Campbell, United States commissioner, is not only one of the most damaging pieces of evi dence against a rublic official, but un veils corrupt methods which Bryan declares have been practiced by state and county officials in the alleged en forcement of law. For months Bryan was on t' state's payroll as a spotter in liquor cases. He was said to be a valuable man to the state administra tion and furnished evidence that led to several bis raids by assistants and dep utes from the state house. It was while engaged in this work that Bryan was thrown in touch with Krr.est li. Simon, county attorney of Shawnee county. At that time Simon wanted a "good man" to work in the local field Bryan seemed just the man. He was a colleague of Rev. Robert Nor ri. who a few days ago declared he had recently located 40 joints in To peka. Bryan listened to the proposi tion which Simon presented and went to work. Buys Liquor for A'iolators. To Bryan. Simon proposed, he said, that the spotter ship liquor into To Ttka in wholesale quantities and that it be sol.1 to the retailers in case and barrel lots. It was all a new. myster ious deal to Bryan, to whom oimon ex plained that he would be better en able.! to enforce the law in Shawnee county and himself employed the spot ter to violate a few laws. Bryan was instructed to furnish Simon with a list of tlie nair.es of people to whom he sold the liquor. Then Simon proposed to put a new set of spotters on the he Is of these men and gain evidence that would send them to jail and inei dout,'lly bring Mr. Simon manv fees Tor mjimi f.ons and liquor prosecutions. i.ry; s story shows that it was all a very autiiul system.

Neither did Mr. Dawson attempt to explain to the temperance union that when Rev. I Norris, a minister of the gospel, was able to buy liquor in forty places in Topeka that perhaps a red nosed na tive of the North side might readily find four times as many places where beer and whiscv was for sale. Neither did Mr. Dawson attempt to explain to the State Temperance union that pos sibly when Mr. Norris bought liquor in fortv places in Topeka that he was only testing one of the lists which Bryan had turned over to Simon and was unkoowingly finding a lawless ele ment that Simon himself had schemed to create. flails to Get Vnited States Tjicense. Before the real trouble came, Bryan had turned over to Simon 70 names of parties who bought Bryan Sr Simon beer and whisky. Then suddenly something happened. In his haste to build up a great record as an aggres sive law enforcement official and re former Simon, the lawyer, had him self forgotten something. It was the mere formality of buying a govern ment liquor license. Of course Mr. cimnn had no use for a license in his .omo Tt misrht even have been embarrassing for an official spotter of the state administration to nave uu i ed such a document. None the less it was this little oversight or undue caution that caused trouble. to- I The federal officers gathered in Mr. Bryan. He w as anaisucu u.v.

Thn Daw-son himself rushed to the feder-,1 turidina. Hastily he wasneci hii hands of the impending trouble, lie refused to protect the man of v horn the state and county adminis tru'onn had made a tool and he would not provide a bond for Bryan's ap nearanci in court. Bryan Tells It All. Then Bryan exploded. lntler oath he told the sensational details of an affair, which on the face looked open, honest and above board; but which under the cheap veneer showed a honeycombed compact not alone to enforce the law, but to gain the plaudits of public favor and capi talize the criminal statutes for per sonal gain by an unfair and unprofes sional practice. Here is- Brvan's own story of njs experience as a state and county spot ter: Bryan's Sworn Statement. "I am now and have been r. resident of Topeka, Kan., since January, 1911. I am now and have been for the past six weeks agent for a Life Insurance company. I am 3 0 years of age. My family consists of myself and my wife.

At Dodge City the mercury stood at 4 be low. The longest period of cold and deep snow known in many years has, according to reports, caused great loss of live stock, frozen or starved to death on the ranges. West of Great Bend train service on branch lines has been completely blocked for more than a week and iso lated towns are crying for aid. Diffi culty has been experienced in keeping the through railway lines open to traf fic. Supplies among the farmers west of Great Bend are reported still plen tiful, but liable to give out if the snow remains much longer. A force of 300 men is working day and night in an effort to rescue a stranded freight train and open the branch line to traffic. Temperatures in Oklahoma and Texas were considerably lower than yesterday. 12 degrees being recorded at Oklahoma City and 18 at Fort Worth. A drop was shown In Nebraska and Iowa.

WERTSJAY DIE Well Known Topeka Pioneer Grocer Badly Frozen. Found Suffering in Cellar by a State Journal Reporter. IS HIS MIND GONE? When "Roused He Mumbled In coherently About Business. Refuses to Permit Doctor to Treat Him. James Werts, one of the oldest busi ness men of this city, was found badly frozen in a house at 716 Lime street today. He was formerly engaged in the grocery and feed business at 533 Topeka avenue, but sold the property recently and moved to the house where he was found by a State Journal re porter. He was .lying on the floor in the cellar without any bed or without covering and it is believed that he has been frozen to such an extent that he cannot recover. Mr. Werts is 81 years old. He and his belongings were moved to 716 Lime street by John Combs an expressman whom he has known for a number of years. Mr. Combs, who Is also an old man, helped Werts set ud a stove and left him Wednesday afternoon. Noth ing had been seen of him until today. Mr. Combs drove to the house to see Mr. Werts on business and for a social call but could not find him. His disappearance was reported to the police and an investigation started. He was found back in a dark corner of the cellar lying between old boxes and sacks of rubbish which he has accum ulated through years of an eccentric life. He was barely able to talk and he spoke incoherently. Nothing could be learned from him. He refused to permit a doctor to be called or to re ceive any assistance of any character. Treated a Police Station. However the police wagon was called and lie was taken to the police station hospital for treatment. Later he was removed to a hospital. His feet were frozen solid. He was numbed from the long exposure. There wre wounds on his head, which indicate that he had fallen, striking his head on a box found near him. There was no Indication of foul piay. ie was wearing his spectacles as usual when found. He was unable to move. He was treated by Dr. James Stew art, the city physician. Mr. Werts has been a resident of Topeka a number of years. He was engaged In the grocery business at 535 Topeka avenue more than twentv years ago and continued in this until about eight or ten years ago, when he sold out and became interested in the feed and hay business at 533 Topeka avenue. He continued in this until re cently, when he sold the property to Dr. Heatheriy. It is reported that Dr. Heatherly will remove the old build ings and erect a garage on the lots. August Palm "Bled" Him. Mr. Werts has been associated with August Palm for a number of years, during which time the latter got from his friend considerable money. The last offense of this character occurred more than two years ago and was one of the deals that resulted in the con viction of Palm on the charge of ob taining money under false pretenses. He was sentenced to the penitentiary. Palm was recently paroled and is now working in Topeka. Palm was for merly a contractor. (Continued on Page Two.) ONE BY ONE ANCIENT LANDMARKS GO By John T.

Don't Be a Hermit Is Admoni tion of Club Member. The fact that every citizen of To peka is a stockholder in the city cor poration and should consider his In terests personal is the latest appeal sent out from Commercial club head quarters in the newspaper advertise ments for increased membership. The Commercial club is preparing a cam paign for 700 additional members bringing the total membership to 1, 200. Advertisements in the daily pa pers written by club members begin the campaign. Thursdav mornino- January 11, the committees start out on the streets for their 700 loyal To pekans. In the ad in the State Journal this evening Luther C. Bailey, points out one of the real selfish reasons why a man should Join the Commercial club and assist in building up the city's in- austries and advantages. Mr. Bailey moral and yJlysical eTements involved in goes right down to bed rock.

In this age he has fallen into a selfish regard for himself and family. If one third of the energy could be donated to the upbuilding of his city, the town would grow by leaps and bounds. The Commercial club isn't asking for 700 men to dig moats or build walls and protect gates. It is asking 700 men to join the club, donate a small fee only an hour's work repre sented to some and then watch the results. If this is successful the city walls will have to be constructed of elastic. Loyalty to Topeka is a habit after you once try it. The Commercial club guarantees this habit. Weather Indications.

Woodrow Wilson Maltes an At tack on the Tariff In a Speech Before the National Democratic Club. IS PARAMOUNT ISSUE Ofthe Approaching Presidential Campaign He Declares. Says It Is Not Based on Any Principle Whatever. New York. Jan. 4. Governor Wood row Wilson, of New Jersey, addressed the Natio;.l Democratic club here last night on the topic: "The Democratic Party and the Tariff." Once again, Mr. Wilson said, the tariff had become "the chief and most critical question of a campaign which must decide the poll cy oi our government, not only in this g;eat matter, but in regard to a score of things which touch the general ad justments ot our life." He coitinued in part: "Our tariff policy has not for several generations been based upon any prin ciple whatever, but only upon a system ot favoritism, ot patronage, or arbitra ry fosterage by the federal govern ment. "The strength of American industry lies in the tkill and intelligence of the Americm workman, ai.d the capacity of American superintendents and mana gers; and the efficiency and glory of 1 I UK VV (IrKin 1 TTl H Ti i 1 1 f f 1 1 1 111)4171 H.1I LIlt3 efficient rams ana lactones. iuey weie probably put into the combination at a rigure greaciy exceeuiug meir real value. Profits on Watered Stocks. "Thia figure enters into the issue of the securities of the corporation; the profits must be made upon those fig ures if the stockholders are to get divi dends; and so the country must carry for an indefinite period inefficient es tablishments which have been actually closed and put out of business. Aiid this very process itself shows the fu tility of any attempt to base duties upon 'cost of production.' "Whn America was in her infancy; when her resources were undeveloped; when her industries were at their be ginning; there was much to be said for a system of artificial stimulation and protection. But long after that period was passed, and that reason for the maintenance of the system of protec tion cut away, it was maintained upon other theories and with ot'ier purposes, and it has grown until It has become a veritable incubus, not merely upon the consumer, but upon the business of the country itself; and on it have been built up great combinations and monopolies, which have drawn upon themselves universal condemnation. "We are rich enough, we are safe enoi-gh in our prosperity, we are sure enough of our capacity, or our skill, of our resourcefulness, to set ourselves free at last. Taxation must never be used for the benefit of some at the ex pense of others. The power of the government must never be loaned to those who can not sustain themselves. The only legitimate object of taxation is revenue for the support of the government." HOOK IS NOT OUT 1'rlends Still lielieve Tliat He Will Be Named. Washington, Jan. 4.

It Is said that the president express ed an opinion that he was not in favor of the kind of judicial recall expressed in the protests and that It would be a great injustice to any judge to punish him for giving an opinion oased upon the evidence and facts as presented to him. The president remembers that Governor Hughes vetoed a 2-cent fare bill in New York state, and he be lieves that if, after investigation. Gov ernor Hughes found that such a rate t -i: S t 1 r Whose Friends Say That He Will Be ApjK)iiitel Soon to Supreme Bench. would be confiscatory there, Judge Hook certainly had grounds to make the same ruling so far as Oklahoma was concerned, escpecially as Oklaho ma is so sparsely settled as compared to the Empire state. It is almost certain that Judge Hook's nomination will be sent to the senate by January 12. George W. Wickersham, attorney general, is ex pected back in Washington January 10, and it is believed that the entire lot of judicial nominations will be sent In shortly after that.

Mr. Stahl said that was a phase of the game that they had not been able to reach. Ha then called Mr. Zumwalt on tha phone, making arrangements for me to meet him, telling him that 1 could put them in touch with a phase of the game that they had not been able to reach. I met Mr. Zum walt at the suggestion of Mr. Stahl, and was introduced to him by Mr. Stahl at the office of the State Tem perance union. I think it was the fol lowing day. This was early in Jan uary. 1911. T "I repeated to Mr. Zumwalt what I had told Mr. Stahl with reference to the manner and means used by whole Bale liquor houses in shipping liquors Into prohibition states to express of fices. Mr. Zumwalt was of the opinion that this was being done in Kansas and thinking the matter of so much im portance, he said he would take it up with Attorney General John S. Daw eon and in a couple of days he took me to the attorney general's office and Introduced me to Mr. Dawson. I then after meeting Mr. Dawson repeated to him what I had told Mr. Stahl and Mr. Zumwalt. Mr. Dawson said he was of the opinion that the officers of the different express companies were conniving with the agents to vio lato th, nrohibitorv law in this way and gave me employment to collect this evidence, at a salary of $25.00 per week and expenses. Many Bright Prospects. "In a conversation with Mr. Zum walt and before my employment by Mr Dawson I told Mr. Zumwalt that I was working in a restaurant for my meals and lodging at the Provident association, also that having been in the liquor business was a detriment to securing employment. Mr. Zumwalt then stated that if he could secure me employment with Mr. Dawson that I would be in with the best and most influential people in the state that Governor Stubbs was sure to be the next United States senator and that Mr Dawson would most assuredly go to congress, and I could then secure a good federal position through the influence of Mr. Dawson and Mr. Stutbs and that I would in that way get away from the whisky business. I was so much pleased with my pros pects as stated by Mr. Zumwalt and after having secured employment with Mr Dawson I wrote my sisters tell ing them of my good fortune and my brilliant prospects. "After securing my employment with Mr Dawson. I received a letter of in structions from him which was in sub stance, that I should secure evidence against parties violating the prohibi tory law and to go where ever I saw fit within the state of Kansas and to Kan sas City. Mo., for the purpose of secur ing this evidence. In pursuance of my instructions given me by Mr. Dawson. I started out to procure evidence along the lines suggested In my interview with Mr. Zumwalt and Mr. Dawson against the express agents. I first went to Kansas City.

