V J INCREASE IN ENTIRE COUNTY Shawnee Inhabited by Little Less Than 70,000. Estimates Based on Personal Property Returns. An increase of something like 5,000 in the population of Shawnee county, more than 4,000 of which is in the city of Topeka, is estimated by County Assessor Samuel H. Haynes from fig ures he has in his office. The asses sor, however, depends more upon the new personal property tax statements he has secured than upon the returns from his deputy assessors, the latter being admittedly inaccurate. The as sessors have so many more important matters on hand in the assessment of property that they are prone to miss population figures. Last year Topeka's population was shown to be 4 6,385. This year the population should run, therefore, above the 50,000 mark, and Mr. Haynes is quite sure such is the case. The population of the county last year was 64,225. This year, if Mr. Haynes' estimates are correct, the population should run close to 70,000. The estimates are based upon the new personal property statements brought in this year, which are be lieved to show better than the asses sors' returns as to population the number of people who live in the county. Multiplying the number of such statements by two, which is con sidered decidedly conservative, the estimated increase in population is reached. Population of Townships. The following table shows the popu lation last year and the estimated population this year with the increase by townships. The figures show that Shawnee county has an urban popula tion of about 54.000 with approximate ly 16.000 suburban residents: "Township V.1. 19in. Inc.

The temperature at 2 o'clock this af ternoon was dangerously near the 100 degree mark at Topeka .and reports o excessive heat have been received from oil sections of the state. Previous heat records for the month of May have been broken at Topeka; aiu". thermome ter registered 98 degrees at 1:35 o'clock. The temperatures are averaging 15 de grees above normal for this date and six degrees above the midsummer av erage. Slight relief from the heat is promised In the northern portion of the state tonight, but Friday the mercury is ex pected to soar to a point nearly as high es that reached today. However, the weather map shows that cool weather Is on the way and may arrive by tbe end of the week. The forecast calls for "generally" fnir weather for tonight and Friday. This admits of the possibility of scat tered showers in Kansas. The heat is causing much dcrr.age to the wheat in the south-centra' and the western portions of Kansas. The wheat Is beginning to suffer and likewise the spring crops. Locally a rain would be n help, but thus far no rp.l damage has been done.

This was the hottest day of the Reason here, the mercury registering 90 degrees at 1 o'clock at the govern ment station twelve stories above the Btreet. Hutchinson, Kan., May 29. At 1 o'clock this afternoon the temperature was 104 degrees in the shade in Hutchinson, seven degrees hotter than at any other May day on record at the local government station. NO SENATE ICE WATER Washington, May 29. Economy the fetich of the administration, has iiiL me aeimus lec waiti iauK. i ney Ice, they must pay for it as well as for something to keep it in. No one around the senate wing of the capitol will disclose the source of the order, but the fact remains that when the. senators arrived at their offices yes terday, the various brands of spring water with their cooling apparatus had been removed. Neither was there any in the senate chamber or cloak rooms. There are water taps in every room, but Potomac water is neither cool nor palatable. V iijV,?4 f:'7 M Dr. Ensebia A. Morales. When the republic was first orga nized he was sent to Europe to arrange for its recognition. He returned to be made minister of public instruction. After that he was made secretary of state, and now is representing his country here. Dr. Morales is about fifty years old, is married and has six children. The family are still in Panama, with the exception of one son, who is attending school here. Senora Morales and the family are to come to Washington next winter. GIFT TO WASHBURN College Receives $50,000 From Andrew Carnegie. Completes Addition of $250,000 to Endowment. The last $50,000 of a quarter of a mil lion dollar addition to the endowment funds of Washburn college has bei-n received by Frank K. Sanders, presi dent of the college, from the Carn.;gie Corporation of New York. The entire fund with the exception of the Car negie gift was contributed by Kansans largely Topekans. More than a year ago an application was made for the $50,000, but owing to a misunderstanding in the agreement it was necessary to raise "several addi tional thousands. The last few hun dred dollars came in slowly. The final application papers were drawn up in such a manner by J. Willis Gleed that Mr. Bertram, the private secretary to Andrew Carnegie was con vinced that all conditions of the agree ment whereby Washburn was to re ceive the $50,ono gift had been fulfilled. The details of the proposition have been exploited in the State Journal. Suffice it to remark that the Carnegie gift will go far towards assuring the permancy of an institution of which Topeka may well be proud and which is one of the big assets of the capital city. ABSOLVED FROM BLAME Washington Police Cleared of Charges of Suffragists. Washington, May 29. Superintendent Sylvester and the Washington police are absolved from blame for the dis orders which attended the woman suf frage pageant on March 3. The report of the senate committee which inves tigated the affair was presented to the senate today. The immense crowd that nocked to AVashington for the inauguration and the fact that street cars were permitted to operate along the line of march up to the last moment, were charged w:th being principally responsible. The police were generally praised for their efforts to give the marchers a clear path. The marchers were virtually swamp ed by the crowd. Many of the women testified before the committee that Lhey were insulted, manhandled and spat upon in sight of police officers who gave them no aid. Others who swore they were eyewitnesses of the proces sion testified that they saw no dis order. The committee held that while some of the uniformed and some special policemen acted "with apparent indif ference and made little attempt to check the crowds the whole force could not be discredited." and added that there was not sufficient proof upon which to single out any particular in dividual for reproof or condemnation. Chief Sylvester was exonerated of "hostility" to the suffragists and their parade. KILLED EMPLOYER. H. D. Nichols of Garnett Shot by Farm Hand With Pistol. Garnett. Kan.. May 29. H. D.

The President Also in Accord With That View. Washington. May 29. Senator Sim mons, chairman of the finance commit tee, definitely announced after a con ferenca with President Wilson today that the proposed 5 per cent differential on imports in American owned or con trolled vessels would be dropped from the tariff bill in the senate on account of protests from foreign nations. Senator Simmons also declared that objections of foreign nations to the clause to compel merchants to submit their books to an American agent in cases of disputed valuation would be met. In both cases the state depart ment holds that protests are justified. The president upnem tnat view. Chairman Simmons also took up with trient miestions of eaualization of duty on raw materials and manufac tured products, among them wneai, flour and pig iron. Mr. Simmons de clined to discuss the president's views on those points, saying no decision had been reached but that he had sought Mr. Wilson's ideas and would trans mit them to members of the finance committee. Chairman Underwood, of the ways and means committee, when asked about the probable action of the house ck,.,, the tariff hill mme back with an amendment to eliminate the 5 per cent clause said that personally no favored the retention of the provis ion as one of the ways of building up a merchant marine. "I believe in discrimination in favor of American ships," he said. "Foreign nations discriminate in favor of their shirs and I do not see why we should not." Mr. Underwood did not indicate lrl be anv effort to retain tbe nrovision if the administra tion raised strong objection. Senators on the subcommittee or ins flnanco mmmHtpp wnrkine on the cot- orioiiiio nf the Underwood bill are said to be ready to recommend some increase in- the house rates. More man a hundred witnesses from the Xew rnciand utiH southern cotton sections are reported to have favorably impress ed the senators witn tneir arguments that some of the cuts were too great. The committee also is expectea t recommend some changes in the chemi. cal schedule among them to be the free listing of certain dyes used in the man ufacture of cotton which the house bill has included In the dutiable list. Sen ator Stone's subcommittee still is work ing over the wool and metal schedules. Few changes are looked for in woolen manufactures. Some reductions are known to have been decided upon in the steel schedule. Structural steel will be reduced. ALLlJNDER WATER The Railroad Yards at Su perior, Wis., Are Flooded.

The State Xormal school dormitory occupied by 75 young women students was cut off by water and its occu pants were marooned until rafts were built to ferry them across to dry land. Houses were isolated by water and the inhabitants were reached by rafts. The ball park of the Superior North ern League was several feet under water. SNOW FOR DESSERT. Chemical Club of Harvard Will Serve Them at Banquet. Cambridge, May 29. To reduce the cost of living, serve snowballs for desert. The novelty may be employed in midsummer by the addition of a chemical laboratory to the kitchen and application to the Boylstone chemical club of Harvard university for the re cipe. At a banquet of the club next month the wintry weapons of small boys will be tried for desert. Students in chem istry have engaged to make them in the university laboratory and turn them over to the caterers to be flavor ed and served instead of expensive ices and sherbets. The senior class is also said to be considering making snowballs in June in order to have a snowball fight to take the place of the usual class rush or the confetti battle at the stadium.

Walter DeMumm of Paris, who is to be married to Frances Scovell of Seneca, Kansas, on June 2, arrived here today. DeMumm. whose name is known wherever champagne is drunk, said that more champagne was being drunk in America than ever before and this indicated to him that the country was in an excellent condition. Mr. DeMumm said that the prospects for the coming vintage were not the most encouraging, but it was a little early to make a definite prophecy. "One hears more about the cham pagne they are making in western America," said DeMumm. "There are those who say it equals the best that comes from Epernay. Personally, I have my doubts, for .after all, it is a question of grapes ancfc climatic condi tions, and even the best friend of American wine must admit that we have both in superior quality in France. Miss Frances ScoviUe of Seneca, Kan., Who Will Marry Baron Walter De Mumm, Champagne King of France. "Europe is not drinking the cham pagne she did. I mean the quantity. Just why is difficult to say, unless it is that money is tight here. Perhaps the Balkan war and consequent de pression had something to do with it. The champagne market is the best barometer in the world of financial conditions. The sale of champagne is the first thing affected by a money stringency. Miss Frances Scoville of Kansas, who is to be married to Walter DeMunn in London on June 2, today described a portion of her $25,000 trousseau which she recently purchased in Paris. The wedding dress is of white silk brocade with a small silver thread run ning through it and a long train with a long panel of real old lace. Anion;? her favorite evening gowns is one of red tussor cloth with a heavy beaded top, another of citronelle color with a silver and chiffon orevrdress, while a third is of white chiffon with small er mine bands. Each evening gown has a coat to match. The choicest afternoon gowns include one of the new Coltle cloth with a pleated pannier. Another is of tan chiffon cloth with Valenciennes and tulle waist and a large blue sash. The tailored suits include one of blue serge with a short coat trimmed with red buttons. Also one of white corduroy, the coat being fashioned in the shape of a Norfolk jacket. The tea gowns are all of soft chiffon in soft colors such as light yellow and very light mauve.

I For the Victors to Fight Out Among Themselves The Question of a Division of the Spoils. London, May 29. It is practically cer tain that the treaty of peace between the Balkans and Turkey Is to be signed at the British foreign office by the peace delegates of the various states concerned tomorrow. Bulgaria nnd Tur key have both definitely decided to sign the document in deference to the wishes of Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary and there is little doubt that the other three allies, Ser via, Greece and Montenegro will do likewise. Greece and Servia desire to add a protocol to the treaty as drafted by the European powers dealing with the question of amnesty and the conven tions to be negotiated after peace shall have been concluded. Bulgaria, how ever, objects to the addition of this protocol as she regards it as likely to leave the door open for further discus sion and she has determined to sign the treaty of peace with Turkey with out any more delay and so to clear the field for the very negotiations she will have to undertake with her allies over the division of the spoils of vic tory. In Sofia the speech made by the Ser vian premier yesterday in the parlia ment at Belgrade, when he explained that Servia desired a modification of the treaty with Bulgaria regarding the di vision of territory, is believed to have destroyed the hope of a peaceful set tlement of the Servian and Bulgarian dispute. The principal Servian peace delegate in London at r.oon today receive a dis patch from his government authoriz ing him to sign the preliminary treaty of peace with Turkey.

AYRES TOAPPEAL Will Ask President to Recall Appointment of Robertson. Wichita Claims Thompson Has Broken Promises. Wichita, Kan., May 29. Senator W. H. Thompson has stirred up a hornet's nest of censure In this county by his announced intention of appointing State Senator Fred Robertson, of At wood, as United States district attor ney to succeed H. J. Bone, present in cumbent. By selecting the Atwood Democrat for this $4,500 a year job. Wichita Democrats claim that Thomp son has violated his word given here during a Masonic reunion last fall. Wichita had a candidate for the of fice in the person of W. A. Ayres. a Democrat of long standing and a power locally. Mr. Ayres was twice elected county attorney in a Republican county, and he has a strong following in south ern Kansas. That Thompson recogniz ed this was evidenced when he offered to appoint Mr. Ayres the first deputy. Of course Ayres refused and it is said will go over Thompson's head. Henderson Martin, of Marion, chair man, was a candidate for this office. When he was appointed chairman of the state utilities commission it is as serted here that he pledged his support to Mr. Ayres. This attitude on the part of Mr. Mar tin is said to have been fatal to Mr. Ayres, as there is an, open breach be tween Mr. Martin and the senator from Garden City. Martin fought Senator Thompson's recommendation that Capt, J. H. Shields be appointed postmaster in Wichita. The postmaster fight is still on. Both Captain Shields and Mr. Jacques, chair man of the local Democratic organiza tion, claim to have the best of it. Now the fight for United States dis trict attorney is going to be another Wichita postoffice fight all over again. It is said that a strong delegation of Kansas Democrats is planning to go to Washington to protest against Robert son being named. An attempt will be made to get Henderson Martin to lead the delegation which aims to go directly to the president. THIEVES TAP A BARREL Bore Hole Through the Floor of a Depot Building. Tomah, Wis., May 29. Contents of a 36-gallon barrel of whisky which arrived here late yesterdp.y and wit stored in the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul depot over night have disap peared through on unusual theft.

