On sale by newsboys at TW O CENTS On trains and newsstands FIVE CENTS BIG VOTEJS CAST Weather Conditions Are Favor able Throughout Country. Indications That All Previous Records Will Be Broken. THE 48 STATES OF THE UNION Are Registering Their Choice for the Presidency. In Washington, D. C, They Are Taking Straw Ballot. The three-cornered presidential con test sent to the polls today voters who took an unprecedented interest in the outcome of a campaign that had been waged with unusual bitterness. Mid day reports from every quarter indi cated a nation-wide record-breaking vote. In addition to the election of president and vice president and mem bers of congress, 33 states are voting for governors and 36 states for legisla tures which will fill vacancies in the United States senate. Generally favorable weather condi tions prevailed. In certain sections of the middle west, particularly in south ern Illinois, overcast skies and threat ened rain augured not well for the polling of heavy votes, but electors, notwithstanding continued their steaay march to the polls. New .Tork city Is casting by far the heaviest vote In its history, as also are all the other cities of that state. The rural vote in New Tork likewise is heavy. Tn Cincinnati 50 rer cent of the total vote had been cast before 11 o'clock and the vote throughout Ohio while slow owing to the size of the ballot and much reported scratching, was progressing with an unprecedented earnestness. Voting Machines Unpopular In Chicago the early hours saw every polling place filled with long lines of voters waiting to get into the booths. Very few voters in Chicago availed themselves of the opportunity of using the voting machines, which fact was considered to indicate that there was much scratching of ballots by members of all political parties. In the Pacific coast states the early voting was heavy, despite inclement weather in Seattle. Portland and northern California. The contest in Vermont was inter esting despite the fact that the state election was held in September and the vote was extremely heavy. This also was true of Maine, where all three leading parties are making a desperate fight to gain the electoral representation. Contrary to general expectations In view of the fact that party lines have been so closely drawn practically no disturbances were reported from any section of the country. Few arrests for violations of the election laws were made. All of the leaders of the three parties adhere to their previous predictions of success for their re spective candidates. However, there was nothing in the apparent attitude tf the voters which would indicate what the resultwould be. Taft Still Confident. President Taft spent the morning hours at the home of his brother, Charles P. Taft, in Cincinnati, and early in the afternoon prepared to cast his ballot. The president was confident that he would be returned to the White House. Governor Woodrow Wilson was the first of the three candidates to cast his vote. Governor Wilson dropped his ballot in a polling booth in an engine house and as he emerged from the vot ing booth smilingly observed that he had "voted the straight Democratic ticket." Governor Wilson will hear the re turns at his home with his family and a few friends. Colonel Roosevelt cast his ballot at Oyster Bay in a fire truck house. The Progressive party nominee for presi dent will hear the returns at his home on Sagamore Hill. Governor Johnson, the vice presidential nominee on the Progressive party ticket, could not re turn to California in time to vote, as he filled out Colonel Roosevelt's speak ing engagements in the east after the colonel had been shot. Governor Johnson spent the day in New York city and will hear the returns tonight at the Progressive party headquarters there. Governor Marshall cast his vote in Indianapolis. He walked to the polls with a friend. Heavy Vote Cast. The vacancy on the Republican tick et caused by the death of Vice Presi dent Sherman was not filled and Mr. Sherman's name remained on the bal lots. Reports received by the national chairmen of the three parties showed that heavy votes were being cast throughout the country. Half of the vote in Massachusetts in the cities and towns had been cast by 11 o'clock while Republican state headquarters in New York said their advices were that two-thirds of the vote in New York had been cast by noon. The leaders said that in New York there probably would be the smallest per centage of non-voters. Illinois, Indiana and in fact every state In the middle west cast an early with indications that all records would be broken. Splitting was reported in Michigan. Several thousand citizens who voted in the September primaries lost their right to vote in New Jersey by failure to register. Estimates differ as to the hour when the results on the presidential contest may be known tonight. Political lead ers figuring out landslides say the re sult will be known by nine o'clock, while others are inclined to the belief that i. will be 1-rter. Straw Vote in r. C. Washington, Nov. 5. Residents of the nation's capital have no voting franchise so while voters the country over are going to the polls for their favorite candidates, Washlngtonians are contenting themselves with cast ing straw votes. Hundreds of polling places throughout the District of Col umbia opened at sunrise and will con tlnue to receive ballots until sundown iCuntlnued on Face X.) ELECTION RETURNS. This evening the State Journal will give free to the public election bulletins by stereopticon at the Audi torium. Heretofore the paper has always given returns from its own building, but this year on account of the unfin ished condition of the new building and the scaffolding and material surround ing the same it was deemed advisable to give -he returns at the Auditorium There will be a big crowd, so come early. Being free and open to the public, with the compliments of the State i,.,rnai there can naturally be no seats reserved. The service, which will continue till midnight, will be that supplied by the Associated Press, our own reporters the various political headquarters and by special wires. The Second Regiment band will give a concert from 7 to 8 o'clock. The ladies Oi the Episc ipal church have made arrangements with the State Journal to serve hot coffee, sandwiches, doughnuts, pie, baked beans, etc., at moderate prices, beginning at 6 p. m.

Weather Man Overlooked a tow Pres sure When He Predicted Fair. The early morning was pleasant, but clouds soon enveloped the sky, and by 2 o'clock several light show ers had netted a total amount of rainfall of .01 of an inch. The wind is from a threatening di rection the southeast and the weather man predicts rain for to night with cooler temperatures The wind velocity is four miles an hour. Fair weather was predicted for to day, but an area of low pressure formed in the west-central part of the state, which has caused an un settled condition of affairs. According to the shippers' forecast, there will be no freezing weather in the next 24 hours within a radius of 200 miles.

Fair and colder BIG TOPEKA VOTE Polls Were Crowded at Certain Honrs This Morning. Predicted That 10,000 Men in Topeka Will Vote. MANY ARE "SCRATCHING" Mixup in Tickets Will Mean Slow Count Tonight. Necessary to Send Extra Bal lot Boxes to Polls. Judging by the vote this morning and this afternoon, it is predicted by C. H. Titus, city election commission er, that Topeka will cast 10,000 votes today. The male registration is near ly 13,000 a large majority of the legal voters will cast their ballots be fore 7 o'clock this evening. At 11 o'clock this morning it was necessar for the city to send out ex tra ballot boxes to many of the pre cincts. This is the first time in many elections that it has been necessary to use additional boxes to handle the ballots. The early morning vote today was the heaviest in history. Hundreds of laboring men over the city found it necessary to wait until evening on ac count of the line in front of the voting booths. It was the first time, accord ing to veteran election judges, that it was necessary for voters to stand in line during the morning hours. The mixed voting this year has caused considerable trouble over the city. Judges are called from their tables to assist voters in marking their ticket voters who have been unable to untangle the situation. The long ballots, also, are causing voters to waste considerable time in the booths. Many Are Scratching;. Scratching the ballots is the order ot the day in Topeka. From the comments heard around the polls, the talk on the street corners and the time con sumed in marking the tickets, it is ap parent that few voters are using the cross in the circle and that cross only. Standpatters, who do not like the names of Bull Moosers in the Repub lican column, Bull Moosers who are not favoring standpatters. Democrats who have favorites on the Republican county ticket and Democrats who have Bull Moose or Republican preferences all are switching back and forth through the columns or hoxes toaay. The combination of Republican and Independent presidential electors, the fight on- state candidates and the war among the county aspirants has caused more scratching than any other elec tion on record in Topeka. The election commissioner and the police department report very little trouble at the polls. At many precincts It has been necessary for the judges to order talkative voters out of the polls and the judges are kept busy watching the voters to see that they do not open their ballots outside the booths while waiting their turn to vote but nothing serious has marred the voting of the day. The dead line for ticket passers and suffragettes has been obeyed without disorder. The women are the hardest workers today. At every poll they are distributing bills, motor cars decora ted with their colors are parading the city. They are making a determined THE EYES OF THE WORLD ARE UPON YOU, MISTER I By John T. McCutcheon. k lilil i Wis It Wm B-mBa If tffort to make Topeka a leader in fa vor f their cause. It is not anticipated that the votes will be counted in all the precincts before late tomorrow afternoon. The scratching of the ballots and the length will keep the judges and clerks up all night and part of tomorrow. Complete returns in Topeka will not be an nounced until tomorrow evening. FIRST m TAFT Acushnel, Mass., Gives the President a Majority. He Receives 104 Votes to 102 for Both Opponents. Boston. Nov. 5. Taft carried Acushnel, the first town in the United States heard from today. The vote was: Roosevelt, 50; Taft, 104; Wilson, 52. In 1908 it gave Bryan 12; Taft. 118. Boston, Nov. 5. Norwell voted as follows: Roosevelt, 104; Taft, 97; Wilson, 78. In 1908: Bryan, 40: Taft, 164. Two Men Killed. Lexington, Ky., Nov. 5. Two men were killed as a result of quarreling at election booths in Kentucky today. In Lee county Constable Thomas Campbell was killed by John and James Caudill, it is charged, and in Anderson county Green Bowen was killed bv County Magistrate Hardin Satterlee. GONE HOME TO VOTE. Stubbs, Iolley and Henderson Martin Are at Homes Today. Both Chairman Dolley of the Repub lican state committee, arid Chairman Mar tin of the Democratic state committee, are voting today in their home counties. Mar tin left last night for Marion, where he voted today, and Dolley left this morning for his home in Maple Hill, where he will cast his ballot this afternoon. Both chair men will return to Topeka tonight to re ceive the returns. Before leaving Topeka, both chairmen expressed confidence in the result of to day's election. Neither conceded a poini to the opposition and each declared that his party would be the winner in ihe stub born political battle that has been waged in Kansas. Shortly after noon today Governor Stubbs left for his home in Lawrence, whre he will vote tMs afternoon. The Republican United States senatorial nomi nee will probably receive the returns to night at his home near Lawrence. BALLPLAYERS DEAD. Frank Murphy and Gus Kng, Pennant Winners, Die.