I worked for Mr. Tiawann at this time for about two months, beginning the middle of Jan narv. and I made weekly reports to Mr. Dawson of my work. I quit work for Mr. Dawson at that time because he told me that his contingent fund was exhausted and he had no more money to nav me at that time. "During the time I was working for Vr. Dawson it was suggested hv Mr. Zumwalt that I go out as a whiskey drummer and take orders for liquor in order to secure evidence against the Jolntists. express comnanips and the hanks who were handling bills of lad lnsr for shipments of intoxicating liquor. About that time the Temperance Union wishing to secure evidence as-ainst the Topeka club, Mr. Zumwalt told me he had consulted Mr. Stahl and for me to order a whiskey sample case and try to pell whiskey to the Topeka club, and also to sell whiskey generally through the express agents, as by shinpinsr It as previously mentioned, also to parties prettinar shipments with bills of lading through the banks, and to turn in nn expense account to Mr. S-tahl for the $2 l was to pay Tor the sampe case. ana sii"n otner necessarv expenses as I might Incur ln connection with nny evidence against the Topeka club.

discharged because they had learned that I had been in the employ of At torney General Dawson. During my employment by Danciger Bros. I was to receive from them $100 per month and expenses, provided the business which I obtained for them amounted to $2,400 per month. During my em ployment by Danciger Bros. I procured orders for the shipment of beer and whlskv from Danciger Bros, to persons here in Topeka engaged as retail liquor and malt dealers. This was done for the purpose of turning over the evidence obtained to Mr. Dawson, which I did. Simon Has a Job. "After my discharge from Danciger Bros. I reported to Mr. Dawson that I had been discharged and was out of employment, when he suggested that I see Governor Stubbs and that he would give me a letter to the governor, also the county attorney, Mr. Simon. A few davs later I furnished Mr. Dawson with a list of names of those engaged in the retail liquor business in Topeka, including those who I had sold to dur ing mv employment by Danciger Bros., as well as others. A few days later Mr. Dawson told me to furnish the list of violators of the prohibitory law which I had procured to Mr. Simon, county attorney, and to ascertain if Mr. Simon had any work for me to do. I then called on Mr. Simon, county at torney of Shawnee county, and was engaged by Mr. Simon to continue to secure the location of jointists and to procure the names of those seen drink ing in these places, also to discover the methods used by the local wholesale dealers and representatives ui xo.i.a City liquor houses." Tn this work, as it was very uuu- cult to secure this evidence, it was sug cm in the talk between Mr. Simon and myself that I should have whiskey and beer shipped in to Topeka in large quantities so I could be regarded as a local wholesale aeaier ana iuai ijui- chasers could at all times procure whiskey or beer from me tor retail pur poses by paying the amount of the sight draft and thereupon securing the bill of lading thereto attached. Mr. Simon paid me $15 in advance for one week's work. My week s salary ot Hj was paid to me in advance by Mr. Simon to enable me to pay my mam bill. Furnishes Money. Afterwards I told Mr. Simon, county attorney, that as I was not well known to the brewery it might be possible that they would refuse to ship beer to me in lartre Quantities, unless i. couia muite a deposit to guarantee the freight, pro vided the goods were not taKen out. Afterwards Mr. Simon advanced me $20 to be used in this way or to be used for incidental expenses in procuring evi dence. Later he advanced me Js to ouy a case of beer of Ed Hosfeldt of io- peka, Kansas. The above amounts or $20 and $5 were used by me to meet incidental expenses, such as buying treats of intoxicating liquors from re tail liquor dealers in Topeka in order to find where they kept their liquor stored and conducted their places of business, which evidence was turnea over to County Attorney Simon. Each of the amounts or szu ana a above mentioned were advanced to me by check on the Central National bank of Topeka, Kansas, juy recoiieciion is that I turned over to Mr. Simon, also to Mr. F. M. Stahl of the State Tem perance union In connection with my efforts in this respect, in the neigh borhood of about seventy different places where Intoxicating liquors were sold in Topeka. Bought in Iargc Quantities. "During my employment by Mr. Simon, In accordance with our under standing that I have liquor shipped in here in large quantities, I at one time had shipped from Val Blatz Brewing company, Kansas City, Mo., 1 think during the latter part of May, 25 bar rels o beer in quart bottles, and 25 cases of beer in quart bottles. At about tha same time I had shipped from Morrin Powers Mercantile com panv. wholesale liquor dealers of Kan saa City, Mo., seven casea of whisky consisting I think of 4 cases of 48 half pints each and three cases of 2 4 pints each. Of these shipments I think there waa two barrels, of beer and four cases of whisky taken out and dispos ed ot in the following manner: The bills of lading were sent to the Mer chants National Bank by the whole sale dealer with a draft attached. There was a separate bill of lading for each five cases of beer with draft at tached and a separate bill of lading for each barrel of beer with a draft attached, and a separate bill of lading for each case of whisky. "The liquor that was taken out and disposed of, as near as I can remem ber, was two barrels or Dottiea Deer, iz quarts each, and I believe four cases of whisky, two cases of 24 pint bottles and two cass of 48 half pint bottles. I did not dispose of more than one case of whisky to one person at an one time. I would go to the bank with him, h-J would deliver the money to me to pay for the liquor and the exchange on the draft. I would then pay the bank this money and the bank delivered the bill of lading to me and I turned it over to the customer. Doubled the Order. "When tlle aDOVe amounts were taken out and disposed of the time limit fixed by the dealer had expired and the balance of the shipment was returned to the wholesale dealer at Kansas City. I then reported the fact to Mr. Simon that these shipments had been returned to Kansas City, and that so far I had been unsuccessful in se curing the particular evidence that he wanted against the local wholesale dealers. It was suggested by him that I get another shipment of liquor and try again. "I then ordered from Heim Brewing company, at Kansas City, I think 25 barrels and 25 cases of beer, this order was through an error In some way doubled, 25 barrels and 25 cases being sent to North Topeka over the Union Pacific under one bill of lading and one draft for the entire amount, which bill of lading and draft was sent to the Citizens State bank of North Topeka., Kansas; and 25 cases and 25 barrels were sent to Topeka, Kansas, over the Rock Island, with one draft and one bill of lading sent to the Merchants National bank, Topeka, Kansas. I no- titled Heim Brewing company by wire to mail separate bill of lading, with sieht draft attached, to cover eacn barrel and case separately. These bills of ja(jing were mailed to the bank as per my Wjre. j notified the Merchants National bank to return their drafts as T did not care for them, and of the shipments sent to North Topeka I think 'anshe cotrsts one of it, most Lxitrie vd v. d disposed of ln the manner al- read descrYbed. I think that this c s th entJre amount taken out and djsposed of a the rest being returned t th rat nn nf the time limit nxea bv the dealers. r. I hv rhp rtpn pra. "About this time I again entered the employ of Attorney General Dawson. I think on the 29th day of June- I was sent to Hutchinson to secure the lot and block numbers and the owners of build ings at locations where the attorney gen eral had information that there was In toxicating liquors being sold, also any other information that I could find in reference to any other joints. I then re turned to Topeka on the 6th day of July. 1911. and on the night of July 7th I was sent by Mr. Dawson to WaKeeney, Kan sas, especially to buy liquor from Henry Mevers, the proprietor of the Central hotel. Mr. Dawson said he had previous ly had information that Mr. Meyers was selling liquor. I then investigated a Tr-ovo t se.nt to T.eavenworth by i harge at oaKley ana on reiunuuis Mr. Dawson and was furnished with a list nf retail and wholesale dealers in vi r- Haw nnri whs furnished with a I Leavenworth. This list was furnished to me by J. P. Coleman, office assistant in the attorney general's office. Securing the desired evidence at Leavenworth, I returned to Topeka and was sent to -chison by Dawson but secured no evi dence there. The House Affair. "Prior to having been sent to Leaven worth I was sent by Mr. Dawson to Erie, to ascertain whether or not the club at which J. E. House, one of the editors of the Topeka Capital, claimed he had seen cnu nmr tii Visii- was located there. William Muirhead. a brother-in-law of Mr. Dawson, was sent on the same mis sion I believe one day prior to the day on which I was sent. Both Muirhead and myself reported to Mr. Dawson the re sult of our investigation. "The above constitutes my entire con nection with the liquor business, under the direction of the attorney general, John S. Dawson, and County Attorney Simon, and states truthfully the purposes and reasons for which I was connected with it. and I wish to state that it waa not and never has been my intention to engage in the sale of intoxicating liquors in "violation of law or otherwise. That if anything I have done in this connection amounts to a sale of liquor in violation of the revenue law, or any other law, I did not know it at the time, in fact never thought of it. Funds Were Short. "I left the employ of Attorney Genera: nJttur.T, uiwint Auerust 1. because Mr. Dawson stated that his contingent iuu period of stagnation which of $10,000, which he could draw upon to nked the passing of the old wood-en pay for special services was again run- n,aakrkedInPadrif?ed for a time into TUrrfy cnH-i.y pursuits, although never re.in n. r.

"In conclusion I wish to state that be jre having liquor shipped in to Topeka to be disposed of under Mr. Simon s di rections that I consulted Attorney Gen eral John S. Dawson, and he informed me that it was all right for me to do whatever Judge Simon directed in this respect, and that it would be all right with him. C. M BRYAN."

"I cannot get my breath." he said, and sank back. At 4:45 o'clock he died, conscious to the end. At the bedside at the time of his death were his wife, his daughter, Mrs. H. I. Sewall. and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Frank T. Evans, wife of the ad miral's only son, a lieutenant comman der in the navy, now on duty on the torpedo boat destroyer Monahan at Boston. The only other member of his immediate family who was not present was his daughter. Mrs. Marsh, wife of Captain Charles C. Marsh, command ing the armored cruiser North Caro lina. The news spread with great rapidity and caused a profound shock In official circles. resident Taft was one of the first to express his grief and condolence. He said: Tribute From TafL "Admiral Evans was one of the most successful squadron commanders we have had in the navy for a long time, He was a rigrid disciplinarian, pf quick decision and admirably advised In tne intricacies of the machinery of cruisers and battleships, and skilled in drilling them. I am very sorry to hear of his ueawi. Admiral Dewev was so overcome that he could utter but a few words. "I am shocked beyond measure at the sudden death of my life long friend. Admiral Evans vas all he could say. Secretary Meyer paid this tribute to the officer's memory: By the sudden death of Admiral lv- t n p countrv loses one Sejant and able officers S of his abillS that JiL??

h bad kent nr his active interest in the service and his unexpected death came as a shock to the navy." Farmer Secretary of the Navy Met calf, who happened to be in Washing ton, pointed out that he had himself given Admiral Evans the command of the Atlantic fleet in its cruise around the world, the choicest assignment ever extended to an American naval officer ln time of peace. Efficient and Capable. "He was practically an ill man when he was selected for this important duty," said Mr. Metcalf, "but his splen did record Justified the department m giving him this recognition of his long and efficient service. He was one or tne most efficient and capable officers the navv has known and his na navy has known and his name has been a household word for many years. One of the iron links that bound the old navy to the new, a commanding figure in each, was Robley D. Evans. He did not take kindly to the sobriquet of "Fighting Bob," for although of gruff exterior, he was a man of the kindliest impulses. Thus it never was used in his presence by his friends. But his dauntless courage in times of great emergency; the grim determina tion with which he faced overwhelm ing odds and the stoicism with which he bore his wounds and gazed un flinchingly in the face of death, made the title so appropriate that as "Fight ing Bob" he was known wherever the English language is spoken. Evans was a mere boy when he was sent to the naval academy at Annap olis. Before he had got far with his studies the Civil war broke out and, throwing his books to the winds, he went to sea and was assigned to block ade duty. It was in one of two at tacks made by the northern navy on the powerful defenses at Fort Fisher, N. C. that young Evans received the wound through the thigh that made him a cripple for life. He suffered three other wounds, but as soon as he was discharged from the hospital he again plunged into the fighting and served until the end of the Civil war with great credit. Back in the Service. With the ending of the. war there vice. In fact, as soon as congress made known its purpose to meet tne insistent demand of Secretaries cnan dler and Whitney for a renovation of the American navy, Evans came back into the service and was one of the leading spirits in planning the rudi ments of what is now the American modern navy. It was Evans who took the little dispatch boat Dolphin on a, cruise around the world to test the structural strength of this first product of the infant steel shipbuilding art of the I'nited States. He always got the best ships and the newest because his su perior officers knew he could be trusted to handle them safely and de velop their strong and weak points. It happened that with the gunboat Yorktown he dropped in at "Valparaiso, Chile, in 1891, and found an opportun ity tr. Hiar.lav all of the determination nnd rnura.se he possessed. Some of the American sailors had been mal treated and murderously assaulted ana Fv9r. felt it his dutv to demand pro- tftion and reparation. The odds ao-ainst him were grotesquely large. The tiny Yorktown lay in the harbor untie- the guns of the wnoie unuean fleet, yet Evans never faltered, but ocirrioa nut his! purpose and sailed away triumphantly with his colors fly ing and the band playing the Ameri can national air to the accompaniment of sullen salutes from the Chilean forts and warships. tt not a Battleship, A few busy years engaged in duty iho fonstructlon board which lonnofl the modern battleships and cruisers and in several long cruises to ,it the result of his brain work on the high seas brought Evans then a nnn,nnlir to the ooenmg ui uio cmnit,i. a rvusripnTi war. He wanted battleship and he got one, one of the best the Iowa which represented the latest product of the American shinvards. -ttt-v rtn-flra'c fldpt made its Tatal dash through the blockading shins off Santiago on July 3. 1898. Captain Evans ship took a notable part in the RO-mile running fleht that followed. For his eallantrv in this action he received the thanks of coneress and was promoted. a., o fn flertsred rear admiral, Evans was called on to take the Atlantic fleet Gmnna the world and how ne was se lected has already been told by former Secretary Metcalf. That brilliant achievement, the first cruise of an mored fleet of that size and power, fully tested Admiral Evans' ability as an organizer and a commander. All the nublie knew was that 10 uaiuw 'M" y V i oc nnn miio cruise- thev 'had made the 25.00n-mile eruise. tney i imap-iTin what that meant to the directing mind of the fleet, of the many hours of anxiety spent in pouring over charts ot naroors mhu "i planning for supplies for fuel and food and of keeplne- together in contented and happv mood the thousands of men who made up the crews of the war ships. Bv the time he had reached San Francisco, the strain had become so v. t Ina-ira ni a severe tnat ne was uuauw V bed and it was necessary to relieve mm fwnm tho command at that place. Active dutv terminated for Admiral Evans at that point. It is true, he did not go on the retired list until a few months afterwards, but never again was he called upon to direct the move ments of a ship or a fleet. He retired to his quaint, old-fashioned home in this citv. and surrounded by his familv, snent in harniness the few remaining vears of his life. His leisure gave him opportunity- to execute his long cher ished idea of telling some of his won derful experiences, and these he had set out in some books which are to be found in the libraries of every Ameri can naval vessel and wherever men like to read of srallant exploits on the sea. The funernl will be held Friday. Tt is expected that Admiral Evans will be buried ln the National cemetery at Arlington with full naval honors. PliANS FOR ITM'KAL.

