Killed by Manchu Soldiers While Asleep in Tent. A BENEDICT A UN OLD. Accused of Secretly Betraying the Imperial. st Cause. Eepert of the Fall of Peking Is Denied. Peking, Nov. 7. General W, a nn MMnT v.iuntr ni;ni.iJ e,.... V.SLB recently appointed governor of; Shan-Si province, was assassinated at i 1 o'clock this morning. He was as!, .-p j In his tent at the military encampment at Shikia-Chuar.g. when 30 Manchus rushed in past the guard and murdered him. When otli.-ers of the general's; staff the .Manchus. the latter 1 Elated that Wu had gone over to the revolutionists and was secretly betray-: lrg the Manchus. General Wu was, educated in Japan and had risen rap-j lcllv smce his return to China. He, was liberal in his views and was al- V ays credited with sympathy with re-; form movements, although he was not an extremist. I The general, whose fall name was TV,, To.cheng reported to the gov ernment a few days ago tha he ct uld persuade tne micii-m reoeis i" the constitution outlined by the na tional assembly, but at that time a; suspicion was current that the gen- j eral himself was a revolutionist. His, attitude has since be. n a matter oft some concern to the Manchus. lie is a native of Hn-Peh province, and in April. 1910, was made deputy Iliutenant general of the Bordered; Red Mongol Ha nner. 1 Fall of Peking Is Denied, j Peking. Nov. T. Reports that thisi citv has fallen into the hands of the i r lut'.ouists are without foundation. Th. r- has been no fighting wnaisoewi nd there is no evidence that tne emperor or th" regent nave mo. Prince Ching continues to act as pre mier 1. ending the arrival of Yuan Shi Kai. Nor is there any indication that 1 e king is endangered. Foreigners in the various legations think it will lie the last of the important cities to go. The presence of many Mancliu princes in dicates their belief that Peking is the safest place :n the empire. The m-1 Ferial government has concentrated j liere ail the most loyal and faithful; troops in trie army and has craftily I sent al! the doubtful regiments to far, distant points. The ir.pf ror's persona! guard is an firmy division numbering la.oOO men. all Manchus. A number of the ofli- cers of the Chinese first division are; likewise Manchus and the city police are for the most part members of the Fame race. As far as the old tyle troop? that camp outside the city walls, they are Chinese, but are of a type which is known by the Mancliu title f "1'ar nermen." because their ances tors aided the 31:mcnu conquerors gainst their own peop'e. There is no question as to tne loyalty 01 mese troops. The population of the citv is without arms and- therefore unable to effect anv serious uprising. There are no disaffected troops wphin immediate I striking distance of the capital. In j rase ot emergency, the Mar.r hu leaoers and the court will probably seek refuge 'n the legation quarter her- or in the foreign settlement at Tien-Tsin. Wn Tin!-' rims Joins Iteliels. Shang-iai. Nov. 7. Dr. Wu Ting Fang at one time Chinese minister to th Vnited States, in a statement made to the Associated Press today announces he lias joined the movement to estab lish a republican government in China. The C apital Is Nervous. Peking. Nov. 7-6:42 P. M. Garrison ed and policed by loyal troops, the capital remained tonight undisturbed by the rebels. The general feeihig of nervousness, however, was betrayed when a tire broke out in e quart-. s occupied by the ho. i'd of ceremonies.

Final Count Shows a Majority of 758 Vetes. Augusta, Me., Nov. 7. Maine retain? constitutional prohibition. Governor Plaisted and his council decided to ac cept the corrections in the vote of four towns, cast in the special election in September, thus reversing the result aa indicated on the face of the first offi cial returns. Returns on election day, September 11. indicated a majority of about 400 against the repeal of the prohibitory amendment, but later the official count showed a majority of 26 for repeal. It was found by comparsion, how ever, that in four cases the figures of the town clerks were reversed from their early returns and in each case the cierks claimed the error to be in the official figures. After hearings on the subject, the governor and council took the matter under consideration and the re-sult was the announcement last night that Maine retained consti tutional prohibition by 7f8 votes. Governor Plaisted, at tha end of the meeting, said that at an early date, probably in February, he would c-all a special session of the legislature to "submit an amendment to the consti tution which will permit the. enactment of laws concerning; the liquor traffic which are capable of honest enforce ment because sustained by the senti ment of the several communities .0 which they will be applied." An analysis of the vote, the governor declared, showed an overwhelming ma jority against prohibition in the cities and a large majority ior it towns. the GOV. STUBBS' GUESS. Savs Result in the Second Will He Close. District Governor Stubbs came back to To peka this morning from the Second district, where he spent yesterday and last night in a whirlwind finish in the effort to elect T". S Guyer to the Mitchell seat in congress. The gov ernor left at 1:30 this afternoon for his home in Lawrence in order to vote at the special election in his home district, the Second. The governor was hopeful of Guy er's election, but expects a close vote. He thought that a heavy vote would insure the success of the Republican candidate. The governor has made many speeches in the Second district in the interest of the Republican candidate. Some six or eight state officials and appointees have campaigned in the district the past two weeks, making manv speeches in Wyandotte county, the real battle ground of the special election. Poth Taggart, the Demo cratic candidate, and Guyer, the Re publican, live in Wyandotte, and have j won political victories there. The gen- eral opinion is mat ine election win be very close. The Republicans are fighting Guyer and the Democrats are not united on Taggart. GERICKE GETS THE CUP. Winner of International Balloon Kace Receives the Trophy. New York, Nov. 7. Lieutenant Hans Gerirke. winner of the recent in ternational balloon race at Kansas City has received the international cup at the Aero Club of America. Cort landt F. I'.ishop. acting president of the club, presented the trophy with a few remarks that the Americans were good losers and Lieutenant Gericke responded as the representative of the Deuteher Luftschifer Verband. the Na tional Aeronautic Club of Germany. Lieutenant Gericke said he hoped that another race would be held and ex pressed opposition to the German pro posal that the largest of balloons be eliminated from the race in the future. LET OUT 9:0 EMPLOYEES l-ieago Clothing; Manufacturers Again in Trouble With Their Help. Chicago, Nov. 7. Nine hundred em ployees of Hart. Schaffner Marx, dis charged yesterday after a dispute over working conditions, today began plans for arbitration of the difficulties. The move came as an echo to the great garment strike of a year ago, when 35. 'JOu laborers were involved. Some of the more radical leaders profess to see signs of another strike as an interrup tion of the present season, when the shops are working at their maximum capacity. TAFT IS RIGHT ABOUT ST Committee Savs Panama Canal Will Be Opeiv-1 in 1913. New- Y"ork, Nov. 7. All but two mem bers of the congressional committee that went to the Isthmus of Panama last month returned today satisfied that Pres ident Tuffs prediction would be fulfilled and the canal finished and open for busi ness by IftlJ. The party included Senators Rrandegee of Connecticut, chairman of the Inter oceanic canals committee; Rristow of Kansas; Cummins of Iowa: Page of Ver mont, and Overman of North Carolina, and Representative Higgins of Connecticut. TO OPENJJP CHINA Plans and Hopes of the New Chinese Government Are Outlined by Wu Ting Fang, Foreign Minister. TO ABIDE BY TREATIES And Pay All Obligatlonsjlncur red by the Monarchy. He Yields to Popular Sentiment Flavoring a Republic. Shanghai, Nov. 7. Dr. Wu Ting Fang, who has been chosen director of foreign affairs in the reform govern ment established by the revolutionists in the province of Kiang-Su, today gave a statement to the Associated Press in which he announced his ad herence to the movement designed to establish a republican form of govern ment in China. Dr. Wu Ting Fang has twice occu pned the office of Chinese minister to the United States, in which he became widely known. He was first sent to Washington in 1897. remaining there until 1902, when he was recalled. He returned to the same post in 1907 and was again recalled in 1909. For a time he appeared to have been relegated permanently to private life, but in August, 1910. he was made councillor of the Chinese foreign of fice. His advanced ideas have not al ways harmonized with the imperial policy, and it has been no secret that recently he has not wholly sympa thized with the throne. He is the most important figure that has appeared on the revolutionary stage during the last few years. Ru mors that he had espoused the rebel cause was received with incredulity. When the revolutionists proclaimed a provisional government at Shanghai he was made head of the foreign bu reau, but the appointment was not taken seriously, and as late as yester day he declined to acknowledge any participation in the revolutionary ad ministration. Hi3 attitude as formally announced today is expected to have a far-reaching influence. Outlines the Plans. At hia residence within the foreign settlement of Shanghai, Dr. Wu out lined the plans and hopes of the re formers in China. We TKung Yao, formerly imperial resident at L'Hassa Tibet, who has been appointed assist ant director of foreign affairs in the new government, was present when the statement was made. Dr. Wu said that while he was loath to accept oflic" and hesitated because of his former close connection with the Manchu gov ernment, he was now practically forced to aid the cause of China. He an nounced that Cheng Te-Chuan, the governor at Soo Chow and formerly governor at Mukden, who was the first governor to come over to the reform ers, had been elected governor of the entire province of Kiang Su. Cheng Te Chuan, he said, was a strong man and would be able to con trol the revolutionists and guarantee order and the safety of foreigners. Ninety per cent of the population, he said, was supporting the present status. Dr. Wu continued: "Personally. I favored a limited monarchy, retaining the emperor as a figurehead, with a strong Chinese cab inet and constitution, hut the prevail ing sentiment appears to favor a re public. "In each province a governor will be selected, each city and town giving its allegiance to the new government. The whole people of China, north and south, are united against Manchu Su premacy and the government at Peking, which is corrupt and prone to be oppressive. T admit there are tremen.ious oitn culties before us but we must win. We guarantee an adherence to foreign treaties whether they were made un fairly or fairly. We will pay our obli gations to foreign nations "and open up all the ports of China to foreign trade. Thus will be guaranteed an enormous advantage to all foreigners as well as to China." Dr. Wu said that he fully under stood the reform movement might lead in any direction, even to an archy; but all the people of China were now prepared to show the world the real power of the Chinese for or derly conduct, self restraint and loyal ty to a fair and honest government. A'iceroy Commits Suicide. Nanking, Nov. 7, 11 p. m. The viceroy at Nanking committed suicide tonight. The situation is serious. The viceroy's instructions from Peking had ordered him not to resist the revolutionists by force but to peace fully surrender. The Tartar general commanding the Manchu troops refused to obey the orders. A condition of panic prevails. Figlilliig Renewed at Hankow. San Francisco, Nov. 7. Fighting has begun again at Hankow, according to a dispatch received here today by the Chinese Free Press. A large body of revolutionary troops is said to have arrived from Hunan to aid the republi can army which has been in conflict with the imperialists. The imperial command is said not to have been rev inforced by soldiers from the north, rs the loyalists at Hankow had hoped. This was due to the policy of Yuan Shi Kan, the new premier, who asked the government to suspend negotia tions with the rebels. The independent republic established in the Quong Si province is reputed to be prospering. The Young China publishes a dis patch from Shanghai today to the ef fect that the name of the new republic has been changed from Chung Hwa to Sin Hon. Chung Hwa literally means "the middle flowery country." Sin Hon is freely translated as "new China," the word Hon being the name of the Chinese dynasty ruling at what is regarded as the most glorious period of Chinese history before the advent of the conquering Manchus. Must Await Republic. London. Nov. 7. The Times' Peking correspondent, discussing the situa tion there, says today: "Should the revolutionary leaders consent to the retention of the dynas ty, the situation will be simplified, but if the extreme views prevail, and Ynan Shi Kai presses for a republic, China will be involved in inextricable difficulties?. "Fortunately, the throne recognizes that the immense extension of the revolutionary movement in the prov inces renders' impossible any hope of Its suppression by force. Yuan will await his election by the national as sembly before returning to Peking." Chinese Red Cross. Toklo, Nov. 7. Fifty Chinese medi cal students here have organized a Red Cross corps to serve among both the government and the revolutionary forces. They will start for home Thursday. A fund to defray expenses will he raised bv the local Chinese colony. SHELL THE TOWN. A Italian Cruiser Kombards Akadah, in Arabia After Sinking a Gunbat That Lay in Port. Constantinople, Nov. 7. An Italian cruiser bombarded the town of Akadah (Arabia) on Sunday sinking the Turk ish gunboat Italidj, which was lying in port. The second officer of the gun boat was killed, but the others on board escaped. Subsequently the cruiser shelled the hilly portion of the town. The extent of the damage is not stated. Weather Indications. Chicago, Nov. 7. Forecast for Kansas: Fair tonight and Wednesday. Rising temperature. PEACE OR PIECES. TRY PENSION PLAN Armour Co. Set Aside a Million Dollars for Employees. Kctir All at 65 Who Have Serv ed 20 lears. INSURANCE FEATURE. Will lp.ply to All Who Work for Company. Provision f jr Women as Wll as the Men. Kansas City, Nov. 7. An old age pension system has been installed by Armour Co. for its employees. Offi cials worked on plans for more than a year before one which became effec tive November 1 was decided on as suitable. As a foundation for the pen sion fund, which is to be maintained by the employees, J. Ogden Armour, president of the company, gave $1, 000,000. The announcement was made in Chicago yesterday. Employees of every class are en titled to the benefits of the system. Any person who has served 20 years, on reaching the age of 57 years, may on application to the board of trus tees, at its discretion, be retired on an annuity. At 60 those who have served 20 years may demand retirement, and at 6 5 all employees who have served 2 0 years will be retired. The plan also has insurance features. Employees pay into the fund 3 per cent of their salaries each year. On retirement the employees receive 2 per cent of the salary paid them at the time of retirement for each year of service. A man who has been in the employ of the company 25 years thus v. Ill receive annually 50 per cent of his salary at the time of his retirement. No distinction is made between men and women employees, except that women may be retired when they are 50 years old if they have been in the service of the company 20 years. Em ployees who have been with the com pany 15 years or more, even though they are less than 5 7 years old, if they are incapacitated through sickness or injury, may be pensioned at the discre tion of the board of trustees. Pay for Widows. Upon the death of an employee who has been i'-h the company more than fifteen years there Is to be paid to the widow, or t 'he children less than IS years old if there is no widow, per cent of the salary of the husband for each year of sei -e. If he has not completed fifteen years of service all the money that the employee may hrvo raid into the pension fund durinr bis life is returned to the widow or to his children less than IS years old with in terest. If an employee dies after hav ing served twenty years or more tb widow or his children receive one-half the pension to which he would have been entitled. If a woman employee marries any time within the twenty years of serv ice the money paid by her into the fund is returned at the time of her marriage. Also if any employee re signs before reaching the retirement age the money which he paid into the fund is returned. The management of the pension plan and fund Is In a board of trustees com posed of A. Watson Armour, Alfred R. Prion and Frederick W. Croil. The million dollars given by Mr. Armour is only the foundation of what In time wili probably be a much larger sum. onneTaTay. Is Reins: Exhausted in Trying to Secure a Hyde Jury. Kansas City, Nov. 7. The Hyde mur der trial dragged into its fifteenth day today with but 25 of the 47 require! t talesmen accepted. A new panel of 40 veniremen reported for examination to day making more than 600 names that have been drawn out of the jury wheel but service has not been obtained on all of them.

