The revolutionists point out th; t such edicts a.s these wherein t'ae throne's own appointees and relatives are called thieves and scoundrels, do not tend to encourage confidence. What the edict states regarding the methods of the present administration is of coorse admitted by the revolutionists hut the throne's plea ot ignorance hitherto is regarded as incredible. Hut while the edicts have sipparently faiied of their hoped-for effec t in con ciliating the relx Is. they have stirred up a most formidable opposition from a new source. The announcement that mcst of the llanchti office holders must go and that all the Manchu pen sions "ill be cut off immediately pro duced a pronounced disaffection in the ranks of the Munch us, and many mem bers "f this race at once began talk ing of a massacre of revenge. There were indications already today that these proposals would find support, particularly among the younger .Man chu princes, who v ill now i.e stripped I of th' ir high offices and unable longer to exploit their pesitions. Oftteials prominent among the na tive Chinese profess to have informa tion that Prince Tsai Tao, uncle of the baby empt-ror. is willing to lead the massacre party. Prince Tsai Tao is well known in Europe and America. Throughout the day the foreign lega tions, the missions and even private houses occupied by foreigners were be sieged by both Manchus and Chinese, who sought protection from each other. .Main bus .rv I'neasy. Prince Ching. the premier, is using his influence to restrain that element of the Manchus who may be disposed toward violence. For their part, the Manchus dread a rebel investment of the capital. Certain legations are advising both Chinese and Manchus to lake refuge in case of trouble behind the Metho dist mission, which is situated in that corner of the main city lying between the Iteration quarter and the cast wall. This is the most easily defended sec tion of the city and the legation guards may be able to protect those who gather there. Long lines of carts piled high with the household belongings of fleeing ones continue to pass out the city gates before the earlv closing hours Soldi, rs now guard all the city gates." Many carts emerge from the for bidden city, some guarded hv soldiers Cart loads of silver, sometimes with out a guard, pass day and night in and out of the legation quarter The monev is brought to the legations from the defenseless Chinese tanks for a temporary safe deposit and thn re moved to replace the purer circulations or to be forwarded to the minister of war, generally in exchange for roval troops, who are receiving their tiav with unprecedented regularitv "Wealthy citizens also are entrusting their fortunes to foreigners. The gov ernment has asked the mission doc tors to establish a Red Cross hospital outside the city for the reception of the wounded who are expected to return in a few days from the encounter with General Li Yuen-Heng's rebels Foreigners are anxious over the sit uation in Peking, but not alarmed Outsiders, have not yet entered the le gation quarters. Nevertheless the fullest precautions are being taken Unarmed pickets form a line about the legation walls and extending into the Chinese quarter. Fears are entertained for the foreigners in the nrovinco f Shan-Si many of. whom aw cane. The rebels in that province are said to be in possession of the capital, T'a-Tuan-Fu, where there are several missions and which also is the seat of Shan-Si university. Mowed Down by Machine Guns. Har.kow, Oct. 29, via Wu-Hu, Oct. 31. The revolutionists have rallied and reorganized their forces and are furiously contesting the imperialist ad vance on Han Yang. The insurgents still hold a section of the city which separates the main concessions from the native city, ""he Ked Cross doctors estimate that 1.000 revolutionists have been killed and be tween 2.000 and 3.000 wounded dur ing the lighting of the past three days. Of a rebel battalion which faced the imperialist machine guns w ith intrepid tenacity only two or three escaped. The others were mowed down. The loyalists lost from 200 to 300 killed. Dragon Flag Again Hoisted. Canton, Oct. 31. The dragon flag was again hoisted here today. Business is bein: resumed. Privately Contradicted. London, Oct. 31. A private tele gram from Foo Chow contradicts the report that the city is in the possession of the rebels and adds that all is iuiet. May Help the Situation. Peking. Oct. 31. The national as sembly at today's session voiced its gratification over the edicts recently is sued by the throne and expressed the belief that the situation in China would be improved if the promise were fulfilled. President of the Assembly Prince Shih Hsu submitted a message in which the prince regent, Chun, as sured the assembly that yesterday's imperial pronouncements would be faithfully carried out. The general situation continues tense. The Man ehus fear the investment of the capi tal by the rebels while the Chinese are anxious over the possibility of a mas sacre by Manchus. Tt is doubtful if the imperial edicts will serve to stay the rebellion. HANGING IN THE BALANCE. A Few Days More Probably Will De termine Fate of China. Shanghai, Oct. 31. A very few days will tell the future fortune of China. The burning of the native city of Han- kow by The imperial troops accom panieu according to report ty Drmai treatment of Chinese by Manchus has created the worst possible impression. It i.s predicted that unless the Man chus immediately demonstrate the sin cerity ot the imperial edicts being is sued at Peking, the slaughter will ex ceed that of the Taiping rebellion. The district south of the Yang-Tso-Kiang is ominously quiet. There is every indication that the native city of Shanhai Nanking, Ching-Klng, Chan-Chow and the lower Yang-Tse forts will be in the hands of the revo lutionists within a week. Whether their conquest will be ac companied with a wholesale massacre of Manchus, or quietly as heretofore, depends on the influence of the leaders. Foreigners who at no point have been molested will remain unharmed, the rebels chiefs assure the press, unless such actions as those of the imperial its at Hankow continue and the re ports of the dishonor and murder of defenseless Chifiese women and chil dren make it impossible to control the rabble. Further reports of smalt up-river towns and others in the heart of Sze Chuen province going over to the rebels are received. The panic among the officials at Peking is regarded as one of the worst features of the situa tion as it betrays a weakness on tho part-of the dynasty before the spirit of revolution. Leaders of the new party look on the issuance of the edicts as a victory far greater than anything that has been won on the field of bat tle. River boats are crowded with refu gees. Most of these are Chinese but there are a few foreigners. Eye wit nesses of the righting at Hankow pay a tribute to the Imperialist forces. They say the revolutionists were lit tle more than an untrained mob, but courageous and ready to continue the lighting-. The rebels are operating the Huh-Nun mint and making great quan tities of dollar coins daily. The n;v revolutionary paper is being redeemed immediately on presentation. Well in formed persons believe that if the next few davs pas"3 without an outbreak there will be a strong possibility of the situation being saved through the ap pointment of Yuan-Shi-Kai as premier with a vounger Jiancmi as a usuiukjh i-tiet- to comply with the protocol of lMlu- the forming of a cabinet compos ed entirely of Chinese; the immediate convocation of parliament and thu abandonment of the railroad nationali zation plan. Hankow Ts Retaken. San Francisco. Oct. 31. A dispatch reporting the recapture of Hankow by Ihe rebels was received here today from Shanghai by the Chinese Free 1ress. According to the message the rebel armv from Hanyen moved tigainst the imperial forces and sur rounded the city, necessitating their withdrawal, after capturing two regi ments who surrendered. Four field cannon were among the spoils of the light. BIG MEETING TONIGHT. Topeka Commercial Club Will Ilave a Rally. The biggest and most enthusiastic meet ing of Commercial club members that has been held in months is the order of things for this evening. The Installation of the new officers will take place, and much important business will be transacted. A notice of the meeting sent out by J. Will Kelley, retiring president of the club, to the members reads in part as follows: "Kvery member should be present with suggestions for the further improvement of the club. If you have any fault to find come to the meeting and say so. "Ijpt's get together for a bigger and bet ter Topeka." Coolest of tlie Season. "There was a tremendously heavy frost this morning," remarked "Sunny" Flora, the government weather man, this' afternoon. "It would have done the business if there had been any thing left to kill. It was 33. S degrees this morning shortly before 7 o'clock, the coolest it has been this season. This afternoon it is the warmest it has been for a week. The indications are that the clear weather that starteel early last night will be replaced by increasing cloudiness tomorrow. To morrow will not be quite so pleasant as today. The wind is blowing eight miles an hour from the northeast."