IN CUSTODY OF POLICE MATRON Girl Said Mrs. Sare Had Knowl edge of Actions. Officers Cates and Saunders Mentioned in Testimony. Testimony implicating former ChieJ of Police Morriss Jenkins, at least two former officers, and Mrs. Delia A. Sare. former police matron, was given bj Anna Minter, a little 16-year-old waifj at the preliminary hearing of W. J Davis, charged with violations of th White Slave law, this morning. Th little waif declared she had had im- mmoral relations with the former chleff and with Police Officers Jesse Cates anct E. G. Saunders, with the knowledge!' and tacit consent of Mrs. Sare. Suctt relations were renewed and continued over a considerable period of tlm while she was in the charge and cus-. tody of Mrs. Sare, the girl said. Sometimes, when she had been out late with one of the men, Mrs. Sarot would scold her a little, she said, and warn her to be careful. But there wajr nothing beyond that. She declared Mrs.' Sare consented to her making dates' with the police officers, and she named: the officers with whom she went andl, told all the details in connection wittk' such excursions. The last time she was with Jenkins, she said, was two days beforo he lefft the police force. Several tiroes she de-. clared she went with officers to a house at 602 East Fifth street, which house is alleged to have been operated by Davis. Saunders and Cates, who are impli cated in the testimony of the girl, suddenly resigned from the police force about a week ago. At the tlmei their resignations were handed in, Chief J. W F. Hughes refused to say that he was thinking of preferring charges against them, merely an nouncing that they had left the force, to take up other work. The testimony this morning came like a thunderbolt. The girl was not shaken at all in her testimony, prov ing herself good in remembering ttmea and places, and vowing she could not be mistaken in her charges against the former police officers. The testi mony, however, did not connect Davis up with any violations of the white slave law at the address given, 428 Jefferson street, referring only to the other number of East Fifth street. He was discharged from the charge against him only to be re-arrested charged with similar offenses at 508 East Fifth street. No action has been taken by Coun ty Attorney William H. Atchison on the information received relative ta the former police officers and none may be taken. HODGES ON A HUNT. Governor Will Spend Vacation 111 Canadian Woods. Accompanied by his brother, FranK Hodges of Olathe, and Dr. A. H. Oor dier of Kansas City, Governor Hodges) plans to spend his vacation on a big game hunt near Bathurst, New Bruns- iwck, Canada. The trip will be made in September. It is probable that the governor will i remain in Topeka the greater portion of the summer and will leave in Sep-, tember for a month's hunting alone the St. Lawrence. Bathurst, where the hunt will start, is on Bay Chaleur, an arm of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is a wild country and moose, caribou. deer and black bear abound there. The river Nepisiguit, which flows into the bay at Bathurst, also provides good salmon fishing. Doctor Cordier. who will accompany? the governor and his brother on the; trip, is known throughout the country as a hunter of big game and is author, of several books on game. He haa killed moose in New Brunswick, bears' in the Aleutian Isles and mountain.' sheep in Alaska. Once, several years ago.

2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAIr THURSDAY EVENING-MAY 29. 1913- RAILR0AD NEWS Future of Frisco Railway an Interesting Problem. Some Financiers Think Strong System Will Buy It. SANTA FE IS MENTIONED Big Kansas Line May A Hare Eye on St. Louis. Ko Motor Car Serrlce on Atchi son Line. 'T Rt 1.01113. Mav 29. The future of the IFrisco railroad Is a question of great In terest in St. Louis, wwcn is tne nome of the company. The opinion prevails that there will be a reorganization by those who have been in control of the property, although there are other .views. Men who look far into such problems express the belief that some strong' railway system like the Pennsyl vania which wants a foothold in the west, or the Santa Ke, which, it Is -said, has had an eye on St;. Louis a--long time, will buy the Frisco. No author ized talk Is heard In that direction, but It is a prediction which gives St. Louis people food for thought. There has been much speculation n the last few years about possible plans Of the Santa Fe to reach St. Louis. New Orleans and other southern territory toward the east, and this realization inay be through the Frisco receiver ship. Santa Fe officials have never af firmed or denied the report that they expect to reach out for business in that section. This, however, does not mean much, for Santa Fe officials do not talk till they get ready to act. Santa Fe officials In Tbpeka say they have heard nothing about the re port from St. Louis. Reliable news of that character, they say, would come from Chicago, headquarters of the ex ecutive officers. PRESIDENT RIPLEY HOPEFUL. Bees Signs of Letup In Fight Against Railroads. Chicago, May 29. E. P. Ripley, president of the Atchison. Topeka Santa Fe railroad, is distrustful of the country's political future. There are certain signs which make him hopeful that the headlong course will be stopped, but he is far from sure. The house and senate, in his view, are dangerously radical. President Wilson, to him, is as yet an unknown quantity. The one compensating fac tor In Washington, he believes, is that the interstate commerce commission is less threatening than It was, say, a year ago. Mr. Ripley returned from California yesterday and went direct to his home in Riverside. Tne presiaent 01 me Santa Fe is gradually recovering from an acute attack of Indigestion, which ccurred seven weeks ago in Cali fornia. "I suppose I have unwittingly ac quired the reputation of being a pes simist, Mr. Ripley said. "I am per fectly conscious of not agreeing with the majority of people, .who elect leg islators, but long experience as a rail road man and as an observer of politi cal tendencies Impels me to say that the United States of today, In Its gen eral political aspect, that Is to say, in its political trend, is not at all what the founders of this country Intended. '"I believe the appropriation bill for funds for the prosecution of trusts passed by the house and senate Is ex tremely bad legislation. A measure that provides for a prosecution of one class In a community and ab solves another class is tinged with demagoglsm. The measure, in effect, was vetoed by Taft. Wilson will give us a, better idea of his statesmanship ;when the bill comes to him." i ATCHISON SERVICE GOOD. 4Santa Fe Does Not Contemplate Motor Service to St. Joe. The Atchison Champion yesterday printed this paragraph: "Will the Santa Fe establish motor car service on Its line between Atchison and To peka, and Atchison and St. Joseph? Those who have been watching the movements of the traffic end of the road lately profess to believe it will." Advice from the Santa Fe .general .officers here Is that the company does .not contemplate the service mention fed. The Santa Fe now has two pas teen ger trains daily each way between Topeka and St. JOBeph, which take icare of the traffic. These trains carry choppers to and from the three towns i named, with abundance of time for I trading purposes. "The present service Is entirely sat i isf actory to the traveling public and to the merchants of the towns," a Santa Fe official said, when asked ifibout the story. A DEMONSTRATION TRAIN ECHO. 'Oolonel Savage Has Request' for Pic ture of Funons Ootflt, i s i Colonel F. S. Savage,- advertising Bgent of the Santa Fe railway yester day received a request from a student In Virginia for a picture of the Santa Fe's famous demonstration train, which ran over the system two years ago. The train was one of the greatest exploitation stunts ever pulled off in any country. More than 2000 col umns of newspaper notices were print ed about the train, and it was esti mated that 1,500,000 people saw It. The Santa Fe gave away 750,000 sou venir pictures of the train," and the supply was practically exhausted a year ago. However, Colonel Savage managed to dig up a copy for his Vir ginia correspondent. The Santa Fe ran the demonstration train to show the progress of railroad ing in thirty years. USE COPPER IN STEEL RAILS. Engineers Believe New Metal Adds Life to Steel. Chicago, May 29. Use of copper in' steel rails is causing increasing in terest on the part of engineers of some of the larger railroads because of the alleged life increase given to steel rails when they contain a small percentage of the metal. If, as now seems probable, big railroad systems find after exhaustive tests that a steel rail containing a copper alloy out lasts the pure steel rail, it may mean a new use for copper has been dis covered, in the development of which a- large tonnage will be employed. The St. Paul in the current year has had 5,000 tons of Bessemer steel rail treated with a- 6- per cent copper alloy. The experiment was based on the performance of rails made from Cornwall ores, which carry a small percentage of copper. The rails made from these ores showed unusual toughness and resistance to wear, and it was on this account that the ex periment was undertaken. HAS STRONG CASE, (Continued from Page One.)

XToTnnetti. Mav 29. Principals in the case of Theodore Roosevelt suing George A. Newett for libel and also Ronrn Shiras. Colonel Roosevelt s host here, are receiving scores of let ters every day owing to the promi nence given the case in the newspa- PeTliose to Mr. Shiras are mostly beg ging letters probably inspired by pic tures of his big home here. One of them asked him for money to pay an installment on a farm. Those to Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Newett for the most n rr advice as to how the case should be conducted. Additional witnesses for the plaintiff were heard today. Tomorrow, Memorial day, will be observed as a holiday. Colonel Roosevelt has under consiaerauuu pressing invitation to address the vet erans. Charles Willis Thompson oi new York, for nine years a wasningion correspondent and since 1908, a po litical writer for a New York newspa per, testified at the opening of court. "As Washington correspondent, he said "I used to go to the White House to see Mr. Roosevelt. i saw mm usually alone, sometimes in the morn ing and sometimes m tne aueruuuu, iiaimllv in his office, but sometimes while lying in the barber's chair. "I have never delected tne ouur m liquor on his brentn. never saw nun in the slightest degree under the in fluence of liauor and never saw ma manner in any way changed from its ordinary one. On Trips witn mm. "Ever go on any trips with him?" t was with him on his 11,000 mile pwing around the circle last year, which lustnd a month. I afterward Joined him at the Mercy hospital, Chicago, when he was shot, stayed tnere until ne went to Oyster Bay. I went tnere witn mm and stayed until election. Two weeks after ho was shot in Milwaukee he went to New York on two occasions to ad dress large mass meetings, and I went with him and reported tnem. 'On these trips did you see mucn of him?" "I saw him constantly, all hours of the day and night, and never saw him take a drink of liquor or affected by it. Whenever he left the car, I ionow ed him." "Did you ever see him take a drinks "Only at dinners of the Gridiron club, when he had a glass of champagne In front of him. He would occasionally take a sip from it. Nearly all the time, though, he was too busy talking or watching the stunts iperformed by the Grldtroners. He always made a speech on these occasions and they were among the best he ever made. He al ways left the dinners when they were about half over to go back to the White House to his work." Asked whether there had been any discussion of his drinking habits, the witness replied: "I never heard it discussed during the seven years that he was there, if It was discussed it must have been outside of Washington and it was my business to know every rumor that was floating around in that city. "It was what I was there for." "Could he have got drunk on the train without your knowing it?" "He could not even have been slightly affected by liquor without my knowing it, either on the trip or at Oyster Bay." The witness testified that on the trip to San Francisco the railroad company by orders of the colonel's representa tives did not put the usual stock of liquor aboard the private car. He Never Used Big D. The newspaper man' testified during the interviews with the former presi dent they would sit side by side or if standing the former president would put a hand on his shoulder. Mr. Pound asked him if Col. Roosevelt ever used profanity. "Never." "Did he ever use obscene language?" "No one would dare to utter an ob scene word In his presence." On cross-examination Attorney Bel den developed the fact that on the campaign trips the newspaper men us ually occupied a car just ahead of the plaintiff. This was adduced in connection with Mr. Thompson's statement that he had never seen the plaintiff drink liquor "Do you know if the plaintiff keeps a stock of liquor at his house?" "A stock of liquor is always kept at the White House by every "I mean his own home," interrupted the lawyer. "As to that I don't know." Andrew W. Avery, Ironton, Ohio, a former coal miner and later a locomo tive fireman described a trip he made with Col. Roosevelt up Lookout Moun tain at Chattanooga, Tenn., In Octo ber 1902. The witness said he became ac quainted with the colonel at the con vention of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Firemen at Chattanooga. Later he met him at Huntington, W. Va. "How was it you came to go up the mountain?" "The colonel was starting up and as we were talking to him, he said, 'Boys, come along.' "You walked about the top of the mountain with him?" "Yea" "Did you observe whether or not he had been drinking liquor?" "I knew he had not been drinking." Avery said the colonel addressed the Locomotive Firemen's convention at Huntington and was not under the in fluence of liquor. The witness said as a member of the reception committee he accom panied the colonel's train from Ironton to Portsmouth. Ohio. Beall to Brewers. Cleveland, O., May 29. The release of Outfielder Jack Beall to the Mil waukee club of the American Associa tion is announced.