Released This Afternoon on a Supreme Court Order. Shortly before noon today. John -J. Cooper, Topeka's champion heart breaker, walked to the county jail building and surrendered himself to the county authorities; rnd today for the first time in his life, ate a meal be hind prison bars. "I'll soon be out of here," Cooper de clared confidently to a visitor at the jail building; and the old reassuring smile that entered in the heart con quests of former days, spread over the old man's face. He was not disap pointed; and if defeated, was too game to admit it. The old spirit of light that has characterized Cooper's legal battles In the days of old, still was s i preme, even though his latest compli cation had landed him behind the bars in company with common criminals. Cooper evidently knew what he was talking about for at noon Chief Justice Johnston, of the supreme court, grant ed a writ of habeas corpus releasing Caoper from jail. He was released on bond of $1,000 and has until November 18 to tell the supreme court why he. disobeyed the mandate of the district court. He was released this afternoon. Thsre was no parlor suite awaiting Cooper when the big Iron door at the county prison swung open to welcome the new guest. Cooper vlewe.1 his fli. proof surroundings with calm com placence and offered no regrets nor apologies. He had no comments to make as to the iron fi.xr, the steel ceilings or the heavy iron bars that made secure bis surroundings. Out at Cooper's mansion. S24 Jackson street there are two pianos in the par Jo. There Cooper may hang his hit on the library table and rest his feet, on the upholstered furniture. Then were none of these in the new home Into which Cooper walked today. "But it won't last long." Cooper was saying. "It won't last long. My law yers will soon get me out of this. Just wait and see." And then Cooper leaned bark against the Iron grating of the stuffy little cell and wiped at the bald spot o his head wdth a big, red bandana handkerchief Then he closed his pair of rather tin d grey eyes and probably dreamed of the loves of long, long ago; when it wa.-n" customary for the ardent heart smasher to gc to jail for his indiscretion. WON'T LET HIM GO. Rielieson's Congregation Refuses to Accept His Resignation. Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 7. While women cried and pleaded that nothing should be done to appear in any way prejudicial to his interests, members of the Immanuel Baptist church so ciety voted not to accept at this time the resignation of Rev. Clarence V. T. Kicheson. pastor of the church, now in jail on the charge of murdering Avis Linnell. They decided to lay the matter on the table until November 24. Women predominated In the attend ance and. for the most part, supported the pastor. Jlan" were crying and some of the men shed tears as the controversy waxed warm. When a ballot was taken after two hours of discussion. 30 voted against acceptance and 15 for. Weather Continues I'leasant.

Keller, Republican, considerable interest has been aroused over the selection of three delegates to the constitutional, conven tlon to be held In January. First Full Vote in New Mexico. Santa Fe, N. M., Nov. 7. With near ly a thousand candidates of all sorts to be elected today the early vote in New Mexico's first full election was heavy. While the usual claims of certain victory were made by partisans, ira partial students- of the situation de clared that the outcome could not be forecast because of the multiplicity of candidates on state, county and judi cial tickets, the injection of the race issue, and the numerous state and na tional issues involved. While New Mexico is normally Re publican by five thousand out of a fifty thousand vote, the defection of the socalled progressive Republicans and the stand of the prohibitionists against the regular Republican candi dates thickens the clouds of uncertain ty. There is in addition the "blue bal lot" which is to decided whether the constitution is to be more easily amended. Managers for W. C. McDonald, Democrat, for governor, and his Re publican opponent. H. O. Bursum, professed satisfaction over the early vote. Two congressmen are to be chosen, and the legislature will be call ed upon to chcose two United States senators. Full State Ticket in Maryland. Baltimore, Nov. 7. A full state ticket, one-half the senate membership and all the members of the lower branch of the legislature are being Voted for in Maryland today. In ad dition many of the countries are elect ing county officers and there also is a constitutional amendment designed to disfranchise the negro being voted on. Owing to the great length of the bal lot the returns are expected to be late. One Candidate Overlooked. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 7. Both the Re publican and Democratic parties in Lancaster county overlooked the nom ination of a candidate for the office of representative to the state legislature to be voted on at the election today. Representative A. J. Minor of this county died last winter and Governor Aldrich named this office in his procla mation as one to be filled with today's election. Neither party provided a space on the primary ballot or named a candidate in any other manner and the official ballot contains no space in which the name of a candidate may be written. Hot Fipht in PliiladelplUa. Philadelphia, Nov. 7. Indications in the morning hours today were that an unprecedented vote would be polled for the mayoralty candidates.

Indications at noon today were that the vote in both the San Francisco and Sacramento municipal elections would be unusuallv heavy. The weather is perfect in both cities. Supporters of the union labor can didates in San Francisco have been caused some concern by the fact that the vote has been somewhat lighter in the working men's neighborhoods than in some of the other districts.

The early voting in Boston was light. The Democrat man agers had no carriages and automobiles to get out the vote. The Republicans, however, fearing apathy on the part of their supporters were well equipped with conveyances. The early vote in the 33 cities wis unusually heavy for an off year. Vot ing in Boston was generally heavy, es pecially in the Democratic districts where there were stiff contests for the house and senate. Party Lines Lost Sight Or. Columbus, O.. Nov. 7.

The President Insists on Being Regis tered a sa Lawyer. Cincinnati, Nov. 7. President Taft qualified yesterday as a voter in Cin cinnati. He appeared personally before the Cincinnati election board find later before the election judges in his own precinct and went through the steps required by law to insure his casting a t ballot. "I'm goirg to vote early; you know early voting is the right way," said the president. The president announced his inten tion of voting the Republican ticket. There has beer; criticism of tills an nouncement here on the score that n so voting Mr. Taft will support the candidates of the so-called "boss." Geo. B. Cox, about whom he spoke so bit terly at Akron, O., when he was secre tary of war. The president refused to discuss his announcement, saying mere ly that he knew the Republican candi dates and was convinced of their worth iness. In voting the president probably will cast the first ballot of any president of the United States for a woman who is seeking office. He will vote for Miss Edith Campbell, candidate for member at large of the local school board. "I expect to vote for Miss Campbell," li v7'0& 1 Fowler, said the president, "because I think there should be women representatives on the school board and I know Miss Campbell's ability and qualifications." Mr. Taft arrived in Cincinnati early. Shortly after breakfast the president took up the duties of a citizen who has been out of town, but who wants to register and who wishes to vote. He appeared before the election board and secured his certificate of registra tion. Later he motored out to -008 Madison road, where he expected to vote, and go through the final stago of enrollment. "Hello, genutlemen," said the presi dent, as he walked into the polling place, which is in the first floor of a most unpretentious furniture shop. The election judges arose, doffed their hats and sand: "Good afternoon." "I want to see if I am in the right pew," said the president, taking out the certificate he had secured earlier in the day, and looking it over care fully. Richard Murphy, a Democrat, and one of the election judges, questioned the president. "What is your occupation?" asked Mr. Murphy, "president of the United States?" "Well," answered Mr. Taft, smiling, "just put me down as a lawyer; I want that known because I may need the business soon." "You are president of the United States." said Murphy. "Well, put me down as president," assented Mr. Taft. "I can't deny that. Make it president of the United States and attorney. The president admitted being 64 years of age; said he was married and thought he had lived in precinct M about 12 years. When he had finished and had signed the polling book and been recorded as "number 301," there in, he asked: "Am I the only one today?" "You are the first one so far," said Murphy. Well, good bye gentlemen, said the president, as he walked out and stepped into the waiting automobile, "I will see you tomorrow." From the polling place Mr. Taft re turned to the home of his brother, C. P. Taft. During the day he received many friends from Cincinnati and other Ohio cities. M. E.

RUMORS OF PERJURY. False Swearing Is Suspected in the Lorimer Investigation. Chicago, Nov. 7. Persistent rumors that the senatorial investigating com mittee in the Lorimer election would charge certain of the witnesses with perjury, owing to the contradictory statements that have been made from the witness chair, gave added interest to the hearing when it was resumed i today. It was thought some decisive action would be taken by the senators l hearing the evidence. Just who was i to be called as the first witness of the day was not announced. NO ONE IS TO BLAME.

PEREMPTORY CHALLENGE They Have Nearly Been Reached in the McXamara Case. Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 7. Plenty of trouble was in sight at the opening of today's session of the McNamara murder trial. The state was seeking grounds for challenging a socialist talesman and the defense was plan ning to oust from the box another talesman whom a previous effort had failed. But for a. series of unexpected ob stacles, the question of peremptory challenges would have been reached yesterday. One talesman, Seaborn Manning was excused because of ill health, the defense announced that it had new information concerning Tales man George W. McKee, and after the state challenge for implied bias against Talesman George W. Morton had been rejected by the court. As sistant District Attorney Horton unex pectedly opened up another line of ex amination, and finding that Morton was a socialist, hung on sturdily until 5 o'clock, when court adjourned, mak ing it possible to investigate the tales man's record before the court opened. W hen court closed Morton had left no visible opening for another chal lenge and spectators and counsel alike were eager to know from what angle the prosecution would begin its ques tions today. Providing these pending matters are cleared and the jury box is filled, the defense will ask that as each peremp tory challenge Is exercised, a new talesman be called into the box and examined forthwith. S. L Vermllyea. the on'v "outsider" in the district attorney's force, is de pended on by the state, it is under stood, to cress examine talesmen in connection with all testimony relating to dynamite. He has practical knowl edge of that explosive, having been employed in mines before he studied law, and upon him will be placed the burden cf endeavoring to refute the testimony of experts whom the defense will produce to testify that the Times building was destroyed by some other agency. PROBE IS BLUNTED. Important Evidence Is Withheld From F'ederal Grand Jury. Indianapolis, Nov. 7. A federal grand jury investigation as to whether John J. McNamara. James B. McNamara and Ortie E. McManigal had violated a statute governing interstate trans portation of dynamite and other ex plosives was set to begin today but the progress to be made was proble matical because of the failure of the government immediately to obtain all the evidence it sought. Account books and letters of the In ternational Association of Bridge and Structural Iron workers which County Prosecutor Frank P. Baker had been ordered to take to the federal grand jury room, are withheld pending ac tion on an appeal by the Iron Workers' association to the Indiana supreme court from an order of the criminal court of this county turning the evi dence over to the federal grand Jury. It was understood the investigation would proceed with copies of the rec ords and the examination of witnesses to the raids of the offices of the Iron Workers' association here. GOOD FOR THE MILLERS. Treasury Department's Interpretation of the 109 Tariff Act. LaCrosse, Nov. 7. Official interpre tation from the treasury department on the details of the much mooted provision of the federal laws regulat ing the importation of wheat to be manufactured into flour for export was received here today. It construes the tariff act of 190 9 in a manner gratify ing to flour manufacturers of the northwest. The department ruling, contained in a. letter to Congressman Esch and the Listman Mill company of this city is. in its important provisions, in part as follows: "Wheat may be imported, the duty paid thereon and the flour and by products produced therefrom export ed, with the benefit of drawback equal to 9 9 per cent of the duty paid, under section 25 of the tariff act August 6 1909. "In operating under this section it is not necessary to bond the mill, but the duties must be paid on the wheat imported. "This wheat may be milled in con junction with domestic wheat and the drawback obtained. The amount of duty paid, less one per cent which is retained by the government, is dis tributed to the flour and the by-prod ucts according to the relative values thereof. If the flour and all Dy-prod ucts are exported, the entire 99 per cent of the duty is refunded. If the flour alone is exported and the by products are retained in this country, only a portion of the duty is refund ed, the amount refunded depending on the relative values of the flour and several by-products. "Wheat also may be imported and milled in bond under section 23 of the tariff act of August 5, 1909. In this case no duty is paid on the imported wheat but the mill must be bonded and the milling done under govern ment supervision. A storekeeper should be provided and the expenses would have to be defrayed by the par ty interested and not by the govern ment." NEGROES IN REVOLT. Blacks in Angola Are Burning and Pillaging.

The first sale of United States government 24 per cent bonds. Issued through the postal savings banks department, has just been made on the market here, the bonds fetching only 92. It was realized hy bankers from the time that the first f these postal savings bonds were issued, that they would not be worth par but the sale at 92 has put a lower valuation on them than some government bond dealers ex pected. It thus appears that the small depositor who takes bonds at par must hold his bonds until maturity, twenty years hence, or, if forced to realize on his holdings, must accept a heavy loss on his principal. For example, the holder of $200 of these 2V& Per cent bonds who bought them last July for $200, has now sold them for $185, suffering a loss of 7 per cent of the Drincipal invested four months ago. Bank ers declare that it will be necessary for the government to adopt some chante whereby the parity oi tnese Donas may maintained. GOOD TELEPHONE SERVICE.

Newell, the Wichita con tractor, who left his wife and babies for the love of another woman, came to To Peka today to answer a state charge un der the delinquent parent act; pleaded guilty and was fined $100. The Wichita man must also send his wife $25 a montn for the support of the children. It was IS months ago when Newell made love to another man's wife in Wichita, Mrs. Newell claims, and this complication of domestic relations de stroyed the happiness in two homes. Mrs. Newell and the four children came to Topeka. The "other woman's" husband left home and never came back; and Newell is said to have squandered his money on the second woman. The sec ond woman had silk dresses, a horse and buggy and theater tickets, all at the Wichita contractor's expense. For more than a year Mrs. Newell had struggled through prosperity and ad versitymostly adversity In an effort to keep the children together. Then she swore to a complaint against her once fond companion. She told of letters which she found In husband's possession. They were written by the "other wo man" and were enlivened with endearing terms that made Newell's real wife blush. When Newell came to Topeka today, he went at once to his wife's home, 424 Madison street. Just what he told the children and his former love, Mrs. Newell today refused to repeat. Doubtless there was something of a reconciliation, but it didn't reach the point where Mrs. Newell Invited the contractor to bring his trunk home. Mrs. Newell walked to the court hotis with her husband and there Newell was as meek as a lamb. He was guiltv of all the complaint charged, he said, and when the couple reached the office of Ppnhatp Judge Schoch. Newell entered a plea of guilty. He was fined $100 and costs, but didn't complain. Then Judge Srhoch said that the contractor should send $25 a month to Topeka for the sunport of the four children. Again Newell waH sub missive and entered never a protest. When Newell explained ti the court that he was a busy man and would have to work for the $23 a month, the court granted a parole and Newell's first check for the children is to come December 1 In plenty of time for Christmas. But, away down in Newell's heart, there were sore spots that would not heai. He objected most bitterly to the newspaper reports of his domestic com plications and many lovrs. "Down at Wichita." Newell wrathfully told an assistant In the county attorney's office, "they spread mv troubles all over the newspaper. What was the result? Why, I lost my Job." Then Newell ground his teeth and looked dacreers out of a pair of coal black eyes. Evidently Newell was reviewing In his own mind the Joy he would find in eating a few dozen insignificant newspa per reporters. After the formality of pleading gulltv was at an end. Newell walked from the building and to the depot. Solemnly he promised' to he good and Mrs. Newell gave a deep slh of relief in the thousrht that- the responsibility of supporting the familv of five would not fall entirely on her shoulders.

