HATTER GF WAYS AND MEANS THEY WERE NOT HAPPY The Threat to Oust All Progres sive Candidates That Complicates a Bad Situa tion to a Greater Degree. Around the state house are many rumors to the effect that the Roose velt electors are to withdraw in the next ten days from the Republican ticket In Kansas and voluntarily give way to the Taft men. Even while the Roosevelt lawyers are today In Denver arguing to keep the electors where iigthey were placed in the August pri maries, Bull Moose leaders in Kansas are holding a whispered conference in Wichita to find some logical and prac-. tical way of removing the Roosevelt candidates from the Republican column of the ballot. It is to promote harmony in the Re publican ranks that the Bull Moose electors candidates plan to withdraw or rather the Progressive leaders will request them to withdraw. That Taft Republican league has not aroused any semblance of good will and hope in Kansas and now the Roosevelt electors are slated to withdraw to thc Independent column in the hope of a united party in this state in Novem ber. Many of the Progressive leaders have expressed a willingness, even a keen desire, to vacate the Republican column to the Taft forces. Just how to do chis, is the problem that puzzled. In the party council, the resolution to request the electoral nominee to with draw was beaten for two reasons. One was the threat of William Allen White cf a third party in Kansas. The other was the fear of the wrath of voters who placed the names on the ticket. And from all sides came evidence of the indignation of the Taft people and the sincere and gen uine promise to bolt every Hull Moose on the ticket. There is little probability that the Roosevelt men will withdraw from the ticket before the visit of the rough lider in Kansas. Perhaps, it is intima ted. Roosevelt will object to the plan and spoil all the arrangements 01 me men who have consented to withdraw the electors in the hope of saving Stubbs. Capper and the other Progres sive candidates. It was to discuss these matters that a meeting of three Progressive leaders William Allen White, Henry J. Allen and Congressman Victor Murdoek is being held this afternoon in Wichita, largely on the decision of these three men will depend the final action re garding a request for the withdrawal of the Roosevelt electors from the U Should the Roosevelt electors with draw from the Republican ticket Taft leaders in Topeka declare that thoy will also insist that Stubbs, Capper. Akers, Austin and the Bull Moo:e con gressional candidates remove to the In dependent column to keep them com pany. In event they refuse to evalu ate," the plan of J. S. Dean, president of the Republican League, will prooa bly be followed by action to remove them. SHOW IN THE WEST. Colorado anil Wyoming Visited by a Ught Precipitation. Denver, Sept. 11.

Weather I'orccast for Kansas. Rain and cooler. Unsettled Sunday ALL LINES WELL PATRONIZED Grocer, Diamond Merchant and Dry Goods House All Declare Business Exceeded AH Previous Fair Weeks. Business has been brisk in Topeka this week. The merchants report an unusually good fair week trade. To peka people have spent less money at the stores than usual, possibly owing to the excitement of fair week, but the big out of town business has a good deal more than made up for a lack of activity on the part of the local shop pers. Real estate men report many inquir ies in regard to properties, but they expect to reap their results indirectly tor the most part. Continued on Page Two.l k mill rut SRnn H. B. Kelly of Kansas City Challenges W. A. White. He Wants to Bet Roosevelt Will ot Carry Kansas. If William Allen White and his fol lowers believe that Kansas is Progres sive and that Roosevelt will sweep ttu state in the November election, H. K. Kelly of Kansas City, is willing lo increase the Emporia publisher's bank account on a speculative basis. In a I letter to White, the Kansas City bond I broker advises White that he has in j his possession a certified check for I $500 that proclaims Roosevelt will not j secure a plurality in Kansas and he in vites White to cover the bet. Kelly is a staunch admirer of Taft. On several occasions in the recent pri- raary campaign, he went on record to defend the national administration. Now he has read the assurances thai i Roosevelt w ill sweep Kansas in thi i election and urges White that if run i confidence is deep rooted he can cash I his opinion at the bank when the i votes are counted. This week Kelly sent the following letter to the Emporia publisher and national committeeman for the Pro j gressive party: 1 ooserve statement rrom you mat. Roosevelt will carry Kansas, and writj to say that a $500 bet, even money is in my possession, that he will not re ceive a plurality of the votes of the state in November. "This is not a bluff, the National Rank of Commerce will issue certified check at any time called for. "If Bull Mooce !e more than noise, let it put up or cease bellowing.

Sidna Allen, leader of the Hillsville, Va., Allen gang, and Wesley Edwards, a member of the gang, were arrested here today, according to detectives from Roanoke, Va. The man believed to be Sidna Allen was captured in a house at Eleventh and Locust streets and Wesley was arrested while working with a paving gang. The arrests were made by W. (j. Raldwin and G. O. Monday, detectives from Roanoke, who trailed the pair through letters written by VetTy, Ed wards to Maude lroler, a A'irginia girl, who is said to have come here today to marry Edwards. The detectives ar rived on the same train with the girl and immediately located Sidna Allen by following her to the home of John Cameron at Eleventh and Locust streets, where Allen and Edwards were rooming. Allen was at home, and was1 taken into custody after which the officer- assisted by detectives from the local department went in search of Ed wards employed by a paving contrac tor, in the western part of the city.

Both Republican Committees for All the Candidates. Preliminary steps towards the or ganization of the Republican county candidates were taken at a meeting of the candidates held late yesterday afternoon. The candidates are arrang ing to make their assessments for cam paign expenses, and to conduct their own campaign without the assistance of either of the two Republican county central committees, as Was reported first in the State Journal yesterday. The action by no means infers that that there has been any trouble be tween the candidates and either of the committees, but rather that the can didates and committees realize that the split committee will not be able to do the aggiesive, successful work in the county campaign that a united com mittee might do, and that a separate organization, formed for the express purpose of carrying on the county cam paign, probably will result in greater good. "Our committee will do everything in its power to further the interests of the Republican county nominees." declared W. S. Fulton, secretary of the Progressive committee. There is no intimation of any oppo sition to any of the Republican candi dates for county offices," declared Dr. L. A. Kyder of the Taft committee. "The committee is in sympathy with the campaign, and will further the inter ests of the candidates by every pos sible means." Late this afternoon it is expected that the plan of the candidates to form their own organization will be endorsed by a meeting of the Progres sive committee, and members of the Taft committee declare similar action probably will be taken by that organ ization. Prior to the meeting of the county candidates yesterday, as was reported yesterday in the State Jour nal, a resolution had been prepared giving the candidates the opportunity of forming their own organization, which was receiving the support of Progressive committeemen generally, and was believed certain of passage at this afternoon's meeting. GRAND CIRCUIT RACES Syracuse, NT. Y.. Sept. 14. Three wcrld's records and a track mark were swept aside on the closing day of the grand circuit races.

Evelyn W.. the bay mare own ed by L. H. Chambers of Fort Jefferson Long Island, and driven by B. C. Shank, paced the last heat of the free-for-all in 2:00 12.

Wydrad took tht second heat of the 2:06 pace in 2:04 1-2. This is the sec ond fastest mile for four year okls mode this season. The stallion's previous mark was 2:05 1-4. Had Wydrad been able to get by Don Pronto in the final dash to the wire he would have broken th mark for stallions for four year olds. As it wa3 he forced Don Pronto to 2:03 1-2 in the final heat and was a close second. Oakda.c won the 2:0S trot, with Tom my Murphy's Marigold a good second in each heat. Warrei.

STONEDTO DEATH Pastor of a Church Is Main hj His Parishioners. Series of Sermons on "Dishon esty" Displeases Them. Charleston, "V. Va., Sept. 14. Stoned as were Stephen and Paul be cause of their efforts to carry the gos pel to those who would not receive it, the Rev. S. H. Green, pastor of the Blue Sulphur Springs Circuit Metho dist Episcopal Churchi South, died a martyr to his calling. A series of sermons on "Dishon esty." In which he prayed for the evildoers, were not well received by the uncouth mountain folk. The truth hurt. At first there were angry protests against the text. Then there were threats. The minister held to his duty. Last Sunday he held a circuit meet ing at Fry's schoolhouse in the moun tains. He laid especial stress upon his subject. There were mutterings at the meeting and faithful parishioners sought to warn the pastor. He struck out for home alone in the dusk. When he reached a lonely pass near Muddy Creek Mountain the shower of stones began. There was no shelter, so the pastor took his persecution calmly. After he had been felled the mountaineers used clubs and left him for dead. Not First Attack. The attack was not the first. During the campaign against dishonesty lo had been struck by missiles frequent ly, but without severe consequences. Each attack was from ambush, the heavy shrubbery along the mountain roads shielding the assailants. The assault of last Sunday was the direct cause of his death at his home at Ansbury, Greenbrier county. A heavy stone crushed his skull and since the attack his death has heel only a matter of hours. The identity of the assailants is in doubt. A parishioner who overheard the threats of a rough crowd in front of the schoolhouse may be able to identify its members if apprehended. "That sermon is aimed at us," mem bers of the crowd said. "He's hav ing his turn low, we'll have ours later' The minister's horse was found graz ing on the grass at the side of the road after the assault. Bloodhounds put on the trail were unable to take up the scent. Authori ties of Monroe county are at work on PLEAD WITH NEVADANS Hoo.se velt Leaves Reno for Sacramen to, Speaking All the Way. Reno. Xev., Sept- 14. Colonel Roosevelt's appeal to the people of Ne vada was made today when he passed through the state on his way to the Pacific coast. His principal address was delivered in Reno this morning. From Reno he started for Sacramento. Cal., where he was to speak this after noon. He was due in San Francisco tonight. Colonel Roosevelt was able to re main in Reno only an hour, owing to the exactions of his schedule. Sin -e he left Spokane on Monday, the colo nel has been traveling constantly ex cept for a stay of a few hours' in Port land. Ore., and trief stops at a few other points. Through Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Nevada he has been travei- I ing as fast as the men at the throt tle could speed the train, in an effort to keep up with the schedule whicn was mapped out before he left Oyst ;r Bay. Most of the time he has been luie and special trains have been arranged to make up for the loss. The delays have been due largely to ..he fact that Colonel Roosevelt was called upon to make a good many more speeches than were on the program, since tne Progressive leaders have been unwill ing to let him go away with having made only the single speech which he said he would deliver in each state. Civil War Hero and Spanish Noblewoman Separated. Mementos of Madrid Court Days in Pawnshop. New York, Sept. 14. The priceless col lection of art objects and rare editions belonging to General Daniel E. Sick les, 87-year-old veteran of wars ami diplomatic service, which recently was ordered sold under the sheriff's ham mer to satisfy an $8,000 judgment, was saved. The judgment was paid at the cost of humiliation and sacrifice on the part of the woman of noble Spanish birth whom the general married 41 years ago, but from whom he has been estranged for 27 years. (Continued on. Page Two. IT IS MENINGITIS So Say Experts on Kansas Horse Disease. The Government Veterinarians Beach This Conclusion. Experts employed by the govern ment have agreed that the disease among horses in Kansas is cerebro spinal meningitis and have wired to T. C. Wilson, secretary of the Missouri board of agriculture, that they have a preventive and possibly a cure. The telegram was sent last night from Dodge City. It reads: "We have named the horse disease. It is cerebro-spinal meningitis, and we think we have a preventive and pos sibly a cure." Dr. H. Busman, in charge of the government investigation of the horse, plague, and Dr. J. S. Buckley, path ologist of the national bureau of ani mal industry, both declared that they were convinced the disease was cerebro-spinal meningitis. Dr Sheldon departed last night for Hoxie with Dr. F. S. Schoenleber. head of the veterinary department of the Kansas Agricultural college. Both have been working at Dodge City. The agricultural college i.a.j an experiment station at Hoxie and Dr. Sheldon has telegraphed for the veterinarian in charge of the Missouri experiment sta tion to meet him there. The indica tions are that the disease will continue to spread eastward and Dr. Sheldon plans to be prepared to combat it. Reports from experts indicate that the plague is spreading southwest from Dodge City into the five jail roadless counties of the state. SHOTS ARE EXCHANGED Military and Strikers Clash in Wi-st Virginia Coal Fields. Charleston. W. Va., Sept. 14. Mili tary outposts were tired on during the early hours today at Holley, in the heart of the territory under martial law, because of the miners' strike. The pickets replied and for a time the exchange was brisk. but a careful search of the wooded hillside from which the shots came showed no evi dence that any bullets had taken ef fect. When the shooting was report ed to military headquarters Com panies A and E of Parksburg and Company I of Fairmount were order ed to the place. This is pay day in the unionized section on the north bank of the Kanawha river where the men struck last week but returned to work on Tuesday. It was signalized at Hughes ton by a fight which began at 9 o'clock, the shooting being general. It is re ported here that contending factions of miners were engaged but the result of the fighting is not yet known. Mili tary authorities are of the opinion that martial law will he extended north of the Kanawha river, as law lessness in some parts of that section is said to be increasing. It was stated today that Governor Gl&sscock had or dered an investigation with that end in view, but the proclamation is not expected before Sunday night. time being needed to send troops into the district.