Bounty Law Has Been Irretriev ably Lost. DAWSON IS PUZZLED. Doesn't Understand What Be came of Measure. Removes an mportaut Source of Revenue in West. What has become of the Kansas jack rabbit law? Has it been repealed, or did Dassler lose it in the shuttle when ho compiled the last .statutes, or did the supreme court declare it unconsti tutional? John Dawso.i, attorney gen eral, cannot tind trie law anywhere, it has been misplaced. People from west ern Kansas are writing in to find out about it. 'lhey neea the money. This was a drouth year in tne extreme west ern counties and five cents bounty on jackraboit scalps looks good to the liivmer wuh live husky boys ana no seed wneat The jackrabbit bounty law looks like a joke to the eastern Kansas people, but Attorney General Dawson, wno was reared in the shortgrass country, does not regard it in this spirit ot levity at all. "lit the old years of the droutn and hard times out there,"' said M. Dawson today, "the bounty on jack raobits was a godsend to the farmer boys. It aftorded our only resource for ready money. "The fight then for the country lay between the settlers and the jackrab bits and the latter would have won, I honestly believe, but lor the bounty law. It was no trick at all then to kill 100 jackrahbits. That meant for two days' work. Good wages in those days. Princely pay. "Then the good years came and thc farmers grew prosperous and every one forgot all about the jackrabbit nounty law. The alfalfa and wheat fields d j manded attention. But this year has been a drouth year, and the jackrabbit bounty looks good to the farmer with lots of time and little money or seed wheat. They are asking about that law. They need that five cents per scalp. But I cannot find a sign of the old statute. Neither can I tind where it has been repealed. There was such a law in full force and effect in the early nineties. That is sure, because I worked under it, and bought school books and clothes on the proceeds. I have my office man. Mr. Coleman, look ing for it. He will hunt for it until we find what has happened to it whether it died or was kil'ed by the court or has been lost by the com piler of the statutes. I hope I can find it, l'or I know what it means to some of the western counties." IT WOULD MEAN RUIN. Wiekersliani "Wants to Avoid Receiver sliip. for Tobacco Trust. New York. Oct. 31. "It will be a tremendous calamity to the industries of this country if some means can not be found to reorganize the tobacco combination by avoiding the ruin and wreck that will be certain to follow a receivership,-' was the declaration of Mr. Wickersham today before the L'nited States circuit court. Mr. Wickersham this afternoon be gan his argument for the government in the hearing on the reorganization of the tobacco trust. "Realizing the gravity of the situa tion which confronted the government and the court in this case," the attor ney general continued: "I have done all in my power to aid in bringing about a new condition without resort to a receivership, and I have confer red frequently with your honors and counsel for the defendants to tnat end. I would have been entirely untrue to my trust if I had failed to take that view or tnis case ana cxienuea my powers toward that end." New Y'ork, Oct. 31. Tn opening his statement to the court in the tobacco case today, the attorney general of the T'nitpd states said he confessed "a great deal of sympathy" with the inde pendent tobacco interests fighting the reorganization plan and that he did not feel much concern over extraordinary fears expressed by the American To bacco company representatives. "I can readily see," he continued, "how men who have been fighting each other for years should come here asking the court to cripple his enemy and hand his property over to him. That, however, is not the function of this court, and in such a case as this we must turn a deaf ear to its con sideration." New York, Oct. 31. Arguments for and against the plan proposed by the American Tobacco company for disin tegration of the "tobacco trust" by or der of the supreme court of the United States were continued today be fore the United States circuit court for the southern district of New York. In dependent manufacturers, dealers and producers who strenuously oppose the plan, maintaining that it is deceptive and through mutual stock ownership sales never will result in restoring to the trade actual competition, expect to conclude early in the day. The government then will be heard, the principal address to the court to be made by Attorney General Wick ersham. The attorney general in the government's answer to the proposal of the American company and subsidiary organizations of the combination back ed by the preferred stockholders and bondholders of the corporation held to be in restraint of trade already has in dicated that the government will in sist on a plan of reorganization that will result in effecting real competi tion. Should the plan decided on not act ually accomplish this result the gov ernment proposes to be safeguarded by having reserved to it the right to ap peal to the court for further relief at any time within five years. Judges Lacombe, Coxe, Ward and Noves, who are hearing the arguments. have indicated that they could be com pleted in all probability today, when they will take the case under advise ment. After the statements of the gov ernment's officials have been heard i tha legal representatives of the Ameri can Tobacco company and co-defendants will be given an opportunity" to reply to the charges made by oppon ents of ihe dissolution-plan that it is an insincere attempt to comply with the mandate of the supreme court without relinquishing actual control of the tobacco industry in this country. HOLDm FORTS. Turks Slowly Are Winning Back City of Tripoli. Italians Lose Large Quantities of Arms and Ammunition. Constantinople. Oct. 31. The Turk ish troops with their Arab allies have retaken two forts at Tripoli and forced the Italians to entrench themselves within the city after abandoning large quantities of guns, rifles, ammunition and provisions, according to a tele gram trom Kahmi Bey, the deputy for Saloniki, who is now at Tripoli. The message which was received bv the Tanin at last midnight adds: "The Italians were unable to resist the fierce assaults of the Arabs and were compelled to retreat. The Ital jans still hold three forts. The Arabs are displaying remarkable heroism and hope to recapture the city." The message undated. Italy to Send More Troops. Naples. Oct. 31. Further reinforce ments for the Italian troops in Tripoli are being assembled here. The move ment is attended with much secrecy. From an authoritative source it learned that the present reinforce ment will form another army division comprising four regiments of infantry besides supplementary troops, artil- jery, cavalry and engineers, totalling about fifteen thousand men. It is evi dent that the government is preparing lor still later expeaitions as steamers chartered as transports are still re tained at considerable expense. Judg ing frorr. the arrangement made here which is the headquarters of the com missariat for the colonies, a further expedition of troops will follow in the near future. It is expected before the first of the year Italy will have an army of occupation in Triooli number ing 100,000 men. NINE ARE ACCEPTED Work of Getting MeXanuwa Jury Skw. Los Angeles. Oct. 31. The examina tion of talesmen in the McNamara case continued. Nine talesmen were passed for cause. Talesman T. E. Preston next was examined for cause by the defense. Preston said ho was an architect and had had "more or less trouble with labor unions," since he was a boy and his father in England also bad had trouble witU them. He added that ho still cherished a strong prejudice against labor unions. "Then you 'could not be a fair and impartial juror?" asked Darrow.. Objection of this by the state on the ground of irrelevancy was sustained. "You know the defendant is a mem ber of a labor union?"" "Ye." "And you feel prejudiced." "I never felt kindly toward them," "You heard about the destruction of the Times?" "Yes." "Where did you hear of it?" "In the Times next morning." Attorney Darrow here produced the front page of a newspaper with the headlines, "Unionist bombs wreck the Times." and Preston said he had read. Arguments ensued over whether the page should go into the record as an exhibit. District Attorney Frederick remarked that it purported to be a copy of the Times of October 1, 1910, but he did not know if it was or not. "I wonder if we had better get Oeneral Otis here to identify it," mused Attorney Darrow. Preston said he hart read extensively about the case and had an opinion that the Times w as destroyed by sympathizers with labor unions, which it would take much evidence to remove. He added, however, that he had formed no opinion covering the guilt of the de fendant. 'I would not want to be tried by a man of my feeling," explained Preston and he was immediately challenged by the de fense for actual bias. RODGERS IS OFF AGAIN Aviator Ijoaves EI Pa-so for Today. Doming EI Paso. Oct. 31. Aviator C. P. Rodgers resumed his flight toward the Pacific coast, leaving the ground here at 10:30 o'clock today. He expects to make Deraing, X. M., his first stopping place today. REWARD FOR FLACK. Governor Offers $250 for Arrest Absconding Bank President. of The governor today offered a reward ot $S0 for the arrest and conviction of J. A. Flack, president of an Abilene bank. Flack is charged with having wrecked that institution. Since the failure Flack has disappeared to parts unknown. Con siderable talk lately about Flack and his part in the bank failure has determined the governor to make some effort to bring him back to stand trial on the charges made againsthim. STEEL TRUST EARNINGS New York, Oct. 31. The statement shows: Total earnings of the steel trust for the third quarter ending Septem ber 30 were $23,522,725. Net earnings for the quarter ending September 30 were $22,716,157 .with sur plus net income for the quarter of $2, 745,494. Morgan and Gary Subpoenaed. New Y'ork, Oct. 31. United States Marshal Henkel received today from the federal district attorney at Tren ton, N. J., 19 subpoenas for the defen dant:! in the government equity suit against the United States steel corpor ation who reside in this district. Cop ies of the complaint have been served on J. P. Morgan, Elbert H. Gary and others. GOING THEROUNDS Gossip of Governor Contest Heard on Street. Bfllard a Formidable Contender for Democratic Honor. TO BE RECKONED WITH Conceded That II Will Have Strong Organization. Still Good Guessers Pick Hodges as the Favorite. AVhile there is little talk of state or national politics around the capital city at present, yet n whispered prediction is heard occasionally about the out come of the big political year of 1912. The rp.nk and file will talk even if the leaders are silent, gtubbs will not dis cuss the senatorship nor even set a time for discussion of that subject. Curtis is out west digging artesian wells. Chairman Dolley is chasing bank robbers. Charlie Sessions is pitching horseshoes with Justice Por ter. Senator Hodges has crawled un der one of his own lumber piles at Olathe. Arthur Capper is trying to keep tab on his own employees and he is too busy in his defensive efforts to offset the damage they are doing him to breast the political current with any offensive strokes. But there is Mayor J. B. Billard of Topeka, he will talk politics any time and smiles pleasantly while he talks. Billard is different from all the other politicians. He is without guile and knows not the meaning of duplic ity. He never seeks a news notice nor dodges one. He treats a reporter just the same as he would a hod carrier or a banker. The little mayor is honest. You have to give it to him there. He is too quiet to make a good politician. He is too retiring and he is too hon est. He occupies a place all alone on the political platform for 1912. He is the only candidate of standing or piominence for many years who has taken a stand boldly for resubmission. He will discuss the subject any time and on any phase. He claims nothing, promises nothing, boasts of nothing. He merely speaks his own sentiments without fear or favor of anv man. He is a unique personality, and it has come to a point with many men wiio are in touch with public affairs that Billard will not be the joke in 1912 that the reform politicians and church people think he will be. The Billard cam paign will be well handled and organ ized in every county of the state. He sure of that. The Topeka mayor i.s a successful business man and a tireless worker of good judgment with all his quiet ways and apparently simple de meanor. The Maine election on the re submission question boosted the Bil lard stock lO per cent in the opinion of his friends. The slice cut out of the Stubbs majority of 190S at the 1910 elec tion is more favorable to Billard than Hodges. The liberals slaughtered Stubbs in the face of the Hodges' portesta tions that he was a dry candidate. They thought Hodges would not be so bai as Stubbs. Billard has come squarely out in the open on the prohibition question and will fight it out on that line. He is seeking a Democratic nomination on that issue and has the influence of Henry Wattereion, the Louisville editor and most able of all living Democrats, behind him on that issue. While it is believed that the chances favor Hodges in the Democratic pri mary, yet it is conceded by most po litical students of both parties around the capitol that Billard, if nominated, would poll more votes in November than the Olathe lumberman. Billard's nomination would eliminate party lines entirely and make the gubernatorial campaign a strictly wet and dry issue. The mistake his opponents have always made in regard to Billard has been that they have underestimated him. His strength before the people lies in his direct honesty, his lack of political craft and his failure to blow ing own trumpet. He was elected mayor of Topeka twice over strong candidates because of these things. His vote next summer will surprise a lot of people. The following incident that hap pened on a Topeka street car last night will illustrate better than any thing else how Billard is regarded by many workingmen who have nothing at all to do with politics: Attorney General Dawson was on the car, standing upon the back plat form. A man in overalls and work- stained coat stood by him. The attor ney general engaged the man in con versation. "How is the sentiment of the workingmen on the gubernatorial fight?" asked the state official. "Are they for Capper or Frank Ryan?" The workingman looked steadily at Dawson for a minute and then he burst forth: "Aint Billard running for gover nor?" he asked anxiously. Dawson was flabbergasted. He replied in the affirmative and changed the conversa tion. FALCANIO'S GOODBYE Apostolic Delegate Sends Out Valedic tory Ix-tter. Washington, Oct. 31, Au apostolitic valedictory was sent to all the archbishops of the t.oman Catholic church today by .Jlgr. Diomede f alconlo, the papal dele gate to the United States. 'By a letetr of the 18th instant, an nounced the deelgate, "his eminence. Car dinal Merry Del Vai, informs me that His Holiness Pope Plus the tenth, will be pleased to promote me to the high dignity of the cardinalate on the occasion of the next consistory, which will take place on the 27th of Noveraoer, Mgr. Falconio say ing that "my elevation to the cardinalate will mark the end or my mission as anolstic delegate to the United States, expressed his highest appreciation of all the kindnesses shown him by the people of the United States during his tenure of office as representative of the pontiff. "In a most special manner," reads this official letter, "my thanks are due to the American hierarchy, the luster of the Catholic church of the United States. I carry with me to Rome the best and most consoling proofs of the great re ligious and social work which is being successfully carried on in this vast re public through the earnest zeal of the bishops and the efficient co-operation of our beloved clergy and faithful people. When at Rome, under the shadow of St. Peters, though far away from you, 1 shall ever remember with joy and pride this flourishing portion, now so endeared to me of Christ's divine church und I shall constantly pray that (Jod may shower in abundance upon you all his choicest gifts."

Mr. Melcher Says Federation 19 the Only Question. Chicago, Oct. 31. Officials of the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific here today denied that shopi.ien are taking a strike vote to force a wage increase. F. O. Melcher, vice president in charge of operation, said the road had no of ficial knowledge that any vote was be ing taken, but that practically the only ungranted demand of the men was for recognition of the system federation, the same cause for which shopmen on the Harriman lines now are striking. "We have been told indirectly that the men are taking a strike vote," said Mr. Melcher, "but if that is true, the ques tion of wages is not involved." Talk of a shopmen strike on the Rock Island, however, was general among labor union men here. James W. Kline, international president of the blacksmiths, was busy yesterday exchanging telegrams with other inter national officials. He was in constant communication with J. A. Franklin of the boilcrmakers; Michael O'Sullivan of the sheet metal workers and Mar tin Ryan of the carmen, all of whom are in Kansas City, and James O'Con nell of the machinists, now at Wash ington, D. C. Presielent Kline sent out a call today for the heads of the other interna tional unions to meet in Chicago at the earliest possible time to discuss the advisability of a strike. TAFT CAfl VOTE Secretary Find a Way to Let the ident Register. Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 31. Concerning the legal right of President Taft to vote Tuesday, Secretary C II. Graves said today: "It appears the affidavit which the president sent to the Cincinnati elec tion board to be registered as an ab sent elector was defective. ISither the president or notary forgot to sign it. Even if the defect invalidates the affi davit it will not bar the president from voting. "He will have the right that every elector has who is absent from his home city on all the regular registra tion days preceding election and can receive personally from the Cincinnati election board a special permit to reg ister at the booth in his precinct." GEN. FOSTER IS CALLED To Tell Wliat He Knows of leged Boxer Claim. an .VI- v ashir.gtoii. Oct. Jl. A congres sional inquiry into the United States government's action in paying out of the Chinese Boxer indemnity fund a half century old claim of $386,000 pre sented by the heirs of General F. T. Ward was renewed here today. The house sub-committee on state depart ment expenditures gave a hearing to General John W. Foster, former secre tary of state, to whom, as attorney, the Ward money was paid. He was sum moned to give a detailed account of the entire proceedings. It was contended that the Ward pay ments were irregular because the cluim had no connection with the Boxer troubles and because it had been re ported that the claim already had been paid. RICHESON IS INDICTED Charged by Grand Jury With the Mnr dor of Miss I.innell. Boston, Oct. 31. On charge of mur dering Miss Avis I.innell of Hyannis. Rev. Clarence V. T. Iticheson, pastor of Immanuel Baptist church, Cam bridge was indicted by the grand jury of Suffolk county in special session today. The indictment is on five counts. Rieheson, whose neat appearance had been remarked everywhere for merly, could scarcely be distinguished from the other prisoners when he came into court. His fact was hag gard and pale and his clothes appear ed ill-fitting. Later in the day the accused clergy man was returned to the jail In the prison van. TO APPEAL TO TAFT Cotton Farmers Want Bears and Bulls Treated Alike. New Orleans. Oct. 31. The gover nors' conference will prepare u me morial to President Taft asking that the cotton farmers be squarely dealt with in the matter of employing the Sherman anti-trust law in the specu lative world; suggesting that if it is just to indict bulls of the cotton mar ket then the government should dis play an equal activity in prosecuting those on the other side of the market why by their speculation help depress prices. filELLNGER DEAD.

Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the condi tion of the kidneys. The physician in nearly all cases of aerious illness, makes a chemical anal ysis of the patient's urine. He knows that unless the kidneys' are doing their work properly, the other organs can not be brought back to health and strength. When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health statistics1, Bright's disease which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in 1910. in the state of New York alone. Therefore, it behooves us to pay more attention to the health ol these most important organs. An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. The mild and healing influence of this preparation is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of cures.

T PEPER'S Rut S-hcrer Is Preparing to Beat Kan sas Airsies. Baldwin. Kan., Oct. 31. Baker will meet the Kansas Aggies at Baldwin next Saturday. Baker has been point ing for this game during the whole season's practice and at Baldwin the Aggie game is considered the big game of this season's schedule. In the game against Campbell last Saturday the Baker team had special instruction to keep under cover all of the open plays and to play only the old, line smashing some, so that all the plays with which Coach Scherer hopes to win from the Aggies may be worked for the first time next Saturday. The only plays which the team used at Campbell were straight iine bucks and end runs, with a simple forward pass. It was a hard victory for Baker, however, for Zabel, who is one of Ba ker's star men, had his knee twisted in the first quarter of the game and was not able to play the brand of football that he has been playing this season. He was not able to walk off the field and it is very probable that he will not be able to play in the game with the Aggies. The Baker team will practice behind closed gates every day this week and at night the men will hold signal prac tice in the gym. Baker will use every thing possible to win from the Farm ers, for if this game is won for Baker it puts the team in a very good posi tion for the state college champion ship. The game next Saturday will be perhaps the strongest game ever played on the local gridiron. From the dope on the games that the two schools have already played the game promises to be hard foiight. Dalton has developed into a great kicker and his booting will probably be a feature of the game. from the actual playing end of the game. The veteran manager of the Pirates has threatened to quit active work for a long time, but the fact that he had no man as good as himself to take his place each season has forced him to return to the outfield. He had not intended to play this year, but again took the field and put the best game of his career, being one of the strongest hitters in the old league, and fielding faultlessly. He has developed Scoops Carey for the outfield, and the younger man looks like a star of the first magnitude. There is also Vincent Campbell, who is a capable outfielder, waiting for a regular job.

The team has not shown form in any department of the game this season and when the men were started into practice last night, their work was so poor the coach had to have them quit and go back to September work. Falling on the ball, making and re ceiving passes, and particularly on tackling, they were pitiably weak, all of which was discovered when they executed a few plays with the scrubs. After an hour had been devoted to the rudimentary practice, another attempt to scrimmage with the second team was made. There was a little im provement. Fear Bine Is Outclassed. It is the fear of local collegians that the Blue squad will be badly outclass ed by Kansas Saturday. They are try ing to point the team by Saturday to play their strongest game of the sea son but the men have failed to get the fighting spirit. They quit at Xorman last Saturday as soon as Oklahoma scored and while they were standing about the field terribly lambasted by the fast charges of the Sooners. Sev eral of the men are in poor condition to play again this week. The scrubs were given some or the Kansas plays and sent against the var sity with them. They were generally successful though they were allowed to retain the ball when by rule they had lost it. The varsity was kept on the defense against this attack with the hope of perfecting a method of breakiner ur the plays. The Washburn lineup for the game will be the same as went to Oklahoma except that Dean Rogers will be in at fullback. Several good men are not eligible under the Missouri valley rules.

Mr. Martin states his position as fol lows: "Referring to many inquiries con cerning my position on public ques tions, 1 wish to state that while I be lieve one Kepublican can rot make a platform for all his fellow Republi cans and that he should be in a posi tion to consider with fairness the judgment and opinions of all others in regard to the many public questions before the people, 1 do have well de fined views upon many of these ques tions. "I strongly favor a reform in the procedure in the courts. I know about the law's delays and believe justice should be as speedy as possible. Judge Madison had this subject at heart and I consider it a very important measure. "I favor a reform in the currency to prevent money panics, but no man or set of men should have control over our issue of money. "I favor a revision of the tariff upon the Republican principles of protection to American workmen and producers. "I do not believe in the election of postmasters, nor in too many elec tions. Our ballot is too long now. Postmasters and the employees should be appointed on merit and under civil service rules. "I believe th& enforcement of the laws we have "will do as much or more atood than the enactment of new ones. 1 have been called a crank on this sub ject. Laws should be enforced fairly and justly, regardless of who is hurt. "Legislation to strengthen and better enforce our anti-monoply and anti trust laws will receive my support. "I believe in economy in public af fairs. If possible, the national ex penses which of late years have been growing so great, should be reduced. Whenever a reduction can be made without crippling the administration of law I shall favor it. "I shall be for the most liberal pen sion legislation that can be passed. "Railroads and other common car riers should be regulated, and I will support legislation to strengthen and enlarge present laws to prevent dis crimination, provide better service, and if possible, cheaper rates. "My first desire will be to protect and care for the interests of the com mon people of this district. All their interests are my interests. All ques tions that come up for consideration will be given careful consideration and study and I shall try to be informed about the subject, and then do my best for the people I represent.

Wichita, Kan., Oct. 31. P. V. Healy made a discovery which leads him to believe that a house of his has been used for cock fighting. A room in the upper story of the house, which has been empty for some time, was litter ed with feathers and the floor was spotted with blood. The room con tained benches supposedly to seat the spectators of the fights. A carpenter Mr. Healy sent to re model the house this week discovered evidence of intruders when he went to the house on the morning following his first day's work in the lower part. His tools were untouched. Puzzled to explain the intrusion, he searched the house and found the well feathered room. He reported to Mr. Healy that someone had been picking chickens at night in the house. Mr. Healy was unsatisfied with the explanation and made a search. The walls of the room were arranged for hanging lanterns and boards shaded the only window in the room.

NO MORE LEGISLATION WANTED Uniform Classification Committee Is Satisfied Now. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 31. The com mittee on uniform classification of freight and simplification of tariffs made a report to the national conven tion of railway commissioners at Washington. The chairman of this committee is Interstate Commerce Commissioner E. E. Clark. The sep arate classifications now in force have been built up through years of oper ation in the different classification territories, the carriers in each terri tory considering particularly their own interests and acceding in numberless instances to the desires or demands of their patrons. The committee reported as follows: "The carriers' committee in charge of the several present classifications are giving due consideration to the provisions of the other classifications. and are seeking to bring about uni formity in different features and items as changes are made. Every such step contributes toward ultimate conform itv. It is better for all concerned to permit the present plan of action to continue so long as substantial anu continuing progress is thus made, rather than to now undertake to pre- nare and prescribe a uniform classifi cation. We also think that behind this effort on the part of the carriers there should be the spur of continued inter est and activity on the part of all in terested or vested with any authority In the nremises. and a definite under standing, that if continued and sub stantial progress is not made, the work will be undertaken through other means by those having authority so to do. "A study of this work leads to the thought that uniformity in classifica tion can perhaps only be reached by resort in some Instances to additional commodity rates. Your commit tee does not wish to be understood as suggesting that uniform classification is impossible, but the work is or mucn greater magnitude than was at first thought by anyone. v e do not see occasion ior recoinmeuums mo ther legislation on this subject. car shortage increased from 6,632 cars on September 27 to 10,900 on October 11, an increase of 3,4 58 cars, or 52.14 per cent.

The long distance telephone service be tween St. Louis and Kansas City will enable the general officials here to get in quick communication with those points, and avoid much delay in the handling of urgent business. The ter ritory covered by the telephone train dispatching circuit on the Illinois di vision is to be extended to take in the southern Illinois coal fields, where the lines are now operating by use of the telegraph.

By means of this device it is absolutely impossible, without total disregard of all rules and signals, for a train to en ter a block without the knowledge and consent of the operator at each end of it, thus insuring the safety ot passen gers from collisions.

Dilley, claims equal distinction with the Salina wo man who is the mother of two civil war veterans. Mrs. Dilley's son. Chas. Canity, who died in Emporia last year, was a member or the one Hundred and Thirty-seventh New York volunteer regiment. His regiment was stationed at Harper's Ferry and while a detach ment of men was clearing a field ot timber, a filling tree struck young Con ley on the head. He was seriously injured and was takea to the hospital at Harper s u erry. His mother at her home in New- York state was busy in her kitchen filling a box with Thanksgiving dain ties to send to her son, when a mes sage came stating that he had been injured and could not recover. Mis. Dilley, who at that time was Mrs. Con ley, immediately set out to And ami nurse ner son. She had a lot of tro ble in getting admittance to t'.ie hos pital, but finally gained her point. Un der his mother's care he partially re covered and was sent home. Nursed OUier Soldiers. In obtaining permission to enter the hospital Mrs. Dilley agreed to care for a ward of wounded soldiers, and alter her son was sent home she was trans ferred to another hospital and served j as a nurse during the greater .part of I the civil war. She is a member ot an organization of Civil War nurses. Charles Conley again entered the army in 1S62 and served his country during the remainder of the war. Mrs. Dilley was born in Cuyahoga county. New York, May 1, 1826. Her father was Philip Dickens, of Engli-sli descent, said to have been related to Charles Dickens, the novelist. Mrs. Dilley'd grandfather was a soldier in the Revolutionary war. Her grandson, Theodore Conley of Emporia, was a soidier in the Spanish, war. Mrs. Dilley :ives alone in a 5-room cottage.

FLEES BAREFOOT TO POLICE. Woman Who T'ought for Child Beaten by Husband. Wichita, Kan., Oct. 31. Mrs. A. B. Moore, whose frantic efforts in district court last August to retain -custody of a child she wished to adopt created so much interest in this city, appeared at the police station barefooted and crying, to make complaint against her husband. She stated that she had been given a whipping by Mr. Moore, a conductor for the Missouri Pacific railway. Mr. and Mrs. Moore first gained the attention of Wichita people about the middle of last August in connection with proceedings over a baby girl, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Crelling of Pittsburg, Kansas. Mr. Moore was arrested and 3oent last night in the city jail. He denies having beaten his wife. Murrill Shaw, a Missouri Pacific brakeman, also was arrested by the police in connection with charges made by Mrs. Moore. She told the police that Mr. Moore had taken home goods which she thought he had not purchased. Mr. Moore told the police that a sack of sugar had been given him by Brake man Shaw. Special agents for the Missouri Pa cific railway informed the police de partment that they beiieved goods had been stolen from the railway. Both railway men are being held for in vestigat!on, Children Cry for Fletcher's m i f Mnj and li ESKIMO GIRL IN JAIL. Two Years' Sentence Here Probably Means Her Death. Leavenworth, Kan., Oct. 31. A full blooded Eskimo woman, Carrie San; Sing, is in the penitentiary at Lansing to serve two years for assault with a deadly weapon. She is the first Eskl mo to be imprisoned there. Carrie Sang Sing may not ring like a true Eskimo name. It isn t becausa Carrie was married to a Chinaman in Nome. The marshal said he had heard her maiden name, but he could not remember it, and Carrie could not spell it- Carrie's stepmother died in prison at McNeil Island a little more than a year ago and her father, who has been imprisoned at McNeal Island, lives in Nome, Alaska. His name is Ablaruk. Both her father and stepmother were convicted of the same offense for which Carrie was brought all the way from Nome. Carrie didn't restrict her dissipation to eating gumdrops. While under the influence of liquor Carrie slashed a fel low native with a knife. Two years at Lansing may mean a life sentence to Carrie. Eskimos do not live long in temperate climate and the next summer may kill her. GIRL FORGES MOTHER'S NAME. Parent, Out LOCATED IN LEAVENWORTH. Settlers $500. Orders Arrest of Offspring.

