Man Testifying Has Used Sev eral Barnes Real Unknown. Washington. July 2. David Lamar, Wall street operator and one time con fidant of Russell Sage, James R. Keene and other financiers, amazed the Senate lobby committee today by smilingly and frankly testifying that it was he who impersonated Repre sentatives Palmer and Riordan in tele phone conversations with Lewis Cass Ledyard, Paul D. Cravath, Chairman Robert Lovett of the Union Pacific board and other prominent financiers, telling them that Edward Lauterbach, a New Vork lawyer, could do great things for them in Washington. T.jimar also astonished the commit- tte by making a detailed charge that the Union Pacific railway's books had been forged in 1901 on an item cover ing $82,000,000 and that as one result, Kuhn, Loeb Company and the late E. H. Harriman had laid the founda tions of gisrantic fortunes. When La ro;r had finished Paul D. Cravath of counsel for the Union Pacific put in a prepared statement to the commit tee alleging that Lamar's charge con cerning the $82,000,000, which amount is connected with the Union Pacific surplus, was part of a bear campaign to depress Union Pacific stock, of which, the railroad's officials nave had knowledge for several days. Lamar amused, entertained and astounded the committee as he freely testified as to his impersonation of congress men over the telephone. He did it all, he said, to impress the financiers with the ability of his friend, Edward Lauterbach, but he stoutly denied there was ever any mention that Lauterbach should profit by legal fees. Treated Like Blackmailer. David Lamar, a Wall street opera tor, testified today before the senate lobby committee that he was the man mentioned in the testimony of Robert S. Lovett as having called Wall street financiers on the telephone and im personated congressmen. In 1897, Lamar said, Russell Sage authorized him to proceed to compel the Union Pacific to pay the govern ment $58,000,000 in bonds owing it. Lamar with Senator Foraker came to Washington and conferred with Presi dent McKinley. "We were charged with being a pair of conscienceless blackmailers," said Lamar, "but that had no effect on us." Warne dof Revenge. When Gage retired from business in 1901, on Sage's recommendation, he be came associated with James R. Kerne. Lamar said he warned Keene when the latter was buying Union Pacific stuck, that the railroad would ruin him to get revenge for Lamar's previous activity. He detailed how, whin Keene and his asfociates had $43,000,000 Union Pacific he took steps to enjoin the voting of certain stock, so that E. H. Harriman would be compelled to buy Keeni's stock at a high figure. With Keene's approval he retained Lauterbach's law firm and paid $25,000. Lauterbach an1 Lemar came to Washington, paid For aker a fee and engaged him. When the injunction was finally decid ed against Keene Union Pacific stock went down and Keene and his fricnos lost most of their fortunes. "As a result of the panic of 1907," &aid Lamar. "Harriman, Kuhn. Loeb 'V., the National City bank and Morgan Co. became bound together as with an iron band. "For the purpose of rendering my friend, Lauterbach, a service," he said, 'and to restore him to his former friendly relation with Kuhn, L eb Or. Co., Jacob Sehiff and the Union Pacific. I did have conversation over the tele phone with Union Pacific officials and others, but there was no suggestion of a fee to Mr. Lauterbach. On 'he strength of these telephone messages Judge Lovett came here and charged that Edward Lauterbach had tried to I blackmail him. $82,000,000 Ftoreery. "The Lauterbach incident," he added, "paled into insignificance" compared with a $S2,000.000 forgery which he al leges was committed on the Union Pa cific books in 1901. "I don't know who did it." said Lamar, "the chairman of the board, or the office dov, but I !o know this $S2,000,000 was the fulcrum which enabled Harriman and Kuhn, Loeb Co., to gain control of thcse corporations." He described a double entry of $S2. 000,000 representing securities the Union Pacific assumed in taking over the Oregon Short Line and the Oregon Railway and Navigation company. The items he said, were carried in the "con solidated balance sheet" of the Union Pacific June 30. 1900. but between that time and June 30. 1901. he alleges some one had erased the $82,000,0000 item from one side of the ledger leaving it as a credit balance on the other side. "They took all the securities of the Oregon Short Line and the Oregon Railway and Navigation." he said, "and used them as security for an issue of bonds. They got that money and used it to finance the deal for the Northern Pacific and Great Northern transac- P. FORGERY tions and the flotation of Great North ern ore property which they sold at an enormous profit." Got $200,000,000. Later Lamar alleges the principals in the transaction went to Kuhn, Loeb and Company, and secretly got nearly $200,000,000 which he believed was for their own use. Lamar testified he used the name Representative Daniel J. Riordan of New York telephoning to Chairman Lovett of the Union Pacific. On another occasion Lamar testified he called up Paul D. Cravath, of coun sel for the Union Pacific, suggesting Lauterbach would be a valuable advis er. (Continued on Page. Six.) FOR A ROCK ROAD The Sum of $4,200,000 Has Been Guaranteed. To Build Highway From In dianapolis to the Pacific. A rock road will be built from In dianapolis to the coast, passing through Kansas from east to west. This idea was originated at a dinner in Indianapjlis given by the Indiana Motor Car Manu facturers' association. At this meeting the different motor car manufacturers pledged a certain per cent of their gross receipts to build a rock highway from Indianapolis to the coast, and up to date $4,200,000 has been guaranteed to build this road. Last Monday morning 23 cars start ed from Indianapolis to make the pre liminary survey of this road. They are taking the journey by easy stages and logging and mapping out the proposed road as they go. It H undecided as yet just where this road will cross Kansas, but it is assured that it will pass through Topeka. This run is being held under the auspices of the Lincoln Highway asso ciation, a new organization that has been organized to promote the building of the ocean to ocean highway. The Golden Belt road is now being dragged over its whole length, prior to the coming of these cars which will pass through Topeka next Monday. The Auto club of this city will meet lneu and usher them into the city and pilot them out. A conference has been arranged be tween the Topeka Auto club and the governor and state officials who have charge of road affairs to give this mat ter consideration. "It will be a big thing for Topeka to be on such a road as this and every man who owns an automobile or is in terested in good roads should turn out to meet this delegation," said Chas W. Barnes, president of the Kansas Auto Association. "This road is a sure thing and while it is practically assured that it will go through Topeka, we do not