Believed State Will Cast 385, 000 Votes Today. Weather Prediction "Generally fair and cloudy. Cooler tonight." Sunny Flora. Regardless of clouded skies and threatening rain, Kan' is today poll ing a heavy early morning vote. At 10 o'clock every indication pointed to the heaviest vote in the history of the state. That the vote of 372,000 polled in 1908 may be wiped away by a vote of 375, 000 to 385,000, was the early prediction of men wise in politics. It is probable that a vote of more than 375,000 will mean that 350,000 to 365,000 votes will be polled by the predominate parties the Republicans and Democrats. What will be the result? At the various political headquarters final arrangements are being made this afternoon to receive the returns from the state and national elections. Both headquarters will use a full Western Union and Postal report, but will limit the attendance at the headquarters as far as possible. At Republican head quarters, instructions have been sent to all county chairmen urging them to send a report to Topeka as soon as the count is completed in five precincts in their county. Additional reports are to be sent with the completion of the count in each additional five precincts until the final count is available. The complete count will then be sent to headquarters in a special message. Returns from over the state will be late. It is hardly possible that any state-wide news will be received be fore 11 o'clock tonight and at midnight the wise ones in politics can perhaps predicate their opinion of the results based on scattered and incomplete re turns. Not until sometime Wednesday, it is believed, will there be any definite news of the state election unless the always uncertain and possible landslide should be in evidence in the early re turns. As soon as returns are received at headquarters, they will be tabulated and filed.. Adding machines, typewri ters, telephones, telegraph instruments and a corps of clerks will be some of the real essentials in gathering and compiling this mountain of figures on the state election. Not in 20 years has the election In Kansas been of such state wide inter est or more uncertain as to the ulti mate results. It Is this wide interest, backed by one of the most spectacular campaigns ever waged in Kansas that will hold the public interest until the result in Kansas and in the nation is finally determined. Four years ago Taft carried Kansas by 34,000 in an almost listless presi dential fight. This year the Republican party is split asunder. Grave and dire happenings are promised by the mem bers of both factions. On the other hand the Democrats are serene, happy and smiling. If there is a serious break in their ranks today, it has no surface -n-dicatlons. From all outward appear ances, the Democrats are staying pret ty close to their national, state and local tickets. They hope for victory in today's battle of ballots. There is not one of the 2.300 voting precincts in Kansas in which the fight is not being waged today. Every party, every faction, every leading candidate has his workers in each of these pre cincts and the fight is going to the last ditch. In every precinct there is the evidence of the sample ballots. There is William Allen White's second list of nana picked candidates and the lists of Bull Mc se candidates marked for slaughter by the Republican League. In many of the counties, marked ballots are being used to show the vot ers who are the Progressives and who are the Regulars and the lines are be ing tightly drawn around every voter who enters the booths And then, there is the quiet, silent, uncommuni cative voter who keeps his own coun sel, who votes his sentiments and says nothing. What will he do? Probably his- vote will decide the hottest politi cal contest Kansas has witnessed in a score of years. If he votes against the Bull Moosers, the Democrats will win. If he votes with the Progres sives, it is a clear case of toss up with the possibility of the election of the Republican ticket by reduced majori ties. In any event, it appears that the majorities this year will not be flat tering. Both parties claim the state and only the final count will tell the story. Voting began early in all the larger towns of the state, in the cities the polls opened at 6 o'clock and wil" not close until 7 o'clock tonight. In the small towns and in ihe coun-:-. the polls were opened at 8 o'clock and will close at 6 o'clock. Every town which had reported to the various headquar ters this morning, told the same story a heavy vote and both sides confi dent of success. Heavy early morning voting was reported this morning in Kansas City, Kan., Leavenworth, Atchison, Pittsburg, Fort Scott, Wich ita, Hutchinson and many of the smaller towns. In all the larger towns, a full vote is expected before the polls close tonight. Out in the country dis tricts the farmers are showing an un usually lively interest in the election and many of the rural precincts have reported an exceptionally heavy morn ing vote. Earl this morning Sunny Flora look ed at his weather map and sighed. "I did want to give 'em sunshine today," sighed the prophet of the weather, "but it will probably be cloudy the greater portion of the day." Then Flora smiled. "I don't think it will rain, though, and it won't be a really bad day after all. Conditions over the state are about the same as in Tope ka. There may be a little sunshine, but it won't last long." And with that information from the weather department, you can make your advance figures on the election re turns. THE KANSAS VOTE Heavy Vote All Over State, Ac cording to Soon Advices. Senator and Governor Fights Aronse Most Interest. Fort Scott, Kan., Nov. 5. Heavy voting in all precincts marked the opening of the polls today in Bourbon county. Telephone communications from all parts of the county indicate unusual interest among the farmers in the result of today's election and many voters in the rural districts went to the polls early. Interest in the congressional contest between Con gressman Joseph Taggart and J. L. Brady is keen with claims that Tag gart will carry the county. Sedgwick Vote Very Heavy. Wichita, Kan., Nov. 5. One of the largest votes ever polled in Sedgwick county Is predicted in today's election. Every precinct in Wichita reported heavy voting this morning and the full vote of bothpredominate parties is predicted. The Murdock opposition which has been unusually intense for several days, has brought the Eighth district congressman's friends to the firing line. Murdock claims he will carry this, his home county, by a good majority. Third District Voters Out Early. Pittsburg, Kan., Nov. 5. Reports from all parts of the Third district to day indicate that every county in the district will poll a full party vote in today's election. Clouded skies hur ried many voters to the polls in the morning hour and the early vote was large. Congressman Campbell con tinues his claim that he will carry ev ery county in the district. The con test on United States senator and governor is intense and bitter. Wyandotte's Bis Vote Rolls Up. Kansas City, Kan., Nov. 5. Wyan dotte county will today roll up one of the biggest votes in her history. Both the Democrats and the Republicans are claiming the county and the contest will be close, according to observers of local political conditions. National is sues are lost sight of in the stubborn state and congressional contests. The Full Strength of the Seventh. Hutchinson, Kan., Nov. 5. Apparent ly every county in the big Seventh dis trict Is today polling Its full vote. The refusal of. hundreds of voters to discuss either state or national issues adds to the uncertainty of the election. Ballots are bein freely scratched, apparently, and returns will be late. Saline County Voted Karly. Salina. Kan., Nov. 5. Saline county will poll her full vote today if the heavy morning vote is an evidence of the determination of members of both parties to go to the polls. The sena torial and gubernatorial contest here has been very intense. Former Uni ted States Senator J. Ralph Burton, is a Democratic candidate for the leg islature in today's election. He claims his election by a good majority. Iiili White's Town Stirred Cp. Emporia, Kan.. Nov. 5. The early j morning voting in Emporia was the heaviest in years. Much interest in the' result of today's election is dis- j played by followers of both parties and the contest in this county will proba- j bly be unusually close. It is claimed that Jackson will carry this county by a small majority and that Stubbs and Capper will win in the county by re duced majorities. I ALL INJHE DARK The Balkan People Are Being Kept in Ignorance Regarding What Is Going On at the Front. FIGHTING STILL IN PROGRESS Reinforcements Continue to Go Forward Daily. Austria Shows Indications of Getting Into the Game. Sofia, Nov. 6. Reinforcements con tinue to proceed to the front from the Bulgarian capital In considerable num bers. Some Servian troops passed through here yesterday for Adrlanople and today eight battilions of vol unteers, including Macedonians and Russians, entrained for the front. It is reported that fighting still con tinues in the neighborhood of Serai and Tchorlu. People are being kept in entire ignor ance of the happenings around Adrla nople and at Tchorlu, where the Turk ish and Bulgarian armies are fighting. Nothing has been published here for the past three days. An important ministerial conference was held this morning the results of which have not been made public. The hospitals of Sofia, Philippolis and other centers are crowded with wounded men. Thirty foreign war correspondents have announced that they are leaving the Bulgarian headquarters and re turning to their respective countries. Austria Jiutts In. Vienna, Nov. 5. The first division of the Austria-Hungarian fleet consisting of the three battleships, one cruiser and two torpedo boat destroyers left the naval station at Palo for the east last night. The exact destination Is not known but the commander ofthe dl cision has been ordered to report to the Austro-Hungarian ambassador at Constantinople from whom will be as certained where the vessels can best be employed. The attitude of the Austro-Hungarian government in regard to the pro posal of Premier Poincare for the ad justment of the Balkaa situation is clearly stated today in the Neue Frle Presse, which says: "The present military situation In the Balkans cannot be decisive for the so lution of the whole eastern question. Premier Poincare gives to the Balkan states more than they themselves have demanded. "The proposal which is a most radi cal expression of Pan-Slavlst tenden cies, is so one-sided that It can hard ly find the approval of all the powers and particularly of Austria-Hungary, the less so as nothing is said regard ing the future of Albania. This is a question which is of the greatest im portance both to Austria-Hungary and Italy. The anxiety of Austria-Hungary that Servia shall not occupy Al bania and. thus secure that outlet on the Adriatic sea which the Servians are so desirous of, probably will pro vide a graat bone of contention. Servia has been warned already from Vienna that her armies have gone far enough to the west. This warning is repeated today by the semi-official Fremden blat." After praising the Servian sqldiers for their humanity the newspaper says: "The Servians having approached the frontier of a territory occupied with out exception by Albanians, it Is hoped and expected now that Servia will avoid the raising of those difficulties which the historic character of the Albanians make insurmountable. The most elementary Justice demands that the principle of 'the Balkans for the Balkan people' shall also be to the ad vantage of the Albanians." Prince Ghirka, the president of the Albanian national commission, it Is said is to be proclaimed king of Al bania. IiOsses Are Heavy. Vienna, Nov. 6. According to a military authority here the total num ber of the killed and wounded on both sides in the Balkan war up to today Is 150.000 men. The losses are distrib uted as follows: At Kirk-Kilisseh and Adrlanople Turks, 25,000; Bulgarians, 7.000. At Lule-Burgas and during the Turkish retreat Turks, 40,000; Bul garians, 25,000. At Kumanova Turks, 7,000; Ser vians, 6,000. Scutari and vicinity Turks, S.OOOi Montenegrins, 6,000. In small engagements Turks, 6,000; Servians, 3,000. In engagements with the Greeks Turks, 2,000; Greeks, 2,000. Qwcl Is Brewing. London, Nov. 5. The great powers of Europe are aligning themselves on either side of a very sharp line re garding the future of the Balkan states. Public opinion in England, France and Russia argues that the al lies should have the territory which they have conquered and Russia has warned Turkey that conditions could only become worse should further dis asters1 occur at Tchatalja. On the other side are Austria-Hungary, Germany and Italy. Austria-Hungary, which after all is the most In terested of the great powers, being the nearest neighbor to the Balkan states, will not, it is believed, sit quietly by and 'see the Balkan league establish itself across her path 'to the Aegean sea in which direction her trade is ex panding while at the same time the Servians spread to the Adriatic sea. The Austrian government points out that the Albanians are as much a na tion as any of the allies and that Al bania should be reserved for the Al banians. The first sign of dissension among the Balkan allies themselves comes in a dispatch from Belgrade in which it if said the Servians are beginning to declare that the autonomous Albania which was agreed upon before the war started, has now faded away. In the dispatch the Musselman Albanians who fought against the Servian troops are blamed for the change in the Ser vian attitude. (Continued on Fare Tw