The 1912 Kansas State Fair, the greatest exposition the state has ever known, is now a matter of history. The attendance was cut down considerably on account of adverse weather condi tions Wednesday and Friday, but at that the out of town attendance was the largest yet recorded. Exhibits were larger than a year ago with the excep tion of the horse display. Both visi tors and exhibitors expressed them selves as being well pleased with tht fair and the treatment received, ami the amusements and spectacles provid ed. It will probably be several days be fore a definite statement is given out by the management regarding rmuncts. Although the expenditures were heavier than ever before it is thought that there is an even break or better. The fear of rain kept the throng away from the fair grounds Friday, and Set several thousand people "braved" tin- weather. The race track was so n uiiily tint the scheduled events wire abandoned, and the entrance money refunded to the horse men. Irwin Brothers' Cheyenne Frontier Das show put on an exhibition in front of the grandstand. When the rain storm broke Friday afternoon hundreds of visitors took refuge in the concession tents. Then it was that the carnival shows and the lunch establishments did a "land of fice" business. "I heard nothing but complimentary remarks concerning the f lir," said Sec retary H. I,. Cook. "Of course weather condition did not break right for us. but we had one great day Thursday. The fair was put together with moo ease than ever before, and all depart ments were bigger and better than In previous years with the exception ol the horse department." The -swine breeders passed resolutions rhanking the superintendent of the d. -partment and management of the lair for courtCL'?s extended.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SEPTEMBER 14, 1912 SOFT FORM'ALEER Boston Owner Had Bad Luck as Clab Manager. Then He Bought Boston and Fortune Seems Made. Boston,. Sept. 14. The success of the Boston Red Sox this year means raucli to James McAIeer and Robert McRoy, ho purchased a half interest in the club last year. McAIeer, once a star center fielder when a member of the Clevelands under Pat Tebeau, has beer a loyal American League man from the time that Ban Johnson and Charley Comiskey started to organize the cir cuit. As manager of the St. Louis Brown McAIeer made a strong bid for the pen nant one year, but soon 'accidents to players and other bits of hard luck made his road a rojky one. So he glad ly consented to aaeal that placed him in charge of the Washingtons. In thai capacity McAleer met new misfortunes, and w hen the chance came to buy intc the Boston Americans he did not hesi tate. He had a snug sum saved up which he promptly invested, and, helped by some money furnished by McKoy. 50 per cent of the stock was secured. .Mc Aleer and McHoy also gave notes in dorsed by at least one rich magnate -which they will be able to take up at the end of the present campaign, es pecially if trw Red Sox happen to win the world's championship. McRoy's progress in baseball has been rapid. Formerly a Chicago newspaper man, he was appointed sec retary of the American League ty President Johnson. McRoy made a record as an expert schedule maker and became so valuable as Johnson's right hand man that Ban rewarded hirn with the Boston opportunity. Jno. I. Taylor still retains a half interest in the club, but he has had little to a'! with the management. The great success of the Boston club this season is shown by the recent se ries with Washington. The four games drew nearly 85.000 spectators Rnd the receipts were close to $44,000. Clark Griffith, the Washington iealer. carried away a check for $16,000. his bit of the series. CASE IS STILL ON. Attorneys Argue Merits of Klectors Decision Xext Week. United States supreme court which 1 held that a right to participate in the election of a member of congress is a valuable franchise, and injury to this right gives action for money damages and contended that the same conditions applied in the Kansas elec tors case. Attorney John S. Dawson, repre senting Secretary of State Charles Sessions, and L. W. Keplinger, for the Roosevelt electors, did not par ticipate in arguments today. DID NOT BEAT WIFE Jack Johnson Says He Was 'ot Cruel to Suicide. White Wife Worked Ten Hours Daily in Cafe. Denver, Sept. 14. The Kansas presi dential electors case was taken under advisement in the United States circuit court of appeals here today. It was agreed by the court that an effort would be made to reach an early de cision in order that the case may go to the supreme court in time for re view with the Harvey county case, a similar action brought against Kan sas electors. It is expected a mandate will be handed down rext Monday. 1 he case, it is agreed, will be appealed to the supreme court of the United States. Arguments in the Kansas presiden tial elector case are being heard today before the United States circuit court of appeals in Denver. Nearly two days were set aside for oratory and presentation of legal citations. D. R. Kite of Topeka will close the ar gument in Denver today in behalf of the Taft electors. A decision in the case is not expected until some time next week. The statute that gives recourse to the courts to any citizen who, by con spiracy or intimidation, is denied the right to vote for a representative in congress furnished the basis for the argument of Attorney D. R. Hite to day in the Kansas presidential elec tors case. Arguments were opened in the United States court of appeals. Judges J. E. Carland, W. II. Munger and J. H. Rirwr presiding, the case having been appealed from the deci sion of Federal Judge W. H. Sanborn. This decision held that the attempt of the Taft supporters in Kansas to enjoin Secretary of State Charles II. Sessions from certifying the names of eight Roosevelt electors to the coun ty clerks to appear on the "regular" Republican ballot did not come with in the jurisdiction of a court of equity. Attorney Hite contended that the case is one of federal jurisdiction and of equity. He declared that being de nied the right to vote for a represen tative in congress wouid be parallel tu denying that citizen the right to vote for a presidential elector, pledged to support a certain presidential candidate. Mr. Hite reviewed the announcement of the Kansas presidential electors af ter the Chicago convention that they would not support Mr. Taft. He con tended that if these electors were placed on The "regular" Republican bal lot it virtually wojld deny Taft sup porters in Kansas the right to vote for their choice for. president. Mr. Hite further contended that the signatures on the petition by whicn these electors were named were secur ed by fraud, making the case one for the recovery of pecuniary damages. Attorney General John S. Dawson, in a brief argument outlined the case ana expressed the belief that the proper course of action was an appeal to the Kansas state contest board. L. W. Keplinger, attorney for the Roosevelt electors, argued that the at titude of the eight electors is weil known and that no one in Kansas would be misled, even though their names appear on the "regular" Re publican ballot. Attorney Keplinger closed his arguments today and Mr Hite will close the case this afternoon. Denver, Sept. 14. "If the Kansas statutes expressly provided that a state officer should certify fraudu lent nominations, such statute would not justify the state officer in so do ing, because it would be void on its face," was the final point in the clos ing argument today made by D. R. Hite, representing the Taft support ers In the Kansas presidential elec tors case, before the United States cir cuit court of appeals here. The case is an injunction proceeding brought by supporters of President Taft to prevent Secretary of State Charles H. Sessions from certifying the names of eight presidential elec tors who have declared their inten tion of voting for Theodore Roose velt for a place on the regular Re publican ballot. It was appealed from the United States district court, where Judge W. H. Sanborn ruled that a court of equity had no jurisdiction.

Jack Johnson, negro champion pugilist of the world, wept as he denied ?e ever had been brutal to his white wife, Ktta Johnson, who killed herself by shooting on Wednesday night. Johnson was tes tifying at a coroner's inquest. The champion is through with the fight game for all and good, he said at the inquest. He sa'd he never will fijht again. "My wife was prostrated by over worn working over me when I was in the mood that she was in when she killed herself," said the blak prize fighter. "If it had not been for Etta I would have killed myself by leaping trom a window of a hotel in Portland, Maine, a year ago.' "My wife stayed up nights nursing me. As a. result she became a nerv ous wreck. There is no telling what I shall do now. I may kill myself. There never was a better wife. "All talk- of family trouble is false. A few days ago I bought her a dia mond ring and a sealskin coat. I may appear dry eyed now, but this morning 1 could t ot eat for weeping for my old pal, Ktta." Says She Was Despondent. Johnson's sisters, Mrs. G. Rhodes, Fannie Johnson and Mrs. Mabel Bol den, testified they knew Mrs. Johnson was despondent. "Toots" Marshall, manager of Jack Johnson's south side resort, with Will iam Ostron, also testified the negro's wife was peculiarly melancholy. Mrs. Tiny Johnson, the pugilist's mother, did not attend the inquest. Friends say the dead woman wor shiped the champion, but Jack's de votion was lacking. When the cham pion opened his cafe, Mrs. Johnson volunteered to take charge of the restaurant. She hired the help, took charge of the register in the kitchen, saw that every dinner order was cor rectjaefore the tray was sent down in the dummy waiter, and worked at least ten hours a day to help make the champion's business a success. She Was Jack's Manager. Although Johnson nas been given credit for wise matchmaking, Mrs. Johnson in many ways helped him. Many persons in the black belt con sider Jack has lost a good manager. PAWNED JEWELS. CURTIS TO D9LLEY Senator Tells Why He Has Bolted Bull Moosers. They Must Come Out for Taft if Want His Support, fCor tlr.ued trom P;e One. That the husband with whom she could not find happiness might not know the sorrow of parting with his loved books and works of art, this woman took her jewels, tokens of the happy days of her youth, when she was a belle at the Spanish court, and passed them over the counter of a Sixth avenue pawnshop. She parted with enough gems to draw from the coffers of the money lender the money needed to satisfy the judgment against Gea Sickles' relics. Sobs as She Views Jewels. Accompanied by her son, Stanton, Mrs. Sickles went to the Knickerbocker Trust company soon after noon ana took away a pasteboard box contain ing her jewels. The two then pro ceeded to the pawnshop. There, with trembling hand. Mrs. Sickles broke the string that bound the cover to the lit tle box she laid on the counter. Tears trickled down her cheeks. Hei son stood L. her side, his head bared Mrs. Sickles took the jewels from the box one by one, memories of the glori ous days of youth and romance. There were ropes of pearls, heavy bands ol gold set with diamonds and bracelets and brooches of antique design. There was one jewel, a diamond and sapphire bracelet, over which she lin gered long before parting. Blinded by Uars, she stretched out her hand to lay this with others which were to be hid away in the money lender's safe. It fell to the floor. As young Stan- top, Sickles picked it up and put it in its place his mother said: "That was the gift from your father that I loved most. He gave it to me the day you were born." Walks Far to Pay Judgment. Mrs. Sickles is more than 60 years old. She was dressed simply in black. When the money was handed to hei by the pawnbroker she tucked it in the bosom of her dress and then walk ed to the offices of the Lincoln Trust company, which held the judgment against General Sickles. She was ush ered into the office of Vice President Webb. Without knowing it, she sai directly beneath a picture of Lincoln, who was her husband's friend and commander in the civil war days. Mr. Webb waived the costs and sheriff's fees and accepted only the amount of the original note and inter est, amounting to $S.066. "I have done it for him," Mrs. Sickles said in English, marked by aj sort Lastiuan accent, and tears rolled down her pallid cheeks. "My mother and I did not know that father was in trouble until a week ago. when we read it In the newspa pers." said Stanton Sickles, the gen eral's son who lives with his mothei and has been connected with the dip lomatic service. In reply to the charges by Chair man J. N. Dolley that he has bolted the Republican ticket, United States Senator Charles Curtis last night made reply and declared that he will vote and work for the entire ticket if all the candidates will declare allegiar.ee to Taft. The Dolley-Curtis controversy arose because of a recent speech by Senator Curtis in Arkansas City in which he flayed Governor Stubbs and the Progressives in the Republican state ticket. Replying to Dolley's charge that lie is not a Republican, Curtis says in part: "In your issue of September 13, 1912, you print a statement given out by the Honorable J. N. Dolley, who is Governor Stubbs' man Friday, ar;1 who is very much mistaken when he says I am bolting any RepuDiican x am supporting and advising my friends to suDDort everv Republican on tne national, state and county ticket, but I sav that the ReDublicans of Kansas are under no moral or political obli gation to support any man who is nat a Republican and who is opposing the Republican nominees for president and vice president. There is nothing personal in this matter with me. it is a question of principle. In my judg ment, a man who will asK for th-5 nomination on a ticket when he openly admits he does not intend to support nominees for president and vice presi dent of the party, and who does not indorse and stand on the national plat form of his party is a political coward and is unfit to be on any ticket. Had Mr. Stubbs announced, even after lus so-called nomination at a primary where he was repudiated by a majo-lty of the Republicans, that he would sup port the Republican nominee? for president and vice president, and that he indorsed the national Republican platform. I should have supported him. Denies Stubbs' Republicanism. fr- Tiollev does not deny the charge I make that Governor Stubbs is not a Republican, and he does not deny the charge I make mat oovemui oiu-. before the primary, August 6, 1912. had bolted the Republican nominees i" president and vice presiaenr. ana he had refused to indorse the platform adopted at the national Kepuui.i convention. He says that I went intc i, rimrv with Governor niuuu ..-v,aT, v tmth is I announced my can didacy long before the governor made Hi announcement, ana me govci.. his formal announcement aftei he had given notice that he would not Ronnh pan nominees iui suppi'it nrafi.nt and vice president.