When they first settled in Leavenworth in October, 1864, Mrs. George Fisher carried with her the first baby that ever blessed the community her three months old boy. The Fishers brought some lumber with them from St. Louis and with it they erected a shed in which they lived until they could get a house built. Both of these men did much for the early development of Leaven worth. Adam, especially, was one of the most energetic, capable and pub lic spirited men that ever lived in the city, according to the late H. Miles Moore. For many years afterwards he resided in Washington, while his brother, George, lived on the Law rence road southwest of Leavenworth. Both are now probably dead. KANSAS BOY WINS PRIZE.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. That Dr. Cook was unable to "come tack" in Copenhagen only emphasizes the fact that he was a chump to try it. This is also the season of the year when picking the winners in the foot ball arena is a decidedly uncertain practice. After having been steered on a trip lip "Salt Creek" by the Philadelphia Athletics, Mugsy McGraw and his giants are going on a jaunt to Cuba. Newspaper editors have been es pecially derelict this year in not advis ing their readers to do their Christmas shopping early. Christmas will be here and gene in a few short weeks. One of the experts in the premises tleclares that fully half of the women in the United States are religionless, or, in other words, do not belong to nny church. This being the case, think of the number of men who are in the same undesirable boat. In the death of Joseph Pulitzer, the United States loses a wonderful news paper editor and publisher and an equally remarkable man. Although stone blind for many years, he has per sonally directed the conduct of his mammoth newspaper properties. In their next national campaign the Democrats will have to get along without posing as the only original trust busters if they had a chance to work at that game. President Tat't and his attorney general have rather cut the ground from under their feet in this particular. Xew York City is entertaining 20,000 sailors' from the U. S. warships gath ered in the harbor there for the big review, by President Taft. And Xew York City is licking its chops accord ingly. On getting their shore-leave each of these sailors is likely to have several months pav in his pockets. How men change with the times. A few years ago and it was impossible, almost to serve John D. Rockefeller with the preliminary papers in any kind of a suit. Xow he sends a trap to meet the process server at the gate way to his place, welcomes him at the house with open arms and invites him to break bread. Ellsworth people are demanding that bloodhounds be used again in an tiffort to run down the murderer of the .Showman family. If the people and the officials of Ellsworth, and other communities in Kansas as well, would put a real detective or two on such a case, and put less stock in the sagacity of bloodhounds as criminal catchers, much better results would be obtained. Toptkans are going to have to pay more than a million dollars in taxes this year. That's a big sum of money, but you don't hear much if any grumb ling over taxes in Topeka. This is due to the fact that Topekans not only have the money but they are also reas onably certain that they are getting a dollar's worth of return for every dol lar they pay in taxes. Certain Kansas officials are rightly proud over the number of bank rob bers who have been caught in the state during the past few months and sent to the penitentiary. Xo Kansas offi cials, though, are giving any publicity to the uncaught and unpunished mur derers who have operated in the state during the past twelve months. Xo, indeed. That would not be a record to v hich anybody could point with pride. For many years Mr. Bryan has been gaining notoriety and fame by waging a war of words against trusts, and in sisting that they should be busted. Xow that President Taft and his at torney general are doing this very thing in a most successful fashion Mr. Bryan's trust-busting magazine has been emptied of its ammunition. As a substitute, though, he is promulgating a. ridiculous charge that President Taft "packed" the supreme court so that the anti-trust law would be dehorned to the extent of preventing the crim inal punishment of trust magnates. "Were this the case, which it is not, Mr. Bryan could scarcely make any poli tical capital out of his latest propa sv.nda. Even if he should run for president and get elected he couldn't "unpack" this court, unless he could institute successful impeachment pro ceedings against several of its Justices, wkiCJl i far from being likely. CHAPTER IX. Being a continuation of the previous chapters but along modified lines and new incidents in the "Reminiscences of a Xewspaper Man in Topeka." Since the State Journal has been running the famous Mutt and Jel'f. and the wonderfully life-like and natural cartoons by that celebrated artist, V. Opper, who by the way is drawing his cartoons exclusively, in Topeka, for the State Journal, there have been n few minor uprisings in the family of the writer that have caused some litt'.s diversion. For instance, the other evening his better-half said to him: "Xow I will tell you what I think of your old cartoons which I see you are running every day, and especially on Saturdays." "Well, what do you think of them?" "Why. that one at the top of the seventeenth page in Saturday's paper I think is almost a perfect image of you- and shows Just the way you con duct yourself sometimes in the pres ence of your family." Of course, like any one naturally would, with the writing of these im portant chapters on his hands, and other chapters on his mind, for the moment the writer could not recall ju3t what cartoons had appeared at the top of the seventeenth page of last Saturday's double number; so he went, out to the nursery and fished out what was left after the youngsters had cut out about all there was left of his stuff in the paper after the managing editor had taken a "whack at it." to sea just what particular reference his wife, was really making. Would you believe it! There tho writer saw himself depicted in just such an attitude, in fact a half a dozen at titudes that he had, with chest thrown out, assumed a few evenings before when .he and his wife were sitting down near the telephone table, and when our neighbor's new little do,; Rover had just dropped in and curled up near the chair, and began to aiake himself at home, just as if he belong ed at our house instead of at the ad joining hou.se on south at the corner of Eleventh and Topeka avenue, our nearest neighbor's. Yes. this editor at times makes a specialty of the tariff question. He has threshed it out until ne annual, thought he knew a real tariff when lw saw it. except after Champ Clark and Bob LaFollette hit it a few times; alo inserting on the sly a little steel probe into the innocent bale of cotton at the customs dock last summer, un- ,ler discussion, and that too betore any committee, or any congressman whatever excect the Wisconsin senator and the speaker, had had "a look-in" a', it. So when the wife made the remark that it would be "iust lovely to have this matter of exports and duty on for eign goods, rate schedules and traue balances explained," the writer was right in his element, and started in to give the real and unbiased history or the customs collections, etc.; but the lariv who constituted the audience seemed to take more interest in "Rover" than she did in what her hus band was telling her. Xow what do you think of that: Xot to be suppressed, the lady audi ence shouted as the standing candi date for commissioner of customs was leaving the room, and with some feel ing: "I see you are working nights on something headed 'Chapter XVI.' Have you got your alleged 'Reminiscences' down to the sixteenth chapter already, and by the way, why don't you copy right your 'Reminiscences.' The first thing you know somebody will be clip ping out these articles from the paper and beat you to the publication of the book." It sm-ely does take a woman to bor row trouble. Do you know I had never thought of that copyright business be fore, and perhaps when the writer gets time, and a little over his rush, and a few chapters ahead for emergencies, in case he should be called out of town, because he wants to run one chapter every day. he may then think of the copyright. By the way, I won der who is a good copyright lawyer? I don't see any advertisements in the paper that would guide me. We notice that the "Insurgents' still seem to be worried oer what the "Sage of Oyster Bay" may do in con nection with national politics. Many of our Kansas friends who have been "insurging clear across the state slop ping over into Chicago and Wisconsin, seem to have a 'worried .look of late, upon their hitherto happy faces. Gov ernor Stubba does not hardly seem to know just how he ought to jump; whether he ought to come out strong for LaFollette right now, or whether he ought to hold off and see if this Taft tide which seems to be setting in rather stiffly just now, may not lif the Kansas ship of state from the sand bar of "insurgency" where it grounded last Xovember, leaving as castaways on the sands of the Xeosho, and of time, the congressional remains of Charley Scott and ex-Representativa Miller, to say nothing of Calderheau who was lost overboard when the oi'3 Sunflower ship was sailing along the placid waters of the Blue in northern Kansas. Arthur Capper, a near insurgent, shows signs that he may be getting a glimpse of Taft in the lime-light of the coming year but Arthur is smil ing and not committing himself just yet, Xow there is William Allen Wrhite of the Emporia Gazette, another "In surgent." He does not seem to know exactly where he is at. He said the other day in Des Moines that the Wall street interests had deserted Taft, but the writer could not hardly see the connection. Did White want the Wall street interests to stand over near Governor Wilson and Senator La Fol lottee, or does he think the Wall street people ought to come out open ly for Harmon? He could not under stand Mr. White's position on the "Certain Rich Men'' representing the Interests. He seemed to think it was a calamity that the moneyed men were not satisfied with Our President. He also said that Taft had lost the west and could not regain it. White is. a little vague here also. We didn't know that Taft had lost the west yet. In fact, the west seems to have found Taft lately and found him pretty near ly all right. Out there in Spokane they almost smothered him with kind ly attention and if Taft was lost in that part of the west a couple of weeks ago, he must have been buried under a mountain of those wonderful Washing ton roses which we of the central east read about. But Taft will soon find himself at the same old stand in Wash ington, due there tomorrow. Here's hoping our good president who has been so illy jostled will now settle down for a while "and for FOUR YEARS MORE" Why not! Xow, there is Senator Bristow. He and White are hitched up together, but one of these Kansas "Insurgents" seems to be out and out for LaFol lette, while the other one is a little on the fence, but with a strong lean ing toward the "Sage of Princeton." Xow there is one more "Insurgent" that we haven't counted on yet today. He is the new representative, Jackson from Greenwood, who beat Miller of the Fourth district, so that where two "conservatives" once stood, now we find one "insurgent" in their places, but Jackson does not seem to be commit ting himself quite clearly on the presi dential situation. He has come out, it is to be sure, pretty strongly fur Champ Clark, (see State Journal in terview last week) but may be he did that simply to curry favor with the speaker; hoping to get something better in the next congress than a mere junior membership on the Com mittee on Ventilation, of the new and revised congressional meeting place for the house. Xow Jackson seems to have lean ings toward Cummins and might be supposed to say: "Xow, fellow citi zens," addressing White and Stubbs and Bristow, "what's the matter with Cummins? Isn't he all right?" and continue in Jackson way like this as he proselyted "You can talk all you please about Wilson and about La Follette. One is a college president, neither wild nor woolly, and the other is a man who seems to have a small bomb in his pompadour; at least that is the way wall street sizes mm ui. But there's Cummins, he can bring our following together. Maybe he can get a few Taft men. A few months ago we all thought he was going to on for Taft, but he has switched since and can now be safely counted as one of us 'insurgents;' as against Taft and any of his practical, progressive poli cies. Xow why not take Cummins as he is. "Isn't he the solution?'' Xo, he's the limit. Xow there you have it. The insur gents of Kansas are all split up on presidential possibilities. They can not get together. They seemed to have a sort of an idea that at the Chicago conference the other day Colonel Roosevelt might lead them out of the troubled waters of the sea of politics into which they were fast drifting, without an anchor to windward. This big quartette, constituting what might be said the sinew and backbone of Kansas insurgency is certainly in hard lines. Statesmen and others had lately gone forth to the little Long Island village with hope in their faces, but alas, in returning the reporters noticed that they came out with the Glooms although they had gone in with tha Joys. Xow, the Chicago conference is over, and ex-President Roosevelt has not yet broken his long and ominous silence, nor told his good friends among the insurgents whether he i.'i going to come out for LaFollette, or Cummins or Wilson, or whether, way down in the bottom of his heart, after all, he is not for his "Dear Friend Will;" that is, providing, of course, and essentially, that William Howard captures the convention next summer. Of course, it would be mighty in teresting reading right now to know just what Colonel Roosevelt is think ing, and by the way, this reminds us. On Thursday, October 19th, this writ er wrote a fourth page heavyweight, under the heading of "Taft and Clark," and what do you think! A friend tells us he sent a marked copy of that State Journal to Oyster Bay, and he had marked the last end of that editorial. Xow, what do you think of that! We wonder what the colonel will think. Maybe he will think that we sent him that editorial, fishing for one of his autographs in return; but at any rate, this friend of ours, that is, he claims to be a friend of ours, may have gotten us into the preserves of the colonel. What, we wonder, will the Outlook be! For here is what the writer now finds was the last end of that innocent editorial, which was hurled upon an unsuspecting public in the Topeka State Journal of that Thurs day evening, for lo and behold, this is the way the last part reads. The Lord help us when the colonel sees it, if he does see it, for here it is again, reprint ed today for ready testimony in case of another Ananias trial: Xow as to Roosevelt, the colonel is all right, and don't you forget it. He is wise. He will be for Taft, it Taft be nominated, but also, in all likelihood, he would be for some other Republican if some other Republican be named, for tho colonel in his head is a "Regular." al though in his heart he is sometimes an "Insurgent," but for all practical pur poses, like the licking of democracy, lie Is a "Regular," of the strictest and straightest stripe. Some time ago it was inconsiderately, incautiously and unwarrantably reported that the colonel had said he would sup port Taft; that is to say. It was given out that he would help in the work toward the nomination of Taft. This consensus of the colonel's co-d and calculating position was thought to be correct, because Insurgent senators going to Ovster Bay with the idea of inducing him to come out for LaFollette or Cum mins or some other insurgent received no encouragement. In fait, they came awav bowed down and dismantled; they joined the glooms: they thought the coi onel was against them. He was not neeessarilv against them. They Jumped (to conclusions; they jumped so far that even me vv mte iouse aancea wlid sieu and received the "jovs, when the word was passed along that the colonel had committed himself to Taft. Xow, of course, the colonel never did anything of the sort and he quickly said so: Zip!! Zip!! Zip!'.! He doubtlefci thought that having been president, and having practically dictated the nomina tion of another president, that he was entitled to sit on the fence awhile and see some one else play the game. He was not rooting for either crowd, but when the crowd picked the winner, and if it should prove to be Taft, It could be put down that there would be no more consistent supporter, of Taft than the colonel himself. Sure, the colonel will support Taft, at the election, and has intended to all along, if Taft win the first heat against LaFollette. Continued to Chapter X., in tomorrow's issue.