I believe that the Topeka Ad club is one of the very live forces in To peka." said Dr. Loveland in his mtro duetorv remarks. "There may be some riarts of the organization that are m a vtitc of decomposition, but I believe the club is one of tne live wires in the city and that the citizens owe a good dea. to such a club." Jraises State Journal's Enterprise. "IV. H. Heine, assistant manager of the 'World s Color Printing company, cf St. Louis, impressed on the club the credit due the State Journal in being the first publication in the world to j adopt the daily color page. Not in j many months has a man addressed the Ad club who has been in closer touch j with the metropolitan press than is Heine; and it is his close relationship with the affairs that make up the suc cess of the big publications that led to bis straightforward statement that the State Journal has established a! precedent in modern journalism that would make the big papers sit up and observe. As a circulation puller. Heine was confident that the daily comic section was the greatest scheme ever attempt ed by any publisher. He foresaw great results from the new effort and com plimented Topeka on owning the first paper to fearlessly attempt the revolu tion of daily journalism. "I have watched with much interest the great stride made by the Topeka State Journal." said the St. Louis man. "and I foresee only the greatest re turns for the fearless effort. While a few other papers have attempted the dally comic section, yet they have never gone beyond the ordinary black and white ink method. "Already the large publishers in the East are taking note of the State Journal's new and commendable ven ture. I have seen a score of telegrams from some of the largest publishers in the country, in which they commended the new step of the State Journal and predicted for the raper great returns in circulation and advertising. "To me the effort of the State Jour nal is the greatest and most effective effert of any publication since the days when the comics were first started. Xot only will I watch the future de velopments of the State Journal's new st"p, but I know that from all over the country, newspaper and magazine pub lishers, both great and small, will keep a weather eye on the new en deavor. The greatest result from the new campaign will come to the circu lation department, and I look for this feature to establish a record as a cir culation builder." Heine seemed unable to sav too much for the new plan. His "work with the World Color company has placed him in intimate touch with every paper of consequence in the country: and he has become enthusi astic in his praise of the State Jour nal s plan. Tte ?,lim Jim color Pses, appearing in the State Journal, are made bv the company which Mr. Heine represents In this afternoon s edition, this pauer installed a second lot of the World Color company's plates. They are the Anna Belle and Mr. Boss plates, pub lished this afternoon on the last page of the State Journal. Following his speech before the Ad club. Mr. Heine said that already the interest created by the State Journal's colored comic section had aroused such r. that negotiations were under way to establish the colored comics with a string of big eastern papers. Commands Chureli Atlvcrti.AiK. Frank P. MacLennan said a few words for the church advertising scheme. He told of the policies of papers in other cities, where the churches paid for the church notices. 'But," said the Topeka publisher, and the club members roared as he finished his sentence, "you know the Topeka papers have established a plan of giving so many things away with their papers and advertising; and, of course, the churches could not be charged for their advertising." Then Mr. MacLennan told of the initial step taken a few weeks ago by ir. Charles M. Sheldon, when the Congregational pastor-author used a half-page ad in the evening and morn ing papers ana taiKea to an overnow meeting on Sunday night. It was a rainy, disagreeable evening, and many of the Topeka ministers talked to empty pews. But at the Central Con gregational church every seat was taken long before the services started, It was the printer s ink that drew the crowd. The church publicity policy- was strongly advocated by Mr. Mac Lennan and he endorsed the strong sentiments expressed by Dr. Loveland in favor 01 tne churches using the i advertising columns to display their ware3. Good Tilings Promised. The meeting, although the first held since the annual summer holiday was I taken, was attended by about 40 prom inent business men and was suffi ciently rousing to show that the en suing year will be one of the most prosperous periods in the history of the organization, which has done much for Topeka, having been re sponsible for the reorganization of the Commercial club more than two years and a half ago. N B. Burge, the president of the organization, presided over the meet ing and he has the reputation of pushing to success any enterprise he gets behind. Marco Morrow told of some of the treats that are in store m the way of brilliant speeches in the coming months. Elbert Hubbard will be here some time in the early portion of De cember and Seth Brown at the same time. Two weeks from today Frank Jar rell, head of the publicity department of the Santa Fe will speak on "Rail road Publicity." Frank Gray, who has made a great success in the agency business in Kansas City, will deliver an address before the club which he delivered in the hearing of the K. Tj class in journalism and which is said to have made a decided "hit." Ed ward F. Trefz of Chicago, expert with the Bill Posting association, will also be one of the speakers. SHOOTING BOY, $15,000. H. E. Fletcher, Who Fired on Hal loween Celebrators Sued. For the shooting of Otto Boyd Hal loween night. H. E. Fletcher, a wealthy Shorey farmer, was today made defendant in a suit for $15,000 damages, brought by D. W. Boyd, lather and next friend of the injured young man. The petition alleges that the shooting was malicious and without provocation and that young Boyd has been injured to the extent cf $15,000 because of the attack. It is charged that Fletcher laid in wait for the party of Halloween prow lers and fired on Boyd without just cause. The petition also recites that I not less than thirty shot took effect in i Boyd's head, face and neck. At least three of these shot are said to jiave caused serious injury. One shot en tered the boy's right ear and has not been recovered. This may result in the partial loss of his hearing. A sec ond shot entered Boyd's neck and came out through his throat, causing a very dangerous wound, while a third shot struck Boyd in the jaw and for some days it was impossible for him to close his jaws. The shot lodged below the ear and near the hingle of the jaw bones. Boyd is still in St. Francis hospital. While his condition is not critical, yet his injuries are of a decidedly painful nature and may result in permanent injury to his hearing. Fletcher, who did the shooting, has employed Otis Hungate as counsel and will contest the case in the district court. At the present time Fletcher is under bond to answer a criminal charge for the shooting. The law- firm of Garver Garver brought the action against Fletcher. Judge Robert Garver, a member of the firm, is in the peculiar position of prosecuting a civil action against Fletcher and will pass on the evidence in the criminal case when the cause is tried in his court.

Lichstern Sells 100,000 Bushels to Millers. Chicago. Nov. 7. A. J. Lichstern, who is credited with being one of the largest holders of cash wheat in the tTnited States today sold 100.000 bushels of No. 2 red winter wheat to millers at 54 cents under the May option. These are his own terms after having refused a remarkable offer from the millers for 5,000,000 bushels under his price. It also was announced that within the last week he had disposed of four million bushels without being forced to alter his terms. The 5.000.000 bushels bid, possibly the largest ever made for a single transaction In wheat, was refused by Lichstern be cause the figures did not meet his views by of a cent a bushel.

Thomas who was down In the Second Congressional district last week where the struggle is on between Taggart, the Democratic candidate for congress, and Guyer, the Republican candidate, feels confident that the Democrats are going to elect their candidate to succeed the late Alexander Mitchell.

BOOKS ARE SEIZED 17. S. Uarshal Gets the Iron workers Records. Compels Trust Company to Gire Them Up. STILL AFTEK A JURY. Partisanship Barred by Judg Bordwell at Los Angeles. Challenge of Men Who Rtad Ap peal to Re&ssn Allowed. Indianapolis. Ind., Nov. 7. When Judge A. B. Anderson of the United uates distrlct court was advised today that the federal grand jury had been denied access to certain books of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, he ordered the United States marshal to go to a trust company where the books. were deposited and take possession of them. The books were turned over to the marshal by the officers of the trust company when they were notified of Judge Anderson's order. The grand jury this afternoon proceeded with an examination of the books in the course of an investigation as to whether John J. McNamara, James B. McNamara and Ortie E. McManigal had violated a federal statute governing interstate transportation of explosives. Judge Anderson's action followed a report to him by the grand jury that the officers of the trust company refused to give over the books on the ground that Judge Markey of the criminal court of this county had ordered them withheld pending decision on an appeal to the Indiana supreme court in the dispute as to who should possess them. Partnership Barred. Los Angeles, Nov. 7. Socialism con flicts between capital and labor and like matters were pushed out of the McNamara murder case by Judge Wal ter Bordwell today, is so far as the court's position is concerned. Tales man George W. Morton. 75 years old, went along with ..:iem being excused by the court over the protest of the defense, who asserted that Morton's only disqualification was the reading of certain copies of the "Appeal to Rea son," a socialist paper. Morton was challenged by Assistant District At torney G. Ray Horton on the ground that he was of "faulty mind," and that being 75 years old he might not be j-.ble to endure the strain of a long trial and had scov.'n garrulity. The wide smile generally on Attor ney Clarence S. Darrow's face entirely faded before Horton finished. He fin ally rose with seeming anger. "This man is challenged because he reads the 'Appeal to Reason," he assert ed. "Because cne man is not prejudic ed agairst us we must set rid of him. The district attorney thinks he is not strongly enough biased against the de fense. As to his capacity to act. that's an absurdity "That's the only question, Mr. Dar row," ruled the court. "The question is whether he possesses all his facul ties and is qualified to act." The defense today presented what it holds to be further evidence to show that Talesman George W. McKee, by his expressed opinions is unfit to sit on the 1uri". fflADERO IS BUSY. First Day a President Brinjrs IMai.v Congratulations. Mexico City, Nov. 7.

I too, wish to add my testimonial to the thousands you no doubt have, and will tell you what your great medicine did for me. Several months ago I was taken very sick with bladder trouble, had intense pains and suffered greatly, at times I could not stand on my feet or sit in a chair and often was forced to cry out with pain. I consulted two doctors who gave me different kinds of medicine, which did me no good. It seemed as though the more of their medicine I took, the wors-j I became. The doctors seemed to be greatly puzzled over my case and after holding a consultation, I was told that I had a severe case of inflammation of the bladder and an operation was very necessary. I was being prepared to be taken to the hospital, when a neighbor came to my house and said. "Why don't you try a bottle of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root." I was willing to try anything to get relief from my suffering. My wife bought a bottle of your medicine which I began taking and soon noticed a change for the better. I continued taking it and got better right along, my appetite returned and I was able to resume work. I have used about forteen bottles of Swamp-Root and know that had I not taken it. I would have been operated on, and perhaps never recovered. I never fail to ttll my friends about Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root as I know it will save many people from suffering and perhaps, as in my case, a dangerous op eration. Yours gratefully, SAMUEL WILSON. 651 Pierce St. N. E., Minneapolis, Minn. Personally appeared before me this 24th day of Sept., 1909, Samuel Wilson, of the city of Minneapolis of the State of Minnesota, who subscribed the above and on oath says that same is true in substance and in fact.

Will Investigate Cope-Moore Contro versy Tomorrow. When four bishops of the Metho dist church come to Topeka Wednes day morning to decide the Cope case, there will probably be a session that will be worth attending. But the pub lic will not be admitted and all mat ters concerning the sensational Cope-Richardson-Moore troubles will be disposed of behind closed doors. It is assured, however, that the pub lic will receive an account of the hear ing, but only persons directly con nected with the case or retained by interested parties will be admitted to the conference. Mrs. Cope demands a straightforward apology concern ing certain, letters written by Bishop Moore of Cincinnati. It is on the ac tion of the bishops that will decide the future developments in the sensa tional case that has aroused the Meth odist churches of the entire country. That Bishop Moore himself will come to Topeka is a matter of much importance to Kansas Methodism. That he w-ill be accompanied by Bishops Berrey, Neulson and Smith, makes the gathering one of great prominence and reveals the grave sit uation which now confronts the na tional board. The visiting bishops will arrive in Topeka early Wednesday morning from Oklahoma City. They will break fast with Dr. Frank L. Loveland. pas tor of the First Methodist church. At 8 o'clock an executive session will be held at the church for the purpose of disposing of the troubles between Bishop Moore, Mrs. Cope and others. Final agreement of some nature will probably be reached before noon. Just what decision the board will make is a matter on which no one in Topeka cares to base a prediction. At 1:30 tomorrow afternoon the bishops will leave for Denver. rneir stay in Topeka will be short, but in the few hours history will be made that will be read with interest by every Methodist in the United States.

There was another presentation ceremony this afternoon aboard th-e battleship Utah when the Na tional Anti-Mormon committee gave the ship's mess a silver tray which they hoped would be used instead of one bear ing a small picture of Brigham Young, early leader of the Mormon church. The Brigham Young tray, as the com mittee have called the piece in their ap peals, was presented yesterday with 11 other pieces of the magnificent service given by the people of Utah. In place of the pictures of Brigham Young and the Mormon temple which appear on the original tray, the substitute bears the symbolic, figure of a young girl, repre senting tan. The tray bore the follow ing inscription: "Presented to the U. S. battleship Utah by members of the American party in the state of Utah as an expression of their loyalty to that state, and to the constitution and Democratic cusoms of the United States of America.' The ceremony was in the main salon of the Utah at the navy yard. Mrs. Erna Von R. Owen, chairman of the commit tee, made the presentation. 'For fourteen months." she said, "the non-Mormon citizens of Utah have pro tested against the use of the Brigham Young desisrn on the silver of this great Fhip, the Utah. The American party in convention assembled at Salt Lake in November, 1911, unanlmouslv passed a resolution of protest against this design and forwarded it to President Taft and Secretary Meyer. "When ft became known that our pro test had failed of recognition we deckled to offer to the secretary of the navy a tray which we had hoped to substitute for that bearing the Brigham Young de sisrn." Speeches were made also by rr. Wal ter Ua!d!a.w of New York; Josiah Strong, president of the society for social service, and Mrs. Donald McLean, president or the Daughters of the Revolution. COLEMAN IS NAMED. Preston Coleman of the attorney gen eral's office was this afternoon appointed assistant attorney general for Mont gomery county. Quick Painless Way To Remove Hairs (Beauty Culture.) A chance discovery by a noted chem ist has resulted in a new and harmless way to remove hairy growths without the least possible injury to the skin. A paste is made with ordinary powdered delatone and water and applied to the hairs not wa.nted. After two or three minutes this is rubbed oft and with it comes every trace of hair. The skin is then washed and it is left white, firm and smooth. The delatone treatment for superflu ous hairs is so simple to use and so quick in action that no one is justifleJ in employing the painful and costly electric needle. Delatone costs a dollar for an original ounce package, and Is worth every cent. Any druggist can supply it.