Just to keep this ,,oat(nn before Mr. Dolley, I desire to call attention to the following, taker. from Mr. Stubbs' interview. Lays Down Challenge. "Now to test the Republicanism of Mr. Dollev, chairman, the candidates for presidential electors, the candidate for United States senator, the candi dates for congress in the various dis tricts and the candidates for the va rious state, county and district of fices, I make this proposition: If the chairman will reorganize the state committee so that only persons shall be members who are loyally support ing the Republican nominees for president and vice president: if the electors will pledge themselves to support the Republican nominees for president and vice president, Taft and Sherman; if the candidate for the United States senate and the candi dates for congress will come out open ly for such nominees for president and vice president, and agree to stand on the Republican national platform, and if the candidates now on the Re publican ticket for the various state, county and district offices will come out for the national Republican nomi nees, I will join them, put in all my time, pay all my own expenses and travel from one end of the state to the other advocating the election of the entire Republican ticket. This is a fair proposition and I urge Mr. Dol ley as chairman, and the others, to come out and be men, show their real colors. If they are Republicans there should be no trouble. If they are not Republicans, then they should have the manhood to get out of the Republican column and take their places where they belong. "Very truly, CHARLES CURTIS."

W WHO MAKES SURE Train 3Iay Be Delayed, but Pas sengers SaTed. Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. One man sitting in a locomotive cat) 'ith a train full of passengers be hind him struck a cloudburst on Sun day, says thd Chicago Tribune. The track was new. The rain poured down like a waterfall. But the engineer drove into it at thirty miles an hour until he drove into a washout. Ke died and six with him, and 22 wero seriously injured. Another engineer, not many miles away, encountered another norm, lie expected to find a bridge The bridge was not there. Four died of that mis take and six wero seriously hurt. There was another engineer who drove into the storm area with passen gers in his care. He remembered a danserous river crossing and be fort; he reached it he stopped his train. A brakeman went up the track to make surp. The bridge was not there. This ensineer's train was late, be cause he took time to be cautious. But it was not as late as eternity. .Safety devices are very important, pood equipment is important, the block system saves many lives. But the block system that is most impor tant deals with the engineer's "block otherwise know n as his head), and with the "block" f every employee who assists in the operation of tracks and trains. And the first thing in that system is a brake on the Ameri can willingness to "take a chance." "Within bounds that willingness mean:, enterprise and prosperity; abused, it means waste and death.

"Because the rail"" is have maintained almost perfect pilcnce." he said. it has been inferred that some thing is wrong. Silence has been mis taken for secrecy. "Occasional official utterance if al most without an audience. The pub lic needs to be informed steadily and sincerely by .Tien and methods the public understand?. Railways have a right to say to the public that today they are the creature and servants of the public as completely as if the na tion owned them, except that the na tion does not accept responsibility for financial results. "That being the case, the railways are entitled to expect the same fair treatment acc orded any other business, public or private. The railways have a right to ask. in the public interest, as well as their own, that the capital invested in them be allowed to earn such liberal returns that further capi tal will be inluced to enter the rail way field, to the upbuilding of the state and the nation. Liberal treat ment of the railways now in operation is the surest way of attracting other railways. Harsh treatment keej s others out." -Dear Theodore" and "Dear Will" during tha last Presidential campaign. Gentle reader, don't be shocked or frightened. Tbls isn't a, recent picture. In fact. It was taken during the last presidential campaign, hnd Is used at this time just to show that after all friendship is but a fleeting thing. It was always "Dear Theodore" and "Dear Will" in those "dear old days beyond recall." Now it is well, no matter what. The terms of endearment have been dropped and other terms have taken their places with the Central Passenger associa tion, and they have agreed to cease booming these excursions." VSK SANTA Tlunior I K LINK IN WKST. snv Hock Island Will I so Track Agreement. San Bernardino, 'al., Sept. 14. It is aeain geenrally reported that Ilock Island trains are to run through Par ker over the Santa Fa lines at no dis tant date. It is known that President Mud pre was through Arizona recently and the plans here outlined seem plausible as they have for a long time. It may be that something is about to be done. Pecent developments in railway cir cles indicate that within a year or two the Rock Island will be ready to run trains into San Bernardino on its own rails or at least have the greater part of the distance from El Paso to Los Angeles covered by its own rails, in which even the road probably would arrange with some other line for an entrance to the coast. In any event it ts believed that the company is seek ing to terminate the 'ease which it now lias for the use of the Southern Pacific tracks from F.I Paso to Los Angeles.

Sandles. secretary of ihe state board of agriculture of that state, is attempting to have such ex cursions abolished. In a campaign against such excursion. Mr. Sandles has taken for his slogan "unexcelled farm lands in Ohio, and at a price less than $100 an acre." "I have always felt." said Mr. Sandles. "that these ex cursions have done more harm than good. They have laken hundreds of people out of the state. We have 141,000 acres of abandoned farm lands in this state, due mostly to homeseek ers' excursions. I have taken this up KANSAS GOSSIP. Convicted of Larceny. Dodge City. Kan., Sept. 14. Will Wat son was found guilty in the Ford coun ty district court, of grand larceny, for robbing the Redell jewelry store re cently. The charge was burglary, but the jury took charge of matters and convicted of larceny, which means five years or less imprisonment. Paroled I3oy (ioes Wrong:. Eureka. Kan., Sept. 14. About six weeks ago a set of harness was taken from a barn near Madison one night and the next day a young man who apparently was traveling through the country, was found to be in possession of the harness. He was arrerted and pleaded not guilty at his preliminary hearing and for the past six weeks has been in the county jail here await ing the October session of the district court. Yesterday. Charles Martin, of the Hutchinson reformatory, was here and identified the young man as a for mer inmate of the reformatory, whe came from Parsons to serve a five year sentence for burglary. Homer Long was a model prisoner and after serv ing IS months was paroled. S. F. Wic ker, county attorney, advised the young man if he was guilty to admit his guilt and return to Hutchinson. He did this, and was taken back to Hutch inson last night to serve the balance of his sentence, three and one-half years. Teachers Got Iorc Money. SaHna, Kan., Sept. 14. During the pa.-it year, according to the report Coun ty Superintendent W. E. Connelly has just compiled, the school teachers of Saline county received larger salaries than ever before, and there is every indication that the salaries for the coming year will be still greater. The report also shows that male teachers receive larger salaries than female. The average current salary for female teachers is $49.93 per month, while the average salary for the men is $67.34. The average salary for teachers tnrougnout the county is $"2.55. The only explanation Mr. Connelly can of- ter tor tne difference in favor of the men is the fact that men have been chosen in schools" where the larger sal aries are paid.

Evan tvans and family of Lebo had a narrow escape from death Thursday nisni aooui near Burlingame, while on their return from the state tair at lopeka.