Hundreds of suburbanites who nave residences the two state3 and come to work every day in the district, exercised their franchise early and then came to their officii.

Nov. 5. Reports to na tional political headquarters coming from the confidential agents of the from the conriaentia! apnts oi tne three principal parties, bore out tne various accounts of heavy voting throughout the northern, central and western states. Chairman McCombs at Wilson headquarters said he saw no reason to change his earlier pre diction that Governor Wilson would be the victor. The only central state conceded to be in doubt was Michi gan and National Committeeman Wood said they at least had an even chance. At Republican headquarters none of the higher officials was present dur ing the forenoon. Chairman Hilles -was at an uptown hotel, where he Is acting as host of Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen Taft, the wife and daughter of the president. They came to this city i to receive the returns. Chairman Dixon and George W. I Perkins arrived early at Progressive headquarters. Mr. Dixon still claimed that CoL Roosevelt would be elected and added that he was satisfied that the Progressive candidate would not finish worse than second. Taft Votes An Ballots. Cincinnati, Nov. 6. President Taft took the full allotted five minutes when he voted shortly after noon. He voted each of the six separate ballots, five of which are devoted to local affairs. Before visiting the polling booth the president visited a number of Cincin-! natl friends Including Congressman Nicholas Longworth, son-in-law of CoL Roosevelt. President Taft was cheered by a number as he drove through the streets on his way to vote. Wilson Votes It Straight. Princeton, Nov. 6. Governor Wood row Wilson voted the straight Demo cratic ticket at 10:51 o'clock in the in terior of an engine house. He was in the voting booth for four minutes ad remarked aa he came out that the bal lot was so big he "had a hard time finding the Democrat presidential elec tors." Roosevelt Writes Letters.

JUST A FEW FIGURES, How the Counties Voted for Against Stubbs 1908-1910. and Election returns from over Kansas will be very very late tonight and your only e I evening satisfaction Is to make predictions on what has happened in to day s war of ballots in the state. For once your figures are probably just as reliable as those of your neighbor. Just shut one eye and figure. Only the final result will tell. And while you are figuring, here are a rew figures that may interest you. You may be reasonably certain that today's vote in the state is fully as large as that of four years ago. In 1908, Taft carried I e staw by 34,000 and Stubbs ran right the 105 counties ln the statA Three of the eight counties which Stubbs lost in 1908, he carried in 1910. Yet in 1910, he lost zo counties instead of eight. In 1908, his heaviest reverses were in counties in ke short grass district. Two years later his salvation was this very territory that was eitner close or against the auburn haired Kansas executive in 1908. In 1908, Stubbs received 196,692 votes to 162,385 for Botkin. In 1910, which was an oft year in politics both parties polled a light vote and Stubbs received 162,181 to 146,014 for George H. Hodges, leaving a majority of 16,167 for Stubbs. When Stubbs made his first fight for governor, he won the big eastern Kansas counties, or most of them. He even car ried Crawford, Labette, Montgomery, Leavenworth and Shawnee. Two years later he lost all of these counties except Labette and Montgomery, which gave him majorities. In the 1908 election, Stubbs carried all except Atchison, Barton, De catur, Ellis, Rush, Sherman, Thomas and Wyandotte. That year he lost Wyan dotte by 703, made a gain in 19 U and lost the county by but 244. In 1908, Stubbs car ried Shawnee by 1,355 and two years later lost it by 470. Atchison county gave Stubbs 2,886 in 1908 and 2,946 for Botkin. Two years later it gave Hodges 2,530 and Stubbs 1,914 Dickinson county in 1908 gave Stubbs E68 majority in 1908 and in 1910 he lost It by 130 Crawford county gave Stubbs 817 majority in his first race and 739 majority for Hodges in 1910. Har per county gave Stubbs 170 majority four years ago and two years ago gave Hodges 473 majority. And thus it went. East, west, north and south. Stubbs won coun ties he had lost before, lost counties wlilnli hari rollpri tin hie maioritv for him in his first fight. Now, what have some n v. c,ama nmmtfoa Anna trt KtiiViVtc a-nH flamer and the Remibllcan state ticket in today's battle? Official records show that ln 1910, Sfubhs lost these counties: Atchison. Barton, Cherokee, Crawford, Decatur, Dickinson. Ellis.

COUNTRY VOTE HEAVY According to Reports in Topeka From Rural Shawnee Precincts. Evidence that the voting In the country precincts is extremely heavy Is shown in the fact that a number of precincts- before noon today had tele phoned to the county clerk for more ballots.

"I believe most of the precincts have ballots enough," said County Clerk Samuel G. Zimmerman, "but of course they want to be sure. We are sending extra ballots to all those who are asking for them, to be sure there i are enough." The ballots sent out ln the first ln- stance were one and a half times as many as there were votes cast two years ago. ln precincts where 100 votes were cast two years ago, for in- stance, 150 ballots were sent out this'inK today.

There was a good many readjustments of value in the various classes of cattle last week, price changes being governed by the volume of the supply in each class. More short fed steers came in than in any two weeks previously this fall and that kind lost 15 to 40 cents. Prime steers are not considered to have been involved in the decline, though there were1 none Of the finished variety offered. .Cowb and heifers continue scarce and they closed the week 10 to 15 cents higher. Veal demand got ahead of the supply, and prices went up 25 to 75 cents. Stocker and feeder demand fell off a little and values slumped off 20 to 30 cents. Quarantine steers sold readily, and closed with the same- advance noted on cows and heifers. Range cattle from the pan handle. New Mexico, and Colorado were offered freely, and had to stand the same mutations as the offerings from native territory. Today the run is cut in two by today at 10 to 25 cents higher prices, the 10.000 head received not Deing enousn to go round. The condition today Is largely fictitious, but it reflects a healthy basis. Stock and feeding cattle were content with a slight advance today, and cows and heifers likewise sold merely strong veal calves up another quarter. Top short fed steers $10.00, quarantine steers $6.15, range beef $7.25, feeders $7.25, stock steers $6.75. Range cows and heifers $6.00, Pan handle cows $5.25, wet- cows- $4.40, veal calves $9.75.

INTO SANTA FE COAL FIELDS. Extension of Oklahoma Central Rail road Is Latest Plan. Oklahoma City, Okla., Nov. 5. An extension of the Oklahoma Central railroad, now in operation between Lehigh and Chickasha. from Lehigh To Midway is the first result of the organization of a new company, head ed by Dorset Carter, president of the Oklahoma Central, to operate the new coal properties of the Santa Fe rail road The deal embraces the proper ties of the Western Coal Mining company, formerly owned by the Gould system, and the properties of the Folsom-Morris Coal Mining com- The immediate extension to Midway is necessary in order to handle the product of the company, which is ex pected to reach 2,000 tons daily within the next ninety days. The plan is to begin work at an early date on a fur- A i ther extension out or Lehigh to Paris, Texas. This line would run through the heart of the segregated coal district, which has just been plat ted by government ippraisers into small farms and will be sold to set tlers in the near future. The building of the proposed line is expected to be a material factor in the development of that section. Carter is also pushing his plans for a line west from Ardmore to Waurika, through the oil fields in the western part of Carter county, but he seems t Thrift And The Clothes Cleaners Are Brothers, Too WHETHER you have many clothes or few, you certainly must want to get all there is com ing1 to you in wear and good looks. Even the best clothes are sure to look shabby and seedy if they are not cleaned and pressed moderately often. The right kind of cleaning and pressing will make even old, and worn clothes bright, new and presentable. It's just common sense and good judg ment to patronize the cleaner the oftener the better.