The State Journal is a mnr.ber of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication in Tcpeka. The news Is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. Reciprocity in freight cars, at any rate, would be of advantage to Can ada just now. The railroads there are In the throes of a bis car shortage. The standard for membership in the famous Loyal Legion can not be ps ceedingiy high when such a gentleman and distinguished soldier as General Dan Sickles is barred from' it. Almost everybody will probably be "Willing to take the word of Connecti cut's expert cooker of skunlvs fo the effect that this beast when properly baked has a slight "gamy" flavor. Something more flashy and better to gaze upon than the Brooks comet will have to put in an appearance to make many folk get up at five o'clock these mornings to take a look at it. Something of a paradox: .Aviator Rodgers traveled at the rate of about a mile a minute in his flight from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, but it took him several months to make the trip. Since the Chinese rein llion has teen progressing so favorably the price of opium has dropped materially iu the Celestial kingdom. This may have been one of the objects of the revolu tion. Apparently the commercial travelers of the country have determined to put up with many annoyances and lack of attention on their trips in the future. Their National, league has decided to carry on a campaign' stgainst tipping. A fortune that will surpass Rocke feller's, Carnegie's and J. Pierpont Morgan's combined, is in prospect for that Kansas university investigator, if he has actually discovered a harmless vaccine that will remove all facial blemishes. Lee O'Xeil Browne says he knows all about the election of Mr. Lorimer to the United States senate. But it is far from being likely that he will tell U o congressional investigating com mittee everything he knows in this connection. August Herman's plan for an all around contest at the close of each season between all the teams of the American and National leagues, in stead of the championship series be tween the winners in each league, has all the earmarks of being a good one. Even one hundred dollars a game for each of them is not too much pay for the umpires to receive in the cham pionship series. It must be remember ed that an unpopular decision in one of these contests might precipitate forty thousand angry fans on the umps. And that would be no picnic. Incidentally the 200 injunction cases to suppress liquor selling in Wichita which have been brought by the attor ney general's department wii! result in a harvest of fat fees. The bringing of such injunctions is much more profit able than the mere prosecution of vio lators of the prohibitory law en sales' counts. Remarkable progress is being made in the MeNamara case. It is expected that a jury will be obtained by New Tear's. It doesn't look as though they were going to do as well in the Hyde case. And then learned judges fre quently score the common herd for a lack of public-spiritedness in their efforts to dodge jury duty. Another difference between baseball and football is that in the latter it seems to be all right for the umpire, or referee, to change his decisions a day or so after the game is played. At least, that is how a Kansas football referee worked out recently. It came to him in a dream that his original decision was wrong, Of a truth, do strange things happen, or are permit ted in Kansas. Wall street is reported to be feeling considerably better after its recent acute attack of scaretis. It doesn't take very much, either, to give Wall street a scare. If holders of stock can be frightened into selling it in large blocks, it means more money for the Wall street brokers in the way of com missions. And this gentry are certain ly in need of a little loose change these days. During the past two or three years, or since the general public has become wise to the fact that it is fu tile to attempt to beat the Wall street game, the brokers have had pretty poor picking. CHAPTER XV. Which suddenly abandons the schedule for today "The old Emporia News strike" blank that strike, anyway and takes a sudden flyer into politics and advertising. The strike about thirty years ago in the old Emporia News office but we absolutely can't write up that strike today: got too many other live things to discuss; that strike will have to go over to a future chapter, and M. B we make no more promises about that strike. But if this lamp holds out to burn, the oldest subscriber may return to these chapters later on in the book and read about it. Meanwhile, it is desired that Homer Gardner, who is running a paper in southeastern Kan sas," and C. O. Smith, the editor and proprietor of the Burlington Republi can, and a crack rifle shot, write a little letter refreshing the memory upon a few points in this old inclden for Gardner and Smith were the strikers. Today is an eventful one in the Sec ond district, for both the Republican and the Democrats are voting at th polls to select the man to represen them in congress as a successor to th late A. C. Mitchell, who a few months ago succeeded to the place vacated by- Charles F. Scott. Scott was a most able man, but Mitchell had no chane to show what he could do because th mark of death was upon him when he took the oath of office: he never at tended but a few sessions of congress. Tonight the Kansas people will know whether the congressman from the Second district will be Ir. S. Guyer, Republican, from Kansas City, Kan. cr Joseph Taggart, Democrat, also of Kansas City, Kan. At this writing this afternoon the indications really poin to a victcrv for Mr. Taggart, but all political prophecies are guesses, so thii is not a prophecy. Governor Stubbs, who in many re spects has made an excellent executive does, it seems to the writer, make some "terrible breaks" at times. For instance, in an interview which he gave to the State Journal last Safur day evening, upon the request of the political reporter tor a statement about the Second congressional situa tion, Governor Stubbs said: "1 believe it is the absolute duty of every citizen, regardless of political faith. who believes in good government, to make whatever sacrifice is necessary to go to the polls and vote tor Ij. S. Guyer for con gress." This is a surprise from the governor. He has a p'etty level head generally but what absolute "rot" is that sen ten.-e from the Quaker's tongue. Head it over carefully again. When the gov ernor fachers such a remarkable state tnent as the one here quoted, and wiiieh he has not disputed, and which it must be pre.5uimd correctly quotes him, 1 merely stoops to old machine politico of the worst kind. Every newspaper man who is in line with the situation in the Second district, and they pretty nearly all keep close tab, knows that the election today is merely the climax of one of the worst political pieces of chicanery and deception ever pulled off by Republicans, in any district in Kan sas. The State Journal knows whereof i speaks for its staff has been in clo.se touch with the situation ever since the lamentable death of Representative Mitchell. Guyer is reputed to be, and is so classed by Governor Stubbs the "Pro gressive" candidate lor the office of Congressman. The "Insurgent" faction of the Republican party, which by the way is rapidly going to Halifax, makes as one of its' primary principles the primary to select candidates. The "Insurgents" were afraid that if they held a primary, that is a fair one, Hon. Charles F. Scott, who made such a brilliant record for a dozen or more years in Congress, and was honored by merit and the consideration of the powers in Congress, with the chair manship of the great Committee on Agriculture, the greatest committee in which Kansas could be interested; the "Insurgents" were afraid it is meant to say that if a primary were held, Scott would be chosen. So the committee devised the scheme of nominating by committee. The State Journal fought this vigorously and at the last moment the storm raised by the proposed ac tion of the committee was so great that the committee was obliged to call a primary. But what did the committee do? It set up the stakes for this man Guyer, a man of wealth, but not very well known politically, that is. not like Scott. To be sure, Guyer is well known locally. He has been honored with the office of mayor of his city. He has trained with the "Insurgents," but is really only a high grade ward poli tician. The committee made it absolutely certain that Guyer would be nomi nated. They so drafted the prelimi naries that no man of ordinary means could afford to make the race. It was stipulated that each candidate must deposit 13,000 in cold cash "to cover his proportion of the expense of hold ing the primary election." Right here then, immediately, the many candidates slipped away like snow in the sunshine. Brady with drew. Scott declared he could not afford to make the race, and further more, he did not seem anxious to make it anyway. He had made ar rangements other than political; that is, to devote his time and attention to his old paper, the Iola Register. A. M. Keene, attorney of Fort Scott, also was too busy to run. Don Carlos, who represented Douglas county in the last legislature was also thinking of getting in the race, but no $3,000 stake for him. j We say- it in all seriousness: It is?ssen the experiment tried. I haven't absurd. We read of this remarkable action in the Second district, followed and endorsed by alleged progressives, who in their progressiveness are not entitled to tie the laces of the shoes of the great, big, broad gauged, real pro gressive man who is now in the presi- dential chair, and is the very best Pro gressive in power today. And yet Governor Stubbs would tell you of the Second district today: "I believe it is the absolute duty of every citizen, regardless of political faith, who believes in good govern ment, to make whatever sacrifice is ijecessary to go to the polls and vote for U. S. Guyer for congress." And yet Governor Stubbs would tell you of the Second district today: "I believe it is the absolute duty of every citizen, regardless of political faith. who believe in good government, to make whatever sacrifice is necessary to go to the polls and vote for U. S. Guyer for con gress. Isn't this enough to disgust all good people with the alleged "progressive' measures of this sort? We do not know Joseph Taggart very well, but do know that he is a lawyer of good standing, is now county attorney of the Second district, and would doubt less be a creditable representative for the second district, and would doubt less look after the interests of both the Democrats and Republicans, regardless of party, if he take the oath of office. As said above, personal acquaintance with him is limited, but we will say that we think Taggart ought to be elected today, if for nothing more than to rebuke the alleged "progre; sive" movement in the Second district. Guyer may slip in, but he will have a bad brand on him the minute he starts for Washington. Just at the time the writer should have been hard at work on Chapter XV, he got mixed up into a little ad vertising controversy early this after noon with the Rev. F. L. Loveland, our esteemed friend, the pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Topeka. Marco Morrow, chairman of the program committee of the Topeka Advertising club, with good taste, had persuaded Dr. Loveland to address the club at its luncheon today. Dr. Love land "made good," as the report of his speech in another part of this paper tonight will show. The genial doctor, who is not only good preacher and line orator, but a lover of manly sports, had taken a "shot at the State Journal m con nection with church advertising. President Burge apparently saw an opportunity for a little stirring up of the dry bones in the. club, so he sud denly blurted out just as Dr. Loveland sat down perspiring from his success ful efforts to make a fine peroration: Mr. MacLennan will now have two minutes to reply." Thereupon Mr. MacLennan said something like the report below: A crack State Journal reporter was there, but finally he said: "Mr. Mac, you talk too fast for me. I wish you would let me try to get down Mr. Heine's fine talk, and if you want to be represented in your own columns, you had better enjoy the unique dis tinction of reporting yourself." We always like to help a reporter out; have been there: and did not wish hint to get into bad repute with the managing editor who sent him to take down what was going on, so the writer represented Mr. Schultz, and Mr. Schultz is palming this off to the city editor as his report: "President Burge has just an nounced to you," said Mr. MacLennan, 'that I will have two minutes in which to reply to Dr. Loveland. "President Burge seems to be a dic tator here. I want to assure you that he has no rubber stamp of mine; but I am really glad to have two minutes in which to reply to Dr. Loveland. He has carried you off your feet; me as well. I want to congratulate Mr. Morrow for his success in persuading Dr. Loveland to make his fine, splen did talk to this club. It seems to be my misfortune to follow Dr. Loveland nd he sets a pretty hot pace, making t difficult tor any one to keep up with him. "A few weeks ago in this room I felt obliged to 'touch up' Dr. Love land, particularly, as I had the last word and he had no newspaper; and I did not think he would care to men tion the subject, even in his own de fense, in his pulpit. I confess I took advantage of him, but after the meet- ng he said: 'Young man, I will get ven with you yet!' "So I was naturally expecting a roast from Dr. Loveland today, as he had noticed me quite near him. "The doctor did net miss the op portunity and he 'scored' the State Journal neatly- and with dispatch. In his beautiful and classic language, of ourse. He said he had observed lit- le one and two inch advertisements a the State Journal Saturday evening under the head of church notices, and he also knew the State Journal ran them for nothing, so he said. 'By the way, I want to say right here that Mr. Morrow is also to be congratulated in securing Elbert Hub bard. 'Mr. Hubbard is a wonderful man. He is a great speaker. He is a big advert! 3 r, not only lor himself, b r. or everyone with whom he comes in coitact. He advertises whatever he touches. If, Mr. Morrow has "touched him" for the Tcpeka Ad club, the club will get a treat, the town a big aiiver- isement and all probably for little or othing, for Mr. Hubbard is a high priced talker. He lectures in the Car- egie halls, in the. Copper institutes. nd big convention halls, and there is ardly a room large enough in Topeka to hold him if he is wen advertised. In fact, the club ought to hold that meeting in the Auditorium. But about this church advertising: Dr. Loveland said in reply to the ques- ion asked of him: "Would modern dvertising methods pay the church es? 'I do not know ror 1 nave never had an object lesson.' "Well, I am sorry that Dr. Loveland is not a careful reader of the great re ligious evening daily of Topeka, and he isn't, for he could have had an ob ject lesson in church advertising, by modern business methods, if he had lGoked over the State Journal carefully a week ago last Saturday. "Rev. Dr. Sheldon had sent the State Journal a ten dollar bill and said: 'Please give me the largest dis play advertisement, you can by using this copy: "A New Sermon Story, 'Brander Cushing's Ambition,' Will be Read by Mr. Sheldon Tomorrow, Octo ber 29th, at 7:4 5 P. M., Central Con gregational Church." "Following this, advertisement Sun day evening just at supper time there came up an ugly, drizzing rain. The outlook for showing Dr. Sheldon thai advertising paid was not good. The writer felt that the publicity power of his paper was at stake. He persuaded Mrs. MacLennan to go with him t church that evening. So protected by rain coats, umbrellas and galoshes, th pair sallied forth for the Certral Con gregational church. Upon arrival there, great was the surprise of th couple to tee that the church was al ready well filled and that about th only place lor a seat was well up on the front; the gallery chairs arpar ently being nearly filled too. "It surely paid Dr. Sheldon to adver tise. Great are the Topeka dailies. "Now since Dr. Sheldon's successful results, the Baptist people are nego tiating for a display ad next Satur day evening in the State Journal to advertise their moving pictures. They have not made a contract yet, appar ently planning for a cut in rates. Wo are going to give them the 4 2-cent rate, which is the lowest rate the State Journal makes its biggest To peka advertisers. And now here comes Dr, Loveland talking about tak ing half a page in the Saturday State Journal and the Sunday morning Cap ital. We recommend the Capital to all the churches. Of coursl, we have no Sunday morning paper and the only way they can reach our readers to come in through Saturday or some week dar. "The revenues in Topeka for the Capital and Journal from church advertising have hardly been sufficient to keen the proof presses well oiled but times appear to be changing thanks to Rev. Dr. C. M. Sheldon of the Central Congregational church, Dr. F. L. Loveland of the First M. E. church and Rev. Robert Gordon of the First Baptist church. "The fact of it is, the Topeka pa pers have been giving away so many things with their advertising and sub scriptions that it is often very dim cult to get anything at all for straight advertising or a straight newspaper, without throwing in a mission clock, a carpet sweeper, or a meat chopper so the churches have profitted by this situation and have received nearly all of their advertising free.. No paper in Topeka would have the temerity to charge for a mere church notice, anfl yet in the larger cities the church no tices are paid for as a matter of course at the rate of five cents or more a line. If they are worth five cents a line in the Atchison Globe, what are they worth in the great Topeka morning paper and in the "little old State Jour nal fifty-seven to one." Here President Burge rang the bell on Mr. MacLennan and said the two minutes were up. Why cut each other's throats The Capital ana the State Journal ai-3 eese they are laying golden eggs daily for the profit of Topeka and Kansas. Why does the Capital, by these ques tionable methods, such as buying off our advertising men. our newsboys, de sire to kill one of these geese and have a monopoly of the yellow egg busi ness. This is a case where two golden elliptical spheroids are better than one. That is to say of course: It is better for Topeka to have two dailies, one in the morning and the other in the ev ening "plugging," morning, noon and night and Sundays for Topeka and Kan sas than simply one, which there may be if the Capital is to be permitted Dy the good people of the Capital City to continue day after day and week after week, month after month, in 57 varieties of Capper publications and to continue to scatter the "poison" that Mr. Cap per's rubber stamp has scattered broad cast into the hands and minds of every big advertiser in the United States e.' g. See New Tork "Fourth Estate" and New York "Editor and Publisher," etc., etc., etc., for October 14, 1911, and also New York "Fourth Estate" for last Saturday, November 4, just at hand.