Oid Bill Shiftless stepped briskly into the house the other day, tells the Osborne Farmer. Taking off his old felt hat he gave his arm a swing, the hat w ent spinning across the room and landed squarely on one of the bed posts. "Look at that, wife," shouted Oid Bill, "wasn't that a peach of a ringer? I've got so I'm pizen to all the boys and they know it." "Will," said Mrs. Shiftless, "I wish you would take this hook and fasten it well up in the corner of the house so I can tie the clothesline to it. It is strong and won't pull out and let the clothes down in the dirt." "Wife," said Old Bill, sadly, "you know that my rheumatism always comes back when I reach above my head a few times. I just can't put that hook where you want it. You and Mary can do it all right. I will tell you how." With that Bill took a cud of tobacco out of mouth and taking aim, .shot it squarely into the coal bucket. "Another ,b;autil'ul ringer," muttered Old Bill as he, sat down in an easy chair and pulled a copy of the Appeal to Reason out of his pocket and began to read a long article on how all men are born equal and It is a crime for one man to have a million dollars while another is broke. ADVERTISING TALKS BY WILLIAM C. FREEMAN" Vice-Consul-General Henry D. Baker was recently quoted in a publication, the name of which I have forgotten, on how Xew Zealand advertises butter in England. This is what the publication said: "Co-operative effort has lately been made by dairy interests of Xew Zealand to promote the sale of their butter in Eng land through a comprehensive plan of ad vertising in English newspapers. Since the first of this year about $15,000 has been spent on this campaign. "One full page advertisement that has come to my notice mentions that Xew Zealand butter is made under the strictest government supervision, under ideal con ditions, from cattle grazed on the grand est pastures of the world, and that the steamship Ttairni has just arrived with 3,o45,664 pounds of this butter, and it is now on sale by grocers and provision mer chants throughout the United Kingdom." A list was given of nearly 900 dealers In London who had undertaken to make a special display of New Zealand butter in their windows on the day the advertise ment was printed. It was also stated that the English retailers have reported splen did esults from this advertising. The National Dairy Association of Xew Zealand now has an agent in Ixindon es pecially to look after the promotion of the butter and cheese business, and the min ister of agriculture of New Zealand has announced that he will appoint an officer, who is a dairy expert, to special service In England to further the dairying interescs of the Dominion. This is confirmation of the statements that have appeared in this column from time to time of how easy it is to conduct a business successfully if back of the business there is the principle of absolute integrity if the business handles articles that are reliable. And doesn't it also confirm the state ment that the way to get direct and im mediate results is to advertise in daily newspapers In co-operation with the deal ers in the communities where the daily newspapers are printed. Do manufacturers wish a better example than the plan followed by the N'ew Zealand authorities in their advertising campaign? Do the dealers in the commu nities wish a tetter plan than that ad vised in this quotation from Vice-Consul Baker? Any article of merit that is manufac tured can be advertised in a similar way throughout the- United States by employ ing the newspapers in each community where the article is to be sold. Think it over, Mr. Manufacturer. (To be continued.) POINTED PA11AURAKHS. From the Chicago Xews. The only way to feel good is to believe that way.

THE EVENING STORY On jack O' Lantern Xight. (By Clara Lucy Deacon.) There was a rattling" volley of gravel against the window pane and then sounds of scampering footsteps dying away in the distance. "What was that?" asked Miss Ger rick of her startled guests. A ripple of laughter came from the lower end of the table. "Why, Aunt Grace don't you know it's Hal loween?" Kitty Gerrick's mis chievously pretty face peeped around the flowers at her handsome, dignified aunt. "Halloween? Why dear me, I had forgotten there was such a festival!" exclaimed Miss Gerrick so sincerely that everybody laughed again. "I thought the festival rites were rather weird and fantastic indeed, when I was quite a little girl my old German nurse called it 'Walpurgis night,' and I recollect she impressed it upon me that it was well to keep under cover on that eve, for witches and goblins were abroad." "This is a twentieth century fan tasy," remarked Mrs. Bliss cynically. "Nowadays we are convinced that hob goblins are a delusion of the ignorant and superstitious, but in tolerant rec ognition of the occasion we ring doorbells, steal gates from their hinges and toss gravel against the window panes to startle our sensible or for getful neighbors." "Oh, Mrs. Bliss!" cried Kitty re proachfully, "what a turncoat you are! Don't you remember what a delightful Halloween party you gave us two years ago? Wre did all the proper things worked all the old charms; we had a perfectly lovely time." Mrs. Bliss smiled at Kitty's en thusiasm. "Thank you, dear. I know you were all the most charming guests but I will confess I was disappoint ed when my young people took it in such a matter-of-fact way. They seem ed bored with the charms, but perfect ly happy when the dancing began. You ail spoke of it as 'Jack o'Lantern night,' when in reality it was the 'Eve of All Souls!" "Do you really believe in those old charms?" asked Kitty rather timidly, and the young man beside her seemed to listen as eagerly as she did for Mrs. Bliss's reply. "Yes, indeed!" returned that happily married matron, exchanging a swift glance with her husband. "Why, Mr. Bliss and I became engaged on Hal loween!" "Did one of the charms really work true?" asked Kitty, blushing under the gaze of the interested young man. "Yes," Mrs. Bliss smiled reminis cently, "it worked true and in the most unexpected manner possible." "In a very forcible manner, I may add," said Mr. Bliss impressively. "It was one of those old games where you pare an apple and toss the paring over your shoulder to see what initial will take form. I had pared the apple and held it in one hand; with the other hand I was to toss the paring over my left shoulder; only, unfortun ately, I became confused and tossed the apple over my right shoulder and it struck Mr. Bliss in the eye." "After that I could not escape," complained Mr. Bliss gloomily, "and as I demanded an explanation and compensation for my pain and er fright we compromised by acceding to fate's evident selection and were married forthwith." There was a little murmur of de lighted interest, for the Blisses were markedly an ideally married pair. "There must be something in this Halloween business, after all," ex claimed young Hazen, who sat next to Kittv Garrick, and as a little smile went around the table he blushed furi ously. Capt. Aymer ut in a word of in quiry. "Please tell us about these charms. Mrs. Bliss," he said in his di rect sailor way. All eyes turned to the handsome white-haired and sea-bronzed naval officer who had been a quiet listener. If anyone had glanced at Grace Ger rick he would have noticed that their hostess had flushed to the soft waves of her snowy hair. As Capt. Aymer listened with grave attention Mrs. Bliss gave him a viva cious account of how the festival of All Hallows Eve should be observed. All the time-worn charms were related and lastly the one which bids the ex pectant maiden walk fearfully around the house, with hair unbound and mir ror held in her hand, timidly hoping to see the shadowy face of her future husband peering over her shoulder and reflected in the glass. "That would give a chap a fair chance," observed the captain serious ly, when Mrs. Bliss had concluded. "Any fellow that really wanted a girl, you know, could arrange it so that he might peep over her shoulder just as it struck eight bells." "That wouldn't be playing fair," cried Kitty Gerrick. "You wouldn't be giving the fates their due." "Then there is hope for me," re plied Capt. Aymer, with mock solem nity, and as they laughed no one saw the lightning-like glance that he shot at their hostess. If they had seen it nobody would have wondered, for they did not know that Grace Gerrick and the handsome captain were old friends and would have been more than friends had not some misunderstand ing arisen between them. They had not met for years until recently, and the captain had joined the house party more as a distant relative of Tom Bliss than as a special friend of Miss Gerrick. Xot even the Blisses suspect ed a blighted romance between the two, although many wondered why two such handsome and altogether de lightful people should have remained unmarried. After dinner there was music in the drawing-room and the topic of Hal loween was not brought up again. As a long motor ride had been planned for the next day and an early start was essential, the company broke up short ly after midnight. Capt. Aymer went out on the veran da for a final cigar before going up to his room. The first quarter of the moon was rising above the distant mountain, and the broad path that en circled the house lay revealed. The captain was thinking somewhat bitter ly of what might have been if the fates had taken a kindlier hand in his af fairs, when suddenly there was enacted a little scene that wrung his heart so poignant was his memory of his first and only love. Kitty Gerrick was tiptoeing cautious ly around the house with her back to ward him, a silver hand-glass held be fore hep face, the- skirts of her ultra modern gown held above the dampness of the path- twentieth century assur ance and practical common sense hand in hand with ancient superstition. Coming softly behind her, taking her by surprise, was young Hazen. With a little sigh, he tossed away his cigar and Capt. Aymer stole into the house. The great hall was deserted and one dim candle burned on a distant table. Standing near the stairway, with her back toward him, was Grace Gerrick, adjusting a wave of her beautiful white hair before a looking glass that hung over a-table, Capt. Aymer hesitated one instant and then with several quick steps he stood behind her and their eyes met In the glass, and were held until Grace turned the full glory of her loving glance to him. "If I had only done this years before!" he sighed as their lips met. "It was my fault that you did not," she cried softly. "That is why I stood there and waited for you to come in I wanted you to have your chance!" Kitty Gerrick and her lover looked through the side lights of the front door and saw the two beautiful white heads so close together. Young Hazen's arm tightened about his sweetheart. "I shall never call it 'Jack o' Lan tern' night after this," breathed Kit ty softly, as they entered the house. (Copyright, 1911 by Associated Liter ary Press.) EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON. "In all that concerns eating and drink ing, company, climate and ways of life, community of taste is to be sought for. It would be trying, for instance, to keep bed and board with an early riser or a vegetarian. In matters of art and intel lect, I believe it is of no consequence. "For there are differences which no habit nor affection can reconcile, and the Bohemian must not intermarry with the Pharisee. Stevenson. "I think we are well suited to each other because we are such exact op posltes." So I heard a woman say of herself and her fiance. In answer to my query as to how they were opposites. she further explained that he was light haired and she dark, that he liked to read and she didn't, that she was fond of society and he was re served and quiet, that he liked cold weather and she warm, and several oth er similar differences that I cannot re call. As to the effect of the contrast be tween light and dark hair on their matri monial happiness It would be difficult to predict, but as to the effect of the other differences cited, I should think the most simple-minded could be an accurate prophet. That is, unless he were blinded by that most foolish and misunderstood of catch words "the attraction of opposites." I think that the notion that the more two people differ from each other, the more natural It is that they should love each other and be happy together, be cause of this law of attraction of op posites, is a popular fallacy tiiat does actual harm. Again and again I have heard people refer to differences in taste and attitude as likely to promote a happy match "It's the attraction of oposites, you know." If there is anything at all in "the at traction of opposites" it is, of course, in the attraction between opposites in tem perament. It may be that the phlegmatic and the highstrung, the even tempered and the impatient, the lover of action and tie conservative objection-raiser, the reserved and the chatterer, get along well togeth er, although it has always seemed to me that people of similar temperaments are quite as likely to understand and bear with each other. But that contrariety of tastes should ever be regarded as a desirable condition in the Siamese-twinship of marriage, would be unbelievable if it were not so. Similar tastes make similar Interests. And every interest which married folks share is one more tie between them, one more bond to counteract the rending power of selfishness and individual inter ests and the natural tendency of all souis towards isolation. Of course, you may point me out two people with widely diverging tastes who apparently have a happy married life. But I can show you a blind man who is a leader In his community. And you will not think that he attained that posi tion because of his blindness, will you? You will know that he has done what he has in spite of his handicap, not because of it. I firmly believe that any two people with widely diverging tastes and Interests are undertaking a mighty perilous voy age when they embark on the -seas of matrimony together. And I wish that that foolish catchword, "the attraction of opposites," could some how be stricken from the language for I believe that a misinterpretation of it has caused more young folks to be mistaken in regard to their fitness lor each other than we would like to reckon. GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe. A man with a kick doesn't often fail to register. Worrying won't pay your debts, or do any other useful chores. There isn't any immunity from trouble in a railroad ticket. People pay the delivers- drivers, all right, but they can't boss them. Some men don't seem to have much to do besides getting acquainted. A young man Isn't often so anxious to leave home as he Is to get back. Xo merchant ever carried a stock large enough to please some people. No man can demonstrate that he is a lion simply by roaring a good deal. Most of the prizes for correct orthog raphy aren't won by sign painters. While we are not always early to bed, an eclipse -of the moon isn't what is keep ing us up. Motorcycle racing is dangerous, but not as much so as a long suffering public could desire. Sometimes the authorities fear a lynch ing when they should be public spirited and favor it. A man who has a faculty for getting Into trouble is also likely to implicate his friends, if possible. One tiling we have learned about base ball is that it is never safe to yell in the first inning. It is natural for the victor to gloat a good deal, and if he doesn't, he is ac cused of it just the same. Too many people beileve they could get away with It If they should steal as much as a million dollars. Were you, if It's a fair question, ever acquainted with anyone, whose children were stolen by a gypsy? MY THE WAY BY HARVEY PARSONS. The trees are showing no signs of shame over their bare condition, un less a streak of yellow could be cou strucd as a blush. Halloween has degenerated into night of non-humorous cusaedness; it used to be the season for practical Jokes. In days past, the youth of a neighborhood did then and there get together and raise hob, and do seven days' hard work In three hours, u was -their playful custom to put a bossy-cow in the belfry of the school house, and a farm wagon astride thy ridgepole of tho highest burn in the township. But stunts of the sort re quire manual labor, and the modern youth is averse to manual labor. It is much easier to tear down a fence or a sign or set fire to an orphan J asylum. It is also a mutter of no par ticular physical effort to gat a tan of red paint and write vile words on the walls of a building. In fact, the real Halloween prank Is a relic of a past generation. How many of the half-baked yaps who go out to com mit depredations tonight would o! to plant a transfer wagon on top of the Edison smokestack? Xot one! A. stunt of the sort would require Effort. Instead they will tip over small bull l ings, tear up crossing plates, turn In a few false alarms for the fire de partment, smear a little paint and rob a few refrigerators. The lino between "pranks" and "vandalism" Is drawn at different points by different people. The stunt that amuses one victim will send an other hot-foot to the police station with a demand that the perpetrator be sent to the penitentiary for life or shot at sunrise. Sometime a victim demands blood as a compensation lor a little exercise. In years agone, as we remember it, a country youth went a-courting In his new cutter. Farm hand, piping the stylish turno.it, carefully removed the belt of slilt.-h-bells, drove the horse into a n.p warm barn, and then, starting from the point near the house where the horse had been tied, did a noisy mara thon down the road with the string of sleighbells. Country swain, derid ing at once that his horse had brok en away from anchorage and was run ning away, ran a mile and a half through the snow without his over shoes or overcoat. The farm hand could never understand why the country lover desired to murder him. His argument, to any one except the victim, seemed plausible. "I ran a dang-sight fu'ther than he did." ex plained the joker, "and besides, 1 was handicapped. 1 was carryln' the sleigh bells." The moral is that a garn victim is a rare bird. The prevailing impulse is to shoot 3 0 cents worth of bird shot into the boy who cause It tents worth of inconvenience.