Place Thompson In Good Standing in Kansas. VOTE FOR DUTY ON THE FLOOR Then in Conference Increase Will Be RemoYed. Other Items of Interest From National Capital. Washington, May 29. Plans to let re calcitrant Democratic senators down easy on the wool and sugar schedules are being worked out among the sen ate leaders. They will be followed if the pressure for duties on those ar ticles becomes too Intense. Briefly, these plans amount to a de sign to save the faces of certain west ern senators (Senator William Howard Thompson of Kansas included) witn their constituents. They will not af fect the form of the bill as finally pa ssed. If need be, certain Democrats will be allowed to vote in the senate for amendments to the wool and "sugar schedules imposing a 15 per cent duty on raw wool and omitting the throe year limitation as to imposition of a duty on sugar. The bill will then go to conference. In conference the increases will be stricken out. When the bill returns to the senate from conference, and it is put up to Democrats to vote the conference 'e port as a whole up or down, then it Is expected that all the Democratic senators will line up for it, but the two from Louisiana. This plan would get some of the western senators partially out of a tight hole. They would be able to say to their constituents that they had fought against free wool or free sugar or both, and had only yielded at last when it became a" question of passing the bill or defeating it Senator Bristow has introduced an amendment proposing to appropriate $800 to be expended in the building of a bridge across Chilocco Creek which intercepts the state line of Kansas and the Chilocco Indian reservation in Oklahoma. Congressman Taggart, of Kansas, presented a bill in the house validating the leases for oil and gas purposes made by the Osage national council May 25, 1912, to the Uncle Sam Oil company and to Wesley M. Dall and his assigns, and directing the secretary of the in terior department to approve the trans fer of the lease from Dial to the Uncle Sam Oil company. -Congressman Phil P. Campbell intro duced a bill prescribing the procedure in the courts of the United States in actions at law. Congressman George A. Neeley, of Kansas, has introduced a bill" in .the house to extend the provisions of the pension laws to include the Eighteenth and Nineteenth regiments of Kansas volunteer cavalry. The text of this bill follows: "That the provisions, limitations and benefits of the several acts of congress now In force granting pensions to the soldiers and sailors of the late civil war and to their widows and minor children and dependent parents bo ex tended to the surviving officers and enliBted men of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth regiments, Kansas volun teer cavalry, who served 90 days or more and were honorably discharged from the service in the Indian wars of 1867, 1868 and 1869, and also to in clude their widows, minor children and dependable parents." For Soil Survey. The bureau of soils, in co-operation with the state college of agriculture and experiment station, will soon be gin a soil survey of Montgomery coun ty, Kansas. Montgomery county con tains approximately 643 square miles. The survey will be made for the pur pose of determining the different types of soil in the county and what crops they are best adapted to. The survey will be finished in the fall, when the report will be prepared and published later, together with a soil map in col ors showing the locations and extent of the different types of soil, farm houses, churches, schools, railroads, public roads, and streams in the county. Complete soil surveys have been made of Allen, Brown, Cherokee, Greenwood, Jewell, Reno, Riley and Shawnee counties, and partial surveys in Atchison, Butler, Cherokee, Finney, Gray, Labette, Leavenworth, Russell and Sedgwick counties. A reconnois sance soil survey was made by the bu reau of soils in 1910 of the western half of the state of Kansas, covering in all 46 counties. COMMON SENSE AND TOBACCO Why the Man Who Finds He Is Smok ing to Excess Should Quit. In the rush of modern life, where the tendency is to develop the neurotic constitution, tobacco may be regarded, in my opinion, as a kind of saving clause in the history of modern man. But there is always Just this much about the use of tobacco common sense must be well mixed with it. In other words, the man who finds he is smoking to excess and doesn't stop, lacks common sense. The boy who begins smoking Is really old enough to know that it hurts him and will hurt him until he has reached matur ity, consequently he lacks common sense if he continues to smoke during the days of his body and mind build ing. There can be no doubt, I think, that on the whole tobacco represents a harmless form of enjoyment to those who use it in moderation and with whom it agrees. Tobacco is injurious to the young, and I should not hesitate to affirm that the prevalent practice of cigarette smoking by boys may lie at the root of a considerable deal of 111 health, dependent on the fact that tobacco acts in youth by checking the due nutrition of the frame. The adult, on the other hand, may smoke through a long lifetime, and not merely enjoy his pipe, but ex perience benefit therefrom. Where tobacco acts injuriously on the nerv ous system we find either a special predisposition on the part of the sub ject, which unfits him to consume to bacco, or. we discover him. to be us ing it in excess. In the first case, the man should :-be the Judge of his own requirements in the way of to bacco consumption. If the weed in terferes with his -health or comfort, he will be acting only a common sense part by renouncing its use alto gether. There is in this case no mid dle course. While, for the vast ma jority of men smoking presents itself as a habit which has for its outcome the production of. a soothing and calming influence, there are individ uals upon whom it acts either with poisonous effect, -or at least may be productive .of injury. The effects of tobacco, when taken in excess, on the nervous system are manifested in different ways. There is first disturbance of digestion, then eye symptoms may be prevalent, end ing in temporary loss of sight or to bacco amaurosis, as it is professionally termed. The further action of to bacco is seen in irregularity of the action of the heart, producing what medical men call "smoker's heart." The pulse Is Irregular and the heart's action enfeebled, with the result that the general nutrition of the body be comes in due time affected. Irrita bility of the nervous system due to the depression Induced by the excess will also appear, and the otherwise beneficial effect of tobacco is thus converted into a positive evil. The remedy for this state of matters is. of course, obvious. The doctor will advise complete renunciation of to bacco, he will probably order tonics, and if the individual Is completely run down, change of air will also be pre scribed. I may here .refer to one phase of the tobacco .question, which of late years has come prominently into view. I allude to the habit of cigar ette smoking at large, and to the in dulgence by women of this form of enjoyment. The cigarette is no doubt a convenient and handy method of enjoying a whiff, but it is an insidi ous form of tobacco smoking, see ing that the consumption of cigarettes by the ordinary smoker per day tends, as regards the amount of tobacco and the effects thereby induced to ex ceed both phases as witnessed in the average man who smokes pipe or cigar. There are many men who appear to smoke cigarettes from morning to night, and even the dinner table is not sacred from tobacco fumes. In addition to the danger of excess thus Induced, we have to take into consid eration the facts of inhaling the lumes or tne paper and the results of this feature of cigarette smoking cn the throat. My contention is that there is greater danger of injurious excess in the matter of cigarette habit than where tobacco is consumed In pipe or cigars. On women one may well be con' vineed that the effects of tobacco are much more easily produced than in men. The woman's nervous system is, speaking generally, of a more highly strung character than that of the men. She Is more active in thought, more intuitive, more keen in her perceptions than her lord and master, and, physiologically speaking, her nervous system is therefore more liable to develop the unstable state. Cigarette smoking by women may physiologically not be condemned, whatever society manners or the canons of good taste may have to say to the practice, but medical men know of the Irritable hearts and like symptoms being the? inevitable results oi even moderate Indulgence. In to bacco by many AvomenT Arguments here' nem in Ha. tn t.o -w All sav direction of "Advising women to be more tnan careful of the tobacco habit.. It is a, feature- of their nerv ous constitution I that the -effects en gendered in them are of a much more decided .cnaracterr than in the oppo site ei.- wew xork American. HONOR TO KANSAN.

Commissioners' Sting Still Smarts Sir. Co f ran. Mayor R, L. Cofran la peeved. The lack of consideration shown him on Monday by Commissioners Tandy, Newland and Porter, in the matter of choice of a man to succeed Dr. Charles M. Sheldon as a member of the board of civil service examiners, has weighed heavily on the mayor's mind. At the conclusion of a letter read this morning before the city commission from f a citizens who Is desirous that the street railway extension should be out West Tenth street the mayor was called upon to use his Influence for the extension. Mayor Cofran remarked: "He seems to think that the mayor has considerable influence. The way things went the other day it looks as If the mayor hasn't very much Influence nor is he given proper consideration." It will be remembered that at the ses sion Monday Mayor Cofran recommended the appointment of Jesse Chase, chief engineer to the Topeka Edison company to fill the place on the board of civil service commissioners left vacant by the resignation of Dr. Charles M. Sheldon. Notwithstanding the fact of the recom mendation on the part of the mayor, the commissioners gave B. J. uaira the jod. This is the first instance of friction that has appeared.

ELECT FRANK COACH. Trouble With Mosse Is Settled Kan sas Hos Good Prospects. Lawrence. Kan.. May 29. Out of the tangle of the coaching situation at the University of Kansas came the an nouncement that Coach "Minnesota sV.ift" Frank had returned as field coach for the Jayhawkers' football squad next year. There were several applica tions for the position. Former Coach Bert Kennedy was bid ding for the position of hea- coach to take the place of Arthur St. Leger Mosse. But the students and a ma jority of the faculty wanted Coach Frank. Mosse has been at odds with Frank all season and in order to promote har mony in the coaching staff for next season he aia not recommena r ran for the position. Now Frank and Mosse have patched up their differences and have agreed to bury the hatchet. Prospects for next year are bright in every line of athletics. Several indi vidual stars from the freshman squads will give Kansas a wonderful aggrega tion of athletes next year. With the coach situation settled, and the big game practically assured for Kansas City next year, the Jayhawker rooters are feeling mighty fine. Indeed. The athletic board have awarded a number of letters to athletes. Base ball letters were awarded to Buzick, Bishop. Ebcother, De Long, Sommers, Ward, Hicks, Wilson and Coolidge. Track letters were awarded to Pat terson, Edwards. Malcolmson, Black, Cissna, Davis, Hilton, Crane, Hazen, Perry, Burnham, Ross and Reber. Reber, a freshman, got his K for break ing a varsity record in the discus and shotput. Tennis K"s were given to Johnson, Smith, H. Richardson and E. Richardson.

Stanislaus Zby- szko collapsed from weakness in his bout with George Lurlch, of Russia. after 16 minutes and 21 seconds of wrestling at Madison Square Garden last night. The Pole entered the ring with his head swathed In bandages as the result of an injury received in his match with Constant LeMarin at Mon treal last Saturday night. After a few minutes of wrestling, the bandages came off, showing a wound over the left temple. Zbyszko remained on the defensive throughout until his collapse. The referee, Charley White, refused to let the men continue. Vladek Zbyszko, his brother, threw Paul Samscn, of Germany, with a body hold in 34 minutes. IMPERSONATOR CAUGHT. J. A.

Jack Dillon and Frankie Klaus, middleweight boxers, who are scheduled to meet in a ten round bout here tonight, have comple ted their training. The two fighters are evenly matched and have about the same style of boxing. The weight will be 160 pounds Where They Play Tomorrow. Topeka at Des Moines, 2 games. Wichita at St. Joseph, 2 games. Omaha at Sioux City, 2 games. Lincoln at Denver, 2 games. The Kaws are winning about as many of the games on the road as any of the other teams and the sport writers are beginning to recognize their class. Chris Lindsay, of the Sioux City team. who broke an ankle while playing in Wichita about two weeks ago, has left the hospital and has gone to Sioux City. He Is walking with the aid of crutches and watching the games from the grandstand. AVoolems, the Denver semi-pro, who took Lindsay's place with Sioux City, is not showing very well. He is ad mitted to be weak on ground balls and is batting near the lower end of the list. Pen Hornsby is with the Dallas team, which is leading the Texas League. He is troubled with wildness but is effec tive when he does locate the plate. The Kaws will be home next Tuesday for six days and will meet Lincoln and Denver. They will then go to Denver for three days and come back again to meet Wichita. After this they will make the second trip through the Iowa and Nebraska towns. They will have but ten games at home during the month. McCollough is sure doing his part with Manhattan in the Kansas State Leasrue. He won three games last week and won again Tuesday of this week. And Manhattan is at the top of the pile. The deal for Pitcher Mitchell, of the International League, has not been closed as was announced several days ago. Gear continues negotiations ana expects to announce his purchase in a few days. The fans should turn out next Tues day and give the Kaws a rousing wel come on their return from the northern invasion. They have done well up to date and deserve a record-breaking crowd. To give them a rousing recep tion would increase the pepper and that helps win games.