She painted landscapes on canvas that is, she had painted a single on'-, and her grandmother, who had brought her up from the age of 9 to 19, had raised her hands above her head and exclained: "How beautiful! There isn't an art ist in all America who could have done better. It's just as natural as if I stood looking at the real thing. My, but I almost expect that cow to throw up her head and bawl out! Don't you ever think of getting married, Clara. You just keep right on painting such pictures as that." The scene had been taken from Thornapple hill, half a mile from the old red farm house. There was a spot ted cow in the foreground, together with a stump or two. Then there were bushes and trees, and in the perspec tive ,as if one were looking through a joint of stovepipe, was a duck sailing on a pona. it not told it was a duck it might have been taken for the eagle tnat napped nis wings and scream at the battle of Bunker Hill. If the cow had thrown up her head and bellowed it would have been with pain. Her horns were longer than her legs, and her tail would have reached around a haystack. The trees and bushes seemed to have been sawed out for the occasion, and the greensward was such as no herbivorous animal ever yet grazed on. Oh, yes, it was an oil painting all right, and it would be a mean person that would criticise t to the face of the artist or grand mother. It was the artist herself who found just a teenty-weenty bit of fault. She discovered that one of the eyes of the cow looked up and the other down, and this didn t seem quite natural. Th picture was taken back to Thornappia mil tor a closer study. The spotted cow could always be found there, and it would not take long to catch hot- true attitude. The painting was on the easel and the artist was all ready when the cow stepped out from behind th.? bushes. So did something else, but whue the cow faced the artist the something else advanced from the rear. Mr. Burt Delevan was not a land scape painter. He was just the junior partner in a real estate firm m the city and was taking a fall vacation on the farm of his brother and shooting a few blackbirds by way of diversion It was quite by accident that he ran across the artist, but it was rather mpertinent of him to sneak close up nd scan the picture for two long min utes, and certainly impudent to ob serve: I know you mean that for a cow n the background, but Sir!" exclaimed the young lady, as he sprang up in such confusion that ne easel was overturned and the cow tarted to walk away. 'I I beg your pardon," said Mr. Delevan, as the cap came off. "but I poke unconsciously." 'Oh. you did. Then you are an ar- ist yourself?" "No. not exactly. That is "That is, you have seen a cow?" "Yes." "And the cow you saw was not like thip, cow, and therefore you criticise?" "But, Miss, you see see Yes, she saw that he had made a blunder and was confused over it, and that her cold stare at him was trou- ling mere than a dose of bird shoi. He had sneaked up and was an interlope- and so she had all th? aivan- tage. He made no further defence, but retreated with gun in one hand and cap in the other. A look of disdain ilowcd him, but he was onlv out of sight when Miss Clara began to have er doubts about that cow. To doubt the cow was to doubt the duck and the es. Grandma had piled on the praise, but she milght not be a critic. ten minutes that horrible doubt rossed the artist's mind was she a orn artist, or was she only a dauber When this doubt came there were ly two things to do throw a stone t the cow and then go home and teli grandma al! about it. Why, the unhung villain!" exclaim ed the old lady when the tale had been told. "You say he sneaked upon you?" es. "And began right off about the cow?" "Yes." "Didn't wait to introduce himself?" "No." "And stammered and blushed with guilt as he sneaked away?" "I think it was with guilt." "Of course it was. Clara, that man had poisoned somebody's well and was fleeing from justice. Don't you pay any attention to what he said. That paint ing is going to have a $2 frame and hang in tho parlor opposite 'Napoleon Crossing the Alps.' But haven't I got the cow's eyes wrong?" asked the artist. "Should one of them be looking up and the other down?" 'They should, dearie. That's what first made me think you were a born artist. I've watched cows a thousand times. They always keep one eye on the grass and roll the other up as if thanking heaven for the fodder. Don't you worry about her eyes." "But what was the young man go ing to criticise if I hadn't stopped him?" "Land only knows! When a person is mean enough to poison a family well you can't tell what he will say or do next. At first I thought the cow's tail might be too long, but then I remembered that it must be in fly time-she was painted. You just chirk right up and forget that villain. If I was you I'd start a new picture to morrow. But Miss Clara didn't. There were several doubts in her mind now, icnd she didn't agree with her grandmother about the young man being a well poisoner and an unhung villain. As she remembered his face it was at tractive and interesting, with not a line of villainy in it. 'Jhua when she went forth next afternoon it was not to sketch but to think as she walked. She didn't climb Thornapple hill, but skirt ed it, and by and by she came to a brook and turned to the left to looii for a crossing. Mr. Burt Delevan was out again looking for blackbirds. His encounter with the artist on Thornapple hill the day befcre had left him rather hu mirated He therefore stro'.au an other way, yet all the time hop'ng for pr.- J-ei meeti.i;.. jn had hi.s nerve with him now Mid he was sure be could put the ts-e :n such a irht that he- wculd be fo-g'ven. "Say! Say! Help! Help!" Mr. Delevan threw aside his gun and plunged through a thicket to find him self on the bank of a creek. Standing in the shallow water, which reached her knees and was bubbling higher, was the girl artist. "It's quicksand, you see," she ex plained, as the young man stood star ing. Being in the real estate business, which includes all kinds of soils, Mr. Delevan knew just what to do in case of quicksand, and he did it. It was a hard tug. but at length a muddied and bedraggled figure stood on the bank beside him. Not a word had been spoken during the rescue. None was spoken now as the girl was assisted home and left in the arms of her grandmother at the back door. It was two weeks later before there was any conversation a stenographer would have thought worth her pr hooks Then Miss Clara asker her grandmother: "Do you think I will ever make an artist "No, I don't," was the prompt an swer. "That Mr. Delevan has called here seven times since he hauled you out of the quicksand, and if I know anything about apple sass it won't be more'n seven times more before both of you will be so head over heels in love that painting will go to pot!"

Some with a flattering word; The coward does it with a kiss. The brave man with u sword:"' Oscar Wilde. "In a recent talk you tell of the girl, whose engagement has bei n announced, whose preparations for marriage have partly been made, and you say "that tho right thing fur her do is to break the en gagement when she realizes that she would rather be free. Lei us reverse the case and suppose the man has become tired of the girl. It is considered onlv honorable that he 'grin and bear it.' that he hide his true feelings and go ahead and marry her. Do you think this is right or not? One who would like to know!" This is one of the questions which my morning's mail brougnt me. How I wish all the queries and puzzle ments wh'ch come to me wore so easily answered. Being a Yankee. I think 1 11 have to meet that question by another. Do you think, my friend, that there lives a girl who would be any happier to find out that her man did not love her after marriage, when there is no escape instead of before marriage when there is? Perhaps the man who discovers that he is In such a predicament, might fancy in a fine glow of honor and sell-sacrii ice, that he would never let her find out at all, but would keep his feelings a secret for life. But alas, fine glows of honor and self sacrifice die down just as surelv and naturally as the log In your fireplace crumbles into cold ashes, and I don't be lieve anyone short of an archangel could hide from a woman in a lifetime of dailv living- with her. the fact that he riii nor love her. She must know some time. It does not seem to me tlvat there is anv question when that some time should be. I consider tnat the proper thing for a man to do who finds he has mad" such a tragic mistake is first to do nothing. Let him wait. Let him test himself in everv wav of which he can think. Let him be sure. But after he is absolutely- sure that he isn t making a second mistake, let him go to the girl and tell her simply and frankly that he doesn't think he cares enough for her to make her happv, and ask her to break the engagement. In the name of human decencv. in true name of the kindness that kills "with a knife because the dead so soon grow cold." let him not try to hint about the matter. it seems to me that the mot cruel tiling in such a case would be for a girl to look back afterwards and remember hints which, in the folly- of her love and trust. she had disregarded. So let him tell her tranklv. quickly and finally. And now. one more suceestion. When he has broken with her there are still two possible courses left to him. He may al low people to guess the truth or he mav do everything in his power to give the impression tnat the lack of love was on her side and that th'? engagement was broken actually as well as formally by lier. Which course be nursues will stamn him surelv for what he is either an hon orable man who has made an unfortu nate mistake or a cad, pure and simple. POIXTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Posing as a model citizen isn't an easy job. ouentlv Set? 1w UVe.l y quentl get twisted. It's awfully deceitful fer a young widow not to want to remarry. People who think themselves some pumpkins are usually small potatoes. It takes a wise woman to transform a "good fellow" into a model husband. Ilo you happen to know of anything more industrious than an idle rumor? A man never lives long enough to un derstand why his neighbors dislike him. Somebody says that it is a good thing people don't live their private lives pub licly. Many a man's honesty is due to the fact that he doesn't know how to manipulate the gas meter. The fact that "faint heart ne'er won fair lady" must be a source of much sat isfaction to old bachelors. At the age of 21 a man -starts In to re form the world, but at Co he is busy try ing to keep the world from reforming him. Scientists tell us the higher we go the colder it gets. Perhaps that is why moie of us do not struggle to reach the top. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. The reason a woman has a good temper is so her husband can think he has it. A bad man isn't as afraid of getting caught doing something wrong as a good man is of doing it. There's no heroism about managing a family, and that's why a woman can per form the heroism of doing It. A woman gets more eatisfaction out of cutting a rival dead than a man does out of beating his enemy at a horse trade. It seems as if people would go a thou sand miles to do a man a bad turn where they wouldn't go a foot to do him a good one. i BY THE WAY BY HARVEY PARSONS. Hunting partridges or any other birds from aeroplanes can scarcely be styled real sport. It doesn't give the feathered things anything like a lair show to outwit the hunter. The Duncans, exponents of the nightie for daytime wear, have left the country because America rel'uned to take them seriously. It is a good thing for them that America hm a sense of humor, and didn't take them seriously. Chicago man who was sentenced to walk the floor two hours per night with the baby got off e,'i.y.

Another item for th anti-cigarette crusaders: San Fran cisco gent, by name of Abe Isaacs, died, at the tender aee of 1 Ofi, while incinerating one of the deadly pills.

FHEKHAM I was glad to notice in the newspaper recently display advertisements of the escalator manufactured by the Otis Kle- vator company. it was good advertising, too. I was particularly glad to see it becaiiM the advertising done hy this conipxnv heretofore, with very f-w exceptions, 1m been in the shape of high-priced reading notices, without any advertising marku, ia reading matter type, in some iiewspa iicr. That kind of advertising lias cone out of date. It is not labeled advertising, and people do not read it or believe it as they do the stralKht-out-from-the-shoulder, clean-cut display arivertis.nfr. There Is no mistaking a display adver tisement in a rev. sparer, it Is there fur a business purpose. There Is no attempt to deceive the reader. If It is intelligently written, attractively set if it tells the truth it will have more effect than dozens of reading notices, which are usually written with the idea of Impressing the reader that the paper is printing it as news, and that the ad vertiser didn't write It at all. That kind of advertising does not make a dent in the minds of the modern news paper readeis. It Is astonishing how they are able to discriminate between a real news item and a "pretender." The public very quickly spots pretense! I'll wager the f His Klevator advertising, as now being den", lias attracted more people and has been more thorouKhly read than anything the company has ever put out to the public before. The Otis company Is a big Institution. It is successful. It has something to ad vertise. Why shouldn't it advertise and interest the public in escalators by sug gestion and argument? The people usually g-ot what they waat. ,h6y Wi" haVe theI"' a,1'J "U"'"; -laM wj), n(Jt darp them nay. The Otis people are very wise in reeoe nizing the power of straight out-and-out advertising. fn tiVMOR OF THE DAi Gritty I'ikos It's a heartless world, pard.

Men and Women of National Note Are Here. How to Prepare Your Own Shampoo A bountiful growth of soft, lux uriant hair can be every woman's legacy hair whose shimmery. silky strands respond to the finger's gentle touch and go in place as if by magic." writes Mrs. Mae Martyn- in the Is'ew York Daily Record. "'o great effort is required, but the right sort of treat ment should be given it. Shampoo ing with hurtful preparations must be avoided in fact, the only safe sham poo to use is plain canthrox. a teaspoon ful of which dissolved in a cup hot wa ter is enough for a satisfactory sham poo. "The canthrox mixture creates a wealth of rich, cleansing lather that gently penetrates and loosens all dead tissue, stops irritation and neutralizes excess oil. When the head is rinsed, the scalp and hair are spotlessly clean, and the hair takes on a rich tone an 1 mystic charm. Occasional shampoos with canthrox will induce the hair to grow abundantly and take on an even color that greatly adds to personal charm."

Yes, a fountain will be built in Gar field park in the spring. This is ac cording to a statement made by Eu- I gene B. Stotts, commissioner of parka and public buildings, this atternoon. Today several have asked about the matter. In reply Mr. Stotts assures them that the promised fountain will be in operation by the time the park is open in the spring. The plans had been drawn and the water connection from the park had been made last spring. It "was the intention to place the fountain in the park then. But just at that time the smallpox epi- demic broke out and Mr. Stotts had something else to do besides looking' after fountains. By the time he had time, it was too late. It would have required until September for the in stallation of the improvement. And as the park season was comparatively over, it was decided to wait until next spring to build the basin. The fountain will cost over $500. Part of this sum was raised by charg- ing a percentage of the gate receipts of a street fair held just south of the park last May. It was Mr. Stotts' idea to do this, instead of asking the com paratively small license customary. S. R. Kutz, who has been secretary of the North Topeka drainage board for four years, one hour before the meeting of the board Monday after noon, gave notice of his intention to resign.

