HE ANTICIPATES QUESTIONS And Replies to Them Before They Are Asked. Denies All Knowledge of Any Standard Oil Contribution. HE ATTACKS HIS ACCUSERS Declares Penrose Should Be Turned Out of Senate. Appears With a Big Grip Full of Documents. Washington, Oct. 4. "I asked no man to contribute to the campaign fund when I was elected president of the United States and I wish to reiterate that Mr. Bliss and Mr. Cortelyou both assured me that no promise haa been made as a return for any contribution v.itker thev nor anyone else having authority asked me to act or to refrain from acting in any matter while I was president because any contribution had been made or withheld. "Gentlemen could I put it more sweepingly?" In these words Col. Roosevelt sumnarized his testimony today at the close of the first part of his hearing before the Clapp committee o' the senate Investigating campaign funds. The colonel specifically denied that he s ever asked for contributions to the 1904 campaign fund or that he had known of any contribution by J. P. Morgan. To those unequivocal state ments Col. Roosevelt added again that he had ordered the return to the Standard Oil company of any contribu tion it had made in 1904. that he had been assured by George B. Cortelyou ';only yesterday" that he know of no such contributions: and that he did not believe Cornelius N. Bliss had ever de manded a contribution from John D. Archbold or from any corporation by any methods of extortion. Col. Roosevelt did not deny that corporations had contributed to the 1904 campaign. He said his letters and pub lished statements always aoknowledge-J that fact, but he specified that no such rontributions had ever been obtained under any suggestion that the admin istration would reward the givers with special favors. The Progressive candidate was a forceful and emphatic witness. Al though from a campaign tour of many weeks, he appeared In perfect health and his testimony was punctured oy vigorous slaps upon the arm of his chair and his knee. For two hours he talked and was interrupted but half a dozen times with questions. "I had an explicit understanding with Mr. Bliss and Cortelyou that no money v.-as to be accepted if any kind of con ditions were expressed or implied as to lis receipts and the money was to be spent in any improper way such as the buying of votes. "Mr. Cortelyou told me of two in stances of his returning contributions. One of these was from a gentleman v. ho after making a large cor .ribution, mentioned that he wofMd like to be candidate for minister to Belgium. The other was in the case of the Tobac co trust and the Independent Tobacco dealers. The Iays Proceedings. Washington, Oct. 4. Col. Roosevelt arrived here early today to be the star witness before the Clapp committee of the senate committee investigating campaign funds. The colonel's train got in shortly after 7 o'clock and with his party he passed through the rail road station greeted by a few lead ers of the Progressive party here and went to breakfast at a hotel within sight of the White House. The principal part of Col. Roosevelt's examination before the committee was to be concerning the $100,000 Standard Oil contribution to the Republican na tional campaign fund of 1904. John D. Archbold has testified that he made such a contribution to the late Cor nelius N. Bliss; George R. Sheldon, treasurer of the committee in 1908 and this year also, has testified that Mr. Bliss" records showed such a contri bution, George B. Cortelyou, chairman of the committee in 1904 has sworn that no such contribution was received and Col. Roosevelt has said he gave repeated and express instructions to both Mr. Bliss and Mr. Cortelyou that if such a contribution were made it was to be immediately returned. Wit nesses have told the committee they knew of no record of such a contribu tion having been returned and Chas. H. Duell, assistant treasurer of the committee In 1904 told the committee yesterday he did ot believe Mr. Bliss kept information of any contributions from Mr. Cortelyou. If Col. Roosevelt's examination by the committee is concluded in a com paratively short time, he expects to visit the National Museum to look over some of the trophies of his Af rican hunt mounted there. Takes Breakfast With Locb. Col. Roosevelt ate breakfast with William Loeb, Jr., formerly his pri vate secretary and now collector of customs at New York before sToing to the senate office building where the hearings of the committee are heM. Several hundred people were lined up In the corridors of the building two hours before the time set for the he-ring, hoping to get into the little committee room with its capacity for about 100. Hundreds of others packed the doorways and surrounded' the building to see Colonel Roosevelt en- ter. Seats had been reserved by Chairman Clapp for George Reid. 1 Australian high commissioner, and Lady Reid, who had been Roosevelt's hosts abroad. A murmur of applause, culminating in a cheer, greeted Colonel Roosevelt as he entered the building about five minutes before the time set for his appearance. He forced his way through the crowds in the corridors with some difficulty and found his way to Senator Clapp's private room. There he met the members of the committee. The crowd continued to grow and every door of the big room was 'surrounded by an anxious throng. Makes No Comment. Colonel Roosevelt learned this morning that Governor Hadley of Mis souri had declared in favor of Presi dent Taft. He would make no com ment upon the governor's action. Nor would he express an opinion upon the nomination of Congressman Sulzer as Democrat candidate for governor of New York. "I have nothing to say upon any subject," said the colonel. The spectators applauded vigorously as Colonel Roosevelt entered the room followed by a secretary lugging a big valise filled with papers. The col onel took his place in the witness chair and the secretary, with the big e-rin between his knees, seated himself beside him. 'You were a candidate for presi dent in 1904?" asked Senator Clapp. 'I was," answered the colonel, shortly. "George B. Cortelyou was chairman of the committee that year?" "He was." "And Cornelius N. Biiss was treas urer?" i He was. Senator Clapp asked Colonel Roose velt if his attention had been called to certain statements made by John D. Archbold. "It has," replied Colonel Roose velt, tersely. Senator Clapp asked the colonel what he knew about the Archbold contribution at the time it was said to have been made. Offers His Cotters. The colonel asked permission to include in his answer the letter he sent to Senator Clapp, already pub lished, denying that he knew of any Standard Oil contribution to the 1904 campaign at the time it was made. "In the first place, gentlemen," he said, "since I was elected governor of New York that was about fourteen years ago I have written and signed about a hundred thousand letters, so it is not possible at once to recall all the letters I have written on any given subject. "Looking through my letter books since I wrote my recent letter to Senator Clapp, I have tound two oth er letters bearing on the subject of campaign contributions. One was the letter to Cornelius N. Bliss in 1906, which I understood was recently given to your committee; che other a letter written to George R. Sheldon in 1908." Colonel Roosevelt turned to his as sistants to ask for his letter book. The colonel finally found .the letter he sought, and stepping from the witness chair handed it to Senator Clapp, who had it placed in the record as an exhibit. At the chairman's request Colonel Roosevelt read the letter, dated September 21, 190S. and ad dressed to George R. Sheldon, treas urer of the Republican national com mittee. It was practically as follows: "I am informed that you or some one in behalf of the national commit tee had been soliciting contributions from corporations, particularly John D. Archbold and the Standard Oil company. If this is true. I wish to erter a vigorous protest and say that not only should such contribution be refused but that if made that it should be immediately returned." The letter set forth that "Four years ago Mr. Cortelyou refused all contribu tions from corporations which were be in? prosecuted or were likely to be prose cuted." and that Col. Roosevelt wished the same course followed in the 1908 cam paign. Letter to Cortelyou. Col. Roosevelt also read the letter of October 26, 1904. to chairman George B. Cortelyou in which he directed that it any money had been contributed by the Standard Oil company or John D. Arch bold it should be returned at once. This letter, he said, had been referred to arc partly quoted in his recent letter to Sen ator Clapp. It was an emphatic declara tion to Mr. Cortelyou that "We cannot under any circumstances afford to take a contribution that might be construed as placing us under an obligation." Col. Roosevelt said he had also found that on October 27. 1904 he had sent an "extra telegram" to Chairman George B. Cortelyou which he had only recently found. It was sent from Oyster Bay and referred to his letter to Mr. Cortelyou re manding return of the Standard Oil con tribution. Col. Roosevelt offered tlio committee the orisrinals of all the letters he had sent to Chairman Clapp, or had read into the record. "We'll take your word for that," said Senator Oliver as the colonel returned to the witness chair and testified that he knew of no other letters bearing on the subject and had practically for gotten the Sheldon letter until he came across it searching his files. 'Now, in regard to the 'Harriman fund.' began Senator Clapp. Col. Roosevelt interrupted and asked to ex plain the charges that have been made "in regular order" and Senator Clapp acquiesced. "There is no testimony against me, except In the form of hearsay evi dence," the colonel said, "hearsay state ments of men that are dead. Mr. Archbold and Mr. Penrose purport to give statements of what Mr. Bliss had to say; Mr. Bliss is dead. Mr. Odell and the other gentlemen refer o statements made by Mr. Harriman, who is dead." Colonel Roosevelt said he had not intended to bring his former private secretary into the controversy, but that as the committee had already determined to call William Loeb, jr., he had asked him to bear out his statements. The Sibley Letter. "May I speak of a letter published in Hearst's magazine from Congress man Sibley?" asked the colonel, and then went on: "It is a letter which in substance states that Sibley came to see me and spoke to me about seeing Mr. Archbold and I said I would be 'delighted' to see him, and askad Mr. Sibley to bring Mr. Arch bold to lunch. I don't remember ever having talked to Mr. Sibley about that matter, but it is very pos sible I may have done so. Any In vitation that I may have extended was the result of a request by Mr. Sibley. I always saw any men brought to mo by a representative or a sena tor." The colonel did not remember ever having talked with Mr. Siblev about Mr. Archbold. He said Senator Bourne had once brought Mr. Arch bold to lunch at Oyster Bay. The colonel spoke verv slowly. "While I was president." he said. "if any man trust magnate. Socialist. (Continued on Page Two.) BRYAN ONUORGAN Commoner at Marion Dis cusses Thursday Testimony Given Before Senate Inquiry Into Contributions. IS SARCASTIC AND BITTER "Morgan, the Unselfish," Who Gave $150,000 for Country. More Than 2,000 People Out at Lindsborg. Marion, Kan., Oct. 4. In his speeches in the Fourth, and Eighth districts today Bryan is hammering Roosevelt because of the revelations before the senate committee investi gating campaign contributions. Morgan was flayed unmercifully and Roosevelt interests coupled with the Wall street interests. "Hammer ing Morgan," Bryan declared, "be cause he doesn't give to Democratic campaign funds, simply because he saj s Democratic success is a menace to the country's welfare, but he opens his pocketbook when the Republican committee comes around and gives with no more thought of return than a party to a lawsuit would if he bribed a judge. It is interesting to know the estimate that he places on the pub lic needs. He felt $100,000 worth of disinterested interest in electing Roosevelt vice president in 1900, but his patriotic zeal goes up to the $150, 000 mark when Roosevelt was run ning for president in 1904. His en thusiasm fell off four-fifths between 1904 and 1908 and he gave only one fifth as much to elect Taft as he did to elect Mr. Roosevelt. Taft didn't look like the thirty cents to Morgan, but like 20. It must mortify Taft to learn that his prospective services to the country were estimated so much lower than Roosevelt's, but then it must be remembered that the swal lowing up of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company had been accomplished before the 1908 campaign and there is not so much money in gratitude as in anticipation. "It will shame the selfish and the sordid to look upon this self carved statue standing' out against the sky. Morgan, the unselfish, the interested. the patriotic citizen who devotes all 3f his spare time, which is not much to purchasing the election of proper presidential candidates. "How could Perkins have had the heart to dissolve partnership with him? Has he really done so?" Bryan talked to more than 2,000 people, in Lindsborg this morning and made short speeches in McPherson, Canton and Hillsboro. His only speech in the Fourth dis trict was in Marion, where he spoke thirty minutes. ALL BUT GREEN The Roosevelt Elector From Wyandotte Won't Budge. Rest Will Be Withdrawn To night, Says White. A special messenger will come to To peka tonight from Emporia and with draw eight of the nine Roosevelt elec tors from the Republican column. This is the word this afternoon from William Allen White, Roosevelt committeeman. Eight out of nine, all but Dorsey Green, negro, of Wyandotte. Dorsey likes his job and will continue to occupy his present position at the head of the Re publican column. He is for Roosevelt, he says, and he is a Republican, he says, and he'll stay in the Republican column, he says. Mr. White tried to show Green the way he should go. Tried hard, but Green positively refused to mov. White has given it up, and will remove the other eight electors, according to h:s promise. If any other individual, or force, or power, or court or principality can move Green, the Emporia editor is willing that they should try, and he wishes them luck and success. RETURNS FOR A DAY. Summer Pays a Visit This Afternoon It Is 82 Above. It is warm and pleasant today, the mercury having reached the highest pcint since September 10. The ther mometer reading at 6 o'clock this morning was 48 degrees; at 2 o'clock this afternoon, 82 degrees ,a rise of 34 degrees. The temperatures are three degrees above normal for this date. The wind is blowing 12 miles an hour from the southeast. The forecast calls for fair weather tonight with increasing cloudiness Sat urday with lower temperatures. The hourly readings: 7 o'clock 50 8 o'clock 52 9 o'clock 65 10 o'clock 71 11 o'clock 12 o'clock 1 o'clock 2 o'clock SEVEN ARE KILLED. Train Is Ditched and the Passenger Coaches Burn. Westoort, Conn., Oct. 4. Medical Examiner Poers officially fixes the death list in the wreck here last night at four women, the engineer and fire man, and a mail clerk, who died of his injuries. The dead women were: MRS. J. C. BRADY. MISS MARY HAMILTON. MRS. E. P. GAVIT. MRS. C. S. RANSOJf. All the injured at the Norwalk hos pital, ten in number, are doing well No more bodies were found in the week during the night. A woman's hand, however, was found among the wreckage. The engine of the second section of Springfield express, bound from Boston to New York, failed to take a cross-over and nearly the entire train was ditched near the Westport Saugatuck station on the New York, New Haven Hartford railroad. Four parlor cars, heaped up in a mass of wreckage, immediately burst into flames. The locomotive, whic.i was run ning at high speed, went over on its side after leaving the roadbed and the boiler, to all appearances, explod ed. Engineer Clark was taken out alivj but died soon after. Joseph J. Moker, his fireman, was crushed to death. The baggage car and the four Liidii UHia iitAi luiiuwiii ii were overturned and in these occurred the loss of life. The three day coaches, although derailed, remained upright. The wreck tore down the poles, carry ing wires alongside of the tracks and delay ensued before outside assistance could be secured. The fire in the wreckage burned several hours. CAMPAIGN MONEY Taft League Managers Reply to White Charge. They Collected Only $1,166 From 60 Kansas Supporters. Replying to a published statement by William Allen White, appearing Sep tember 24, in which he said of the Re publican Party league: "It has lots of money. It is putting from one to two hundred dollars in the organization of each county." George A. Clark, secre tary of the league, has sworn to a state ment showing that the league has re ceived only $1,166 up to date. With the af fidavit is a statement in which Mr. Clark declares that White knew nothing if the facts when he wrote his statement. The White statement was contained in a circular letter that was sent out over the state. Mr. Clark has deposited $500 in the Merchants National bank which he srys he will give as a reward to any one who can show that the statement he makes is untrue. The statement is: "Every dollar of this money was sub scribed by residents of this state, the total number of contributors being less ti'an 60. Every cent of money received find expended by the league has gone through my hands and a regular book account of the same is kept in these headquarters and is open to the inspec tion of any person who desires to verify this statement. Morever, 1 have de posited with Mr. F. M. Bonebrake, the cashier of the Merchants National Bank, of Topeka, my personal check for J500, which sum I offer as a reward to snybody who can show that this state ment is not correct. The public senti ment of the Republicans in Kansas is behind out- movement and tot one cent of money has been contributed by the league to organize a single county in the state, but some of the members of these local organizations have contri buted to this league. The local organi zations are entirely voluntary and pay their own expenses. "Now, Mr. White, as the profession al advocate of the 'square deal,' will you frankly admit that you made the statement contained in your letter re ferred to, without any knowledge or information as to the truth or falsity of the statement, and that you simply drew on sour imagination and made the statement without any other foun dation whatever? Will you make a similar statement under oath, of your receipts and expenditures? Financially this movement has never been pros perous, but in every other particular it is a hummer as the Stubbs-Capper-White crowd know. "The are 105 counties in Kansas, and to do what Mr. White Insists this league is doing would call for a fund of not less than $30,000.00. In my judg ment $1,166.00 wouldn't cover very much of this vast territory." BAN ON "KID" SOCIETY Woman in Frisco Would Abolish Class Pins and Social Affairs. San Francisco, Oct. 4. To further democracy and lessen the tendency to) vulgar display among children, Miss Sallie J. Jones, member of the board of education, began a campaign today against costly dress and school girl social affairs. Miss Jones believes that such tendencies are responsible for caste distinctions in public schools, and the cause of humiliation and hardship to children of poor parents. As a remedy. Miss Jones, in a letter to the board of education, urges the adoption of ironclad rules abolishing class pins in grammar schools, pro hibiting social affairs, flowers, and the exchange of presents on the school grounds, and wants teachers constant ly to urge simplicity in dress. T. rTAND JOHNSON. Their Names Sure to Go at Head of Independent Column. No decision has been reached as to the legality of placing the names of Roosevelt and Johnson at the head if tne independent column. Secretary of State Charles S. Sessions declared to day that he has not reached a decision so far. not having had time to read several briefs submitted on the sub ject. The decision may be reached tomor row or Monday, Sessions declaring that he will get to it as soon as he can. HISlMTSERMON. The Rev. O. T. Deever of the First United Brethren church, who has accept ed the pastorate of the First U. B. church of .Kansas City, will preach his last ser mon in the local church Sunday night. Rev. Mr. Deever came to Topeka five years ago, after completing his work at the U. B. Theological seminary at Dayton, Ohio. In that time the membership of his church has more than doubled. All indebtedness has been paid oft, and aside from that a $4,000 addition to the church building has been erected. Rev. Mr. Deever has been popualr among the mem bers of his congregation. The sermon Sunday night will deal largely with the work of the church in the last five years. HE HAS SAME HOLD Bryan's Popularity in Kansas Undiminished. Great Crowds Gather to Hear Him Speak. HE IS TIRED AND HSPPY Praise for Sulzer and Hopeful for Kansas. Bryan Epigrams and Notes of the Big Meetings. Lindsborg, Kan., Oct. 4. W. J. Bryan kept up his attack upon the Republican and Progressive parties as he journeyed across Kansas today. After addressing a large crowd here, the Nebraskan left for McPherson. His stopping points included Marion, ElDorado, Augusta, Winfield and Wichita. Mr. Bryan said today prospects for Democratic success in Kansas were bright. In all of his talks he urged the election of Judge W. H. Thomp son, Democrat nominee for the United States senate, and George H. Hodges, Democrat, for governor. Salina, Kan., Oct. 4. Bryan con cluded his campaign trip through the Fifth district last night when he talked to 5,500 people in the city park. His speech conformed to the doctrine preached by the Commoner throughout the day, but the tired and weary Bryan was not too worn to again trample on the records of Taft and Roosevelt in a manner to work his crowd up to the pitch of enthu siasm. Following the day's program he again flayed Roosevelt because of h'S allies in the 1904 campaign and hammered the chief Bull Moose be cause of the Sheldon testimony before the investigating committee. At the Salina meeting Judge Wil liam H. Thompson, Democratic nomi nee for United States- senator, and Robert Helvering, nominee for con gress in the Fifth, made short speeches. Then the crowd let loose its most cordial welcome for the Ne braskan, who was introduced by Alexis Andreen, defeated candidate for the congressional nomination in the Fifth. Bryan- Epigrams for Kansans. "Taft has been weighed in the bal ance and found wanting. Roosevelt has been weighed in the balance and found wanting for a third term." "Taft is constitutionally distrustful of the people. Roosevelt is constitu tionally over trustful of himself." "Roosevelt gave us Taft four years ago. He made a mistake and admits it. Now he is willing to atone by offering himself as a sacrifice." "In his repudiation of Taft, Roose velt presents the sorrowful appearance of the guarantor demanding a reward because of the failure of his prin cipal." What Roosevelt says of the cor ruption of the Chicago convention is true. But there wasn't a thing done in Chicago this year that wasn't done in the Republican convention four years ago. There wasn't a scandal this year that was not a repetition of one in 1908." "I wish Mr. Roosevelt would put some of his consciousness into his comparison of the national conven tions." "Roosevelt's convention was a par ody. It was composed of hand picked delegates representing a mythical con stituency." "Roosevelt was not looking for remedies in Chicago. He was look ing for epithets to apply to the bosses who refused to nominate him this year, but who did nominate him eight years ago." "Roosevelt divides with Taft the doubtful honor of being the choice of the financial pirates who have plun dered the people for president of the United States." "Roosevelt said we were wrong four years ago when we said, 'let the peo ple iule.' This year Roosevelt uses the slogan without quotation marks. Then he preaches a sermon from the text, 'Thou shalt not steal.' "If Roosevelt were on the people's side, Perkins would not be on Roose velt's side." "Perkins says he is for Roosevelt because he has children. He has wa tered stock to leave those children. Have you any watered stock for your children? Do you think the man who will look after Perkins' children will look after your children?" "If Andrew Jackson had been presi dent when the trusts terrified Roose velt by promising a panic, there would have been a different sequel to the visit of those trust magnates to the White House." "A year ago Roosevelt refused to decide between Taft and LaFollette and now repudiates Taft. And the brave Bob LaFollette, the latchet of whose shoes Roosevelt is unworthy to loose, is the pioneer of reform in the Republican party." "Out in Utah and Wyoming, I dis covered that Taft has a majority of the Republicans so I helped the Roosevelt men fight Taft. Here in Kansas, I find Roosevelt the stronger so I am helping the Taft Republi cans beat Roosevelt. And everywhere I go I am helping the Democrats beat both of them." Bryan Pleased Over Sulzer. Bryan expressed great satisfaction over the nomination of William Sulzer for gov ernor of New York and declared that New York had taken a stand among the pro gressive states of the nation. "Mr. Sulzer's nomination ought -to aid our national ticket very materially," Mr. Bryan told a State Journal representative. "He was one of the prominent Democrats in the Chicago convention in 1906, who re fused to bolt. In that campaign and every campaign since he has been actively sup porting the progressive policies of the party. As a member of congress he has won distinction by devotion to public in terests. The convention could not have, made a better nomination and he ought to be elected by a large majority. His nomination and the platform on which he stands, put New York's Democracy in harmony with national Democracy. It is a most satisfactory move and makes more certain the already certain national victory for our party. Hurrah for New York." Notes of a Day in the Fifth. Jake Hostettler of Belleville, chairman of the Democratic committee in Republic county, accompanied the Bryan special to I Salina. Hostettler was the cheer leader on the Bryan train. Whenever a noise was started Hostettler was responsible for it. He is a real worker -and declares this is the last campaign in which he will ever participate. Hostettler settled in Re public county, to use his own expression, "when they hunted Democrats with a dog." But this year Hostettler is proud of his political faith and insists that Thompson, Hodges, Helvering and Laugh lin will sweep the Fifth district with Wil son. At Junction City the public schools were dismissed to permit the children to hear the Commoner. There were perhaps 200 school children in the crowd of 3,000 people who heard Bryan talk in the Junction City public park. The Bryan special stopped two minutes in Wakefield to receive orders. Somehow the Wakefield residents seemed to just feel that Bryan wouldn't pass through their town without a word. So 200 people were on the platform and along the right of way when the train stopped. Bryan shook hands with a number of the unex pected attendants and bowed his thanks. Then the whistle blew and Wakefield missed hearing a speech that was not on the program. Bryan showed fatigue after his speeches and gained as much rest between speeches as possible. Yet he was always kind and considerate. Twice he was interrupted by newspaper correspondents and respond ed to their requests with a consideration and courtesy that has been shown by few of the really big speakers who have visit ed Kansas during the campaign. Mike Frey, of Junction City, was on the train yesterday. Frey just knows Geary county will roll up a tremendous Democratic majority in November and his enthusiasm bubbled over at every stop ping point. Yesterday was the proudest day in the history of the little town of Morganville. And the crowd which heard Bryan was incidentally one of the biggest crowds that ever found standing room in the town. Judge R. C- Miller, of Clay Center, took an active hand in the Bryan entertain ment in Clay county and Miller accom panied the special from Belleville to his home town. Miller is firm in his belief that Clay county, a Republican strong hold, will line up for the Democrats this fall. Two years ago Miller made the race for district judge and was defeated by two votes in a district normally 2,500 Re publican. In every town the local band was con spicuous. And at Morganville the brass band and a merry-go-round both welcomed Biyan. But they subsided at the Ne braskan's request. When the train stopped in Salina, a band, a Glee club and more than 10U au tomobiles were at the depot to add color to the reception.. That wasn't all. Al- j most every building on the town's main I street was decorated with bunting and j flags and there was some real cheering as Brvan's car headed an automobile pa- i rade through the principal streets of the town. Probably 250 residents of Solomon missed the fair in Abilene yesterday that they might make the Bryan welcome genuine in their home town. And Bryan's welcome In Solomon was proportionately the most noisv of the day's trip. Mrs. George Cavin, of Clay Center, pre pared a big chicken dinner for the 20 mem bers of the Bryan party. The big dinner was served by Mrs. Cavin's two daugh ters aboard the train on the run from Clay Center to Junction City. Every town on the day's schedule con tributed a local delegation to accompany the Bryan special. These delegations were composed of committeemen, local candi dates and prominent citizens who carry the banner in their precincts. Had there been a few more stops on the day s itinerary, more coaches would have been necessary. When the train arrived in Salina at 2 o'clock, the train of four coaches was well crowded. In almost every speech Bryan referred to LaFollette as the pioneer progressive of the Republican party. It always More than 25,000 people heard Bryan's I ht arlppches in the Fifth district. These were the crowds tnat aiienueu vanvUov meetings: Belleville, z.ow; oncuruiu, 1 f-n,-,. VT.-.,.crinvill (lay ..eill--I, uuw.

