Following are named as defendants. Eastman Kodak company of New Jersey; Eastman Kodak company of New York; George Eastman, Henry A Strong, Walter S. Hubbell, and Frank S. Noble, all of Rochester, N. i. The bill, filed by United States At torney O'Brian, is the result of an ex tensive investigation of the "trust' by James A. Fowler, assistant to the at torney general, and Clark McKercher, special assistant attorney general. Mr. McKercher is in immediate charge of the suit. The alleged monopoly has been ac complished, the petition declares by the Eastman company's absorbing or acquiring control of a great number of competitors in the United States and foreign countries. The bill cites the number of photographic manufac turing and marketing companies which with their patents have been acquired by the Eastman companies. Restraints, the government de clares, have been imposed upon busi ness of competing manufacturers and dealers by the combination's "terms of sale," under which. Eastman-made goods were handled exclusively by so called Eastman dealers, who were not allowed to handle the goods of com petitors until November, 1911, when the "terms of sale" were amended to restrict only Eastman goods manufact ured and marketed under existing patents. The "terms of sale" also iixed resale prices. Injunctions are asked for, against those practices. Complaint also is made that certain large retail stores, houses owned by the Eastman companies, are conduct ed under the names of the original owners as competitors of the "trust." Unfair competition is charged through the alleged practice of the Eastman companies in marketing through one of its competitors, the defender company) Rochester) a cer tain film, as if it were the product of an independent, suppressing the fact that it is made by the combination. It is alleged that the General Paper com pany of Germany, the world's greatest producer of raw photographic paper, sells raw paper in the United States at a discount to the Eastman com panies and refuses to supply other dealers in this country. The Eastman Kodak company of New Jersey, a hold ing company, has an authorized capi tal of $35,000,000 of which $26,000,000 has been issued. The Eastman Kodak company of New York, the operating company of the combination, is a $5. 000,000 corporation, manufacturing and marketing photographic supplies. Rochester, N. Y., June 9. The East man Kodak company will adjust its methods of doing business to meet the charges preferred against the com pany in the government dissolution suit, filed today at Buffalo, George Eastman, president of the company so announced here today, upon receipt of the news that suit had been begun. Mr. j Eastman, indicated, however, that the company would refuse to dissolve. "While in the formal part of the petition filed by the government. thcr- is a prayer for dissolution, as is usual, I am informed in all such cases," said Mr. Eastman, "I believe that full com pliance with the main specific demands for changes of trade methods freely of fered by this company will successfully meet all criticisms and satisfy the trade at large and the government. "Aside from the economic principles which would be violated by such disso lution, it can clearly be shown that if the United States is to keep its lead in the photographic art which it has maintained for the last twenty years and meet competition in the markets of the world, the co-ordination of the manufacture of films, plates, papers and cameras must be continued. No concern that is unable to furnish pro ducts in all of these lines, adapted one to the other, can hope to compete with the great foreign manufacturers who are straining every effort in similar directions." In compliance with the governments petition, the company, according to Mr. Eastman, intends hereafter to operate its various retail stock houses under its own name and add its name to their stationary department. Also it will put its name upon its stencil goods and abandon its "exclusive sales policy." "One of the main points of this policy (respecting dealers in our patented goods handling no other similar goods) has been to prevent the substitution of goods that are inferior to ours to unsuspecting customers." said East man. "However, desiring to avoid a Ions and expensive litigation, the waste of time of our most important men. and the unsettling of normal business conditions, e are willing to meet the wishes of the government, even on this point." PREDICTFROSTS "Weather Bureau Forecasts Frosts Over Wide Area. Coldest Weather Ever Record ed During June. Washington. June 9. The coldest weather ever recorded during June in the middle Atlantic and New England states, the Ohio valley and the great lakes region was reported today to the weather bureau. The gulf states are the only territory east of the Rockies to escape an unseasonable drop. "A high barometric pressure of great magnitude" is the official reason frosts are reported from Vermont, central New York, New England, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Frosts are predicted for tonight in the great lake regions, the upper Ohio valley, the north Atlantic states and the mountain districts in the middle Atlantic states. Many places in Pennsylvania re ported frost this morning, a June con dition almost unknown in this state. The weather bureau received reports of a heavy frost at Scranton, Pa. At Harrisburg and other central parts of the state light frost was reported. The minimum temperature in Philadelphia was 4 7 degrees, within one degree of the lowest ever recorded in June by the weather bureau. Forty degrees was registered in some parts of the interior of the state. IS SUFFRAGE MARTYR. Emily Wilding Davison First of Eng lish Militants to Give Life. London, June 9. Emily Wilding Dav ison, the first martyr to the militant ef forts of women to obtain the suffrage died oday at the Epsom hospital as the result of a fracture of the skull sustained in an attempt to stop the king's horse Anmer. during the running of the derby on Wednesday last. Only the matron of the hospital and two nurses were present at the deathbed. Miss Davison's relatives had left the building when told that there was no hope of her regaining consciousness. A few moments before her death two comrades draped the screen surround ing the cot with the colors of the Women's Social and Political union, which she wore when she made her sensational attempt to interfere with the great classic of the British turf. Miss Davison had evidently expected to gain the track at Tattenham corner in time to intercept and scatter the field, but was detained a moment by a spectator who tried to restrain her. She reached the track in time to be struck by the king's horse, which was running in the ruck. The woman turn ed a complete somersault, coming down across the legs of Jockey Jones, who had been left prone and unconscious after the fall of his mount. She' struck on her head and it was believed at first that her thick hair had saved her from more than a concussion, but a later examination showed a fracture of the base of the skull. An operation was performed, but the case was hope less. Miss Davison was noted for her dar ing feats in behalf of militancy. One of her earliest exploits was to barri cade herself in a cell and she was only subdued with the aid of a Xre hose. On another occasion she cast herself down a flight of stairs in jail and was seriously injured. She was one of the most persistent invaders of the House of Commons, which she gained at one time by way of the air shaft. Her last exploit be fore the fatal Epsom incident was the assaulting of a Baptist clergyman in the belief that he was Chancellor Lloyd-George. Weather Forecast for Kansas.