want to let it get away from us. "A large part of the capital is as sured to build this road. The Indian apolis Motor Car Manufacturers As sociation has guaranteed $4,200,000 and with this is consolidated the Lincoln Highway Association which can raise $10,000,000 on short notice. "It is thought that the most of this highway will be built over the Gol den Belt route but it is not assured." IT IS HOT AGAIN, Temperature Is Two Degrees Above Normal for July. The cool weather was of short dura tion. It is hot again today with the mercury hovering around the ninety degree point. The temperature has averaged two degrees above normal for July 2. The wind is blowing at the rate of nine miles an hour from the southeast. Local and light showers have fallen since Tuesday morning in the south eastern portion of the state. Iola re ceived an even inch of water. This makes 3.22 inches for that city in the last forty-eight hours. Other Kansas towns have received lain as follows: Emporia, .12; Ft. Scott, .14: Sedan. .12. There has been but a slight rise in the Kansas river at To peka. The stage is six feet, which is a low point for this season of the year. The hourly readings: 7 o'clock 73 11 o'clock 84 8 o'clock 77 12 o'clock 85 9 o'clock 79 I 1 o'clock 88 10 o'clock 81 I 2 o'clock 87 REBEL ATROCITIES. Men Bound and Wives Assaulted at Ca.sas Grandes. El Paso, July 2. Excesses of vari ous kinds, including assaults on young girls and married women, are charged against soldiers in the command of General Pancho Villa, rebel comman der, who two weeks ago captured Casas Grandes, according to accounts given by Mexican refugees arriving here. Scores of women are said to have fled to the hills to escape the insults of the victors. The refugees relate that many of the men were bound and compelled to witness the i excesses of the soldiers. It is claimed this intelligence has caused many of the volunteers in Juarez to join the federals to repulse the anticipated rebel attack. KISS COSTS S450. And Neither Kisser Nor Kissed Got the Money. Washington. July 2. The price of a kiss in the government service is $450. Frank D. Hester, a $1,800 a year sec lion chief of the pension bureau, made this discovery today when he kissed a temporary girl clerk good-bye. Some one saw the kissing and told Pension Commissioner Saltzgarber, who promptly suspended the offending chief for three months without pay. As the kissee left the service today with the rest of the temporary clerks, she was not fined or suspended. KEG PARTY FATAL James Hayden, Whose Skull Was Fractured, Is Dead. Story of Row Which Led to His Being Slugged. HE FURNISHED SANDWICHES For Payment Empty Beer Mug Was Hurled at Him. Fled, but Afterwards Returned and Was Waylaid. Desire to pay for drink and refusal to pay for sandwiches led to the arrest of five white men for the murder of a negro, James Hayden, who died of fracture of the skull at Stormont hos pital last night. Bud Muir, "Fattie" Bennett, Dave Williams, Mark Wil liams and Jimmie Johns are in the county jail awaiting the result of the coroner's inquest this afternoon. Each denies striking the blow that killed Hayden: only Muir and Johns admit attending the party which ended so fatally for the sandwich man. Hayden, who lived at Lake and Fifteenth streets, with his wife, met his death in an attempt to collect, $1 lor ten fish sandwiches, sold at mid night last Saturday. The auintet 1m plicated in the crime are police char acters who divide their time between selling liquor and serving time for it in the city Jail. Everyone wanted to pay for the foaming cup nobody wanted to pay for the sandwiches. Hard on Hayden me result was the forfeiture of a man s life. Following is the story of Saturday's escapade as told Tom Lillard. county attorney, through the bars of the coun ty jail: Muir and Johns Looking for Trouble. Muir and Johns, looking for trou ble Saturday night, called on Mrs. "Smoke" Williams, who promptly di vulged the whereabouts of a keg party which was being celebrated with due pomp east of the bail park. The two men hailed a cab, hustled Mrs. Wil liams into it, and drove in state toward the scene of festivity. According to Muir. the party had passed from hilarity to inebriety. Half a dozen men were sprawling about on the grass asleep. Muir and Johns looked long on the cup and drained it to the dregs. "Who's going to pay for this party?" drawled Johns. "I will," said Muir. He extracted a bill frorn his pocket. "Take it" back, boy,' said Johns; and flipped it impolitely in his partner's face. "What's Ihe matter with it," growled Bud." "It s not counterfeit is it?' Jimmie responded by deliberately j aiming a goblet In the direction of Bud's forehead. The glass splintered. Covered with blood. Bud rose, stagger ed toward his waiting hack, and was, in due time, arrested by one of Sher iff Kiene's deputies. Hayden Came at Wrong Time. It was at this time that the unfor tunate Hayden arrived with his sand wiches. "Give us ten," ordered one of the boys; "that's a dollar; here's your pay." And he pitched a glass at the astonished sandwich man. Hayden left for his home, dropping lantern and hat in wild flight, and screaming as he ran. His wife met him at the door and tried to dissuade him from returning for his lost property. .As the negro, followed by his wife, ap proached the scene of the debauch, a man rose from the tall grass, dealt Hayden a blow with some heavy in strument, and kicked him viciously in the face as he fell. Just who was that man there's the question that is puz zling the county officials. Hayden's wife shrieked for help; her mother and sister came to the rescue. The three dragged the un conscious man to his home. He grew steadily worse, was sent to Stormont hospital Sunday night, and died there this morning. Be Arraigned fop Murder. When the county attorney curtly in formed the quintet they might be ar raigned for murder with malice afore thought, four of them denied having been present at the affair. "I wasn't there," said "Fattie" Ben net, sullenly. "I was in bed." "I'd gone home in the hack," stated Muir, passing a hand over his bandaged brow. The two Williams boys, upon whom a large amount of suspicion rests, de nied having been present and hinted about procuring an alibi. "I was there, all right," admitted Johns, "but I wasn't near Hayden." The shiriffs office is carrying on an alert fnvestigation. The inquest is to be held this afternoon. The quintet are in cells at the county jail, await ing the verdict of the coroner. Three Suspects Released. Three of the five men who were held in Jail on suspicion that they were connected with the assault which caused the death of James Hayden were released late this afternoon. They are Bud Muir, Bennett and Johns. The coroner's inquest on ths death of Hay den was postponed until tomorrow. DULUTH LIQUOR LAW. Hlcken Code Unanimously Adopted by Commission. Duluth. July 2. The Hicken liquor "code" became a municipal law of Duluth by unanimous action of the five city commissioners last night. It will be in effect within 30 days.