The flying machine stopped, the horse races were cancelled, the live stock and agricultural exhibits were forgotten and quiet reigned while Brvan talked to a crowd that packed the grandstand, the quarter stretch and took refuge on the exhibit buildings and the telephone poles. PEACnSATHAND Turkey and Italy Decide to Abandon Lengthy War. Persuade Arabs to Lay Down Their Arms. Will Constantinople, Oct. 4.-That the Turkish cabinet voted yesterday to ac cept Italy's latest proposals for peace was the announcement made today from an authoritative source. The preliminary agreements are to be signed upon the arrival at Ouchy, of a special Turkish emissary who left Constantinople immediately after tne cabinet meeting. Peace has been declared between Turkey and Italy. Under the agree ment of settlement Turkey abandons sovereignty over Tripoli, the sultan retaining only the spiritual claims. Turkey agrees to withdraw her troops and to endeavor to persuade the Alrabs to lay down their arms. Italy agrees to assist Turkey in floating- her pro posed loan. TRAIN HITS AH AUTO. Four- Persons Are Killed and live Others Injured. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 4. Four persons were killed and five injured, two prob ably fatally, when a fast train on the Pennsylvania railroad struck an auto mobile at a grade crossing at Wilk insburg, a suburb. The dead are: Rev. W. L. Nicholoson, pastor Wil merding First Presbyterian church; his 5-year-old son. Charles; John E Beck and Mrs. Sarah Sarveria, aged 17. The first three victims were occu pants of the machine. Mrs. Sarveria, however, was struck by the flying au tomobile while standing on the sta tion platform. All the injured except Mrs. Beck, an occupant of the auto mobile, were waiting for a train. Beck, driving the machine, was sig nalled at the railroad crossing to stop but was unable to do so before the front wheels ran onto the track and the machine stalled. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Fair tonight; cloudy and colder Saturday. HADLEYJOR TAFT The Goyernor Comes Out Squarely for the President In a Speech Delivered at the Missouri Capital. INVITES OTHERS TO FOLLOW Says There Is Jfo Longer Cause for a Third Tarty. Insurgency Can End Only Helping the Democrats. in Jefferson City, Oct. 4. Governor Hadley stated in a speech at the court house here that In view of President Taft's having expressed his approval of preferential presidential primaries, under state regulations, he could see no reason why every Republican should not vote for the president, himself In cluded. In stating his position on na tional politics the governor said: "Unfortunately we are confronted with conditions upon questions relating to national politics which have created some division within our ranks. I have discussed this question frankly because I undertake to say to the people here that it is my custom, when I speak on any question, to speak frankly, and to say what I think, and not what somebody might want me to say. "There is not the slightest excuse that I have ever heard as to why anybody should even think of resigning from the Republican party in the state of Mis bouii. Where is there a man who calis himself a Progressive, rather than pro-prc-ssive. who can point to a single thing in the record of the Republican party in Missouri, the declaration of its principles, or the record of its nom inees, that does not square with pro gressive policies and keep pace with the forward inarch of social justice? Why should there be a division in this state of those who oppose reactionary poll tics for which the Democratic candi dates st'tnd? Jiope.4 Others WiU Join. "I hope those many highmlnded, but. I believe, mistaken men. who have thought there was a greater interest to be subserved by joining in the organi zation of a new party and the nomi nation of another state ticket, will yet see that by such acts they are simply doing that which tends to insure Dem ocratic success. And I hope they will yet come back to the party that has stood for honesty; that has stood for decency; that has tood for sane and effective progress In the conduct of public affairs. "I said, before, and suv now, that I believed that if ihose v ho had op posed the political methods of which they complaired in the Chicago con vention could Iook io the president of the United Slates for the advo cacy of this principle in the conduct of our party affairs, that we could not only remain within the party, but also support its nominees. What further ,Mri.uuii ui icuct nope couia we enjoy oi a lair conduct in party af- lairs tnrougn any other political or ganization "I take pleasure in giving to you thins information, as it has come to me from the president of the United States and the candidate of the Re publican party in this campaign. "The principal question that I have had to decide was as to how I could most effectively perform that duty. I found that my effectiveness to pro mote the cause of good government in this state was impaired if I tried to work with those in state affairs who were woking for Republican success, and in national affairs with those who were doing that which tended to in sure Democratic success. "Another phase of this question is that we do not pass in this campaign upon questions as to how party af fairs should be conducted, except 9 we vote for or vote against candidates who advocate or oppose fair methods for the conduct of party affairs. We also vote as to whether we shall place in office men representing certain prin ciples of government, or men oppos ing certain principles of government. "And we know that the Democratic party in this campaign goes before the people with just exactly the same tar iff platform, without the difference in cident to the crossing of a 't' or the dotting of 'i--. with the same promise as to tariff legislation, or, to speak ex actly, the very same threat as to tar iff legislation that they went before the people of this country with la 1892." TAFT AT THE FAIR. The President Attends n Old Fash ioned Agricultural Horse Trot. Beverly, Mass., Oct. 4. President Taft. enjoyed a visit to a real old-fashioned fair Thursday. With Mrs. Taft he motored 45 miles down through Bos ton to Brockton, to srpend an after noon watching the races, listening to the bands and admiring the open air shows and other attractions.