She was entertained at the Myers home a year ago last winter while here at the Xov elty. At that time she was only 16 years old, very pretty and exceptional ly clever. She is the daughter of Mrs. J. Tt. Fagin. Mr. Fagin's home was former ly in Topeka. He went to Washington, D. C-. as a government clerk. A few months before the daughter was horn he was killed at the old Ford theater when the building collapsed about fourteen years ago. Mrs. Fagin's mother lives in To peka. Miss Claire's mother travels with her. Leander Richardson, one of the best known X'ew Y'ork critics, is the author of the following which appeared in the Xew York Review: "There was a young girl in this piece who carried off most of the hon ors, though she hadn't much voice to sing with. She was so very pretty, so exceptionally graceful, so winning in all respects that she caught hold of the spectators at the moment she en tered upon the scene and held them closer and closer until the finish. She is Ina Claire by name, and they tell me she was rather well known for her clever imitations when this role fell to her quite by accident.

TOPEKA GETS IN. Xew Traffic Bureau Asks for Lower Freight Rates. Acting in behalf of the Topeka Traf fic bureau, the utilities commission has filed its suit before the interstate commerce commission for lower freight rates for Topeka. In a long petition the advantages of Topeka are set forth and the unjust freight rates with which she must struggle in her effort to compete with Mississippi and Missouri river basing points. The claims and charges have been covered many times before in the past few years. By constant hammering it may be that the imaginary basing line of river towns located on rivers now no longer navigable will be wiped out Forty years ago steamboat traffic on the two big rivers won for the river towns a low freight rate. That river traffic is now only a memory for the oldest inhabitant, while the new towns west of the rivers have eclipsed the river tnwna in Ttrtnnl?stir. t' "t,n'm auu weaitll and still have to struggle with freight mies Lvnce as nign as tne old river towns enjoy.

Auditor Davis Says Logan County Can't Collect Money. State Auditor W. E. Davis wrote to day to the county clerk of Logan county to tell him that the county's claim against the state on compromise tax settlements in the sum of $1,5G' would not be allowed. A special bill passed by the last legislature gave the counties with short tax settlements in the way of compromise settlements on their hands until the last of this year to make their claims to the state. But the auditor recognizes only that law that requires of each county the state tax in full. He considers that county commissioners have no right to com promise on state tax. If that is done the county must make up the differ ence. "If county commissioners were al lowed to compromise state taxes." sa'd Mr. Davis today, "they might turn in two million for three millions of taxes, then the state board of equalization would be at sea on its levy. I do not believe tho law contemplates giving the county commissioners any powers in regard to the state tax levy. They can do as they think best on county levies, of courst. I will never O. K. the Logan county claim unless com pelled to do so by the court?. I un derstand that other countir-s have claims awaiting the Logan settlement." AUTOS AJIENACE Prof. Sprague Says They Tlireattn American Race. People Think More of Rags and Autemobiles Than Children. Boston, Mass., Oct. 31. Prof. Robt. J. Sprague of the Massachusetts Agri cultural college at Amherst, in looking over the last state census, figures out that the Yankee race is threatened with extinction- Jiugs and automobiles are blamed in part for the falling off of the birth rate. "We conceal our love making," the professor declares. "Romance should be frank and open; we make it mor bid. Many of our young men would be getting along better after five years if they asked their friends to find their wives, for the present basis of choice ia often blind infatuation. "A woman may work like a slave indoors, get indigestion, and have ner vous prostration, but must not exer cise in the open air lest she lose her social standing. This is race suicide, for the Almighty has declared that any race that endures must breath fresh air. Our trouble is not that we lovo children less but that we lovo oriental rugs and automobiles more." Prof. Sprague declares that factory regulations to compel better ventila tion and healthful conditions in gen eral are essential. "Get health vitality and earning power, he says, "and the race suicide will not be a pertinent question. "Celibacy is the first danger that threatens the modern family and the Anglo-Saxon race in the United States," continued the professor. "Celi bacy is unknown among savages and primitive people, almost unheard of among the Asiatics, rare among the Russians, but prominent in western Europe and America. "Modern civilization involving con centrated industrialism, extended edu cation, and delayed earning power on the part of the young man, are putting off marriage until it is sometimes giv en up entirely. The economic inde pendence of women and the physical comforts of bachelors make celibacy easy and pleasant. "The more complicated the develop ment of the individual, mentally, mor ally, esthetically, the more difficult it is to find a mate who will satisfy all desires where romantic love is the ba sis for marriage. PACIFIC NAVAL REVIEW. Western Fleet I Assembling Off San Pedro, C'al. San Diego, Oct. 31. "With two sub marines, the Grampus and the Pike, already steaming north to San Pedro and the other twenty-four ships of the Pacific fleet preparing to follow at 7 o'clock tonight, the mobilization and review of the great body of war ves sels now in western waters is ap proaching actuality. Rear Admiral Thomas plans that the vessels of the fleet here shall take practically the same formation as that planned for the official review tomor row. 1 It is expected the fleet will arrive off San Pedro shortly after midnight tonight. According to present plans, the fleet will be kept intact at San Pedro until the morning of November 3, when the disposal of the vessels to their regular stations will be begun. Admiral Thomas expects to return here with a good part of the fleet and to sail from this harbor for Honolulu about November 16. FAMOUS DRIVER DEAD Myron K. McIIcnry, YVlio Piloted Many Trotters, tione. Geneseo, 111., Oct. 31. Myron E. McHenry, for thirty years one of the best reinsmen of the trotting turf, is' dead here. Death was due to an im-j poverished condition of the blood. In the thirty years he was associ- ated with trotting over the different circuits there were only two drivers who might have been considered the equals of McHenry Dan Mace and Thomas W. Murphy. A quarter of a century ago the turf first began talking of McHenry. Pre vious to this time he had driven a' number of medium trotters in the mid dle west and had won his share of 1 races. He drove and won his first' race of importance at Galva, 111., and the event was not conducted on a reg ular track, the course being four times around the public square. From that day M3Henry thought of nothing but; horses and as soon as he had the chance to perform professionally he j maue goou in a iiunj. IT MAY END TODAY.

When the accused woman completed her day on tho witness stand recount ing details of the tragedy that ended, in the killing of young Garland, it was believed the trial was practically in ished, unless the prosecution attempt ed to spring a surprise in rebuttal, rue defense today will try to swear a num ber of character witnesses.

