Dean Talks to His Wife. Iola. Kan., July 29. Harvey Dean, the young husband, when told that his wire was in custody at independence, was unable to restrain his desire to talk with her over the telephone. When Dean took up the telephone re ceiver he was trembling so that he could scarcely speak. "Mary," he said tenderly, "they tell me that you say that I quarreled with you d tried to stab you -in the court house park in Iola. You didn't say that, did you?" "Yes, I did," came the answer. I "Don't you know that there are oth ers beside myself who know that you are not speaking the truth when you accuse me of attacking you? Don't yon know that Mrs. Crumley, wife of j the custodian of the courthouse, saw you and McCord and knows your every action and that I was not threatening you and not even present when Mc Cord led you away?" The wire was silent. "McCord put that story of the knife and the attack in your mouth didn't he?" "I refuse to answer." "Won't you come back and live with me and be a good wife if I help you out of this trouble? I still love you and will take the best care of you." "I never will come back to you," the girl replied. Stung at the answer. Dean dropped the receiver and a correspondent took it up. "Mrs. Dean." the correspondent be gan, "what did McCord threaten to do to von if you didn't go with him? What did he threaten to do to you if you didn't tell this fake stoy about jour husband when you were discov ered at Buffville?" Refuses to Answer. "I will not answer that question," the girl replied. "Then he has put this false story in your mouth and he has told you what would happen to you if you didn't tell it as he ordered you to?" "That is possible." "You never knew or heard of Mc Cord before you came to Iola?" "Never.'1 "Then, how can you explain your action in leaving with an entire stran ger? Did you think you would be as safe with bim us vi-m wiiH k. -;k k man whom you married and whom you Knew 10 do nonest and true?" "I can't explain it. McCord has me completely in his power. I am at his mercy. I would lie for him; I'd die for him. I'd do anything he tells me to do. I am wholly under his influ ence. It seems as if he has me hyp notized." "Did you ever love Harvey Dean?" "nce I did, with all my heart." hy don't you now?" "I don't know." Interrupting the conversation Dean, the young husband, said: "Ask her once more if she won't come back to me." The correspondent repeated the question. "Some time." the girl-wife an swered, "I may be freed of this strange fascination for McCord Per haps I will regret what I have done Hut now- I cannot. I can't feel any thing or see anything but love for McCord." Iola, Kan.. July 29. Mary Armstrong ean, the 15-year-old bride who wi ound apparently abandoned hv Iit- alleged abductor Homer C. McCord at Buffville. near Neodesha Monday has succeeueu in evading the officers. Sher iff Kerr who went to Buffville to brin? the girl to Iola and pick up the trail of McCord is returning without the young woman. Neodesha, Kan.. July 29. Flashing defiance from her eyes and in tones that indicated she felt amply justified in what she had done, Mrs. Mary Arm strong Dean, the 15-year-old bride of Harvey Dean, a well-to-do young farm er, explained last night why she left her husband abruptly in a public park in Iola. Kan., last Wednesday night three days after she had married him! and went away with a stnwiger. Mrs. Dean, who was located here at the home of J. T. McCord, father of H. il. McCord, of Iola, the man with whom she said she ran away, said her husband was madly jealous of her, had threatened to kill her and that she accepted the protection of McCord be cause he interfered In her behalf dur ing a violent quarrel in which she and her husband were engaged. She said she went with McCord of her own ac cord and was glad to do so. "I left Harvey Dean because he threatened to kill me," Mrs. Dean said. "The man I went away with, H. M. McCord, I never saw until he protect ed me in the park at Iola, when my husband threatened to kill me with a knife. When he saved me I went with him gladly. "My husband and I while on our wedding trip stopped off in Iola to change trains and there I saw a young man I knew and spoke to mm. 'lnis made my husband angry. He had not intended to stop long at Iola, but when we got to quarreling we went into the park When my husband threatenea me. Mr. McCord stepped up and in terfered and I went away with him. We left Wednesday night for Cher- rwale and from there took an In- terurban car to Independence, Kan. Thursday night we drove here to the home of Mr. McCord s parents. "I was forced to marry Dean by his parents and my parents. I am only 15 years old. I will never live with Dean and expect to get a divorce from him as soon as I can. x will not go noma to my folks, but will go to work in Ioya." Mrs. Dean Is comeley in appearance and ratehr large for her age. She showed no agitation as she told her story. She and her husband have spent their lives in the rural districts, she said, and neither ever had been in a city as large as Iola before arrivin there on their honeymoon trip last Wednesday. Mrs. Dean has left here for Iola. H. M. McCord could not be lo cated. Iola, Kan., July 29. "Good, I'll bet she's glad they are caught," shouted Harvey Dean, as his face beamed with joy when he was informed that his young bride had been found at Neode sha. "Mary will be glad to get away from that fellow and I know she will come to me In a hurry when she gets back to Iola. Do I think now that she will ingly ran away with that fellow and loves him? Of course I don't." When it was suggested to him that the young bride's actions as indicated by her statement, upset the theory that she had been