And if I thought there was anything to be gained from the standpoint of the public service in seeing any man. then without wait ing for him to ask, I would .send for him. If I am elected president a year hence, if Mr. Rockefeller or any one else wants to see me, I'll see him, and moreover, if I have anything to ask for the public service from Mr. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan or any one else, I'll send for him." Colonel Roosevelt instanced his practice of following that policy by saying that during his administration he had sent for James Hill, the rail road magnate. Thinks He Sent for Morgan. "I think I sent for J. P. Morgan," said he; "at least I saw Mr. Morgan in regard to currency questions. At this moment some of the newspapers that are carrying comments on the supposed fact that I sent for Mr. Archbold," continued Colonel Roose velt, "are commenting on the fact that I also sent for a Socialist, Mr. Bruiere, to help me 6 raw up my platform. "As lo Mr. Bruiere," he added, chuck ling, "they were right. If there is any man from whom I think I can get anything of value to the people I will send for him. I have sent for trust magnates, and prize fighters. I have sent for John L. Sullivan. Battling Nelson and Dr. Lyman Abbott." he ad ded with a laugh that brought re sponse from the crowd. "If ever I find my virtue Is so frail it won't stand being brought in con tea. labor leaders. or any one else, I'll get out of public life." "Did you say you sent for John L. Sullivan?" asked Senator Paynter with a smile. "I thought he was a has been and I did not know you were in that class." "Well, as to Sullivan and Nelson, I think they came to see me," he said. "Sullivan was a big man and a good man. I think they came to see me themselves." the colonel said, "on some questions of great public policy. Here a burst of laughter rang out. Of course, there may have been some personal interest in it," he added, laughing. "Wanted Practical Men. "Now about the Harriman business," said the colonel, "I feel that there ought not be need Tor any intern ment man to ask any question after reading the letters I wrote at that time." Here he took up nis leiieia to Mr. Harriman and defended the fh. tonvt "nractiral men" in the much-discussed letter of October 14. 1906. He said his effort was to get practical men into politics. "When the use of the word 'practi cal' is taken to Indicate some improper motive on the part of the user then I think there is some moral weakness in the man who makes the accusa tion," declared the colonel emphatical ly Then he read the letter and de clared that it "was absolutely incom patible with a suggestion of my get ting aid from Harriman in any way. On October 20, 1904, Col.