Bets Paid on Ruling That Southern Fighter Wins. New Orleans, Nov. 5. Wagers on the Wolgast-Mandot fight here last night were decided today by opinion expresses fcy the sport writers of tne four lei; newspapers in favor of the backers of Mandot. The i!it ac cording I.- agreement, was wlth'-ui a referee's decision and the wagers. running into several thousand dollars, I were based on the newspaper men's decisions. Two papers' gavo the fight to Mandot and one called it a draw. The opinion of the fourth will not be known until this afternoon, but even should it be for Wolgast the three opinions already made public, count ing the draw as a half vote as is the custom, give the bout to the local boy. Ed. W. Smith of Chicago, who ref ereed the fight, said that Mandot had a "narrow escape" in the third round; that "he weathered the next rounds up to the sixth," that his clean work from that to the middle of the seventh evened the fight; and that "he un doubtedly had a clean record during the last two rounds and a half" and "must be considered a strong con tender for Wolgast's title." Wolgast and Joe Mandot divid ed honors ;n a ten round, no decision bout here. Both .oo a. lot of punish ment but at the end noither had the advantage, according to a decision of newspaper men. Although Mandot was accredited with having the better of four of ten rounds, Wolgast, with one, while the others were even, the cham pion's infighting and early aggressr ness won for him the unofficial draw decision. Wolgast lost no' time early in the fight feeling out his new opponent. but went at him hammer and tongs. He seemed to try for a knockout in the first round. Mandot stopped the rushes and soon began fighting the champion in his own way. Wolgast clearly naa tne advantage in the infighting, Mandot at times ap pearing absolutely unable to fathom the champion's machine-like Jabs when at close Quarters. Mandot played for the face and had Wolgast's nose bleeding early in the fight, wolgast reso'rted principally, to body blows. ST. MARYS IS VICTOR. Catholics Make Double the Score Se cured by Visitors.

PROP KICKS All sorts of dope is coming from the football camp at Lawrence now and of course most of it is wafted Topeka- ward. It was manufactured and ex posed for this purpose.

All of which shows how well the Lawrence scribes realize the Kansas stock needs boost- ing. Not that Washburn has the Jay- hawks beaten. Not for some time yet. Nor have the wearers of the local i oiganization could be effected, offi colors any walkaway. But there Is a cers elected and a commission of five chance to beat Kansas.

Eut this year something must be done to glve the Kansas men new confidence lTl cheerful dope plan Is being tried. It doesn't mean anything except that Kansas is scared. But it does mean that. As has been mentioned before in this column Kansas claimed an unde feated team after the first couple of games. This claim was made a little early as the game with Drake showed. Then Kansas outlucked the Aggies j and the university stock went bound- inr skyward again. But the game I with the Sooners squeezed the water out of this stock quickly. Now there is an epidemic of dumps at the uni versity which the coaches, through the scribes, are trying to stop by the S-t"" JT" T IvT ou,T confidence treatment. Perhaps it fme wafl fa!t from the beginning will tnWe Tnnnvotinna ,t,. o- oeert when nil r.r th Unnwr. miiiM fail. Kansas may outluck or out play the Blue Saturday and win. But the chances are aginst this if the local men work this week and Saturday as they should. The Sons of Ichabod have shown their gameness in the gridiron battles this year. If they keep it up and remember their foot ball there is a chance for them to humble the pride of Mosse at the week end.-. Smiley has been sent back to his old position at quarter and will be Groomed for that place in the Kansas contest. Not that McNeish isn't mak ing a good quarter. But Smiley is an older head and has perhaps, a little more pepper than the Irish general. who has been giving a good account of himself this season. While the writer has no information on the sub ject he would not be surprised to see McNeish back at quarter after the Kansas contest. Smiley of course will make good. But there's nothing par ticularly wrong with the Irish on the Washburn team. It is merely a case of Coach Driver wanting the more experienced man to run the team in a crucial contest. And Smiley earned a chance to run the team in the Em poria contest. The politicians have been trying for three months to make us believe that there was to be some kind of a contest today but every one in Topeka knows the real contest comes off Sat urday. If the Washburn spirit is to make a permanent return to Topeka this is the week for him to establish his resi dence. Ths "old grads" are coming out in force, the school is solidly be hind the team, the players are a game bunch and it's up to Topekans to get out and see the biggest contest of the year in Topeka.

Sprinkling of Big Show Talent at Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Kan., Nov. 6. The greatest throng that ever met a base ball team here was out to see the Rreai Biars piayea as- I tonished the fans of this district. Today's game brought together here the greatest aggregation of stars that has ever been seen in Pittsburg, bar ring none, and the fans were curious to see them throw and hit and they were not disappointed. Among the players who appeared for the local team were Earl Hamil ton of the St. Louis Americans; Dutch Griffin of the Western association; Jack Love of the K- C. Blues; Joe Kelley, a home boy who made such a record with the St. Joe team that he has been bought by the Chicago White Sox; Stengel of the Brooklyns, and the Olsons, who are star ama teurs in this section. The Galena aggregation was head ed by Walter Johnson, king of them all, and supported by the best play ers that are now in this district, among whom were Dick Bayless, a Joplin boy, who has been the sensa tion of the Pacific coast this sum mer, and Fillman, the popular hero of the Joplin bunch. Large crowds were present from Joplin and Galena and nearly all the smaller towns in southeast Kansas were represented at the game. The result: R H E Galena. 1 2 1 Pittsburg 0 3 2 NEW PLAYS FOR BLUE. Kansas Team Points for Game With Washburn. Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 5. The Jay hawkers were given a new set of plays which will be sprung on Washburn at Topeka next Saturday. The Kansas mentors are not taking any chances on the Congregationalists and will be ready for anything Driver's men spring. This afternoon's workout for the Kansans consisted In a stiff scrimmage practice against the second team. After the hard work the men were given some lessons in charging through the line and tackling. Kansas will have her full strength against the Sons of Ichabod next Sat urday. Weideman, the big 190-pound tackle, was out for practice for the first time In a week. C. of E. Meets Aggies. Emporia, Kan., Nov. 5. Hargiss eleven of the College of Emporia goes against the Aggies at Manhattan Fri day undefeated and unscored upon. The Emporlans enter this game, which will eliminate one or the other from the state championship consid eration, with a total of 221 points to its opponents 0. The game has been changed to Friday, the Aggie man agement offering a bonus. The Em poria school will send a special train and 100 rooters to the battle. Har giss is giving his bunch severe daily workouts, but the squad is handi capped by injuries. DEMOCRATIC RALLY. About 1,800 Heard Ifodges, Botkin and Schenck Speak. About 1,800 people attended the Hodges-Botkin meeting at tho audi torium last night when ihe two Dem ocratic speakers flayed Stubbs, Cap per and the Bull Moosers. It was a sympathetic Democratic audience and was wild in its applause when the Progressives on the Republican state ticket were called to task for their in consistencies. Hodges, gubernatorial opponent of Arthur Capper, was given an ovation when he stepped to the iront of the etage to defend his record against the attacks of the Capper publications. Attorney J. J. Schenck spoke for 15 minutes in behalf of tha Democratic county ticket. Then S. E. Barber, Democratic senatorial nominee, was introduced and made a short plea for '.-otes in today's election. He was eheeied wildly when he declared that "the red haired governor of Kansas will never get my vote, for United Ktales senator." Barber said he would support Thompson if he is elected.

'iVni'gtti aroused the crowd which attended the meeting. Botkin tore great holes in the Capper platform. He nailed Cap per's record to a post and showed his audience the weak spots in the docu ment. Then Botkin took up the ad vertising matter in the Capper publi cations and dwelt at length on the Hodges, who followed Bot kin. told of the unkept promises of the Stubbs administration. He discussed the increases In state taxes and allud- ed to the fat contingent funds of state i officials. In reviewing the Stubbs record, Hodges declared that every j progressive measure enacted in Kan sas in the last eight years, has been I passed with Democratic votes. Then Hodges called the crowd's attention to the promises in the Republican platform in 1910. He mentioned the, initiative and referendum and the re- call: and stated that a Republican leg- J islature failed to adopt these meas ures, although the Democratic mem bers of both houses had given their assistance to the passage of the bills. Hodges closed with an appeal for Re publican votes that would elect him to the governorship and for the elec tion of a legislature that would as s:st him in writing these laws on the statute books.

Tbo State Journal i a member of to Associated Press and receives the full day taiegrapn report or mat mw mntsarlon for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. Tttm nswa la racslvad In The Btate Joa Hi building over wlrea for this sole pur- Political post-mortems will soon be In order, more's the pity. "With the banks full of money, the people should, at least, be full of hope. Many of the candidates for office will awake tomorrow much richer in experience, if nothing else. Hudson Maxim says that strong per fumes kill many people. But It's al- IWaya the Innocent bystander. Maybe before the Balkan war is bver the members of the Greek letter societies will be called to the front. It is a fairly safe guess that "The Kew Sin" is drawing bigger houses in Nw York thorn is "A Daughter of Heaven." Football dopesters seem to be no rrore reliable than those of any other variety. They picked Princeton to de feat Harvard. Perhaps that Chicago reformer, who insists that "dress does more harm than whisky," tried to drink one of those fuzzy hats that the men are now wearing. Some of the Chicago newspapers aro showing their solicitude for the health of Jack Johnson by suggesting that he go to some southern resort for the winter. Just the same, the men who are the surest they know how the election is coming out will be In the front of the crowds tonight watching the bul letins of the returns. A glance at the newspapers of the last few days will show that the males of the species, who are candidates for office, are close' contenders with the women for the honor of being the champions in having "the last word." All records in one particular, at any r-ite, are surely in the possession of that Chicago man who has deserted his wife and family no less than 47 times In the six years. Incidentally, his wife must have been unusually at tractive to have him come back 46 times. Topeka's activity in home building has not been checked by the approach of cold weather. In fact It seems to be rushing along with even increased force. And this is about all the evi dence needed that Topeka is enjoying a most substantial growth. More evidence that the people of this land are progressing In the right direction is to be found in the paucity of the freak election bets that have been recorded this fall in the ,news impers. Rolling a peanut around a block seems to be a pursuit exclusive With the old-fashioned folk. Senator Dixon's prediction that Col ont'l Roosevelt is certain to get enough votes today to elect him to the presi dency loses some of Its force when it is put along side of his prediction of a few months ago that Mr. Roosevelt would be certain to win the Republi can presidential nomination in a walk. During the month of October new security issues to the amount of $203,000,000 were announced in this country, as compared with 68,000,000 in the same period a year ago. This is pretty good evidence of the renewed activity and confidence in the world of trade and finance. Present indications are that the war between the Balkan allies and the ip.i.1.. m l Bvni t?.. oiiv.il. melt: ims been nothing about it that wvored of sweetness. Indeed, it has been a most sanguinary affair, and another excellent argument for hastening the day of universal peace. With the games for the baseball championship of the world and the unusual activities of the politicians, the football heroes have had a diffi cult time this fall in getting the recog nition to which they think themselves entitled. However, they may do a lit tle better after the votes cast today have been counted. Announcement on the part of Mark Tulley, the state treasurer, that Kan sas is in debt only to the extent of $370,000 which can easily be wiped Out entirely within a few years, will prob ably encourage many and divers leg islators to devise ways and means for increasing the obligations of the commonwealth. CHANGING EUROPE'S MAP. J farmer. If our present tide of pros An interesting opinion concerning the perity serves to delay, .the much effects of the war between the Balkan needed reform of our banking facill states and Turkey is provided by Henry ties for the farmer. the bumper crops Clews, the New York banker, in his of 1912 will prove a misfortune in dis current weekly financial review. Re- guise. marking that the financial situation in; Germany and, France, Mr. xierrick j this country during the past week or so has again been largely dominated by developments abroad, Mr. Cle.vs writes "The Balkan war completely upset all expectations. The Turks met with a series of surprising defeats, the results of which are sure to lead to important changes In the map of Europe. There is now little doubt but that Turkish rule will disappear forever in the Bal kans, and that the Christian population in that part of the world will no longer be under Mohammedan control, Eventually this will work for more stable political conditions in that part of Europe, which for generations has been a point of serious international nnMn1tnnn.. That Infla. finable thing, the balance of power in j Any numDer of men could well af Europe," has been broken; and, while ford to be more conservative in the the war promises an early termination