Moving Pictures for Schools. University of Kansas, Sept. 14- Following Thomas Edison's suggestion that grammar and high schools should use the motion picture machines as a method of instruction. Professor Rich ard R. Price of the extension depart ment has arranged for a series of pic ture lessons in morals for Kansas schools. Milton Fairchild of Balti more, lecturer of the National Insti tution for Moral Instruction, has been procured to give a carefully prepared talk on what is right and fine in con duct as an explanation of the photo graphs while the students are study ing them on the scene. Youngsters in the grammar school, for example, will see 100 pictures tak en from real life, showing what me.-i think about boys' fights. Most fights are foolish, bullies are cowardly, but t"ie boys will bee that there are times when it is manly to fight. Lectures and pictures for high schools are "The True Sportsman." "Conduct Becoming a Gentleman," "Personal and National Thrift." As it is a part of the exten sion work of the university The lec tures will be free. Mr. Fairchild will reach Lawrence about November 1 I and will spend a month traveling over the state. The itinerary will be an nounced later. College Herd to Hutchinson. Manhattan, Kan., Sept. 14. With its 17 head of sleek, fat cattle the agri cultural college is one of the big ex hibitors this week, in the cattle de partment of the state fair at Topeka. The herd includes Shorthorns, Here fords. Angus and one Galloway. The largest animal in the herd is Orange Dale, a 2 year old Shorthorn steer weighing 1,810 pounds. The college herd will go to Hutchinson next weeK for an exhibition there. From there they will be taken to St. Joseph. Mo., to the interstate fair; then to the American Royal in Kansas City, and, finally, completing the season at the International show at Chicago. Sell Carload of Seed Cottonwood Falls,. Kan., Sept. 14. The most valuable carload of grain shipped from this place this season was a car of alfalfa seed containing 9S0 bushels, worth $7 a bushel, which was sent to an Iowa seed house yes terday. The value of the car of seed was something over $6,500, or enough to pay for a respectable Kansas farm. Students Study Horse Disease. Manhattan. Kan., Sept. 14. Eight or ten senior students in the veterinary school of the agricultural college have gone to Hoxie, Kan., to work in the laboratory which has been fitted -ip there, temporarily, by college bac- leriologists who are investigating the new disease that kills horses. These j students w ill help in inoculating horses with a serum which is being tried out as a preventive for the disease They will hold post mortems over dead animals and othewise assist in the ex perimental work of this emergency station. The experience, of course will be very valuable to the students and their help is needed. One thousand horses, voluntarily of fered by farmers in that vicinity, will be used in the test of the new serum. To give the proper attention to that many animals will require all the help the "veterinary department can spa.ro The students will remain on duty until the epidemic is over or until some sat isfactory results are obtained. CAUGHT BY CAVE-IX, UNHURT. Miner Lives Eight Hours and Is Res cued toy Comrades. Weir City, Kan., Sept. 14. Louis Martelo, an Italian miner, was im prisoned for eight hours in mine No. 42 of the Central Coal Coke com panw here. A cave-in at 9 o'clock cut off the only means of escape. A crew of 7 5 men worked in relays until 5 o'clock in the afternoon before he was rescued. An air hole was cut through IS feet of coal which was piled up in the entrance to the drift where he worked and he was able to breathe freely. His only injuries were severe cruises to his body. i ABOUT LOUNSBERRY. Higrti Standing There. A Duluth, Minn., man writes to the State Journal to say that Wells Lounsberry, in jail here for the rob bery of a Union Pacific mall train, bears a good reputation in his vicin ity, where he spent a considerable part of his life. The letter particularly emphasizes the prominence and good reputation of Lounsberry's father. Col. C. A. Lounsberry, who was here for several days after his son had con fessed to the robbery. Lounsberry has recovered from his self-inflicted wound, and is waiting at the county jail for the indictment of the federal gTand jury and subse quent hearing in the federal court. "The train robber, Wells Lounsber ry, in your city bastile," the Duluth man writes, "was formerly a resident of Duluth, well thought of, and at one time was a printer on The Her ald, and afterwards a route agent between Duluth and St. Paul for a number of years. His father in the early days was a prominent figure in North Dakota politics and came with in a few votes, many years ago, of being a United States senator from that state. His mother died here last fall, at which time Wells Lounsberry who now lives in Oregon, was here and attended the funeral. itis three brothers reside In this city, one of them being the foreman of the Herald ad room, another owning a large job printing office in this city and the third being the largest contractor and erector of business blocks in the city. It was he who built The Herald build ing eight or nine years ago. I feel very sorry for them that this pro cedure on the part of a relative should hurt their exceptionally good reputa tion in this city, if such is the case." HOLD FAIR ON TIME. No Talk of Postponing Morris County Meeting, Secretary Says. Council Grove, Kan., Sept. 13. In a statement given out here today M. W. Perry, secretary of the Morris county fair association, denied that the fair would be postponed on account of the horse disease or that there had been talk of such action. "There is no talk of discontinuing or postponing the fair," Mr. Perry said. "I can not understand how such a re port was started. The false story will injure the fair I fear, but there is nothing to the story and no reason the fair should be postponed. There is not a single case of horse disease m Morris county. "You may be sure the Morris county fair will be held on the dates an nounced and that nothing will be done to expose horses or other live stock to any danger." Mr. Perry made diligent inquiry after reading the article in which it was stated that there was talk of post poning the fair, and said he could find no one who had heard such talk. WITHDRAWS FOR WOMAN. Winfield Democrat Says She Has Claim on Office. Winfield, Kan., Sept. 1 4. P. H. Guy, who was nominated by the Democratic party at the August primary for clerk of the district court, has withdrawn in favor of hus Republican opponent, Mrs. Anna L. Tonklnson. In his pub lished letter of withdrawal Mr. Guy says "I am convinced that a majority of the Democratic voters of Cowley coun ty believe, as I do, that there is a high er service for the party than that of attempting to defeat a woman for of fice, situated as Mrs. Tonkinson is at this time, and with the claim she has upon the people."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SEPTEMBER 14. 1912 5 ITS LASTJOURNEY Bodj of the Late Mikado Con Teyed by Train To Its Final Resting Place at Monoyama. WILL BE BURIED TOMORROW Distinguished Party of Mourn ers on Funeral Train. The Locomotive Is Draped With Emblems of Mourning. JAPAN PLUNGED IN DEEPEST MOURNING AS FUNERAL SERVICES FOR LATE EMPEROR ARE HELD AT TOKIO; SEC. KNOX ATTENDS Kioto. Japan. Sept. 14. The imper ial train bearing- the body of the late emperor Mutcuhito which left Aoyama early today following the conclusion of impressive ceremonies in the (Treat funeral hall there arrived at Kioto this afternoon. The body will receive tinal burial tomorrow in the imperial mausoleum at Monoyama, an imperial estate five miles south east of Kioto. During the 350 mils journey the tram made several stops to permit the peo ple of the country districts to pay their respects to the dead sovereign. Thousands gathered along the route and bowed their heads as the train passed. An imperial salute was fired by the Japanese war ships in Tokio hay as the funeral train passed the ci.ost towards Yokohama. The casket had been left in the fi.neral hall at Aoyama by the imper ial family, in charge of the Shinto ritualists and representatives of his majecty. A special railroad line had been built from the main track to a small station in the rear of the funeral hall, and there the funeral train was in waiting. The train was composed of large locomotive draped with mourning flags, a composite car and four othr passenger cars, the funeral car occupying the center of the trr.in. The interior of the funeral car was divided into three compartments. The center was reserved for the coffin. The middle room was filled with a side door to permit of the passage f the huge casket. The outside of the tar was painted crimson lake and the interior was covered with white silk. The coffin rested on a dais raid ed two feet above the floor. The party of mourners who accom panied the laf; emperor's body on its journey to Monoyama included repre sentatives rf the holders of orders of merit, of ministers of state, of the army and n::vy and of various grades of of ficials. The commander of the six teenth division of the army and the commander in chief of the Maidzuru naval station accompanied the train, together with the presidents of the house of peers and the house of repre s ntativts the governor of Kioto pre fecture, the president of the Kioto as sembly and a number of peers residing in the district of Kioto. HIS RATRIOTTC IUTY. View of Xogis SuicUle Taken by the Japanese Nation. Tokio. Sept. 15. The dramatic death of General Count Maresuki Nogi, the soldier hero of Japan and that of his Tvife, the Countess Xogi, who yester day, coincidently with the departure from the capital of the body of the late emperor, Mutsuhito, for its final rest ing place at Monoyama, committed suicide the general by gashing his throat with a sword and the countess by stabbing hersel in the ab domen, is regarded by the great soldiers of Japan and by the general s other' countrymen as a magnificent act of patriotic duty. But the nation being in the deepest mourning and the new emperor being forced into seclusion by the death o his father, it is impossible to confer the usual posthumous honors and con sequently General Xogi officially is not dead.. The count last Thursday, prior to at tending the funeral of the emperor, summoned a photographer to his home in Akasaki. a suburb of Tokio, and in the garden of his residence posed with his wife while their picture was being taken. Afterward the count and ccunteas attended the early funeral ceremony at the imperial palace, later, visiting the chamber where the body of the emperor was lying in state, the soldier knelt before the bier several minutes offering homage to his departed sovereign and friend. Returning homeward Count Jsogi call ed at the palace of Prince Fushimi, where he was a member of the recep tion committee. "When he reached his home the general wrote a letter to his new sovereign and then placed a band of crepe around a wall picture of Mut suhito. The count and countess then dressed themselves in full Japanese costume and drank from cups, which had been the gift of the emperor to the general, a farewell draft of sake. When the booming of a single gun, fired in the palace grounds to notifj the populace that the emperor's body was being moved toward its last rest ing place, echoed through the Nogi home, the hero of Port Arthur stood erect and plunged a short sword into his throat. The countess stabbed her self in the stomach. Both were breathing when found by an inmate of the Xogi home, but be fore aid could reach them they were dead. Letters left by General Xogi. it is understood explain hi3 deed and also" contain an apology to Prince Arthur of Connaught. the special am bassador of Great Britain at the im perial funeral, to whom the Japanese toldler was specially attached. Xo mes sages of condolence in connection with the suicide of the count and counters will be sent for several days. Emperor Yoshihito today expressed the wish that none of the plans of the special foreign envoys be changed. Philander C. Knox, the special American ambas sador and his suite, will visit Xikko this afternoon for sightseeing among the temples and mortuary shrines there. Mr. Knox will return to the capital Sunday. He will be received in fare well audience by the emperor and will attend a luncheon at the palace Mon day. The other special envoys are visiting points of interest. A. R. Higdon Is Dead Atchison.

The funeral of he late Emperor Mutsuhito of Japan has begun here and the entire nation will be plunged in deepest mourning until the last service will have ended. The Emperor Yoshihito and the empress dowager were present at the service this morning, but there will be an other ceremony this evening, which they will not attend. Tonight. ;;t 7 o'clock, the elder statesmen, the peers, all the nigh officials and he foreign representatives, among whom will be Philander C Knox, American secretary of state, are to assemble at the palace, fnm which the procession will start at S o'clock. Emperor Yoshihito will not join the procession, out will meet on the Aoyama parale grounds. The line of the procession. which will be a very long one, is to be in terspersed with musician?. torcn bearers, and officials carrying em- blems, wlnle many priests also w participate- The coffin containing the body of the late emperor is to be drawn by a team of oxen. The entire route is .o be lined by soldiers of the regular army. Immediately after the arrival of the procession at Aoyama the funeral service will begin, and will comprise the full and imposing Shinto ritual. After the services the emperor w.ll personally read a tribute to the dead monarch, and this will be followed by another read by the empress dowager, who will be succeeded by the ministers of state and others, the musicians' meanwhile continuing to play funeral airs. At the conclusion of this service fhe imperial train is to leave Kioto, but Emperor1 Yoshihito and the empres dowager will not travel on it. Th3 train is scheduled to arrive at tho station, especially built at Momoyama, 3t 5:10 p. m. today and a similar procession to that arranged from the palace to the Aoyama parade ground will follow. Various' tributes to the late emperor's memory will be read beside the tomb. Further services are to lie held on Sunday and these will conclude the funeral ceremony. It is the imperial custom that the funerals of the members of the royal family are held during the night. The night is the time for rest and peace, and the night is the time for deep mourning- At the funeral uniforms of all kinds will be discarded, except those of army and navy officers. The people who will participate in the service will wear the old Japanese costi'mes. The new emperor will wear the old cos tume, which he has never worn in his life. Everything will be of the oil Japan of many centuries ago. Even the laborers who carry the evergreen trees, and clerks who perform the minor duties of the service will wear the old costumes. The service is simple. The high priest of the Shinto will make a lengthy prayer for the spirit of the late emperor and every word will bo the old Japanese word and no mod ern language will be used. When the prayer is over the new emperor will place a small branch, of the evergreen tree on the grave of his father and he will be followed in this by the empress and other members of the royal fam'ly. Then the high of ficials will also take their branches of evergreen tree. At the service the light will be fur nished by pine tree bonfires and no other light will be used. With the slow and melancnoly music of old Japan, with the people costuri ed in the old dresses surrounding the flickering pine fires, the scene will not suggest a single aspect of the modern Japan, and listening to the pries!".? prayer in the old language the people will feel that hey were in the Japan of many centuries ago.

The money situation was the sole factor of impor tance in this week's stock market, the Mexican troubles, and the Maine elec tion passed almost unnoticed. Call money at 5 per cent made a record quotation for the year, while all time accommodations hardened materially. Further drain by the subtreasury ard irterlor institutions on local banks points almost conclusively to a deficit in the cash reserves of today's bank statement. The loss of cash approxi tent the adverse situation is likely to be seen how the loan account will work out. Banks and trust companies clled loans very generally in the lat ter days of the week and to that ex tent the adverse sitpation is likely to be corrected. From present indica tions call money is likely to hover be tween five and six per cent for the balance of the month, and a higher rate is not improbable. Stocks moved perfunctorily, every session showing its professional im pulse. Leading issues moved narrow ly with few important changes. The heaviness of the early week being partly offset by later firmness. Routine news included the very excellent state ments for the United States Steel cor poration and the Copper Producers' association, both disclosing highly favorable trade conditions. Even more brilliant, however, was the gov ernment crop report, which fully con firmed earlier promises. FRUIT IN GOOD SHAPE. Wellhouse Reports It Var in Advance of Last Year. Conditions of the Kansas fruit crop are far in advance of those of a year ago, according to a report issued by W'alter Wellhouse, secretary of the State Horticultural society.