"Mr. Loeb was present throughout almos-t all of that interview. There was no pcssibility of any misunderstanding. I mention that because I have seen that some well meaning but flabby persons have said there might have been a misunderstanding between Mr. Harriman and myself." Col. Roosevelt said at the time the Harriman contribution was made there was no doubt of the national ticket car rying New Tork but that the state ticket was In difficulties. "There was not one word spoken by IT. XTi.rlnan u nil mo haiHnP anv rpfpp. ence to the collection of funds for the national campaign. On the other hand the entire conversation was to the ef fect that the national campaign was safe and that aid should be given to the state campaign." f l.n nl "D r- r n c-7 r r eaiil Iia Vi o enn. sequently had a talk with Mr. Harri man, who favored the appointment of former Senator Depew as ambassador to France, but he told Mr. Harriman tnat otner nnanemi men were sup- -r TT Tl.-J TT 1 porting jailla XI. njue, mi. rim n- i man began to "back water." Colonel Roosevelt added he made it clear that Mr. Hyde was too young for the im- j nortant diplomatic post and had not j "won his spurs." "I wish to call your attention." he J and Mr. Sheldon both have testified m Jewelry SALIS Stock 625 that Mr. Bliss stated that the money was not raised by Mr. Harriman for the national campaign, but that it was raised by Mr. Bliss to help out Mr. Harriman in the state campaign. Mr. Loeb was present during the inter view between Mr. Harriman and my self and heard every word. Mr. Har riman asked me to get Mr. Cortelyod and Mr. Bliss hp help raise funds for the New York state campaign. I nev er asked Mr. Harriman directly or in directly for a dollar to help in that campaign or any other." Colonel Roosevelt said he wished to correct his statement regarding his interview with Mr. Harriman. "Mr. Harriman told me," he said, "the national committee people had plenty of money and I told him I knew nothing about that. His re quest to me was that I ask the na tional committee to give money, not that I ask the national committee to help raise money. He said the na tional committee already had plenty of funds." Turns to Parker. Colonel Roosevelt then discussed Judge Alton B. Parker's scheme in 1904 and declared that a "repeated misstatement charged to him was that he had said corporations did not contribute to his 1904 campaign. "I never made the statement that corporations had not contributed to the Republican party," he said em phatically. He said his recent letter to Chairman Clapp and his open published statement" made it clear that he had never denied that cor porations had contributed, but denied specifically that corporations had been "blackmailed" into contributing or assured of "some kind of favor" for contributing. Colonel Roosevelt said he had secured the word of Bliss and Cortelyou that the statement was a fact before he made it. Corpora tion contributions were not consider ed improper in 1904. 1900 or 1896. he said, and it was public knowledge that they were being made. For an hour the colonel had talk ed, practically without interruptnon. Half a dozen questions by Senator Clapp started him and thereafter there was no opportunity for ques tions. Colonel Roosevelt talked along. choosing his own subjects, stopping now and then to go through his papers or to confer with Mr. Loeb, and occasionally turning to the com mittee with an earnest: "Is that quite clear." He gesticulated frequently when he declared corpora tions had contributed to both Democrat and Republican funds in 1904. Archbold and Penrose. "Now I wish to take up the testimony of Mr. Archbold and Senator Penrose." said Col. Roosevelt. He paused to look at some memoranda and an air of ex pectancy settled over the room. "I wish to call your attention to this fact in connection with the state ment of Mr. Archbold, as In the case of Mr. Harriman. Each testified he pot no improper consideration from the administration. Mr. Archbold and Mr. Harriman alike, complain not that the administration did what it oiiht not to have done, but that the administration refused to do what it ought not to do. Mr. Archbold and Mr. Harriman's com plaint is that they got nothing from the administration. "Mr. Archbold testified that Cornelius N. Bliss, who is dead, attempted t.- blackmail him and that I knew of it. I don't for a minute believe Mr. Bliss tried to blackmail him; if he did I knew nothing of it. "And I had the assurance of Mr. Cor telyou over the telephone again yes terday that such a contribution was not made. I want to call your attention to the testimony of Messrs. Archbold and Penrose against themselves. Mr. Pen rose testified that he advised Mr. Arch bold to have the Standard Oil company submit to the blackmail and hy. did it to prevent being subjected tc hostility Any of these blends will .prove an exceptional value for the price asked.

They could meati hostility only from myself, the attorney general or the commissioner of comora- tions. I "They could Incur my hostility only!' if they violated the law. I had no way An Benorts of Aptlial Fip-lif im of being hostile unless they violated theV -RPs 01 ACUiai rigntmg law. So the action of Penrose in ad vising Standard Oil to make that con tribution was advice to it to nrotect it self against prosecution for violation of the law. Should Throw Penrose Out. "When I was police commissioner of New York city," said the colonel, "and a member of the police force did. In con nection with the enforcement of the law, against liquor selling, what Mr. Penrose says he did in this case I could have thrown him off the force." The colonel leaned forward in his chair, shook his fist at the committee and shouted: "And I hold that the senate of the United States should throw Mr. Penrose cut of the senate for the admissions hemade before this committee." Now as to Mr- Archbold," resumed the colonel. "He testifies he made this contriDution and expected some unusual kind of compensation. He say3 Mr. Penrose tried to blackmail him, yet he sees nothing wrong in what Mr. Bliss did. He sees nothing improper in attempting to extort a contribution from him. His complaint is that nothing improper was done for him." He referred to Mr. Archbold's statement that the Roosevelt adminis- I tration treatment of the Standard Oil company rivaled "Darkest Abyssinia." "It is true that when I was presi- ucm x auminisierea tne aarKest ADys sinian' treatment to the Standard Oil company but it was becaue it needed it. If J. am president again, I will again administer it to any corporation of the Standard type that may need it." The colonel added that a strength ening or tne anti-trust law was needed. He Is Asked to Stop. Senator Pomerene asked Colonel Roosevelt to "suspend for a moment" at that point and colonel misunder stood him and half rose from his chair. "Oh, I thought you asked me to stand a minute," he said laughing. A recess of several minutes gave the colonel an opportunity to move from tne witness stand. He leaned over the committee table to tr.lk to Chair man Clapp and then took a few steps about the room. Finally he went back to the stand. "The next statement that I want to call your atention to is that of Mr. Archbold that when the bureau of corporations began its investigation of the Standard Oil, Mr. Archbold went to Mr. Bliss to call me ofr. He testi fied that Mr. Bliss told him, 'I have no influence with Mr. Roosevelt; cannot help you.' "That statement is only partially true for Bliss did have great influence with me. I had a great respect for Mr. Bliss. But it is true that neither Mr. Bliss nor any other human being had the slightest influence with me so far as getting me to refrain from prosecuting any corporation for breaking the law. All these men who testified against me testify that I re fused to do, or did not do, anything improper in their interests. And they are all now supporting the candidates against me those who are alive." He said he had a fight with the Standard Oil company in 1903, when he was getting through the bureau of corporations bill. "Senator Clapp you were in the fight and so were you. Senator Paynter." He finally got the bill through, he said, by publishing telegrams sent by the younger Mr. Rockefeller. "I had my first brush with the Standard Oil company then," he said "and they knew Just what it meant." This Year's Campaign Colonel Roosevelt asked to make a further statement regarding his campaign this year. "I sa.w the different men who were interested in my campaign at Chicago and explained explicitly that I would tolerate no effort of any kind by the use of money or the offer of patron age to so for me. The only time I ever saw it charged was in reference to Ormsby McHarg. I wrote a letter to him and got an answer which I have here." Colonel Roosevelt's letter was writ ten March 4, 1912, and asked Mr. McHarg for his. persom.l assurance "that fie- never used money or other influence to secure his delegates." Mr. McHarg's reply read In part: "I unhesitatingly say that no repu table man can- say that I ever en deavored by the use of money or the promise of patronage to aid our cam paign. I wish unequivocally to deny that charge. I knew that you would immediately repudiate me if I did make any such effort." Col. Roosevelt took up the allega tion that $3,000,000 was used in tho Progressive primary campaign. "Mr. Hilles and Congressman Bar tholdt have made this statement," he sf id. "I suggest very strongly that both men be called here immediately and asked to produce their proof. He Demands Proof. "The man who bears false witness is guilty of as infamous conduct as the man who steals. If Mr. Bartholdt or Mr. Hilles can prove their state ments they ought to be compelled to do so. If they cannot, they ought to be driven out of public life. "I want to call your attention to the fact, gentlemen, that however un willingly the men you have called be fore you thus far have all been called tc testify to contributions to my funds. I realize that I have to make way against both of the old parties but I respectfully suggest that you call some men who know about the expenses of other candidates." Senator. Paynter stated that Chair man Clapp had made the arrange ments for the committee and no effort had been made to treat "unfairly" the Roosevelt campaign. "Our complaint is not that we were called here," Interrupted Col. Roose velt, "but the men who make the charges were not called first." Col. Roosevelt demanded that Chas. P. Taft, William B- McKinley and also Chairman McCombs and Vice Chair man McAdoo, of the Democratic com mittee, be summoned. "You can see it is hard on me," Eaid Col. Roosevelt, "to have to wait a month to answer Mr. Archbold's charges and then to have things so arranged that the attention of the country is riveted on the campaign expenses of the Progressive party, while no attention Is directed to the campaign funds of the other candi dates." "I assure you that if the committee lives the other men will be brought here before election," said Chairman Clapp. At that point a recess until 1:30 o'clock wsa taken. When the committee reconvened Senator Paynter took up the exami nation. The colonel reiterated his first know ledge of J100,000 contribution in 1904 by J. P. Morgan or George J.' Gould, came from the testimony of George" R-. L. Sheldon yesterday. "I knew H. C WHEAT ADVANCES in the Balkans. T.lo-htnoee of Receipts North west Aids the Balls.

Mr. Knox had told me that Mr. Frick was one of my strongest backers. "I had heard there was a Standard Oil contribution," said the colonel, "but I did not know that it came from Mr. Archbold." He could not remember who told him. Senator Paynter called attention to Colonel Roosevelt's telegram of Octo ber 27, 1904, to Mr. Cortelyou, ask ing that the Standard Oil contribu tion be returned without delay. "Did you understand there had been delay?" asked Paynter. "I could not get any reply to my letters," said Colonel Roosevelt. 'Mr. Cortelyou was out west, I think I thought the money would be returned but I wanted to make it clear that n rny mind there was no doubt that the contribution should be returned." "Have you believed all these years that the Standard Oil contribution was not made?" asked Senator Paynter. "Cortelyou told me that and Mr. Bliss told Mr. Loeb and only the other day Mr. Cortelyou told me that he had been informed by Mr. Bliss that no contri bution had been made by the Standard Oil company."