because or tne serious aeieats aummia- tered to the Turks and because of the limited financial resources ofthe Balkan States, the final readjustment may re quire time and skillful diplomacy. The most serious possibility of friction lies between Russia and Austria. Owing to the reasonable attitude of the latter, however, latest advices indicate the chances as being in favor of an amica able understanding. England is likely to play an important part in the final adjustment. Should Russia and Austria get into difficulties France would prob ably take sides with Russia. But Eng land is very friendly with France, and has to keep in view the peaceful control of millions of Mussulmans under her dominion in India and elsewhere. Ger man interests also lie in the direction of peace, for she can ill afford to pro voke the hostility of either France or Russia, being wholly preoccupied with profitable industrial development. At the moment, therefore, the general out look is for an early termination of the war, and an adjustment of disturbing issues on a basis that will promote the peace of Europe and at least partially remove an element of serious interna tional friction. A WISE SOCIETY MATRON. So many bricks are thrown at the ultra-fashionables of the land and those who have gobs of money, made or inherited, that it is only fair to toss them a posy once in a while when they show the qualities that deserve such recognition. Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, formerly Tes- sie Fair, of the old Bonanza regime, and her nephew, Herman Oelrichs, should come in for a regular shower of flowers for the everyday wisdom and homely virtues they have shown. A few years ago, when young Oel richs was nearing the age when boys take to cigarettes and drinks as a sign of manliness, Mrs. Vanderbilt piayed a clever, womanly trick on him. Al though a member of the Four Hun dred, she has never been identified with its fast set and she looks with horror upon the idle young boys and girls who recruit themselves for it by youthful dissipation. It would have been foolish for her to argue with the boy in this matter. Womanlike, she reached him along the line of the least resistance and the most attraction. She offered to bet him a cool half million of her money against a like sum of his future fortune an the prop osition that he would not smoke or touch intoxicants of any kind until he was 21. He snapped her up at once any eon of Herman Oelrichs would take a bet and then proceeded to take measures to win it. He was no anchorite or recluse, or prig or mollycoddle, this young Oel richs. He went to college and mingled with the boys like a good democratic mixer. He was strong in athletics; trolled a fair tenor in the glee club; was out for sports of any kind at any time, and, to his credit, was a good average student. The boys liked- him, though he never joined them in sprees; his teachers liked him, too, ai-.d his college career was a happy and cred itable one. The other day he came to his ma jority and his aunt gladly paid over the $500,000 to him. He has made no pledges for the future, but a young fellow of his birth and environment who shows such a level head and so much backbone can be trusted to smoke and drink with discretion, should he decide to smoke or drink at all. FINANCING THE FARMER. During the last three or four years the United otates has been losing rank as an agricultural power, says Current Literature for November. This year, whether by the favor of fortune or the increase of intensive and scientific methods of farming, or both. Uncle Sam has harvested prodigious crop3. The cotton crop is estimated at 16 per cent above the previous maximum, and the government experts tell of a rec- T.l,ID. nr r.r-n not a Hid i rm." l'..V spring-sow a v ueai. The total wheat crop probably exceeds the yield of 700,000,000 bushels which has been re corded only twice before in our history. Brewing interests should find satisfac tion in the barley crop; paint and oil industries must be encouraged with the flax report; while abundant forage crops (in which the consumer is indirectly interested), an excellent crop of pota toes, fruit, and vegetables, together with the cereal yields. Justify a cheer ful frame of mind not alone in the business man or railroad manager but in the people at large. It is not sufficient, however, to grow crops; they must be harvested and financed. Of all great businesses In America, farming alone has yet to be put on an adequate basis commercial ly. Europe, as Myron T. Herrick, American ambassador to France, ex plains, has established banks for the assures us, have not only taught their farmers now to make tne iana yieiu maximum crops, but they also set up the financial machinery by which the farmers can borrow cheaply and easily the money they need to put in opera tion the processes they are taught. As a consequence, France. Germany and j other European countries are now far in advance of the United States in the per acre production of foodstuffs.

Considering the material they have to work with some women do ex tremely well in making-over their husbands. Doesn't the fact that a human Is equipped with two ears and one mouth suggest that he should do at least twice as much listening as talking? Enthusiasm is a great thing, says the Haven Journal, but you want to mix it with a lot of commo'n sense. The Parsons Sun points out that the sheriff of Montgomery county opened the hunting: season in Caney by mak- ing raids on the Elks, Eagles and Owl lodges. "Flagged Train "With Shirt" is one of the favorite headlines used by the editors of several Kansas weeklies over "readers" advertising a patent medicine. Isn't it a wasteful extravagance, asks the Americus Greeting, when a $3-a-day man takes a half day off to play croquet? And does it not help add to the cost of living? C. C, of the Formoso New Era, has noticed that it is hard for a rounder to be on the square; and also that the word "work" occurs in the Bible four times more often than "worship." A young Concordia sport engaged in a crap game with a half-breed Indian and emerged therefrom with a much carved face, which kept two physicians busy for the rest of the day. The law recognizes the man as the head of the family and the boss of the household,- declares the Hiawatha World, but it is particular to add: The trouble comes in getting his wife to recognize it. A Belolt merchant advertises new and old stovepipes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, crackers, flowering bulbs. meats and cakes for school children's lunches. The Jamestown Optimist calls attention to the fact that he overlooked knitting needles, spavin cure and celluloid collars. Bud Slivers got the ear of the To ronto Republican the other day and said: To show that a change of condi tions will make a change of opinion. I have a friend who once very much admired a young lady of the extreme blond type. He called her his golden haired beauty. But she married the other fellow and now my friend refers to her as "that red headed woman." Doc Robinson lately found a purse containing a five dollar bill, relates the Atchison Globe: He immediately traded the bill for five silver dollars, and then returned the purse and all of the money to the owner, whose card was In the purse. Doc, you have proven yourself an honest man, but how does it come there are five silver dollars in my purse instead of a five dollar bill?" the owner asked. "It's an easy matter to explain. I merely changed the bill," said Doc, as he took a fresh chew, "so that you could pay me a reward. GLOBE SIGHTS BY TUB ATCHISON OLOBE.

From Our London Correspondent, London is a larsre citv which covers all of England and portions of Scot land ana Wales. It has a town hall. a good band and orchestra, excellent patrol wagons, a trood hotel, a fine church and a theater which is open every night or so. There is hardly a night but what there ia some sort of show at the opera house. There are no tall buildiners in Lon don. I inquired about this and was told that it was due to the fact that the sky was so close to the ground most of the time that anythine hierh- er than five stories would be in an other world. The climate of London is hard to describe. In fact, they have none. All they have is weather and they have this all the time. It is so fog gy most of the time that a man can walk home with tuppence worth of tripe lor lunch without beiner talked about. I believe it has even been possible in some cases for a gentle man to help another gentleman's wire across the thoroughfare without starting a scandal and, when it comes to dodging creditors, the London fog Is the greatest invention that has ever been accomplished. Oftentimes men are obliged to stay down in the city jtwo or three weeks at a time because they can't find their way home. They have been making this ancient and bewhiskered excuse stick for centuries. England has some advantages over America. The fog is one. There are nights when a fog like that would be worth a good deal to some men I know. SAYS UNCLE GAV The average fellow who declares that he would rather be right than victorious would come nearer the truth if he admitted that he would rather be beaten than be right. For there are few men who have a just cause, backed by an acquaintance with the gentle art of advertising, who can't score. The Mulligrubbers' union to the contrary notwithstanding, so ciety is on the side of the man who stands at Armageddon. It merely wants to know that there is no error in hip location, and that he hasn't stolen the livery of the Lord to serve the devil in. And inasmuch as we are all asked to take sides, that isn't an exorbitant demand. Some of us who say that we are standing at Armageddon are merely standing In our own backyards mak ing faces at the neighbors. Under the paranoiac delusion that we are fight ing the battles of righteousness, we persist in these physiognomical ex ercises until they produce ire and a shower of brickbats; after which we proclaim ourselves martyrs and say something about preferring to be right rather than victorious. But all the time the police know, that we have erred In asumlng that those who do not agree with us are unregenerate and fit only for targets. He whose cause is just may have trouble with his neighbors, but he isn't goin to have trouble with them all the time, neither is he going to dis agree with all of them. Those of us who are even approximately right havo our champions, providing we do not fro about seeking trouble. And whatever the turn of fate, we have our occasional victories. The mass of society rises up to defend the un der dog, provided he is not eternally snapping at the heels of bigger ca nines. If the under dog's notion of things corresponds with the abstract principles of justice, he finds himself presently the issue in a neighborhood, state or national dispute, according to the Importance of the particular prin ciple involved and the advertising abilities of those most intimately con cerned. For righteousness raises up its champions as honey draws flies. There are those who must go to defeat for a. just cause, but ninety-nine of every hundred who whine that they would ravher be right than victorious are likely to be neither.