Following are the striking incidents in the dead admiral's career: Received baptism of fire at battle of Fort Fisher January, 1865, at the age of 18. Wounded four times by Con federate sharp shooter, but managed to kill sharp shooter. Lay exposed to enemy's fire in watery ditch for five hours three men who tried to rescue him being shot down in his sight. Fought against amputation of injured legs and re-entered navy In 1867 after undergoing operation in Philadelphia to avoid retirement for disability. Got name of "Fighting isod oy res cuing party of Americans from Chilean mob at Valparaiso in 1891. Commanded battleship Iowa in bat tle of Santiago, took leading part in destruction of Spanish fleet and with his own hands pulled Captain Viscaya from water to deck of Iowa, gallantly refusing to accept Spanish captain's surrender of his sword. Was selected by President Roosevelt to lead battleship fleet in famous cruise around the world, but was obliged to relinquish command at San Francisco on account of an attack of rheumatism. One of the remarkable features of Admiral Evans' career was that, al though it was crowded with romance lived on the seven seas, an acquaint ance that embraced the notables of countries of the world, he was also a technician of remarkable skill and as such performed feats in civil life that won recognition outside the navy and offers of large salary if he would de vote himself to business. His aid was invaluable in the upbuilding of the new navy. His were the standards set for construction and armament that gave the ships of the American navy the strength to perform feats in war and peace that astonished the world. As Seen by Kipling.

The Kansas auditor believes that the Pullman dividends of 267 per cent are too high.

It might force the Pullman people to pay their porters a salary. Another resolution by the Hon. State 'Auditor is to the effect tov.it that no pilgrim on state business can use the Pullman dav service at state expense hereafter. It is ha-k to the day coa-.-ii with the common herd for the public servant. The new rules are strict and econom ical. They require receipts for every thing and explanations for large ex penditures while enroute. But they im pose no hardships. All the perquisites are allowed that go to make comfort 5n traveling. These rules cover the case so thoroughly that they are worth printing so that every one will know Just how the state provides for its em ployees while traveling on state busi ness. Here they are: Auditor Davis' Rules.

It is stated that thev smashed up the huts in the camn and bombarded the officers quar ters with bricks. All the officers and non-commissioned officers turned out to rmell the disturbance but the mu tineers formed a square and kept off their superiors. Some of the non-commissioned offi ceis were injured by blows from belts and sticks. Eventually an officer who is a noted boxer challenged one of the men to fight. The men lmmeaiateiy formed a ring and one of them stood un to the officer but was soon badly defeated. Upon this the men suddenly returncd to the wrecked huts.

Lina Cavalieri, the opera singer, has been granted a decree of divorce from Robert Win throp Chanler of New York by the di vorce court of the department of the Seine. The proceedings were of a pure ly formal character and the judgment was read in the absence of any legal representative of Mr. Chanler. The court named a liquidator to ar range the property rights of both par ties and condemned Mr. Chanler to pay the costs of the divorce procedings. CHANGES HER MIHD Pacific second with 26,726. The Union Pacific third with 20,i4l cars and the Rock Island fourth. It is figured by Santa Fe officers that their road averages 99 cars a day into Kansas City in a calendar year. There are really only four market days in the week. This gives the Santa Fe nearly 150 cars a day. In the heavy week days however the Santa Fe averages from 150 to 250 cars a day. times the number has reached 300. In the outgoing shipr.-.ents the Santa Fe takes second honors. The Missouri Pacific leads out of Kansas with 7,51 cars in 1911. The Santa Fe comes sec ond with 6,400 and the Chicago Alton third with 5,661. In the record for this, year the Santa Fe showed a small decrease since 1910. This is caused by the increase in busi ness in the Wichita and Oklahoma City markets. The shippers have the privi lege of taking advantage of the mar kets in these cities and Kansas City has lost a big trade from the Panhandle country.

Messrs. Barney Dreyfuss, represent ing the National league, and President Johnson, of the American league, met for about five minutes during the after noon and signed up the schedules for their respective leagues. Both an nounced that no information regarding the schedules would be given out until the meetings of the league in February. Roger Bresnahan, of the St. Louis club, who has a grievance against President Charles W. Murphy, of the Chicago Nationals, was on hand early, but was soon informed that his case should first be taken before the Na tional league and that a petition in the form of an appeal was the only way the national commission could possibly be drawn into the controversy. How ever, Chairman Herrmann took cogniz ance of the episode in his annual report. NEW SAXTA FE GULF CUT. Rumor With Of Traffic Aarrefwnent. Frisco in Oklahoma. Bartlesville, Ok..

Higgins has been appointed general manager of the Missouri Ba ric-Iron Mountain railroad to suc ceed A. W. Sullivan, resigned. The announcement is made in a circular issued -by First Vice President E. J. Pearson and approved by President B. F. Bush, the appointment being ef fective January 1, 1912. John Wilfred Higgins has for some time been regarded as one of the brightest transportation men in Amer ica. Familiar witn every pnase oi the operation of a railroad system, he is most thoroughly equipped for his new position. Mr. Higgins, who was porn at new port. It. I., on October 12, 1864, en tered service of the Illinois Central railroad as a messenger boy at the age of 15. He continued in the service of that company until the latter part of 1903, when he left the position of general superintendent of transporta tion, after having served in almost ev ery capacity in the operating line, in cluding telegraph operator, conductor, chief clerk to general superintendent, trainmasteV, division superintendent, superintendent of terminals, etc. He left the Illinois Central to accept a po sition as assistant superintendent of the Grand Trunk, and resigned in De cember, 1904. to go to the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain as inspector of transportation. After three months service in that capacity he, on March 1, 1905, was promoted to assistant general manager, which position he has held since, and in which he has made a most enviable record. MEDALS OX ROAD BRAVERY. Railway Systems Join "With Munici palities in Movement. Washington, Jan. 4. All large cities and railroad systems in the L'nited States will unite to form an organiza tion to confer medals for bravery, if a plan proposed by the American cross of honor is carried out. President Herndon, of the society, says support for the movement already has been promised by some of the largest cities and by heads of several of the most important railway systems. The idea is to have hero medals awnrded at annual conventions held in this city. SCALPING REPORT FRIDAY. Reclassification of Minor Leagues on Program Today. Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 4. When the National baseball commission began the second day of its annual meeting here this morning it was the belief of the members that rapid progress would be made in clearing away unfin ished matters of business and that an adjournment would be taken some time today. The principal business before the commission was the raising of the American association, the International league and the Pacific Coast league to a higher classification in the minors, the new Tanking to be denominated as the "A. A." class. All these baseball associations were well represented here as are numerous other minor leagues and they are im patient for the ruling body of the base ball world to pass on their claims. It was believed that nearly all the con cessions asked by the new "A. A." leagues w-ould be granted. After almost three months' of inves tigation, the national baseball commis sion which met here today has reached a decision in the alleged ticket scalping scandal during the last world's series at New York and Philadelphia and a finding will be handed down, but just what this finding will contain remains a mystery. The official announcement is that it will be issued Friday night. Chairman August Herrmann. Presi dent Thomas Lynch, of the National league, and President Ban B. Johnson, of the-American league, labored for FRISCO OFFICERS ARE "HUNG." If New Line Was Completed Tliey Had Promised Exhibition. Brownwood, Tex., Jan. 4. J. N. Spence and Brooke Smith, Texas capi talists, were "hung" the other day at May, twenty miles from here, while a v-iowa oi o,vvv witnessed the execu tion." The two men went to the gal lows smiling and met their fate stoic ally. They were hung after a trial at which W. C. Nixon of St. Louis, vice president of the Frisco system, acted as judge. Louis J. Wrortham of Fort Worth represented the defense, and W. B. Paddock appeared for the state. It was conclusively shown that they had been guilty of saying a year ago that they were willing to be huner if the new extension of the Frisco reached May this year, and the golden spike completing the line was driven today -with ceremony. With the party and participating in the trial were W. B. Drake, general superintendent of the Frisco, and C. H. Bencini, direc tor. The gallows upon which Smith and Spence were hung was draped not in mourning, but in red. white and blue. Calmly they stood when the noose was adjusted about their necks and calmly they stood when a moment later the trap was sprung and dropped them to the ground three feet below. Follow ing the execution there was a banquet. MOTION PICTURES OF "DE LUXE" Santa Fe Adopts Novel Means of Ad vertising Train. San Bernardino, Cal., Jan. 4. Mo tion pictures is the latest advertising wrinKie oi tne Santa Fe railroad. The other day the de luxe train of the Santa Fe made a special run to fan t?ernaraino. Put instead of having excess fare passengers aboard, about 20 people, recruited from the Los An geles theatrical ranks for the purpose, were the passengers, and they were paid for taking the ride. The management desired a number of pictures of the train to portray the comforts with which its patrona are provided, and the special run to this city from Los Angeles was made with some expert picture men aboard to make films of the trip, revealing the luxurious equipment and the exclusive ness of the train. These will be used in advertising pamphlets and in a se ries of motion pictures in the east. The "hired" passengers were dressed in the height of fashion, and this fact will add to the richness of the atmos phere disclosed in the pictures. The trip cost the railroad about $1,000. Santa Fe Veterans Dead. Seattle, Wash.. Jan. 4. Bernard W. Murray, a noted construction engin eer, who built Fort Wingate, New Mexico, and Forts Worden, Flagler and Casey, Wash., is dead her aged 69.

Friends in this city have received word of tne death in Los Angeles of A. P. Bc Ginnis, one of the pioneer railroad of ficials of the Santa Fe system. Mr. McGinnis passed away Thursday after an illness which lasted almost a year. Up to the time of his death Mr. Mc Ginnis occupied the position of tax commissioner for the coast lines of the Santa Fe system, and had served that company and its predecessor, the Atlantic pacific, almost continuous ly since the construction of the road westward from Albuquerque, in 1881.