With many persons watching him at the interstate fair grounds Thursday afternoon, Charles F. Walsh, while making a spiral descent in a Curtiss biplane, fell to instant death about a quarter of a mile outside the fair grounds. When rhysicians reached him Walsh was do-ad and his machine was a wreck. Practically every bone in his body was broken and his face and body were badly cut. He had fallen 2.000 feet. Walsh had been giving exhibitions at the fair all week and this year, for the first time, was doing fancy stunts in the air with his machine. He was very lugh today, probably 5,000 feet, as he began his descent. He was making the spiral descent with the front of the ma chine pointed almost downward when the upper plane seemed to become loose. Walsh could be plainly seen struggling ti regain his balance, but without avail. The machine then made a rapid des cent to the earth and the spectators realized that Walsh had 'ost control of the machine and that death was im minent. Walsh was 25 years old and a native cf San Diego, Cal. His wife and two children are visiting at Hammondsport, Y. L. H. STRICKLER DEAD. Founder of Topeka Business College Sucrambs to Apoplexy. L. H.

In this little mill on a piece of land belong ing to his young son and which the creditors cannot touch. McGrann is making from $50 to $75 a week above expenses in an effort to leave some thing for his family besides a name as a spender. His beautiful wife who was Amy Gaskell Hall, a lineal descendant of William Penn, has renounced the soci ety in which she used to be a leader; all her diamonds, her high stepping thoroughbreds and her automobiles have gone to pay off the debts and she is fighting with her husband to help him regain a part of the fortune he lost. Time was when McGrann would spend $5,000 for expense at a single horse show; when he rented half an ocean liner to take his wife and a retinue of servants to Europe. Now. if he ever goes to Europe again he will be lucky. Frank McGrann, "Spender" Mc Grann's brother, inherited the same amount from the estate of their fath but he is now president of a bank in Conestoga and is director in two trust companies.

I gii'e the following testimonial: About Septem ber 10 1908. she was taken sick with Ca tarrhal Pneumonia, and continually grew worse, requiring a trained nurse. Kifeht sweats were so bad that it was necessary to change her clothing once or twice every night: her cough increased and got so baa that everybody expected that she would not live much longer. In January, when Rev. Wm. Berg, of St. Michael's Church, at Shereville, Ind., prepared for her deati"., he recommended that I get Eckman's Al terative, and see if it would not give her Fome relief. I then requested the attend ing physician to, give his diagnosis and he informed me that she had Consumption and was beyond all medical aid. When I asked if he thought it was useless to try the Alterative he replied that 'No physi cian could help her any and I could suit myself about it." So I immediately had Rev. Wm. Berg to send for a bottle. Prac tically without hope for recovery, I insist ed that she try the Alterative, which sha did. I am glad to say that she soon be gan to improve. Now, she works as hard as ever, weighs twenty pounds heavier than she ever did before she took sick, and is in good health. She frankly says she owes her life and health to Eckman's Alterative."

The report of the county health officer for the third quarter of 1912 shows a remarkable re duction of the number of contagious diseases in Norton county. Comparing the first nine months of this year with the years of 1910 and 1911 we find that in 1910 there were 109 reported in 1911 there were 31 while but 24 this year. This is a fine showing and proves that isolation, fumigatiing and cleaning up will do much towards stamping out ccntaglous diseases, while the enforce ment of the orders of the state board of health relative to fumigation and im provement of the sanitary conditions of the school premises undoubtedly re duced the number of cases of dis ease materially.

MADERO IS A FAILURE Mexican Revolutionist's Choice President in Critical Mood. for Chicago, October 4. Senor Zeferino Dominguez, the choice of Mexico's latest revolutionists for the presi dency, stopped in Chicago last night on his way to Washington, where he hopes to enter a protest against inter vention in Mexico on the part of the United States. "The Madero government has been a total failure," said Dominguez. "Where Diaz gave us a dynasty, Ma dero has given us tyranny. The peo ple of Mexico are now ready to place the government in hands which will guide the nation to peace and prosper ity. We feel that the United States' intervention is near and it is my mis sion to prevent it. We realize that European powers will sooner or later force the United States to that step and we as fully realize that it would be a calamity for both nations."

Your child isn't naturally cross, ir ritable and peevish, mother! Examine the tongue; if coated, it means the lit tle ones' stomach is disordered, liver inactive and its thirty feet of bowels clogged with foul, decaying waste. Every mother realizes after giving delicious "Syrup of Figs" that this is the ideal laxative and physic for chil dren. Nothing else regulates the little one's tender stomach, liver and bowels so effectually, besides they dearly love its delightful fig taste. For constipated bowels, sluggish liver, biliousness, or sour, disordered stomach, f everishness, diarrhoea, sore throat, bad breath or to break a cold, give one-half to a teaspoonful of "Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all the clogged up waste.sour bile, un digested food and constipated matter will gently move on and out of the system without griping or nausea, and you will surely have a well, happy and smiling child again shortly. With Syrup of Figs you are not drugging your children, being com posed entirely of luscious figs, senna and aromatics it cannot be harmful. Full directions for children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly print ed on the package. Ask your druggist for the full name.

William La nier Washington, great grand nephew cused of theft and extortion by At- wood Violett, head of a cotton brok- erage house here, in the latter's reply to Washington's suit for f 300,000 damages for slander. j Violett admits making the state-1 ments charged in the slander action i but maintains that he was justified I in making them and that he had not j said that Washington had committed any crime. Now the broker claims i that Washington broke into his office, rifled it of certain papers and after-1 ward returned these papers to him in consideration for a certain sum, paid to hush the matter up. A tale of a meeting in a lawyer's office, with William Trivers Jerome, then attor-! ney for Violett, waiting outside to catch Washington and his attorney, i is told in reply. It is admitted that this trap failed and that eventually i Washington got the money wanted for i the letters- The .broker claims that 1 he paid this money not because Wash- ington had any evidence damaging to him, but because, being an old man, he did not wish to be involved in any' controversy. The precise contents of the papers once In Washington's pos-: session were not revealed. I Children Cry J FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR!

With one thrill fol lowing another during the progress of the contest between Pittsburg and Chi cago at the West side grounds yester day, the spectators were given an op portunity to prepare themselves for al most anything. Therefore, no great excitement was caused by the only vic tory won by the Cubs in the series being thrown into the discard through Cotter batting out of turn in the tenth innins- The excitement began early in the game when Johnny Evers clashed with Umpire Owens in the first inning and was waved to the club house by that official. Then in the fifth. Heine Zim merman sought to call out some in structions to Saier, and Downs, on the field to which Acting Manager Tinker objected. These two engaged in heated words which resulted in Tinker order ing his third baseman off the field, ana with it a $50 fine for "talking back." Brooklyn, Oct. 4.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO, ATLANTA, CA. y 2y Tomorrow will be the first day of the real test of the stronger football squads in the east and the west. The first game in October really brings the coaches "out of the brush" with the new plays, concentration of the best material and all around mid- season football. Previous to this date, the football teams have been playing only tne weaker colleges practice games and games for the selection of 'varsity material. To Topekans the most important game tomorrow is Washburn vs. Has kell old stars in this city. Coach Driver will work out all of his seasoned ma terial against the veteran Indians from Lawrence. Although there is no fear but what the Blue will trample the Braves, Coach Driver will not attempt bellites. Coach Driver will not attempt a big score. A nara working eleven, shifted each quarter in order to give everyone a chance, will be the pro gram for tomorrow's game on Wash burn feld. In Kansas the mast interesting game will be the test of the Kansas uni versity eleven against St. Mary's. Quigley's pupils at St. Marys hold more surprise parties than any other football squad in the state. Time af ter time the swift tricky Catholics have caused worry and fear in the camps of the heavier elevens. Coach Mosse, of Kansas university, gives out a report today that his pig skin chasers will go into the St. Mary's game crippled and torn from recent scrimmages with the freshmen. All of the dope favors the Jayhawkers, however, and it is anticipated that the university will win by a comfortable score. The K. S. A. C. huskies will mix with the Haskell Indians Saturday. Coach Kennedy is not very optimistic about his chances for victory against the farmers and his feeling is ac cepted over the state. The Indians are light but fast. They may sur prise the heavy Manhattan players. Other Kansas games will carry little importance in the state championship claims this fall. Baker plays the Mis souri Wesleyan and the Methodists ot Kansas feel encouraged over the re turn of two of the veterans. Fair mount should defeat easily the Alva Normals at Wichita. College of Em poria fast and furious will have lit tle trouble romping away with Pitts burg. State Normal and Southwest ern game with all odds favoring the teachers. Friends and Tonkawa is full of uncertainties very little is known of either team this year. The schedule of the more important games for tomorrow follows: Washburn vs. Haskell Old Stars at Topeka. K.

Little George B. Hummer Won Baby Show Prize. Criminal carelessness or wanton cruelty is thought responsible for the condition of the big bay horse belong ing to George Cavender. The animal was found in the barn on the Page property at 1027 North Monroe street with bad cuts about the body. It was also so -nervous that no bridle could be put on. Mr. Cavender is of the opinion that some one might have mutilated the animal so that it could be bought at a reduced figure. It Is valued at more than $200. The barn door was left unlocked last night.- About 6 o'clock this morn ing the animal was found, nervous and trembling and bleeding from se' eral wounds. A deep gasn. like that made by n knife, was found in the back of the left front foot.- The shoulder also was cut. The side was cut and scratched either by a knife or bv barb wire. From this it is thought that some one had been driv ing the horse last night and had run into a barb wire fence. None of the Urban? who live in the Page house heard any disturbance about the barn during the r.ight. Judging in the horse and poultry departments is being done today at the closing day of the seventh annual fair at the Indian Creek Grange, four miles north of Topeka on the Central avenue road. In the baby show Thursday after noon, IMls bewis, -vicniiiaLiciii ca- pert in domestic science, awarded as judge first and second premiums to Master George B.

Medical men have learned more about the stomach than perhaps any other vital organ. They have dis covered why the stomach rebels at certain conditions what causes the formation of gases what causes flat ulency, heartburn, dyspepsia, burning sensation, brash, and all the other dis orders of the stomach. They have gone further. They havf found remedies for all these afflic tions, these results of improper di gestion. They have learned that pep sin, hydrochloric acid and fruit salts are powerful digestanta that relieve quickly and surely all the- troubles to which the stomach is subject. They have discovered that one grain of these properties will digest 3,000 grains of food. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a medicine. They are a scientific compound that supplies the stomach with the digestive agents which it is itself unable to provide. When your stomach is sick and not working right when it fails to give out enough of the digestive Juices to properly take care of the food you eat. these tab lets will make up the deficiency. You will have no indigestion. Your food will digest thoroughly. You never can tell just when your etnmnrh is irointr back on you. It I gives no warning. If you eat a big I meal, if you eat hurriedly, take one of these little tablets. You will avoid a lot of pain and misery. Some of the most nrominent men carry these tablets in 'cheir vest pock ets when they attend banquets, etc., and never fail to take them. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are .sold by all druggists, at 50c a box. Adv. roe, second. Angel food cake, Mrs. S. G. McDowell, first; Mrs. Lee Cook, second.