Heat and Over-Crowding Cause Many Veterans to Leave. Gettysburg, Pa., July 2. The tide of invasion turned back from Gettysburg today and the armies of the blue and gray began to melt away under the compelling influence of a torrid sun and the discomforts of camp life. General Hunter Liggitt, U. S. A., in command of the camp, estimated that more than 6,000 veterans have gone, and expressed the opinion that 1,000 might depart before midnight. Most of them have looked over the battle field, shaken hands with comrades they knew in other regiments, got an other glimpse of their friends, the "rebs," and left for home. The regu lar army men were not sorry to see the thousands go, for the camp was crowded beyond capacity and hun dreds of old men were. being quartered in tents that were made for circuses, but not for sleeping purposes. Scores slept on the ground and although the cooks made strenuous efforts, the mess tables did not groan with food. There was no other reason for army rejoicing today for all indications pointed to another unusually hot day. The sun was not over the hills an hour until the mercury was around the ninety mark and promised to soar much higher. The veterans have stood the heat in wonderful fashion, iii the opinion of the medical men, but any time there is a protracted hot spell, scores of real prostrations may result. This was "military day" in the big tent, with Colonel Andrew Couan of Louisville presiding. Major Gen eral John R. Brooke of Pennsylvania was the northern orator of the day and Sergeant John C. Scarborough of North Carolina the silver tongued de fender of the south. To Barry Bulk ley of Washington was given the honor of reading Lincoln's Gettysburg ad dress. One of the unadvertised reunions of the celebration" occurred last night in the Confederate section of the camp. A fife and drum corps of men in blue tramped up and down the street of the Confederate part of the city of tents. They stopped before the tents, played such a fanfare as only drums and fifes can make, summoned forth the occu pants and shook banSsv: threw-" their arms about the gray Shoulders and in a dozen other ways- showed their feel ings of friendship. They kept it up for hours and hours and visited prac- tically ever "reb" tent. Their reception was as warm as their greeting. Col. Bradley, the army officer in charge of the camp hospital was sur prised when the. records from all the hospitals under his command were turned in. Only 310 veterans remain ed in the hospital over night and scores of them were not suffering from heat prostration, but from the ordinary ail ments of old age. Of the 310 in the army hospitals 265 had been received on previous days of the encampment, so that the total of those who were re ceived yesterday and who were In such condition as to require any medical supervision was less than one hundred. The Pennsylvania state hospital camp has treated fewer men than the army has, and the total number of those in camp and in Gettysburg who gave up to the heat and ordinary sick ness was under five hundred. Only six men have died in camp since Sunday, a record which has amazed the doctors when it is considered that more tnan 50.000 old men are here. Landes L. Glavis, 68 years old, of Wpstmoor. Pa., a member of Cunning ham post No. 97. G. A. R. dropped dead on the street in Gettysburg today. Gettysburg, July 2. Col. Andrew Cowan of Louisville, Ky., captain of the First New York battery, which was stationed in a clump of trees in the third day's fighting at Gettysburg, presided at the principal exercises in the big tent today. In introducing Major General John R. Brooks, U. S. A. retired, who spoke for the army of the Potomac, and Sergeant John C. Scarborough of North Carolina, who voiced the sentiments of the army of Northern Virginia, Col. Cowan said: "Our regular army is an honor to the nation. It ought to be twice as large. Our navy has won the ad miration of the world, but we ought to build two battleships for every one laid down by Japan. Our coast cities with their great wealth are ex posed to hostile attack. Why should they live in fear? "We have become a world power, whether for good or ill; who can say? We must protect our coast positions. "We must guard our immense sea coast against invasion. Let us be pre pared to -command peace. "Our nation maintains a military academy at West Point and a naval academy at Annapolis to educate the army and navy. Their capacity should be greatly increased. If we measure the great services which graduates from West Point and Annapolis have performed with the expenses of main taining these famous schools it seems to have been the wisest expenditure of the government" AMERICAN PRISONER. Mexican Federals Hold Los Angeles Man Appeal Made. Los Angeles, July 2. An appeal was sent to the state deparement at Wash ington for the release of L H. Mor rison, a Los Angeles man who is held prisoner by the Mexican federals. Mor rison's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Morrison were informed their son had been captured and taken to a prison in the state of Sinaloa. Morrison was in the employ of a construction company near Guaymas. He was taken prisoner according to ad vices received here, w-hile making a trip from Guaymas to Hermosillo. DOLLEYJS SUED Don A. MounDav Asks for a Judgment of $50,000. Alleges That His Reputation Has Been Damaged. "UNSCRUPULOUS COMPANIES" In an Interview Given to the Topeka Newspapers. Basis of Claim Against Former Bank Commissioner. Joseph N. Dolley. former bank com missioner, is made the defendant in a damage suit for $50,000 brought In the district court this afternoon by Don A. MounDay, whose business, it is al leged, has been attacked by Dolley in published interviews in the Topeka daily papers. The interview particularly referred to is that in which Dolley made the charge that "unscrupulous companies whose business has been interfered with," have gone into the courts in an attack upon the Kansas blue sky law, and expresses the hope that the state officers of Kansas will give the law proper defense. Moun Day alleges that the charge is made directly that he is engaged in "unscrupulous business," and that such a charge coming from the former batik commissioner will cause him great dam age in his business. In his petition he alleges that for many years he ha3 been engaged in the general real estate business in many states and territor ies, both as owner and agent, and that large sums of money, both his own and that of others, is invested in lands which are being offered for sale. He says he has incurred a large in debtedness, amounting to more than $500,000 in ::uch business. He avers th&t he has transacted his business in ai. honest manner, as an honest man, and prior to the attack made upon him, bore a good reputation. He declares his suit against Charles M. Sawyer, as bank commissioner, and John S. Dawson, as attorney general of Kansas, was brought for the pur pose of testing the Kansas blue sky law in good faith, as he had a lawful right to do, to obtain a judgment of the court as to the validity of the law. He says he believes the law is invalid, and that an attempt to enforce it will work a serious injury and damage to his business, which he says is entirely legitimate and honorable, and that the suit is merely to protect his business. He avers ,that Dolley "for the pur oWe,"'am6"ng" others," "of""fnjuring this plaintiff in his business, discrediting the plaintiff as a dishonest and un worthy man, maliciously, wickedly, falsely and libelously gave to" the To peka daily papers, ."the following false, malicious, wicked, willful and libelous article." There follows a copy of the Dolley interview. The petition has been prepared for filing by the law firm or waters Waters. Judge A. B. Quinton, who brought the suit to test the blue sky law, will not appear in the libel suit as he wants to keep the two entirely separate, he says. STATEMENT. In Connection With the Dolley Charges Against D. A. MounDay. In the article in Tuesday's State Journal setting forth an interview from J. N. Dolley in defense of the blue sky law from a suit testing its consti tutionality.the former bank commis sioner declared that other companies besides the American Sugar Refinery company were behind the suit. He went further to declare that "these com panies" were "unscrupulous." It is a matter of inference as to whether he included the American Sugar company within his allegations or intended Just to designate the unknown and unmen tioned companies. The State Journal used the Dolley statement in quotations for its news value but marked out the word "un scrupulous" in the first paragraph as too strong a word to fit the occasion. It was used twice, however, in the story and appeared in the last para graph of the article. The fact is very much regretted, as Don A. MounDay, president of the sugar- company referred to. Is a well known Topeka citizen and nothing in his pub lic or business life here would war rant such a statement either by direct or indirect inference. The fact that the Dolley charge was vague and un certain as regards the sugar company does not in any way mitigate the re gret of this paper that such an infer ence should have appeared in any connection with his company. Dolley may or may not have facts to bear out his statements. But the State Journal wishes to state that so far as it knows the MounDay company bears an excellent reputation in the state and would no more be connected by this paper with doubtful business allegations than any other of a dozen well known manufacturing companies of the state. Be it unlerstood the Dolley statement did not refer directly to the American Sugar company as being unscrupulous, or it would never have appeared in this paper. The statement referred to unnamed com panies that were alleged to have join ed in a jackpot to test the blue sky law and left a doubt as to whether the company that really brought the suit was included m this category. But at that this paper's intention was to eliminate the objectionable word from the article and its regrets are herewith expressed to Mr. MounDay for the injustice apparently done to him and his company. Dover School Bonds, $3,500. The Dover school district No. 15 of Dover township, today registered $3,500 in bonds for the erection of a new school building with County Clerk O. K. Swayze.