Conspiracy Restraint of Trade Charge Against Miners. LABOR MONOPOLY ALLEGED Attorney General Didn't Know Indictments Considered. Head of Department Gets In formation From Newspapers. Washington, June 9. Attorney Gen eral McReynolds today is awaiting an official renort from United States At- 1 torney Waugh regarding the indictment on Saturday of officials and members of the West Virginia coal fields in vio lation of the Sherman anti-trust law. Officials at the department of justice declare that the publication of the in dictments in the newspapers was the first word they had of the prosecution. Usually in such important cases, it was pointed out. United States attor neys consult Washington before insti tuting proceedings, especially under the Sherman law. It is believed the attor ney general will now begin a careful analvsis of the evidence and de termine whether the case, especially in view of the senate's inquiry in the West Virginia fields, is of sufficient gravity to justify prosecution. Charleston. W. Va., June 9. John P. White, president of the international organization of the United Mine Work ers of America; Vice President Frank J. Haynes and 17 officials and subordi nate officers of district No. 17, the local miners' union, indicted by the federal grand Jury, charged with viola tion of the Sherman anti-trust law, will be summoned to appear before Judge Benjamin F. Keller early this week. The government, it is said, will ask that the trial proceed at once.' The indictments and allegations that there is a conspiracy in restraint of trade and commerce between the Uni ted Mine Workers of America and coal operators of western Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois against the West Virginia coal operators have caused a profound sensation. While the names of the witnesses who ap peared before the federal grand jury in the case have not been made public, it is known that coal operators of Paint Creek and Cabin Creek, where labor troubles hare been abundant, and for mer officials of the miners' organiza tion, assisted in gathering information for the indictment. The defendants are charged with at tempting to create a monopoly of the labor market by fixing prices and re fusing to allow members of the or ganization to work at lower wages. It is alleged the union prohibits men from working who are not members of the organization and that the miners officials conspired to unionize the coal mines of West Virginia and to so fix the cost of producing coal in Wet Virginia as to give an advantage to the producers of western Pennsyl vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. It is charged the mines in the last four states are already unionized and the United Mine Workers of America con trol wage scales, and that the defend ants conspired wSth coal producers of western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to give them a monopoly of the coal trade in the great lake region and other western markets. Governor H. D. Hatfield of West Virginia, on the eve of the senatorial investigation into the mine and labor troubles in that state, made a state ment in which he said "I know nothing about the intention of the senate investigating committee, as they have not in any way communi cated with me. notwithstanding I wired Senator Goff several weeks ago that I should be very glad to assist the committee in any way I could and of fered them a suitable room in the capitol from which to conduct the in vestigation. "The indictments against the Mine Workers' officials in the federal court came as a complete surprise to me. As to conditions in the Paint and Cabin Creek coal fields, the civil au thorities have absolute control and have had for some time." Washington, June 9. Confronted by a complicated situation, constant ly growing more involved, the senate subcommittee named to investigate West Virginia coal strike conditions, will leave for Charleston tonight. Examination of witnesses will begin Tuesday with the appearance of scores of miners, rounded tip by the agents of the United Mine -Workers, to testify in relation to charges that the workers in the Paint Creek and Cabin Creek coal fields are kept in a stage of virtual peonage. Senator Borah of Idaho, who has especial charge of this branch of the investi gation, will hear the first witnesses. Paul J. Paulsen of the United Mine Workers has been in West Virginia for a week collecting the witnesses, and it is expected he will have on hand about 100 men to give their ex periences. They will be followed by witnesses testifying as to alleged in terference with the postal service by mine guards, violations of the immi gration laws, the shipment of arms and ammunition into the strike terri tory and the "arrest, trial and con viction of citizens in violation of the constitution or laws." The announcement of the indict ment in the federal courts of officers of the United Mine Workers charged with having conspired with coal oper ators in Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois to embarrass West Vir ginia mine owners by promoting the strike and the news of further labor outbreaks in the New River coal field of West Virginia, have further com plicated the strike situation since the senate passed its resolution authoriz ing tbe inquiry. The charge of con spiracy on the part of operators in ether states to cause trouble in the West Virginia field is one of the points embraced in the senate resolu tion and the indictment may force the senators to limit materially their ef forts on this print. BURNING AT SEA Garbled Wireless Message Hints of Sea Disaster. lVas Trying to Reach Port Is Last Word IteceiYed. New York, June 9. A'o further ad vice had been received here this morn ing regarding the steamship Olinda of the Munson line, reported- afire at sea, presumably somewhere off the coast of Georgia. It was thought here that she was heading, tgn-- either 8a.-. vannah or Brunswick.' 'Officers of the line received two wireless messages, but both were garbled and gave no information other than that there was a fire in No. 1 hold and that the vessel was making for port. The Olinda left here last Friday with passengers and merchandise for Cuban ports. She is a schooner, rig ged steel, single screw steamer, built in 1887, and is owned by the Cuban Marine company of Havana, by which she was chartered to the Munson line. She is 309 feet long, has a 40 foot beam, 22 foot depth of hold, and 1,492 net tonnage. In the absence of details, officials of the Munson line believed the Olinda might head for Charleston, S. C, and that she probably would arrive there tomorrow morning. The Olinda, pri marily a freighter, had aboard a crew of 51 and six passengers, four of whom are Cubans. Little apprehension is felt here re garding the Olinda's safety. If the fire is confined to No. 1 hold there is but slight prospect of real danger, as the cargo in No. 1 is brick. COURT FREES7IVE United States Snpreme Court Sets Aside Convictions. Heads of "Turpentine Trust" IVill Not Go to Jail. Washington. June 9. The conviction of five officials of the American Naval Stores company, "the turpentine trust" for alleged violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. was today set aside by the supreme court because of erron eous instructions of the trial judge. Justice Pitney was the only dissenter to the opinion. Officials of the depart ment of justice, however did not regard the decision as one generally unfavor able to the criminal section of the Sherman law. They never considered that they had a strong case. Edmund P. Nash. president of the company had been fined $3,000: J. F. Cooper Myers, vice president fined $2, 500 and sentenced to jail for three months: Spencer P. Shotter, chairman of the board, fined $5,000 and sentenced to jail for three months: George Meade Boardman. treasurer, fined $2. 500 and Carl Moller. manager of the Jacksonville branch fined $5,000. All these sentences were set r.side. Shot ters and Myers' cases were the first convictions for violation ofthe Sherman anti-trust law carrying jail sentences to come before the Supreme court. The trial judge instructed the jury that a conviction could be had if the defendants were found guilty of "any" of the means charged to the effect of a monopoly. One of these means. Jus tice Holmes said in announcing the court's decision, was an offense which would rot be a restraint of trade but mere cheating, punishable by state la ws. In announcing the court's decision Holmes said that the rule of reason arnounced in the Standard Oil decision did not make the forbidden acts so indefinite as to make the Sherman anti-trust law as a criminal measure unconstitutional. Wants Court to Reconsider. Washington. June 9. Application for a reconsideration of the recent de cision of the supreme court in up holding cut rates on patented articles was asked today by the owner of the patented article which figured in the recent decision. UPH0LDSWILS0N Investigation Proves His Lob by Charge Correct. Powerful Influences Work on Tariff Legislation. LAWS AGAJNST LOBBYISTS To Draw Line Between Right and Wrong Methods. "Insidious Methods" Illustrated by Senator Reed. Washington, June 9. When the last senator had testified today before the special committee hunting for "the lobby," it was predicted at the capitol that the report of the Investigators would substantially uphold President Wilson's declaration that powerful In fluences have been at work in Wash ington attempting to affect congress on the tariff bill. Whether it will be shown that "insidious methods have been used," or that improper in fluences have been exerted upon sen ators will depend upon the evidence of the next few days when the com mittee examines a score or more of men, who have called on senators or directed publicity campaigns. The committee undoubtedly will recom mend restrictive legislation of a strong character. It will attempt to draw a clear distinction, however, between an organized campaign to change public opinion, or influence senators against their judgment, and the legitimate presentation of arguments and facts by officers or representatives of in dustrial concerns affected by legisla tion. The senate's lobby hunt plung ed into its second week today. Less than a dozen senators remained to be examined before the committe took up another trail and began calling a score or more of men mentioned in the testimony of senators as being on one side or the other of the free sugar fight, or of being attorneys or special representatives in Washington. It was admitted on all hands that the investigation already had out grown its original bounds. It origin ally was intended to develop evidence concerning the influences President Wilson charges were being brought against the tariff bill, but the testi mony of senators has broadened the scope of the Inquiry to touch many subjects. Under the extension of tine granted by the senate. Chairman Overman's committee expected to de velop all the new phases. President Wilson told callers today he expected tha lobby Investigation to Have beneficial '"'results through' the publicity given to the conditions sur rounding the making of the tariff. AVhen asked his opinion for the charge made by Senator Townsend as to his influence with reference to legislation, the president replied it needed no com ment. Senator Reed said he had no personal connections affected by the tariff and had talked reduction to all his brother senators whenever possible. He did not know any lobbyist, at least in a way to associate names and faces, and had not been subjected to any attempts at influence, and knew nothing of any use of money Improperly, but was certain, however, that a new system of at tempting to influence legislation had risen in this country. He illustrated by telling the committee about tele grams from horse and mule dealers in St. Louis saying: "Please vote for a duty on sugar; it is very necessary to preserve the mule Industry of Missouri." "It is plain to me that sugar planters were seeking to influence the men from whom they bought mules," said he. "Judging from these circumstances and others. I believe there is a system growing up by which attempts are made to reach representatives or sen ators by indirect methods. It begins through business connections and final ly they find some one in the district of a representative, and through him make an appeal to local citizens, and have them send letters or telegrams appealing in behaU of the people of the state. As a matter of fact. it is an appeal from the people; but a sel fish appeal. I don't tnink this has been confined to tariff legislation. I think a strong effort is being made here to affect the passage of the tariff bill or effect a modification of it. How strong it is I do not know." "'How many senators of the seventy you have heard testify do you think have been improperly influenced?" asked Senator Nelson. "None." "You think senators so far have been immune from the serious infec tion of the lobby?" "I think that for many years the majority in congress may have been influenced by argument put forth by selfish interests and that many sena tors have been influenced by. them. That was when the lobby flourished in Washington like the 'green bay tree.' "The country does not need any pro cessional lobbyists," he said. "I be lieve in the right of a litigant in court to come himself or send his attorney and make his showing and then go home and not stay and try to get pri vate conferences with members of the court. It is a very unpleasant thing when "congress is in session that in terests send representatives to the capital to open headquarters, employ clerks and fasten themselves there like barnacles. Lobbying is the business of changing votes. The men who come here all want to get something by vir tue of law or maintain some advantage they have got." (Continued on Page Six.) WINGFIELD'S TEETH? False Set Found Which Are Believed Caused Legal Fight. Junction City, June 9. A set of false teeth, found this week on the farm of the late Jesse Wingfield by tenants, are believed to be the miss ing set that formed the basis of a damage suit in the district court here. Several years ago Mr. Wingfield awoke one morning and declared that he had swallowed his false teeth. He was choking and was apparenty in great agony. Local physicians ex amined him, and it was thought that they could feel the teeth in his throat. He was taken to Topeka, where an X-ray examination was made. This, It was thought, showed that the teeth had slipped down and were lodged in the stomach. An operation was performed in To peka, but no teeth were found. Mr. Wingfield died a short time afterward and the family sued the Junction City and Topeka physicians for damages. At the first trial a demurrer was sus tained, but the decision was reversed by the supreme court. A second trial here resulted in a hung Jury. By that time th case became so famous local ly that few people had not heard of it, and it was transferred to Council Grove by common consent. Before it went to trial there, the case was set tled outside of court. The teeth found on the farm are supposed to be those of the late Mr. Wingfield, and It Is thought that he lost them on the way home from a visit with neighbors, and did not miss them until the following morning, when he found them gone and be lieved he had swallowed them. The Wing-fields contended in their suit that he had never swallowed the teeth. ARMY MEN WORRY Increased Difficulty in Securing Enlistments s Troubles Dept. May Appeal jto Congress and Ask Amendment to Laws. Washington, June 9. Increasing diffi culty in securing enlistments for the army is becoming so grave that an appeal may be made to congress by the secretary of war to amend the ex isting enlistment laws if the army is to be kept up to its normal strength. The reports indicate an unwillingness among the young men of the country to contract away their time for a per iod as long as seven years even after it is explained to them that only four of these years must be spent with the colors. With growing demands for troops for garrison duty in Hawaii and the canal zone and for the recruitment of the existing regiments up to the full strength this failure of the recruiting service is giving 'serious concern to army officers. U. S. RESPONSIBLE Senora Madero Says Carranza Will Win. Says United'States Ts "Honest Family Will Get Dues. New York. June 9. "The United States government is responsible for the death of my husband, because its ambassador is morally responsible for his murder," said Madame Sara Perez De Madero, widow of the slain presi dent of Mexico, when informed of Mrs. Wilson's statement regarding events near the close of the Madero regime in Mexico. "Mrs. Wilson's comments on my husband deserve no reply and person ally she ought to be treated with silent contempt. Yet, for the public's sake I will answer her. "She says that I am sending the blood money paid mo in insurance down to Mexico to help the continu ance of the revolution by Carranza and that in doing this I intend to re turn to power, either socially or diplo matically. I received only $11,500 in insurance and not one cent of that, or of any other money has been sent any where by me or by my family. Still, if I could aid the cause of Catranza by sending him money he could cheer fully have every penny I own. "The American ambassador refused to save my husband's life. I got down on my knees to Ambassador Wilson and begged him to give my -husband the protection of the United States government. He was a prisoner in the palace then. The ambassador turned to me and said: I do not care to take such re sponsibility upon myself or my office.' "Almost immediately thereafter my husband was murdered in cold blood. I implored Mr. Wilson to send Presi dent Taft a telegram asking for pro tection and he refused. That is why I say to the world that Mr. Wilson is morally responsible for the murder. "Carranza will win and when he does we will return. Mexico Is our land. The United States does not rec ognize the Huerta government because it is a murderous government. "The United States is fair and hon est and justice must come to us sooner or later." IT WILL WARM UP. Straw hats will be in season again Tuesday. It has been cold in Topeka for several days, but the weather man gives assurance of a rise in tempera ture Tuesday. Fair weather is an ticipated in the eastern portion of Kansas tonight and Tuesday, but pos sible showers in the western section of the state.