THE TOPEKA DAILY SVATS JOURNAL OCTOBER 4, 1912 ir HOPE FOR PEAG The Clash Between Balkan States and Turkey May Be Averted by Interven tion of the Powers. London, Oct. 4. A more hopeful feeling prevailed today concerning the Balkan situation. Diplomacy which is seeking for peace made progress toward a solution of tne crisis. News that the powers have reached a complete agreement and that the Balkan states had modinea their demands, however, arrived simultaneously with further reports of fighting on the frontiers. Persistent rumors that Turkey and rtaly had arranged peace are believed to have had some influence on tne 6ervi!in, Bulgarian, Montenegrin and Greek allies, who, it is assumed, will not be so anxious to tackle Turkey when she is free from the embarrass ment of a war with a great power. BOAT GOES DOWN property taxes, remaining delinquent. were taken by the board of county commissioners this morning in two communications, one directed to County Treasurer Matt Weightman and the other to Sheriff J. D. Norton. The board insists that every effort be made to collect these taxes, even if it is necessary to levy on stocks of goods and other merchandise taxes, to secure the payment. In the communication to the treas urer the board calls attention to a provision of law whereby the treasur er is authorized to file with the clerk of the district court an abstract of the amount of taxes unpaid with the penalty and costs and accompanied by the last tax warrant, which has been returned unsatisfied, in which event it becomes the duty of the dis trict clerk to issue an execution the same as in a judgment. n i.

The British submar ine B-2 was run down by the Hamburg-American liner Amerika here to day. It sank at once, drowning 14 oi the crew. The officer in charge was rescued.

The liner Amerika stood by after the collision and threw the life buoys ov erboard while a number of torpedo boats, after being Informed of the ac cident by wireless, searched the sea for hours. None of the other members of the crew however, was found and no sign of the wreckage was discovered. Lie Amerika then proceeded on her voy age to Southampton and Cherbourg on her way to New York. This is the sixth disaster to British submarines, each of them involving the loss ot from 11 to 15 lives. Lieutenant Percy B. O'Brien was the commander of the "B-2." The "B-2" was one of the older and smaller class of submarines, having been built, with ten sister ships be tween the years 1903 and 1907. Her length was 100 feet and her beam 12 feet 7 inches. Her displacement on the surface was 180 tons and submerged 210 tons. Her Indicated horsepower was 600 on the surface and 150 below. Her engines developed a speed of ll'fe knots on the surface and 8 on the submerged. She was fitted with two torpedo tubes and her complement was two officers and 13 men. ing for levying on stocks of merchan t.ise, even though they may have changed hands, and cities a syllabus from the' decision of the Kansas su preme court on the subject, author izing the sheriff to act.

KITLL LEASED WI31E REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. 1 The State Journal la a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or- anixtion for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news is received In The State Jour i BJ building over wires for this sole pur- twee. Another of those horrors of peace no less terrible than those of war. One man was killed and eig-ht were injured as the result of an explosion the other day on a U. S. torpedo boat destroyer. An instrument to Refect the approach i ef hurricanes has been invented. Some- thing more serviceable in this line i would be an instrument that would de fleet their course in the direction of the moon. Bill Fllnn, of Pittsburg, Pa., appears to approach the Ideal in the political boss line. He contributed $102,000 from his own pocket to the Roosevelt pri mary campaign fund that was used in Pennsylvania. And the burning question of the hour has nothing to do with matters poli tical. It hinges on who will be the opposing pitchers in the first game for the 1912 baseball championship of the world. Chinese must at least be credited with having a keen discernment. They'll take any kind of a chance, hazard any sort of punishment, and undergo all sorts of privations, to make their way into the United States. In contributing $70,000 to each of the pre-convention campaign funds of Sen ator La Follette and Governor Wilson, at practically the same time, Mr. Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, seems -o have been "laying the game of "heads I win, and tails you lose." Of the large campaign fund that was used to elect Mr. Roosevelt to the presi dency in 1904, no less than 73 per cent of it was contributed by the corpora tions. No wonder "big business" knows on which side its bread is buttered m the present presidential contest. There doesn't seem to be much sub stance to the contention that the men whose wives take in washing are prom inent among those opposed to woman's suffrage. As a matter of fact, men who permit their wives to take in washing are altogether too worthless to have any ideas on any subject. Calamity howlers would have a diffi cult time in attracting audiences in Kansas. Deposits- in the state banks alone increased over $7,000,000 in nine ty days, and the aggregate total of the deposits in these banks is approximate ly$106,000,000, or larger than ever before in the history of the state. One of the scientists at the fourth national conservation congress is au thority for the statement that there has been a greater improvement among the blue-blooded animals than with the hu man race. That seems to be a reason able contention, considering the care that is given to such animals. Chicago is to be enlivened with a vice crusade. Preliminary announce ments have been made to this effect by Mayor Harrison. This will give the par ticularly vicious in the Windy City a fine chance to go on vacations before the crusaders begin triumphant tours with the usual brass bands and red fire. After all the advice and warning that has been given in the premises, there are likely to be many Topekans, Intending to change from gas to coal for heating purposes, who will neglect to have the chimney flues in their houses examined and repaired where neces sary. And they'll be the loudest in their nails at any fires that overtake them. Surely no coroner's inquest was needed to determine the cause of death of the Indiana man who succumbed shortly after he had eaten a meal that consisted of six baked apples, cold slaw, half a box of sardines and a stew of liver, onions, potatoes and beans. Even Lucullus would have turned up his toes after disposing of such a com bination. Pretty eastern girls are reported to be sighing for sturdy western young men for husbands. And if the hearts of seme of the pretty western girls could be searched, a few sighs would proba bly be found, for young men of eastern extraction for husbands. Close and con tinued contact between humans of .il! ages is a great destroyer of ideals and romance. When Governor Dix of New York re turns to private life at the completion of a single term of service, he will taka along that military uniform he once denned to review the national guard. Few men who have served as gover nors in these United States have .ever had any such trophy of office. In fact, it is likely that Mr. Dix is alone in this glory. MR. BRYAN AND THE CROWDS. William Jennings Bryan has attract ed even larger crowds in Kansas dur ing the past couple of days than did Colonel Roosevelt a little while ago. He has also stirred up his audiences to higher pitches of enthusiasm than did the big Bull Moose. Similar con ditions have prevailed all along the route of the Nebraskan's speeehmak ing tour which has covered practically the same ground as that traversed by Mr. Roosevelt. In Los Angeles, for instance, Mr. Bryan was scheduled to make five speeches in one day. He was compelled to increase this number to twelve in order to accommodate all the people who wanted to hear him. And Mr. Bryan is not a candidate in the great presidential contest that is being waged. He is merely one of the many who are giving vigorous support to the Democratic presidential can didate. Now what is the significance of the crowds that have turned out to hear Mr. Bryan speak, not only in Kansas but in all other points in the west? Mr. Roosevelt's supporters have in sisted that the demonstrations recently ccorded their candidate is proof posi tive that he is going to sweep every thing before him at the polls in the localities where great numbers have turned out to hear him speak. If such a conclusion were correct, it would be proper to argue that the bigger crowds which have accorded Mr. Bryan such hearty receptions in the same territory are proof positive that the cause he is pleading will be wonderfully triumphant on election day. Yet it is an impossible thing that two presidential candidates shall emerge from the election with hand some majorities or pluralities in the same localities. As a matter of fact the crowds that greet presidential candidates or their prominent supporters during the course of a campaign tour are an ex ceedingly poor criterion of the- way the voters are going to cast their bal- j lots. Personal popularity is too often mistaken by campaigners, including the candidates themselves, for po litical strength. Mr. Bryan has cer tainly had this demonstrated to him time and time again. Mr. Bryan is personally as popular with a big mass of the people as any man who has ever been in public life in this'country. This has always been true of him since his entrance into major politics in 1S96. His campaign tour for the presidency in that year brought out crowds, the size of which were before unknown-to political campaigns in this country. The cheers that were given him in that campaign were of suffi cient volume to echo from the moon. Tet when the votes were counted on election day, Mr. Bryan was returned a loser. Similar conditions prevailed in each of the two other campaigns that Mr. Bryan has made for the presidency. Crowds attended him wherever he went. He was applauded and cheered with a deafing din. And always did these crowds and cheers outmeasure the votes he received when the crucial hour arrived. In deed, a big crowd in any portion of the country is willing to pay its own good money to hear Mr. Bryan de liver an address from a Chautauqua platform. So the mere fact that Mr. Bryan has been received with tre mendous enthusiasm during his pres ent campaign tour is no indication of the ascendancy of the political cause he is supporting. The same is just as true as to the meaning of the crowds that have greeted Mr. Roosevelt as he has traveled on his way. However, Mr. Roosevelt and his ardent admirers have yet to learn that personal popu larity is not synonymous with po litical strength. And, furthermore, Mr. Roosevelt is not as personally popular with the masses as he once was, or as he was even a few months ago. Congressman Bill Sulzer has un doubtedly been a close observer of the ways of the spider. On his seventh ef fort, covering a period of no less thj.n fourteen years, he succeeded in land ing a New Tork Democratic guberna torial nomination. "WHY I AM FOR TAFT." All honest. and fair-minded Ameri cans, irrespective of political bias, recognize and respect President Taft's integrity of purpose, writes John Hays Hammond in the October num ber of the North American Review. A remarkable mental poise, a rare judicial temperament lies at the foundation of his character, and this fact was appreciated by the Ameri can people long before he was called to the chief magistracy. To these characteristics may be added other dominating traits i. e., inflexibility of purpose, straightforwardness in doing things, and absolute frankness in public and private expressions. In this respect, what a contrast he pre sents to the nominee of the Bull Moose party! To these qualities those who know him well would add entire subordination of personal interests and motives and, no less, the subor dination of partisanship to the gen eral welfare of the nation. Then he has in a conspicuous degree the cour age of his convictions, a great and abiding optimism, and a charity to ward men only to be matched in the character of the immortal Lincoln. To the qualities I have named, all under the discipline of the remarkable equanimity to which I have referred, he combines a sincere geniality and a charm of manner that wins ad miration and friendship even from those who may be called his political enemies. President Taft's inflexible honesty, his unfailing judgment, his knowledge of things military, his industry in es sential routine, his patience, his firm ness, his unfailing courtesy, his com manding personality would have quali- fled him for the task which fell to our revered Lincoln, or for any task which calls for a man without fear and without reproach. We have to day a crisis; happily, one' that will not lead to civil war, but one, never theless, grave a situation which re quires the domination of a president clear of purpose, clear of mind, with out fear, and without reproach. JOURNAL ENTRIES An easy way to do a man is to get him on your note. Silence may give consent but most people prefer a good, clear "yes." Every man is sure to imagine that his troubles are greater than they are. Most of the players in the game of life make moves in the wrong direc tion. What has become of the old-fashioned lover who proposed on his bend ed knee? JAYHAWKER JOTS There will be additional music in the air at Lamed before long. A town chorus has just been organized there. One of the merchants at Conway Springs advertises in the Conway Springs Star that he sells everything Tor housekeeping except the girl. Attention is called by the Holyrood Banner to the fact that there is not a word in any of the party platforms about giving the people the kind of weather they want. High school note in the Grainfield Cap Sheaf: The first year Latin is making fine progress. They can tell a "puer" from a "puella at one hun dred yards distance. According to the weather prophet on the Agra Sentinel, the surest sign in the world that winter is approach ing is to see the hardware men ar ranging their display of heating stoves. Pumpkins as large as your head are now worth a dime, reports the Ameri cus Greeting and it adds: Several years ago they were worth fifty cents a wagon load. Some things have gone up in price as well as beef cattle. A query from the Belleville Tele scope: "If the Independent column on the ballot is good enough for elec tors who propose to support Roose velt why is it not good enough for other candidates who propose to sup port Roosevelt. The Caldwell News tells of a modest and beautiful young lady of its town who went into a drug store' to ask for a bath sponge. Becoming embarrassed, she got more or less tangled in her speech and asked for a sponge bath. The clerk immediately fainted but was able to attend to business again in a few days. An observing farmer is responsible for the following, says the Sylvan Grove News: "When you pass a farm and see a large barn and a small house you may know the man is boss: when you see a fine house and a small barn, you may understand that the woman has things her own way; and when there is a good barn and a nice house you may take it for granted that the woman and man are equals and work together in harmony." The Winfield Free Press tells of a Swede girl who was given employment in a. family where the oldest son was a student in Yale university and was at home on a vacation. When the time came he went back to college and the Swede girl who was unaware of hi3 going, after missing him around for several days asked the lady of th3 house where her son was. "He has gone back to Yale," said the mother. "Poor boy," said the Swede girl, "my brudder haf been in yale four times already thees yar." GLOBE SIGHTS BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE. No poor man ever saw a picture he con sidered worth a fortune. To grow old gracefully, a man should get gray before he gets bald. A man is more apt to telegraph for money than he is to get it that way. Coming right down to brass tacks, are you sure vou have any real friends? There are people who have fertile im aginations and consider the elderberry a fruit. Nearly every smoker deplores the fact that the others are so careless with matches. An optimist is one who expects too much but is good at concealing his dis appointments. Every poor man figures he would do Great Good in the world if he had plerty of money.