WIFE TO RESCUE Found Prisoners Beating Sheriff Husband. Uses Revolver and Twenty Men. Quells Shelbyville, 111., July 2. Mrs. Frank Crook, wife of Sheriff Crook, quelled an outbreak in the county Jail last evening and rescued her husband from a score of prisoners who had over powered him and were submitting him to torture to make him tell where he had thrown his keys. Sheriff Crook was distributing the evening meal when he was attacked in the "bull pen." The prisoners had greased a portion of the floor with soap and the officer lost his footing in the struggle but in falling threw his keys into a dark corner. Mrs. Crook became worried over the delayed return of her husband and entering the jaTl looked "through the bars and saw the prisoners beating and kicking him.- She secured her husband's revolver and returning or dered the men back to their cells, firing a bullet into the ceiling when they hesitated. She ordered two of them to throw water on her husband until he revived.

CODDING'S LAST ACT. Makes Flea for Parole of Prison's Oldest Inmate. Leavenworth, Kan.. July 2. The last official act of J. K. Codding before quit ting the office of warden of the Kansas state penitentiary was to dictate a let ter to Governor Hodges recommending clemency be extended to David Traux. known about the prison as Daddy. Traux bears the distinction of being the oldest inmate of the institution. He is 82, years old and has served eight of a sentence of twelve years on a conviction in the district court of Ford county for murder in the second degree. He is a veteran of the ci war. and shot and killed John Lee, a comrade, and wounded William Lutz, another. Warden Codding was moved to write the letter in view of Truax's advanced age, his service to country, his excel lent prison record and the aggravated circumstances surrounding the criTi.e of which he was convicted. Truax and his victims were members of the soldiers' home at Dodge City. One day in May, 1905, the veterans of the home attended a picnic Trnax ob tained a bottle of whisky, which he put in his coat pocket, hanging the garment to a tree. Lee and Lutz witnessed the veteran do this and when he stepped away they drank the whisky and committing a nuisance in the bottle replaced it in the coat. Soon Truax returned and drank from the bottle. The perpetra tors of the foul act then stood and taunted the old man then in his- seventy-fourth year. Goaded to fury by their Jeers he drew a pistol and fired. At the first shot Lee fell dead and Lutz was badly wounded. Truax was arrested and placed 4n the Ford county jail. At the follow ing September term of court, presided over by the late Congressman E. H. Madison, he was convicted and sen tenced to prison. He began serving his sentence September 13, 1905.

Where They Play Tomorrow. Topeka at Wichita Lincoln at Denver. St. Joseph at Des Moines. Sioux City at Omaha. McAllister claims that he has found the elixer of life. If there is an old man on the circuit with more "'pep" name him. Barry, or 'whatever his name is. no matter, got away to the good in his first game on the Western League cir cuit. He got two hits that would be safe in any game, and looked mighty good on the bases. He had but one chance in fielding and that was a foul fly which he accepted. This department reserved judgment on the youngster. He looks mighty good in the first game and so have a number of others. Time is necessary before giving an opinion. Gwin has just about convinced every body that he is a good pitcher. He look ed like it in making his debut and holding the Drummers, but he made Ms third showing Tuesday and has not failed yet. It is just about time that some of the luck fall in the paths of the Kaws and the appearance of Gwin may be it. Levi Knapp continues to play- center field for Lincc.a and delivers the goods. He is hitting well and fielding well. Jones has plenty of pitchers and will keep him in the outfield until Cole re covers. McCormick, the home run swatter on the Lincoln team, and a terror to the Western League pitchers, didn't bother Gwin in the first game of the seriees. Joe French appears to be improving in his batting but failed to get a safe swat off Jordan in Tuesday's game. Baker's hit in the fifth inning was a scratch to French at short which took a bad bound near second base. A large number of the Phi Delta Theta college fraternity men sat in the grandstand and near the first base line Tuesday afternoon and cheered every play made by Charlie Mullen, first baseman of the Antelopes. Mullen is a graduate of Washington University, Is a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and is a "prince" among the college boys. The Topeka Phi Delta al ways welcomes his arrival.

President Lynch of the National League is considering the somewhat unique pro test registered with him by President Gaffney of the Boston Braves. Gaffney has asked Lynch not to experiment with young umpires during the playing season. His protest came about through the sev eral seemingly poor decisions made In the Giants-Braves game by Cmpire Quigley, recently secured from the International League. Lynch's problem is: "If I don't experi ment with a new umpire during the play ing season when can I experiment wltt him?" he Omaha Bee took its turn the other day to knock I-ee Qulllen, the Denver third baseman, who gets more advertising than any one player in the league. Says the Bee: "Lee Quillen, known around the circuit as anything but a clean player, pulled a nasty trick In the fourth inning, but he waited until the umpire had cast ...s lamps in another direction. Neff was on first when Grubh tripled to right. He landed on the corner safe by sliding into the bag. Quillen picked up the ball and concealed it. although Grubh knew it and also Arbogast. who was coaching on th4rd. Cmpire Segrist. however, did not notice that the ball had not been returned to the box and took his position behind the catcher. Segrist had hardly turned his gaze away from third when Quillen pushed Grubh off the bag and touched him with' the. ball, calling the attention of the umpire to it after he had blocked the Rourke third saeker. making it impossi b!e for him to get back." Sioux City Journal: Manager Josh Clarke's truce with the umpires is off. Since assuming the management of the cmb Clarke lias discreetly stayed away from the arbiters and instructed his men to do the same. From now on the stocky inlot of the feioux is going: to have some thing to say when he believes an umpire j is not Riving him a square deal. Josh says he has used kind words without avail: therefore he is going to kick, and kick hard, on every close decision that favors the other fellow. Maybe the new system will win. Hope it does, for it can be hon estly said that none of the umpires can be accused of being "homers" in Sioux City. Practically all the close ones have been against the Indians. This does not mean that any of the indicator holders have robbed the Sioux of any games, but there have been many occasions when an even break from the umpire would have enhanced the chances of the Sioux. Kddie Quick, a former Omaha Western Leaguer, died last week at Rocky Ford. Colo. He once had a tryout in the bis show.

Adv. 1 LOST 3 JWT GAME Antelopes Scored Two Runs in Fourth Inning of Contest, Walk, Sacrifice, Double and Error Gaye Them Victory. 6WIN AND JORDM HAD BATTLE Kaws Got Fire Hits and Could ot Pass Second Base. Barry Got Two Hits and Looks Good on the Paths. Gwin lost a pitchers' battle to Jor dan of Lincoln, by the score of 2 to 0 Tuesday. The Ex-Federal Leaguer had everything known in pitching i science, but a hit and error followed j a pass and sacrifice and these won the game. Jordan, for the Antelopes r was invincible. The Kaws got five hits off his delivery and all came in separate innings. But one man reach ed second base. In addition to the work of the pitch ers, both teams were on their toes and took advantage of every opportunity to secure an advantage that was pos sible. They fielded like majors, ran bases with good judgment and appear ed to play in just the right place neces sary to mow down an opposing batter. The Kaws made two double plays. Gwin had good control, although he walked four batters. He had curves, an aggravating slow ball and a reason able amount of speed. In addition to this, he showed remarkable use of the grey matter under his kelly. He was at the starting end of both double plays.' The visitors got their scores in the fourth inning. Mullen led off and drew a pass, Cobb sacrificed, McCormick went out from Rapps to Gwin and Knapp doubled. The hit scored Mullen Barbour hit a fly to right field, which appeared to be duck soup for Forsythe but the latter dropped the ball. Knapp ran out the play and scored. This was good night for the visitors and they got but two hits after that time. They had but three men on bases at ter the fourth. One of these drew a pass but was thrown out on a double play. With McLarry and French out in the first inning, Lee got a hit to left and Forsythe flew to Cobb. Barry led oft in the third with a single to left, a Texas leaguer, and died on second base. That is as far as the Kaws got. Forsythe beat out a scratch to Barbour in the fourth but Gear and Rapps went out and he died on the sack. Barry got his second hit, a Texas leaguer to center field, in the fifth. Mc Allister singled in the seventh but Barry flew out and Gwin went out Lloyd to Mullen. The same teams at 3:30 this afternoon, and the Kaws will leave to return next Tuesday. The score: TOPEKA. Players AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

Now they are operating on boys' heads to make bet ter boys of them. Something must be wrong with the ship of state. Brother Bryan says he Is too busy to talk. Those who accuse President Wilson of being a lobbyist forget that he has a private room in the capitol. Californians are at present concern ed in an effort to make talk cheaper but it is of the long distance telephone variety. No wonder the courts come in for more or less criticism. An Illinois judge recently held that a man can be beautiful. Now comes a statistician who says that married people really live longer cinirlp neoole that it doesn't merely seem longer. In all likelihood, the heat wave has merely gone on a little vacation so that it can return to Kansas before long with renewed vigor. Evidently the Marquis of Northamp ton is not a titled Englishman with out funds. An actress is threatening to sue him for breach of promise. Felix Diaz is entitled to a prominent position air ong the people who don't seem to care what happens to them. He is a candidate for the presidency of Mexico. Something that approaches real optimism prevails among the people of Wvoming. Ohio. A couple or feunaays ,rn thev all went to church, leaving only the police on guard. Neither is it at all probable that the whole truth and nothing but the truth Is working overtime in the tales that are being swapped these days by tne fjoldiers of Meade and Lee. Those women who decline to debate m-Ith Dr. Anna Shaw because she says unpleasant things about them appar ently are disinclined to take the first elementary lesson in politics.