THE EVENING STORY By the Cooper's Advice. (By John Philip Arth.) Ebenezer Schermerhorn was twen ty-eight years old when he went to work for Jonas White in the latter's i haadmhJi' IrVZtl iZ3 iS! had his boss bragging about his smartness. Mr. White's business was to make lumber of sawlogs, and he didn't look for mental smartness in his hired help. It was how much work a man could do in ten hours that counted with him. His wife judg ed men about the same way, but their daughter Sarah was a bit different. She had as fair an education as a vil lage school could give her, and while she realized that a man who could lift harrpl nf iisi.lt wab a mm a rt friar). nn 1 who could not only lift the barrel but name the capitals of all the states and give the length of the Mississippi riv er in addition was a good deal smarter. Sarah Jane heard much talk of Elben before she saw him, and she had time to wonder and speculate. Her father and mother were dropping hints that it was time she "stepped off," as they used to call it in other days. She wasn't looking to marry a millionaire nor a senator. A smart man was the best she could hope for. She couldn't be a girl and not have some romantic notions about her, but they never made her forget that she had bread in the oven or stockings to darn. Why was Eben Schermerhorn a bachelor? Had he loved and lost? Had he made a vow never to marry Had he never found the woman to stir up a heart interest under his left shoulder? "Very likely he could read, write and cipher, but was he fond of poetry? Could he appreciate gorgeous sunsets? Could he sing? Did he play the fid dle or the accordion, or stop short at the mouth organ? with her father bragging at the dinner table every day of what a smart man Eben was. and with her mother looking at her In a queer way, it was no wonder that Sarah Jane had thoughts. Bfben was to be Invited to dinner to make the acquaintance of the family. After two or three weeks the event came off. Eben ate with his fork. He did not drink from his saucer. He politely refused a second helping. His was a quiet, pleasant laugh, instead of a deep base ha! ha! He discussed politics with Mr. "White woman's rights with Mrs. "White and the new fashion in hats with Sarah Jane. Yes, he could sing a bit, and he be lieved he had played the cottage or gan. He had seen sunsets that were positively grand, and he had read Dickens while laid up with a broken leg. When laughed at by Mr. White as an old bachelor, he blushed and said he had always been too busy. Eben Schermerhorn made a good Im pression on the family. Mr. and Mrs. White said so right out as soon as he had departed, and Sarah went up to her room to think so. "Look here, ma," said the husband when they were left alone, "that Eben is a smart chap." "Seems like It," was the reply. "You ought to see him hump a saw log around!" "Yes?" "And you heard how smart he talk ed at the table." "He certainly did." "Bound to marry some day." "I think so." "So's our Sarah." "Yes." "What's the matter of of Eben and Sarah getting spliced? Can't we help the matter along somehow?" "No, Jonas "White, we can't. We ain't going to say one blessed word to help or hinder. If they like each oth er and fall in love and want to marry that's all right. If they don't then it's nothing to us. They are both old enough to know their own business." "But Etoen's a cracking smart feller and I guess he'd fit into this family all right-" "You never mind about the fit. I don't want you to say a word either way. If they decide to get married we shall be consulted. Mother bad gered me about my beaux till I was half crazy, and I say that Sarah Jane shall be let alone." Eben Schermerhorn continued to tw smart. After a little he took to drop ping in for an hour or two in the evening, and later on it might have been said that he came a-courting. He was always welcome, but it trans pired that he and Sarah Jane did not exactly understand each other. Within a few weeks they were in love, but neither dared own It. Eben was scared at the idea of being in love with the daughter of his boss, and the girl stood in awe of him because of hlf superior education and his greater knowledge of the world. It thus came about that their talk was simply friendly. W'hen things had been running along for six months, Eben found himself in a stew. He knew that he loved, but to save his neck he could not say that he was loved in return. This state of doubt made him miserable. A dozen times over he resolved to know the best or worst, and a dozen times j over he flinched when the pinch came. oaran jane naa quite lost ner heart, but she alone knew it. Her father and mother were following out a pro gram, and she could not go to them for advice. Cupid must have looke'l the ground over and had a good laugh. Just a word and all would be settled, but the word remained unspoken. Eben and the village cooper were great friends and had passed many evenings together. The cooper had no ticed things for some time, and at length one evening he shoved the checker-board aside, and said: "Eben, you are a fool!" "Guess I am." "You are also in love!" "Well?" "You are a fool because you dasa't let Sarah Jane know that you love ner!" "I own up." "And you are mooning around like a calf that has lost his mother. Why haven't you asked the girl plump out. long ago?" "I've been a-going to. but when I get ready to start in she changes the subject on me. That's the same as giving me to understand that she don't want to bear anything on the subject." "Hu! Eben, you're a fool!" "Why?" "Why, because you are an old bach and have got the cart before the horse. Sarah Jane White is ready to marry you at any time. Fine gal. Sarah Is. Make a mighty good wife." "But why don't she let me know she loves me?" protested Eben. "Because It ain't her place to until she knows your feelings toward her. Sarah Jane is rather of a quiet girl I believe?" !!far.nVre than tne average." Urn! Urn! I think we ought to startle her into betraying her emotions. Some gals have to be startled before they are dead-sure that they love." "But but ""Pf ten. Eben. Listen to a man that's naa three wives and courted seventeen gals that he didn't marry." And the two men put their heads to gether and whispered and nodded and chuckled and shook hands and said it would be sure to work.

"Didn't I tell you so!" chuckled the cooper next day. "Some gals has to be fed gumdrops and some has to be startled, and if you ask me which is the best way I must answer that I dunno." (Copyright, 1912, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) EVENING CHAT BT RTffH CiKBRON. A splendidly progressive, and alert young woman was telling her friends about a summer course in architecture which she had been taking. "How I wish I had time for some thing like that," sighed one of her listeners. "I've always been simply crazy about landscape gardening, and last spring I thought perhaps I'd take a course in it, but I simply couldn't rind the time." Now this lover of landscape garden ing is also a lover of embroidery. She was wearing at the moment a wonder ful lingerie gown fairly slathered with the most exquisite and intricate em broidery. She made it herself. She has more elaborately embroidered waists, gowns, lingerie and accessor' ies in her wardrobe than any girl I ever knew. And she does all the work herself. And yet she could not find the time to take a course of summer study which would have taken at the most twelve hours a week. Now please understand that I am not depreciating the way in which this girl spent her time. She had a per fect right to spend it as she chose, and who shall say that she was not quite as well occupied in employing her tal ent for producing exquisite handiwork as she would have been acquiring a smattering of Information about land scape gardening. But the point Is this she said she was "simply crazy" about landscape gardening. I ques tion the sincerity of her insanity. In other words, if she really wanted to take that course as much as she thought she wanted to, she could have found the time. "What a man wants that will he get," says Emerson, "or be changed in the trying." There Is far more everyday truth in that philosophy than we realize. Genuine, wholehearted wanting of anything is a tremendous leverage. Somehow or other we are likely to find time for the things we really and truly want. And when we say that we can't possibly do this or that or the other, despite the fact that we want to with all our hearts, we are likely to be deceiving ourselves. Desire, if it is strong enough, de velops abijity. One of the most happy-go-lucky, money careless girls I ever knew developed after her mar riage into an ultra-economical house wife. "With the eternal vigilance that is always the price of household econ omy she scrimps and saves and con trives, and manages to run her house on a record sum. Nor is this wonder ful change in character the result of j necessity: her husband earns a gen erous salary. It Is simply the result of her desire to have most of the mon ey for pretty clothes. When anyone says. "I have been longing to come and see you but I simply couldn't find the time. I've been so disappointed," I usually take the longing and the disappointment with a grain of salt. Most people get what thv want in this world, even the unselfish ones who live for others, because unless that was what thv really wanted the most, they wouldn t be that way. Or.lKEK fKTTTTTOVS.

One time when a fellow shouldn't try to keep ahead of the game Is when he go.s hunting. No, Maude, dear; politically speaking a president and a precedent are not synonymous.

"What must a man do before he can live at peace with all the world?" demanded the exhort er. "He must be dead," came a voice from the outskirts of the crowd. KANSAS COMMENT STATE LIFE INSURANCE. The state of Wisconsin has gone Into the life insurance business. The state will hereafter insure the lives of its citizens who are considered good risks. The clerks and treasurers in all coun ties, cities and towns, the state banks and the factory inspectors are insur ance agents. The law makes it their duty to receive applications and remit the premium. But they get no extra salary therefor. The state will write no policy In excess of $3,000, but it will write policies for $600 and permit the insured to pay yearly, semi-yearly, quarterly or monthly. The policy holder may be his own collector if he so desires and the state will allow him 1 per cent for sending in his premium. The state issues policies on the ordinary life plan, the ten-year endowment plan and en dowment at the age of 65. It also deals to some extent in "term insurance" and sells annuities by which a person can pay a certain amount at certain periods before he reaches the age of 60 and then draw a yearly "old age pension" after he passes 60. The experiment will be watched with great Interest by the rest of the world. It is easy to see how it may be a great expense to the state, but it will not be wise to predict its failure New movements sometimes suc ceed. Since it can be done without risk to us let us watch the experiment with open minds. Leavenworth Times. WORTH CONSIDERING.