A motion for a new irial in the case of Caroline Austin against the Topeka Railway company was overruled by Judge George H. Whitcomb this morn ing. Mrs. Austin secured a verdict for damages in the sum of a little more than $1,000 for personal injuries al leged to have been received when a car from which she was alighting j started before she had left it. The ae cident ocurred at the corner of East I Sixth and Chandler street. and the plaintiff testified the street car men left her lying where she had been thrown on the pavement in an uncon- j scions condition. Two cases in which John F. Hanson of Lindsborg was interested were dis posed of by Judge George H. Whit- j comb this morning, both being de-I t ided against Hanson. The first was j a motion for a new trial in the case j of Justus B. Linderholm against the officers of the state hospital for the insane and others, asking damages for false confinement in the sum of $40.-; 000. A jury in the second division of j the district court decided that Lin- derholm was not entitled to damages, and returned a verdict for the defense, j The second case was that of Hanson j himself against the state board of i control in which attorney's fees werei asked on cases Hanson had in the j ajjylum, and which he says he lost i because the board shut him out of the hospital. A demurrer in this case was sustained on the ground that the peti tion did not state facts sufficient to conssitute a cause of action. i IT HAJEi Reliable p Lasting VU113V1C11IUU9 DENTIS1 TXT We guar- Positively NO PAIN That no one may be disappointed on account of the tremendous rush of the past week we have decided to extend our FREE dental work offer a few days more.

The resolu tion allowing; the candidates to run their own campaign was expected to pafs. but at 3 o'clock this afternoon the sentiment was so strong against it that it was withdrawn. The committee will likely require an assessment of the can didates and start in to run the county campaign in the regular way. If this is done it will be checked up to the candidates. The Taft branch of the committee had agreed to keep out of the county campaign. THEY TOOK THE CHANGE Youns Couple Braved Friday and Got Married. 13lh POLICE JOTTINGS.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUE1TAL SEPTEMBER 14, 1912 s STREET CAR COST It Takes Twenty Trips to Pay for One Lonely Tie. A Rail Requires 900 Clicks of the Cash Register. THE BIG SWEDE 000 annually to keep -up the wages of the street car crews. It wouldn't be lair probably to translate this Into fare terms but as a trial here It is 1,700,000 trips. Cost to Heat the Cars. ir X ,,..i;,., ;,,ti Varxara It costs ?3,000 a year to heat the "i'" ..v A POPULAR OUTDOOR SPORT Topekaus L,ove to Complain of Car Service. Street Railways Abused, Bat tered Corporations. One of the most popular ir.door and outdoor sports, spring, summer, f!l and winter, is to slam your lists on th-i table, grind your teeth until thev ache, swear at the top of your vo ce and pile up like blocks, complaints on the street car service- Everybody's rioin' it. They always have done it and even If the Topeka Railway com pany installed half-minute service, furnished triple truck cars, provided free cigars with added lunch, and ct fered a bonus to passengers someone would rise up and with clenched fists declare that the company should have cut flowers in every window. It's a part of human nature this street car indigestion and congestion. In every city in the world you will fjnd strap hangers who are hunting with a hangman's noose, the superm- enrient of the street railway. two subjects always come up for discus sion when tne commuters nue uuwn town in the morning the weather and the "rotten street car service. Topeka street car patrons are like all of them they will wipe the morn ing egg from the corners of ther mouths and rave because the car was thirteen scco.ids late at their street crossing. It's a great sport even pa tient conductors laugh with the pa trons and agree that the superinten dent ehnnlii have a job greasing the trat-ks Albert If. I'atten, general superin tendent of the Topeka and Wichita street railway, is a philosopher. He realizes Topeka should have halt minute service on every line m town. He agrees that the cars should be ,i-v,t times as long as they are wuh a "coat fnr each passenger. He knows that it is an outrage for a patron to wait longer than thirteen seconds for a car. He insists that 5 cents is just a (c Viirh fnr fares and he considers it ridiculous that transfers are not universal and not accepted after they are five hours Id. Patten Has a New Idea. As a philosopher, he realizes all these things- As a railway superin tendent, of eourse, he is rather mod nnmini T-is-ht out and en forcing his vies. He would much ather wait until tne puunv, mmipsion and tne city tu.um... 1,0. o fervm m on t- ers Kmaiy requcoi m- -tions then he seems anxious to pla.e them in effect. .ot But as a man who deals with street car passengers and a man who tries to run a street car system to the satis faction of the stockholders he makes no such promises to the patrons. Contrary to the belief of many street car haters, it costs money to run a street railway system. Strange, isn t if General Superintendent Patten aliowed a visitor to go through one ot his expenditure books the other day and he found many interesting feat ures that will make the kick ing, snorting, stomach-aching passen ger stop and think. For instance: Cost or Street Car Appliances. Did you ever stop to realize that vou have to make twenty trips on a car before your fares will amount to the cost of one wooden tie. Think of it iust one tie! And the Topeka Rail way company recently purchased 10, 00 "ties. It will take 200,000 fares to pay for these ties. And the rails. Each rail costs $45. In other words, you have to take 900 rides before vour receipts pay tor one rail. Probably you ride on the street car an entire year before you drop enough nickels in the box to pay for one steel rail. That little punch the conductor uses to designate your transfers it takes 2 5 rides to pay for one of those punches. And the transfers them selves the Topeka company pays $1, 6 00 a year to have these printed. Re duce it to rides it requires 32,000 passengers to pay the cost of printing something that is given away. The conductor's pay? To carry this fare synonym on the conductor has to collect thirty fares before his day's wages fall in the box. It costs $S5,- cars. Three thousand pounds or an thracite coal is burned every day in the winter months. It costs the com pany $6 every time a car is cleaned and fumigated. Each car is painted once a ear this costs 1,800 fares. More than $22,000 is spent each year for the repair and maintenance of the equipment. The fenders mean 150 fares and the headlights require a collection of 500 nickels. The cars themselves Involve no small expenditure. The single truck cars on the Topeka railway represent 76,000 rings of the register. The double, truck cars cause the conduc tors to pull the cash register cords 100,000 times. And so it goes on down the list of expenditures. It's a patriotic, popular and politi cally-approved feeling to drop a "iit ney" in the pay-as-you-enter box and condemn the corporations while you are doing it. Railway companies lead all others they are the red dragons or an pudiic utilities. Topekans have just as much fun as anyone snorting at the street car company it's a part of the daily grind and one of the refreshing topics to discuss while riding down town in the morning. But it still requires twenty clicks of tne money box to pay for one buried; batter and abused tie. From Federal Clerk. Wanted to Swear With Both Hands in Air.

In fact when politics was mentioned tc the versatile Hutchinson man, he pull ed his hat down a little tighter and suggested that he would rather ex plain how the rains spoiled the auto mobile show which he came to Topeka to attend. "Topeka would have had a good auto mobile show if this rain hadn't come just when it did." suggested .Morgan when he was asked who would carry the Seventh district. "But," suggested the reporter, "is it true that the Seventh district is slip ping and won't roll up the usual ma jority for the ticket this fall?" Well, I don t know, solemnly re plied the Hutchinson editor. "Things are not right bright out our way There's that horse plague you know but the reporter stopped him. "Well, 1 started to say," continued Morgan "people sort of have the blind stag gers, or the spinal meningitis or their system full of the palisade worm or something like that and Lord only knows what they will do. Politically they seem to have gone stark mad crafci for a change and it looks af though they, might get it. "No," said Morgan as he sadly shook his head, "it isn't any cinch that the ticket is in the very best shape and you can view it from any angle yot like. Tell you the truth, I don't like the looks of things at all." "What do you think of the contro versy between Dolley and Curtis?" was asked. "That's an unfortunate thing, too. That jolt at Curtis wes a contract Mr, Dolley should have let out. Curtis has lots of personal friends, one of the strongest personal followings of any man in the state and a fight on him won't increase the Republican majority very much. The Curtis strength was shown in the primaries when he outran Stubbs and the Roose velt electors carried the state by 40,000. No," and again there was a serious, solemn shake of the Hutchin son man's head, "things don't look right bright and they are not improv ing very rapidly." The itinerary for Colonel Roosevelt's invasion of Kansas has been made public by William A'len White, na tional committeeman for the Progres sive party in Kansas. Roosevelt comes to this state Saturday. Septem ber 21, will make the trip through the state on a special train and fill numer ous speaking engagements. The Roosevelt train will leave Kan sas City, Kansas, at 8:15 Saturday morning after the rough rider has made a speech from the steps of the public library. The morning stops will be at Lawrence, Baldwin and Ot tawa. In the afternoon Olathe, Paola, LaCygne. Fort Pcott, lola, Humboldt and Chanute will be visited. Roose velt will probably y.pend the night in Chanute, arriving In that town at 8:15 in the evening. Most of the stops will be of five and ten minutes duration. At Ottawa the Roosevelt special will stop 40 minutes for lunch. On the second day of the trip. Coffeyville, Independence, Par sons, Cherokee and Pittsburg will probably be visited. White has asked the Progressive workers in each of the towns to be visited to raise $50 to help defray ex penses of the trip through this state. The entire expense of ihe special will be met from funds raised by the Kan sas Progressives. When a reporter passes the office of the United States commissioner and discovers that dignitary apparently holding up a rawboned Swede, the re porter stops to investigate. The S.vede, in an attitude of extreme be wilderment, had his hands above his head; the commissioner, wrath ram pant in his face, shook one fist in the air. "Put your hands down," he com manded sternly. The big, blond youth obeyed In re lief. "Now," pursued the commissioner, "raise your right hand; right; night, I say. There, that's It." Whereupon he administered the oath of citizenship, and handed the boy his naturalization papers. "Now, wait a minute," said, Llowly; "sit there till I get back." The reporter strolled In. Alois, bland smile on his rosy face, began the conversation, "Come-a to Topek for to see fair. Spend-a all money. Stay home today. Great, fat fair "Yes," grinned the reporter. "What did you like best?" Alois spread his hands in an ai tude of extreme munificence, "Like-a all things that is big and fat. Like-a bull; biggest and best." He plunged into an untranslatable rhapsody on the monstrosities of the midway. "Horse no good," he broke off. "Why?" said the reporter, weakly. Alois smiled his inane smile, and whispered with with confidence, "He stink!" Conversation somewhat lagged until the commissioner returned. "Here you are, Alois." said he, "here's your papers. Goodbye." "Good-bye," Eaid Alois, grinning. "Come see you again. Come in ninety days" Alois was apparently susceptible to the fair sex, for he meandered toward the room of the pretty office girl? Bestowing upon them his invariable smile, he was overcome with embar rassment, and plunged into the sut? ply closet. Once In, he did not know how to get out; It never occurred to him to turn around. Dazed, he re volved slowly in the center of the floor. Finally some kind person led him to the hall. In some way he land ed in the office of the assistant district attorney. "That fellow's so dog gone green," chuckled the latter, "that he couldn t be any greener." The federal crerk's office was in a a uproar. "This is the first fun we've had this year." declared the commissioner. "Here's to Alois, and a firm hope he comes back In ninety days!" PROSPERITY IS SURE. Shortage in Money, Labor and Cars But Not Business. KILLED BY HAZERS, Death of a Freshman Charged to Four Sophomores. Chapel Hill, N. C, Sept. 14. Isas.-i William Rand, of Smithfield, N. C, a freshman at the University of North Carolina, was killed while being put through a hazing prank. Four sopho more students were held by the coro ner in $5,000 bail each for causing ms death. At the coroner's inquest the evidence showed that Rand had been taken out by the second-year classmen and forc ed to mount a barrel. He was ordered by them to sing and dance and while carrying out the order the barrel eitii er was kicked from under him or he fell. When he dropped to the ground he struck some broken glass, which pierced his neck, severing the jugular vein and carotid artery. Rand bled to death In ten minutes. New York. Sept. 14. R. G- Dun .te Company's Weekly Review of Trade says: Record breaking crops and recori breaking production of iron, steel, copper and other products have cre ated a conviction that the advance to ward complete restoration of industrial and mercantile prosperity is sure and permanent. The principal obstacles to that advance are not disputes over economic theories, but shortages in money, in labor and in transportation facilities. New orders in Iron and steel are slightly in excess of output, and pro ducers are busier than at any period for two years. The latest statement of the leading interests showed a gain of over 206,000 tons in unfilled con tracts, which indicates that heavy bookings are being made for next year. Further price advances have been an nounced on several iron nroducts, in cluding galvanized sheets, black sheelsj nd steel pipe, while Bessemer pig iron is now at the highest point of the year. The general situation In the dry goods market shows further improve ment, cotton goods holding steady an I current demand for woolens and worsteds being well maintained. Buy ers are operating steadily and daily needs maintain a healthy activity. Ex port trade is seasonably quiet but to date is well above that of a year ago Almost all kinds of goods are in re quest and in spite of the higher prices the manufacturing outlook has seldom been better. Bank Clearings. Bradstreet's bank clearings report for the week ending September 12, shows an aggregate of J3.077,S23.000 as against 2,668, 990.000 last week and $2,877,424,000 in the corresponding week last year. The fol- SUFFRAGE NOTES. The State Equal Suffrage league has put some additional lecturers in the field, making the campaign more vig orous towards its close. Mrs. Ella. Baldwin, one of the state organizers, has been at work in Coffey and Osago counties, and from now until Novem ber, she will be in the Fourth district. Dr. Helen Brewster Owens, of Ithaca, New York, will work in Otta wa, Saline, and Lincoln counties until September 25, and afterwards she will go west on the Lincoln Branch and the Rock Island road. Mrs. Lucia O. Case of Topeka will go to Oberlin Monday, and during the rest of the campaign she will be in the northern tier of counties from Cheyenne to Republic. Mrs. Clara Colby, formerly of Port land, Oregon, is doing rousing work for suffrage in the second and third districts. The automobile trip taken by Mrs. W. A. Johnston, Miss Lauru Clay of Kentucky, Airs. Matie Kimball of Manhattan, and Mrs. C. A. Hoffman of Enterprise, is doing excellent work. After the party reaches Mankato, Mrs. C. W. Smith will have charge of Miss Clay, and the other members of th; party will return. Mrs. Hattie Williams, Mrs. L. O. Case and Mrs. C. J. Evans of Topeka, and Mrs. Layman of Hutchinson, have been in the field speaking at reunions, bazaars, old settlers and soldiers meet ings, and at every point were greeted with enthusiasm. The district prize essay contests will close October 12. The winning essays in the counties are to be put into the hands of the district chairman or ettu cation or the district president. These parties have full power to arrange dis trict contests. The prize winning es sav from each district will be sent to 617 Mills building, Topeka. The State prizes are to be $25 for the best essay and $10 for the second. xne essay contest has resulted in the reading some good suffrage literature and has roused interest in tne subject amon- many people who would not otherwise be reached. The women cf the Good Government club have had a remarkably success ful week at the state fair, carrying oa a campaign of education and at the same time making money to continue the work to be accomplished between now arid the date of election in JNo vember. A good crowd listened to their nrosrrams. their literature was distributed on the grounds, and work ers from other parts of the state took a good deal of their literature to use in their local campaign. The matinee and evening shows at the Cozy theatre today are films of a suffrage play, and the Good Govern ment club will receive part of the re turns from the performances. This Lecture Is Free.