Advance payment is requested on these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping expenses. "Uncle Joe" Cannon is writing for the magazines. Still, it can't be claim ed that he .promised reformation. Now is the opportunity for the sci entist who can develop a mosquito that Is as fastidious about biting as a brook trout. The plan to dig a canal across Nica ragua probably is based on the theory that we can't have too much of a good thing. The claim that London's militants are running a $500,000 bluff seems to give color to their assertion of equality with men. Any pessimist who thinks real art doesn't pay is referred to the artist who is drawing the royalties of "Sep tember morn." Moreover, does the department of agriculture seriously believe that paprika would be just a3 good in case of snake bite? Bulgaria's demand for a plump half of the $400,000,000 indemnity to be asked by the allies seems likely to terminate their relations as allies. Colonel Roosevelt expects to live In the open while looking for a lost tribe of Indians. No real Indian hunter Would exp?ct to live in hotels. When St. Louis gets her phonograph concert in every street car some alder man will be sure to win lasting glory by demanding moving pictures. There are other things than automo biles to be dodged these bright spring days. For instance, the man using a new-fangled lawn sprinkler for the first time. One simple form of amusement may be had by trying to find in the morning newspapers 'something that you have not already read In the afternoon newspapers. In these times the Mexican official has to be exceedingly cautious In his correspondence. There may be a change of government before the letter gets to its destination. A newly-married man in New York lias been held up and robbed of his money three times in three days. But ty the time he has been married a few months he will be used to it. At last the United States has reached the point where she is a bnyer In stead of a seller of fresh meat. A cargo of 200 tons of frozen beef and-mutton from Australia has reached San Fran cisco. v i That St. Paul department store which Inaugurated the experiment of selling municipal bonds over the counter, just like ribbons, handkerchiefs or any other commodity, scored a success. In two hours it disposed of $55,000 of them, all it had, and the population clamored for more. Emporia has abolished the system which required a deposit for a water meter. What is the matter with To peka? Wasn't that one of the issues which won in the recent city election? The Gazette says: "Most people are willing to pay any reasonable price for water, but they don't like to pay for the scales in which the water is weighed." The question is asked: "Why do art ists like to paint and sculpture the nude, human figure?" Possibly it Is because fashions In the human form do not change. The figure of a woman painted 50 years ago draped In hoop skirts would hardly find space now in an art exhibit. Judged by the tendency of modern fashion the time is near when there will be no room for criticising the artist. A woman declares that she hid $3 00 worth of diamonds in a shoe and sent the shoe to a cobbler for repair with out removal of the gems from their place of concealment. Then she re membered and flew to the cobbler, who assured her that he had seen no diamonds. Thereupon she had him arrested. A wholly non-judicial de cision by the Los Angeles Tribune em braces the conclusions that: A shoe is no place to put diamonds; one so placing diamonds, afterward sending the receptacle to a cobbler, must con fess to contributory negligence; one confessing to this degree of absent mindedness inadvertently admits such degree as implies that she may never have hidden the stones there at all; that stones disappearing in transit un der conditions named do not place any shade of responsibility upon any per son but the one who started them on their journey. ABOUT FRED ROBERTSON. The choice of Senator Fred Robert son as successor to Harry Bone. United States attorney for the Kansas district, will be satisfactory to both Democrats and Republicans. Fred Robertson Is not only a lawyer of ability but a man of unimpeachable character, who has made friends in all parties during his political career as well as in his busi ness and legal dealings. His popular ity in the northwest quarter of the state was shown when he was elected to the state senate as a Democrat by the vote of a 13 county district that Is strongly Republican. It is as a lawyer that Senator Rob ertson is best known to Kansas, al though his business activities In Raw lins and adjoining counties have been extensive; he is responsible for the organization and construction of rail road extensions that have been of great benefit to the people of his dis trict, as well as reclamation projects for the Irrigation of arid territory in northwest Kansas and eastern Colo rado. TASTE IN MUSIC. America is engulfed in a sea of mus ical trash. The young person who really likes good music is either looked nnnn with scorn and Pity or condemned as "affected" and hypocritical. If one does not enjoy "Hitchy-Koo one Is be- VflTlfl the noDular musical pale. One is an old fogey or worse. Cleveland Plain-Dealer. Surelv it is not so bad as that. And in order to prove it one has but to attend a concert where both kinds of music are rendered and note the marks of appreciation by the audience. The loudest and most prolonged applause is almost invariably given to the classical numbers, always provided they are those with which the people are familiar. The "Hitchy Koo" class of music rnina much of its popularity among the musically uneducated because it Is easily understood and acquired. Thay do not grasp the classical air until they have heard it a number of times. Furthermore the "popular" tune soon loses its popularity, while the music of "II Trovatore." "William Tell," "Cav aleria" the sextette from "Lucia" 'and "Tnnnhauser" arouse enthusiasm in any audience, year after year. Doubt less there are many other works of the masters that would become as popular if only the people could hear them of tener. Runtime Is not a preference; it Is a necessity. With the great majority it is that or nothing. They have not the ability to master the other kind nor the money to pay for it when furnished by artists. THE PANAMA CANAIi. The locks and lock gates on the Panama canal may not be completed until January, 1914. Owing to the failure of the McClintic-Marshall Construction company to complete the lcok gates within the original speci fied time and the differences arising over liquidated damages, as to whether the government or contractor is responsible for delays, the Isth mian Canal commission is about to enter a supplemental contract with the construction company that will extend the time for completion of all lock gates and fixtures. The contract for this work calls for the expenditure of $5,374,474.82. one of the biggest single construction con tracts ever let by the government. The importance of the canal to America was ably set forth by Wil liam A. Reid in an address before the Pan-American congress, in which he said Cutting asunder the American con tinents finding the long-sought route to India promises to revolutionize commercial and industrial conditions. All the world looks and marvels at our success at Panama; the changing ar teries of commerce become interna tional questions. North American capital and brains and muscle, aid ed by faithful and even heroic labor ers from sixty-eight countries or for ty nations, have builded the greatest engineering work the world has known. We have divided the conti nents in order to become more close ly united. In the western hemisphere Saxon and Latin have not known each other well. Visits have ever been inconven ient or difficult to make: distances are great and travel facilities have been few. Today, both of these ob stacles are being removed by faster ships and shorter routes; indeed, our very thoughts are exchanged through the air. A better understanding" is fast approaching; interest is quick ened; more intimate acquaintance brings a knowledge of each other's requirements. The South American forests, plains and mountains are teeming with man's necessities. On the other hand. North American factories are busy but In many lines an overproduction is causing concern. Fair exchange, then, is the natural solution of these problems of supply and demand. The world is exchanging its com modities to a greater extent than ever before. The year 1812 saw a larger number of ships launched upon the high seas than In any previous year. The trade of the United States' with foreign countries was greater than In any like period of the past; and President Wilson standing before the congress of the nation, says: "We must build up trade, especially for eign trade; we need the outlet and the enlarged field of energy more than we ever did before." JAYHAWKER JOTS A favorite pastime at the Winfield college is ducking students. It is not- a Baptist college, at that. They steal the whisky from the freight depot at Dodge. That is a new way to fight the prohibitory law. The Parsons Commercial club enter tained the farmers of the county at dinner last week and 2,000 of them at tended. The Wellington Journal chronicles that Nat Goodwin has led a blushing bride to the altar. Being number o she had reason to blush. When you hear the seniors' class prophecy read, says the Parsons Sun, doesn't. It. make you blush to recall what was said about you? Three Ottawa ministers attended a band concert in the park Sunday af ternoon and the Herald finds in the cir cumstances food for reflection on how times have changed. True charity consists not so much of giving old, discarded clothes you wouldn't wear yourself to dark-skinned heathen, says the Burr Oak Herald, as it does of giving your neighbors the benefit of any doubt. Records at the office of the chan cellor show that out of the 2,523 stud ents attending the University of Kan sas this year, 51 per cent are wholly or partly self supporting. In this num ber, 100 to 150 of the 765 K. U. young women are included. It has long been a custom to de posit various articles in the corner stone of public buildings when con struction begins. One of the stones was opened at Coffeyville recently and a Bible, some papers and a prayer book were found. The stone was part of an Episcopal church. The Newton Kansan bubbles and gushes as follows: With that new band stand and a new bubbling, gushing drinking fountain over in Military park, and a nice dam with a splendid body of water and new curbing and walks along Athletic park, the public park system of Newton will begin to take on some what the appearance of what it ought to be-delightf ul, clean, healthful re sorts. GLOBE SIGHTS BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE. About all some men have is a strong personality. A good way to keep your friends Is not to need them. An agent has a steady nerve, and keeps It working that way. A lame duck is usually convinced that a republic is ungrateful. That Look of Longing may be due to stomach trouble instead of soulful thoughts. Still, the casualty list Isn't often as large as the demand for damages might indicate. Time never gets so hard as to warrant going to the penitentiary to get steady employment. The rooster which wakens you too early isn't the only one that needs very little excuse for crowing. When a man's wife runs a boarding house, he must feel as unimportant as if he had married an actress. Our notion of a successful teacher Is one who can make history and geography as Interesting as Nick Carter. Colorado has to do most of her bragging on the climate in summer, and can never hope to catch up with California. What has become of the o. f. novel in whicb the guardian married his ward, al though he was old enough to know bet ter? After a man as been married awhile, he is less particular about being greeted with a kiss, and wants the meals on time. Probably an army officer calls it a leave of absence because the term vacation might suggest he had been working be fore it began. Opportunities for sin in other lines aver age considerably larger than the chance of playing on the receiving end of a brib ery transaction. Speaking of lovely woman, as the poet does, the soprano usually thinks the choir needs a new contralto. Or you can play it the other way. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. tFrom the Philadelphia Record. Will power may be another name fof won't power. On the other hand, a man Is also the architect of his own misfortune. It is sometimes easier to do the proper thing than the right thing. Many a man gets a pretty bad fall from being thrown on his own resources. Blobbs "Can a woman keep a secret?" Slobbs "Well, she can keep it going." Is the man who profits by his mistakes better off than the man who never makes any? The average man will give up a conun drum sooner than he will a seat fin a crowded car. Many a fellow who thinks he knows all auout women discovers his error as soon as he marries one. Any man might conquer the world If he only had half as much perseverance as a female book agent. Guzzler "What do you consider the best blend of whisky?" Wigwag "Any whisky that Is mixed with a little common sense." "How do you like this chowder. Mr. Starboarder?" asked the landlady. "It is cold, but not clammy," replied Mr. Star boarder. Muggins "I got back at that suffragette friend of yours." Buggins "How?" Mug gins "I plainly told her she was no gen tleman." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago Newt. It's never too early to mend, either. Wild oats have a few tares mixed with them. A heavy sermon maketh a light collec tion plate. When misfortune overtakes a hustler It has to go some. Some men never recognize an oppor tunity unless it is labeled. Why does a woman Imagine she can re form "a man by singing to him? Even a girl who Isn't a flirt may not want some roan to think she Isn't. The dollar that does a man the most good represents several drops of perspira tion. The girl who has two or three brothers at home finds no chance to develop con ceit. Many a man's interest in a woman Is confined to wondering what fool thing she will do next. Alas for the young man whose only claim to distinction Is a little straw lid with a multicolored band. 1 SY THE WAY BY HARVEY PARSONS. There are cynics who will observe that the California girl who broke out of a detention home to get married, went from bad to worse. It is reported that Kink Gawge was kissed by the Kaiser at the royal wed ding. Which should be a comfort to the ordinary victim of a wedding In vitation. Belonging to the royalty en tails something worse, when invited to a wedding, than wearing a dress suit and buying an expensive present. Instead of the usual spring hoop snake story, comes the report of a Kansas boy who killed a wolf with the thigh bone of some deceased animal. The name of the deceased animal that furnished the bone is not given, but a bull is suspected. The story sounds that way. It will be unnecessary for editors to reprint that story about the Colby man who was severely injured while wash ing dishes for his wife. Only one man out of ten thousand needs an excuse like that. The trouble with the average gink who has a "message to the pee-pul" is that he wants to deliver it collect. The recent death of a Chicago man revealed the fact that his business, occupation and trade was matrimony. He died in middle" age. There are men 70 years old who have followed the avocation of dynamiter since the ex plosive was" invented. Education is a necessity, but you can find a fly in every jug of ointment. No illiterate ever, went to the peniten tiary for bank wrecking or forgery. Here's to Fred Robertson, logical fol lower of Harry Bone. The conditions, so far as federal prosecution are con cerned, will be about the same; the in nocent will have a fair chance to prove it, and the malefactor will get his. Topeka now has a pulmotor, and is ready to bring back the deceased at a moment's notice according to the agent who sold the machine. HOW E VAH, several undertakers are revarn ishing their hearses for the summer trade. Hon Roosevelttestifles that he was never drunk in his life. There are sev eral authorities on the definition of "drunk," and we recall three notable verdicts on the subject. A few hundred years ago some old gink possibly an authority wrote: "He is not drunk, who from the floor May rise and drink a bumper more." Within the last century, some wag quoted ye ancient poet and another wag at the same dinner amended by stat ing: "No man is drunk so long as he can lie on the floor without holding on." And the last and the diadem gem of them all, was pulled by a red-nosed but abstemious Topeka policeman. vHe brought a man before the police court on a "souse" charge. "Your honor, I was not drunk," tes tified the victim.1 Without waiting to be sworn or to assume the witness chair the righteous copper yelled- "He was too! 1 smelt K on his breath 1" Out in Trenton, Mo., where the "Tren ton idea flourishes, they have a good workable slogan which goes thus- "Get acquainted with your neighbor; you might like him. Everybody likes everybody else in Trenton, which explains why it is the center of the most progressive com munity in the state. First or last, progress is always a mat ter of cooperation. Even a radical re former who looks the world square In the face and tells it to get off at the next stop can't get very far unless he has some equally radical backing. The In dividual is important, as he gives charac ter and inspiration to the aspiring human mass, but when It, comes to working out that character in physical form and mak ing that inspiration manifest in matter, he must needs have the assistance of other men working to the same end. The basis of cooperation Is mutual nk lng and understanding. Team work is possible only when men know and have confidence in each other. Antipathy, dis gust, indifference," hate, are so many agents of social disintegration. They have cost the earth more than fire, flood and holocaust. Where they exist, social en ergy Is going to waste, is being misdi rected or Is actually consuming Itself in strife. The regiment without the esprit du corps is better out of the army. The working force of a factory that isn't "pulling for the house" Is getting money under false pretenses, if it is getting any money at all. The community where men hold aloof from each other is the community that has badly-paved streets, poor lights, in adequate sanitation and a high mortality rate. It Is one In which business strug gles and merchants employ cutthroat methods. It wrangles and rots because it can't pull itself together for a common purpose and get results. It is a house divided against itself that falls while ev erybody stands by to point out defects and curse the builder. Human sympathy Is the greatest co hesive force in the universe. The greatest sentence that ever fell from the Hps of man was an imperative one, "Love one another." The next greatest was, "Get together." The man who is indifferent to his neighbors is to that extent a mental defective. In a world where there is so much work to do and so few who know how to do it, we. can't afford to waste energy by lack of team work. Your ideas may be fraught with the magic that heals the ills of mankind, but If you alone hold them they might as well never have been conceived. If you draw the family next door Into the fight you are on the way to success. You have the nucleus of an aggressive force.