One of Chicago's clergymen insists that the Apostle Paul was an advocate of equal suffrage. This is only more evidence, if any were needed, that Paul was the greatest politician of his time. Just what Is going to be accom plished by the Joint debates between Henry Allen and Charlie Scott Is no easy matter to determine. Anyhow, the cost of living will probably not be reduced thereby. Reports from Pennsylvania are to the effect that the veterans of the Blue and the Gray are fighting the battle of Gettysburg all over again, even to Its minutest details. But this time, luckily, only verbal shots are being fired. Not a few men will undoubtedly go into training at once to develop their abilities in the sprinting line. A Win eted. Conn., girl advises her sisters that the best way to get a husband is go out on the street and grab the first man that comes along. The president is criticized so much more severely than congress because of the rider to the sundry civil appro priation bill, although congress has twice adopted it by large majorities, says the Springfield (Mass.) Republi can, that the Incident becomes useful as an Illustration of the relative posi tions of the legislative and executive branches of the government. It might ba argued with foroa that IX the pre- ident is held mora sharply responsible for legislation than congress, his lead ership of congress should be more firmly established and more unques tioned than it ever has been. With responsibility should go corresponding power. TOO MANY COIiLEGES. There is much food for thought on the part of the members of the new board of administration that has Just taken charge of the educational insti tutions of the state in the report of Dr. K. C. Babcock, in the year book of the United States Commissioner of Education. Just issued. Inferences, in general, that may be clearly drawn from this report are that there are too many colleges In the United States with Inadequate equip ment and support, attempting to give full courses for the bachelor's degree; that much duplication of work is go ing on; and that there could be a pro Htable merging of existing institutions to the resultant benefit of the Insti tutions and the community. The problem Is particularly acute at this time, according to Dr. Babcock. in the case of state-supported institutions. Many of the states have their work of higher education centralised in tne state university or agricultural college. But in nine states and Kansas qual ifies In this respect there are three or more state-supported and state-controlled institutions. It Is in these states, particularly, that conditions are found under which "the distribution and subdivision of what should be a unified function of the state as a whole has led inevitably to waste duplication. undesirable competition for appropria tions, and campaigning for students in order to get more appropriations." It is conceded In the report that in A r rr BT1,1 thnt some states cireumovms institutions be distributed in ac cordance with special needs. Thus there. nhvlnus advantage in tne location of the Michigan College of Mines and the Missouri School of Mines in the mining districts of those states. Furth ermore, Dr. Babcock frankly states that the waste due to duplication of faculty, equipment and buildings is frequently overestimated. 'There is no loss of economy or of efficiency," he says, "in carrying on in different places A,Df the work of the nrst year, i nmiMa rT two years, oi a uuenu t a course preliminary to technological of a course prelimi V work, proviueu me ment of these two utilized. It is when specialized and tecnnoio- ifal work is begun In the second or third year of the usual course.when the services of high-salaried men and enormously expensive equipment are required, that the waste and efficiency of plant inevitably appear. Dr. Babcock concludes with the ob servation that while considerable effort has recently been put forth to prevent needless duplication, both in cases of public and private institutions, little actual consolidation has so far taken place amone state institutions. A COMMON ENEMY. Labor and capital alike, find a com- .-nemv in the "I. W. W.," writes Herbert Kauffman in Woman's World tnr Tnlv. The property holder and the worker are equally menaced by the spread of its doctrines. The Industrial Workers of the World riooiare for the abolition of control over individual liberty, deny the right of state or nation to impose its mu, preach the destruction of property, ad vocate the overthrow of government and urge the confiscation of all sources of production. Its leaders are demagogues without parallel since he French revolution. Wherever they appear, the missionaries of the I. W. W. incite violence to the point of civil revolution. They capital ize the unrest of a growing nation and poison ignorance with venom. Their wild promises of a millennium which will abolish employers, raise the Incompetent and shiftless to the level of the efficient and thrifty and reward the undeserving In equal measure to the earnest and self-respecting would be ludicrous and ridiculous, were It not that their chief activities are devoted to the prostitution of the most unintel ligent, superstitious and less illiterate. There are no constructive ideas nor elevating ideals In the I. W, W. propa ganda. Labor has its Just causes and grievances, but he who seeks to cancel representative government and declares for the overthrow of legislative ma chinery, threatens to annihilate the very Influences through which labor's wrongs can be most rapidly righted. So long as human nature manifests itself, there will "e weak men and strong men, leaders and failures The greedy and the callous will always seek to benefit to the full extent of their advantages; but the progress of hu manitarianism Is swift; the spirit of brotherhood between master and man grows stronger every year; cruelty Is rapidly disappearing from industry; wages have never been so high; hours of employment never so short; the paternalism of the employer never so broad. Makes Profit in Tinfoil. "I am not ashamed to pick up a penny whenever and wherever I can." said the proprietor of a small tobac co shop. "There are lots of people who think it is a sort of stigma upon their ability to pay so much attention to small sums. Not I, however. "One scheme has netted me a very nice little profit every year. I run a small circulating library, and I offer one year s subscription free for a two dollar purchase. All my subscribers agree to return the book promptly after a week has expired, or pay a fine of three cents a day. "Those people are more indifferent about pennies than I am, and there is hardly one of them who does not keep a book one or two days longer than he should. Not only do the sums I collect in fines pay for the books I purchase, but they even make a pro fit for me, and. what Is more impor tant, the library scheme helps to at tract customers. "Then, too, I manage to make sev- eral dollars a year by collecting the tinfoil used in wrapping up plug to- Dacco and cigarettes. I usually find a good deal of it lying about on the floor, and since I can sell it for about 20 cents a pound, whatever I get for it is pure profit." New York Press. JOURNAL ENTRIES A man seldom profits as much by his mistakes as others do. Occasionally, when a girl marries her lather is the "happy man." Maybe some people's prayers are not answered to their satisfaction because they ask for too much. In this era of materialism, the great writers, in the estimation of most folk. are those who can write bis; checks. It is safe to assume that most of the wise ones, wholay down rules and reg- lations for keeping cool in warm weather, don't have to work for a liv ing.

An observation by "Ikey" of the Dresden Sunflower's staff: "Some warm weather is causing us to sweat while we swat." Ewing Herbert remarks in his Weekly: It takes nine tailors to make a man, and even then you can't al ways prove it. According to the opinion of the Yates Center News, most married women, have to work harder than the hired girl and for less pay. Tom Thompson, of the Howard Cour- ant, declares that "many a good girl could get married if her father would agree to support the son-in-law."