Topeka and Santa Fe Kail- (Continued from Page- means of he union at Rotterdam Junction, near Schenectady, N. Y., with the Fitchburg railroad, which is a part of the Boston Maine system and which possesses very fine terminals at Boston. Apparently Mr. Mellen expects by the utilization of the Rutland, supple menting his control of the Boston Maine, to develop a very large com merce with the west, especially with, the Northwest, some portion of which will find its ocean terminal at Port land, Me., a 'city which gives promise of great growth, but the greater part of w-hich will find its terminal at Bos ton. Therefore it is apparently New Kngland business either initiated or consummated with the west, and es pecially with the great Northwest, which Mr. Mellen seems through his control of the Rutland railway sys tem to have in mind. Of an the great railway managers In the east Mr. Mel len is, with the exception of William C. Brown, the president of the New York Central, the most thoroughly- familiar with the agricultural and commercial interests of the remoter west. And it seems now almost as though his ser vice as president of the Northern Pa cific was from one point of view a sort of apprentice service qualifying him for the railway and industrial develop ment of New England, a development f which he is the first since the day of John M. Forbes fully to appreciate. Mr. Forbes and th West. Ii was under the line inspiration and the very great ability and real railroad statesmansnip of the late John M. Forbes that William C. Brown, presi dent of the New York Central, received possibly the most valuable of the les sons he has so well learned as a rail way administrator. And it is a very interesting and high ly suggestive fact that at this time Mr. Mellen is undertaking vastly to expand the industrial, commercial and railroad activities of New England along lines somewhat f-imilar to those which John M. Forbes originated when he. with Boston capital, undertook much of the development, in agriculture and trans portation of the west. Mr. Forbes, so long ago as 1S4G and only a few years after his return from China, where he had been engaged as a merchant representing a Bifston house in China trade, was almost ac cidentally persuaded to look into a lit tle railroad stretching westerly from Detroit and ending in the marshes or fiat lands abruptly at a point a .little distance west of Kalamazoo, Mich. He perceived that if this railroad were to be worth giving any time to or spending any money upon it must be extended so that it could get transpor tation either from Milwaukee by means of a lake ferry or else from Chicago, then a little village. And this percep tion identifies Mr. Forbes as really the first of the great railway statesmen of the United States. With Bostrn capital- and with the assistance of a civil engineer who had been trained on a 'division of what is now the New York Central, Mr. Forbes carried his railroad to Chicago, demonstrated thereby the soundness of his economic views and created what is now the Michigan Central railroad. But he did not stop there. He taught the first lesson of combination or con solidation, bringing into a unified sys tem a line stretching across Illinois from Chicago to the Mississippi river, thereby creating what is now the great Burling ton railway tys'.em. controlled until the year 1901 by Boston capital and direct ed with supreme skill and ability by a near relative of Mr. Forbes, the late Charles E. Perkins. Realizing, further more, that the prosperity of the east was in great measure dependent upon h rtpveloament of the west, Mr. Forbes, still with Boston money, expended his system into the state of Iowa. He lived long enough to see his judgment perfectly vindicated and a few years before his de ith he pointed ort that the industrial and commercial prosperity of New England and the realizing of the great opoortunities as a commercial port which Boston possesses depended in great measure on the perfecting of transportation facilities between New Kngland and the great west and es pecially the Northwest. What Mr. Forbes foresaw and advised apparently President Mellen of the New i Haven railroad now hopes to compass, "in part Grows hair and can prove it we Hair Becomes Soft, Fluffy, Lus trous and Beautiful Immediately After a Danderine Hair Cleanse V Get a 25 Cent Bottle Now and Forever Stop Falling Hair, Itching Scalp and Dandruff A little Danderine now will immediately double the beauty of your hair No difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair taking one small strand at a time.

That gamblers' war in New Tork -slty, which is resulting Jn many mur iflers, may he a good thing for the town If the gamblers are only careful enough --ta confine their killings to their own Bangs. Political soothsayers of the super stitious variety are bound to see some- thing significant in Senator LaFollette 'getting on a train out of Saginaw that took him in an opposite direction from "the one he intended to go. Thus does civilization march on its way in the wrong direction. The Rus sians are wreaking vengeance on the Persians by summarily hanging them in bunches, and displaying the dead bodies of the unfortunate victims of their wrath in the public squares for a day or so. Something worth while to combat the evil of "gun totin' is to be found in the bill introduced in congress by Rep resentative Sisson of Mississippi. The measure provides for a heavy federal tax on all deadly weapons and cart ridges manufactured and sold anywhere In the United States. A wonderful victory for capital and labor. Thirty-one thousand trade un ionists in Boston, engaged in eight dis tinct industries, were able to settle their differences with their employers, which resulted in an agreement for a general increase in their wages without the ne cessity of anything that resembled a strike. Arbitration did the trick. Business was so poor in Wall street during the past year that many men who had operated there- as brokers were forced to get out in the hard and cruel world and go to work for a liv ing. Xor need the Wall street deni zens expect anything very wonderful in the way of business in the future. The people, generally, have succeeded In getting onto their curves. Mordecai Brown, the famous base kail pitcher, says he has quit the game. A contract giving him a larger salary would probably assure his return, and this is more probable because he takes the trouble to insist that his announce ment of quitting must not be construed as the usual "holdout" talk generally engaged In by star baseball players. The "three-flngered wonder" is only hu man. Senator LaFollette Is surprised, so his next friend, Gifford Finchot. says, at his "(strength with the people" as it lias been evidenced to him by the large e,nd demonstrative crowds that have gathered to hear him speak in Ohio and elsewhere. Sir. Bryan, out of his large experience, is in a position to inform Mr. LaFollette that the size and the enthusiasm of the crowds that flock around a political speaker are abso lutely without significance in indicat ing his political strength with them. Surely no strenuous objection will be raised by any one to the extension of executive clemency to Captain Tillot ton for the small part he played in the last kidnaping of Marian Bleakley, the erstwhile "incubator baby." There is no good reason why this old man should be made to play the role of "goat" in thU rather extraordinary affair. Xo charge of any kind was pressed against the individual who engineered the kid naping and furnished the money to bring it about. She happened to be a woman and one with considerable means at her command. Dr. Owen of Detroit is in a class by himself in his enthusiasm over Sir Francis Bacon. Not only has Dr. Owen proof that is satisfactory to him self that Bacon wrote the works more generally credited to Shakespeare. He also insists that Bacon invented an airship, or least designed one, Xor would it be at all surprising if Dr. Owen should soon announce that Ba ton was the originator of treating the side-meat of a hog in the manner that turns it into the most delectable of foodstuffs, and that it was accordingly named after him. The fact that there was bacon before Bacon's time would bav no terrors for Dr. Owen. CHAPTER LXV. Politics Again. The great efforts of the "Insur gents" seem to be to create friction or a quarrel between President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt, the man who put forth Mr. Taft as the best available material for the presidency, a man in whom Roosevelt as president had great confidence and a man who has shown the country that the confidence was well placed, both when President Roosevelt did his best to make him his successor and since he has come into the office. The Insurgents seem to be somewhat disgruntled because they cannot cre ate a quarrel between Taft and Roose velt. Having dropped LaFollette they are now doing their best to drag Roose velt into their ranks as a leader to con duct them to higher ground, and places cf a more or less higher nature. Of course the insurgents have many good principles and with many good in surgents it is a matter of principle for which they are working. On the other hand many of them are striving to create discord instead of harmony. Today's dispatches note that Col onel Roosevelt declines to quarrel with his friend in the presidential chair, and that the President declines to quarrel with the Colonel. The latter still persues hia sensible and sane couse, by saying that he is not a can didate and wishes that his friends would not undertake to get delegates for him to any conventions. It would seem that a former presi dent, who made a splendid record, and who appears to be pleased with his present situation in life, as a man of wonderful influence and an exemplar, should be permitted to lead his own life in his own way, free from being harassed by ambitious politicians and spared listening to impudent ques tions. Gov. Foss in his Inaugural address today at Boston, says: "The experience of the country now points to a lower tariff." Very true. This is what Presi dent Taft believes, also what LaFollette thinks, also what Harmon and Clark assert. There is a growing disposition for both Democrats and Republicans to go back ,and forth over the line of de marcation between the parties. The reader is again requested to cheer up and have patience because there are some "Reminiscences" to come. (Chapter LXV1 Tomorrow.) Xor does a man who keeps his nose to the grindstone become very sharp. It's already becoming burdensome to many, to keep up the diaries they started a few days ago. Too many people have the Idea that one good turn on their part deserves not another but three or four. Looking glasses would be more popular if they were such flatterers as are cameras in the hands of pro fessional photographers. The average reader who comes across an expression in French in a magazine story at once jumps to the conclusion that it's covering up some thing naughty. "No, sir," advises the Scranton Ga zette, "a woman does not become a member of The Daughters of the Rev olution because her ancestors murder ed the king's English." Two women were arrested as sus pects recently. reports the Atchison Globe, but were released a short time later. A policeman thought they were crazy, but investigation revealed their peculiar actions were due to their large hats while they were trying to kiss each other. Before Henry J. Allen got religion he used to make a dent in Vic Murdock's popularity by a good old-fashioned edi torial roast. Now he is accomplishing the same results in a Christian-like way. He is printing a picture of Vic wearing a plug hat. Jewell County Monitor. A little boy out in Stockton, accord ing to the Rooks County Record, said to his mother the other day: "Ma, am I a descendant from a monkey?" "I don't know." replied the mother, "I never knew any of your .father's folks." The father, who was listen ing, went out in the coalshed and kicked the cat through the roof. An Atchison woman relates the Atchi son Globe, sent her daughter east to an expensive school where it was ex .pected she would be taught refine ment and good manners. The girl re turned home during the holidays on a visit. "Hello, mother, how's your giz zard, anyway?" were the first Words she said when she got in the house. According to the Horton Headlight- Commercial, a woman of its acquaint ance, went into a butcher shop and ask ed to see a 25-pound piece of meat. The butcher cut off a chunk weighing that amount and asked her where she want ed it delivered. "Oh, I don't want to buy it," she said. "The doctor told me I must reduce nry weight that much and I only wanted to see how much it would be." A little son of Alex Lowe who lives east of Faola. went into their chicken house Saturday morning and found a gentleman's watch in running order, ana ticking away as though a hen house was the usual repository for gentlemen's watches. Mr. Lowe says he feels real sorry for the gent who iost it, and if the owner will call and describe the watch anywhere near ac curately he will hand it over to him. Miami Republican. VAFFYDILS BY U.

JOURNAL Elf TRIES lr JAYHAWKER JOTS BY THE WAY BY HARVEY PARSONS, That territory bounded on the west by Fiddler's Green and on the east by the River Styx has lost its potency as a "scare" to Topeka people; it is re ported to be a place where the gas pressure Is reliable.

Giff Pinchot says LaFollette went into it tor the principle of the thine. but it is widely suspected that he would be willing to take anything else or value that might result from the action. Playing safe, Hon. Sunny Flora, the weather department, forecasts warm weather for next Juiy and August, with possible rains in April, May or some other month, followed by a recurrence of the cold spell some time in the late fall or winter.

After listening to the report Of the reform speakers on the conduct of the trusts, we feel constrained to revamp the old saw, towit: Man's inhuman ity to man makes countless thousands more. Old Cap Tillotson, the goat in the incubator baby case, has a fat chance to gather any executive clemency In these parts. When out of jail, he lives in .Kansas City and votes in Missouri.

The poor little cramped lives led by some women give them an excuse for gadding that neither you nor the rest of the old buck gadabouts can muster. The he-gadder is thirty-three degrees worse than the she-gadder and the she-gadder is thirty-three de grees worse than useless. The she-gadder may be the incubus of the boudoir, but the he-gadder emitting reverberating vacuities, is the curse of the clubs and the pest Of male society. He and his noisy nothings are always present when busy men re lax and seek diversion. Having noth ing else to do, he succeeds in being among those present when worth while men fore-gather and his pitiable ignorance, incompetence and inconse quence, thrust their unwelcome pres ence in everywhere. He is regarded quite as much in sorrow as in anger because of his homeless helplessness, for the confirmed he-gadder is more surely lost than the confirmed drunk ard. He spreads boredom as the housefly spreads disease and his presence is no more welcome. Having done nothing. he has no ideas and, having no ideas he is a constant annoyance to those who have. The cure for his state is work; but since he recognizes no ne cessities except those of food, clothing and the things that minister to his colorless vices, and has the money to meet such wants, he doesn t know what is good for him. If you happen to have means, and don't have to work for the necessities of the body, go to work for the good of your soul. He whose only occupation is gadding is a loafer raised to the n-th power and is important only as an encumbrance of the earth which it is unlawful to remove. Copyright, 1912, by W. B. Williams.