BOWSER, HE PREPARES. He Is Going to Bring Down the High Cost. Mr. Bowser had been silent and thoughtful during dinner, and several times he had taken a memorandum from his pocket and consulted it. That there would be a matter to be discuss ed later on Mrs. Bowser's long experi ence told her, but she did not hasten nor retard it by asking explanations. It was half an hour after dinner, and Mr. Bowser had smoked his cigar, when he quietly began: "Mrs. Bowser, do you know that nine tenths of the families in America are retrenching on expenses to offset the high cost of living?" "Certainly, I do," she replied. "But our family remains with the odd tenth and is going ahead in the same extravagant way as 10 years ago." "We were never extravagant, and for the last thre3 years no one has planned closer than I have." "That is, you think you have saved a little here and there. I have often smiled at your feeble efforts." "You could have done a great deal better, I suppose?"

Well, there will be a new program, and under that program I shall take charge of the house for a few days 'and start you off in the right way." Mr. Bowser was feeling his wav cau tiously, expecting rebellion at any mo ment, and he was therefore greatly surprised when Mrs. Bowser Quietly said: 'I wish you would. I have always known that my great lack was in man agement though I would never admit it before. Yes, please take hold and show me how to be saving and econom ical.

"Under Southern Skies," a story of Old Virginia, next week's bill at ti.e Majestic, is sure to please; it is redol ent of quaint romance, ruffled skirtj, and soldier lovers. Any one glancing in the theater of a. morning this week might hear rol licking strains from a fiddle and see a country dance in progress on the stage; he would feel a "tic-klin' in his feet," and realize that, after all, the histrionic profession isn't without iis pleasures. "Xo fun for me." mourned Miss Morton, who is obliged to watch the "Virginia reel, "I'm absolutely out of it." "Oh," gasped Miss Eronaugh, eyes shining, cheeks flushed, "it's awful' I never will get my breath; I won't be able to talk for half an hour." Mr. Buffham gave her a final whiri, And the romp ended in a shout. Beside the Hallowe'en party, there is a dance o' the goblins. The stac settings, the management declares. are more elaborate than any that have been offered. Lotta B. Parker, author of the piece, won fame by her pleas ing production. Five acts of vaudeville and one reel f pictures will be offered at the Nov elty, beginning Monday afternoon. Wood's Animal Circus is the feature of the program. Herbert Dennis de scribe themselves as "400 pounds of fun;" Louise de Foggl, singing char acter comedienne. Yackley Bunnell, musical act. and the Three Gray Sis ters will also appear. The bill is said to be an exceptionally good one. The company to appear in Topeka in "'Freckles'' opened at the Academy -theater in Washington, D. C. It close ly follows Gene Stratton Porter's s'ory, and is arranged in three acts; a Xorth Michigan wilderness, the Freckles cathedral, and a Chicago hospital. "The story," sajs the Washington Times, "makes a personal appeal to each spectator, and is sure to have a successful run." Perry Golden and Ruth Gray take the leading parts. "Louisiana Lou," also coming to the Grand, has for its setting Mardi Gras day in the Crescent City. It sweeps the audience into a whirl of gayety and fun. and is sure to be a favorite in Topeka. The picture on the cover of the last Dramatic Mirror Is of Katharine Kael led, starring with Hale Hamilton in the "Ne'er Do Well." The "First Nighter" devotes almost a page to discussion of this dramatization of Rex Beach s Look. "Hale Hamilton," says the Mir ror, "in title role gave a good perform ance. His comertv 5s breezy and en joyable, and he holds his own in the g'-aver scenes." It would seem from the First Night ers summary that the play, though well acted and prettily staged, is weak as to plot and wobbly as to rehearsal. 'Much is negligible," the Mirror af firms, "and Mr. Klein reaps no new laurels by his latest offering." When Mr. Hamilton was in Topeka this summer and chatted with a State Journal reporter, he admitted that the success of a play upon which thou sands of dollars would be spent was, nevertheless, always doubtful. "Will I play as 'Kirk' all winter?'' j-e mused, breathing rings of smoke intc the air. "why, I can't tell: we ma; work months and run a week. A stage careers the biggest gamble in the whole, wide world." A funny story, particularly apt at the present time, is running the rounds of the theaters. A "four party." return ing from the play, stopped at a fash ionable restauarant. The prim old maid guest of the evening, was charmed with everything, particularly the music. "Could you find out the name of the selection they are playing now?" she pompously demanded of the waiter. "Certainly, madam," said he, but ether duties claimed him, and by the time he returned the lady had com pletely forgotten her request. He bent toward her. softly whispered something, and she recoiled in horror. Kecovering from the shock, she turned In relentless fury upon the hapless man. "How dare you?" she cried, how dare you. sir?" It took the man several minutes to explain that he had simply breathed the name of the musical number, "What Can I Do to Make You Love Me?" a selection, by the way, from Miss J'. 1 i J Nobody from Starland, running at the Grand this week. Basil Gill, come from London to take the part of the Tartar Emperor in the "Daughter of Heaven." makts the astonishing announcement that th.; callings of clergymen and actors art most closely allied. "I'm the son of a clergyman," said he. "and neither profession interferes with the other No man who cannot address a publ'C meeting and convince it of his sincer ity could be successful either as a player or a minister. A large niimlKi' of actors' are ions of clergymen, and ta me this does not seem at all strange." Basil Gill is a wonder, plays with Sir Herbert Tree, and enters into his parts with heart and soul; he has a particularly fine crop of bronze cruris, but is to shave most of them off to conform to the verities of his part. This season "The Daughter of Hen en" will be the big metropolitan play. "Peter Pan" and "Little Minister," the most charming and refreshing of Barrie's books and plays are to be. musicalized, says the "Mirror." "Lit tle Minister" may be operized as "Lady Babbie" with Alice Nielsen in the title role. Billie Burke, famous for the Janice Meredith curia a-top of her he.l. opens at Atlantic City in "The Mic.d-the-Paint Girl." Madame Schumann-Heink, coming to Topeka this winter, spent the sum mer in Germany, and has just returned to the United states. John Jeffrey Farnol, the English writer, 5.0 popular in this country, comes soon to New York tc superin tend the production of his two novel". "The Money Moon" and the "Broad Highway." The latter is full of quaint and dramatic adventures, but the slim j plot of the "Money Moon" scorns hardly strong enough for a play- "The Price She Paid," David Gra ham Phillips's DObok. has been drama tized and opened in Brooklyn on La bor day.

Carmen Da Gonralor. Senorita Carmen De Gonzalez, who hails from the little republic of Pan- When one comes to consider fea tures which have contributed to the remarkable history of a great amuse ment enterprise, he cannot overlook the Selis-Floto circus and its manage ment. For years this institution has had one of the most uphill and drastic fights ever visited upon any aggrega tion who were endeavoring to gain a foothold. Three years ago they com menced a campaign which took for its text the doctrine of popular prices, and although most of the oldtime cir cus people voiced their opinion that they could not possibly succeed, it is now admitted that they came home at the close of the season with more money in their treasury than any other attraction in the same line of busi ness. "People demand popular prices to day." said the agenl who is here rep resenting the proprietors of the big show. "We are living in an era when the average man and woman can weigh the value of what is offered them almost as well as those who are intimately connected with the busi ness, and it was simply a proposition with our people to give them what they wanted. We tried the experi ment and found that we were correct. The price of 25 cents general admis sion has come to stay as far as the Sells-Fioto circus Is concerned. I don't know what the other shows in tend doing, because even yet there are a very tew believers in our methods. It is hard to convince the average man in the show business that it is possible to make any money at that price when one has o charge $3,000 on the debit side of the ledger for each nay s performance. Last year we were eminently successful and we ex pect to repeat our success through the coming season. "Our circus will reach here Thurs day, September 19. and again an nounces to you that we have many novel features such as have never been seen in public before. Our pa rade will be given at 10:30 a. m. Our patrons can rest assured that our per formaiice will be the best they have ever seen us give. I think we have always tried to keep faith with our public. Our object is to grow in the affection of the people, and the only way we can do that is by endeavoring 10 give run values 'n every way." TOPEKA MUSIC CIRCLES Topeka music lovers will be pleased to learn that the State Journal has arranged for the appearance of a musi cal column in each Saturday evening's issue.