The Hiawatha World prints the fol lowing notice of a distinguished To peka citizen: "Colonel Major Jeltz, the noted negro editor and education alist of Topeka, has been doing some very successful work for his paper in Hiawatha and vicinity. Undoubtedly he secured a lot of subscribers. It is Si-.id that the Jeltz paper and the Kansas City Star are about the most widely read city papers that come to Hiawatha." Some gems from the Jewell County Republican: "Live on a dime a day and earn it yourself, and you'll never have dyspepsia. The young man who goes to his work without any prepara tion imposes on himself. No mat ter how dry and how hot it gets it can't hurt the wheat crop, nor the alfalfa that's in the barn. Some girls have such poor eyesight that they can never see the things around the house that ought to be done. You can get in the way of living up all you make, no matter how much it is. You can get in the habit of saving something out of your earnings, no matter how meager they are. GLOBE SIGHTS BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE. 3 wearing isn't a habit with Ab. Adkins; it s an art.

Hoax "Why did Mohamet go to the mountain?" Joax "I suppose he was tired of the shore." No, Maude, dear; it isn't altogether har monious for a person who is blue-blooded to have a red nose.

Unfortunately, however he is by no means a rare bird and his sorry lot loses some of its sadness by familiarity. The drifter is the man who has lost his grip, if he ever had one. Usually he never had. He may be naturally lazy or he may have found the prob lem of life too large to grasp. At any rate, he is a rudderless ship, tosses hither and thither and bound nowhere, unless ultimate uselessness may be considered a destination. He takes life in fragments. There is no logical sequence of the day's task for him, no correlation of effort. He does this or that without thought of the next thing and for lack of definite aim lets the little he wins slip through his fingers. He neither thinks nor plans he only works and dreams and comes home empty-handed. He never learns that two and two make four, or if he ever did learn that vital fact, he has forgotten It. Two and two always mean one to him, for he thinks only in the unit, one thing at one time. The great truths of cause and effect have escaped him and he seemingly does not realize that to win today and to win to morrow and save a little on both days will in time mean relief from poverty, If not prosperity. The world to him is a thing of odds and ends, and such a thing as accumulation is beyond his ken. He drifts by the hard things, having I neitner tne inclination nor the cour age to give battle to what stands in his way. He knows nothing of set ting his sails to get the driving force of ever- wind. He drifts and rots and wears out and ends a derelict. If ycu ever expect to get to. any given destination you've got to 'do a little planning for yourself. The thing you do today must fit tn with the thing you do tomorrow and both must enhance the value of the thing that you expect to do next week. It isn't enough to hold your Job. The world is full of men who are drifting through life on Jobs. Their efforts are not directed by them selves they merely drift before the wills of stronger men who take the profits of their unthinking efforts. It Isn't enough to have clothes to wear and food to eat and a bed to sleep in. That much the master pro vides for his horse. That much we give to the senseless, unfeeling, un thinking machine that we make with our hands. If you haven't a little over snd above what it takes to keep you in working condition von are so much machinery and In the end you will be so much Junk. What you earn and get over and above these things which we are pleased to call the necessities of life represent human liberty. These things are the peculiar property of men who have brains and use them. Thev helnnc- to the thinkers, not to the drifters. They belong to men who can plan and work to their plans.

'Twas just a song to Myrt; these lines oc curred: "I stooped to kiss away your haunting fear That love was cold, but in your eyes I saw The care that you professed was false, my dear." And then they went, those fervent glow ins: lines. To him who sets the type, a blunderbuss, A knave, a chump and poltroon rolled In one. Who, in the end, makes fools of all of us. He set it thus I stooped to kiss away Your haunting fear" ('twas O. K. up to here) 'That love was cold, but in your eyes I saw The care that you possessed was false my dear." And It went to him who reads the proof, Another knave with feeling not a hint. Who scanned it and manipulated It Until, like this the thing appeared In print: "I stooped to kiss away your haunting fear 1 uat love was cold; to my surprise I saw The hair that you possessed was false, my dear." That night Myrtllla countered light to Jaw! John D. Wells. the evening story "Button, Button" (By Harmony Weller.) A slow smile dawned in Everly's eyes. It always amused him to watch the people dashing madly past the ticket chopper and scrambling for the train that was even then pulling out of the station. Invariably the gate was slammed in their heated faces. "Why will they rush themselves into a fever over one train out or hundreds Just like it?" was Everly's habitual mental comment as he leis urely purchased his ticket and even more, leisurely dropped it into the ticket chopper and strolled along the elevated platform at the 110th street station. Everly had long since admitted his preference for waiting that moment or two between trains to making that frantic dash and becoming heated and upset the first thing in the morning. Besides, he had an amusing assort ment of oddments that he had picked up after these morning sprinters. By going slowly he profited by their hurry. Nothing was worth stopping for so long as they caught that par ticular train, and Everly had picked up elevated tickets, fresh morning papers, a quarter or two, back combs and even a lady's belt. His most re cent find was a more or less remark able button, and even In his mascu line ignorance regarding feminine at tire Everly realized that It was one of those costly ornaments that make the entire trimming of a modish tail ored suit. Had Everly seen the girl who had lost the button he most probably would have returned It to her. As it was, he could only Imagine a suit that was perhaps navy blue and which was suffering for the loss of a button. If the suit was Imported there was slight chance of the owner being able to match the button. However, Everly watched the fem inine contingent that made Its way businessward each morning about 9 o'clock. There was just a chance that he might see a suit that boasted the mates of the one he had found. It became a habit with him to traverse the length of the platform and then the train looking for blue enamel but tons that were framed In dull silver. It was Just as the 9:10 express train was pulling Into the station one morning in June that he saw her. Her slim back was Everly's first vision and down at the foot of her trim walking skirt lurked six blue but tons. They swung with the rhythm of her feet and Everly hurried along the platform and glanced at the re mainder of an almost perfect whole. Yes, her eyes were blue like the buttons, and her hair curled beneath a dainty blue hat. Everly liked every Inch of the girl, and it was then that he decided not to give back the Host property at least she should be made to see and long for it before getting it. But how? Every racked his brain and followed the girl into the train. No longer did he look at gen eral feminine attire. His attention was entirely claimed by the girl who always glanced down as if seeking in vain for something. It irritated Everly to note how sel dom her eyelashes unveiled the deep blue of her eyes. When he had found a seat opposite her it seemed as if she never would glance over at him. If that was to be the case he realized that his scheme would sink to failure. He examined her suit carefully and, yesj there was a deficiency in buttons. Everly discovered that one sleeve contained three and the other but two buttons. He smiled his slow amused smile and "gave her credit for doing the best maneuvering possible. She had rea soned that she could not be seen on both sides at once by the same per son. While he smiled the girl looked up and across at him. From his face her eyes traveled down and opened wide as they rested upon the lapel of his coat. She gave an almost impercepti ble start. Her lovely imported button was adorning a strange man's coat. Everly watched while seeming not to do so. She bit her lip in inde-; cision, made an involuntary move ment as if she would speak to him, then sank back in her seat. A mu tinous expression dawned in her eyes. Evidently she felt powerless to claim her own property. And because he could not refrain from gazing at her Everly opened his paper wide and tried to read. Always In his mind rang the words, "Button, button, I've got the button." He real ized thp.t his act was not particularly worthy, yet he also felt that if he re turned the property there would be an end to the affair. With a lingering look at Everly's determined face the girl got off the train at Fifty-third street. He watch ed her go and the world became a blank. Evidently seh was a student of music and went daily to Carnegie, be cause her great music holder swung at her side. Everly breathed more freely. There was every chance that with a little vigilance each morning on the ele vated station he could see her fre quently. After all, the world was a glorious place to .live in. Days and days passed and trains and trains passed and always Everly managed to see the girl in the blue suit. It was not a difficult maneuver, especially when, as Everly began to feel, the girl herself was a party to it. Lately he had watched her eyes dart swiftly along the platform and meet ing his own cease to roam. A smile had found its way Into the depths of her eyes and her lips were wont to re strain themselves at the corners when Everly sank into the seat beside or across from her in the train. His un usual decoration had caught many an amusea glance. The morning that the same eleva tor carried them both up was a day or Bays. Everly stood so close to the girl that his sleeve brushed the blue outtons that were playing so impor tant a part in the lives of them both. When they stepped from the elevator Everly drew a deep breath of the per- rume sne exnaiea, ana if he felt slight ly irresponsible who could blame him? He glowered. at the back of a male person who had spoken to his girl in blue that is, he glowered until he saw the man's face, then he hailed him with a smile that Tom Bennet never remembered having seen on Everly's i.ce. "You old scout!" cried Everly. "What are you doing up at this hour of the morning?" "I admit it is a mistake," laughed Bonnet, "and I am in a deuce of a hurry to get this express train. 'Miss Peggy Arnott, Mr. George Everly," he introduced the two in a second and scrambled quickly into his train. "That was rather sudden wasn't it?" remarked Peggy Arnott. "Not any too sudden," said Everly, and watched the smile that had found its depths in Peggy's blue eyes. (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) OH THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT BT ROT K. MOULTON. Cheer Up. I ve got an idee." said E'armer Brown. "It ain't much use tf worrv K nil frnum This world Is not a congenial nlace For a man with a long and tiresome face. it ain t never sunshine all the while And old Dame Fortune ain't goin' to smile Every doggone day in the calendar year. The clouds sometimes have got to appear. No man kin be happy all the time. This life cannot always be sublime. Without no trouble a man forgets The genuine blessings he really gets. Into each life some rain must fall. Or it wouldn't be any life at all. If everything ran smooth every day, 'Twould be monotonous in a way. Ambition is born of discontent. And If a feller is wuth a cent. When fate tries to hand him a knockout blow. He does not stop to beller. Oh, no! He buckles right into the dally chore A durned sight harder than ever before.