Washington Star. THE EVEIfING STORY Saving Lester, (By Louise Merrifield.) "I felt that it was my duty that I owed it to Lester as his only female relative, to come .and close the affair for him as discreetly as possible." Tom nodded gloomily. "Of course I didn't know there was anj'thing up, Aunt Philly. He asked me down for a week, and I came. She's a mighty charming girl, that's all I can say." "A dangerous charm," supple mented Miss Drake. "When I heard that she was French, I said to myself then, Lester must be saved. It was against my wishes in the first place that he ever engaged a French gov erness for Mildred. I was willing to take her and do my duty by her until she was of age, and could be a help and a comfort to her father. But I did tliink Lester was old enough and worldly enough not to be caught by a girl like that." Tom's eyebrows lifted. He grinned at his aunt mischievously. "Have you seen Mademaiselle Clare yet, auntie?" "I have not." "Then reserve judgment. Take it right straight from your little nevvy, Tom, she's an excuse for any form of madness." "She does not even know that I have arrived," Miss Drake added firmly. "Xor does Lester. I saw him in Washington Tuesday. He seemed ill. I know Lester pretty well, and his symptoms, and he was not at all free with me when I spoke to him about it. Then I asked about this French governess." She wheeled about suddenly in her chair. "Do you know that she went down to Mexico with him at Christmas time?" "Not with him. He sent for her to bring Mildred down, because he could not get home for Christmas, and he wanted the child with him." "Pish, tush," Miss Drake's nose rose half an inch in the air. "She was scheming for Lester and Lester's half million. When I think that poor Lil lian hasn't been dead four years and what a suffering child she was, it makes my heart ache to think of her placo being filled by a French girl." "Her place could not be filled," re plied Tom, pleasantly. "Lester loved Lil, and was a good husband to her. But, hang it all, auntie, it's doggone lonely for a man stumping around the country alone, and Mildred adores mam'zelle." "What's her name, did you say?" "Esme Clare. She's an orphan, and was educated in a convent. Don't be too hard on her. Aunt Philly. She's been nursing Mildred through measles, and has been a perfect brick to her." He stopped. The front door opened lightly. There was a sound of quick, soft footsteps in the hall. A voice called. "Gyp, come to mel" But Gyp did not come. Miss Drake's lips set in a firm, uncompromising line as the frolicsome little Pomeranian ran into the room, and leaped at Tom's out stretched hand. Then she turned her head, and got a good full look at the French girl. Slender, dark, she looked indescrib ably attractive in her short, black vel vet walking costume, trimmed in dark fur. The fur toque set lightly on her brown hair, her cheeks were flushed from her walk in the bracing winter air, her lips were parted expectantly, and her dark eyes glanced half wist fully from one face to the other. She surely did not look like a far-sighted adventuress, and yet Miss Drae's lips did not relax. Tom performed the introduction somewhat awkwardls. She saw at once by the absorbed look on his face that even buoyant Tom had fallen a victim to Mademoiselle. It half pleas ed her. Tom was not worth fighting over. He was merely Tom, no more, no less, in the family estimation. "I was anxious about Mildred's state of health, and came on to look after her," she explained. Esme'3 expressive face .brightened instantly at the mention of her charge. Ah. bur the is better, on. inucn oei- ter, madame, now. And so .patient, so sweet. If you would care to see her s.t once, it could be arranged." Could it. Indeed?" murmured Miss Drake, ironically. "I'm right glad it can he. Miss Clare. I'm afraid Mildred has been spoiled a good deal since her poor dear mother died. Miss Clare's eyes hhowed tender, courteous concern for the departed one. She was all attention, all consideration for the old lady who eyed her with such frank disfavor. When I saw Mildred's father Tues day He is here now, interrupted tsme, happily, eagerly. "He has but just ar rived. It was for that I was absent. I had gone to the depot to meet him with the car." He is here?" Miss Drake rose, trou bled and ruffled. "Tom, I must have a few moments conversation alone with Miss Clare. You goand keep Lester busy till I call you." Tom shrugged doubtful shoulders. but obeyed, with a rjok of what he would have called "bolstering up cour age," at the demure, low voiced girl waiting for the storm to break on her Drettv head. It broke as soon as the door closed after the tall, ungainly Tom. Miss Drake's voice fairly taembled with passion as sr.e made her nnai appeal. I have no do"ubt it is only infatua tion," she said. "Men are like that when they have a pretty girl around them. But I had no idea Lester would think seriously of marriage Whv should he not, madam 7' asked Esme gently. Well, to speak plainly, it don t seem fittine for him to marry, well, you. don't you understand, child?" In spite of herself her tone did soften. Esme looked very young, very much alone 1 as she Etood there listening, miss urake remembered Tom had said she was an orphan. I understand? breathed Lsme soft ly, her eyes ashine with emotion. "He is wonderful, is he not? Why should he even desire to marry just merely me?" "The Lord only knows!" answered Miss Drake devoutly. 'The mam point is he does want to, and he must not be let. That is the real reason why 1 came from Washington. If he won't" see sense, then I thought perhaps you would. Now, there's Tom, a nice, good looking boy. He'd make a good hus band for you, and I don't mind saying I'd be willing to settle a little on you both if you married each other." "If I married "Tom, I say. If you'll promise to marry him, I'll settle a couple of thou sand a year on you both." And suddenly Esme's mirth broke, and she leaned back her charming head and laughed. But she checked herself as the door opened and Lester himself entered. Tom behind him. "Wall, Aunt Philippa, did you run down to congratulate us?" he ex claimed, heartily catching the thin old figure in his arms and kissing the faded, bony cheek. "Congratulate who?" asked Miss Drake, grimly: Lester turned quickly and drew Esme Into the family circle. "My bride," he said,- proudly. "We were married the day after I saw you in Washington."' There was a short, sharp Internal struggle in Miss Drake's mind. She looked at Tom, knowing him to be guilty of foreknowledge of the fact. She looked, at Lester's happy, tender face, and last of all at Esme herself, Esme whose eyes met hers with a sort of passionate entreaty for for giveness. "Ah, madame, what-could t do?" she implored. "He wanted me so very much for his wife." And the ice melted in Aunt Philly's heart. She sighed and smiled. "Well, child, can you blame him?" she asked. "I've done my level best to save him, but as long as he's been and gone and married you. anyhow, well you may call me Aunt Philly." (Copyrighted 1912 by Associated Literary Press.) EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON. "The only real thing I did then was to hurry as though every moment were ray last, as though the world, which now seems so rich jn everything, held only one prize which might be seized upon before I arrived. Since then I have tried to re call, like one who struggles to restore the visions of a fever, what it was that I ran to attain, or why I should have borne without rebellion such indignities to soul and body." DaviQ Grayson. hat are you hurrying so ror? Do you really need to? Would anything terrible happen if you should stop and breathe? Is it worth while It seems to me that three out of four Americans could put those questions to themselves with good results. On a post card the other day 1 read this sage advice: There is no time to lose In hurrying; man was not made in thirty seconds, nor yet in thirty minutes." The philosopher of the post card did not sign his name, and give me a'chance to give him credit, but I think he certainly deserves credit for reminding us of some thing most of us sadly need to remember. We often ask why it is that we do not make such durable furniture, build such lasting houses, or do any work in the "for-centuries" way in which our grand fathers did it? Have we lost the knack? No, we haven't lost the knack, but we've lost the time. In a public library the other day. I asked for a certain volume and was told that it had been sent to be bound and wouldn't be back for two or three months. "Why does It take so long?" I asked in wonderment. "Oh we send them abroad," they explained, "we can't get any such work done in this country." Why? Because Americans haven't as much intelligence as foreigners? No, be cause they haven't so much time. Thoroughly good work, no matter of what kind, "simply cannot be done In a hurry. I know housewives who are the envy of the neighborhood, because of the amount of work they appear to "turn off" in no time at all. I'm thinking of a particular woman who was always a marvel to me, until I slept in one of her beds. In the wee sma' hours of the night, I arose and painstakingly and timetakingly re-made that bed as it should be made and be it explained I am not an old maid in the matter of beds. I merely like to have some of the clothes tucked in at the foot and after that I understood how she managed to "turn off" so much work in no time at all. We talk about the high cost of living and tell of article after article, the price of which has soared to terrible heights. I wonder that we do not say more about that which seems to have become moro rare and more expensive than anything else time time to do work properly time to rest time to have friends time to be happy time to live. A little book of essays has made a tre mendous hit. largely on accoui.t of its clever title "How to live on twenty-four hours a day." "Ah, I must get that." I've heard a dozen people sigh. "I'd like to know how. I don't seem to be able to do it now." Isn't that in itself an excellent criterion on our time starved condition? It is said of the American man, that when he finds that his income is not cov ering his expenses, he does not say, "I must reduce my expenses." but "I must increase my incomf." Doubtless, that's what we'd like to do in the matter of time. But unfortunately we can't. We're all the time there is and clever as we are, we can't by hook or crook get any more. The only way out is the better use of what we have now. How? Well, for one thing don't shorten an al ready insufficient allowance by those twin time wasters, hurry and worry. Remember the advice Of the philosopher of the post card "There is no time to lose in hurrying. Man was not made in thirty seconds, nor yet in thirty minutes." POINTED PARAGRAPHS.. From the Chicago News.) Every man knows better than he does. If Ignorance Is bliss, why so many diploma factories? Poverty would seem easier If it wasn't so long drawn out. Many a nfan is credited with things that are not to his credit. Some men commune with the spirits and use a bartender as the medium. And every mother's son of us expects to strike it rich some day. Any fool can please a weman, but It takes a wise man to keep her pleased. A man doesn't appreciate common sense in a woman jmless he is married to her. He is truly a devoted husband who doesn't wince when his wife calls him pet names In public. There may be nothing new under the sun. but almost any modern druggist can give you "something just as good." It's easier for a young man to write satisfactory love letter during courtship than it is to write a satisfactory check after marriage. REFLECTIONS OB A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. One higher education is trying to raise the money to give it to the chlldren. It's just a woman's luck to have a big thaw come when she gets her new furs. The trouble with learning Is it only teaches you how much more there is to learn. le faster a man can go up in his own opinion the faster he can come down in everybody else's. A man can whisper a thing a girl wants to hear and she will get It a mile away, but he can shout it, if she doesn't want to, and she can't hear it in the same room with him. KAITSAS COMMENT TAEIFF-MAKI XG. The tariff commission has reported on the famous wool and woolen schedule, and although this commission is com posed of prominent men from both po litical parties, the fine thing about it is that their report is unanimous, and there is no politics in It.. The report deals in facts. It does not pretend to say what the tariff law shall be, but it shows clear ly that it .costs about twice as much to make yarn out of wool in this country as in some other countries where the wage scale Is much lower and conditions much different. Nevertheless, President Taft is convinced from this finding that the tariff on woolens is too high. It shows ample reason, in his judgment, for an im mediate revision downward to a point where the tariff covers the difference in the cost of production, and no more. At the special session of congress the In surgents and Democrats sent this sort of a Dill to the president, which he vetoed, on the ground that the tariff commission having been anoolnted. it whs rlirht n Withhold action until their report could be heard. The same bill would, now doubtless be signed by the president, which shows that the insurgents and Democrats beat the president to satisfac tory data upon which to base a law or were less particular as to their authority. The big thing accomplished, however, is not the information secured by the com mission, although that is very valuable; but the big thing is the new nonpartisan, businesslike method of handling the tariff. Probably never again in the his tory of the United States will each great manufacturing combine be allowed fo practically make the tariff which affects Its own business, to suit itself. The nro- tective tariff, when honestly adjusted. protects labor, and the height of the tariff wall should measure the differenco in the price of labor on the American siclo and on the foreign side, so the work may be performed here without the reduction of wages. That object can be accom plished only when the facts are dug out by high class men taken from both par ties. The tariff board is one of the pro ducts of progressive ideas. It will result, we trust, in taking the tariff out of poli tics, and when it goes a vast amount of courrupting influence will go with it. Jewell County Republican. r FROM OTHER PENS AN INTERESTING CASE. An interesting case has arisen at Wal halla. It appears that a United States officer, having seized some corn whisky which had been illicitly manufactured in the mountains, proceeded to sell It in Walhalla. It seems that he did not sell it to the dispensarj', for Walhalla has none, being a dry county. He sold it to an individual, or to individuals, although the law of South Carolina prohibits the sale of strong liquor of any kind in Walhalla. The United States officer has, therefore, been arrested for breaking the state law, and his trial Is set for some time in March. The courts have repeatedly decided that states have the right to prohibit the sale of liquor within their borders, tlvough it has been decided that citizens of any state, be it wet or dry, have a right to buy liquor from another state, in which ease interference with the shipment, be ing an interference with interstate com merce, will not be allowed. The distinc tion drawn is a very fine one so fin,e that most people are unable to follow the reasoning at all. What will be the out come? We do not know, but we feel pret ty confident that no United States officer will go to jail for having followed in structions from federal authorities, even if in so doing he broke the laws of the state in which he happened to be. Charleston News and Courier. MINT Set a farmer :i r. tion and the ftirr SCt IN. a lawyer In conversa--r will agree that he doesn't know anyt about law and the lawyer will agree that he doesn't know anything about farming. So of any two specialists. The banker, by general per mission, attends to the banking rules, the lawyer to the legal code; the farmer to the business of farming, etc. Maybe that is wise "in theory." But here is how it works: We have bank panics: the rural population decreases; and "the administration of the criminal law In America has pretty nearly broken down." We are too much specialized. And re lief is coming from a mingling of ideas and interests. For example: Good roads and agricultural colleges and experiment stations are the result of laws promoted by lawyers and bankers quite as much (at least) as by farmers. And now farmers and bankers and all other people find it necessary to simplify the legal administration of justice. The lawyers have had free rein and they have driven the whole thing into the mire. Kansas City Star. ADVERTISING TALKS BY WILLIAM C. FREEMAN -Mr. Henry Reed, a young man with tremendous faith in advertising, pur chased an interest in the Chattanooga Steam laundry about seven years ago. The laundry was not doing a great deal of business. Mr. Reed thought the way to increase the business was by advertis ing. He was right. He began by using full pages, and re peated them with such persistency that many people thought he was plunging recklessly. The people could not under stand how a man could use page adver tisements to talk about a laundry, but Mr. Reed knew what he was doing. The business increased enormously. It grew so fast that a new building had to be erected. But success did not dampen his ardor about advertising. (Some people, when they succeed fchrough advertising, thin!: that they can drop it or minimize it as soon as they become successful.) Mr. Reed never had that fallacy. He kept on telling the public what Ms laun dry was doing through the advertising columns. The result is that today he is operating eighteen wagons and two auto mobiles and his plant is so well known that on several occasions they have re ceived work from nearby cities. The laundry business developed another business for Mr. Reed. He put up a mod ern dry cleaning plant and in Inaugurat ing this business he relied upon his old friend advertising and did it In the same impressive way that he did for the laundry, using full pages, and within six months he was doing a large proportion of the dry cleaning business of chatta nooga. Mr. Reed is now reaching out for other fields to conquer, and has just opened up in Jacksonville, Fla., where he will also use large advertising copy. There is a lesson in Mr. Reed's nuccpsi for proprietors of laundries in other cities. Why not profit by his experience, gentlemen, and follow his example? (To be continued.) QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record.) Some people can be buried in thought and still be shallow. Even the aviator may have some dif ficulty in keeping up appearances. Virtue Is its own reward, and many a man who sticks to the right gets left. When a bank selects a runner It doesn't always pick out a fast young man. Sometimes a man can utilize his mis takes as a by-product of experience. No man Is a hopeless fool so long as he hasn't been fooled the same way twice. Any politician will tell you that to mak a clean sweep it is first necessary to raise the dust. POST-SCRIPT FOSS' INAUGURAL. The Governor Acks That Woman Suf frage Bo Put to Vote. Boston, Jan. 4. Declaring that "the business experience of the country now pointa to the policy of a lower tariff and reciprocity." Hugcn; E. Foss in entering upon his second term as governor of Massachusetts, today said in his inaugural address: "We shall establish reciprocity with Canada as soon as the principle Is ap proached in lis proper relation to gen eral tariff reduction and in a manner which the common sense of both peo ples shall approve." Noting that the Canadian northwest Is becoming one of the principal gra naries of the world, and paying that the port of Boston was the natural port of Canada, as well as also as of New England, he recommended the public ownership of docks and water terminals and also of railroad termin als if necessary. He asked that the woman suffrage question be submitted to the voters. WORKING III HARF..QHY. An Alliance! Between Roosevelt nml IFolletto I Kciorted. Columbus, O., Jan. 4. That Colon-!