Townsites of Yesterday Are Cornfields Today. Owl No Longer Hoots and Cur rency Is Gene. Hutchinson, Kan., Nov. 7. Where once was the thriving city of Spring field, at one time cltiimant of the dis tinction of being county seat of Sedg wick county, ia now a prosperous look ing field of wheat. The Morgan brothers of Whitewater, Kansas, recently bought the townsite, have put the ground in wheat and there is now a good crop growing where once was a prosperous little city. Former Population 1,500. Springfield at one time had a popu lation of close to 1.500; there were brick buildings, a fair court house: a waterworks system, and a splendid prospect. But the Rock Island missed the town and was built through Lib eral, which eventually became the county seat. And so Springfield died. One by one the bulidings crumbled, finally only the waterworks system remained, it stand ing for several years after the town had become deserted. A year or more ago the old water system was removed from the townsite, the mains being dug up. the hydrants removed and the last vestige of Springfield passed away. Judge Applegate. who owned the townsite, of late years recently sold it and the land which, since the dying of the town has been used only for pas turage. :s now being cultivated and converted into a farm. Many Deserted Towns. But there are many Springfields throughout southwestern Kansas. Every county has its deserted town sites, where once stood prosperous towns, all hopeful of becoming county seats, or at least getting railroads. And now they are off the map. to make way for more fortunate towns when the long expected railroad missed them. In lieno county, for example, there i are twenty-one townsites where at one time existed lively settlements, and which have been driven off the map all within comparatively a few years, because the railroads failed to hit the townsites. A map of Kansas published in 1SS3 gave the towns of Kingman county. Butterfly, Loette, Maud and Eunice. And Batterily. true to its name, last ed but one brief summer season. And the others, with feminine names, also proved tickle to their founders. Not Even Hole Is Left. That map of 28 years ago indica ted but three towns in Comanche coun ty; Evansville. Bannville and Soldier Creek. None of them survive. In Clark county was but one town. Deep Hole. Not even a hole is left where Deep Hole once stood. There were then four towns in Meade coun ty, ani four only: Pearlette, Belle Meade, Odee and Fringer. Not a one survives. Sewurd county had but one town. Adobe. And Adobe, like Us 'doty' houses, long ago passed away. Other southwestern Kansas towns which are wiped out of existence, and almost out of memory are BucknT. one, time county seat of Hodgmau county; Retreat ana Artnur, aiso nwp man county towns: Mount Nebo. Frait county; Painted Post. Barber county, Zamore, Oray county and Crooked Creek, Ford county. And the names of a hundred more might easily be added to the list. Prairie Owl Hoots Xo More. There was Fargo Springs for in stance, where less than a Quarter of a century ago, down on the banks -f the Cimarron, there stood a town of 1,000 people. It was a real town, wit.;i good sized business houses, and a news paper, the Weekly Prairie Owl. But the Prairie Owl hoots no longer, and Fargo Springs long ago went off the map. Pearlette. Meade county, was located about four miles west of Fowler. Ic also was a thriving town and also had a newspaper, the Pearlette Call.' But it called its last call many years agJ Bill Joblin. who ran 'he genera! mer cantile store hauled his good3 over land from Dodge City. Cash Oijsrency Is Gone. Cash City, another town off the map, was a thriving place on the Clark Meade county line. And Cash City also had a newspaper most of those live pioneer short-lived towns had newspapers. It was called the Cash City Currency. And there's Montezuma, down south west of Dodge City, which at one time had a railroad, as well as nearly 1.000 inhabitants. But the railroad was torn up, the houfs were, torn down and Montezuma is today deserted, with only the remains of the old railroad grade. Only Ghosts Remain. How many ghosts of towns there are in Reno county all through south western Kansas. Towns that once held bright futures; some worthy of being called towns. And now they are off the man, lit erally stricken from the face of the earth; many of them really forgotten. In Reno county alone there are of these ghostly towns of the past and of a past not far gone, either, for the "history of Reno county is told in a span of 4 0 years. THEY WANT PHOIIES. Utilities Board Hears Many Complaints From Depot Patrons. Every week in the year the old rail read board end the new utilities com mission have had a complaint filed from some town in regard to the rail road of that place refusing to maintain telephone service at the depot. The citizens complain of the inconvenience and the written story of their wrongs covers miles of paper and the docu ments occupy many filing cases and (lief shelves and boxes and closets in the commission offices. It appears to the general public as though the railroads are in the wrong in this matter. Every road, depend ing upon the patronage of the public as it does, it would seem ought to have a telephone in the depot for the bene fit of the townspeople. In most coun try towns the depot is located a mile, more or less, from the business sec tion. Trains are late half of the time. through no fault of the public. Most people naturally want to find out about their train before they go down to the little old uncomfortable depot. Merchants like to telephone about the receipts of freight, and who can blame them? Yet dozens and dozens of towns are complaining of the re fusal of railroad companies to keep telephones in their depots. It may be that the railroads have a side to their case, a reason for this petty economy at the cost of public convenience. But there is a general demand for some kind of general ruling on the part of the utilities commission that would do away with this constant complaint and condition of affairs. If the commis sion promulgated rules and regulations regarding the installation of telephones in country town depots, then the rules would fix the status of the case and constant complaints and eternal litiga tion of trivial character before the commission would cease. AMUSEMENTS Riding on an aeroplane with Lincoln Beachey via Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival at the Grand tonight and tomor row is an experience that imparts a feel ing of exhilaration that is difficult to de scribe. At first the scenes show a steady upward climb which is so realistic that some spectators usually grip their seats, but with the return of confidence that you are perfectly safe, comes the in satiable desire of all aviators for more speed more risk and this is gratified by1 the weird sensation of volplaning to earth. John King, one of the best known min strel end men and comedians, is again featured with George Evans' Honey Boy Minstrels this year.

After a run of nine months at the La Salle opera house, Chicago, Manager Harry Askin is to send Topeka the musical comedy "The Sweetest Girl in Paris." with Trixie Friganza as the star, and with a large company of capable players to the Grand Friday. This extravaganza is the work of three authors, that have many successes to their credit. "The Sweetest Girl in Paris" is the invention of Addison Burkhardt, who has written "The Runaways" and "Chow-Chow" and Collin Darts, who rewrote "The Three Twins." Mr. Burkhiy dt has prepared the dialogue; Mr. Davis the songs and rhymes, while the music is by that very popular writer, Joseph E. Howard, who has nearly a score of comedies to his name, among them being "The Time, the Place and the Girl," "The Land of Nod," and others. Direct from the Globe theater. New York city, John C.

John John son, the famous dog team driver, is marooned on the Siberian coast. He crossed over early in the fall to get Siberian dogs to enter in next year's all -Alaska sweepstakes race. The ice moving down from the Arctic drove away the boat on which he expected to return. Johnson's boat arrived here today with news of his plight. He will be unable to get back to Nome this winter. Johnson is one of the most noted drivers in the north. Driving Colonel Sir James Ramsay's team of Siberian wolves, he won the sweepstakes in 1910, and established the record of 76 hours, 10 minutes and 20 seconds for the 412 miles course. He drove, the Ramsay wolves in the race last winter but was stricken with snow blindness and had to drop out of the contest when only 24 miles from the goal.

The big coffee trust, made up of Brazilian growers and American importers, has been trying various tactics to boost the price of coffee and get more money from the people. Always the man who is trying to dig extra money out of the public pocket, on a combination, hates the man who blocks the game. Now comes a plaintive bleat from the "exasperated" ones. The Journal of Commerce lately said: "A stirring circu lar has just been issued to the coffee trade." The article further says: "The coffee world is discussing what is to be the future of coffee as a result of the campaign of miseducation car ried on by the cereal coffee people. We have before us a letter from one of the largest roasters in the South asking what can be done to counteract the work of the enemies of coffee. "The matter should have been taken up by the Brazilian Gov't when they were completing their beautiful valoriza tion scheme." 1l si cilsiyp) jam Brazilian. 1 Coffee Herbert Bethew Will Take Mr. Chase s Place With North Brothers.

The first matinee for mothers with babies under 3 years given at the Ma jestic Monday afternoon, will likely be the last for some time. Only a small audience was present. The babies cried continuously while the North Br03.' company acted against the cries as tney went through the rather emotional parts and dramatic situations of "Bar riers Burned Away." The management and company voted that considering everything it was too much of a strain and unless in the case some slap stick comedy is ever given, according to Harry North, manager of the company, it is improbable that the baby mati nee will be tried again.

Cor. 4th and Kansas Avenue THE GREATEST OF ALL CARTOONS il AND J jj Then tho article proceeds to de nounce Postum and works into a fine frenzy, because we have pub lished facts regarding the effect of coffee on some people. The harrowing tale goes on. "Where a few years ago every body drank coffee, several cups a day, now we find in every walk in life people who imagine they can not, drink it. (The underscoring is ours.) Burly blacksmiths, carpen ters, laborers and athletes have dis continued or cut down the use of coffee; as there is not a person who reads this and will not be able to find the same conditions existing among his own circle of acquaint ances, is it not well for the Brazil ians to sit up and take notice?" Isn't it CUrioUS these "burly strong men should pick out coffee to "imagine" about? Why not "im agine" that regular doses of whis key are harmful, or daily slugs of morphine? If "imagination" makes the caf feine in coffee clog the liver, de press the heart and steadily tear down the nervous system, bringing on one or more of the dozens of types of diseases which follow broken-down nervous systems, many people don't know it. But it remained for the man who has coffee, morphine or whiskey to sell, to have the supreme nerve to say: "You only imagine your dis orders. Keep on buying from me." Let us continue to quote from his article. "Notwithstanding the enormous increase in population during the past three years, coffee shows an appalling decrease in consumption." Then follows a tiresome lot of statistics which wind up by show ing a decrease of consumption in two years of, in round figures, two hundred million pounds. Here we see the cause for the at tacks on us and the Brazilian sneers at Americans who prefer to use a healthful, home-made breakfast drink and incidentally keep the money in America, rather than send the millions to Brazil and pay for an article that chemists class among the drugs and not among the fond p. Will the reader please remember, we never announce that coffee "hurts all people." Some people seem to have excess vitality enough to use coffee, to bacco and whiskey for years and apparently by none the worse, but the number is small, and when a sensible man or woman finds an article acts harmfully they exercise some degree of intelligence by dropping it. We quote again from the article: "These figures are paralyzing but correct, being taken from Leech's statistics, recognized as the most reliable." This is one of the highest com pliments ever paid to the level headed, common sense of Ameri cans who cut off about two hundred million pounds of coffee when they found by actual experiment (in the majority of cases) that the subtle drug caffeine, in coffee, worked discomfort and varying forms of disease. Some people haven't the charac ter to stop a habit when they know it is killing them, but it is easy to shift from coffee to Postum for, when made according to directions, it comes to table a cup of beverage, seal brown color, which turns to rich golden brown when cream ia added, and the taste is very like the milder grades of Old Gov't Java. Postum is a veritable food drink and highly nourishing, containing all the parts of wheat carefully pre pared to which is added about 10 per cent of New Orleans molasses, and that is absolutely all that Pos tum is made of. Thousands of visitors to the pure food factories see the ingredients and how prepared. Every nook and corner is open for every visitor to carefully inspect. Crowds come daily and seem to enjoy it. "There's a Reason" Postum Cereal Company, Limited Battle Creek, Michigan. Majestic. One pf the interesting and unusual feaures'f North Brothers presentation of "Barrier's Burned Away," Oeorge Middleton's dramatization of K. P. Roe's novel, at the Majestic this week, are the old fashioned gowns worn by Miss Genevieve Russell. .Some of them were loaned for the occasion and also donated, have been in the family of Mrs. George Foster of 1131 Tyler street for over three generations. The black lace shawl Miss Russell wears in the second act was worn by Mr. Foster's great grandmother "way down east." An olr fashioned black silk brocade, hand worked, worn in the third act by Miss Russell, given her by another friend, is nearly sixty years old. The brown silk poplin worn by her in the first act is from the Fos- j ter home. It is all hand shirred and tucked. All of the costumes in the j play, both of the men and women, are i cut after the style of 1871, the year of the great Chicago fire. T'pon this dis aster hangs the plot. The conflagra tion burns the barriers of property and wealth away which had existed be tween a poor young man and the rich girl he loves. The part of the girl, Christine Ludolph, was taken by Miss Russell. She had a difficult role, that of a young girl who constantly strug gled against family pride and differ ence of environment, whose soul was striving for expression although smothered and blinded by generations of wealth, whose heart, that of a true woman, pitted itself against love of man and love of art. And Miss Rus sell brought out all of this. The last scene in the third act, the climax, in which the Chicago fire is seen from the window of Ludolph's home, is a thriller. i With its heart interest, its quaint costumes, its comedy and drama "Bar- riers Burned Away" will doubtless be i remembered as one of the best plays 1 at the Majestic this season. i One of the largest Monday night crowds in the history of the theater saw the play. Novelty. "Hoot, mon" One of the comedy features of the show at the Novelty this week by Ro zell's minstrels is the burlesque of Scottish Highland costumes worn by black faces.

SIMPLIFY THE WORK Make It Easier for Federal Examinations. Other Items of General Interest in the Traffic World. The days of "Say-Bill-I-Would-Like-to-Get-a-Pass-to-Chicago" are over. Beginning the first of the year the At::hiKon, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company will establish, probably in Topeka, an office to be known as "superintendent of passes." This offi cial will pass upon and sign every auth orized trip or complimentary pass for the wives or other dependent members of the families of paid employees, be fore it can be Issued over any line. It is the plan of this oiKce to do away with the useless and careless granting of passes. The process by which an employee receives his pas3 will be loaded down by signatures and investigations. An employee will not be able to procure a pass without hav ing his requisition thoroughly fumiga ted. It will be necessary to plan ahe.ul cf time lor trips on account of the length of time it will take to have a pass approved. Under the terms of the existing laws complimentary trip passes may be Is sued by railroad companies to the de pendent members of the families of em ployees. At the present t me and for a long period it has been comparatively easy for an employee to obtain trans portation over his line or another after he has made the proper requisition. It did not take very long for his requisi tion to go through the office head and to the office of the general manager. A pass could be asked for and obtained in a brief time. Under the new rule it will be a dif ferent story. Under these rules it will take such a long time for a pass re- Suisition to pass through the offices and epartments that they will have to be asked for far in advance of the date. It will take sometime before the superintendent of passes is able to sign his name to the requisition. The Santa Fe is establishing this pass bureau in compliance with a gen eral order for all of the railroads of the country. In the past it has been a hard matter for the federal authori ties to make a satisfactory examina tion of the giving away of transporta tion. It is believed that tne work can be simplified by the new bureau. GIVES TO CONVENTION Union Pacific Gives $2,500 to Denver Get Into Polities joined by their families.

The example of the Union Pacific in tendering a voluntary subscription will be followed by other lines, in the opin ion of local railroad officials.

San Bernardino, Cal., .Nov. 7.- Fol lowing the customary policy, the Southern Pacific is caring for the men who enttrrd its employ following the walkout of part of the shopmen Sep tember 30 in the most thorough and up-to-date manner. H. V. Piatt, general superintendent of the southern district, returned yes terday from an inspection of the camps between this city and El Paso, including the branch line centers. "At all the camps we are following the same method pursued here," said Piatt. "We provide hot and cold water, shower and tub baths, a barber shop, individual wash basins, towels and soap and every other feature that contributes to sanitary conditions and the comfort of the men. We are tak ing as good care of them as though they were in their own homes, until such time as they can bring their own families.

Garden City, Kan.. Nov. 7. There is evidence that the Scott Northern railroad will be extended northward from Winona to Goodland and then to St. Francis. It has always been the intention of i the road, which grew out of Garden City in the form of the old Garden City, Gulf Northern two ynars ago, and which up to Scott is now a part of the Santa Fe, to go on north just as rapidly as possible. This is thought to be practically certain now. This would give a north and south railroad nearly across Kansas, pass ing live main lines of railroad Santa Fe. Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific, Rock Island and Burlington. The ter minus would be Belkelman, Neb., on the Burlington. The road would pass through the rich Republican valley, so susceptible of development. RAILWAY XOTES. Exact Copy of Wrapper. Thirty Georpe W. Ruhl, for nearly 50 years a locomotive engineer on the Baltimore division of tho Northern Central and just retired under afje limit, has a record of never being reprimanded for negligence, and never having an accident that injured a passenger or a member of a crew.