Santa Fe, and Not Sublette Wins Has kell County Seat Fight. Santa Fe will remain as the county seat of Haskell county and published reports to the effect that the supreme court awarded the court house to Sub lette were erroneous. Twelve votes lost the fight for Sublette, a little town on the new Santa Fe road from Dodge City to Hugoton. The decision of the supreme court Saturday in the Santa Fe-Sublette case concluded another chapter in the book of countyseat wars in the formerly railroadless counties of southwestern Kansas. Jealous of prosperous Santa Fe, the Sublette followers filed peti tions for a countyseat election. The law says that 60 per cent of the peo ple voting on a countyseat proposition that requires the removal of build ings, must vote for the issue. Sublette fell just 12 votes short of that required three-fifths vote. While the- case was still pending' in the courts, the new railroad through Haskell county touched' the townsite of Sublette and immediately Sublette began an unprecedented boom. Santa Fe, just over the hills six miles to the west, began an exodus to the only town in Haskell county that was on the railroad map. About everything in Santa Fe except the courthouse was removed. But the courts held for Santa Fe and the countyseat will re main in the old location. But Sub lette has won the railroad and with her increasing population and new prosperity, reports from the south west country indicate that she plans to soon demand another election and at that time hopes to land those re quired 12 votes necessary to secure the courthouse. NO EXTRA SESSION. Mexican Congressman Among Oon.tit uenls and Oppose Huerta. Mexico City. June 9. There !s 8e cided opposition on the part of a num ber of deputies to having an extra session called by President Huerta for Monday next, although the matters to be discussed are of paramount impor tance, one being a domestio 120,000. 000 bond issue, and the other the au thorization of the payment of a 3. 000,000 indemnity for the Torrean Chinese massacre. Since congress adjourned last 'week, members have scattered throughout the. republic, some going to the United States at once. It will be Impossible to get a quorum by Monday In any event, if they decide to meet at all, which is doubtful. Many of the depu ties are opposed to Huerta and are glad of the opportunity to frustrate his plans by remaining among their constituents, where they may do much mischief. This latest phase of the compter po litical situation is giving grave con cern to the government. Brilihli Statesman Die. London, June 9.

THE TOPEgA DAILY STATE JOtfrm a t-MONDAY' EVENING. JUNE 9,1913- Appear to Be Class of Junior Major League. Phillies Lead National, but Giants Are Coming, Strong. New York, June 9. One of the ax ioms ot the sporting world is that champions, once defeated never- come back. Heretofore tradition and history have backed up this truism manfully. An exception will have to be made in the case of baseball and Connie Mack's Athletics, unless the other seven clubs In the American League combination fall on the Mackmen enmasse. At the rate the Philadelphia team of the American League, is traveling, the Ban Johnson pennant for 1913 will be won some time about August 11 and two and one-half months be given the Ath letics to prepare for the world's series. When the baseball week ended Sun- I day night the Athletics had Just scored their thirteenth consecutive victory and were "cantering under wraps," to use a turf expression. At this stage of the race the Athletics appear to have everything that goes to make a win ning team. All opposing teams look alike to the Athletics and it will re quire a concerted attack to check their winning play. The other clubs apparently realize this, for they are making desperate efforts to strengthen their weak spots. Meanwhile, the Athletics are well out In the lead with Cleveland following. "While there was no change in the order of ranking in the Junior league, there was evidence that several of the clubs can be counted upon to offer strong resistance to the flying leaders in the near future. In the National League, the New Tork Giants playing at a steady 750 clip, passed Brooklyn and went into second place. McGraw evidently feels that the trading of Ames. Groh and Devore left him rather weak in sub stitute lnflelders, for he purchased "Harvard Eddie" Grant from Cincin nati, where he had been acting as utility man. The Phillies at the week end still held a lead over 100 points over the Giants. Both Brooklyn and Pittsburg were unable to stop their winning career. The Pirates, with "Babe" Adams on the mound, brought about their only defeat, Brooklyn's only victory came with Rucker in the box against Cincin nati Thursday. The team failed to give their twirlers good support in other games, consequently their drop to third place is not a mystery. Chicago found Boston a hard proposi tion and the best Evers' men could do was to get an even break in four games. The one game edge for the weekwas gained from St. Louis; Pitts burg Just held its own and but for two wins from Boston early in the week would have shown poorly as the result of the upset against the Phillies. St. Louis won its only game of the week on Wednesday, when the Cardi nals drove Christy Mathewson from the box with a series of slams that startled beth the "fade away" artist and his team mates. The progress of the pennant chase in the National League is shown by the following: Team nayea. won. xxsi. first game of the series. The followers of the blue have high hopes that she will wind up a phenomenal season by taking another game from Princeton and also the series with Harvard next week. In the event of blue victories in these contests the eastern college champion ship will be decided beyond doubt. Should Tale lose either or both series. many followers of college baseball would still concede the championship to the blue nine. Brown still holds a place next to Tale in unofficial calculations aa to the ranking of the eastern college nines. Harvard hopes to usurp this place as the result of the Tale series. The season closed for many of the college nines last week and the end will come for others during the pres ent week. Long standing rivalries or sectional championships are being set tled with nearly every game. SKIPPER FOR UPTON. LOCKOUTTIN K. C. Contractors' Association and Trades Council Warring.

Work on a number of big construction works here was at a standstill, and accord ing tQ the estimates of contractors fully 4,000 men are idle today as a result of a labor fight Saturday night when 250 contractors, members of the Building Construction Employers association declared a lockout against the members of the Building Trades Council. Officials of the employers associa tion said the order of lockout was be ing obeyed generally and on several Jobs non-union men already had been employed They said no talk of com promise or arbitration would be lis tened to and nothing but the absolute ousting of the Building Trades Coun cil from the labor situation here would settle the trouble. L. E. Seib erlings, secretary of the council said at noon he had received no official notification of the lockout. He said the council had appointed a commit tee to visit the various works this af ternoon and that upon the large Jobs where council members were laid off pickets would be stationed, not to cause trouble, but merely to keep in touch and report upon the situa tion. At the time of the announce ment of the lockout the contractors had grown we.ry of being delayed by paltry strikes caused by inter-union quarrels among members of the Trades Council, and had decided that nothing could bring these bickerings to a close save the absolute "freezing out" of the council. The Internatlon al Bricklayers union, which is not af filiated with the council, Joined the contractors in the fight. MANY APPLICANTS. They Want the Vacant Place on Prison Board. machine for $50.

Tale and Princeton Contend Cham pionship Involved. Boston Mass., June 9. The last fortnight of the college baseball season in the east opened today with a fea ture contest not on the early schedules the second game of the annual series between the ancient rivals, Princeton and Yale. Today's game, staged at Princeton, came over from last week as a, result of the six inning scoreless tie of Satur day the finish of which was prevented Chicago, June 9. When John Ed gar Dean, insurance clerk, proposed to Miss Nulia Buck, about seven years ago, he was accepted upon condition that he become a minister. No amount of argument would change her mind. Then Dean began to study and at tended Bible school. On Saturday he was ordained a cler gyman in the Methodist church. They were married yesterday at Evanston, a suburb. Young Japs Declare for War. Tokio, June 9. A mass meeting of an organization known as the "Anti American Youths' Association," was sparsely attended. Bellicose speeches were made but the orators were of no prominence, being for the most part agitators attached to the opposition parties. The speeches were mostly de voted to attacks on the ministry, and a resolution which was adopted urged immediate war against the United States. Many Kansas Democrats are in the race for the place on the state penal board, left vacant by Thomas W. Mor gan or Ottawa, wno was tms ween appointed to the wardenshlp of the fed eral penitentiary at Leavenworth. Ma jor McClaughry, wno has neia tne place for a number of years and has been mentioned for Morgan's place on the penal board, is probably disquall fled and cannot serve. If McClaughry is a resident of Kansas at all, he is a resident of Leavenworth county and the Kansas law does not permit a res ident of a county in which one of the institutions is located to serve on the board. The Kansas state penitentiary is lo cated in Leavenworth county, in which county is also located the federal prison. Since McClaughry's residence would be in that county, if in the state at all, he could not hold the appoint ment under the state law, it is claimed. However, there is a long list of Kan sas Democrats who are applicants for Morgan's place. Among them are; John Ashcroft, Hill City; S. Kuraner, Leavenworth; Taylor Riddle. Marion A. P. Elder, Ottawa; Ben F. Hilde- brand, Hiawatha, and George Harmon, Valley Falls. A lively contest for the place on the board of control, to be left vacant by Frank Brady of Oswego, Is also evi dent. Brady has been appointed as first assistant to Fred Robertson, the new United States district attorney, and will shortly resign. Among the candidates for Brady's place, who have already been suggested are: George D. Thompson of Iola, a cousin of United States Senator William H. Thompson, and William Bowes of Alma, who is also in the running. IS A VICTORY. John Dawson So Regards the Gas Decision. Kind Mastodon's Tooth. Emporia, Kan., June 9.