I feel an envy very deep For those frail little birds that fly Across the tranquil evening sky Before the world has gone to sleep. Each evening e'er the light is done There falls a hush, aa tho the Lord Were wont to speak a wondrous word I he promise or another sun. The traffic of the air Is still. The clouds are motionless and flushed. The very wind is listening, hushed, As tho to hear the Master's will. And then the swallows' twittering flight! Audaciously, yet half in fear. As tho they knew he held them dear, And so forgave them every night.. They hasten past; the sun Is low. The Master's word at close of day Is spoken yet the swallows stray Enraptured in the afterglow. Ah, for that confidence divine! The knowledge that, however late, I seemed to let the Master wait. His pardon and his love were mine! B. MacArthur. THE EVENING STORY Alan Benedict. (By Molly McMaster.) The young ambulance surgeon hur ried to the cheap tenement building. WThen he arrived, however, the tiny atom of humanity bad preceded him and was struggling to remain in the world of living people. The doctor's eyes were grave when he saw the infant. To ail appear ances it was drifting alowly Into the land. that knows no recall, and the great pleading eyes of the mother were powerless to hold it. "Christen him," she moaned faintly, "he must be christened." r... Tinpiiirt humored the Italian mother and took the proffered Pyer book from one of the kind neighbors who had been in the room. "What shall I call him?" he asked, as he turned to the baptismal service. ...i,4c nam,, him after yourself, murmured the mother, and closed her anguished eyes. I christen thee Alan Benedict Lino, said the young surgeon gravely, and imade a cross on the small, white brow. When the ceremony was over, the infant seemed to have passed with it. yet Dr. Benedict was unwilling to give up hope. He was ambitious as well as the father of a tiny son of hia own. and he was in a position to know just how the poor Italian mother was suf fering over the loss of her first born. With sudden inspiration he began to breathe Into the baby's mouth and so continued until his own strength was nearly spent. Perhaps it was 30, per haps 40. minutes before faint signs of life stirred within the feeble body of the baby. The little blue body took on the pink flush of an early dawn; the crumpled rose leaf fluttered and lived1 Alan Benedict breathed a sigh of relief and triumph. He has saved a life and brought a murmur of happi ness to a mother. After that Doctor Benedict went out and closed the door softly behind him. It might have been 25 years, or even 30, before Doctor Alan Benedict again remembered the tiny Infant he had saved. In the work of years he had risen to great heights in his profession and was one of the leading surgeons of the country. "Papa," exclaimed Sylvia, perching herself upon his knee and pointing to an article among musical notes, "isn't it strange that a man by the name of Alan Benedict should be a great singer? I am consumed by a desire to see him and hear him sing just because of the name." Doctor Benedict smiled because he always smiled when his beautiful Syl via was near. He closed his eyes for a moment in intense thought and when he opened them memory had brought back the entire scene in the tenement room where he had saved the life of the infant. Sylvia's eyes widened while he told her the story and her cheeks were flushed. "It is more than likely that he is the singer you have read about. Sunny Italy produces so much in the world of music," be added, "and most proba bly he has grown up into a fine husky basso," he laughed. "Tenor," corrected Sylvia, wth a tug at her father's neck. "Daddy," she asked coaxingly, "don't you think we could ask him to sing at my coming out party? It would be so romantic and he would be so delighted to meet the man who helped him to stay in this world and make a name for himself." "Splendid idea!" agreed the doctor. "Make all of your plans. I will be most happy to meet the boy." When Alan Benedict, tenor read the delicately penciled note that was signed Sylvia Benedict his heart gave a great bound. A subtle fragrance seemed to have been wafted into "lis life with the coming of that note. Per fume hovered in the air and something told him that Sylvia Benedict would usher him into a new life even as her father had ushered him into his first life. Certainly he would sing at her debut. He would sing his most beautiful aria, but first he would see and talk with Dr. Alan Benedict- He would tell him of his struggles from the life of the tenements to the gradually ascending life of a musical star. He would ell him also that he had been awaiting the day when he could come to him with a great name, and thank him In person for all that the doctor had done for him. Alan Benedict had cherished a peculiarly strong sense of gratitude for the man who had done so much for an obsecure atom of Italian human ity. He did not know why his heart pounded with so unusual a force when his limousine slowed up at the curb cf Dr. Benedict's home, nor did he an alyze the feeling that had taken pos session of him in regard to Sylvia. He had never seen her, never even known of her existence, yet some strange power was keeping her name singing in his heart. When he stepped into the house he seemed to have entered upon a flower kingdom. There were flowers every where, and Benedict looked over the mass of people who had come to wel come Sylvia into the social whirl, and he felt glad that he was to contribute to her pleasure. He knew himself to bo in splendid voice, and as he made nis way across the crowded room many heads turned to watch him. He was slim and graceful of movement, and his olive skin and expressive dark eyes made many a woman catch a quick breath of admiration. Sylvia, who stood beside her mother shaking hands and chattering gayly wth her guests, felt suddenly star tled. Her heart began to flutter and she felt much like a timid bird that seeks to escape from a swiftly im prisoning hand. Her father was coin- ing toward her and by his side was Alan Benedict, tenor. The meeting was all very much like a beautiful dream. Sylvia remembered afterward that her hand had been grasped firmly in a warm hand that tingled when hers met it and she knew that her eyes but glanced into the depths of a pair that seemed to be very happy eyes. "I have tried to express to your father the great blessings his hand has given me hi life,'' Alan Benedict said, and Sylvia only nodded with an af fectionate smile into her father's eyes. She knew, somehow, that she, herself, was one of the blessings her father had given to the Italian. (Copyright 1913 by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) EVENING CHAT BY KOT CAKKROX. L Why Women Remember Anniversaries Almost all women are born symbolists. If more men realized that fact we should have more happy marriages. What is simply an ordinary, unimport ant fact to a man, and nothing more, is often the symbol of many vastly import ant facts to a woman. That is why an ordinarily sensible woman will sometimes make a terrible fuss over what seems a very little thing to a man; and that Is why an ordinarily kind-hearted man will sometimes be hard and unsympathetic over what seems a very big thing to a woman. That Is why the least sentimental wife always remembers her wedding anniver sary; and that is why the most devoted husband sometimes forgets the great day. A young couple I used to know had their first quarrel because he left her to go to a ball game one Saturday afternoon when they had only been married a few months. She didn't want to go but she professed herself quite willing to have him go, and thinking all was plain sailing, he went. When he came back he found his wife en veloped in that peculiar atmosphere of constraint which every young husband has occasionally encountered. All attempts to break through it proved vain he was honestly mystified. He really had no idea what was the matter, and after several rebuffs, grew hostile in his turn. Of course the misunderstanding finally came to a head and pride and formal politeness dissolved into tears on one side and re assurances on the other. When the ex planation stage arrived, the husband was truly astonished to find that It was all because he had gone to the ball game without her. "But you told me to go," ha protested, with the obtuseness of a big blundering man. "I wanted you to go 'f you wanted to, but I didn't want you to want to-" she sobbed. "But it was such a little thing anyway," he argued, man wise. "Well, it wasn't Just that you went to that game," she explained, woman wise, "but I thought of all the times you would leave me in the future. It wasn't at all the fact that you went this time that troubled me, it was the thought that probably our tastes would differ more and more and some day you would always go off by yourself to have your good times." Tn an unmarried man all that probably sounds like the veriest nonsense. To a married man it probably sounds sadly familiar. Anu to a woman it surely sounds nat ural and sensible. Such is the symbolism of woman which sees in one little fact a thousand big facts. And such Is the misery this symbolism causes when it isn't understood. Any man who. will take this tendency Into account will double his chances of matrimonial happiness. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT BY ROY X. MOULTON. Metamorphosis. When the statesmen go to Washington They are brimful of reform. They are for the common people And they rant and rave and storm. Diagnosing the conditions They set forth the people's ills.

Then they quiet down serenely And no longer tear their hair. Ana the folks in February Wonder if they still are there.

Probably you have observed that the Industrial Workers of the World don't do a great deal toward living up to their far-flung name, and devote many precious moments to the manu facture of plain and fancy disturb ance. Whenever the I. W. W. (ab breviated like their working hours) gets strong in a community, the popu lation is apt to devote much of its time to marching in the parade, or languishing in Jail, and very little to the useful pursuits which might add to the bank accounts. There's a reason, as they ay in Battle Creek, and it has lately leaked out. In fact, their leader, Bill Hay wood, who has put up at many of the leading jails from Boise to Bangor, ia now preaching it. He Is advocating the FOUR hour day in order that hia followers will have more time to march in the parade, and labor for the good of the order. Of course it wouldn't seem consistent for believers in the four-hour day to accept situa tions where the hours of toiling and spinning were eight or ten. Such con fining toil might interfere with the propaganda and is to be shunned. They don't propose to be wage slaves as long as they can live on oratory and torch lights. Which is frankly overdrawn. Many of the followers of the I. W. W. are hard workers who 'earn all they get and then some, perhaps, but they are foolish for all that; they are foolish to maintain fat-headed leaders in lux ury or in Jail, either, for that matter, to tell them things which can only get them into trouble. People have come to recognise tha eight hour day aa a desirable dis tance in many lines of endeavor, and more of them will, accept that, unlesa fool leaders crab the game by de manding a good deal more than those interested are entitled to, or can hope to get. There Is a good deal of work to be done in the world; a good deal more than is being done, and there is no reason to believe it can be ac complished by cutting the shift and putting more people to work. There aren't that many loafers, regardless of the way they pester busy people. Atchison Globe. THE IRON HAND. The "Iron Hand of the Law," is no fiction, as many a poor devil has found to his own undoing. In the federal prison at Leavenworth is a man 59 years old, who has been in prison for 40 years. He was convicted when he was 19 years old of. the charge of holding up and robbing a stage coach that car ried United States mall. He was con victed on the testimony of a woman, and has for 40 years declared that he was innocent. Until now he could not be paroled, but a recent law permits life termers in. federal prisons to be paroled,, and he will probably be the first to be released under the law. The pardon board more than half believed his story, and admits that he may have been innocent. If he did not com mit the crime, can you imagine the feelings that must have been in him by night and by day for 40 years? Think, if you can, what your feelings would be if you were taken today and wrongly convicted of a crime and sent for life to prison. The old charitable and philosophical view that the law took, namely, that it is better that a hundred guilty men escape than that one-innocent man -be punished, seems to be peculiarly applicable to James R. Todd, who has suffered in prison from youth to old age for a crime he perhapa never committed. Lawrence Gazette. IROM OTHER PENS TWO PEACE MEN. WITH A DIFFER ENCE. Dr. Lyman Abbott, a man of years, education, and exceptional experience, told a peace conference the other day that "the gleam of the sword and the bark of the cannon would continue until a power greater than of armed man should be found to protect innocence from Injustice. Dr. Abbott's thought did not over whelm one by Its novelty. A day later Dr. Eliot, a man of years, brains, mental vigor and exceptional ex perience, told the same peace conference that education and the Judicial settle ment of disputes were among the forces that were abolishing war. In other words, the "power greater than that of armed man" is already here and successfully working for peace. We may add that the trade unions, the social and industrial reform movements, the foes of privilege and injustice are also among the forces that are working' for peace. Commerce, finance, trade and the dislike of taxes that yield no return are also peace factors. As to the protection of innocence, who was Miss Innocence in the Franco-Prus-Bian war or the Russo-Japanese war, or the Anglo-Boer war? We think any real Miss Innocence would rather be protected by courts or arbitral tribunals than by "the bark of the cannon," which slays thousands of poor Innocents taken from fields, factories and offices. Chicago Rec ord Herald. FACING DEA'ITI. There were dramatic circumstances attending the case of the young Geor gia banker who stood at the threshold of death for a week and never falter ed, which focussed tho thought of newspaper readers on his exhibition, of grit and courage, but In the essen tials it cannot be said that he has been an exception among men beyond comparison. Many a man, or woman, has gone down to the doorway of death as boldly and bravely as has this Georgian, and his seven days of anticipation, during which he main tained a spirit and a nerve which haa won him deserved admiration, bear little comparison to the yeara which some have traveled or are traveling with just as certain a sentence over hanging them. It is one of the- mysteries of life that death has no sting. Men love life and cling to it with the very last of their resources; they shudder at the thought of death and think they fear it, but when they finally are brought Into its very presence and face It, they find they have no cause to be afraid and they go down into the valley with out a tremor. None has returned to give ua the full explanation, but the fact we know, and the experience of the Georgia banker is exceptional only In its Incidental environment. Perhaps many a person, if full credit were to be given, proves a greater courage and grit and nerve bv stickine t life fighting Its battles against odds than if he or she chose the easier path and stepped over into the great peace ritiidueipniB X3Ulieun.