Something new has again been evolved in transportation. A water-carrying motor car, the-first of its kind in the world, has been placed in commission in Phila delphia by the Women's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals as a dispenser of water to thirsty horses. It operates where troughs are not available and any driver can stop it and get a bucket of water free. The interstate commerce commission has issued a new set of rules governing the issuing and recording of passes, which is to take effect on January 1, 1912. As the book contains two y-slx pages, lt can be understood that there is to be some detail about the pass business in the future. The mileage of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas was increased in October by about 450 miles through the purchase by the flawley Interests of the Wichita Falls Northwestern and the Wichita Falls Southern. Their mileage ia mostly in Texas, and it is reported that the road is to be extended north through Oklahoma to liberal, Kan. The Illinois Central railroad, through its president, Charles H. Markham, signed an order for 115 large all-steel cars. The contract calls for the expenditure of $1,500, 000, and provides for enough all-steel cars to equip every through train on the sys tem, running on the main line, with wreck-proof cars. Specifications have been issued by the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific for the construction of aproximately $1,250,000 of equipment, consisting of 500 automobile, 500 Rodger ballast and 250 flat cars and 25 cabooses.

"If Job had ever tackled the job I have been at all morning he would have lost his reputation," said the bird fancier. "I have been trying to teach this little rascal of a canary to fly down. I have not yet succeeded. He will fly up a little way and straight out, but not down. That is one big difference between a canary born in freedom and one born in captivity. Under the tuition of its parents the free bird will fly down as readily as up, but when left to his own resources or taught by a human friend the prisoner fears the down ward flight. If his cage hangs only a few inches from the floor, the little fellow peers down in trepidation. He distrusts himself, and fears a bump. The open spaces around and above seem not nearly so dangerous." New York Sun. Why I Lost My Job Reasons Why Thousands Like Me Cannot Satisfy Their Employers. I believe my fate is not unlike that of thousands of other workers who daily lose their rjlaces for reasons they do not know and probably would not believe. When their last pay envelope comes along, it Is usually. "Your ser vices no longer required." If the truth were known, the reason for their un ceremonious removal would probably be that their usefulness was destroyed because of some mental worry, bodily ailment or general indisposition. These things, as we all know, are the most fruitful causes of failure in all walks of life. The battle of Waterloo was lost because of a headache. In this quick age our minds must be clear, rapid, active and free from outside in fluences or worry, or else we go down to failure with the throng of "floaters" who go from one place of employment to another, giving no satisfaction to others or to themselves, constantly growing older and less useful, with no ambition, no will power, and no hope. Every man requires from every other man the best that is in him. But no man can use or get the best that is in himself until he is first free from all fretful indispositions and worries. That was my trouble. I was full of troubles. That's why I lost my job. My stomach in the first place was al ways out of order, and I was worrying about it and my mind grew cloudy, and slow. I made mistakes, and grew g-rouchy That was the end. There are thousands like me, going about with "quick lunch" faces, dys peptic manners, and repulsive atmos pheres No employer wants such man's services. Take my advice. A healthy stomach is half the battie, for it keeps your mind clear, and your face rosy. I have a healthy stomach now and hold a good position, and my employer is sat isfied and so am I. I started to take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which I was told were good for the worst cases of indigestion and dys pepsia. The first two tablets made a wonderful difference in my condition. I One ingredient of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digests 3,000 grains of food i The stomach doesn't have to work at j all. The Tablets do all the work, no matter how heavy your meal.

With the foot ball season drawing close to its final days, the eastern championship situa tion is more in doubt today than it has been in several seasons. Upset has followed upset, making the task of picking a likely champion mere guess work. Previous to the game against West Point, Tale looked to be about t'ne best of the Big Three. That game slumped the Yale stock and sent Harvard loom ing up big with its victory over Brown. Now Harvard has gone down to de feat before what was considered the almost hopeless Princeton eleven. Watch Out Saturday. Next Saturday's games will be full oi interest in view or tne unsettled cnammonsniD situation witn Yale against Brown; .frmceton taking the field against Dartmouth and the fa.r- lile Indians worrviner Harvard. As a matter of fact, the football championship may yet go to Yale. Har vard or Princeton. There are two ob stacles in Princeton's way, Dartmouth and Yale. Harvard to win back the title, must defeat Carlisle, Dartmouth and Yale Yale meanwhile beating Princeton; or it is possible for Yale to climb into the lead by beating Erowu, Princeton and Harvard. Princeton Not Yet Beaten. Princeton to date is the only un beaten team of the old Big Four. Moreover, she has had only 6 points scored against her as compared with Harvard's 8 and Yale's 9. But she has played weak teams throughout the early season, and her work last Satur day indicates that the Tigers must de velop a great deal before they can hope to cope with the finished Yale machine. The Tigers must develop attack; they had none worthy of the name on Saturday. DeAVitt's punting ability will be met in the Yale game with the superior toe of Howe and the BAKEll MAY PLAY AVESLEYAN. Missoui-i-Kanssis Championship May Be Stake. Baldwin, Kan., Nov. 7. It is quite probable that within the next few days a Thanksgiving football game will be scheduled to be played at Gordon Koppel park in Kansas City between Baker university and the Missouri Wesleyan university. Baker university has one of the strongest teams in Kan sas this year and is making a great bid for the state championship while the Missouri Wesleyan has one of the strongest teams in Missouri. The game would be played for the interstate championship of the Kansas and Mis souri colleges. The alumni of the two schools in Kansas City have been very much in terested in a prospective game between the two schools and have been at tempting to bring it about. Baker has four more games on its schedule. This week Baker plays the fast team of Fairmount college at Wichita. Then follow the William Jewell bunch and on November 21 Ottawa closes the schedule at Baldwin. A game with the Missouri Wesleyans would find the Baker team in the very best condition on Thanksgiving day. Baker has had only five points scored against the team this year and these were scored at Denver with the Denver university team. Baker played K. U. to a, tie score. A game with the Wesleyan univer sity at Kansas City would be a good drawing card for the two schools and would add a good sum to the athletic treasury. Both of the schools are con sidering the proposition and it is thought that within a few days the game will be scheduled. total of 9,196 points to her opponents' 465. Three hundred and seventeen games have been played altogether. Of this number, Yale has lost lo six to Princeton: four to Harvard; three to West Point, one to Columbia and one to Brown. ANSWERS YALE S. O. S. TVS AN ELEVEN COMBINATION. Many Big Elevens Will Meet on Grid Iron Saturday. Many hard fought games will be played by various football elevens on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1911. At New Haven the Sons of Eli meet Brown in a contest which will be a fight throughout. At Ithaca Michigan meets Cornell. At Princeton Dartmouth beards the Tiger in his den. These are only a few of the games wihch take place, but are among the most important. Not again in a century will a foot ball eleven play on the date written ll-ll-'ll. and not until December 12, 1912, will a like repetition of numerals appear when the date is written out in figures. It will then read 12-12-12. YALE ALWAYS A WINNER. In Twenty-Seven Years Team Has Scored 9,196 Points. New Haven. Conn., Nov. 7. An in teresting recapitulation of football at Yale has been prepared by one of the college statistical classes. It shows that in all the football games Yale has played since 1884, she has scored a Tom Shevlin, Former Captain, to Help Strengthen Team. New Haven. Conn.. Nov. 7. Tom Shev lin, Yale's former football captain and coach, is today on his way east to take charge of the coaching situation here. Shevlin's advent last year checked the Yale Route after the Brown deleat, mar shalled the disorganized Eli forces and swung them together in an attack that mowed down Princeton and outplayed Harvard. In Shevlin's gripsack are some new plays that will figure In the Yale repertoire during the final games of the season. "Billy" Heffelfinger, Yale's greatest guard, also has sent word that he will be here soon. He and Shevlin live in Min neapolis, the home of Harry Williams, coach of Minneapolis university and the father of the "tackles back" and the "tackles shift," formations. Close Gates for Season. Coincident with the arrival of Shevlin, the Yale eleven will go behind closed gates for the season and the field will not be open to the public except on two or three afternoons. The Yale coaches who watched the Princeton-Harvard game last Saturday maintain that the Princeton-Yale game will be the real championship contest of the year, and that defeat is much more likely then than in the Yale-Harvard battle. Yale's injured players are improving rapidly but at least three of the first string men are admittedly out of the game for the season. At the Yale ticket office, the official statement is made that the total Yale ap plications for the Yale-Harvard game at Cambridge are 18,000 which Is several thousand above any previous record. KLEIN TO HELP COACH TIGERS. Former '"narter Will Help Get Team Into- Shape. Columbia, Mo., Nov. 7. Eddie Kteiri, of St. Louis, former member of the Missouri State university football team, arrived here today to help coach the state university team. Klein came after he had received an urgent appeal from the athletic com mittee. He played a wonderful game at quarter last year. OberUn Wins From Atwood. Oberlin, Kan.. Nov. 7. In a closely contested game of football played here, the Rawlins county high school team was defeated by the Decatur county high school team by the score of 11 to a. Shot to Death by Mob.

Coach Driver last night at practice gave Warren Crumbine his old post tion at quarter back again, siiifted Mc Intyre to tackle and put jishop at end instead ot tackle, and pulled Lowe back irora end to left half. The work of Smiley at quarter against Kansas evidently boomed Crumbine's stock. The coach had seemingly rele gated Crumbine to the rear. He failed to get into the Kansas game at half. where he has been working, because of injuries received at Oklahoma. Smi ley failed Saturday both in generaling the team and in his individual efforts, No doubt a charley-horse received early in the game was partly, at least responsible but Smiley had fallen down in his form. Gains Made on Bishop. The Kansas line gains came through Bishop as the Washburn gains went through the Kansas right wing. M Intyre was no colossus at end and the shifting of the two probably will be of some benefit. Lowe has not seemed to develope into such an end as his speed would indicate and the coach may play him back at half, where he was start ed. The game this week on the local lot is with the State Normal school of JKm poria. The Normal defeated the Ag gies 3 to 0 and Washburn has both :t them to play. Fairmount beat ine JNor- mals 9 to 5 and beat -shburn 22 tf 0. That line of dope puts the Blue m the hole but since their good showing against Kansas, the Washburn men are expecting to whip the leacners. Closes Season With Aggies. A week from Saturday, Washburn Dlavs St. Mary's, which should be an easy game ana on -LiittiiK-asivms tiwao the" season with the Aggies. The puzzle to be worked out Satur day which is most interesting to this section is the Oklahoma-Kansas game. The Sooners thoroughly trounced Washburn down in the land of cotton and Saturday walloped Missouri 14 to 0. Bennie Owens has his bunch com ing fast and strong, and slashing through the line and off the end with old style methods which an open play defense has a terrible time in stopping. He is making great gains with the old-fashioned criss-cross. Kansas Must Ginger ITp. Kansas will have to show a great deal more ginger than it did here in order to meet the fast rushes of the Sooners and get going a lot sooner to make any ground themselves. Never-' theless, it is not safe to depend on Oklahoma's scores when it comes to the game with Kansas at Lawrence. For one thing, Oklahoma never has beaten Kansas and the precedent is hard to overcome in the minds of the players. Another thing is the fact that the game will be played on the K. TJ. field, where the Kansas squad seem all eyes for the loose ball and slips of the opponent. If there is any such thing as football luck and not all keen eyesight, then the K. TJ. men cer tainly have it. While the result of the Oklahorffa Kansas game will have a direct signifi cance of the chance of the outcome of the Missouri and Kansas game, it will be an invaluable lesson for Kansas in preparation for the Nebraska game a week from Sturday. The Cornhuskers come like demons this season and de vote a great deal of attention to knock ing great holes In the line along with fast end runs. The Oklahoma game is about the same sort of a hurried attempt to slaughter, and if Kansas can hold the Sooners, she will be in better form to handle Nebraska. "BAT" NELSON GETS DRAW. Colby, Kan., Nov. 7. The wheat yield in Thomas county was almost a fail ure this year, when the acreage was reported at about 168,000 acres.

Crumley, 16,400 bushels at Brewster; J. H. Davis, 7,600 bushels at Menlo;, home-grown seed sown 30,000 bushels: O. G. Benda, about 1,000 bushels at Halford; Carver Son, at Mingo, about 1,100 bushels. There are a number of others who re port smaller amounts. The large ac reage sown considering the failure this year is a surprise to our people. The ground is in good condition, and the late moisture promises to Bend the wheat prospects into the winter in ex cellent condition. SIX BROTHERS ARB GLVNTS.