The al most unprecedented spectacle of a Christian nation in this enlightened a??e ruthlessly and needlessly murder ing' Persian women and children has brought upon the czar of Russia the contempt of the entire world. Ill timed, indeed, is the riot of Russian soldiers in tht ir desire for innocent blood. Persia, undoubtedly has of fended Russia, but after conceding- to Russia's ultimatum, the reward is the buteherinsr of their wives, sweethearts and children. The Shuster incident is, of course, only a pretext for Russia to spank Persia and to teach Persia a lesson which Russia hopes will prevent any 30X SHAM OF tE'RSlA. further "indiscreet" attempts on the part of Persia to in the least manifest lier own desire for soma little sem blance of local government. Russia in tends to dominate Persia and wants it to be understood finally in just that way. Whether the" world powers will sit peaceably by and watch this gradual absorption of smaller European and Asiatic countries remains a question to be determined within the next five years. It is very evident that if they do not intend to sit peaceably by, Russia will be forced ir.lo a fight in which she is little prepared to successfully con tend. One concerted effort on the part of the world powers could undoubtedly stop forever the greed of Russia and the barbaric methods employed by her in whipping into subjugation the smaller powers. ence fe 1 to "I Mi now P..

BE A MODERN BOOSTER! Topeka Commercial Club. A convention of eight hundred dele gates of the Modern Woodmen of America will be held in Chicago Jan uary 23 to decide about raising the in surance rates of that order. To put the society on a basis under which it can meet its maturing obligations, its present rates mus-t be doubled at least, and many within the society assert that the rates will have to be trebled. The importance of this movement and the widespread effect of it may be imagined when it is known that this society has a larger membership than any other fraternal organization in the world. It has 1 Vz million members in America. It has 70.000 members in Kansas, 100,000 in Missouri, 50,000 in Oklahoma, 40,000. in Colorado. The Modern Woodmen of America is facing this prospect: A large part of its membership is sure to die within the next few years and as the years go by the death rate Is bound to in crease. The society has no surplus or accumulated fund to meet this 'emerg ency. All death claims have to be paid out of the regular insurance rate plus the assessments that are made from time to time to cover the emerg ency. The officers of the Modern Wood men assert that they do not have to raise their rates to the amount of the old line companies because it does not cost them as much to get insurance. iJCho' fraternal feature of the system, they say, attracts members without the heavy cost of agents' commissions and expenses. But the old line companies assert that the fraternal orders will i have to charge a higher rate even than they because the fraternal orders have no accumulations of money, such as they have, which are invested and pil ing up surplus funds with which to meet obligations. In the last few years eight hundred mutual life insurance companies in the United States have gone to the wall be cause their rates were too low and they had no reserve fund. A great many fraternal insurance societies failed, too In every township in this country are men who hold worthless certificates of those companies. SEEK FAST BOXERS Says That He Is in Faror of His Appointment. AFTER POTTER S PLACE Loring Trott Is a Candidate for State Senate. State Candidates AVill Soon Open Headquarters. Curley After Ryan, Corbett and Attell as Trainers. Chicago, Jan. 4. The date of the Jack Johnson-Jim Flynn fight sched uled to take place some time before July 4 will be announced within the next ten days. This statement was made by Jack Curley, Flynn's mana ger, here today. Whether the fight will be held at Windward or Metropolis, Nevada, will be made public at the same time. The Salt Lake promoters who are to finance the fight are expected to de cide on the town when they arrive here to confer with Johnson and Curley early next week. In an effort to develop Flynn along scientific lines, Curley is trying to en gage James J. Corbett, Tommy Ryan and Abe Attell to train the Pueblo fireman. Flynn never has been noted for cleverness, but has depended mainly on his strength to carry him to vic tory. Ryan has assured Curley he will accept the proposition tendered him but Corbett and Attell have not been heard from. Johnson will do his preliminary work for the battle here. He now is in ood condition and says if necessary he' could enter the ring on a few weeks' notice. For the present, how ever, he intends to do only a little boxing and a great deal of motoring. FIRE IN A TOYHUNT Woman's "Baby" Found to Be Dog Policeman Overcome. Chicago, Jan. 4. Hunting for mislaid Christmas toys, Arthur Mendez, jr., car ried a lighted candle into a clothes closet in his home on the South Side. The re sult is that five families were rendered homeless, several thrilling rescues made, and a policeman partially overcome by snioke in the tire caused by the boy's ex ploit. The boy's mother discovered the fire and got Arthur and five other children out doors and then fled herself, carrying a 2-months-old baby. Tenants in four other apartments made their escape witn difficulty. A woman who was being assisted out by firemen called out that her baby was on the third floor. A policeman rushed into the smoke filled building and in tne apartment found a pet dog 'and rescued it. This proved to be the "baby," but the rescuer fell to the sidewalk from the effects of smoke as he left the building. Frank Ryan of Leavenworth, mem ber of the Utilities commission and candidate for governor, is for Judge Hook's appointment to the United States supreme court bench. The other members of the commission, Messrs. White and Plumb, are considering the matter. The Kansas commission has been asked by commissions from other western states that are opposing Judge Hook, to send in a protest to the presi dent. Ryan is from Leavenworth, Hook's own town. Commissioners White and Plumb have discussed the Hook matter with the governor but have not yet made up their minds as to a course in the matter. 1 Loring Trott of Junction CitX Geary county, has announced himself as a Republican candidate for the state sen ate to succeed Senator T. M. Potter of Marion county. Mr. Trott, in his an nouncement, declares that he will make the campaign as an independent candi date,, undertaking to serve the party without regard to either faction. Charlie Case of Dickinson, a member of the last two sessions of the legisla ture, has also been considered as a can didate from this senatorial district for senate honors. The state primary campaign will soon be on, that is to say the prelimin ary work will be begun and headquart ers opened. Mayor Billard, Democratic candidate for governor, will open his headquarters next week. Mr. Capper, the Republican candidate, has been conducting a campaign by mail all winter, and will continue along this line for some time. He does not ex pect to open a regulation headquai-ters for two or three months yet. He will be his own campaign manager. "1 have found everything so encouraging," he said today, "that I shall continue my campaign as I have started it, which is to say I will meet the voters and lead ers from over the state in my office here in the Capital building. A dozen or more people call on me here every day. I am keeping in close touch tvith the situation and it is looking fine for my nomination. I shall not open a reg ular headquarters for some months." Frank Ryan, the other Republican candidate, has been using the TT. S. mail to promote his candidacy and has also made two or three trips over the state. He will run his own campaign. He expects to visit in every county in the state before next August. As soon as it is assured that there will be no session of the legislature the candidates will get busy with their pri mary petitions. Governor Stubbs has not yet made any public announcement of his candi dacy for the U. S. senate, but it is ex pected.that he will do so before long. It is a- fact that the governor has not made his announcement privately, either. But it has Just been taken for granted that he would make the race. While four candidates are talked of for state treasurer, no opposition has yet developed to Secretary of State Sessions, Auditor Davis or Superintend ent Fairchild. It will take a crack-a-jack to beat any one of these three for the nomination. A. M.

During an inves tigation before the house committee on foreign affairs the remarkable statement was made that In forty years the Com mercial Company of America has made more than $Wd, 000,000 from fur seals taken from the North Pacific and Arctic oceans. In that period the United States government has been paid only $4.000,)o0. The herd has been reduced from 4,0JO,01 to less than 40.000. The great value of the furs was proved by the fact that the government received last year for the few seals it killed more than $-130,000. The committee is considering the Sulzc bill, carrying into effect a treaty for the protection pf fur seals entered into by the United States, Great Britain. Russia and Japan. Objection to the bill on the ground that it gives too much power to the presi dent is made by Representatives Garnet of Texas and Foster of Vermont. and other iiis, due to an inactive condi tion of the Lhrer, Stomach and Bowels, may fee obtained most pleasantly and most promptly by using Syrup cf Figs and Elixir of Senna.

During the year 1911 the New Tork police were called to the aid of families from which some member had disappeared exactly 3,500 times and during this same time approximately 1,000 women, most of them young girls, ranging- in age from 14 to 20 years, have utterly disappear ed. Nor does this number cover all the young women who drop out of the world of their own acquaintances suddenly. The police say that not more than half the actual disappear ances are formally reported. "During 1911," says a police official, commenting on the figures, "we have been confronted with hundreds of eases similar in every degree to that of Dorothy Arnold. Many other cases are just as baffling as hers. The young girls left absolutely no trace behind. They made no preparations for de parture, and few have .since been heard from. We maintain a bureau nf missing persons especially to carry on this work of search. "Our investigations show that there are four reasons which cover most of the disappearances: First, severe home restraint; second, extreme pov erty; third, theatrical aspirations; fourth, lured away." Colonel Morgan Dies. Jopiin, Jan. 4. Colonel Charles Henry Morgan, former member of congress who served five terms, four as a Democrat and one as Republican, died at his home here today following an attack of pneumonia. He was 69 years old. COLDS AND GRIPPE GO. How to Cure a Bail CV1! and lii.f Grlppo Misery In a Few Hour.

SOLD TO SHUBERTS Mordkin Will Xo Looser Work for the Metropolitan. New York. Jan. 4. The most recent of the historic rows behind the scenes at the Metropolitan opera house culminated tndav in the sale of the services of Mikail .Mordkin. the celebrated Russian dancer, to the Shuberls who will feature him at the winter garden. Mordkin. whose jealous temperament and excitability caused the celebrated I'avluva to resolve never to appear on the same stage with him a?am and to re main in Europe this season, had charge of the Russian dancers and ballet at the Metropolitan this year and as a result the management was never sure that the curtain wouid not have to be rung down in the middle of a dance to shut off a fight on the. stage from the audience. Mordkin was jealous of Alexannr; Polinine. his chief rival and reduced the latter' s dancing time and refused to al low his picture to appear in the lobby or in the nesvsrapcrs. Mordkin was recently stricken ill. how ever and during his absence Polinine was featured with success. When Mordkin returned to his work he flew into such a violent rage that he was disposed of to the Shuberts as the only means of avert ing a certain clash on the stage. When Mordkin was in Topeka last sea son he became angered because he found a loose board in the stage and he went over and tore it out with his hands.

HE POUNDS A GRILL Then Comes Home Angry and Without Money. Frank Ford, a stonemason and fath er of 10 children, is in the county jail to await trial for failing to support his lamilv. This is Foru s second offense. He was arrested last night as he re turned from an extended pleasure trip beyond the borders of the state.. Last "ull Mrs. Ford complained to the probate court and county attor ney's office that her husband was not supporting his family in the proper manner. He was arrested, promised to be good, and was reieaseu. i left town and forgot to send his wife money. Since the cold weather came- the Ford family in North Topeka has had a rough time. One son, who has reached his majority has furnished practically all the support which the family enjoyed. Mrs Ford took in washing and the nine vounger children helped at add jobH Then the elder son found himself with out employment at the close of the holi day season and there was no money in the family treasury with which to buy fuel provisions and clothing. There were tears in Mrs. Ford s eyes as she went to the probate court a few davs ago and told her story of distress. She could not provide for the needs of the home and the poor commissioner s of fice came to the rescue with temporary asistaM-c. Somewhere she did not know where Ford was having a good time and spending his earnings in riotous living. If he ever thought of the wants and needs of his big de pendent family. Ford made no evidence of coming to their rescue. Forced to Give Up Children. Then there was sickness in the home and Mrs. Ford all but gave up the struggle. To Judge Schoch she stated that she must permit four of her chil dren to go to state institutions. She could not give them the care and com forts that were so badly needed. Plans were being made to send an installment of the big family to charitable institu tions when Ford appeared In his own home But the homecoming of the hus band and father was not an event of joy and thanksgiving. Ford brought no monev with which to buy groceries and new clothes for the children.' Instead he dragged into the home an ingrown grouch and a disposition that did not promote cheer in the already cheerless home. There had been no Santa Claus for the children and no presents and Christmas dinner, except such as was ,et,t by Topeka charities. For an hour after he reached Topeka, Ford distribu ted gloom around his own fireside. Then a deputy sheriff came and led the derelict father to the county jail. It is not customary for the courts to send out advance notices as to what will happ-.n to people who are to ap pear before the bar of justice. But the prosecutor's office will make a decided effort to see that something happens when Ford's case comes up in court.