Eloping: Madison Principal Burned Diplomas of Graduates. Some one at Madison. Greenwood coun ty, sent State Fire Marshal Harrison Parkman a false alarm when they re ported that the town's new $35,000 high school building had been destroyed by fire. Parkman investigated the blaze and even promised to have the Madison fire chief prosecuted for dereliction of duty for failing to do his duty. Then Parkman nearly fell oft his chair when he received a postcard from the Madison fire chief that told all about the "blaze." According to the news which the fire chief In the Greenwood county town sent to the fire marshal's office, Madison last year employed a very competent and stunning looking principal for her schools. He was Just closing the school term with a record adorned with all the fancy shades and hues of high success when something happened. "The school building didn't burn down at all." apologetically explains the Madi son fire chief, "but the principal eloped at midnight with a very pretty young girl and burned all the diplomas before he left." And that was the fire that Madison suf fered. The new high school building is still safe, but one of the town's pretty girls has flown the coop. It will be neces sary to employ a new school principal for next year and so far as Parkman has been able to learn, there is nothing in the new law that makes the town fire chief guiltv of- neglect of duty for falling to report the burning of the diplomas for the members of the graduating class.

wrcrP; TOPTTTTA. irr,Y STATE TOTrn.?TA.Ir--THTJFSDAY EVENING-MAY 29. 1913- PUT DOWN TAXES Estimated That Kate Will Be $1.50 ext Year. FAMED BEAUTY OF SOUTHERN WOMEN WAS THE PRINCIPAL FEATURE OF BIG CONFEDERATE REUNION DAN IS FOR PEACE Anthony Will Attend Topeka Harmony Council. In order that all may unite in the observance of Reduction of 17 Cents on the Valuation for 1912. Prominent Regulars and Pro gressives Are Coming. t NEW REVENUE IS IN SIGHT County Fees and Motor Regis tration an Aid. Both City and County Levies 3Iay Be Sliced. Those who are in touch with the l--cal tax situation believe there Is good reason to estimate that tho tax rate this year may be reduced to $1.50 on the valuation of J100,. the rare of three years ago. Such a rate will be a de crease from $1.67. the rate of last year. There are a number of things that many enter into the decrease including a Jump of nearly J2, 000,000. in, the. iota.1 valuation in the county,, tha oe-t of iwhich also is in the city ot "Tiireka; the payment of fees to the county, and the payment of automobile and motoi c le registration fees Into the eeunty treasury for the maintenancs of public roads. If the increase in valuati m reaches 12,000,000 after the work of equalization has been completed, that aloni 'il". raise $30,000 at the rate of $1.50 per $100. Fees to go to the county that heretofore have been retained by var ious county officers may reach $10,000. The tax paid by autoists and motor cyclists is expected to go over $5,000. a. total of nearly $50,000. It is being u-scd that such a showing ought o reduce the taxes for this year, and 't is be lieved undoubtedly will do so. perlmp.3 to the rate mentioned. Last year the levies were as follows Ier $100 valuation: State 12 County 2 School 31 City "0 Total V-7 The state tax, it is believed, is like ly to remain the same as last year. Several items in the county tax are likely to be cut. The levy for general revenue will have to be cut in view of the increased valuation. It -was 1.28 mills last year. If the total valuation goes over $80,000,000 this year the levy will have to be cut to 1.28 mills, being the limit permitted by law. Cut In County and City. A county levy of .75 mills, which raised $62,700 approximately for roads and bridges was made last year. In asmuch as there are no river bridges to build this year, which cost a lot of money, and as the auto registration fees will go into the road maintenance fund, and in view of the increased valuation, it is believed likely that a cut can be made in that levy. In fact it is hoped that the county levy may not exceed 2 mills this year, or 20 cents on the valuation of $100. The city levy may be cut, and those who are urging a reduction of taxes believe that it may be trimmed to the tune of one mill, making it for the present year 6 mills instead of 7 mills as it was last year. However, the school levy is likely to be increased if anything to take care of a big floating indebtedness that the board faces every year in warrants for which there is no money, and which draw interest at the rate of 6 per cent. So the school levy may go as high as 6.5 mills. But even then the 1913 levy would be only 15.7 mills, or $1.57 on the valua tion of $100, a decided improvement upon last year. The way the levies are being doped right now would make the following showing per $100 valuation: State i -12 County 2 0 School .65 City 60 Total $1.57 Much, of course, depends upon the final showing made on the increase in valuation, and upon figures that are being compiled upon the amount that will be realized from the payments of fees into the county treasury by vari ous county officers who heretofore have been working upon a fee basis. The figures given herewith are purely estimates based upon the facts at pres ent at hand, and represent the hope f many taxpayers as to the size of the 1913 levies. Unquestionably, it is said, the tax levies will be reduced in at least two departments the '"county and city. The exte.nt of the reduction cannot be determined at this time.

Cupid lTses Many Strange Methods of Leading Victims to Altar. A thousand ways lead to the altar, and many of them are at least as strange and unconventional as that by which a bride was recently won as the prize of victory in a cross-country race by a brace of rival cowboys on bronchos. In certain parts of Wales, it is said, the old-world custom of "marriage by capture" still survives, and before a man can lead a maid to the altar he must race in hot pur suit of the father or brother, who seeks to carry her off on horseback and rescue her for a more agreeable fate. But wives have been won by con tests more novel than these. Only last year, it is said, a pretty Scotch dam sel looked on at Bisley while the two aspirants to her hand scored bull's eyes and magpies in stern and silent rivalry, for the final scores were to determine who should be her happy possessor. Last year, too. if we are to believe the newspapers, a very charming young lady in society award ed her hand to the one of four suitors who took the first place in a billiard tournament. And there are at least three recorded cases in which matri monial destiny has been determined over tho chessboard. Even more singular was the method recently adopted by a wealthy Neapoli tan called Tesino, who offered his name and fortune to tho lady who could best cook macaroni to suit his exacting palate. No fewer than 120 ladies, we are told, entered with zest Into the contest for so tempting a prize, with the result that a few weeks later the successful macaroni expert was led to the altar by the delighted signor, whose wedding present took the gratifying form of $4,000. A short time ago the hearts of Wall street brokers were fluttered by the appearance among them of an attractive young lady, "a handsome blonde, -with-blue eyes and an exceed ingly graceful figure." She carried a valise containing a number of tick ets which bore the legend. "For the purpose of assisting the completion of the musical education of Miss Ed wina, I agree to pay the sum of $10. If this number proves to be the lucky one in a raffle matrimony may be considered." Within a short time ev ery ticket of this novel lottery was disposed of. Miss Edwina carried off more gold than was necessary for the training of her "rich soprano voice" but whether she secured a husband with her harvest history is silent. While Miss Edwnia was thus bar tering her charms for the sake of her voice. Miss Elizabeth Magic, a young lady of Washington, was boldly ad vertising herself for sale as "a slave for life" to the highest bidder, giv ing a tempting catalogue of her per fections, from her "gray-green eyes, full, passionate lips, splendid teeth and graceful figure" to her love of poetry, her truthfulness, honesty and essential womanliness. "I represent," she says, "an outlay of $10,000, which my late father spent on my education and training, in return for which, in addition to constant soul-destroying labor as a typist. I am realizing an income of $10 a week. I am curious to ascertain what is the highest market value set upon an American slave girl by the slave masters." Even more remarkable was the of fer of a husband as a prize to lady canvassers made by an enterprising tea company. "The young lady." this amazing offer ran. "who produces the best results compared with the amount of salary received, for not less than six months' service, will re ceive $2,500 and will be allowed to marry any single young gentleman in the firm. Should he refuse to marry her we wlil pay her breach of promise damages, $5 00 extra, and dismiss the young gentleman from the firm." Wives have been won more than once by the toss of a coin, but never under more dramatic conditions than the following: Two Genoa woodcarv ers, who were rival suitors for the hand of a pretty little milliner, decid ed to leave their fate to the decision of a coin spun in the air. When the fateful coin fell and Signor Nlzza saw Miss Miss mauga field today, where the. "Battle Among the Clouds" was fought a half century ago, 'It was flanked by the flower of southern womanhood. that he had lost, he produced a re volver and shot himself through the head, falling dead at his successful rival's feet. Charles Kruger. of St. Louis, wooed and won his wife literally in midair, for he had little opportunity of meet ing her, except when they were per forming together on the trapeze; and it was when Kruger had caught her with his hands one evening as she made her thrilling "leap for life" through the air that he received the answer which crowned his happiness, the cheering onlookers little dreaming what romance was being enacted above their heads. New York Press. A PUMPK1.V EPISODE. (By M. Quad.) If at any time durins the year 1903 you had arrived in the villiage of Grafton in a certain middle state you would have found a restful, peaceful place. No one rushed about. No one talked politics. N'j one argued over Jonah and the whale. 'i Here were no quarrels among men or dogs. If you had asked Deacon Somers what thrilling event had happened in Grafton ,in the last 20 years he would have taken five minutes to reflect and then slowly answered: "Wall, I can't think of nawthlg' cep' the Baptist church being struck by light nin' In that same year a man traveled over a good part of Indiana and Illinois buy ing pumpkin seeds of farmers. He offered li cents a pound for all they would send Aim in the fall to a certain address in Chicago, and if a farmer wanted some nionev in advance to protect himself ne got it. During the last two months ol autumn the farmers of the locality men tioned shipped in several tons of pump kin seeds and got their money by return mail. Of course, there was a natural desire to know what was to be done with the seeds. The amount was too gre.it for the seedmen of the country to buy for one season, and the sellers finally came to the conclusion that a new breakfast food was to be experimented with it was the same man that had bought the seeds several hundred miles away that appeared in Grafton early in Jan uary of the next year. He had come to herald the fact that a great medical dis covery had been made by accident, as most great things are., It was that the needs of a certain pumpkin grown no where else except along the l.ybian desert were a sure cure for indigestion, liver troubles, kidney ailments, nervou.snes,.! and a dozen other things. They would positively prevent consumption and can cer and all sorts of fevers. v. hile it was a fact beyond dispute that the seeds would do this. American doctors had not yet risen to the occasion. It had been left to m layman to secure the only seeds that would be sold to America foi the next three years. Meanwhile thou sands of people must suffer and perish for the want of the remedy. Mr. White had a few of the seeds with him. They were chocolate colored, in stead of yellow-white. They could he had only in Chicago, and no order exceed ing a peck would be filled. Just hohl n seed in the mouth for five minutes ana then chew it down. Three cents a seed was the price up to the first hundred, and then a discount was made. Two nun ored seeds would cure any family of whatever ailed them, but Why had Mr. White come to Grafton instead' of selecting a great city, where his sales would have been immense? Why was he seemimjly wasting time and money? What were the few lives there com pared to the millions outside? No one had asked him the question, but he would ask and answer it. Mr. White had sent to Egypt for a specimen of the soil in which the pumpkins were grown. Then he had collected soils from 300 dif ferent localities in the United States. This included one from Grafton. That one alone bore the earmarks of the Egyptian soil. It would grow the pumpkins from which millions of dollars were to be made in the future. If the citizens of the town and county could save their lives and fill their pockets at the same time wasn't it business to do It? If they went into Lyhian pumpkin seeds it would knock the sales of Egypt colder'n a wedge, but no one need hesi tate on that account. Wasn't Americans knocking each other every .day in th week. If the people in and around Grafton didn't want to grow pumpkins then would they sell their lands to Mr. White? Not by a darned sight would they sell! They had been put next to a good thing, and didn't propose to be pried off the perch. Mr. White signed a contract with each and every one that wanted to be come a pumpkin-arrower to take all his seeds at a cent apiece. He wanted only the seeds: the grower could keep the rest of the pumpkin. Each pumpkin would net the farmer at least a dollar, and ev ery acre of land would grow 600. The average village garden would turn out a hundred and leave room for lettuce, radishes and onions. Grafton woke up. Bell county woke up.