Miss Ona May Miller, also a pupil of Miss Whit tlesey's, gave three numbers on the harp which were well received. Miss Lux was assisted at the piano by Misses Bradbury and Freidberg. Mr. Dana Parkhurst, baritone, appeared on the program three times accompanied by Miss Hazelle Loveland at the piano. Cards have been received announcing the opening of Miss Jennie Blinn's" studio at 909 Kansas avenue, Thursday, October 1, for the season of 1912-13, where she will receive her pupils and friends from 4 to 6 and 8 to 1L Miss Eleanore Logan, of Holton, con tralto, has been engaged as soloist at the Grace cathedral. After an illness of five months Mrs. Arza J. Clark has resumed her duties as organist at the First Methodist church, The many friends of Miss Berenice Fuller will be interested to learn that she has accepted a very flattering po sition in the Y. W. C. A. of Indian apolis, Ind., where she is to have charge of the music in that institution. Miss Fuller has always been closely identi fied with the prominent musical circles here, and Topeka generally regrets her leaving. Franklin Hunt, the prominent Kan sas City baritone, has returned from Canada, where he has been spending the summer months in the lTke region. Earl Holmes, who has been a-ppearing as soloist in the First Methodist church during the summer months, has revealed a natural, lyric tenor voice of beautiful quality, and sings with unusual ease and intelligence Mr. Holmes expects to remain in To peka for the season and continue his vocal studies with Dana Parkhurst. Miss Mary Sands, contralto, pupil of Herman Springer, has been compelled to discontinue her musical activities owing to a nervous breakdown which she suffered this spring. Miss Sands has appeared on numerous musical programs, and is recognized as one of Topeka's mo3t promising singers. It is hoped by the first of the year that she will be able to take up her active work again. Schumann-Heink, the great artist and the woman is the most popular singer in the world. The hundreds of thousands wl?o have fallen under the sway of this wonderful woman smile with delight whenever her name is mentioned. Observe her. any time, when she walks on a concenrt platform to be gin a recital- There is a volley of ap plause accompanied by a murmur of delight from those who have been waiting. Schumann-Heink goes to the extreme front of the stage and leans in the direction of her friends on the far side. Then she smiles an expansive Schumann-Heink smile, that comes fvm the prompting of a big heart. and bows in every direction in sheer pleasure. After all, the secret of Schumann Heink's success is her broad humanity. She is a living, breathing creature. Just like those who have gathered to listen to her singing, and she never forgets U Schumann-Heink comes to Topeka November 3 with the Parkhurst con cert series.

EDDYTORIUL We are a going to dash off this eddytoriul on the subjeckt of, "It Is More Blessed To Give Than To Receive. Aj' Bufjle reader who is as fu milyer with their Bible as we be with ours will observe that the subjeckt of this eddytoriul is took from the scripter, but we persoom that there will be menny readers who wouldn't know where it come from if we wassent to enlighten em as per above. It ain't been only a cupple of wks ago that Rev. Moore, our be loved pastor, preached a sermon on this same text, and at the time we heerd the sermon we thort it would also make a good subjeckt for a edd3-toriul and made a note of it according, so here it is: Judging from the way Bingville folks have treated us sinst we have been edditor prop, of the Bugle for lo, these menny yrs. agone, it is our humble opinion that there ain't no more than one citizen outen a hundred in Bingville (and we ain't got only about 300 inhabitants in Greater Bingville all told, in- clooding men, wimmen, childern, dogs and cats) we say it's our opinion that there ain't more than one cittizen outen a 100 in Bing ville. who believes in bis riparf that- it is more blessed to give than to receive. If they did we calkilate they would give us somethink on back subscripshions instid of hanging onto their wallets like grim deth. Some of our subscribers is back anywheres from 10 to 15 yrs (some more, some less) and when them as is back the farthest comes to the Boogie offis and slams down a quarter or a naff doller (but skeercely ever a whole dollar") they act as if they was doing us a tumble big favor and walk out with their heads in the air still ow ing us for 10 or 15 yrs. If it's more blessed to give than to receive why in thunderashion don't some of these dead beets come to time instid of being sich tight wads and stingy cusses, we ask? Week after wk they receive the Bugle and they don't give nothink for it. In spite of this fackt, how ever, our expenses goes right on piling up and increasin until some times we think shure the sheriff .will git us before sunset. Time and agin we have managed to squeeze outen the sheriff's hands jest by the skin of the teeth, but we perdickt that unless our sub scribers ackts on theory that it's more blessed to give than to receive and pays us what they owe us they will wake up some morning and find the sheriff's notis tacked on the front door of the Boogie offis and it will serve em right not to have no newspaper in Bingville to give them all the news that's fit to print, inclooding births, marriages, et cettery, too numerous to men chion and also red hot eddytoriuls in each ishue to give them opinions as ain't got no opinions of their own. Doggone a dead beet subscriber ennyhow He makes us sick to our stummick and nauseated and dis curridged until we jest git that out ot pachience that we ieel like thrashin him every time we meet him on the street. What does a dead beet subscriber 'think ennvhow Does he think that we can subsist on air and promis es? Thems turrible poor things to subsist on when a feller has a ap petite like a bear what has jest come out after being denned up all win ter. We are agoing to bkit-g this ed dytoriul to a close before we say somethink which somebuddy will sue us for libel for. We don't de sire to be sued for libel, being as we ain't got no money to pay dam ages let alone to hire a loryer. Bud on the ampage! Bud Hinckley Who Aint -Quite Right in His Head Stirred Bing ville up Turrible Last Thursday -Full Particklers as Give per Below! crackers which Hen had left over from the last 4th of July, and Bud he tuk one and found a match and ht the fuse of it and poked it under Hen's chair and then run outen the store and peeked through the door. When the cannon cracker exploded under Hen he woke upvwith a turrible yell of angivish and give a jump into the air and landed with one leg in the cracker barl and tother foot in a keg of salt mackerel. Then with another hcwl of despair he run outen the store and diddent stop running until he was haff way home. Then with great pres ence of mind Hen returned to the store, thinking some of the sparks might of set it on lire, but they haddent. Bud done some other mischief that same day, but these we have men chioned is the worst. If Bud Hinckley is going to ackt like this, it is our opinion that somethink ort to be did with him. He ort to be put into a reform school or somewheres where he wouldnt be a mennace to sos siety. Locals Hiram Cranby made a big mistake last wk when he purchased a pr of rubber boots at Hen Weathersby's store which was too small for him and drawd his feet so that he cant wear em, and now Hen wont take em back being as they have been wore, and as a result Hi has the boots on his hands, but he hopes to dispose of em soon, being as he has marked em down to $2.45 cts. whereas he paid $2.50 for em. Enny purson desiring a pr of rubber boots, No. 10s, apply to Hi. Hi thinks he could wear a pr of No. 12s without em pinching him. Mel Skinner ketched a turrible cold in his head last wk which made him nearly coff his head offen his shoulders, and to make matters worse this wk the cold has went and moved from Mels chest up into his head. Betwixt the two, Mel says, he would ruther have a cold in his chest than his head. He also says he would like to know where the dognashion he ketched his cold at. We expect to have some little ex pense along tords the last of this month and we would like to make a range ments with one or two persons in Bing ville or vicinity to subscribe for the Bugle (unless they already be sub scribers,), and we also wish to say that they must pay cash strickly in advance. No others need apply. Go ahead and subscribe Local items aint quite so plentiful this wk as ushual. Well, thats the way it goes soms wks they are and some wks they aint. However, what the above locals loses in numbers is made up in length. There aint very many of em, as you might say, but each one fills a good eal of space for a local item.

However, we are glad to a nounce that it diddent frost, which only goes to show that appearances is sometimes deccivin. We 'wish to sp.j that it has been some time sinst we have secured a new sub scriber. As a rule we git a new sub scriber every cupple of wks, but we Bud Hinckley, who ain't quite right in his head, son of the Widow Hinck ley, who is a very estimable woman in spite of the fackt that she's got a simple son. This, however, ain't no refleck sliion on the widow, bcinj-r as she is as bright and smart and intelligent as can be. It is our opinion that Bud never' got none of his simpleness from his mother but from his father, old Ah Hinckley, who passed away many yrs ago. Ab wasn't quite right in his head neither, jest like Bud. and therefore Bud come by what he ain't got in his head honest, a? you might say.

Hank, who aint did a lick of work this summer, tuk the job, and the first morning he went to work what did he do but set down on a log that was being sawed and went plumb off to sleep, and if Jim Hicks haddent yanked Hank offen the log jest in time hr would of been sawed in two. Hank he quit the job tight there. Jim give him a quarter for the time he had worked and Hank returned to Bing ville. Hank says the saw mill business is too risky for him.

Then she slapt him in the face until one eye is sweld shet still and tore his coat and made him apologise and beg for mercy for abusing her son, who ain't quite right in his head anyhow. The rooster will die. After this was over Bud he wan dered down street until he come to Cy Hoskins' buggy shed, which was open at both ends, being as Lem Brown had jest varnished Cy's buggy for him and had propped the doors open so as the air could git through and help to dry the varnish. Well, Bud he stuck his fingers aginst the varnish on the buggy to see if it was dry yet. and when he found it wassent he tfort it would be a good joke to throw dust all over the buggy, which he did, and the dust stuck to the varnish and now the buggy will haft to be all sandpapered agin and var nished over. From here Bud he went lo Hen Weathersby's store about noon. There was nobuddy. in the store but Hen, and he had dropt off to sleep, so Bud he is sick of being widdered, and folks aiind until he found some cannon say that they think she ort to wait Country Correspondence SLAB CITY Jemima Peppers of Hickory Corners driv through here one day last wk on her way to visit her daughter, who lives at Hardscrabble and is married.

The clerk at one of them finally said he guessed he could make room for me If I wasn't too particular. I was given room 14.

He had sold his that after noon, and the buyer had agreed to deposit, but hadn't done so. There was some hitch about it, and he was sorry to have disturbed me, and so forth.

"Do you think he expected to re tain his seat?" "I can't say as to that. I was hang ing about the Senate to get word as soon as possible, and when the vote was announced I started on a run to notify Lorimer. After awhile I saw him across the street loafing along. He did not stop at my call." "And you ran after him?" "Yes, and put my hand on his shoulder and said I had something to tell him." "And he turned as pale as death?" "Not a bit of it. He carelessly asked what It was, and I replied: 'Mr. Lorimer, you have been ex pelled from the Senate of the United States In disgrace! "Gosh! And he fainted?" "Oh, no." "But he said something?"

The bulky, complacent man ad dressed smiled blandly and told him to go ahead. "Well, sir, a few weeks ago I went to a friend of mine and asked him to endorse my note for a hundred dol lars. He smiled and handed me a lemon." "Just as I should do myself," chuck led the bulky man. "A little later," continued the other, "I went to a grocer and asked to open an account. He asked me a few ques tions and then handed me over a lemon. Why did he do that, sir? Why should he imagine that I wanted lemonade?" "You'll have to search me. All I know is ha! ha! ha!" "I met a woman," said the little man after a minute. "She pleased me. I found out that she was a widow, and a few evenings since I called and asked her if I could pay my addresses with a view to matri mony. She smilingly handed me a lemon. Why did she do it? What's the matter with the lemon crop? Why shouldn't they have handed me out an orange instead of a lemon? Why?" "Take It," said the other, as he brought up a lemon from his doat tail pocket and handed It over. The little man looked at It for a moment and then got up and fled th car, and as he dropped off he said to the conductor: "Durndeet lot of lunatics tn this town I ever heard of?