One of the principal obstacles in this state has been a belief on the part of many that it is preferable to tax In come by state enactment, thus applying the revenue to needed improvements at home, and it Is due, perhaps to a divis ion on. that point among believers In in come tax legislation that Massachusetts It was three years ago last July that the has not been enrolled with the majority. Joint resolution proposing this amend ment was passed by congress and ap proved by the president. Whenever it shall have been ratified by 36 states all that will be required is a proclamation by the secretary of state to make the proposition valid as the 16th amendment, following which congress will be at lib erty to enact legislation accordingly. Springfield (Mass.) Union. THE PASSING OF MISERLINESS. When Mrs. George Cole of Carroll coun ty, Missouri, visited Kansas City several years ago, her brother, who was a clerk In a local hotel, did the honors for her. He took her to ths theater In a carriage. He also gave her a handsome bouquet of roses. For these extravagances. It Is said, both brother and sister were entire ly cut out of the will of their millionaire grandfather, Abner Whitely of Kansas City. Have our readers noticed how rare the episodes of this sort are becoming? In the last quarter of the nineteenth cen tury they were rather frequent. The sec ond generation was beginning then to spend the fortunes which the hard-shelled post-bellum financiers had accumulated. This entailed a great many protests from the aforesaid hard-shells and it was quite a common thing for the opposition to take the form which It seems to have taken In the Kansas City case. But such episodes are now rare. The hard-shells have become as tolerant spenders as the rest of the world. Chicago Post. HUMOR OF THE DAY "What's new in the news?" "Terrible scandal at Oldport.

An Ancient and Glorious Order. The Mason has seen great things and keeps great secrets. His order is the oldest in the world, the most honorable in existence. It dates beyond the wars of Du Gues clin, farther than the Crusades, as far back at the Master Mason 'who con structed the Temple of Solomon.

Miss Cousins appealed to the city in May, 1911. She was without funds and for several days had been living on bread and water, she said. The city aided her. She declared then that her depend ency was due to the failure of brew ing interests to make good their promise to settle on her an annuity of $3,600 for her work in campaign ing against prohibition. She has abandoned all political and reform activity in order to pay her entire attention to her realty. She owns 2,000 acres of land pur chased by her father in 1866 and re cently drained by the state. A large part of it is said to contain mineral deposits. Jury Says Fletcher Must Pay $500. A jury in the second division of the district court last night awarded Otto Boyd damages in the sum of $500 for an alleged assault with a shotgun by H. E. Fletcher. It is the third time that a jury has found that Fletcher shot the boy on Halloween night a year ago. Former damages in the sum of $100 and a conviction of assault in a criminal case constituted the results of former trials. Boyd, who is 16 years old and who is maintaining his suit in the name of his father, says h attempted to pass the Fletcher home in Shorey on Halloween night with a number of companioiiS when Fletcher rose from the grass on his lawn and fired point blank. More than a score of fine shot were taken out of Boyd's face and neck. Card of Thanks.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL NOVEMBER, 5, 1912 TOREK AIS CLEAN Waterworks Patrons Take S3,- 000 Baths a Week. This Doesn't Include Homes Without Water Service. FRANK STEVENS KNOWS ALL Assistant Water Superintend ent a Philosopher. Water Gauge Tells Him Stories l in Silent Code. They tell about Topeka being the most beautiful inland city in Ameri.a, they boast of her Industries, her pav ing, her sewerage, her parks, but at no time to the knowledge of the casual reader has the Commercial club spoken of Topeka as a city where the 50,000 Inhabitants use 21,000,000 gallons of water a week and one-tenth of it is used for bathing. Frank Stevens, assistant superinten dent of the city waterworks in Tope ka's unique philosopher. The trick of the little water gauge on the wall of his office tells him seasons, flowers, gardens, storms and showers. Frank Stevens, surrounded by clicking type writers cold, black, without melody adding machines unfeeling, shiny and glassily cold books piled high contain ing nothing but Inky figures despite this environment, this surrounding, Stevens can see sunshine, flowers, fire and calamity. His gauge tells him Are pressures. iWhen a fire Is serious the pressure lasts for hours. The gauge in sizzling' summer weather tells of open hydrants and baked lawns and flowers. In cold wintry weather It tells shivering pa trons never tempted by cool refreshing drinks or dashing shower baths. Basking in this glow of imagination, the assistant water superintendent, has figured out the relation between the human Topeka bodies and the water that comes from the deep wells along the Kvw river. Baths Taken in Topeka. According to the .figures on .Stevens, books, 6,300 patrons live In houses thai rest comfortably on the end of the threaded water service pipes in To peka. Again drawing conclusions from his years of experience In the depart ment as well as his domestic life, Stevens figures that the average family In Topeka takes 10 baths a week. Now for a little arithmatic Number of pat rons, 6,300; number of baths, 10. It may be against the rule to multiply baths by patrons but here goes it makes a total of 63,000 baths in Topeka each week. Again, tho use of the pencil. The average bath takes 35 gallons of wa ter. Multiply once more. Eureka! Topeka uses more than 22,000,000 gal ions of water weekly not weakly for bathing purposes. The daily con sumption of water is 3,000,000 gallons. The weekly consumption 21,000,000. Now we have it one-tenth the entire sup ply used in Topeka goes for bathing! Now let the Commercial club shriek! This is enough to attract every resi dent of the city of Boston and scare away every hobo that ever trodded the rails leading to the capital city. Think of it! 63.00 baths a week! And remem ber this includes only the patrons who take city water. Hundreds oi families In Topeka are not near the water mains. Frank Stevens could tell other stories of the use of water. He knows just how much water' Is used for the sprinkling of lawns in the summer and the watering of ferns and geraniums In the winter. He can tell you how much water you use to wash your face every morning, noon and night and whether that water is cold, luke warm Or hot. He has a wonderful in sight into the city's shiny white en ameled bath rooms this incomparable Frank-the-Peeper Stevens. That's what we are giving the people of Topeka and vicinity, about us.

Nov. 5. Horace Fogel will invoke the Sherman anti-trust law to maintain his executive office in the Philadelphia National Baseball club. His attitude has thrown a great scare into the promoters of organized base ball. A short time ago it was believed that Fogel would be driven out of organ ised baseball because of the antagonis tic sentiment which he started by criticizing the result of the National League competition. Fogel insinuated that the race had been fixed for the Giants to win the pennant. Proof of F"oeeI' hrMch fnltK smed to be forthcoming when Presi dent Lynch made his charges against the Quaker City magnate. When the first meeting to try Fogel was called he gained exemption by saying that he had not been notified of the charges preferred against him. He took refuge behind the league constitution in this respect. Xow he charges persecution and restraint of trade. It will be in teresting to know how organized base ball accepts this argument. Tom Lynch, president of the Na tional League, is in Pittsburg secur ing affidavits from newspaper men who heard Fogel descant upon Na tional League injustice. Lynch is trv ing to curb the power of Fogel and Charles Murphy, who represent syndi cate interests in the National League. Lynch has made this his campaign issue. It was rtimored locally yesterdav that a syndicate of New York capital ists had bid J300.0OO for the Philadel phia National franchise. Fogel is re ported to have scorned this offer and to have stood fast for the half million he asks. DRAMA AT MAJESTIC, Lively Play Well Staged and Well Acted. Melodrama at the Majestic thl3 week. Aha!

A series of street meetings that ended in a rally in a store building at Twelfth and Lincoln street last night concluded the county campaign in the interests of the Republican candidates. All of the meetings were well attend ed, good crowds gathering on the streets to hear various speakers talk about the local aspirants for office, and the store room on Lincoln street was packed with voters when the party reached there shortly before 10 o'clock. The meetings began about 8 o'clock with a meeting west of the transfer station on West Eighth avenue. An other meeting was held on East Sev enth near the avenue, another on East Sixth and another at the corner of East Fourth and Quincy streets. A trip to North Topeka availed 1'ttle, hardly anyone being found on the street there.

The tea given Monday afternoon by the Good Government club is said to be the largest party ever held in To Topeka. About 2,000 people called dur ing the hours of the tea, 2 to 6, and the company was representative of many seta and circles in and out of the so-called "social" life of the town. The ordinary limitations of a society affair were done away with, and the company was united in a common in terest that aims to lay a new stone in the foundation of the social struc ture, affecting all sorts and conditions ,of women, the "cabbage woman, the bridge-whist woman, and the culture club woman." The women of the club solicited pledges from some of the guests to help at the polls today by the distribution of cards and literature. and dozens of women offered their help for the last effort of the campaign. The Y. W. C. A. rooms, where the party was held, were attractively dec orated in flowers and foliage. The tea table had a centerpiece of white chrys anthemums and autumn decorations were used in the receiving rooms.

Although a German, madame speaks English correctly and insists she is an American citizen. A prominent writer said recently: "American audiences are In love with Mme. Schumann-Heink. She is so thoroughly democratic, kind hearted, and 95 per cent heart. Hence, her con cert tour is a series of ovations." Few musical, operatic or histrionic stars of continental Europe ever learn to speak really good English, no mat ter how frequent their professional tours of England and America may be. Two brilliant exceptions to this rule are the actress. Mme. Nazimova, and the greatest of all contralto singers, Mme. Schumann-Heink. Of the latter, the critic of the Evening Mail said: "The great prima donna justified her claim to' being an American citizen by her remarkable diction and pronuncia tion in the -roup of songs by American composers which she sang with evi dent zest and infinite beauty. She was in splendid form and the luscious quality and exquisite beauty of her voice justified the great enthusiam." Miss Mary Kerr will lecture on Japan tonight at 8 o'clock at the Y. W. C.

If this information is refused don't buy it. Some of the low grade baking powders are advertised, but the ingredients of the powders are .scrupulously concealed.

Sues Circus for Borrowed Money. Pittsburg, Kan., Nov. 5. Cole broth ers' circus is in Pittsburg awaiting the straightening of problem which must be threshed out in court. Frances "Vv'leland, a widow who lives at Stockton, Rooks county, Kan., is the plaintiff in the action in court. She says that the owners of the show owe her J1.600, which she lent them when they needed money to keep it go ing. The documents on file in court show that, instead of the Cole brothers, whose pictures cdorn windows in Pitts burg, the owners of the show are A. G. Campbell, of Fairbury, Neb., and iW. H.