This is followed by a stage drive of eleven miles through a perfect fairyland of tropical foliage the road being lined on either side with roses, magnolias and ferns FTER that long-sought goal the North Pole was reached a BTeat many people hurriedly Inquired, "What next?" A full answer has not yet been forthcom ing. We would like to gratify our curiosity regarding Mars, of course, and solve a number of other baffling riddles, but it must be confessed that there is not much likelihood that we can do so very soon. There is, how ever, one important realm in the un known, the mystery of which is even now being probed, by exploration, and the innermost secrets of which we may hope to see laid bare within a few years, thanks to the energy of Uncle Sam. The re-awakening of interest in the subject may be said to date from IS 82 when an Englishman of some position In the scientific world resumed the employment of kites for upper air ex ploration. It was not, however, until a dozen years later that a big step for ward was made and then the scene of activity had again shifted to this sid- of the Atlantic, to what is known as the Blue Hill Observatory located a short distance from Boston. Here work has been carried on ever since, largely due to the financial support contributed by the Smithsonian Insti tution. Dr. A. Lawrence Rotch, who has long been in charge at Blue Hill, at the earlier stages of his investi gations made use of kites exclusively, but later he "graduated" to the use of what are known as "sounding bal loons" by means of which he has been able to obtain records of temperature, air pressure and air currents ten miles ITS vvvivv, j J II! jf'-- ir El If rn atitoiiiitii :i-m II -vl v7 m El HJU Iff t-t Ill, II n. St LJ tit rs- Iff- die. This strange natural mine is source of wonder to the travelers, and they as well as the many scientists who visit there will spend hours wan dering about the sulphur beds and examining the beautiful yellow crys tals. The descent to the crater or lava lake which covers four square miles may be made either on horseback or on foot, if one has the strength. Un questionably the latter way is the most interesting, for the pedestrian i distant from the earth. The idea of the sounding balloons came to the Yankee students of the upper air from the French, who have been engaged in the same sort of in vestigation. These ballons they are now used more or less by all explorers in this field are small rubber balloons filled with gas. They might be com pared in principle and form to the toy balloons which delight children on circus day, except for the fact that one of these ballons ranges from five to ten feet In diameter, whereas the balloons for Juveniles never measure more than one foot across. As origi nally employed, and. to a great extent as yet used, each such balloon is set adrift with a small parachute attached to which in turn is suspended a bas ket carrying self-recording instru ments for automatically registering the successive temperatures which the sky i-oyager encounters. Such balloons are not held captive by string or wire as are kites but are allowed to ascend of their own free will. The result is that they reach higher altitudes. Indeed, they keep on ascending toward the stars until, if theory works out, the gradual les sening of atmospheric pressure coin cident with proportionate expansion of the balloon bag finally results in the bursting of the balloon when the limit of the tension of the rubber has been reached. When this occurs the tiny parachute unfolds and enables the precious instruments to drop slowly and safely to earth, to be returned to the anxious scientists in due time by persons who find the stranded sky voyager and are induced by an offer can go where it would be difficult, not to say dangerous, for a horse. Days and weeks may be spent in Studying the peculiarities of this great natural wonder. The lava lake is in a cavity of the mountain side with, walls on three sides about five hun dred feet high. Going down the steep trail cut out of the rock just below the hotel and then across the lava the great fire hole is reached. This is an excellent place to study the in ternal workings of Mother Earth, for here red hot lava sizzles and boils when gas accumulates, spouting up for hundreds of feet and forming fountains of fire. The fire hole is about fifteen hundred feet in diameter and its depths unknown. Many sci entists declare that it is bottomless. Huge rocks have been tossed in time after time but the sound of their strik ing bottom has never been heard. At times the smoke becomes so intense and the heat so great that no human being can remain on the edge longer than a few minutes at a time. The soles of the shoes of travelers have frequently been badly burned here. One must step lively, too, when As sures are crossed, for a terrific heat comes from these crevices. Earth quake shocks are frequent although of reward, if not their Interest in the research work, to return the parachute and its rider to the place of origin. Most interesting discoveries have been made by the private individuals and Institutions in the United States who have been endeavoring to draw aside the curtain from this portion of the unknown. It is expected however that more conspicuous progress will result from the entry of Uncle Sam Into the field. For one thing, the na tional government has, at its disposal, facilities that surpass anything hereto fore available. The Federal Labora tory for Upper Air Exploration is lo cated on the summit of Mount Weather, a peak in an isolated sec tion of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia, and inasmuch as this moun tain top has an altitude of more than 1,700 feet It can be realized that the official balloonists and kite flyers have the benefit of a handicap as compared with most other investigators. In other words, they have "a start" of 1,700 feet over the men who send out aerial scouts from ordinary locations. Although our authorities on the weather have no more than started to derive the full measure of benefit i t M S in recent years they have done little damage. When these occur great masses of hardened lava and stones slide into the fire pit from the sides of the mountain. On one occasion several years ago a young student was standing near the brink of the Are hole when the earth beneath him suddenly trembled. A friend who hap pened to be a little in the rear saw the stones loosen and grabbing the student by the coat dragged him farther back just as the rocks on which he had been standing fell into the seething lava. There is an Inde scribable fascination about this awful place which seems like a miniature Inferno, and nine out of every ten people who visit Kllauea will spend the best part of their time gazing into the smoky hole. Occasionally the wind will carry the smoke toward the ocean and the watcher is rewarded by a glimpse of the lava as it boils and bubbles. Before Kllauea becomes active there is always at least a slight earthquake shock which comes as a warning that the volcano Is going to give a pyro technlcal display. This warning is wired to the different parts of the Jsland and people at once hurry to the spot, for inside of twenty-four frwri the investigations at Mount Weather, It may be noted that already the little chroniclers carried aloft by tho balloons have discovered condi tions that have upset many accepted theories and will make it necessary to rewrite many of our school books. For instance, though the thermome ters that have been sent up have brought back evidence that it is as cold as 85 degrees below zero a few miles from the earth's surface, they have also secured evidence to refute our time-honored bel;ef that the at mosphere grows continuously colder the farther we get from the bosom of Mother Earth. It has been found, too, that such research in the clouds will almost invariably disclose storm conditions a full day in advance of their appearance at the surface of the earth. The upper air explorers at this out post twenty miles south of the quaint and historic town of Harper's Ferry, make extensive use of the little rub ber balloons above mentioned, and they have at different times sent out men to all sections of the country as far west as Omaha to release these tiny travelers so that upper air con- it? theZ,aw& hours fountains of hot lava are sure to rise out of the fire pit. When in eruption no pen can describe this magnificent natural wonder, and the sight of Nature's powerful forces at work creates an everlasting impres sion on one's mind. Unlike Vesuvius, Kllauea has very little ash and can be viewed with perfect safety from the rim above the lava lake, although venturesome persons prefer witnessing it from the bed of the lake. At night the scene is awe inspiring, for the heavens for miles around are lighted up by the reflection from the great masses of Are and red hot stones as they are thrown skyward from the pit. The lava lake is the work of cen turies, for there is no record of Kil auea's first eruption and as far as Hawaiian history can be traced, the lava lake of Kllauea was in existence, although it has, of course, had flows from the eruptions of. the past cen tury added to It. In one place on this unique basin, about a half a mile from the fire hole, there is a break in the black mass and a bridge has ditions over all portions of the coun try may be ascertained. Similarly, they send up kites when there is too much wind to risk ballooning and some of these kites have attained the highest altitudes ever reached by kites in this country more than 23,000 feet. However, the most spectacular of all their explorations is found in ballooning for weather secrets by means of what might be termed full fledged balloons in contrast to the dwarf rubber affairs above mentioned. m- The approved type of cloud climber employed is a spherical balloon of 9 05 cubic feet capacity. It is made of varnished cotton cloth and the .bal loon costs complete about $250. It will be understood that this form of explorer is alwayo employed as a cap tive balloon lnstef d of being released to pursue its own course as are the "free balloons" of rubber. In order to bring the balloon and Its instru ments back to earth when it is consid ered that its mission has, for the time being, been fulfilled, there is attached SS2 tZlG been built across the chasm. The gully, with its mysterious Assures, sug gests in appearance the crevasse of a glacier, but what a difference in temperature! Giant chimnes formed by lava dot the surface, great masses of the har dened liquid have been thrown up in peculiar shapes, some of them twenty five feet in height. The edges of the lav& here are very sharp and will cut through the heaviest shoes unless great care is taken in climbing them. At another place the flow has formed a perfect picture frame with a cave behind it, and it is quite the proper thing for tourists to climb into this place and for the time be framed In the queerest of nature's picture frames. "Pelee's Kitchen" (named in honor of the Goddess of Fire) Is one of the warm spots of the world, and only a few minutes can be spent there long enough to gather a few of Pelee's curls, hollow bits of lava which re semble a petrified coil of hair. The odor of sulphur is very strong in fact, sickening, and little whlsps of hot lava, which are constantly flying through the air, strike the traveler in the face, making things most un- comfortable. These bits are known as Pelee's hairs, and can be found several miles from the volcano when there Is an eruption. The whole set ting and atmosphere of Pelee's Kitch en are uncanny. Nearby Is a large cave about fifteen feet deep. The en trance Is made by descending a ladder where an apartment is reached which would hold twenty-Ave people. The floor is as flat and smooth as that of the cliff dwellers of Arizona. By the aid of a candle stuck in the top of a bottle the writer followed a Hawaiian guide for more than one hundred yards towards the fire pit we walked fiv f ?itow'.'.-w..w to the network of light rope that en meshes the balloon a piano wire line that is paid out as the balloon ascends and is reeled in when it is desired to draw the balloon back to earth. Of course, it would be impossible to rely upon human brawr. for this ar duous work and so the government has had constructed a monster reel of forged steel which is operated by a three horsepower electric motor. As a matter of fact, the mechanical bal loon tender now in place on Mount Weather is the third one of the kind which has been built specially for the United States government. The ter rific strain Involved when balloons were at great heights served to break In quick succession two cast Iron drums. In each case when 20,000 feet of wire had been paid out the pull proved too much for the anchorage; but now the balloonists have a forged steel drum capable of carrying fully 50,000 feet of piano wire and believe that they are prepared for any tugging on the line that may take place. Oc casionally the piano wire breaks when a balloon is aloft. The reel and other specially de signed mechanism provided to control balloons In flight is located In a "reel house" which is one of the oddest structures imaginable. This building, which is constructed largely of iron, and somewhat resembles a short but stocky lighthouse in its architecture, is located in the center of the balloon field, a level, cleared tract at the highest point of Uncle Sam's ninety acre mountain-top reservation. Another building of especial inter est in the $100,000 group of labora tories and other structures which crown Mount Weather is the balloon house which is located only a short distance from the reel house above mentioned. This stone and concrete j until the heat became so intense w were compelled to return to the open air. only to find our clothing very wet from the steam. At another point of the lava lake there is a crevasse which has become popular for scorching souvenir postal cards. These cards are placed on the end of a stick which has been split at the end. They are held out over the crevasse and In a few seconds they are brown and the holder uncomfortably warm. Every where the fiery liquid has formed it self into fantastic shapes and imoln may be seen rising from a hundred fissures. Many years ago Mauna Loa a well as Kllauea was in eruption and crop and homes were destroyed. The lava passed over the forests and plains in large quantities, which accounts for the lava moulds of trees. These great holes in the earth are lined with black stone-like stuff showing the exact size of the trees which It destroyed cen turies ago. In several places the lava must have moved among the trees, encircling them to their full thick ness. Many burned, but the larger ones chilled the lava so that It har dened around them, drying the outer rim. This then burned, leaving a small space around the tree which re ceived the still plastic lava and forced by the pressure of the liquid, a sheath was made around the tree. More pressure and more Durmng added to the thickness. Sometimes two or three trees were joined to gether by the lava. In time the dead j tops fell off, leaving a tall stump of coral-like substance. The winds car ried the soil and seed to the top of tree moulds until today several of them are crowned with vegetation, creating a beautiful effect. Kllauea was visited by Lord Byron In 1825. This was before the hotel was built and the party lodged In a Hawaiian hut. During the last twenty-five years the register of the hotel shows the names of hundreds of dis tinguished people from all parts of the world, many of whom have traveled thousands of miles to look upon thlH. the only active volcano under the American flatr. V.' jf v 1 I L.'i;.; structure cost, with Its equipment, more than $15,000. In addition to storage space of sufficient propor tions to permit the housing of a balloon fully inflated there is an engine, elec trical generator, etc., which supplies current for operating the balloon reel previously described, and for produc ing the hydrogen needed to Inflate the 11 ix 1 1 i.r 1 Lin. The Bummit of the Blue Ridge In this corner of the Old Dominion Is ad mirably suited to the difficult task of hnllnnnlnr, fnr -a-o ,K.. tr one thing it is so sparsely settled that there Is little danger of accidents as the result of loose wires falling when balloons are caught in a storm, and then again the surrounding count. for fifteen or twenty miles Is com paratively open, which facilitates the recovery of balloons or kites when they do break awiy. Prof. Alfred J. Henry, who Is at the head of the rather numerous body of scientluts who have gradually taken station at this retreat on the heights, is one of the ablest men in the service of the U. S. Weather Bureau. Prof. Henry, who has been a professional weather investigator since 1878, is the author of one of the best-known statistical works on American climatic condi tions. Under him are five experts who devote their sole attention to the bal loon and kite work. At the same Ume other Important research work Is In progress at Mount Weather, including significant investigations as to solar radiation, to gain knowledge of the effects of the sun's action upon weath er conditions. In short. Mount k Weather Observatory is the one re- 1 search station among the two nun- dred branch offices of the Weather Bureau scattered throughout the country, and it is proposed to give its Investigations the widest scope, I i

Everybody Rcaas the Stats Journal News of an out-of-town engagement that should have a place in the annals of events in Topeka, on account of its distinct local interest, has reached us. Mrs. Julius Goldschmidt of Milwau kee, Wis., has announced the engage ment of her daughter, Anita, to Mr. Floyd Taylor of Boston, Mass. The date and details of the wedding are not known here. Mrs. Goldschmidt is a sister of Mrs. Armin Weiskirch of Topeka, and has at various times been a guest at the Weiskirch home. Dur ing her visit a year or two ago she was introduced to a large number of so ciety people at a reception at which Mrs. Weiskirch was hostess. Anita is the younger daughter of Mrs. Gold schmidt and the late Julius Gold schmidt, consul general to the courts of Vienna and Berlin from the United States. As Miss Goldschmidt has lived most of her life abroad, her friends naturally expected her to marry a for eigner, but it seems that though she was an expatriate by circumstances, she was a good American at heart. Mrs. Albert Jones issued invita tions today for a tea which she will give at her home, 1247 Tyler street, Friday afternoon in honor of Miss Bet sey Kauffman of Columbus, O., who is the guest of Mrs. Guilford Dudley. The date for the wedding of Miss Ella Davis and Mr. Frank Griggs has been set for November 2 2. The mar riage was to have taken place the early part of November, but was postponed on account of the illness of Miss Da vis' brother. Mr. Dana Davis, who is now recovering from typhoid fever. Mrs. Guilford Dudley will entertain her bridge club Wednesday, November 15, in compliment to her guest, Miss Betsey Kauffman of Columbus, O. There is another story afloat about one of the recent dancing parties, and there have been a number of little by products of that dance that do not properly belong to the description of the party. But the man who tells this declares that at the time HE was rea sonably sober and that the narrative is as true and accurate as the multi plication table. One of the men who was a gtiest complained to him a num ber of times about the dancing floor, pronounced it "the rottenest collection of p.anks he ever tried to waltz on," and each time he mentioned it. his choice of English took on new strength and vigor. The historian saw abso lutelv nothine wroner with the floor. land he has been going about to dances years enough to make him a fairly critical judge. So when the disgrun tled guest mentioned the deplorable condition of the floor again, he looked him over to find what was amiss. "My good man!" he said, "look at your feet." The good man glanced down and then looked as sheepish as if he had stolen a calf. He was wearing his rubbers.

STANSFIELD'S Amid the brilliant throngs that make the evening life of a great city a thins of dreamlike splendor one sees so many beautiful women and beautiful, gowns that it requires something out of the ordinary to leave a clear and definite im pression upon the memory. Such a bit ol magnificence was the evening wrap with in whose sheltering folds hid the white shoulders of an exouislte auburn-haired woman who swept into Sherry's after the theater. Over a gown of ivory satin with soft lace and deep fringes, this won derfully pale, ruby lipped vision wore an evening coat of black velvet lined with apple green satin. The vivid lining showed in two deep revers, edged witn gold lace, in the puffings Inside the wide sleeves and the shirred lining of the boa of skunk fur which might be fastened about the throat or left open. Skunk fur also edged the full open sleeves, its darn tones contracting agreeably with the green facings. Over trie shoulders of the wrap lay a deep collar of gleaming gold lace with touches of silver, edged about with gold ball trimming. The cut of the garment wag most Interesting, displaying Those Pimple natural lines which as Tavla Graham Phillips observes "simple nature, somehow never achieves." It draped up from the lower edge as thouirh knotted about the hips like the scarf of a Spanish dancer. One rever fell in a long curve the full length of the front, while the other folded under a bit higher. All in all It possessed the hail mark of the French creation.