Mr. Wooster said it is a remarkable specimen, and that mastodon's teeth seldom are found in so perfect a state of preservation. The tooth weighs five pounds. Confederate Memorial Day. Washington, June 9. Confederate Memorial day exercises were held at Arlington cemetery, under the auspices of the southern organizations in Wash ington. The ceremonies took place in the Confederate section of the ceme tery and were featured by an address by Senator Swanson of Virginia, who dwelt upon the achievements of the Army of Virginia and the greatness of Robert E.

Dawson, who has returned from Kansas City, where he presented the state's side of the Kansas Natural Gas company's receivership case, believes that the state has won a great victory in the decision rendered by Judge Marshall and has no doubt tut that the ruling of the federal Judge will be upheld by higher tribunals. Tho result of the suit. Dawson de clares, should result in an ample sup ply of gas and the blocking for some years at least the Kansas Natural's at tempt to increase the rates to con sumers. Discussing the Marshall de cision today. Dawson said: Judge Marshall's decision is a sweeping victory for the state, and while the case will make plentv of work for the lawyers for a year or two, the public may confidently assume that the eighteen months' campaign of the gas company to exact higher rates is effectively blocked for a long time to come. The fact that for the time be ing the federal receivers remain in charge of the properties in Missouri and Oklahoma is not important. I think there is no property in Missouri to speak of. In Oklahoma, to be sure, are large sources of supply, but I am bound to believe the federal receivers will act on the square and -give us all the gas possible, while the state receivers who are thoroughly experienced gas men will probably enlarge and de velop the Kansas field. There is no danger of losing in the higher courts the victory the state has won before Judge Marshall. The Judge frankly said that his decision was reluctantly given but it was imperative in view of the long line of decisions of the United States supitme court supporting our contentions in this case." of the business structures on the public square, soon were destroyed with all their contents andthe entire northeast section of the square was in ruins.

Advance payment is requesieu on these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping expenses. Don't waste any sympathy on Uncle Joe Cannon. He is finding it fine not to be the goat any longer. It has now been demonstrated that a president can make his own mint bed and yet not have to lie in it. Anyway it is evident that Secretary Bryan is several laps of grape juice ahead of Colonel Roosevelt. Having put Oyster Bay on the map, the colonel has been generous enough to perform the same service for Mar quette. If those striking barbers in Boston really wish to do something desperate ly violent, they might tear up the Pucks and Judges. Robbers blew open the safe of a Standard Oil branch, but took no money. Evidently they were looking for gasoline. President Wilson is said to be fond of animals. Perhaps that Is the rea son he has established an office close to congress. There probably isn't a place that de serves to be more lonesome than Cape Horn will be after the Panama canal Is completed. It has been discovered that kero sene is useful in exterminating grass hoppers. Everything seems to come John D.'s way. The most unfortunate thing that has happened to President Wilson since his election is the effort of the Bull Moose to adopt him. Germany is thinking about prohibit ing rubber mouthpieces on nursing bot tles for sanitary reasons. Of course, they might make 'em of steel. The lady said to be 98 per cent beauti ful denies the report of her engage ment to a French count. Maybe the count is only about 2 per cent solvent. This is a queer world. Bishop Brent, who travels in the steerage because he thinks that Is the place for a bishop, Is considered a bit eccentric gust for that. Again has Missouri set her sister commonwealths an admirable exam ple. She is teaching her judges not to write their decisions in advance of the trials. The strongest peace move yet made is the refusal of European bankers to further finance government loans for military and naval purposes. The money bags are the real lords of peace and war. Mr. Bryan should do his missionary work among them. There have been Liberal Republi cans, Greenback Republicans, Free Silver Republicans, Progressive Re publicans and probably some other kinds, but it is the Republican Repub licans that have been doing business at Washington for half a century. Senator Bristow is quoted as saying: "My politics in future will be to stand for principle and not party. I am go ing to support the things that are right and that will bring this govern ment closer to the people. I shall vote with my party when It is right and when it is wrong, I will vote against it." But which is his party? B. P. Waggener has been accused of having a financial interest in the Hutchinson Gazette. A Gazette edi torial says that Congressman George Neeley is one of the brightest stars in the diadem, yet Mr. Neeley is the man who wants the government to fore close on the Central Branch. Atchi son Globe. That settles it. Mr. Wag gener stands acquitted. A patent dustless motor vacuum road cleaning machine has made its appearance in London. It consists of a suction machine containing a stiff brush which revolves at great speed close to the ground, thus creating the suction necessary to remove every particle of dust, mud, or refuse in the road over which it passes. The ref use is automatically deposited in a covered bin at the back of the car, and the suction is so great that mud is withdrawn from the crevices between the stone blocks with which some roads are laid. Some of the muddiest parts of the city were used for the purpose of showing the efficiency of the machine. Paper, tickets, and coins, as well as dirt, were gathered up by the road cleaner, leaving the surface of the road absolutely clean. CROWDED STREET CARS. The disposition manifested by statel and municipalities to hold corpora tions responsible for any unsatisfac tory condition in the public service received a Just rebuke recently in Detroit. The city council passed an ordi nance forbidding the overcrowding of street cars. As there were no officers appointed to enforce the ordinance, the city addressed a letter to the street railway company, asking it to see that its conductors saw to it that cars were not overcrowded. The company re sponded with the reply that its em plcyees. are not policemen and have no authority to enforce city ordi nances. To make it effective the com pany suggested to the city that the ordinance be amended so as to make it a misdemeanor for a passenger to board a full car and designating its conductors as special officers to en force the ordinance and arrest the offending passenger. This, of course, put on end to the matter. It would require a severe penalty rigidly enforced to prevent a passenger from boarding a street car, as long as he is able to obtain a toe hold, rather than wait for the next car. He prefers to hop on and after wards kick about the crowded condl tion which he has helped to create. NO CAUSE TO WORRY. Aviator Fowler, who flew across the isthmus, says he could blow up the Gatun dam with the utmost ease, and adds that he "would not fear to at tempt it at any time." He avers there in absolutely no protection. and "thinks the government has overlooked this possibility." At the same time James Arthurs, a sub-engineer, who recently worked on the canal, says that the work is in such condition, and has been for 18 months, that if an emergency should arise warships could pass through in 24 hours. The aviator and the sub-engineer, says the Pittsburg Post, are entitled to their respective opinions. There are a good many Americans gifted with sound horse sense who are not concern ed with these vaporings. There is one engineer who knows more about the canal than any other, and he is not talking about what can or cannot be done. When Colonel Goethals reports that the canal is ready for use the public will believe him, and they will give heed when he sounds an alarm about hostile aviators flying around with a stick of dynamite concealed un der the seat of the aeroplane. Only a few days ago a skilled blrdman was threatening to blow up Mexican cities and ships, but as yet the wires have ticked off no startling story. There is no occasion for haste in opening the canal before It is ready. and there is no occasion to fear any assault upon it by an aviator. While the gosslpers are busy with their pre dictions the canal builders are just as busy doing their legitimate work. PROTECTION IN A NEW FORM. While the Democrat administration is busy trying to rid "the country of one form of protection it is being urged to institute another, which could scarcely prove less objectionable. The independent tobacco companies are clamoring for a penalty in the form of increased taxes in proportion to output -on the trust product. The suggestion that the internal revenue tax on tobacco manufactures be graduated so that it shall increase with the output of the factories isJ avowedly for the purpose of hitting a blow at the large combinations which formerly were a part of the To bacco trust and giving a point of ad vantage to the lesser independents. The plan is urged by the latter on the plea that although the trust has been broken up, its parts are still of suf ficient size to control the market and competition is impossible without fur ther interference on the part of the government. Logically the plea leads to the proposition that the govern ment must maintain competition and, if necessary, must subsidize the little fellow, either directly or indirectly, by enforcing some handicap on the big enterprise. From protection against foreign competition are we to go to protection against home competition? If the policy is applicable to the manufacture of tobacco, it is appli cable to other industry. The mere fact that there happens to be an internal revenue tax on tobacco, which offers a handy method of administering this discriminating favor of the govern- ment. does not matter. The principle must apply to all trusts affected indus tries or commerce, and the government must find means for working it out. The strange thing about the situa tion is that the attorney general seems to favor the plan. Houses Without Nails. In Alberta, Canada, there is a, vil lage of houses which have been con structed without nails. As a matter of fact, little or no hardware of any character has entered into their con struction. These houses have been built by Ruthenian immigrants, and their architecture is quite novel. Their first attempts at house building are usually of the kind they had been ac customed to over in Europe, and their buildings are of the typical Ruthenian styles log, pitch roofed, thatched, and wide in the eaves. In many cases these buildings are put up without a dollar's worth of hardware. Even the door, an affair of slender twigs woven and laced together, swings on homemade hinges, and Is latched with a wooden hasp. The floor is of hewn logs, unnailed. The roof, as the favorite Russian roof al ways is, is a wonderful fabric of poles and cross-woven wheat straw, ten inches thick, narked tight and solid. and laid with such care that it will shed" the weather for twenty years. Detroit Free Press. JAYHAWKER JOTS A Peabody man has received a letter from the wealthy Russian who lan guishes in a .apanish prison. The Atchison Champion warns Shef field Ingalls that a nomination for of fice will catch him if he doesn't watch out. A farmer out In Clay county has run has automobile 75,000 miles in seven months and does not do his plowing with it either. A company has been formed for rais ing lemons in Pratt county. The in corporators are Miss Josephine Carver and Mr. Jack Lemon. D. T. Armstrong has retired from the editorial management of the Anthony Republican and has been succeeded by F. C. Mclntyre of Caldwell. The Holton Recorder proudly an nounces that it has installed a new Model 8 standard Linotype and invites everybody to come and see it. "Cousin Rip," says Buck Sawyer, "was about to hire himself out to work in the hay field. He asked the man how much he would pay him and the man replied 'I'll give you all you're worth.' Cousin Rip scratched his head and said: 'I'll be derned If I'll work for it." Blue Mound Sun. Historical note from the Lawrence Journal: "Wild Bill" started life in Montecello township, Johnson county. He was a quiet man and when after. wards he became famous his Johnson county friends did not believe it until they sent a- man out to Abilene to identify him. Wild Bill lived on a farm and showed no signs of caring to be a great fighter. Many questions are being asked, im pertinent and immaterial questions, as to who originally stole the silverware and things with Kansas City hotel marks on them that were re-stolen from a Lawrence frat house. No one stole them first. They got enthused at a football game held in Kansas City and left the hotel and followed the boys up to Lawrence. Lawrence Gazette. GLOBE SIGHTS BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE. As we struggle to press, the rats are gaining on the cats. It is hard to raise a prize fern and chil dren on the same premises. When a man gets sick, he is fairly sura to prefer his wife to his attimty. A plan to make the quarantine regula tion extend to the bores, gets our vote. There are a good many problems that won't be solved by problem plays. A bum sport is one who believes he al ways gets the worst of a trade, and says so. A deadbeat puts In much overtime at dodging, which doesn't pay price and a half. Assuming that this is the land of the free. Reno probably feels It should be the capital. Outside of the receiving end, no one can beat a slot machine except those who don't play it. An automobile is like a woman: when it is on the main street of the town a good deal It creates "talk." People get over grief prostration more frequently and thoroughly than they re cover from heat prostration. It is sometimes well to send Daughter away on vacation so Mother can get a little much needed rest. No young gent in a track suit will ever win a beauty prive, although he may com pete successively In other events. Hissing the villain in a show is applause of a kind, but it must be hard for the heavy actor to learn to enjoy it. Nearly every woman knows enough French to pronounce lingerie in the utter ly outlandish and correct manner set forth in leading lexicons. Nature, like the other big leaguers. breaks into the error column occasionally: The fool who rocks the boat frequently bas sense enough to swim. "I am always wanting something I can't afford. What, by the way, is it that keeps you poor, in case you belong to that ample majority?" Rule Hoskins. Short Jenks called at the Globe office today to deny that he had struck his wife with a hammer. He used -an iron poker, instead. The Globe regrets very much that it misrepresented Mr. Jenks. and gladly makes this correction. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. The trouble with the dead beat is that he never says die. It isn't always the big man who looks down on his neighbors. One thing that isn't to be made light of is a match-making mamma. You can tell that time is monev from the way people squander it. Don't try to put ud a bluff until vou have thoroughly tested the foundations. Blobbs "A fellow who is getting mar ried should look ahead." Slobbs "Yes. the bride thinks only of the present." Every grape has a seed, but it is reallv the juice that makes a fellow seedy. You never can tell about some people. Even a deaf man may have sound judg ment. Some people who think twice before they speak only succeed in saying some thing worse. It's the little things that count, but it is just as well not to let the big things get away irom you. Ridicule is a keen weapon. You can hurt most people more by laughing at them than by shooting at them. 'Marriage is a lottery," quoted the Wise Guy. And some people are never satis fied until they take four or five chances,' added the Simple Mug. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Busy hands can find their own mischief to do. Most of the entries In the human race are also-rans. The honesty of one man is often good policy for others. The under dog wants no sympathy; what he wants Is assistance. Sometimes a man is so shiftless that be isn't even a successful liar. His Satanic majesty offers women dia mond tiaras instead of halos. The man who doesn't get all that's com ing to him is generally lucky. And lots of men try to substitute other things for character in business. You may shut your eyes to your own faults, but the neighbors refuse to do like wise. A girl who fishes for compliments never makes a good catch unless she uses a landing net. In accord with the eternal fitness of things, a man with narrow shoulders ought to wear a broadcloth coat. We once heard of a man who kept his mouth shut and lived to regret it but we have never been able to secure the proof of the assertion.