The pitcher that goes to the box too often is knocked out. All the world's a stage, but it lacks an asbestos drop curtain. Is it a blow to spiritualism when a man strikes a happy medium? When a woman drives a horse why does she whip him with the lines? A woman can be just as proud of her store hair as if she raised it Iverself. Some men do their best and have oth ers to do those who are second best. The chap who takes things as they come doesn't get as many as the otner fellow. It is human nature to be dissatisfied: either with what wew have or with what we haven't. It is easy for a girl to pretend to love an old millionaire and fool him into thinking it is real. No doubt manv a woman's happiness would bubble over if she could only get thin worrying how fat she Is. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press.i Little wit, much telling of funny stories.

"Oh you just wait," said the author man's wife tartly, "You just wait un til they have been married six years, instead of six months, and see if he is so anxious to make sacrifices for her then." "Perhaps he won't be,'' said the lady who-always-knows-somehow, "and then then again perhaps he will. I think it depends on her quite as much as on him. And I think that if she shows her gratitude and delight as sweetly as she does now, he will take pleasure in mak ing sacrifices for her after they've been married six years or sixty if they live that long." We had been talking of a young mar ried couple and of a generous sacrifice which the husband had made for his wife. We had the pleasure of witness ing both the sacrifice and the gratitude which rewarded it. And not only had the wife received the gift he brought her wth an enthusiasm and a childlike delight which must have warmed any heart that had the pleasure of arous ing it, but she had also remembered to return to the subject again and to tell several visitors about the gift in his presence. And each time that she did this we could almost see a glow of sat isfaction and happiness spread over her husband's face. Don't you imagine that man was well repaid for the sarifice he made? And don't you think that, spurred on by that rich reward, he is pretty likely to keep on making sacrifices? I do. When two young people in the first glow of their affection can not find enough to do for each other, the out siders are apt to agree with the cyn icism of the authorman's wife, and say, "You just wait." And sometimes they are right. But not always, by any means. For when you come right down to it, self-sacrifice isn't wholly a matter of duty. It's also a way of finding hap piness. "After all, I've come to the conclusion that you really get the most happiness in life out of doing things for others" that is the conclusion which one of the finest young men I ever knew reached before' he was thirty. And, mind you, he was not in any sense a goody-goody. He was an everyday man of the world who had tasted all the de lights of social and business success, and knew just how much happiness the ordinary pleasures of life could give. Now I happen to know that this man was thinking of the happiness which virtue brings it own reward the fine glow of triumph' and self- approval which comes to him who overcometh. If that was enough to make a' young, pleasure-loving man decide that the real happiness of life is to be found in doing for others, surely when there Is added to this reward the further com pensation of a genuine and sweetly ex pressed gratitude, self-sacrifice becomes an opportunity for pleasure rather than an ugly duty. Let us see then that we give our part of the reward whenever we have oc casion. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. It takes 20 men to make a score, except in a baseball game. Sticking at it has won many a thing that wasn't worth the effort. Whatever else you may say of the tele phone girl, she ought to ring true. The women who have a dread of their husbands marrying a second time gen erally live to a ripe old age.

As if the shrill voices of the street outside hurt her, Mamie shrank back from the window and turned her gaze intothe dim, dingy order of her tiny room. It was more than the unseason ably intense heat of the evening that sent through her a gnawing misery worse than physical illness Indeed, bodily pain would have been a distrac tion from mental suffering. Now she understood that Jim was never coming any more. Fiercely, against reason, she had been hoping that on the street or from her place behind the counter she would see him coming lightly toward her, with that kind, eager, seeking look on his rugged young face. Night after night she had stayed in her room lest he call and fail to find her. Now there would be not even the hope of waiting. She stood in the hot twilight and tvo dnstv mirror opposite threw back to her a dim vision of great eyes and a crown of bright hair. If all the world were a series of arm-in-arm couples, two-by-two, through the sum mer night, with her alone counted out, it was no' lack of beauty in her not that beauty mattered now. For months she had moved among her workmates hoping and yet dreading to hear his name. She was as powerless to a miostinn as if she were dumb no- bedy should know how she cared. And this evening, from a passing girl, she had overheard from the window these Trords "Ain't it oueer how Jim Mason's Jest dropped off the earth? Do you s'pose that's why Mamie looks so iosi ana thin? Sam savs Jim quit at the factory. j paid -up at the boarding house and lit out without a word to anybody. Ha i never seemed that sort steaay sort, l thought, and crazy about Mamie. I wlsht I dared ask her about him, but 1 1 don't." The words trailed off into indistinctness. Then Mamie had drawn form the win dow and stood silently gazing at her imam in the erlass finally throwing ner- self face down on the lumpy bed and wishing wretchedly that she could cry; that tears would come and help her. After hours of trouble she fell Into a restless sleep and waked at the hot dawn, still with her clothes on. Merci fully It was Sunday, so she undressed. bathed and went back to bed. Despite the heat she slept on and on. and was awakened by sheer hunger late in the afternoon. As she dressed for the street the old misery about Jim assailed her and she began mentally to resist. It was not right for her to suffer like this because she had thought he loved her. She had been so sure of it for a year he had been with her more or less, always an open, friend, tacitly a lover, though no word or touch of love had passed be-J tween them. The girl set her teeth and decided not to be miserable, not to let hone be ground out of her life. She went down a side street to a lit tle cafe and ordered plenty of some thing hot and satisfying, and while she was waiting for it picked up a some what battered newspaper and ran her eyes down its pages murder, politic, weather reports, commencements, ser mons, the human round of happening. Her food came and she ate hungrily, urtastingly. her mind elsewhere. Sh still held the paper in one hand, and when an inside sheet dropped out -.o the floor she stooped- for it and on the advertising page that she brought tip her eye caught this: "Come to Wahwada and pick berrie3. Good pay: beautiful country: camp out. Try it. Write Ed Swan or take Cedar car." She read it again. Then she drank her coffee, which was hot and wet, if nothing else, paid her bill and went out again upon the street, but instead of going back to her room she took a suburban car and rode as far as a nickel would take her. Sitting at the open window she drank in the fresh greenness of summer, the peace of it. end a new resolve came to her to live mere freely. It was almost dark when she reach ed her room, lighted her lamp, despite the unscreened window and the moth3 longing to singe themselves in 'ts flames, and took stock of her belong ings. By struggle and deprivation she had kept out of cebt. She counted her money and found that after she had paid her room rent, due on the mor row, she would have about $3 left. All her possessions would go into her trunk, which she could store with a friend, and a battered suitcase with her oldest clothes would do for the coun try. She had decided to go to Wah wada. As she moved about in the heat and feverishly packed she felt like a trap ped thing gnawing its way to escape. This' heat, this squirrel-cage existence, underpaid, barely fed, hopelessness, should cease. She would take the best the present offered and let the future take care of itself. With characteristic thoroughness she wrote a note to the department manager that she would not be back and went down and paid her landlady. Then she slept quietly enough. Noon of the next day found the gTrl in a new world. With two-score others, mostly women, she found herself in a terry field under the scorching sun. Her back ached from the stooping, her fingers were sore, her face was burned, but she worked steadily on, filling the wooden boxes with the ripe scarlet fruit. Despite her weariness a new joy came to her she was out of the tread mill; she was becoming human. A tent and a ramshackle cabin sheltered the workers, and at lunch one of the women made a roaring fire In the stove and cooked what the others had bought i'-t the village. Mamie found herself sit ting on the grass with a big tin cup of real coffee and a plate of hot steaming food. She was for the moment almost happy. A motherly, middle-aged farm er's wife, a sort of overseer, came to talk with her like a friend. Afternoon passed and at 6 she was tired to the point of dropping. She ate like a fami-lied animal, and was called into the sleeping tent by her new friend. The woman showed her cot and a place to wash. In ten minutes she was sleeping like a child. Three or four days passed and she worked more easily and began to laugh with her neighbors, to catch the spirit of the country, to wander off in the evening for fresh flowers, to watch and know the birds, to play with the year old babe of one of the pickers. She knew these people in a week as well as she would have done in a year of town life. She could see that she was putting on flesh, was straighter and happier, but she also knew that never for a moment did she forget Jim. The berry season at best lasted only three weeks, counting different and re curring varieties of fruit. As the sec ond week ended Mamie began asking herself what she should do when it closed. She was a rapid picker and calculated that she would have nearly $50. Would she have to find work in the city? It gave her a shudder to think of the streets, the stores, the un inspired toil, the fall and the coming winter with its spurious gayetles of cheap theatres and cheap dances for the only amusement and without Jim. She could not help asking herself why he had gone away; whether he did not leve, had not loved her it was a wist ful, self-humiliating questioning, and it seemed to bring no answer. It was in the middle of the third week that the unbelievable thing happened. In the evening, hot and sweet and green, Mamie had sauntered to the vil lage for a few supplies. She was not toe tired now to wash after work and put on a fresh dress from her scanty store of clothes it was a faded, lignt blue thing, but clung prettily to her rounded, slender form. She thrust it red clover into her bright hair and went humming along the road on her errand trying not to feel dismayed and alone. Dusk was falling as she returned, and as she came to a cross read she saw a man coming toward her and hurried a little not to meet him at the exact meeting of the paths. As she hastened her step she glanced up quickly and then stopped, still and white and wait ing. "Mamie!" Jim said, stepping quickly to her, putting his hands on her shoul ders; "Mamie, what are you doln' out here?" His voice had the same hunger in it that gnawed her heart day and night, and for all her bravery she cculd yet find no words, but stood look ing straight at him. "Mamie," he said. "I said to myself that I would be man enough not to tell you I loved you when I had nothing for you. But seeing you is too much for me. You know how I feel you must know." She nodded. Alas didn't she know? "I don't know how you got out here," he continued. "Did you come to pick berries?" Again she had only a movement of the head, because she was fighting back tears of relief and utter joy. The boy took his hands from her shoulders and drawine her arm through his, walked on beside her. "Listen, Mamie," he said, "I quit the city and jest ran for my life. I wan a piece of a machine, and beginning to run down at that. Even my health was goin' back on me. On the whole it seemed worse to tell you how I wanted you than not to tell you. So I came out here. I got a job on a farm and made good, then I picked berries." He paused happily. "Mamie, before I tell you any more, tell me that you do care about me?" He turned and saw that she was crying quietly, not trying to hide the tears. He murmured Inconsequential words of love and com fort and presently she was herself again and told him all that she had done. He took up tire tale. "And the best of it." he finished, "that Mr. Farr likes me and says he has to have a man to look after his country place, sort of foreman, and he'll try me out. There's a little house, enly three rooms, but furnished, and some chickens and a garden not much, but a living. Yes, more than what we calling a living in town It's life, though the work Is hard. Will you try It with me, Mamie? I was coming back to ask you. Will you?" The girl pulled her arm back a lit tle so that he could the more easily clasp her hand. "I'd love to come." she answered simply. "You know I couldn't stand it anywhere without you, Jim." Dusk came, but even in the dusk life had no dimness for them. Everything seemed warm and fragrant and alive. And the world was readjusted it was all two-by-two and arm-in-arm and no body counted out. (Copyright 1912 by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT BY ROY K. MOULTON. The Reason. I love to board the trolley car And ride. It matters not how far, Upon a fine and breezy seat I can defy the sultry heat. I like the happy pick-up crowd. The warning bells that clang so loud, And when along the rails we zip It makes a fine and dandy trip. I don't believe that I would care To do my riding In the air Like Beachey does or Orville Wright. I like to know where I will light. I don't call autolng much fun; I almost never ride in one. And carriage riding palls on me. It's tame so far as I can see. Somehow or other I don't like To go out riding on a bike And motor boating to my mind Is riding of a tedious kind. Of course maybe some folk will think That my idea is on the blink, But I will tell the reason why The street car ride I'm swearing by, A simple hint will quite suffice. It Is a matter of the price. The trolley way Is, woe betide. The only way that I CAN ride. Nothing to Think About.