I don't advertise fishing, good or bad, so if they don't catch any it's not my fault. I advertize "no mosquitoes,' but say nothing of the flies that abound. That's fair offset." "Yes." "In my booklet I speak of Indian Rock. If a guest finds It a bowlder that he can almost lift is that my fault? Can I make that rock any bigger? He knows I can't and he makes no complaint." "You advertise Great Falis, but they are not ten feet high." "But they are great for this lo cality, and the guests know it and make no kicks. On the other side of the mountain they have them only three feet high." "And they don't kick at the high rates?" "My dear sir, they dote on them. If they were lower they couldn't go home and brag about how much their vaca tion had cost them. If you are look ing for kickers you must go thirty miles beyond thte." JOE KERR. OF COURSE.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14 1912. is"""" Common Home istir! ENsSEiRtfe Edited WMarionTIarland FAMILIAR TALK OF DE-APPETIZERS. V J WITHIN the last quarter century there has come into fashion at formal dinners and luncheons, what are set down In cook books as Appetisers." They are erred as a first course, wtth the express design of quickening: dormant appetites nd spurring' to livelier action those that never desert the owners thereof. If their name be not legion there is a sufficient variety of them to make Inexpe dient the attempt to print even a partial list. One hears of additions to the cata logue daily. I know of at least five kinds of cocktails, including oyster and tomato. We talked last week of times and methods of eating with a view to building up health, "esurposing a normal appetite. Today w would deal with some of the ways and means by which the right and proper en joyment of wholesome food is marred by those who partake of the meal with us. Nobody, nowadays, reads a book that had a lively run sixty years ago, under the cap tion of Georgia Scenes." I do not be 'lieve there are ten people who flatter me by reading this corner who ever heard of it. But it was fine, juicy stuff, and sert that K-pneration iilto a healthful, hearty roar of laughter. I am sure that every one of the nine if there be so many has a lively recollection of Ned Brace," the pretended clown of the series. I refer to him to emphasise the de-appetizing effect of compounding messes upon one s plate. Ned p-ut an affected exquisite to flight by blending meat, potato, tomato, and what not Into the semblance of a mottled turtle in the middle of his plate and proceeding to de vour it under the shocked eyes of the dandy. I have been reminded of the tale a hun dred times as I have reluctantly beheld a mountainous mass of miscellaneous ma terials dispensed successively by host and hostess from divers dishes, worked up trowelwise by the prospective feeder, until one could not tell where meat began and vegetables ended. Or a help of pudding beaten to a pulp with the accompanying sauce; or ice cream or jelly stirred as on might mix mortar. A milder form of an noyance to a refined spectator is the prac tice of mincing one's meat as for hash before beginning to eat It. Etiquette Bars Knife for Salad. I fought verily dat Meess Marie would prepare de food for her leetle dog: vat you call a poodel,' was a Frenchman's comment upon the operation witnessed by him for the first time. I 'ad a shock ven I beheld her begin to eat it for herself." Less objectionable, but unpleaslng to those accustomed to the manners and usages of modern conventionalities, is the habit indulged in by those who should learn better if they would use their eyes when dining with well bred companions, of cutting up salad noisily with knife and fork, compounding the dressing with it, then attacking It literally en masse. One of the Imperative bylaws of table eti quette is that salad should not be touched with the knife, particularly when salad forks are laid ready for use beside the plats. fFTE canning season is upon us, and knowing the lively interest you take In canned foods. I am send ing you a capital recipe for put ting up young beets for winter use. They are now in a state of tender per fection and are moreover at their cheapest a matter of some moment when one 'buys by the quantity. "To Can Beets. The beets should be thoroughly cleaned and boiled until they are tender. Then rub off the skins care fully and put them into an enameled kettle containing this sirup: Two cups of sugar, two of water, and the same of cider vinegar. This quantity of liquid will fill three quart cans after the beets ere in. The beets should be small enough to go Into the mouths of the cans without cutting them up, although they may be halved or quart-od if too large. Cook them in this sirup ten minutes after the boil begins. Then fill the cans to overflowing and seat hot, as you would any other canned food. They keep well and are very fine. They cannot bs distinguished from the cooked fresh beets. I keep mine the year round. Tell the thin and scrawny to eat cream, ollvs oil, and raw eggs and not to overeat. I drank a quart of olive oil a month for three months with splendid results. I Just took a swallow several times a day between meals, and after it a little lemon Jules to get rid of the oil taste. It Is also good for rheumatic patients and consti pation and makes the skin like satin. Blanchs B. J." You say truly that I am interested, in canned foods. I have given much thought and time to the subject in connection with the pure food movement which is the bless ing of ths twentieth century to housemoth ers and their flocks. I thank you for the recipe for putting up beets. They promise a wholesome and refreshing variation upon the starchy vegetables to which too many households are confined after fresh veg etables ars no longer at the command of people In moderate circumstances. Although it deals with matters that are not actually within my province, I insert the advice to the lean and scrawny. Hon estly, however, while I believe in the nu tritive properties of olive oil (pure), I have little faith In any regimen recommended to reduce flesh or to Increase it. The fat will remain fat and the lean will not take on flesh after each habit has become chronic. Some of the greatest gluttons I have ever seen were persistently thin, and numbers of corpulent persons are abste mious. It is safe and prudent to discredit The rule is not so reasonless as the roan of simple ideas is ready to think. It dates back to the time when knlfeblades were almost invariably made of steel. The acid of the salad, acting upon the metal, would impart a slightly unpleasant taste to the delicate edible, as It does to the finer kinds of cooked fish. Hence the unwritten law that the knife be used as little as pos sible In eating both. "Absurdly fastidious." do yon say? The oriental, sitting cross legged upon his mat and dipping his fingers into the common bowl of leben and fishing up lentils (Esau's red pottage) with an improvised ladle of unleavened bread torn off from a big round loaf baked on the coals, would say the same of your table and everyday ap pointments. Grant that your neighbor is what you would consider ultra-refined in such trifles is it not kinder and in better taste for you to avoid annoying him by a breach of so much as a bylaw? Christian Duty to Eat Properly. It should be unnecessary in this, the first quarter of the twentieth century, to say that It is deappetizlng to see a fellow eater put his knife into his mouth. I may have told before here the remark of one of the kindest hearted and truest gentlemen I have ever had the happiness to know, when, in reply to his assertion that appetite had forsaken him at a hotel when the man op posite (a distinguished jurist, by the way) thrust six inches of cold steel down his (the Jurist's) throat." I said consolingly But remember, after all, it is not a sin per se for a man to put his knife into his mouth No," with savage emphasis. I wish It were! Then Christians would not do it!" When, after the mottled turtle Is molded it Is conveyed to the lips upon the blade of a knife the disgusting scene is perfect. It is a jChristlan duty to learn to eat In such fashion that beholders may not be dis agreeably affected by the sight. I have dined in the black, but comely tents of Kedar," with less damage to my gastric sensorlum than U underwent at a dinner party a few winters agone, when my vis-avis was a young man who had taken first honors In college, and who shortly there after was sent abroad by the government upon an important mission to a foreign court. He had been helped to a leg of chicken, the drumstick Inclusive, and taking an extremity of the Jointed bone in each hand: he tore off the meat with his strong white teeth as a wolf might gnaw the lamb he had killed. I could not repress the mental query, Why doesn't he put his foot upon it?" I contend, at the risk of being accused of fusslness." that it was as much his duty to refrain from spoiling my appetite for the rest of an excellent meal as it was to avoid in his conversation topics unfit for discus sion in a mixed company. Table Talk Should Not Offend. Which brings me to the consideration of another and. not a rare deappetizer. Table talk should be kept clear of subjects that might offend the diaphragm of a sensi tive listener. I shall never forget the ef fect produced upon a company of men and MARION utterly all nostrums warranted to reduce adipose tissue. Hundreds of victims of misplaced confidence have been seriously injured some for life by trying them. Moderate eating and drinking and regular exercise, with Judicious gymnastic play of muscles and digestive organs, are the only safe regimen in the circumstances. You may train down your flesh. If you physic it off you will rue the blundfr as long as you live. Crabapple Preserves. Will you kindly publish a recipe for making crabapple preserves and how they may be done up whole? Also one for appl jelly not crabapple and what kind of apples should I use? In making crabapple Jelly, put a sweet geranium leaf in the bottom of each glass before filling with the hot jelly. It will Impart a delicate and delicious aroma to thi Jelly. Mrs. M. N.. Buffalo, N. Y." CRABAPPLE3 PRESERVED WHOLE Select for this purpose those that are most nearly perfect (leaving the stems on). Put Into the preserving kettle, porcelain or enameled, and pour in enough warm water to cover them well. The water should not be too hot for you to bear your hand com fortably in it. Heat slowly to boiling and simmer at the side of the range until the skins crack and roll back. Drain and lay the apples in cold water. When they are cool strip off the skins and with a thin, sharp penknife, extract the cores through the blossom end. Weigh the fruit and to each pound allow a pound and a half of sugar and a teacupful of water. Put the sugar and water over the fire and cook until the scum ceases to rise. Then put in the apples; cover the kettle and simmer until they are of a clear red, and so tender that a straw will pierce them. Take up with a perforated skimmer and spread upon large, flat diBhes to get cold and firm. Return tha sirup to the fire, add the juice of a lemon to every three pounds of the fruit, and boll the sirup until it is clear and rich. Fill the Jars nearly to the top with the fruit; pour in the sirup until it overflows, and fit on the tops. This is a pretty and delicious preserve. The red Siberian crab is best for It, although, other tart apples may be used. To Can Mushrooms. Please give? me through the Corner a recipe for canning mushrooms and one for making mushroom catsup. P. F. Paw-tucket, R. LJ" To can mushrooms, peel with care, and lay in cold water for an hour. Drain, cover with cold water, and cook until they women invited to a dinner given in honor of a famous traveler, by bis graphic de scription of the plague In Constantinople, and scene of which he was there an eye witnaaa. He had Journeyed In so many lands and seen so many odd and fearsome things that his perceptions were blunted. As a citi zen of the world he would have regarded us as provincial purists of a pronounced type had he, surmised the loathings that stirred souls and stomachs at the recital. Comfortable digestion, conducted in a normal manner, should be assisted, not outraged, by table talk. To this end the mother of the flock to whom should be long the office of directing the trend of conversation, should steer clear of excit ing themes. Take some other time for relating tales of misadventure and mis behavior. It may be her duty, painful though it be. to inform Tommy's father that the boy was kept In after school today and, in addition to the imposition, brought home a note from the teacher warning her of the danger of suspension unless the boy mended his ways. It is violence done to natural laws and to humanity when she In common parlance takes away the the appetite of her offspring by alluding to the punishment and the threat over what should be nourishing food. It is nothing better when she allows the children ito (bicker Tout matters' that should be settled elsewhere, or takes ad vantage of having them under her hand where they cannot conveniently slip away, to reckon up their shortcomings and hold up the prospect of what will certainly be fall them if they do not alter their giddy ways. I am John's friend and well wisher. Oft ener than I like, I have to be his apologist. I cannot cloak the fact that he is sadly prone to serving deappetizers at home meals. A homely old rhyme reminds us that The face you wear, the word you speak. A heart may heal or break." Busiess Worries Spoil Meal. John would esteem attention to the face he brings to table and what he sajs or what he does not say as equivalent in con sequence to the tithe upon mint, anise, and cummin. The weightier matters of the law are, to his apprehension, making money downtown for the hungry brood at home. W talked of the breakfast grouch last winter, and have had sundry letters hark ing back to it since, which prove the need of the talk. It Is not a decided grouch of which we treat now. so much as the chill ing silence and palpable indifference to all that interests his family and draws out their small talk.

The chances are ten to one that he is only tired, or that the haunt ing thought magnified by the feminine fancy into a horror Has to do with the triv ial vexation of a clerk's carelessness, or a porter's impertinence. The deappetizlng effect of the lowering brow and curt tone is the same as if real calamity hovered over the devoted home. If It were to his pecuniary interest to arouse himself to a show of pleased atten tion to the prattle he ignores he would spur his lagging senses .to the task. May I not take my rest in mine inn? stands with the average freeholder for May I not be as unsocial as I choose to be in my own house?" Another deappetizer has to do with find ing fault with the food set before the family Some men have such a confirmed habit of doing this that it would seem Incurable. I have in memory one wealthy and liberal provider for his own household with whom the trick was so inveterate that friends and acquaintances resorted to all manner of expedients to excuse themselves from the acceptance of invitations to an otherwise hospitable house. The wife's sister told me In a moment of confidence that the poor woman never got used to it and this after thirty years of his grumbling. I tell her that he criticises without knowing what he is saying. He is Incorrigibly addicted to fault finding. But she shrinks from it now as she did at first. I really thiuk that is the reason she has dyspepsia." Among the minor discomforts that inter fere with the beneficent work of digestion I name without apologizing for the trivial ity of the suggestion a soiled and creased tablecloth and dirty napkins. A spotted cloth, telling tales of former use. Is a down right offense to Just taste.