The Lord Scully story is now on the second lap, but having tire trouble, and is about out of gasoline. The Marshall County News Is the latest victim, and credits It to "H. G.

And if after forty you look back upon an otherwise clean record to find a patch that represents your own failure to stick when "nights were thick and tracks were blind," you don't feel half a man. In all the material gains that eath- er about far-sighted selfishness, there is naught that compensates a man for tne lost privilege of saying that his friends found him a friend in need.

This man, who has won more than ordinary success, and whose name may yet be among those who stand high in the councils of the nations, knows the value of the friend who sticks. The friend worth having doesn't ask too many questions. He waits for no demands. It is not necessary to plead intimacy to invoke his aid. He does not concern himself with whys and wherefores.

Civilized man finds it difficult to make his way through life without a dozen pockets; the ordinary walking suit has fifteen. Civilized woman makes her way through life without pockets, de pending on a single bag carried in the hand. The professional humorists have never tired of commenting on woman's pocketless coadition, but it is really no laughing matter. Here is a sex difference which s something more than fashion, which goes to the very heart of the subjec tion of woman to man. If we accapt Spencer's definition of the evolutionary process as consisting in progress from an indefinite homegeneity to a definite heterogeneity, the superior position f man is at once established. His 15 di versified pockets, each allocated to a separate use watch, cigar case, pock et knife, purse, newspaper and pack age of garden seeds need only to be contrasted with the single recticule in which the female of the species stores away an unco-ordinated mass of hand kerchiefs, toilet articles, carefare, press clippings, telephone addresses, dres samples, confectionary, memorada and tradesmen's bills that have long been settled by check.

Charles Klngaley. THE EVENING STORY Pansy Love. (By Laura Adelia Kirkman.) Alicia looked at her engagement ring miserably. "From the size and beauty of Its stone one would think its purchaser the most liberal man in the world," she mused. "And he is in big things. In big things! Those three words comprised her unhappiness. For David was not consistently liberal; in little things he was what Alicia being a New Englander called "nigh." His Scotch blood had given him that one trait thriftlness In petty ways. To a girl as generous hearted as Alicia, this one unworthy trait seem ed to outweigh all his noble qualities She had learned his nature well enough to know that, after marriage, if he were to give her a nickel for the pur pose of buying a postage stanmp he would expect to have the remaining three cents returned to him. And I should loathe him then!" she said aloud. "No, I couldn't be nappy with such a man. If only only he were a little less generous in big things and a little more In small But what good did all this wishing do? For the past week she had done nothing but go over and over the sltua tion; now 'plainly, the only course to take was either that of acceptance or rebellion. She could not change this stolid Scot of hers. She must either take him or must leave him. For a long time she sat looking through the open window, over the shady veranda, down the path to the gate where the letter box stood. Should she rebel, and drop Into that box a let ter breaking off the engagement Should she take the ring from her finger, put it in a box and send it away forever? She decided but not without tears that she would that she must. "And at once, too," she said firmly, She knew that if she waited till the next time he- came to Glenville she might weaken and try to overlook his fault. She knew well what power he had over her when near that his Scotch-blue eyes, his splendid strength, his lightning-streaks of tenderness, held her in complete thrall. But I musn't marry him!" she re affirmed. "I couldn't be really happy with him. I only think I could be when he s near." She took the ring from her finger and placed It in a small, white box. Then hurriedly, she began her letter: Dear David I have come to the de cision that I can't marry you. I don't love you enough. When you are here. think I do, but when you are away from me, I know I don t. I m sorry, David. I should have told you long ago. I did not, because r was not sure. But now I am sure, and know I could not be happy with you. Penitently, Alicia. P. S. The ring, I shall mail as soon as I can get into town to regis ter it." Snatching an envelope, she addressed and sealed the note. Even now, she was half afraid of weakening and not sending It. after all. 'But I must!" she kept repeating. know I couldn't be happy with him, There'd be times when I'd loathe him. Money shouldn't enter into love; when it does, then that isn't true love think he must love pennies more than he loves me! Catching up the letter, she started for the mail box. But on the veranda steps she was detained. An old neighbor stood be fore her. "Good morning! It's not too early to make a call, is it." the woman was saying. "Land, but I'm out of breath. It's going to be a terrible hot day." Alicia sighed. She k.iew that for at least an hur she was to be held in the shackles of the town's greatest talker. "Not at all too early; I'm very glad you came, she struggled to answer politely. Her eyes fell on a bunch of pansies in the woman s hands. "Oh, how beautiful!" she exclaimed involuntarily. Alicia loved flowers. Her dead mother, before her, had loved them These pansies were the most beauti ful she had ever seen. "Yes, ain't they pretty?" chimed the pleased old woman. "Every one says to me: Mrs. Billings, you have the loveliest pansies I've ever seen.' You see I take more care of them than of any of my other flowers; I give them the richest earth and water them the most. But she dropped to a chair and leaned forward with a mysteriously confidential air I never told one of em why I take such care of my pansies! Not a soul knows why!" Alicia started. Something in the old woman's manner awakened real curiosity- within her. Remembering that the postman would not pass for half an hour. Ehe delayed mailing the letter, and sat down on the steps. "Are you going to tell me?" she asked, almost forgetting her unhap piness for a moment. Mrs. Billings thought for a time. Then she looked up and nodded. "I will tell you. You ain't the kind to gossip over things. It'll do me good to talk to somebody about my self. Why, I haven't talked about this since John died! A thrill of real sympathy shot through Alicia. She saw the loneli ness that had filled the years since the poor old woman had become a widow. "Tell me." she said softly, touching the pansy filled hands, "do you make real friends of the pansies is that what you mean? Do you sort of think they understand The gray head moved from side to side. Not quite. Of course they do mean a lot to me, but in the way of memo ries. It's quite a little fairy story, my dear. Yes, a fairy story with a real prince in it," She seemed to drift away into some land all her own. But soon she returned. "You see, John was not what the world calls a handsome man; he was pockmarked, and his eyes were very prominent, and he was oh, much shorter than I. None of the other girls in the village would have anything to do with him. They didn't think he was wonderful!" Again she drifted away Into fairyland.-