The state in the McXamara murder trial besan to day to guard against the doctrine of justification in the destruction of the Los Angeles Times building, with the accompanying loss of 21 lives. Assist ant District Attorney G. Ray Horton also resumed looking into possible So cialistic tendencies in the minds of prospective jurors to try James J. Mc N'amara for the murder of Charles J. Haggerty, one of the Times victims. '"Would you be willing to convict in a case Involving the death penalty On circumstantial evidence?" ha asked Frank Frakes, an Elizabeth Lake far mer. "Yes," said Frakes. "Are you a socialist?" "No." tt'NAMAFWS IN COURT-ROOMr-" "Have you any interest in the bo called movement?" "No." "Did it ever occur to you that the defendant had the right to take the law into his own hands?" "No." "Did you ever give the matter any particular thought?" "No." Frakes was passed for cause, mak ing eight talesman in all accepted. All are subject to peremptory challenge. He was succeeded by R. H. Fitzgerald, a young investigator for the defense, who testified that Talesman George "W. Johnson said to him in August that there was no question that the Tlme3 was blown up by labor unions. He was cross examined by Assistant Attorney W. Joseph Ford and said he had a list of names of persons he had seen. "May I see it?" asked Ford, and At torneys Clarence Darrow and Joseph Kcott for the defense, chorused pro test, declaring the question was put for the purpose of getting information to which it had no right. The question was withdrawn, and Fitzgerald wan excused after brief interrogation by th court.- The defense renewed its challenge against Johnson, which the state op posed, declaring that assuming "under charitable construction", that Fitzger ald testified truthfully, it was no evi dence that the talesman would not be fair and impartial. "The case is not one in which union labor ii being tried." said Ford. Challenge bv the defense was denied an exception was taken and allowed by the court. All of the talesmen went out in automobiles before court today, going from precinct to precinct together until the six who live in town had voted at the city primary ole ition. Talesmen in the box when court opened today were: Seaborn H. Man ning, farmer: Robert Bain, carpenter; IP. T. Green, orange grower; George "W. McKee, real estate dealer; A. C "Winter, builder and contractor; W. X. Krampton, farmer; Sam Mendenhall, orange grower, all passed for cause by both sides. George "W. Johnson, retired superin tendent of brass foundry, under exami nation by the defense: Frank Frakes. farmer, under examination. Thomas K. Preston, Ben F. Groves and Lorezo Romans, all to be examined. With but three veniremen left from the list of forty drawn Thursday, it was expected that members of the new venire, drawn yesterday, would begin appearing for examination either to day or tomorrow. The plan for draw ing small venires has been adopted by Judge Bordweil because, among other reasons, it reduces the length of time during which men are kept away from their business, and makes the work of Sheriff "William Ilammel in serving summonses much easier. TO MARE 1 SETTER TIME. More Rapid lTogress Is Expected in the McXamara Case. Los Angeles, Oct. 31. Court con vened in the McXamara murder trial today without visible reminder that the Los Angeles primary election was being held and that Job Harriman, one of the counsel for the defense was seeking the mayoralty nomination. Harriman was absent but it was said that he would remain in the case re gardless of the outcome of the primary and final election. Talesmen living in the city were taken out to vote. Harriman in his campaign has de nounced the city administration for voting and paying about $21,000 from a special fund placed at the present mayor's disposal for services of detec tives employed in the Times dynamit ing case before arrests were made, tut Vi S III: i I I 2 lbs.

V I f K 1 as these payments stopped when the McXamara brothers and Ortie McMan igan were arrested, it is conceded that Harriman' selection or defeat can make no difference in that respect. James B. McXamara, the defendant, came into court today with his four-in-hand black tie held in place by a tieholder bearing a small photograph of his older brother Joe who like James, is under 19 indictments for murder. James B. confides -each day to his brother his version of the trial and the older man who is furnished v ;th the daily transcript of evidence and who is an attorney interprets many angles to him. Less friction in qualifying prospective jurors was ex pected today than has existed hereto fore. "While neither the defense nor the state has receded from its position on points at issue, rulings by Judge "W-'ter Bordwell have cleared up many contested questions. The Johnson Interview. Fitzgerald produced the original memorandum which he said he made when interviewing Johnson. The state demanded to see the docu ment and cited a section in the code by which they claimed the right to look at it. "Oh, we'd let you see it without quoting the code." said Attorney Dar row of the defense, laughingly as he turned to District Attorney Fredericks with the remark: "We're fair, you McXAMARA BROTHERS IX COCRT.

Attorney Darrow continued the ex amination of Fitzgerald, eliciting the statement that while talking with Johnson he made the memorandum purporting to give Johnson's belief in the dynamite theory as well as his ideas predicting a war between capital and labor. W. Joseph Ford, assistant district attorney, examined Fitzgerald. "Did Johnson." asked Ford. "use the phraseology, 'unions quite obnoxious,' disconnectedly like that as you have it on your memorandum?" "We object to going into a man's literary deficiency," broke in Attorney Darrow. The court overruled the objection. "You overlook a big field," remark ed Attorney iicott of the defense. Fitzgerald answered that the phrases were Johnson's. To other questions he admitted not having written all the memorandum while interviewing Johnson, but parts of it within the fortnight afterward. JOHX SKATOX'S REMINISCENCES. Writes of Grant's First Battle and His Connection Therewith. John Seaton, who served many years In the legislature ana is one of the best known Republicans in Kansas, sends the following to the State Journal from h:3 home in Atchison: To the Kditor of the State Journal: Historical Reminiscence: On the 7th o November A. V. li!l, Oeneral U. S. Grant fought his first battle of the civil war; being the Battle of Belmont, Mo., on the banks of th Mississippi river, opposite Columbus, Ky. Inasmuch as the writer hereof was a factor in opening that bat tle on the skirmish fixing line: starting by the verbal instruction of the general lo me personally: "Captain, deploy your whole company," then turning to Lieu tenant Colonel Hart said. "Colonel, give the captain another company lor re serve;" then again addressing me with, "Captain, proceed and uncover the enemy." causes me to have an irresistible desire to again put my feet upon the same ground, on Tuesday the 7th of November, fifty years "past. I intend ffoing. Fifty years ago there were large bodies of insurgents with arms bent upon destroying the unity of the government. They were ashamed to be called insur gents but styled themselves "Confed erates." The words "Square Dealers" had no place in our language further than what pertained to the vocabulary of the gam ing table, but of late years has been made classic by the message of a presi dent. Then the word "Progressive" has become one of the active expressions with the other above mentioned as synonyms for "Republican." Bah! To what degen eracy the people take on in this day and generation? We have congressmen of Kansas who delight to be termed insur gents? Fifty years ago short shrift would have been made of them. All these cognomens are foreign to my pa triotism and to the Republican party that in 1S!1 I voluntered to sacrifice niy life for the saving of a Nation. In this writing, it seems to me to be proper to relate the fact that I have, framed in my dining room a special order that the adjutant of the Twenty-second regiment Illinois volunteer infantry read on dress parade, December 21. lvl, com mending me for executive ability and valuable assistance at the Battle of Bel mont.

Over One Hundred Thousand Dollars Last Month. SEAK MILLION MAKK. This Year Has Ben Busy One for Capital City. Story of Prosperity Told in Per mit Records. The month closing today has been a wonderful period for building opera tions in Topeka. Permits for the erection of buildings of all kinds and for the improvement -of structures al ready in existence aggregate $113,555, as against $57,509 for October, 1910. Then another remarkable feature in the building activity in the last month has been the unprecedented boom in home building unprecedented for this season of the year permits hav ing been issued for the erection of 36 dwellings at an aggregate cost of near ly $80,000, or an average expenditure of $2,150. The fall lift in respect to building has brought the total amount of per mtts for the year close to the $1,000, 000 mark, notwithstanding che fact that the number of large items in the list has not been as great in the past two years when permits were issued for such structures as the new Santa Fe office building, the G. A. R. Mem orial building and the new Mills build ing. The meaning of this is that the sea son closing has been a record breaker in respects to home building. In 1910, 312 houses were built. It is safe to say that this number will be exceeded in 1912. In the month of October the number of permits for dwellings issued was at the rate of 432 per year. In 1910 the permits for September and October totaled $97,249, which is $16,306 below the figures for October, 1911. The Items This Year. The largest item in the list for Oc tober is $15,000, and that was for the new cold storage room which is being built at 100-104 Jackson street for the Peoples' Ice and Cold Storage Co. An other item was for the remodeling of the building on the northeast corner of Tenth and Kansas avenues, belong ing to George Xoller. This work will cost $5,000. The most pretentious residence which the permits call for is that be ing built at 314 Greenwood avenue for W. H. Johnson. It will cost $5700. The least expensive place of abode in the list is to cost hut $4 0 it is an ad dition. Aside from the new dwellings that are being put up, 13 houses are being remodeled at a cost of $4,680, and five barns are in the course of construc tion costing $1,000. "You can't make me believe," said one realty man today, "that Topeka is not growing. "There are indications on every hand that marked progress is being made. Why, takes the shop district as an example. I'd judge that nearly 150 houses have been erected in this portion of the city in the last year or eighteen months, and as the 'for rent' signs are few and far be tween. it certainly looks as though there has been an influx of peopla. "And the building activity will be renewed with possibly greater vim next spring, to judge from the indications at Good Coffee For Sale Blend 7-9-11. .per lb. 30c .per lb. 35c per lb. 40c .per lb. 45c .per lb. 50c Blend No. 15.

Selection of Jurymen in Hyde Case Is Made Easier. Kansas City, Oct. 31. In an effort to expedite the selection of jurors In the Dr. B. Clarke Hyde murder trial, the state has decided not to insist upon the disqualification of veniremen solely because they are opposed to con victing on circumstantial evidence, it was announced today. One juror, who had such views, was passed late yes terday evening. This decision on the part of the state caused much surprise in the ranks of the defense. Practically all of the testimony offered against Dr. Hyde at the first trial was circumstan tial and the result is that many be lieve new evidence which will be used in this trial has been unearthed. Prosecutor Virgil Conkling refuses to discuss this phase of the case, how ever. Fourteen talesmen' have now been selected. Thirteen veniremen out of the panel drawn yesterday were ready for examination when court opened today and twenty-five more had been called. I. C. C. SUSPENDS RATES Delivers Another Blow at Tariffs Fixed by State Commissions. Washington, Oct. 31. The spirited commercial contest between the cities of New Orleans and Galveston, Texas, had another echo today when the in terstate commerce commission sus pended proposed tariffs filed by the southwestern lines, making advances in the freight rates on cotton and cot ton linters. The tariffs were to have become ef fective on November 5, but were sus pended until March 1, 1912, practical ly the end cf the cotton year. The action of the commission ac centuates the conflict of regulatory au thority which in numerous instances has arisen between the federal and state commissions. According to in formation received recently by the in terstate commerce commission a vig orous effort was being made to divert cotton export traffic originating at Tex as points from New Orleans to Galves ton.

One report said Mr. Johnson had gone to Cincinnati to confer with Au gust Herrmann in regard to an inves tigation of the sale of tickets. He was not at his office yesterday nor early today. The letter from Mr. Brush in reply to Mr. Johnson's statement that he knew incriminating facts in connection with the ticket sale had not reached the American league head, it was said.

An auto truck has superseded the old fashioned drays with which thieves were wont to haul away their loot of Chicago burglaries. A modern pair of burglars backed an automobile truck up to a building in the wholesale clothing district early to day and while the watchman passed them repeatedly vidited the seventh floor and carried down silks valued at $1,500. Chatting pleasantly with the police man on the beat, the driver of the auto said the company was going to make deliveries at a suburb, which account ed for the early start.