After all is said, be it false or true. Your own success is right up to YOU." Increasing the Business. "Am Tilson, our gentlemanly and genial tonsorial artist, baseball expert and vil lage autocrat, found that his tonsorial business was running down at the heel with the advent of the safety razor," said I ncle Ezra Harkins of Hickeyville. "The shavin' business showed profits which could best be likened to a cipher with the rim peeled oft. Am had to pawn his man dolin and stop takin' the Police Gazette, which are the two last resorts with any gentleman in his more or less erudite pro fession. "All of a suddint Am's business began to p. up and he put a man on the second chair. He got his mandolin back from his uncle and the boy began leavin' the Gazette again every Thursday. He bought a quart of perfumery and put it into fivs bottles, labeled 'Violet.' 'Lielock,' and Wich Hazel,' 'Lillies of the Alley' and 'Rose Water,' and the entire place took on an air of rejuvenated prosperity. "But there wasn't any more shavin' than thorn n- t; hffnte 1 wa.a nil hair- cuttin". The boys was lined up for hair- cuts like they was waitln' in rront or a box office to buy tickets to a murley-cue s.iow. Fellers that would git a haircut on Saturday night would be back Wednes day for another and their would be i sight to behold. "Hank Tumms got a haircut on Monday afternoon and was back Tuesday evening for another and he hardly got home and got the mare bedded down before he needed another. One of Am's customers would go to bed at night with his hair clipped to his head and wake up in the morning with enough alfalfa on his dome of thought to stuff a mattress and three or four of them college sofy pillers such as the milliner always gives Elmer Spink for Christmas. "It seemed that Am had run across a new hair renewer and had got enough sample packages off'n a travellin' drum mer to suoply all of his customers, telling them it was a love potion which, if rubbed on the head would make all the grass widdors admire a feller. When the hair started to growin' it wouldn't stop. Anse Judson spilled a bottle of It on an old sofy in his parlor and the blame thing growed hair so fa3t that he had to run a awn mower over It every day for four or five months and he finally gave It away to a peddler. The sofa growed so much hair while tle feller was haulln' it away that it flowed over the side of the wagon and clogged the wheels and it growed up around the peddler so that he had to fight his way out. The fellers in our town are gettin' their hair cut four times a week I now. Am nS got nine iwueia wvirmi and he spends bis time ridin' around in a sixty candlepower linoleum. All of which goes to show that you can't keep a good man down, also tnai mere i a iui ui nir lying around dormant in this country which only neeas a loucn ui eemi w bring it out." According to Uncle Abner. Most of the automobile accidents seem to happen to affinities instid of regular married folks. There atn't nothing much that is harder to pay than a livery bill after the gal has turned you down. It seems to get harder every year to buy a good nickel seegar. A woman kin take a good wire frame and a willow plume and make forty-seven different hats out of 'em. Hod Peters has got an alarm clock that won't ring and he says it is the best alarm he has ever had. It never annoys him when he wants to sleep In the morning. Rev. Hanks says he will never have enough trousers to use up all of the sus penders buttons that he has been getting in the collection plate lately. He also an nounces that he has got enough h-on washers and hossless piano slugs. Tail No Longer Wags. Good-natured Jack is "everybody's dog" in Sayville, L. I. It was discov ered long ago that he is very fond of candy. Sugar is a pretty fair substi tute, and in going around his neigh borhood Jack gets that trust product at many houses. The granulated stuff is given to him on a plate. A couple of days ago somebody gave Jack a plate of salt. He took one vigorous lap at it. At once his tail ceased its grateful wagging. It dropped limp, and, in a fit of sneez ing. Jack cut circles around the room as if mad. Repentant persons put several plates of sugar upon the floor, but the plan was vain. Jack's heretofore automatic tail was paralyzed from stump to tip. A local veterinary says it will never wag again. "It's been salted down to stay," says this scientist. New York; World. KANSAS COMMENT HODGES IS RIGHT. The law providing for indetermin ate sentences when men were sent to the penitentiary was passed in Kansas so that a governor could use his pa role power and release prisoners whenever in the Judgment of the of ficials a man deserved to be free, and when there was reason to believe he would make a good citizen. Governor Hodges has discovered, however, he says, that the indeter minate sentence law has resulted in longer average terms for the prison ers than they got when the definite sentence was given. He announces. tnererore, that he will immediately begin the active use of his parole powers, and will parole every prisoner who gives promise by his conduct of doing his best to lead an honest and useful life. And whether the facts and figures Governor Hodges has are ngnt or not ne is right in his deter mination. The nrisonn are not built In to wreak vengeance upon wronr doers, and when a man has gone wrong and there is reason to believe he will be a good citizen if given his liberty, it is just as much the duty of the officials to give him liberty as it is to keep the recreant prisoner in re straint, and thus protect him and so- lety. Governor Hodges has the rieht idea, and by carrying it out he can do much good for the prisoners as well as for the state Lawrence Gazette. THE PASSING OF HISTORIC TREES It is too bad that nature will not al-' low trees, or some trees, at any rate to live forever. In many places In this country, in the East particularly, the guides or the local historians once oegan their holding tales with "Under that tree." The famous colonial and revolutionary day trees are gone or are going. Some of the present day events which are likely to have patriotic or other sentimental interest for posterity might be staged purposely under thrif ty trees of long-lived species. The Charter Oak is gone, the Old Elm of Boston Common Is gone and the elm at Cambridge under whose shade Washington took command of the Con tinental army is almost gone. The trees which Alexander Hamilton planted, one for each of the thirteen original states have either died of old age or have suc cumbed to the encroachment of a civili zation which takes little heed of senti ment or of natural beauty. Now it Is reported that the Treaty Tree at the base of which the Whites signed a com pact (which unquestionably they broke) with the Wequadqueek Indians is dying; and cannot survive the sum mer. It was under this tree at Sleepy Hollow that Washington Irving wrote of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman. The old cottonwood at Eighteenth street and the lake in this our city died some years ago. A part of it is preserved In the building of the Chi cago Historical society, but a bit of dead timber Is as nothing to the living tree. The Sequoias of California come pretty close to living forever. They certainly live long; enough to satisfy for ages mankind's sentiment concerning tr in htm Bimuuw, xi- is a pity that 'the ancient eastern and middle western elms, cottonwoods and oaks were not all Sequoias. Trees ought to be spared for their own sakes, but when they mark the scenes of stirring national events they ought to be tend ed with double care and solicitude. Chicago Post. EVENING CHAT BT KUTSk CAJCKROK. On Believing in One's Self. Modesty as a quality has been bo much praised that it has cast an edge of its glamor over many similar qualities which are not particularly desirable diffidence, bashfulness and self-distrust, for example Once upon a time there was a girl who was naturally self-distrustful, and, who because she disliked vanity and admired modesty so much, cultivated her self distrust. This girl was not pretty. She was painfully conscious of the fact- her sensitiveness made her. prickly and sus picious, and needless to say, her prickll ness and suspicion did not bring lovers flocking to her feet, for men, especially do not like that sort of thing. Now in common with all girls on the borderland of plainness and prettiness she had one great advanvtage over a beauty there were glorious moments when a becoming gown, a flush of excite ment, or a successful coiffure made her momentarily pretty, and thus gave her a thrill of happiness which no habitually pretty girl can experience. On one such occasion she chanced to be thrown into the company of a man to whom she was greatly drawn, and who would probably have been drawn to her If It had no K..n for the repellant force of her exaggerated self-distrust. Now. on this occasion h.t- consciousness of her momenturv h...,v gave her confidence and happiness, and "ci cuiumeiiLD aim Happiness completed the circle by adding to her beauty. The man obviously admired her, which, of course, made the color In her cheeks flame pinker and the light in her eyes shine brikhter. And that again com pleted the circle by adding to his admira tion. So, altogether, they had a very hap py day. On the way home the young man, being a rather unusual person, gave way to a burst of frankness. "Why aren't you al ways like this?" he asked her. She turned startled eyes upon him. "What do you mean?" she countered. "Why don't I al ways look so well?" "No," he said, "I didn't mean that. But why aren't you always so happy and sure of yourself?" What the girl answered doesn't matter particularly. What does matter is that the thought sank In; she acquired a dis trust of her self-distrust and Is now try ing to overcome it, with the most delight ful results. And now I suppose you want to know If a wedding Is likely to take place. Well, then, I should not be at all surprised. It Is by request that I tell this story; the request of the girl herself. She thinks there may be other women who are re pelling love and admiration by exaggerat ed self-distrust. The woman who is trying to win or to hold a man cannot afford to be uncertain of herself; such uncertainty begets uncer tainty. Believe In yourself, and you will make others believe in you.- I think that is an equally good suggestion both for the man of business and for the woman who is en gaged in "woman's only business." Ad. Vertysen "We want a man who knows both how to keep his mouth closed, and how to stave off the curious." Ap plicant "I think I would suit you. I used to be clerk In an information bu reau." Puck. Lady "You told me I need not take out a license for the dog till the end of the year, and now they've sent me the sum mons." Fancier "Them revenue people will do hanythlnk. lady. I sold a gentle man a parrot larst week, an' they sum moned 'im for keeping a dog without a license. Just becos the bird appenad to 'ave a 'usky. voice." Punch. FROM OTHER PENS i