This time Alicia brought her back. Her voice came eagerly,. excitedly: "But you thought him wonderful? xou tnougnt he was handsome?" For some inexplicable reason her fingers were tightening on the letter so that It seemed as if she must de stroy its legibility. It came softly, caressingly: "Yes! I thought he was the best looking man in the world." "At first did you think so at first" Mrs. Billings hesitated. "Well, no," she admitted, "not at first. Not until he told me he loved me; then I began to see only his perfections, and to forget that he had what the world calls 'defects.' He had no defects, in my eyes, after I loved him. And here she stopped to smile at Alicia, plainly pleased by her eager interest, "here child, is where the pansies come In; he always called me 'Pansy.' You see, he thought I was making a sacri fice in marrying him. He said I was like the pansies, because pansies turn their faces to the sun and follow it wherever It goes as if they realize that their lives are short!" With the final words, she rose to her feet, dropped the bouquet on her chair, and started hastily down the steps. Evidently the recital of the long pentup memories had been too much for her fortitude. She walked swiftly down the path and out on the road. Alicia sat on the steps as if In a trance. Her eyes stared straight in front of her. Even the rattle of the mail carrier's wagon wheels failed to rouse her. But when the man had passed she came suddenly to herself. She snatched up the letter, which had fallen on the step beside her, and tore it into a thousand pieces. Then she sprang to her feet and raised her face to the bright morning sun. (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) EVENING CHAT MX HUTKCimaKOW. Accidents Will Happen. That we should hide our self-con ceit under a covering of modesty has long been as much an axiom of civili zation as that we should hide our bodies under a covering of clothes. And yet how often we unconsciously reveal ourselves in the stark naked ness of conceit. "I don't think we'd have half the divorces we do," says my neighbor, "if people only had a sense of humor. Now I make it a Plan to always .look for the funny side of things and I think I- avert a great deal of trouble that way." My neighbor's philosophy is most excellent, but I wonder if she realizes what an emphasis she puts on "Now uruinaniy she is a very diffident person rather too much so; she is always wishing she were as good or clever or as pretty as someone else. But once in a while she is be trayed into revealing' some of that normal self-conceit of which I believe every human being has more or less. no matter how thickly he overlays it with mock or real humility. l don't think Mrs. W. has iinv right to spend so much monev for clothes," says another neighbor in speaking of a friend who dresses ex travagantly. "Now, I believe in bcinar well dressed, but I don't put half my husband's salary on my back and keep him perpetually In debt." Again, in speaking of another friend who (ac cording to her) is inclined to be care less about her personal appearance, 'The Idea of her neglecting herself like that! Some day she'll be sorry. And I know she could dress decently If she'd only manage a little. Good ness knows I don't have any too much money to spend on my clothes, but I always make a great effort to look as well as possible. i Evidently this woman believes that she herself is the ideal, the happy mean between these two objectionable extremes. And yet if you should tax her with having a high opinion of her self she would be as astonished as she was indignant. We have all laughed at the old say ing "Accidents will happen in the best regulated of families; they do In ours." And yet most of us sometimes betray ourselves as blatantly as its author. Now, mind you, I am not protesting against mis instinctive seir-concelt. On the contrary, as I have said before, I think a certain amount of it Is nec essary to the happiness of the human race. I'm Just laughing with you at the amusing and ostrich-Ilke way In which we you and I and our neigh bors by a careless speech or even by a single inflection betray that which we are so anxious to hide. ON THE SPUR Of THE MOMENT BY ROY K. MOULTON. Optimist and Pessimist. The optimist says: "Go ahead, there's not a chance to lose; The time is now, and, on the dead. you really can t refuse. The pessimist says: "Wait a bit, and look before you leap; If there is any good in It, the chance will surely keep." The optimist sees but the sun, the pessimist the rain. The optimist prepares for fun, the pessimist for pain. The optimist pulls forward, and the pessimist pulls back, The one throws wide the throttle and the other sands the track. This world would be monotonous if folks were all the same. With no one 'round to raise a fuss. 'twould be a tiresome game. The optimist with his glad song, the pessimist so blue: We really couldn't get along unless we had the two. This, That and the Other. one of our valued contributors has sent in the following receipt for catching fleas, which will be of interest now that the flea season is upon us with both feet: Get a rope twenty feet long, toss one end of It in the air and leave it ther?. Fasten the other end of the rope to a stake. At the top of the rope is a cage. Scientists and bugologists tell us that fleas are very fond of cheese, so you place a piece of cheese in the cage. The flea Is walking along on the ground and when he gets to where the rope is he hears the cheese. So he climbs the rope, hand over hand, and when he reaches the top he enters the cage, but he knows not where to go therefrom. While the flea Is eating the cheese you place a dish of ice cream alongside of the stake. You than climb up the rope half way and cut a piece out of the rope, but the flea does not know this. He starts to climb down the rope and when he gets to the open space, which you have cut out, he fails into the ice cream and freezes to death. Another good way to exterminate fleas is to spread Japanese snuff on a large piece of cheese In the pantry. The flea sneezes itself to death. Still another way to exterminate fleas is to beat them on the bead with a sledge hammer. KANSAS COMMENT GRINDSTONE ACTIVITY. "Grindstones are active," reports a Washington government bulletin. This is important, if true. Time was. in our younger days, when we assisted at stated periods in the activity of the grindstone. We weren't trying to bull the market or anything of that sort, but followed a suggestion of our elders and made the movement in grindstones very brisk for a time. This was in the old boyhood days when turning grindstones was count ed an accomplishment for the boy. It was hardly the work for a matured man, as everyone who has grown from boyhood days to manhood will remember. There have been occasions, also, since that early day, when we have been led to turn the grindstone for the sake of sharpening the axe of some other person with more lofty ideals, or at least with a finer mixture of nerve. Grindstone turning at those times has come back to us as days of reminiscence, but we worked no hard er in the boyhood times, in making grindstone activity, than we've been worked since, in seeing that the axe of the other fellow was properly edged. So the government bulletin, telling that 'grindstones are active," Just le minds us that maybe there has been some time in recent years when they were not, but that time cannot be re called. Hutchinson News. WIDOWS' PENSIONS IN KANSAS. The board of charities in Kansas is urging the widow's pension on the only ground which appeals to the hard, headed taxpayer. That the child can be maintained at home with better moral results than at the charitable institutions, is a truth that makes no headway with the busi ness voters, but when it can be shown that the mother with four dollars a week for each dependent child can raise and educate the child cheaper by one dollar a week than can the state, the point is made and the pension will be forthcoming. The great difficulty with the pro-, gressive humanities now being discussed in literature and by sociologists, is that they seem to increase taxation. The business man who would given ten dollars to deserving charity. Is verv im patient with the customer who fails to pay a due account of twenty-five cents. It is not business to mix charity and business. In the same way the sren- erous man who would give a hundred dollars to a worthy cause, resents an increase of taxes forthat same cause. All the movements to better the con ditions of mankind must be put on the ground of economy, before they will meet general approval. If it is shown to be economy to maintain the child at home, instead of paying out more at me institution provided by taxation, then the taxpayer will say, pay the less sum to the mother and let her keep the child at home. Wichita Beacon FROM OTHER PENS WHAT OF IT? The Rev. Newell C wight HIllls predicts that Americans will have no hair In 150 years and that children as well as adults will be bald. If Dr. HIllls is trying to -scare .anybody, by making that statement, fie will not suc ceed. Men for years bave been discover ing that hair is not essential for the adornment or protection of the human skull. The number of citizens in thetr right minds who refuse to wear beards, mustaches or side whiskers is rapidly in creasing. The long silken whiskers that suggest too promptly an election bet are rarely seen nowadays, and then usually on men who avoid injury to collars in laundries by substituting beards for col lars and dispensing with ties. Ten years ago a dentist of big reputa tion asserted with considerable vehemence that within a hundred years the members of his profession would have nothing to do except make and repair artificial teeth, for humans would have no natural teeth. Some things might be said affirm atively as to the advantage of having that particular prophecy fulfilled. Predictions of that kind are interesting, but not necessarily Important. No more important is jjr. Minis earnest declara tion that 330 years from now the crazy will outnumber the sane and will incar cerate the latter in asylums. Hasn't Dr. HIllls set that achievement too far ahead? Has he given careful thought to all of the "movements" now moving from nowhere along ecentrlc lines to nowhere? Boston Traveler. THE CASE OF THE MIDDLEMAN.. Any attempt to place the producer of farm products In closer touch with the consumer the ultimate consumer we are always talking about is a recognition of the fact that a large part of the present high cost of living is owing to inter mediate profits extracted by distributing agents. Middlemen these agents are, and most of them are respectable business men, but If they can be dis pensed with In the Interest of economy they should not expect extended consid eration. Our present economic system entails hardships on all sides. The farmer does not get enouugh for his produce and the buyer for the home Is obliged to pay more than he can afford, and all because inter vening pockets muRt be filled. Nobody Is to blame for the present situation because it has developed naturally, but that is no reason for believing that it must endure forever. Instead it Should give way to any better arrangement which is based on me greatest good to tne greatest number. The middleman should not sulk over his ill luck, but should turn his energies tnte another direction and become a producer. At present he is only a toll station, and the American people do not like toll sta tions, and cannot afford to pay their ex actions. Boston Olobe. HUMOR OF THE DAY Why Lawyers Go "Dippy."