More than a year ago Browm met Miss Aileen Horten, a Kansas City debut ante. The two were married and young Brown brought his bride to his father's home. The father did not take kindly to the marriage owing to the youth of the two and told his son he would have to shift for himself. Brown went directly to Leadville and several months later he and his wife moved to Victor, where he secured em ployment in a mine. Young Brown said he and his family are happy and thor oughly contented and he wil not ask his father for support so long as he is able to work. REV.

TO STOPJISEASE. Every House in School District Is Fumigated. From 88 Homes Fumes of Form aldehyde Arise. The French Ambassador Made the Trip to Panama. Paris. Jan. 4. The foreign office today issued a statement in regard to a newspaper report which has been published here that the French am bassador at Washington, Jean Jules Jusserand. had been affronted by President Taft and had left Washing ton on a trip to Panama so as to be absent from the New Year reception at the White House and thus to show his adhesion to his friend Roosevelt. The foreign office declares that the truth of the matter is quite different. It says that Ambassador Jusserand left for Panama at the request of President Taft. who had repeatedly pressed the French ambassador to visit Panama before the construction of the canal was completed. M. Jus serand and his wife, accompanied by Attorney General Wickersham and his wife, left for Panama on December 20 and expect to return to Washington on January 9. after which M. Jus serand will go to Xew York to attend the banquet of the Xew York bar at which he and President Taft are to speak. "The good relations between Presi dent Taft and Ambassador Jusserand." continues the statement by the for eign office, "are well known. "Far from lacking cordiality and readiness in connection with the nego tiations with the treaty of arbitration as one newspaper insinuated that it was, M. Jusserand was the first to ap prove publicly of the idea. "It was due to his initiative that the treaty between France and Amer ica was signed first."' Newton, Kan., Jan. 4.

TO RESUME FIGHTING Chinese Imperial Army Ordered lvfiiew Hostilities January 6. to WILL NOT MEET BRYAN Vnderwoxl Declines Invitation Jack.son Day Banquet. to Shanghai, Jan. 4. The Imperial government in Peking has sent orders today to all the generals in command of the imperial troops that they are to resume hostilities at 8 o'clock in the forenoon of January 6 unless they re ceive notice in the meantime that the armistice between the two forces has been again renewed. This step has been taken, it is as sumed here, as a result of the refusal of the revolutionaries to continue the negotiations with the Peking authori ties by telegraph in accordance with the demand of Premier Yuan Shi Kai. Telegraphic negotiations are regarded by both Dr. Sun Yat Sen and Wu Ting Fang as unsatisfactory. President Sun Yat Sen yesterday in struct. d Dr. Wu Ting Fang to tele graph to Premier Yuan Shi Kia at Peking asking him to come to Shang hai and negotiate personally with the president of the new republic. The fact that Premier Yuan Shi Ka! is now in possession of a considerable sum of money which he received from the em press dowager for the purpose of re pressing the rebellion and with which he can pay the imperial troops has, it is believed, inspired him with fresh confidence in his power to check the revolution, as he is aware that the re publicans lack resources. There are said to be 30.000 imperial troops in Han Yang and vicinity and a clash with the revolutionaries, whose force U said to be almost equal, is pos sible at any moment.

Insurerent directors of the Bell Telephone company of Mis souri are organizing minority stockholders in an effort to oust Charles S. Gleed from j the presidency of the company at the an- nual election in St. Louis, February 20. j They are determined a St. Louis business man shall be president of the St. Louis company. Cyrus P.

Minority stockholders are con fident they will elect a St. Louisan presi dent if the American Telephone and Telegraph company does not vote its stock.

Summer Baseball Squabble Will Be Referred to Coach. Kansas City, Jan. 4. "Just two years nearer a crop," is the optimistic way J. H. Drain, one of the big far mers of Scott county, Kan., puts it. He means that there have been no crops in his locality for two years; neither iiaa a drop of rain fallen. "But if a man is going to sit in the farming game in western Kansas he has to stay in to win. Every one of us who has stuck, has won. This was th rule I followed 2 6 years ago when 1 went to Logan county, and it holds i just as good today,' he added. But for the coming season Mr. Xrain doesn't intend to depend alto gether on rainfall for the moisture to insure a crop He has just completed building a dam across Beaver creek, 25 feet high and 250 feet long. The reservoir thus created covers 65 acres a.nd the depth of the water averages Bix feet. The elevation given the wat er makes it possible to irrigate the 15, 000 acres which Mr. Drain farms. "There is plenty of water in western Kansas," said Mr. Drain. "It is just a case of controlling it. We will irri gate the coming season 400 acres of all kinds of farm products with the water from our pond. A year ago last fall we put in 600 acres of wheat, but never harvested a kernel. We have put in the big dam, with seven milts of ditches, at an expense of $1,500, not much in comparison with the benefits we feel sure we will reap from it." Mr. Drain produced a photograph of the reservoir. "Doesn't look much like a drouth country, does it?" he asked. "The wa ter comes from springs. The vicinity in which we live abounds in springs.

I drove 20 miles to Scott Citv,-over from 12 to 18 inches of enow. That snow, by the way, means s. crop for us next year." "The old time prejudice between rancher and small farmer no longer exists In western Kansas." related Mr. Bilby. "We Invite the small farmer to our countrv. We even have built them houses and furnished them with teams and seed, and bought their crops." OCT OP WORK HE DIES. Husband Triable to Provide for Sick Wife Drinka Poison. Wichita, Kan., Jan. 4.

Champion Jack Johnson thus out lined the pugilistic situation of the future, so far as the heavyweight championship is concerned. "There has been so much stuff pub lished, it's hard to tell where I'm at,' continued Johnson, "and I want to straighten it up. Every manager of a fighter who, by the widest stretch of the imagination, might be called a heavyweight, has been seeking -publicity for his man by a lot of talk about a match with Johnson. "Johnson has two matches corar- the two I named and no more. W hen there are more. I'll announce them.

A report ha3 been circulated for several days that Carl Morris is afraid to fight Al Pal zer. On the contrary, Morris is eager for a fight with the Iowa farmer. As an evidence of good faith, F. B. Ufer, the backer of Morris, has left $10,000 in gold with Billy Newman, manager of Morris, for a bout of either ten or twenty rounds, the latter distance pre ferred. Morris is willing to box Palzer anywhere but asks Tom O'Rourke, manager of Palzer. for a side bet of either $5,000 or $10,000. "O'Rourke can match Palzer with Morris any time he desires," said Newman today, referring to the $10, 000 posted by Ufer. "Far from being afraid of Palzer, Car wants the battle to go twenty rounds. It is impossible to stage a bout over that long distance in this state, but there are no such restrictions in California. James Coff roth is anxious to stage it and willing to offer a purse. "Morris, to prove he is anxious to face Palzer in the ring, will consent to a ten round bout in this city, provided the twenty round affair can not be arranged. O'Rourke can not say that the conditions are se-ere, for he can have his choice of the number of rounds. "Morris will box AI Benedict at Olympic club of Toronto on January 18. After he returns he will be ready to meet Bombardier Wells, the cham pion heavyweight of England, and then take on Palzer.

Used Cuticura Soap and Oint ment and Face Is Now Smooth. R. F. D. 2, Portsmouth, N. H. "I wm bothered with pimples and blackheads in the worst way for oTer four years. My face and arms ware completely cov ered with them. The pimplei would come out on my face and fester all up. They would scab orer. and make my face sore, besides being so disfiguring that I shunned my friends. I tried facial cream balms and beczoine with no effect. "One night I asked a friend what was good for pimples, and he adwised me to try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment which I did. I would wash my face first with hot water and Cuticura Soap, and then put on some Cuticura Ointment, let it stay on fire minutes, and then wash my face again with the Cuticura Soap. It would draw the blackheads out as nice, and the pimples, oh say, it was on grand relief to go among my friends and be jolly again. After using two cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, my face is as smooth as if there never had been a pimple on it. I cannot speak too highly of the Cuti cura Soap and Ointment, and I hope others will profit by them as much as I have. I know they will after giving them Just one trial." (Signed) Arthur E. Caswell, May 6, 1911. Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold by druggists and dealers throughout the world. Liberal sample of each mailed free, with 32-p. book on skin and scalp treatment.

Bush, president of the Missouri Pacific, today was elected president of the Denver Rio Grande railroad, and a member of the later company directorate. Geo. J. Gould resigned as chairman of the board and E. T. Jeffery, former presi dent of the company, was elected to succeed him. According to a statement made by Mr. Gould after the meeting, Mr. Jef fery, although resigning the actual management, will continue in charge of its financial affairs. Mr. Gould as serts that the change long has been considered by Mr. Jeffery and himself, but was postponed from time to time to afford Mr. Bush an opportunity to become conversant with the Missouri Pacific situation before assuming ad ditional duties. One of the principal reasons for the new arrangement, the statement con tinues, is to take another step toward bringing all the properties belonging to the Missouri Pacific family under sin gle operating management directed by officiala located at trarnc centers on the lines. WEDS HIS AFFINITY Preacher Snyder and Mrs. Fleming Are Married. Following a series of divorce proceed ings, Rev. J. F. Snyder was married this week to Mrs. Jennie P. Fleming. It was because of the Christian minis ter's love for Mrs. Fleming, it is claim ed, that Fleming sought a divorce from his wife several months ago. Then Mrs. Snyder complained and was grant ed a decree from the minister and title to property in West Topeka. Snyder was formerly pastor of a church at Meriden. Here he met Mrs. Fleming, who was a devoted church worker. Fleming became jealous of his wife and secured a divorce from her. A few days later Mrs. Snyder heard of her husband's new affinity and applied for a divorce. None of the real issues in the case were brought out in the hearings and the defendants in the two actions filed waivers of appear ance. The six months limit for marriage after divorce, expired in the two cases, a short time ago. DEATHS AND FUNERALS Mrs. Fannie West, aged 50, died at St. Francis hospital Wednesday.

COAL FOR FLEET. Enough to Run Town All Winter Used in Practice. Plans for "Play War" Sear Cuba Kept Secret. OPPOSES PARDON Mrs. Bleakley Asks That Tillot son Be Punished. Declares He Was Present When Child Was Taken. ADMITS TAKING BABE CO am la ke or T,,-.r.--l ocean naiuoi at Me., it was expected that there would li- a great development of Portland an. I a verv urofitable business for the railroad link between the deep waters of the lake and the deep waters ot tne ocean. To some extent those expectations were realized, but not fully. Highly successful competition with other rail way and lake lines was impossible for several reasons. Xor ilid the business which was brought to Portland in crease her ocean commerce to any marked extent. After many vicissitudes that portion of the old Portland and Ogdensburg railroad which extends from Rouse's point on Lake Champlain to Ogdens burg came into the possession of the Iceland railroad. When Dr. W. Sew ard Webb., son-in-law of William H. Vanderbilt, secured control of the Rut land railroad he expected greatly to develop commerce and transportation between Ogdensburg and Boston or Portland and to maintain a success ful lake transportation line with an eastern terminal at Ogdensburg. But it was always evident that while the Rutland railroad rnifcht become a very important link in some great trunk line system, it never would be able to develop itself exclusively into a system of that kind. The Rutland road's southern terminal ended at a little hamlet just south of Bennington, Yt.. where it made connection with the Boston Maine. Could it have be come an integral part of the Boston Main.- system it would have created for that system very great opportunities.) Thes" opportunities have now passed; over to the Xew Haven system through it practical control of and unification wi;li the Boston Maine. I An Outlet for the 'West.