What he did say. and vith much feeling was that he hoped the peo ple would not forget him after he had de parted. wHlhey haven 1 yet. and probably never The village of Grafton had four prettv fair doctors. At the beginning of things they called Mr. White a liar. S fakir and a. fraud. His reply was that when Harvey discovered the circulation of the blood men wanted to mob him for a charlatan, the doctors denied the curative proper ties of his Lybian pumpkin seeds. He re plied that for years and years the medical fraternity had fought shy of quinine. No, they didn't get anything on Mr. White to scare him out of town between two days. He was right on the Job all the time, and the doctors suffered in prestige instead of gaining. It was prob- 1 L niuie a leiier to Washington that brought an inspector to Grafton to see if the postal laws were being broken. He came and saw and went away. He said that somebody had to get the money of the I'ncle Rubes of the country, and he could see no difference between Mr. White and the brokers of Wall street. As spring approached and the snow be gan to go and the people to get ready for pumpkin seed planting, there came to Grafton one day a professor from the State Agricultural college. He had heard of the seeds and wanted to see them. They were shown htm, and he promptlv identified them as the seeds of American pumpkins. "But they are not a yellow-white," was protested. "That's because they have not been dyed But these surely came from a desert." "How do you make that out?" "Thejr feel sandy.1' "Couldn't sand be sifted over them?" in a quiet and even voice, "are you pre pared to substantiate your allegations in a court of law?" "But I say they are American pumpkin seeds." "You must prove them to be such or pay me heavy damages!" The professor wilted, and when he had been notified by several parties that he would better move on, he moved. On the day that the first seeds went into the ground Mr. White took a trip. He hasn't returned yet. More than 300 acres of land were pre pared and planted, and the yield was tens of thousands of American pumpkins. Hundreds of people chewed up the Iybian seeds, but no one was bettered. Straight fake and pure fraud from beginning to end, and yet there were many who felt about it as Deacon Johnson did when he said: Well, that saves us the trouble of In vesting our money in mortgages!" (Copy right, 1912. by Associated Literary Press.) Railways in the Kongo. The problem of communications is the most vital in the Kongo. There are 6.000 miles of navigable rivers in the Upper Kongo, and 90 miles in the Lower. Be tween Matadi and Leopoldville dangerous Cataracts render navigation impossible, and the connecting link is the Matadi Leopoldville railway, constructed in 18!4 at a cost. U is said, of $9,000,000. This rail way, which might well be called the artery of Kongo commerce. Is probably the richest mine in the world, all things considered. The dividends have been enormous, and the original shares have increased many hundredfold in value. The total length of the line is 246 miles, and the cost of a first-class passage, which takes two days, is $38.60, with freight rates high in proportion. It costs $2C0 to trans port one ton of cloth from Matadi to Leopoldville. The total receipts, since the beginning of operation in 1898 have been $29.936,760. Consular Report. Congressman Dan Anthony, of the First district,- is coming to Topeka June 3 to attend the harmony conference and to use his influence in bringing to gether the divided faction in the party. Congressman Phil P. Campbell haa written Senator James A. Troutman endorsirg the get together plan, but declares that it will be impossible for him to leave Washington for the meet ing. That many men prominent in the ranks of both the Regular and Pro gressive Republicans will be in To peka to take an active part in the meet ing, was the belief of Senator Trout man today whijn he discussed the plana for the conference. Senator Borah, however, will be unable to come to Topeka next week and there will pro bably be no outside speakers at the meeting of the men and women who want a reunited party in Kansas. Gordon L. Einley of Garden City and I. D. Young of Beloit, both beaten for congress last fall when they entered the running wearing the brands of Progressives, have declared they will come to the meeting and are expected to make speeches. Gordon lost the Sev enth district congressional plum and Young was beaten in the Sixth district after both of the men had been put in the column with the Progressive fol lowers. In addition to these men, Senator Troutman is counting on Attorney Gen eral John S. Dawson, Representative Robert Stone of Shawnee county. Chas. W-. Moore of Kinsley and E. C. Mal laney of Hill City for speeches. Other talks will be made by members of the 1913 legislature, practically all of whom attended the first harmony meeting and signed the call for a state meeting. Practically every county in the state will be represented at the conference, according to information which has been received in Topeka. GLAUDY IS PRESIDENT.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTR.NAIr THURSDAY EVENING- MAY 29, 1913- BETIVEENJ FIRES Minimum Capacity Case Hang ing' in Balance. Farmers Versus Retail Mer chants in Kansas. PAGE GIVES HIS VIEWS j Koontz Questions Credentials of T. M. Potter. small dealer several months, and the millers insisted- that 24,000 pound car is big enough.- The millers did .not Question the claim of the railroads that the propos ed increased minimum would make available more cars, and thereby be of benefit to the farmers, but they con- tended that the farmers would not be benefited in the long run by any pol icy that would cripple the retail mer chants. The railroads are trying to show that the merchants' who handle flour and feeds are more prosperous and in a much better condition than they were when the 4,000 pound minimum was established. The railroad representa tives think the merchants should make Topeka Miller Believes Dealer I this small concession to the farmers. I 1'otter on Stand. ai I UIUUCU I TV XT Pnttpr nf Teslnrtv n former state senator, took the stand this morning for a few minutes, saying that ho represented 177,000 farmers in Kansas who did not ask for the increased minimum. J. R. Koontz of I the Santa Fe questioned Mr. Potter's credentials. He said that Mr. Potter should be allowed to appear only for himself, unless he could produce au thority from the farmers. Mr. Koontz said that while he (Koontz) did not pose as a representative of the farm ers, he had letters from farmers In every county on the Santa Fe demand ing an Increased minimum to enable them to have cars in which to mar ket their crops. Mr. Potter said he was suspicious of the movement, "suspicious of the Greeks bearing gifts." He said he be lieved that if the railroad had proper I motive power, there would be less dif ficulty with car shortages. He told about bringing a train load of cattle from the northwest, and being delayed at La Junta because the Santa Fe had 30 dead engines in the shops, and not! a good one to take his train out. It developed on cross-examination that the engine trouble experienced by Mr. Potter at La Junta occurred eight years ago. Mr. Koontz explained that the trouble mentioned was the excep tion, not the rule, and offered to pro duce records to show that there had been no motive power trouble of a I serious nature on the Santa Fe in late years. There are no farmers at the hear ing, except Mr. Potter, who said he lived on a farm, but admitted that he had not been able to "show welts" for i some years. However, he was allowed to qualify as a farmer. Representa tive Frank Chase of Jackson county. a "near farmer," was a spectator. While Mr. Chase has a farm, banking! is his main business. "JAPS WANT TO RULE WORLD," SAYS MARK TWAIN'S COUSIN, RETURNING FROM,ORIENT Two important questions are involved in the case before the state public utili ties commission for an increase in the minimum weight of carload shipments of grain products and seeds from 24,000 to 30,000 pounds: First Would the increase be of bene fit to the farmers by enabling the rail road companies to furnish 20 per cent more equipment during the peak of the Kansas grain loading. Second Could the average retail merchant who handles flour and seeds in carload lots take care of the ad ditional 6,000 pounds without buffering hardship. While the hearing has taken a wide scope, ranging from tariff to motive power, the problems stated are those on which the commission will center Its thought for the next few days. Mini mum weights on salt, cement and plas ter also will be given attention. Wednesday afternoon and this fore noon the millers had the floor, their case being under the general management of C. V. Topping, secretary of their state organization. Henry Lassen of Wichita and David Page of Topeka were important witnesses. They were on the stand several hours. Their contention was that the average small retail merchant had now about as big a load as he could carry, owing to close competition and low profits, and that to require him to tie up money or credit in increased tonnage of flour and seeds would be a hardship. It would not make any difference to the large dealers, but it would seriously interfere with the business of the gen eral run of merchants in small towns. carioaa or nour lasts the average Real Value Giving Prices On Table supplies by the firm tnat saves you money.

Tlie Cobbling Business Has Its Pccu uarmes. Some days der drug store man comes in my place und looks all around und says: I don't see no rush of peoples to get cement patches." Und den comes der little oerman tailor to say: "I told you you vhas no peesness man. Vhere vhas der crowa." Und der plumber comes in to shake his head und say: 'One month more und you will ce by der poor house! You see, you don t understand how It goes here in Amer ica." Do I feel bad vhen mens talk- to me dot why? It scares my wife, but I only smile and keep right-on; as Derore. Tou see. a cobbler shop vhas not a bank or a store or a law office. You must run it In a certain way or she vhas bankrupt. It takes me two years to learn, but I have got it. Every Monday morning I know vhat shall happen in my shop. A womans comes in who vhas der mother of six children. She brings one pair of shoes to be fixed oop. It vhas so for two years, und efery time she says: 'Cobbler, if you didn't know me. would you believe I have six childrens at home?" "Not at all," I says. "I think maype you haf one child, but no more." "Und you wouldn't belief I vhas 45 years old?" If a man tells me dot I say he vhas some liars! You don't look some ofer 30.

Kfery Monday afternoon an old maid who lives mit her sister drops in. She can't always bring her own shoes to be mended, and so she brings her sis ter's or her sister's children's.

(Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.) STOMACH NEEDS RIGHT FOOD Study of Digestion Shows Why Care Should Be Used iu Eating. If you were, to see a fireman throw ing small pieces of dynamite, soggy I wood, tin cans, mud and some coal into his furnace you would know he was a poor fireman. You would also know that he could not get up much j steam, and that he would soon clog things up so that he would put his j power plant out of business. That is just what many so-called intelligent people do when they mix whisky, cof fee, starches, acids, sweets, and a lot of mushy, greasy things in their stom achs. 1 I have recently received thousands of letters which convince me that the vast majority of people do not really know what digestion, assimilation and metabolism are, therefore, I am going to explain these things in as simple language as possible to show the read- er that everything he eats should be carefully selected and for a specific j purpose. j What we call appetite is not a good guide, for people have appetites for whisky, tobacco, various kinds of drugs, sweets and coffee, all of which I goes to show that the appetite cannot j be trusted. Everything one puts into the stom- i ach that can be converted into energy, bone, brain or tissue clogs the diges- I tive organs and the 2,000 miles of i small tubing through which the blood circulates, so that he probably gets out of his body only about 50 per cent of its efficiency. Digestion is merely the process of preparing food to be taken into the tissues. The various steps of digestion are as follows: Food is subdivided or ground fine by mastication. Nature pours into the mouth a fluid called saliva, which is chemically called an alkali. The prin cipal purpose of an alkali is to dis solve and prepare starches, sweets and many other things for digestion, therefore mastication should be very thorough. The more food is masti cated the finer it will be pulverized or subdivided, and the more thorough the saliva will act upon its various atoms. A careful study cf this first process of digestion will also show that one should not eat too many soft, mushy foods, but that each meal should be composed of a liberal portion of coarse foods that require considerable mastication, for in the proces of mas tication the salivary glands are filled and pour their contents into the mouth, and thus the requisite amount of saliva is furnished to aid in pre paring food for final digestion. The second process of digestion takes place in the stomach. The stomach is the first stopping place or depot, as it were, for our food. In the stomach walls there are thousands of little cells or receptacles which secrete a fluid called gastric juice. This is the second digestive fluid, and is a strong acid, called in the leading medical works hydro chloric acid. When one is not hungry these little gastric cells are empty, but when hunger appears they fill up with gastric juice, and when we take food into the stomach they empty their contents and mix it with the food so as to dissolve all such things as could not be dissolved by the saliva. In the third step in digestion the food from the stomach passes into the duodenum, where it comes in contact with the third fluid of digestion, which is called bile. Bile is secreted by the liver and is slightly alkaline like the raliva. In the fourth step in digestion the pancreas, which is a gland that lies just behind and slightly below the stomach, secretes a fluid called pan creatic juice, which, like the gastric juice, is slightly- acid. This Juice is emptied into the duodenum just above where it connects with the small in testines. If any food matter has not been dissolved by the action of hydro chloric acid it will be acted upon by the pancreatic juice. From this it will be seen that the four digestive fluids above described alternate first an alkali and then an acid. This is so arranged that any atom of food not dissolved by one will be caught by the other and reduced to solution. Assimilation is the act of absorbing the nutrition after it has been prepared by the various digestive steps above referred to. The process of assimila- rA iy Theo.