A writer in a current publica tion says of the preparation and construction of advertising "copy": "No feature calls for better art work, more faultless wording, more painstaking care of detail than does advertising. The necessity for say ing much in few words and for presenting facts strikingly has de veloped among those making a profession of writing advertise ments a clear and forceful use of English that might be studied with profit by the best writers." Did that phase of advertising ever occur to you as you read the ads in The State Journal. It's surprising how much real knowledge may be derived from the advertising matter that appears in the daily newspaper.

Judd, head of the school of education of the University of Chicago, and other prom inent educators, as being a broad minded man well fitted for the position. He will receive a salary of $4,200 a year: Superintendent Starr has been receivinar S2.750. There were many applicants for the position but none was as highly recom mended a.o Superintendent Wilson. B. Van Horn, chairman of the teacners committee of the board of education said: "We have procured the services of one of the biggest educators in tne west. The salary we expect to pay him low when the flattering recommenaa tions we have receivea are xancn iuiu consideration In the choice of a superintendent tne honrd irot the names of three leading superintendents of five states and then asleep the educational department of the state university, assisted by unan eellor Strong, to select the three with the highest rating. Superintendent Wilson was one of the three. Dr. Strong wrote as follows concern ncr SuDenntenaent vviison: "Mr. Wilson ranks among tne nrst 25 ritv superintendents of the whole country I wish to congratulate the To- Deka board of education in bringing Superintendent H. B. Wilson into Kan sas. There is no greater service a city can do than this importation of a man of deserved reputation and ideas. When a superintendent stands out beyond the important mastery of complex de tails of the modern city school super intendency, and uses his whol school system in successful exploitation of science, he becomes a marked profes sional man. Mr. Wilson has done this for both the high schools and grades of Decatur." Superintendent Wilson has been at the head of the Decatur schools for six years. Previously he held a similar position In Franklin, Ind., for five years. He is a native of the state of Indiana. Superintendent Wilson is the author of numerous valuable books of an educational nature. The following books are included in the list: "A Course in Nature Study for the Com mon Schools of Indiana;" "School Gar den Work in Indiana;" "The Value of Physical Training in Modern Educa tion;" "The Problem of Professional Training for High School Teachers;" "The Possibility of Training Children to Study:" "The Beginning of Medical Inspection in Illinois;" "Grading and Promotion of Pupils;" "The Motiva tion of Children's Work in Elementary Schools:" "Some Things a Normal School Seeks to Do for Its Students:" "Grammar Grades in Central Build ings:" "The Co-operative Method of Developing the Course of Study" (his master's thesis at Bryson library, Columbia university.

ORDINANCES CONFLICT And Dr. Walswortli Was Xot Convicted of ''Cutting Corners." The police will have some difficulty in enforcing the "cut the corner" pro vision of the new automobile ordi nance, Judge Huron having held that Sections 15 and 17 conflict. The point wae raised by Dr. F. D. Walsworth, who had been cited to appear for an alleged violation of the ordinance. He was arrested under section 1, which provides that the driver of an automo bile "shall at the intersection of street crossings keep to the right of the in tersection when turning to the left and pass to the right of such intersection." Dr. Walsworth violated this section by cutting the corners at Fifth and Kan sas avenue and passing to the left of the intersection. When the case came up for trial. Dr. Walsworth pleaded not guilty. claiming that he had a right to make the turn as he did under the terms of section 17, which says, "In the opera tion of motor vehicles and all other motor vehicles on the highways of the city, tne same shall, so far as prac ticable, be driven upon the right hand side of such highways." The words "so far as practicable' in section 17, saved the doctor, for he was able to show that it was not prac ticable to pass to the right of the in tersection. He offered evidence that a pile of dirt, a horse tied to a post, and a heavy transfer wagon in the middle of the street made it impossible for him to reach his destination, which was a garage, without cutting the corner, as stated.

THE TOPTTKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 1913- STILL INJHE AIR Commissioners and Fatten Talking It Oyer. o Agreement Yet on Gage Park Extension. The city commission met in execu tive session this afternoon, but at 2:45 the Gage's proposition was still up in the air. Will there be a line to Gage's? Will It go out Tenth street? Will It go out Eighth? Will there be a South Topeka extension? There have been so many guesses concerning the prob able outcome of the locked meeting that there is little left to surmise. If the entire board were as expeditious as W. G. Tandy the matter would have been settled at 2:20, five minutes af ter the meeting was called. "I can say my say in two minutes,' the street commissioner curtly declar ed. Just what did Mr. Tandy say? It was stated pretty authentically, but not authoritatively that the line-up this morning wis as follows: For Gage's Park and south Bide extension, R. L. Cofran, mayor; W. G. Tandy, commis sioner of streets and public improve ments. For Gage's Park without south Fide extension, W. L. Porter, commis sioner of parks and public property: (Frank M. Newland, commissioner of mater and electric lights. Against the Gage's extension because it does not comply wit hthe terms of the fran chise, Roy L. Bone, commissioner of ftlnance. The meeting was composed of the rtnayor, the four members of the oom Smission and W. C. Ralston, city attor fcney. Albert Patten, general superin tendent of the Topeka Street Railway company, who expected to be present, iJiad not arrived at a quarter of 3. The question of the forfeiture of the krailway company's $15,000 bond and tthe probable extensions is agitating tne public at present, interested spec tators trailed about the halls in the city building awaiting the outcome of the meeting. Numerous Topekans who expected the question to come up at this morning's meeting skirted the council chamber at 10 o clock. The county commissioners this morning expressed a grave donbt that the West extension would ever be built. Albert Patten declined to grant an Slnterview. "The commissioners and trroyself decided to say nothing about ?the matter," he declared, "until it is -definitely settled." W. L. Porter, who at one time stood alone in his demand for the Gage's extension at the expense of the South Topeka line, has been under Are from all sides. His neighbors on West Eighth etreet have been insisting that he use his influence in securing the extension on that thoroughfare instead of on West Tenth avenue. "I want the line to Gage's either on Eighth or Tenth Just so we get it," reiterated Mr. Porter, "the city has $100,000 sunk in that park. I want it connected with town by rail anyway I can possibly get it." W. J. Rickenbacher was gossiping about the city building this morning concerning an interurban line from Coffeyville to Topeka. He asked the mayor if it would be possible to get a franchise for such a line and the may or said it would. The tracks would enter Topeka on South Kansas avenue, go east to Quincy on Eighteenth, north to Second street, west to Jackson, and cross a specially constructed bridge into North Topeka. "Sounds like an interesting project," Mr. Newland remarked to Mr. Ricken bacher. "The city would be willing to do al most anything to get an interurban line," Commissioner Tandy observed. O'TOOLE SHOWS GRIT. April. The combined reports at that time showed 200 million dollars on deposit.

Have Warden R. W. McClaughry, who is soon to be succeeded as warden of the federal prison at Leavenworth, is not an applicant for appointment to the membership of the penal board and emphatically denies the published re ports to the effect that he would seek to succeed Thomas W. Morgan, his successor, as a member of the prison board. In a statement given out in Leavenworth today. Warden Mc Claughry said: "I am not an applicant for the chair manship of the Kansas state board of corrections, nor would I under any cir cumstances accept the place. Major Brown, a gentleman who is eminently fitted for that position, was chosen to fill the vacancy created by the appoint ment of Mr. Morgan as my successor. and there is not the slightest reason to doubt that he will not satisfactorily fill it. Nor am I an applicant for any other office on the Kansas state board. I have said, and I mean, that if this honor is bestowed upon me, it will re ceive careful consideration. I regre"t that such an impression that I have been named amon- the applicants has gone out. It is entirely erroneous and places me in a false light." T. B. SERUM FAILED. Wife of Wealthy Furrier Dies Without Losing Confidence. riUhes for Team With Wife in Hos pital in Dangerous Condition. Denver, Col., June 8. The fight of Mrs. Joseph Byrne, wife of a wealthy St. Louis furrier, to conquer tubercu losis is over. She died late last night at the Oakes Home. A few weeks ago Byrne offered F. F.

Lan dismann of the People's hospital New Tork. to Denver to make the inocula tions. Bierokowsky is the physician who worked with Friedmann in Berlin on the turtle serum.

It was considered that the serum had virtually no effect either for good or ill. SIGN FIGHT ARTICLES. Willie Ritchie and Joe Levy to Meet July 4 Post Forfeits. Pittsburg, Pa., June 9. Pitcher Marty 'Toole, of the Pittsburg Pirates, in pite of the fact that his wife lies at the Allegheny general hospital follow ing an operation, walked into the box and pitched a fine game.

Five hits and one run were scored off him, but the two hits that resulted In the run were of the lucky order. Mrs. O'Toole is resting satisfactorily end the surgeons are hopeful that she rwill recover.

The big factor, that of the weight will either be 133 pounds, three hours he fore ring time or 134 pounds ringside. Nolan broke the deadlock by agree ing to those weights. It is up to Levy to choose between them and a wire from Los Angeles, sent by him, said that this was satisfactory. Forfeits will probably be posted when the articles are signed and $2, 500 will be asked for each of the prin cipals as a guarantee of weight and appearance. Of course, this is only a minor feature of the proceedings, as this is customary for a chamion ship encounter. UPHOLDS WILSON. Continued from Page One Senator Walsh testifying, said among callers on him. who had talked tariff were former Secretary of the Interior Garfield, former Governor Adams of Colorado, and President Elliott of the Northern Pacific railway, all of whom were more or less interested in the sugar schedule. "I feel there is a lobby here and has been all the time," he said. "A lobby is like a river, it flows by all the time. The individual atoms change." "I think there has been an objection able and scandalous lobby here." said Senator Poindexter, "less now than in 1909 but it is here now. I don't mean money has been used." Senator Poindexter told of a dinner at which several senators were present and conservatism was discussed, "I heard afterwards I don't know how true it is that the dinner was paid for by the coal interests although giv en in another man's name," he said. He preferred not to give names of other senators present. He called at tention of the committee to dinners given here by- Edward Hlnes the Chi cago lumberman; and to "the success ful campaign" of former Representa tive Littauer. of New York, who. he said, was able to hold the Payne-Alrl- rich hill in conference for many days and secure finally a compromise on the glove schedule in which he was interested. Senator Poindexter said he had some interest in wheat and lumber, both tariff-affected subjects. Senator Tillman said he owned about $3,500 of cotton stock and $2,- 000 of Oklahoma Oil stock. "I am only anxious that we pass the tariff bill and relieve the chilly sensa tion now predominating in New York among certain gentlemen who have grown wealthy on legalized piracy, he said. "Thev seem to have the shiv ers, and owing to the fact that our currency laws are not the best, the sooner the congested feeling is over the better." Senator Tillman said he thought large sums had been used to buy "the columns of newspapers to influence congress and the people" on the tar iff question, but beyond that, while he suspected the existence of a lobby here, he had no actual knowledge of it. Senator Lea gave a new definition of a lobbyist. "A lobbyist Is generally a man who is ODDosed to your view on legislation; when he agrees with your interests he Is called an expert." he said. The senator knew of no improper Tobby here but thought it evident that much money is used in an attempt to mould public opinion. COUNTY COMMISSIONER leading roles.