The Hutchinson News has been looking the matter up and it finds that if the men who fly aeroplanes are able to end war by these flights they will be doing a good thing for the world. If they obliterate contro- versy by taking it to peaceful coun cils for settlement, instead of by force, then the aviators of the world will have won a reward. It won't be much use for one country to go to war with the other now, if the other is an adept in the use of aeroplanes and explosives. It has been proven that a biplane can carry enough dyna mite or other explosive to blow a large sized community to kingdom come. And it may also le done with neatness and dispatch, despite war ships and heavily fortified places. If war provokes the use of the air ves sel for just such purposes, it will be well for the country attacked to have a protocol prepared in advance and arrangements made for some friend ly nation to interfere, for the very terror of it will make for peace. No city now marked up" on the map will want to have its citizens blown sky high by a package of guncotton dropped from a monoplane, so the first round of an air battery would be the hint to wave the white flag and propose a convention where peace as the subject would have the right of way. A fully equipped air vessel, as they are made these days, after a few minutes in action, could make an old fashioned war, with swords and pistols and -ed tape look like a sham battle. The aeroplane would b dropping dynamite on the head of soldier and citizen alike, and protec tion wouldn't be worth much that would come from land batteries and cordons of troops. The aeroplanes may make war so dangerous a thing and so costly that peace will have to come as a consequence. If it does then the air vessel is to get pages in history alongside the dove of peace.

Leaven worth Post. FROM OTNER PENS CURE FOR RACE SUICIDE. Zt is interesting to note that tne bat tle against race suicide has assumed a new and finer aspect, as shown by the reports of scientists attending the In ternational Congress of Hygiene. For merly the Idea of the proper way to combat race suicide was to preach big families the more babies born the better. Today science shows that a. wiser way to combat the evil is to save he lives of the babies that are born. In this way, though the family be smaller in numbers than formerly. Its members will have longer life, and In stead of families losing two to four babies out of every five or six, the big battle will be waged to keep the smaller family of three or four chil dren in perfect health. Science is al ready working out its race suicide problem in splendid form. Reports show that the largest percentage of deaths of babies under one year is in families of the negro and of the un educated foreigner. The smallest per centage is in native white families. Thus, while it is true tnat the native whites are reducing the number of children born to the family, of the children so born more are brought to maturity. This is a material gain from any point of view that one mtv take of the question. And it also shows that those who are preaching the gos pel of "large families" should likewiso Join in the fight to save the infants from early death. New York Ameri can.

At home after November 1, at 58 West Kleventh street. New York city.. The Gardenhire family formerly liv ed in Topeka, and Mrs. Gardenhire is the daughter1 of Mrs. A. B. Jetmore. The Myers family were also former Topeka people. Mrs. B. F. Akers entertained the Du plicate Whist club today at her home, 1218 Fillmore street. It was a business session, being the first meeting of the season. The Topeka Federation of Women, which has superseded the Federation of Clubs, had a luncheon Thursday after noon in the private dining room of the T. W. C. A. building- Mrs. F. W. Wat son, chairman of the social committee, was in charge of the party, which was the first formal and social gathering of the association. The re-organization of the federation was completed last spring before the adjournment for the si'mmer. and activities have begun again since the return of the president, Mrs. A. H. Horton. The table decorations were in the putumn hues, and asters and other fall flowers were placed in pumpkin shell vases, which heightened the season's coloring. The name cards were dec orated with fruits, and a quotation on the back was given In answer to roll call. Mrs. A. H. Horton introduced the after-luncheon speakers. Mrs. A. A. Gcdard, last president of the federation of clubs, responded to the toast "The New and the Old." She told of the first club she belonged to when she was a little girl,, and of her clab work In Clay Center in after years, and of club affairs in Topeka. Mrs. W. A. McCar ter's address on "Creating." explained the miesion ofthe federation to be that of creatine lofty ideals and bear ing a high standard of life in the com munity. Mrs. E. E. Roudebush told .if hei summer's work, which was con cerned with the advancement of the cause of equal suffrage in Kansas. She gave an account of her duties as sec retary of the Good Government club. Mrs. W. W. Kitchell's response to the toast, "The Latest," was an explana tion of the impossibility of knowing the newest thing in any line. "I had intended to review the newest book, Miss Graham's 'The Passin' on Party,' but I find that Mrs. McCarter's last book is still newer: the latest Joke Is old to someone, and the newest fad is replaced by another almost before it is tried. The latest, therefore, means being ready for the next thing." Mrs. C. J. Evans spoke on "The Highest Art," which, it seems, is co be found in the federation of women. "Our Poet," was the subject given Mrs. H. O. Gar vey. Her response was made in rhyme which told something of the work of the club women. Mrs. Garvey is assisting in the presentation of the operetta, "The House That Jack Built," by writing advertising In rhyme which is scld to the program advertisers. A part of her story was of her work ii commercializing Mother Goose. Covers were land for: Mrs. Horton.

The women who are constantly sneered at because they are in earn est about looking -well and are enough devoted to appearances to work over time at the "primping" business, have a word of encouragement from Villa Falkner Page, a lecturer before the National Society of the Daughters of the Empire State, in which she said: "Beauty was much more than skin deep it is mental." Blue eyes, she said, reflected a mental condition. Ex treme plumpness she called the visible evidence of a mental defect. Miss Page's talk was on "The Phil osophy of Joy." A woman made her own enjoyment,- she pointed out, ad ding that each one had a right to joy. She also said a woman who was In different to her looks should be sent to a sanitarium. "Be gentle, kind and charitable to your sisters," she said. "If you see a woman who has erred, do not pull your skirts aside. "All wish to look well. When a woman gets to the point of not caring how she looks, whether her hair is in order or her hat Is on straight, she Is bo near hopeless she should be sent to California or a sanitarium for a few weeks' rest."

Permits for the erection of new dwellings are being taken out daily at the office of the tire chiet, not withstanding the lateness in the sea son. The first meeting of the member ship committee of the Commercial club for the season will be held Satur day noon. A quiet membership cam paign will be planned. A meeting of the promotion com mittee of the Commercial club was held this noon to make final prepara tions for launching the factory aid plan a week from this evening. It is expected that the moving pic ture show series will bring people from the country and adjoining small towns The show will last nearly two hours and will be worth several times the price at least that is the predica tion of the management. Many of those who received a ounch of five tickets for the pipe organ moving picture shows in the Auditorium next week are sending in the money in payment for them, and several persons have asked the com mittee to send them mor tickets.

Its tonic effect gives strength and health so that after its use for a short time all the fiesh and" fat producing elements in the food will be easily assimilated ana re tained by the body. The large sale Druggist, Geo. W. Stansfield has had on Samose since he first introduced it in Topeka and the wonderful results following its use have mr.de him such an enthusitstic be liever in its great merits, that he gives his personal guarantee to refund the money if Samose does not make thin people fat and restore strength and health. When a gain in weight is noticed after Samose has, been used for a week or ten days, and health has improved, and you notice yourself growing stronger, you certainly should feel more than satisfied with what you have received from the small cost of 50c.