Plans Kept a Secret. Somewhere off the coast of Guan tanamo, Cuba, during the next few weeks, the entire Atlantic fleet of about "l battleships, four armored cruisers and about a dozen torpedo boat destroy ers will be engaged in one of the most difficult games of mimic warfare ever Revised for American naval command ers. Fori reasons best known to those in charge of the battle practice, not an inkling of the plans to be worked out has been made public. Search Problem Has Part. As the search problem will have some part in the mimic warfare, the com manding officers of the various vessels have no particular dates for sailing, but will leave their home stations at their own discretion. A number of the battleships and cruisers and smaller craft are now at Hampton Roads and the third division sailed from Philadelphia Tuesday. When these vesseis put to sea, they probably will spread tut and proceed to the scene of battle sir.gly or m divisions, probably arriving in the vicinity of Guantanamo bnut January 11. The n'W battleships Florida and Utah, which have been making "shak insr down runs." since they were com' missioned recently will join the fleet and engage in maneuvers for the first time. Says She Acted Within Rights at Lawrence. Her Governor Still Bias Case Under Advisement. Portland, MILES EXPLAINS THEM Many Doeumeiits Head to tlie Jury the Packers' Case. Mrs. Charlotte Bleakley, mother of the famous incubator baby, called upon Governor Stubbs today to protest against a pardon for Capt. F. H. Til- lotson, w no is under prison sentence for helping to kidnap the baby from rts Topeka home two years ago. Mrs. 31eakley takes issue with the captain's uetenuers wno claimed tie was not pres ent at the actual scene of the kidnap ing. She declares that the captain was among those who eaine to her house that summer day and slugged her cousin ana took the little girl away by force. Mrs. BieaKley was Questioned about the history of the case in detail by the governor s pardon clerk, Robert Hein- selman. She admitted that she her self had kionaped the baby from the Lp.wrence court room following an or der of the court giving- the child to j Mrs. Barcklay, the foster mother. She said that following tha judge's decision the little girl had the nosebleed and she took it way from the court room to her home to change its clothes. 'Then what did you do with the i child?" asked, the pardon clerk. W hy, I well, I took it with ma to Illinois where the court had decid ed in my favor," replied Mrs. Bleak ley. "And yes, I went out the back door," she added. 'Did you know the court had just awarded the child to Mrs. Barclay? 'Yes, I did. But my attorneys ad vised me to do so. They were in the house when I went away with Ma rian." This was the very excuse madft for Capt. Tillotson before the governor earlier in the week. Mrs. Barclay's attorneys had advised him that the child belonged to Mrs. Barclay and they countenanced his aidto that lady. The governor still has the case un der advisement and will likely make a decision by Monday.

A mass of docu mentary evidence, consisting of circu lars, letters and statistics bearing on the alleged agreement of the packers and the summary statements of total shipments, average price reaeived and the margin of profits earned, based on the uniform test cost, alleged to have been sent out by agents of the defend ants, were read to tne jury today in the trial of the ten Chicago meat packers. Most or the documents were identi fied bv- Wm. I). Miles, former man ager of the Armour Packing company at Kansas City, and their contents ex plained by him. The witness weighed each question with great care and spoke slowly. Special Counsel Sheehan for the gov ernment labored hard in an effort to induce him to make damaging admis- iovfe against the packers, but without success. Mr. Miles reiterated nis Dec laration that the sole object of the old packers' pool was to control shipments with a view of preventing the glutting of the market with fresh meat. He added the use of the uniform test cost was necessary because of the peculiar character of the fresh meat business and insisted that there always had been real competition between mem bers of the combine in every market in the country. Witnesses for the government, if their testimony on the witness stand is at variance on material points with that given by them before the federal grand jury may themselves face an inquiry. William D. Miles, former manager of the Armour Packing company at Kan sas City, who was called by the gov ernment as its third witness and whose answers to certain questions have been hesitating and unsatisfactory to coun sel for the prosecution testified against, the packers before two federal grand juries. At least three other former officers and employees of packing firms who testified before the grand jury wonld be called as witnesses later. It was reported today that counsel for the government would make a care fjl comparison of William T. Miles' testimony in the trial with the state ment he made before the grand juries and that if any important discrepancies are discovered the prosecution may ask Judge Carpenter to act. Portuguese, Catholic Bishops Defy the! Ciovermiieiit. Lisbon, Jan. 4. Ensuing on the punishment of the patriarch of Lis bon, Mgr. Anthony Mendez Bello, whom the Portuguese government or dered expelled for two years, all the Portuguese bishops today proclaimed their independence of the government. The minister of justice declared that if they persist in their refusal to recognize the civil authormeai they I would all be expelled from Portugal and that he would hold them respon sible for any disturbances. The expulsion of the patriarch caused disturbances in the capital to day. Ten thousand persons proceeded to the patriarchate to offer their con dolences to the departing prelate. Four thousand extreme republicans! marched to the patriarchate and rush ed on the Catholics assembled there, j shouting, "Down with the monarchists. Death to the clergy." The Catholics responded with cheers for the pope, for Dora Manuel and for Dom Miguel, as well as for the mon archy. The republicans broke through the lines of police, invaded the pat riarchate and forced the clergy to flee. Reinforcements' of troops ar rived on the scene and drove off the republicans. Many persons were it jured and there were many arrests.

In the Helping Hand Corner appeared a letter from a person wanting a recipe for rusks, such as real GSvedes make. The good Swedea are all real, and the rusks never would be. if made In any such manner as In dicated. They are made of a rich dongh, milk, butter, and sugar, similar to good coffee bread, and the loaves are baked in- tb usual way. Then, to make rusks, these loaves must be cot to pieces of a desired size, which are then dried slowly in the oven and browned a little. This must be done within a day of the bakirta; and the rusks are good for eating as soon as dried, the fresher the better, of course. Who ever heard of letting them stand for a week or ten days! Although they keep well, they are too good to last long, arl there is no beer or any other liquid of that class used. Wouldn't that beer mixture make a lovely mess after having been kept a week or ten days? The beer referred to Is only a home brew, that ia In common nse. not carbonated and not intoxicating, but surely not used in baking. Yeast is used In raining bread, and whether fie rusks are shaped wlta the hands or not. or taper! nir, or straight, cuts no figure. Mra. J, A. L" Improves the Taste. I noticed C R.

The year just closed proved a banner vear for the Aetna Building and Loan Association, the gains being made even at the same time that the institu tion's books and business methods were undergoing most rigid examinations by the bank commissioners of tu begun a year ago and closed at the end of ml- a v t -v nnl- The examination made by J- -ul ley, bank commissioner for Kansas, covered a .period of seven -..onths and investigated the entire "rda of the ,-ompariv throughout its entire history. Then came the examination by the bar,K commissioner from Oklahoma. He along with the building an.', loan auditor 01 that state examined thoroughly, tne as sociation's records at the home ofhee here, then went to Kansas City where a careful inspection was made ot tne Aetna Building and Loan Association s property there. The opinion of the audi tor, as expressed in his report, was that the Kansas City property held by the Aetna was valued conservatively and that the association would realize a pro tit of $10,000 on that real estate. During the past six months, from July 1 to December 31. the report shows tnat under the present management, the Aetna Building and Loan Association has earned a net profit amounting to J163.0W. Alter paying all expenses after charging off the accumulations of fifteen years' losses, as disclosed by the examinations, the directors of the association were able to declare their regular semi-annual dividend of 5 per cent and leave remaining $i,000 undivid ed profits. "Had it not been for the amount charged off," said T. D. Fitzpatrick, president of the Aetna, "we could have paid a 6 per cent dividend and had left about JlU.Ot'H) in undivided profits. In an interview from J. N. Dolley. state bank commissioner, given to the Topeka State Journal at the time he finished his report concerning his findings in the Aetna Building and Loan Associa tion, he said, 'And further, I want to say that the officers now in charge of the institution are capable men.' The Men Ho Referred To. Mr. T. D. Fitzpatrick. president of tl:e Aetna was rai.sed in Topeka, proud of it apparently, was principal of the Harrison street school, "a school dad" several years ago. he seems a trifle timid of those experiences and in the mean while Tie has been in business in Salina. for 2r years, a director of the National Bank of America for 15 years, postmaster of Salina for 13 years and lias returned to Topeka. his boyhood home, president of the biggest building and loan association in the west.

Between the influence of nis paper and his personality, Mr. Royce became an active factor in state poli tics and "was appointed bank commis sioner. He resigned that office to ac cept the secretaryship of the Aetna Building and Loan association which office he has held the past three years. V. T. Watson, Director. Since July 1, 1905, Mr. W. T. Watson has served as deputy in the bank com missioner's office, at present he is as sistant to Mr. Dolley. Last August Mr. Watson was chosen a director of the Aetna Building and Loan association. He brings to the association a broad and thorough knowledge of banking nnrl building and loan business. He is president of the Colony State bank. William Macferran, Director. Mr. Macferran was chosen director of the Aetna at the same time Mr. Wat son became identified with the associa tion. Mr. Macferran is Topeka's most popular banker, a man who has built hi3 own bank from the start and of course he is president of it. He is a Kansas man, and has made a success of everything he has undertaken. As an assistant in the treastirer's office of the Santa Fe. as a clerk and cashier of the Merchants Kational bank, as president of his own bank, Mr. Mac ferran has acquired a thorough knowl edge and conservative judgment of financial matters. Mr. J. L. Kaines. Director. Tes. Perry is large enough a town to afford a bank, rather the country sur rounding demands one and Mr. J. L. Raines is president of it, also a director of the Aetna Building and: Loan asso ciation. Mr. Raines has spent practi cally all his life in and around Perry, building up a business and raising a son with business ability enough to leave in charge of the Perry affairs. Mr. Raines has moved to Topeka and will assist in the development and growth of the Topeka Building and Loan asso ciation. Orowth Is Gratifying. Undoubtedly, the development of the Aetna Building and Loan association has been and continues to be phenom enal. From the report it appears that 2S.0OO shares of the Aetna Building and Loan association are held by 16,000 per sons in Kansas and Oklahoma. "Thous ands of homes in both states have been built by the Aetna," said President Fitzpatrick. 'The Aetna has $200,000 in dividend stock which draws annually 6 per cent dividends. Real estate loans amount ing to a little' over $3,000,000. and loans on association stock of $109,043 are held by the Aetna Building and Loan asso ciation. These figures are given to fur nish some idea of the magnitude of the association's business, likewise showing it to be one of the biggest and soundest financial institutions in the west." The Aetna Building and Loan asso ciation is housed in its own elegant office building costing $4G,00O, con structed according to the very latest and best plans of fire proof buildintrs and has one of the largest fire proof vaults in the state.

ECKHOFF IN HIDING Until Snch Time as the Grand Jury Wants Him. Indianapolis, Jan. 4. Though every effort was made by detectives today to hide the whereabouts of Frank Eck hoff of Cincinnati, it was understood he was in this city and ready to ap pear before the federal grand Jury to tell his story about men alleged to have been associated with John J. and James B. McNamara and Ortie E. McManigal in dynamiting depreda tions over the country. Eckhoff, confident of John J. Mc Namara and a neighbor of the McNa mara families in Cincinnati, for sev eral weeks has been guarded by De tective W. J. Burns's assistants against contact with persons alleged to be in terested in sealing his lips. It is known he is one of the principal wit nesses relied upon by the government in its effort to expose groups of. men in many cities charged with having furthered explosions against property of employers of nonunion iron work ers. Interest in the report of the busi ness connections of Samuel Gompers and former Mayor Charles A. Book waiter, alleged by Detective Burns to have significance in Bookwalter's dropping his dynamiting inquiry two years ago, is following Burns to Phila delphia. He will arrive there late to day and it is believed will examine the labor union affiliations of Hugo Thorsch, who, prior to seven years ago publishedva labor paper in Philadelphia. He now is associated with Bookwalter in the printing firm in which, according to Burns, Gom pers was concerned. Tliorscli's Statement, Thorsch, in a statement today denying partnership with Gompers or seeking the labor leader's influence in getting printing contract with unions, said that the reason he moved his business from Philadelphia to Indian apolis seven years ago was that the National Union of Carpenters and Joiners transferred its headquarters. He had obtained printing orders from Frank Duffy, secretary of carpenters' umpn in Philadelphia, and he was ad vised, he said, that other labor or ganizations purposed to imitate the carpenters and move their head offices to Indianapolis. Ho Got Big Orders. Duffy was treasurer of the McNa mara defense fund board. "After I came here and as other unions moved their national offices here," said Thorsch, "I succeeded in getting big orders from the unions of teamsters, barbers, carpenters and coal miners. John Mitchell is a good friend of mine and he was president of the Mine "Workers' union. I never gfot any business from the iron work ers, though I often asked John J. Mc Namara for printing work." At none of the various national union headquarters, in this city today was it possible to obtain a statement confirming charges that labor officials were advised of the dynamiting oper ations of John J. McNamara two years 3, and that if they had acted then might have prevented tne ios Angeies Times explosion and the attendant loss of 21 lives. So affirmation was issued of Bookwalter's statement that he told a score of national labor leaders "that his investigation of local explosions had conclusively exposed the guilt of McNamara a year before the Los An geles disaster."

A little delatone is mixed with wa ter and spread on the hairy surface, then after two or three minutes it is rubbed off. the skin washed and the hairs are gone. Aside from removing hairs, delatone leaves the skin soft and white. While genuine delatone is a lit tle expensive, an ounce is ample and well worth its cost.

Friday at S "A 622 Kansas Avenue NO CASCARET USER EVER HAS HEADACHE A 10-Cent Box Will Keep Your Liver, Stomach and Bowels Clean, Pure and Fresli for Months. Sick headache, billiousness, dizziness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath always trace thein to torpid liver, delayed fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the in testines, instead of being cast out of the system is reabsorbed into the blocxi. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening head ache. Salts, cathartic pills, oil arid purga tive waters force a passageway for a day or two yes but they don't take the poisons out and have no effect upon the liver or stomach. Cascarets immediately cleanse and regfiulate the stomach, remove the sour, undigested and fermenting food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the decomposed waste matter and poisons in the intentines and bowels. A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work .vhile you sleep a 10-cent box from your druggist means inside clean liness, and a clear head for months. Ask any of the millions of Cascaret users if tlney ever have headache.