Kansas will renew her fight on the chinch bugs and will, next spring, be gin a crusade to kill off the bugs, which this year caused thousands of dollars' worth of damage to the wheat and corn crops. The plan of distrib uting infected bugs among the farmers will be adopted by the state. This plan was inaugurated in the early 90's when Chancellor Frank H.' Snow was at the head of Kansas university. Governor Hodges today announced his plan of- getting behind the fight on the chinch bugs in Kansas. In a con versation with Professor S. J. Hunter, state entomologist, it was planned to arrange for the fight on the bugs, to begin early next spring. It is too late in the season, it is believed, to make an effective fight on the bugs this sea son. The plan for using infected bugs was discovered by the late Frank H. Snow, chancellor of Kansas university. It was in 1892 when the bugs were causing Kansas farmers all manner of trouble that Snow advanced his theory. The plan was to ship bottles or boxes filled, with infected bugs to the farm ers. These infected bugs were then released in the wheat and corn fields and spread the disease. Hundreds of millions of bugs were killed by this method. But in recent years the experts have been inclined to scoff at the Snow the ory. Governor Hodges, however, be lieves it was a great success and the plan will again be put in practical operation. DENTAL BOARD MEETS Examinations of Students and Tests in Operative Dentistry. The Kansas State board of Dental Examiners are holding their annual session at the National Hotel for the purpose of giving examinations to stu dents and presenting certificates to practice dentistry in the state. The officers of the board are: G. Fremont Burket, Kingman, president; F. O. Hetrick, Ottawa, vice president; Geo. F. Ambrose, ElDorado, secretary. Dr. Hetrick has been elected a delegate to the National association of Dental Ex aminers which meets in Kansas City next Monday. The examinations started last night with tests on operative dentistry, and metallurgy, materia medica and anaesthesia. A few of the ambitious students worked on their examinations until nearly three o'clock this morning. The examinations will close Saturday night. Today the room that the dentists oc cupy presents a busy appearance. All of the students are making practical operations to show their knowledge of dentistry and as many as 20 people are operated on at the same time. There are 49 taking the examinations. Dr. F. O. Hetrick, of Ottawa, vice president of the Kansas board, is the president of the National Dental asso ciation, which convenes in Kansas City Tuesday. Dr. Homer C. Brown, of Columbus, Ohio, is the secretary. HE WILL SAVE $50.52. Superintendent of State Hospital Will Sereve Limeade to Patients. An article in the State Journal last Sat urday saved the state of Kansas $50.52. The superintendent of the state hospital in Topeka, read in the Saturday evening edition, a tory concerning the popularity of limeades and the immense sale of limes in Kansas by the Cole Sales System com pany of this city. He read also that limes were much cheaper than lemons and that tne Juice of the lime carried more flavor and was more healthful than that of the lemon. Every Fourth of July It is customary for the state to give a lemonade treat to the patients at the insane hospital in this city. Lemons are around the "fifty-cents-a-dozen" mark nowadays and the superin tendent saw a big bill for his annual lem onade treat. Then he remembered the limeade story in the State Journal. He found upon investigation that limes suf ficient to make a drink for the patients Friday would cost $50.52 less than lemons. As a result the patients will have lime ades the popular and healthful drink this year. SYRAGDSE ROBBERY. Burglars Enter Store of Midland Mer cantile Company. Syracuse, Kan., July 2.