Food material was once considered thoroughly assimilated when it had been passed into the blood, but later research has rather changed the defi nition of assimilation to mean the complete action of the blood, not only in receiving the nutrition from the in testinal tract, but in carrying and de positing this material into the various cells throughout the body. Assimilation in its broadest sense means the picking up of all the nutri tive material that has been subdivided into its several elements by the digest ive juices and making it into one mass and depositing it in the blood. Metabolism means all the changes that foods pass through from the time they enter the body until they are changed into energy or tissue or cast out as waste or ashes. Technically speaking, it means the constructive process, which, in other words, mean the process of building up tissue by assimilation of food, and the processes of tearing down tissue by work or activity: thus the formation of muscu- lar tissue from the proteid matter we j eat would be a process of construction, I while the conversion of carbohydrates! (starch and sugar) into carbon dioxide j would be an example of destruction. I The process of construction absorbs energy or heat from the digested food, J while destruction produces heat as a; result of oxidation, as do ordinary fuels. This explains why muscular work warms the body. If any intelligent person would set aside one week out of every two months and eat plain, simple, pure foods, study and keep a record of the results, he would soon learn how to select, combine and proportion his food according to his age and the work he does. The results would be so good that they would stimulate his interest so much that eating would not only be come a very great pleasure, but it "Would become one of the most inter esting studies in life," for there is noth ing so fascinating as to study and ex periment with a thing with which we can get results and get them quickly.

8 THE TOPTITTA DATTV7 STATE JOm a t; THURSDAY EVENING-MAY- 29, 1913- SAYS ITIS STUPID Dr. Crumbine Swats City Gar bage Collection Flan. Claims System Endangers Health of Topeka. SENDS LETTER TO CITY HALL Tells Tliem Clean Yards Should Be Compulsory. Gratitude of Entire City Is Forthcoming S. J. C. Dr. S. J. Crumbine in a communica tion read at the meeting of the city commission this morning characterizes the garbage collection system in vogue at the present time as -stupid" and conducive to enhancing the death rate of Topeka. Remedies Are Suggested. Commissioner Porter admitted that the system is by no means ideal and he Is at worn on a plan that will be more satisfactory to all persons con cerned. Dr Ciumbine's letter follows: "I know of no other city that has bo splendid an incinerating plant that is endeavoring to operate such a stupid system of garbage collection. I do not desire to be offensive, but I must say that the present system of collecting garbage, merely as a matter of con venience (while greatly appreciated b those who take advantage of its con venience) is, after all, so fundamentally in error as a public health measure as to be almost a matter of censure upon our city authorities. "If my neighbors do not care to re move their manure piles and rubbish, I am still obliged to suffer from these flv breeding places, notwithstanding the fact that I am careful in keeping my own premises clean and take advantage of the city's convenience. Increases Death Kate. My own Judgment is, that an anoma lous system of garbage collection, or lack of system is, at least, one of the important factors in producing To peka's high death rate, and I desire to go on record by expressing the opinion of being much more in favor of a silgnt increase in the tax rate and of a com pulsary system of garbage collection than to continue our high death rate. "The city should do one of two things, either collect all garbage from eve.y person and make them pay for it by ordinance (if the law will permit such a thing to be done) or else make such collection and assess it as a tax item. There is no other expenditure in the -whole city budget, in my judgment, which is quite as important as this matter of garbage collection, and I be lieve that you will not only have the gratitude of the entire city by speedily making a provision for such collection but that, on the contrary, if you fail to do this you will have a moral re sponsibility resting upon you which, personally, as a citizen of Topeka, I do not care to share." ABERNATHYS HERE. Famous Oklahoma Boys on Motorcycle Trip Around World. The two famous Abernathy boys. Louis and Temple, are in Topeka today. They came here from the west on a motorcycle, built for two, and leave this evening for the east. The boys are the sons of John Abernathv of Frederick, Oklahoma, and are on a motorcycle trip around the world. They are accompanied by a tutor who keeps them posted in their school books en route. The boys made their headquarters at the Central Cycle company's office. The Abernathys became famous lour years ago when they journeyed on horse back from Guthrie. Okla.. to Mexico. Then they were known throughout the 1. nited States on account of a horseback ride from their home to New York City where they welcomed Teddy Roosevelt on his return from Africa. Louis, the older brother, controls the machine and Temple is mounted on a eaddle over the rear wheel. Louis is 13 and Temple 9 years pt age. TOOK HIS CLOTHES. Thieves Stripped Victim of All His Wearing Apparel. Chicago, May 29. Finding he had no money or valuables, robbers strip ped Arthur Beaubien, a clerk, of all his clothing, according to the latter's story to the police. Beaubien said he was on his way to his rooming place when he was held up by three men hidden in an alley. "When I said T had no money or jewelry," continued the clerk, "they forced me to take off every stitch of my clothing; then they opened a bundle one of them carried and gave me a pair of old shoes and overalls to put on." In this garb Beaubien went to his room, changed to another suit and carefully avoiding the alley where he was held up, made his way to the nearest police station. r Assorted Boxes for Memorial Day A pretty profusion of Fresh Flowers packed in neat boxes.

Owing to a lack of funds, the work will begin in a small way. but some of the finest things grow from small beginnings. The club has gratefully accepted the offer of the Provident association to use two pleasant rooms on the north east part of the second floor of the association building. A small balcony, which is attached", will be screened in and shaded so that it can be used for the smallest infants. Babies from one month old to a year and a half of age will be cared for.

Washington informs us that a new extravagance in wearing apparel has been introduced by Mrs. Ormsby Mc Cannon, who wears shaded shoes and hosiery to match her gowns. Mrs. McCannon first appeared in this new conceit at the Bennings society horse races when she wore a smart suit of brown twilled silk, the skirt slashed above the ankle to display her brown satin pumps which were dark at the toe, and shading up to a lighter brown at the top into the same tone as her silk stockings which were also shaded as high up as could be seen through the slash in the skirt. Miss Margaret Perin has been among the first to fol low the fad set by Mrs. McCannon and is wearing a gown of soft gray chiffon and crepe meteor cleverly draped at the bottom of the skirt so as to display dainty shaded gray slippers and a shaded gray stockinged ankle. A chic model -of Nell rose linen, se verely plain in design is the subject of today's sketch. The elongated shoulder is formed by a plait while bretelles of filet lace meeting at the waistline widen toward the shoulder leaving a triangular vest at the front which is filled with horizontal strips of linen and lace. There is a tunic slightly draped and bordered deeply with the lace while the narrow under skirt is plain. The hat is a semi-tri-corne shape of hemp trimmed on the left with an uncurled ostrich feather standing erect. The celebration of the golden wed ding of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Hutchison at their country home near Elmont was a large and most enjoyable affair.

New York Woman's Care Over Dog Overshadows Baby's Arrival. London. May 29. London society is wondering whether the arrival of a certain expected little stranger at the home of Lord and Lady Camoys will put "Baby's" nose out of joint. "Baby" is the tiny Pomeranian belonging to Mrs. Watts Sherman of New York, mother of Lady Camoys, who has been here for three months to be near her daughter when the interesting event occurs. "Baby" is considered by all to be a most fortunate dog and his lot mignt be envied by thousands of real babies. The dog is quartered at the Ritz hotel with its mistress. "Baby" is awaken ed in the morning by a maid who carefully combs the long fluffy hair. The dog's breakfast is then brought in by a waiter, for which a charge of 50 cents is made. "Baby" is then combed again and a new rihbon, costing another half dol lar, is put around its neck, for "Baby" never wears the same ribbon twice. Then the dog goes for a motor ride with its mistress. A footman carries "Baby" out to the Sherman motor, but he first must present his hands palms upward so that Mrs. Sherman may see that they are immaculately clean and nothing may contaminate her precious canine. On returning to the hotel, "Baby" is served his dinner, costing a dollar, as this is his principal meal of the day. Following this "Baby" takes a siesta. A light supper follows at 8 o'clock and then "Baby" is put to bed in a large basket lined with soft silk and fitted with silken cushions. Despite this regal treatment from the point of dogdom,. "Baby" has been quite ill of late and requires constant medical attention. BRICK FELL TEN STORIES Hit Xegro's Head and Broke Into a Thousand Pieces. Washington. May 29.

Workmen on the building from which the brick dropped sent hurried ly for a physiican. Before the doctor arrived Moore was up. "What 'ye want to do that for?" he demanded angrily of a workman who was bending over to catch the sup posedly dying man's last words. Examination of Moore today reveal ed that all he suffered was a head ache. The brick contractor charged the brick to profit and loss. THIS ONE RECOVERED.

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTRNAIr-- THURSDAY EVENING MAY 29, 1913- "BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER" Without good red blood a man has a weak heart and poor nerves. Thinness of the blood, or anaemia, is common in young folks as well as old. Especially is it the case with those who work in illy ventilated factories or those who are shut up indoors in winter time with a coal stove burning up the oxygen or emitting carbonic foxide) gas. This Mood, or blood which lacks the red blood corpuscles, in anaemic people may have been caused by lack of good fresh air breathed into lungs, or by poor digestion or dyspepsia. Sometimes people suffer intense pain over the heart which is not heart disease at all, but caused by indigestion. Whatever the cause, there's just one remedy that you can turn to knowing that it has given satisfaction for over 40 years. D R PIERCE'S GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY is a blood cleanser and alterative that starts the liver and stomach into vigorous action. It thus assists the body to manufacture rich red blood which feeds the heart nerves brain and organs of the body. The organs work smoothly like machinery running in oil. You feel clean, strong and strenuous instead of tired, weak and faint. Nowadays you can obtain Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery Tablets, as well as the liquid form from all medicine dealers, or tablets by mail, prepaid in $1 or 50c size. Adress R. V. Pierce, M.

Kan., May 29. According to C. C. .Isley of Cimarron, owner of a big- string of lumber yards through the Arkansas valley, beet growers throughout the Arkansas valley are panic stricken over the prospect of free sugar under the proposed tariff schedule. "The beet sugar Industry is primar ily the business of the small town, said Mr. Isley. "The sugar must be manufactured within fifty miles of the fields because of the bulk of the beets and high freight rates. "The beet industry has boomed the little cities of western Kansas more than any industry ever attempted there," Mr. Isley continued. "In the last six years the bank deposits of Deerfield, Lakin and Garden City have Increased over 400 per cent. "The tariff on sugar is the only tar iff of particular help to the west," he said, "and from it the west derives its only benefit for money put up to pro tect eastern industries. Every north ern state west of the Alleghany moun tains has beet sugar factories except Missouri and the Dakotas and within fifteen years the beet sugar output of these states has Increased from 30,000 to 600,000 tons yearly." The suspicion that the sugar inter ests In Kansas are owned by a trust is absolutely unfounded, according to Mr. Isley, who claims to be person ally acquainted with the men who own these interests.

Leavenworth, Kan.. May 29. A new problem will confront the Kansas of cials in regard to the liqour business, provided the scheme of an Oklahoma man is carried out. A man giving his name as James Snyder came to Leav enworth and called at a factory for amusement devices. Snyder's scheme was to have two pipes laid under the Missouri river, connecting Leavenworth with Drydale, the saloon town in Platte county. Slot machines would be placed in this city. When a man became thirsty all he would have to do would be to drop a nickel in the slot, which would travel through the pipes to a saloon across the river. A glass of beer then would be carried back through pipes to the patron. Snyder says that he is determined to carry out his scheme, although he was offered little encouragement. SOLDIERS IN MOVIES.

Edward Nelson, the 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Nelson, tenants on the August Hedberg ranch, thirteen miles southwest of Winona, was found dead in one of the barns Tuesday evening, death evidently was caused by stran gulation. The boy had taken a short piece of rope with a nail fastened in one end bent ihto a hook, and making a loop about his neck, placed the hook over a board partition only about five feet high, 'drew up his feet, and hung there until life was extinct. The hanging occurred in the evening and members of the family testified at the inquest that they had seen the boy alive and walking toward the barn not over 2 5 minutes before the body was discovered. It would appear that the dead boy had made his arrange ments carefully and deliberately, and chose a time when his absence would not be noted particularly. Dave Elmborg of Winona, deputy sheriff, was summoned and went at once to the scene. A coroner's jury was empaneled, but no cause for the boy's ghastly act was found. CELEBRATION AT OSAGE CITY.