DEVELOPING A SIXTH SENSE Human Eare Is Vnconsciously Using Mastery and Forcefulness. The most amazing development Qf the twentieth century so far has been the realization that a "sixth sense," that is to say, some sense other than taste, smell, touch, hearing and sight, is beginning to operate powerfully upon our lives. "The influence of mind over matter" has come to be a catch phrase, and people are greatly inter ested in discussing the several ways in which this curious influence shows itself, but strangely enough, little at tention is given to the idea why the human race is developing this sixth sense. Without going into biology closely, it may be remembered that touch was the first sense to be developed, then tasted and the other senses in .varying order in different organisms. But at the same time it must not be forgotten that all these senses came in response to a need. Touch, for example, de veloped with free motion; taste with the requirements of a diet that had to be selected. So this sixth sense does not spring from nowhere, but is develop ing steadily in response to a need, and is produced by that need. The one force that is creating this sense is social intercourse. Gestures sufficed in the days of primitive man, for his wants were few and the mat ters which his neighbors could com municate to him were fewer still. A lit tle later words came and they were necessary because abstract ideas came which gestures could not express. The sense of hearing then became highly acute, so that not only could words which sounded much alike be distin guished, but even the same word in different tones conveyed a different meaning. Now, thought processes are so rapid and the urgency of communi-' cation is so great that words seem cumbersome and slow: People who know each other well and are both quick witted can often tell the end of a sentence their companion has just be gun. This is especially true in business life. The good salesman is by no means always the most fluent talker, but is the man. who can project into the mind of the man to whom he is trying to sell goods the general idea of his purchas ing the same. The big employer, the master of men, is the master not by his oratory, but by his sense of mastery a thing projected by the mind. There are men and women who simply cannot help making: love or being made love to, not because of anything they say, but because either their charm or their forcefulness operates consciously or unconsciously by the sixth sense. Each year sees this sense growing stronger, because every year the circle of social Intercouse increases. Not long ago it was rare to know people of dif ferent nationality than ourselves, and a century ago any person who had been on two continents was a wonderful traveler. The literature of foreign na tions then was little translated. Now all great writers can be read in the principal tongues, no matter what the language in which their works were ALL-STAR" WEEK Broncho HeadHner Attraction TODAY nz I AN 1 5C I TOMORROW FEATURE 5c 0 IN TWO REELS An episode of the Civil war. in which a slave heroically lays down liis life to save his master from capture.

For the first time the stars and bars of the South ern Confederacy decked the state capital of Indiana today, when a bronze bust of Colonel Richard Dale Owen, commandant at Camp Morton, near Indianapolis, in 1S62, the gift to the state of Confederate soldiers who were Colonel Owen's prisoners, was unveiled. Although the feelings of war days have mellowed with time, it is probably the first time that Con federate soldiers have so honored a Union soldier. General Bennett H. Young of Ken tucky, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, was to 1 1 1 i r iii'- j v L afternoon, and Vice President Thomas Indiana university, where Colonel Owen went as a member of the faculty after he had resigned from the army, also was on the program.

Shortly after being ordered to the front from Camp Morton, Colonel Owen was captured at Mumford, Ky., but was released by the Confederate commander who said "Colonel Owen, in consideration of your kindness to our prisoners at Camp Morton you are free to go at will."

Xavy Will Have More and of Very Superior Sew Type. Washington, June 9. While the navy department consistently has tl-en extremely reticent concerning its sub marines, it became known today that the plans for the three vessels of this type authorized by the last session of congress and for which bids are about to be asked contemplate vessels much larger than any now in commission.

The navy department designers now are planning much larger and more formidable vessels of this type and some of them prophesy the develop ment of the submarine into a giant battleship that will replace the dread noughts in the first line of defense. They even contend those vessels would oe able to disappear beneath the sur face of the sea to escape a return fire after discharging their great 12-inch rifles at an enemy. CROPS BRING LESS.

HAYTIEN NAVY SOLD. Gunboat Yacht Goes to New York Firm May Be Freighter. New York. June 9. At last the Havtien navy is destined to serve some practical purpose. Either she will be torn asunder and sold to a junk dealer or she will be cut down to the re quirements. of freight barge purposes. After holding the gunboat yacht Fer rier up for sale before the whole world for more than a year' the dusky West Indian republic has sold the vessel to a New York firm. The only person interested who is at all rueful is "CapJtain Bill" Watt, who two years ago became the Hay tien minister of naval arfairs. admiral of the Haytien navy and as such, com mander of the crew of the Ferrier. About a year ago the Haytien cab inet decided on "a greater navy" pol icy and "Captain Bill" drew up the plans. He- declared the navy needed a new rudder, an engine that would work, no matter which way the wind blew, a new blade on the propeller and at least one breach loading gun. "Captain Bill" and his nine men took the Ferrier to the Philadelphia navy yard where the crew deserted and the United States government was asked to estimate on repairs. The government wired to Hayti that it would cost $50,000. "You can have her and the crew, too," wired back the Haytien congress, after it has recovered from the shock. "Who pays me?" demanded Captain Bill. Silence followed and for six lean months Captain Bill sat on the bridge awaiting a reply. Then he sought a new job where he could be sure of eating with some degree or reguiaritj. A SERIOUS FROBLEM. How to Find Room for High School Students Next Term. Th board of education and new superintendent of city schools will be confronted with a serious prooiem ima summer. So scarce has avilable room been at the high school in the last year that it has almost been necessary to hane the students, like art treasures, on the walls there was an enrollment of 1.362 students. With the probability of an increase of at least one hundred persons next fall the problem of caring for them will give the management no small amount of worry. The number of persons who have applied to study English next fall is 1.047. It would require forty-three classes to accommodate these students. Additional classes will be required in a number of other branches as follows: Two in German, one in physics, two or three in commercial arithmetic and one in commercial geography. The suggestion has been made that sessions be held both in the morning and afternoons and that two shifts of teachers be employed. However, this is something that the school board will have to consider. Last year additional room was made by dividing the manual training assembly room into two class rooms. REACH NO DECISION.

Not only that, but with one little capsule he made me sleep night after night like a babe, lying in bed, on my right side or left side. For a year I had been afraid to lie down in bed. Now I enjoyed at the end of fifty days a renovated body and per feet physical comfort. I have discovered in our community a re markable man, who has for a half a century done a remarkable work in our midst. i Dr. Metty is different from any oth er doctor I ever met or heard of. His practice differs wholly from that of anyone else. He can diagnose a case across the street. He Is an interesting example of what is going on in our 1 midst without horn blowing. Dr. Met ty came to this neighborhood with the 1 Pottawatomie Indians in 1854. He is a marvel of medical knowledge and skill, and of great success in his pecu I liar methods and practice, not in the j way of getting a new automobile every season, but in relieving his patients. His practice and theory should be pre served in the interests of suffering hu manity. j I write this of my own motion, with i out the knowledge of the doctor, and I pay for its publication myself, filled with gratitude because he happened along in time to save me a few years I more of tenure of life.

Mc Manus and Governor Barnes of Okla homa are out again working on the right of way for the Newton, Kansas Nebraska railroad. Beginning to look like business. Isn't it? It Is sta ted that the right of way has practical ly been secured from Canton as far south as Goessel, and the work has been started on the last lap toward Newton. The statement is also made that ipractically all the right of way has been donated in the territory mentioned. Governor Barnes represents the con tractors, and is working; with the of ficers of the railroad company. There Is a feeling of optimism In connection with the affairs of the road here now, and that the business Is shaping up very satisfactorily. It is now up to the people at Newton, and all along the line to get squarely behind the proposition and lend every assistance possible, that active building opera tions may be started as soon as pos sible. A Newton man suggested that when this proposition has been finally shoved to a successful issue that the next project of a like nature that comes along will be more easily handled. This man has great faith in the railroad. and based his conclusion on the suc cess which he is confident will attend the N. K. N. proposition. ABDI CTED ORPHAN GIRL. THREE MILES IX APRON.

The judge gave Schgartz a preliminary hearing and held him for trial in the district court. Schwartz and another young man named Walter Warner were arrested some months ago charged with rob bing the Sullivan store at Eoiomon. Warner took all the blame tor mat robbery on himself and went to the reform school at Hutchinson and Schwartz went free. The officers at that time believed that Schwartz was the more guilty of the two and since that time they have secured evidence which tends to show that Warner was afraid of Schwartz, that Schwartz agreed to send $100 to Warner's blind mother in the east. Of course Schwartz never sent the money. ADVERTISE DIRTY YARDS. Manhattan Health Officer Insists on Cleaning Vp. Manhattan, Kan., June 9. Dr. J. C.