There was rain in tti3 drouth region of -Australia.- The ldea that maximum receipts had been reached in the American northwest did not seem to be verified by today's liberal figures. The opening was Vac to c lower. De cember started at 9S('98c to 98c, a loss of c to 14C, and fell to 98V4c. Selling on stop loss orders sent prices later into a sharp decline. The close was weak with December 96c, a net loss of 2c. CORN Corn became easy owing to prospects of fair and colder weather. Selling pressure was light, however, and the market was steadied by reports of a good eastern demand for old yellow grades. December opened c to c down HOLDS UP THE NEWS County Clerk Zimmerman Acts Czar to Salve Personal Grievance. For the third time since Saturday morning, County Clerk Zimmerman today refused to give the State Jour nal information concerning the 1911 tax assessments; and making open statements to other county officials that he would hold this information for the morning paper. This informa tion is public property and came into Mr. Zimmerman's possession by virtue of his election to the county clerkship; and was withheld from the State Journal in Mr. Zimmerman's zeal to salvo a personal grievance. Each year Just before the payment of the December taxes, certain infor mation of general news nature comes into the possession of the county clerk and later reaches the treasurer s ol fice. This news has to deal with the tax rolls and is of interest to every tax payer in the county. Anticipating the issuance of these statements, the State Journal called on the county clerk Saturday morning for news mat ter and was informed that nothing was to be given from the office that day. After the Saturday evening State Journal had gone to press. Mr. Zim merman gave to the morning paper certain news surrounding the tax col lection that he had withheld from the evening publication. This informa tion was not Mr. Zimmerman's per sonal property, but belonged to the tax payers and no public official had a right to select the paper in which it would be published. Again Monday morning the State Journal asked for news and received a persona! statement from Mr. Zimmer man that he had no news in his pos session. Date yesterday afternoon he gave certain tax news to the morning paper that was earlier suppressed from publication in this paper. This morning the State journal asked for the third tax story and from Mr. Zimmerman's own lips came the reply that he had no news to report. Less than an hour before the State Journal made its third request for news. Mr. Zimmerman had visited cer tain offices in the court house, where he gloated over his ability to suppress news in his office at the expense of the evening paper. Here he made pub lic his ability to use the prestige of his office to report news matter to which ever paper was of his own choosing. Yet there has been a reason for this action. At various times Mr. Zimmer man has objected to representatives of the State Journal placed on the court house run. He has often com plained of alleged unfair treatment at tho hands of reporters and in his giv ing of news items has always been careful to point out to the Individual reporter the places where he could re flect personal credit on Mr. Zimmer man. Recently the State Journal printed certain facts and figures surrounding the making of the 1911 tax levy. TV-" story did not please Mr. Zimmerman personally and since that time he han used his official position to defeat the State Journal in obtaining news stories that came to his attention. MOVES UP A DAY. Big Naval Parade AVttl Take Place Ahead of Original Date. New York, Oct. 31. Soap and metal pol ish odors hung over the warships anchor ed In the lower Hudson today. Tomorrow the ships will pass under the eye of Secretary of the Navy Meyer and on the following day President Taft will review the greatest naval display ever witnessed in these waters. In the original program this was the day scheduled for the review by Secretary Meyer which was to conclude the naval display. The unexpected com ing of President Taft on Thursday has moved the whole program forward one dav and probably has been the means of adding to tomorrow's display the newest of the battleships, the Florida. The work of the new dreadnaught has been pushed ever since the date for the review was fixed. Work on the comple tion of the Florida was still In progress today but after the test she received yes terday her officers were confident that she could take care of herself hereafter even though several portions of her ma chinery remain untested. Secretary Meyer is in town. Naval men here say that Admiral Dewey's decision not to at tend the demonstration was prompted mainly by his desire not to embarrass Rear Admiral Onterhaus, commander of the fleet, whom he outranks. His Campaign "Broke" Him. Norfolk, Neb., Oct. 31. An Investi gation of the bankrupt estate of P. E. McKillip discloses the fact that in his campaign for congress in the Third congressional district in 1904 against J. J. McCarthy, he gave checks for campaign purposes amounting to J26, 057.29 and spent, in addition to the amount represented by the checks, the sum of $12,000, making a total ex penditure in that campaign of $3 8, 057.29. This use of funds is alleged to have contributed largely to McKillip's financial downfall. Just to remind you. it's time to sot out bulbs. None better than Zimmerman's.

Kansan Laavts When Wife Re fuses to Repair Trousers. Now She's Dead and He Is Going Back to Daughter. Kansas City, Oct. 31. One morning fifteen years ago Cornelius Schroder tore a hole in his trousers while chop ping down a tree. He lived with his wife and seven children at Inman, Kan. He asked his wife and four daughters to mend the torn places, but they re fused, and his vife threw the tattered trousers on tle floor and stamped on them. "If you want them mended, do it yourself," Schroder says his wife told him. "I mended them, but I was so mad that I left home and told them that I would never return until they apolo gized to me for the harsh treatment," Schroder said. "I have never heard from any of them until Saturday, when I saw an article saying that one of my daughters, Mrs. Lizzie Austin of Gage, Ok., was looking for me and wanted me to come home. She said she was sorry about the part she took In the quarrel, and now I am going back to her." How the Daughter Found Him. Schroder came to Kansas City, Kan., after leaving his home and started a she j repair shop. He has made his home in a room in the rear of the lit tle shop He was arrested last winter while fighting with another man at the Helping Hand Institute in this city and sent to the workhouse thirty days. He repaired shoes while in jail and his work was so well done that he was offered the job of repairing shoes for the prisoners, but refused to accept it. The account of his arrest was printed and was read by his daughter, who now lives on a farm near Gage, Ok. She wrote to H. T. Zimmer, chief of police in Kansas City, Kan., and asked him to find her father. She inclosed a letter for Schroder in which she apologized for her part in the quarrel and offered to send him a railroad ticket to Gage, Ok., if he would come and live with her. Schroder couldn't be found In the workhouse of either city. Hesitated to Go Back. The letter from Schroder's daughter was printed. Schroder went to police ROSE Bath! r .1 S: 'j RRFRFctMf ivir: 0 Grocers Everywhere It 1 6 I 629-631 Kansas Avenue. headquarters and was given the letter from his daughter. "I don't know whether I will go back," he said at first. "I will have to think about it." He sat a moment in thg police sta tion looking at the letter, then he told Robert O'Donnell, captain, that he could write to Mrs. Austin and ask for the ticket. "When I left home Lizzie was just a little girl," Schroder told a caller at his shoe shop. "She says she has three children and is living on a farm, but I would like to see my little girl. You write and tell her to hurry and send that ticket. Lizzie was the worst one of the girls, but I always liked her better than any of the rest. She was just like me in so many ways that I couldn't help but love her more than any of the rest." Schroder is 73 years old. His wife died several years ago. STUBOS IS BACK. Governor Delighted With Observations at Wisconsin University. Governor Stubbs has returned from three days spent in Maoison, Wis., witn the regents of the Kansas university in a visit of inspection of the Wiscon sin university. He found the big school up to all tb.3 advance notices. He thought the trip had been most profit able and enjoyable to the Kansas partv. "I found," he said, "that the Wis consin university is the dominant fac tor in the business, social and political life of that great state. The school not only keeps in personal touch with a larze number of people the year 'round, but it has established corres pondence schools over the state an 3 exchanges thousands of letters every month with the people on every sub ject under the sun. In all legislative matters I found that the university con ducted a scientific research into every matter in which legislators were intei ested. "As regard board of health work such as pure food and pure water sup ply ana diseases, i louna that the Kan sas school is ahead of the Wisconsin institution in its co-operation with th-; board of healt.'i. "The regents and myself return de lighted with our trip.

With the sev entieth milestone of his life Just pass ed, S. S. Yoder, former member of con gress, and for 25 years a resident of the District. has sent a "birthday prayer" to his friends, asking them to join with him in his determination to live for a century. The prayer is written in verse. It begins: Threescore years and ten are with me now In heart, in mind, in head and wrinkled brow. Then is a brief description of the puny power of man and his helpless ness. Nevertheless. Mr. Yoder is opti mistic concerning himself. He says: So please, O Lord, make a miracle of me. And let me live a full round century. During his quarter century residence in this city Mr. Yoder has taken an active part in public life here. He was at one time vice president of the As sociated Charities. Left an orphan at the age of eight years, Mr. Yoder work ed his way through college, studied medicine, then law, and was finally sent to congress three times from the Fourth Ohio district. His friends declare that if he sti:kJ to his determination he will unques tionably live 100 years. He is residing now at 204 Maryland avenue northeast where he will remain until 1921.

That those who live in glass houses should not throw stones is the senti ment of the North side ministers and business men regarding Dr. D. M. Fisk's sermon at the First Congrega tional church Sunday morning. As was printed in the State Journal Monday afternoon, Dr. Fisk said that "Nothing in the world will save Topeka not even the women unless there is great cam paign launched with the object of lift ing up the lives of the people of the shop district and North Topeka." He also stated that "Jesus is needed in North Topeka." The North side people say that while more Christianity may be needed in their district the want of it is not greater here than in other parts of the city in proportion to the population of the respective parts. It is also felt that Dr. Fisk's idea for the South side churchei. to help out the churches on the North side and in other suburbs of the city and many would be per fectly willing for such a course. Questions as to the matter were ask ed a representative number of minis ters and business men. Time did not permit a studied answer, but the re plies were up to the point. Many busi ness men expressed themselves but for several reasons requested that their names be withheld. J. C. Snediker, of the Austin-Snediker Mercantile company, said: "Undoubt edly Dr. Fisk is partly true, but any way people living on the North sido are not throwing stones at glass houses, while some South side people living in glass houses are." W. A. Forbes, of Forbes Bros., grain merchants, a prominent member of th.3 North Side Baptist church, said: "I think that there are jutt as good peo ple in North Topeka as in any other part of Topeka, in proportion to its population." Rev. J. W. Waldron, pastor of the Kansas Avenue Methodist church, said: "I think that the people of the North side are just as spiritually advanced as in any other part of Topeka, ift tho observance of the golden rule is any indication. I find that there are just as loyal and devoted Christian people here as in any place where I have lived." "Yes, we need uplift we need it ev erywhere," said Albert P. Mack, cate chist of the Church of the Good Shep herd. "I am not sure just what Dr. Fis meant." said Rev. W. I. Cole, pasUr of tue Ni rth Side Baptist cnurcn. "However, in proportion to the popula tion, the North side has just as good people and does not need an uplift any more than other parts oZ To- Tctr3 "Politically; tho North side may need an uplift," said Kev. w. rf the Second Presbyterian church. "However, tne average of Christianity over here is just as nii, 1 as in other parts of the city." "Offhand I am scarcely prepared tc answer Dr. Fisk." said Rev. David H. Lyons, pastor of the Centra! Avenue Christian church. "However, I think f.is remarks apply equally to the South side." W. A. Seotten aid: "Dr. Fisk made a rash statement. "I agree with Mr. Seotten," said C. F. Bridge, his partner.' A correspondent writes regarding get ting fashionable hats and clotbes tor wo men. Replying it might be said that the first thing needed is money. Credit is fickle Of course women generally scold their 'husbands about not making more money for them to spend, but tne hus bands should not mind that. They are not all used to making a quarter last u month, and often invest an extra dime in bargains at a store. Do not ask her to keep account of such details. Remember she is not used to finance on such a large scale and the handling of so much money dazzles and confuses hen. Sometimes also they get the big head after wearing the large hats prevalent now, as nature has a tendency to make a person grow into his environment. Treat her gently and firmly, but let her understand that just because there are check blanks left in the bank there is not always as many dollars credited to your account. Not long ago a man wrote to this de partment that his wife broke into the children's bank to get moving picture show money. He felt so hurt that lie nearlv went back to his mother. How ever, "if he had bought a sack of candy for her occasionally she would not have likely done so. And do not regret the extra expense for feather boas or feathers on hats. ..e member that a well appearing wife for shadows a broad-minded and prosperous husband and that feathers naturally give her a "chic" effect which is so admired b" This advice is the result of much, read ing and study not experience.