Two hun dred and fifty instructors and stu dents from the Kansas State Normal will leave in a special train Thurs day morning for Topeka to attend the State Teachers' association. It is ex pected that this will be the biggest delegation at the meeting. The State Normal will have its headquarters in the First Presbyterian church, which will be open to all persons either con nected with the Normal school or in terested in its work. An information bureau will be established for the accommodation of all visitors. Friday evening a big reception will be held for all Normal students, alum ni and faculty in the church parlors, after which an all-school dinner will be held. Five hundred plates will be laid for the dinner. A number of State Normal instructors will have places on the program during the convention. GIRLS NOT 'SISSY' At Emporia They More Do Their Share. Than Support Athletic and Other Student Enterprises. Emporia. Kan., Nov. 6. Although the Kansas State normal is not ex clusively a schoolma'am institution, the preponderence of women students is noteworthy. Of the 1.193 students now enrolled in the normal, 802 are girls and 391 boys. Of the 802 girls, 358 are enrolled in the college department. 335 In the secondary school, and 109 in the training school. There are 112 men in the college, 163 in the second ary school, and 116 boys in the train ing school. Seventy-six per cent of the college students and 67 per cent of the secondary students are women. These figures show that there is a larger per cent of women In the college than In the secondary school. Three fourths of the students doing college work are women. This Is a condition which obtains in only a small number of co-educational institutions in the country. The women play a large part In school activities, not only in these matters in which the women are nat urally Interested, but in all phases of school life. Fifty per cent of the stud ent holders of athletic tickets are wo men, although the contests to which these tickets admit are participated in by men exclusively. Fifty-four per cent of the subscribers to the local school paper, the State Normal Bulle tin, are women. There are 165 women actively engag ed In T. M. O. A. work, and nearly 100 college women are active workers in literally and debating societies. The women of the school have a flourish ing equal suffrage league, and enthusi astic meetings are held. Among the other activities in which the women are engaged are basketball, tennis, soccer, baseball and cross ball. traction was an address bv Prof. Ray mond Schwagler,' of the University of xiansas who spoke on "Conditions in Modern Germany."

A sec ondary school of agriculture, median ic arts and home economics is to be established at the Kansas Agricultural college next fall. The courses are now belne- nrprjiraH Thia action was ae cided upon in the meeting of the board of regents. It will require three years to complete the studies in this sec ondary school. This means that the subfreshman course will h aholished. The secon darv school will fit men for the farm and industries, and the women for the home. It will not be a preparatory school for the Kansas Agricultural college but it will have its especial function in preparing men and women for everyday life. A fourth or inter mediate year is provided between the two and allows those who have com pleted the course In the secondary school to continue their studies in the college. This nlan ha. been highly success ful for 25 years in Minnesota and also in Colorado and Wisconsin. "It will hriTir tVio nnlloiro r-loser to the people, said President Waters, "and enable it tn BPnrp tho industries better man heretofore. It puts the college upon a standard equal to any, aim everv diulnma worth one hundred cents on the dollar." Want to Study Nursing? Kansas girls now have an oppor- Burns Self, Daughter Death. and Son to Osawatomie, Kan., Nov. 5. Mrs. G. W. Perdue, 35 years old, wife of railroad conductor, and her six- months-old daughter were burned to death in a shed in the rear of the Perdue home and a five-year-old son did not survive his injuries. Mystery surround the fire. When the firemen arrived the door was found to be blocked. Mrs. Perdue was an invalid. The boy died tonight. A. note Mrs. Perdue had written to a neighbor, which was turned over to the coro ner, indicated that Mrs. Perdue was responsible for the death of herself and two children. In the note she re quested that the three bodies be buried in one grave. The bodies were found in a box and it is be lieved that the woman saturated the box with coal oil, climbed into it with the children and then applied a match to it. It is probable that a sudden fit of insanity prompted the act. tunity to prepare themselves as nurses within their rwn state. The University of Kansas announces a training school for the profession conducted in con nection with the institution's Bell Me morial hospital at Rosedale. Twenty young women have already registered for the course. The course begins October 1 and ends June 1 of each year, but students are admitted at any time when there is a vacancy. The students are required to spend a probationary period of three months in the school, during which they receive board, laundry and lodg ing, but no other compensation. For the remainder of the course, an allow ance of $7 a month is given by the hospital to cover the expense of uni forms, books and instruments.- If ac cepted as pupil nurses at the end of 4 this probationary period, the students i 1 1 1 1 l. r v T j plete course of two and one-half years, unless dismissed for misdemeanor.

Albert Dickens, head of the hor ticultural department of the Kansas Agricultural college, are removing their tomato vines, potato vines and corn stalks and either putting them in a comnost heap or burning them. Burning them is the quickest and most sanitary way of getting rid of this trash but where humus is scarce it should be piled up in a corner of the garden and allowed to rot when it will be in shape to spread over the r, -1- eraraen in ine butujk.

But in a small town garden the com nost heap is not particularly desira ble. With the ground cleared, a ton or two of well rotted manure should be spread over a plot fifty feet square. The ground then should be plowed. Ground well plowed in the fall will hold moisture better. Freezing will unlock some of the stored plant food and the plot is ready to be worked the first warm days of early spring. There are some gardens that should not be plowed in the fall because of the tendency of the soil to blow. Blowing is less likely to occur In ground left rough but such soils may well have a good, heavy mulch of coarse manure and the coarse parts raked off before the garden is planted in the spring. Fall plowing also is helpful in clearing up an ugly back door landscape. Institute at Wakarosa. Once more the farmers' institute season is on, and the people of Kansas are busy planning meetings. The Agricultural college supervises the work, assists in dating the institutes, and co-operates with the various local and county organizations in preparing programs which shall be interesting and helpful. The institutes now num ber almost four hundred organizations, with a membership of more than six teen thousand. They are becoming splendid conferences of business farm ers and are a tremendous force for the upbuilding of agriculture. The insti tute at Wakarusa will be held on No vember 22 and 23, and Mr. W. S. Gear hart, state highway engineer, and one other speaker not yet decided upon from the Agricultural college will be present.- Accidentally Kills Sweetheart. Pittsburg, Kan., Nov. 5. Lonie Leroy 18 years old, was to have married Horace Demoy on Christmas day at their home at Skidmore, but he ac cidentally shot and killed her. Demoy had been hunting. As he was returning to .is home he stopped at the Le.-oy home for a chat with his sweet heart. It was an automatic gun that he left at the Leroy home after he had re moved some of the shells. Although he thought all had been removed one re mained. When he picked up the gun his sweetheart was near him laughing right at the end of the barrel and then the gun exploded. The girl lived but a J few moments. i Farmers to Organize Under New Plan. Johnson, Kan., Nov. 5. Finley Tin ger, a prominent rancher near here, has proposed a farmers' co-operative association for Stanton county which will force the members to stick by each other, thus evading the weakness of most farmers' unions. He propose that members list with a manager all marketable products, agreeing in writ ing not to sell them till called on by the association. The manager is to watch the market and ship at oppor tune times, calling on the members for such products as he thinks advisable. BEV7ARE0F B. HUG Officer's Dainty Pardner Causes Social Exile for 30 Days. His Feet Naturally Fell Step With Hers. Into Leavenworth, Kan., Nov. 6. Indulge once in the mazes, hazes and crazes of the "bunny hug" and the "turkey trot," and never after will your feet be have. But the unbroken routine of army life for 30 days and the corresponding absence from the white lights of Kan sas City and the stiff breezes that blow over the Country club golf links is being administered to Lieutenant Stanley Wood at Fort Leavenworth in the hopes of effecting a cure. At the fort strict ban is put upon all dances bearing titles derived from the animal world. Lieutenant Wood danced with a dainty maid from Leavenworth, who had fallen under the spell of the "bunny hug." What more natural than that the officer should fall into step? But how unfortunate that the eye of a commanding officer should stray across the dance floor and fix upon the feet of the couple. Result: Thirty days social banish ment for the lieutenant. Aeroplane Experiments Successful. Junction City, Kan., Nov. 6. A suc cessful aeroplane artillery test was conducted during the war depart ment's aeroplane maneuvers here. Battery E, Sixth field artillery. Lieu tenant Palmer commanding, was sta tioned on the side of a hill. An im aginary enemy was placed on the other side.

Luther Spainhauer, an old bachelor who re sided at Wolcott, was burned to death in his home there. Three hours after the fire was discovered the charred body of the old man was found in the ruins of his home. Neighbors say that they saw Spainhauer moving about in side his house shortly before the fire was discovered. When the fire was discovered neighbors started a search for the old man, believing that he might have escaped and wandered away. It is oenevea Dy me resiaenis of Wolcott that Spainhauer set fire to the house and deliberately perished in the flames. The body was found near the spot where his bed had stood. Spainhauer was 65 years old and so far as is known, had no relatives in this vicinity. Codding Wants School Film. Emporia, Kan., Nov. 5. J. K. Cod ding, superintendent at the peniten tiary at Lansing, has asked that the motion picture film, portraying stu dent life at the Kansas State Nor mal, be run at the institution for the benefit of the inmates. The film. which was taken last spring, shows every phase of life at the big teacher factory, and Superintendent Codding was anxious that the men in the penal institution be shown the picture as an incentive to a higher life. The film will be sent to the penitentiary immediately. Holds Record for Profit. Johnson, Kan., Nov. 5. L. D. Rorick, Stanton county planter, holds the record for high profits in this section.

The present congress has passed a law abolishing the eighteen pension agencies and moving them all to Washington. "Their idea is, of course, to save expense," explained "Farmer" Smith. "The thirty clerks in Topeka are hoping to be sent to Washington: otherwise they will be absolutely out and the men are worried, of course. The sacrifice of thirty homes is no small thing."