kidnaped, Dean said: "No it don't not at all. When this story is all told, you will hear of things that are back of it and you will find that Mary was scared or forced into it. You can hear any thing nowadays. I've got to hear from Mary's own lips the words 'Har vey, you have gone out of my life. I do not love you any more. "Though she is miles away from me and I can't see her face, I know she wiil never say that. What do I care what anyone else says? She is my wife and I must believe her above everybody else." Dean started violently when a por- tion of his wife's statement was quoted to him. "But that can't be," he re sumed. "She will never turn from me, mark that. We will know the whole story when she arrives." FLAME 30 FT. HIGH Attempt Made to Wreck K. C, Kan., Water Supply. Persons Nearby Thrown From Bed by Explosion. Kansas City, July 29. Another at tempt was made early this morning to blowup the main flow line that carries the Kansas side's water supply from the Quindaro pumping station. The ex plosion occurred near Twelfth and Hay streets, where the so-called "cin der road" lies on ground claimed by Mrs. Katherine Burke. Dynamite was placed three feet from the flow line. A lightning like flash of flame sprang 30 feet In the air. Houses a half mile away were shaken while nearer windows were broken and per sons thrown from bed. A hole was torn in the ground three feet wide and j five feet deep. The 24-inch main was untoucned. The dynamite was planted 50 feet from where the flow line was blownup August 24, 1912. At that time the Kan sas side was without water and at the mercy of fire for six hours. The main was replaced in a concrete coat. Arrests were made, but the evidence was not sufficient for a prosecution. i An earlier attempt, July 19, 1912, failed j to damage the flow line. I The city has been viewed as a tres I passer by Mrs. Burke ever since it laid its flow line across what became known 1 as the "cinder road" and covered tha i flow line with cinders. Barricades have been placed across the road and the determined woman has resorted to shotgun defense. THIS IS SERIOUS. Topeka's Water Supply Threatened by Dry Weather. Unless the drouth is broken before long there is likely to be a shortage In the city water supply. So far there has been ample water. But before long, if the drouth continues, a general alarm will be sent put asking Tope kans to refrain from using water on their lawns. During the last month particularly the call upon the city water has been more than ordinarily heavy, as is at tested by the water bills that are be ing sent out. It is not unfrequent for bill that ordinarily range from 50 cents to $1, to go out now running from $2 as high as $4 or $5. "People are using lots of water on their lawns these days," declares F. L. Stevens, treasurer of the water com pany. "The city is selling a good deal more water than It did a few months ago. But the bills always are larger in the summer." "Three million gallons of water pumped out of our wells every 24 hours is a big drain when it is doubtful If much more than that amount goes down the river past the pumping sta tion." said Commissioner F. M. New land. "If there is no rainfall the wa ter supply is going to run short before very long." HUERTA MAY QUIT Prominent Mexicans Work on a Plan for Peace. Will Show President He Can't Hope for Recognition. NEED OF MONEY PRESSING A Change of Administration the Only Way. United States Will Await Out come of Negotiations. Washington, July 29. President Wilson had no announcement to make today about the policy toward Mexi co, but there is every reason to be lieve no steps will be taken by this country pending the outcome of the plans being laid by leading Mexicans to bring about peace. The fact that some of the mediators interested in adjusting the differences between the followers of Huerta and Carranza were Instrumental In per suading Porfirio Diaz to abdicate, is encouraging officials in touch with Mexican affairs to believe that their efforts may bring about the resigna tion of President Huerta. While the Mexicans who are taking an active part in the plans refuse to permit the use of their names at this time, they have proceeded to the point of Informing Secretary Bryan what they have in mind. No developments are expected for at least a fortnight. The argument the Mexicans are said to be planning to place before Huerta is that the United States under no cir cumstances would recognize his regime and that to extricate Mexico from its financial straits, it is neces sary to establish a new administration to obtain the recognition of the Amer ican government. If President Huerta were willing to abdicate, men accept able to him as well as the constitu tionalists have been tentatively se- j lected from whom a successor would be named. Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson had nothing to say today about the devel opments on the situation generally. He had not decided when he would leave for his vacation. Although the senate foreign rela tions committee met today. Ambassa dor Wilson was not invited to appear. it has become known that the presi dent's ideas and those of Ambassador Wilson as to the course to be. pursued are so radically different that the ad ministration officials interpreted de velopments as forecasting the accept ance of ArabauuLd-Wiieon's resigna tion. Americans Are Released. Washington, July 29. Charles Bis el and Bernard McDjrcild, the two mine managers held by Mexican fed erals under sentence of death at Chi huahua, have been ordered released by the Huerta government. Charge Algara of the embassy here so in formed Secretary Bryan today. It was said Mr. Bryan expressed gratification at the prompt action the Huerta gov ernment had given to American rep resentations in the cases, as well as that of Dixon, the immigration inspec tor, shot at Juarez. McDonald is an Englishman. Bis sel's chauffeur, an American, has also been ordered released. The three men were captured by General Orozco while attempting to take American refugees out of Parral. Wilson Remains. Washington, July 29. Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson resumed his con ferences today with Secretary Bryan on the Mexican situation. Mr. Wilson had expected to quit Washington to day, but remained at the request of the secretary to continue his extended report of conditions in the southern republic. The senate foreign relations committee held a special meeting at which Secretary Bryan appeared to continue conferences on the proposed Nicaraguan protectorate. Early today it had not been decided if Ambassador Wilson would confer with the com mittee on Mexico. Congressional Investigation. Washington, July 2 9. Investigation of conditions in Mexico by a joint con gressional committee was proposed in a resolution today by Representative Stephens of Texas. Five senators and five representatives would examine all diplomatic correspondence and other documents relating to the situation "The committee shall consider," said the resolution, "the question of our relations with Mexico growing out of the present disturbed conditions of that country. The committee shall re port with as little delay as possible the true conditions in Mexico, the pro tection given Americans and American interests, the truth regarding the In humanities and atrocities which come to the knowledge of this body through official sources and any other facts relating to this matter. "The committee will, with as little delay as possible, recommend what ac tion should be taken by congress." Representative Stephens said he had not consulted Secretary Bryan or President Wilson about this resolution. THE DAY IN CONGRESS Senate Resumes Consideration of the Tariff Bill. Washington, July 29.

Mulhall to be a "liar and blackmailer." Foreign re lations committee discussed Nicara guan protectorate treaty. Senator Borah and Senator Clarke taking pro nounced stand against policy in volved.

Last Connecting Link of Kail way Has Been Cut. IS THREATENED WITH FAMINE Compelled to Appeal to Ru mania for Means of Relief. Wants to Open a Line to the Black Sea. Belgrade, Servia, July 29. The invest ment of Sofia, the Bulgarian capital, is complete, the last connecting link on the railway having been cut by the Servian troops. The Bulgarian forces concentrated in Sofia as well as the inhabitants of the capital are threatened with famine and the Bulgarian government has asked Rumania to consent to the opening ol the railroad line running from Varna, on the Black sea, to Sofia In order that provision-i may be brought into the city. It is expected that Rumania will consent to this arrangement. NEVER SAW HIM Chairman Underwood Denies Acquaintance With Mnlhall. And Calls Him a Liar and Blackmailer. Washington, July 29. Oscar W. Un derwood, majority leader of the house, today denounced Martin M. Mulhall, alleged lobbyist for the National As sociation of Manufacturers, as a "liar and a blackmailer." Mr. Underwood appeared before the senate lobby com mittee to deny that Mulhall had ever talked to him about legislation before congress. After one look at the witness, he said: "I never saw him before In my life. "I think," said the majority leader, "that it is In the interest of the pub lic that a man who has taken liberties with house men, as -this man has, should be contradicted. I regard a man of this kind as a blackmailer. That man has-jiever been in the i-ays and means committee room sincev I have been chairman. He may have had conver sation with me, but when he says he had an interview, I want to say that statement is a lie." Mr. Underwood appeared unexpect edly and made a brief statement before he was sworn. He denounced as false Mulhall's statement that an emiployee of the ways and means committee has been in his employ. According to Mulhall's earlier testimony, the man was paid $20 a month. "You made the statement that this man was a blackmailer; that means he used threats to extort money," said Senator Reed. "I think he was trying to get money out of his own people," returned Mr. Underwood. Chairman Underwood read Mulhall's letter about the alleged interview in which Mulhall wrote that Underwood had told him that he could not do oth erwise than appoint William B. Wilson, now secretary of labor, chairman of the house labor committee, because there was no other candidate before the ways and means committee. Mr. Mulhall told the senate lobby commission that one time he pro posed an investigation of his activ ities as a lobbyist for the National Association of Manufacturers to For mer Chairman Wilson of the labor committee. Speaker Clark and Re publican Leader Mann, and that all turned down his proposal. "That whole statement Is a lie out of whole cloth not a word of truth in it," declared Mr. Underwood "There was never a question that Wilson's selection as head of that committee was solely because of his capacity and qualifications. It is clear to me this man was down here writing these things to his people, trying to make out that he was do ing great things. He never had any conference with me. The statement in his letter can be disproved by ev ery member of the ways and means committee. I am sure I never met this man. He has a face I could not forget. "There is nothing here that re fleets on me," continued Mr. Under wood, "but I want It set right before the country." Mulhall reiterated that he had talked with Underwood briefly in the corridor and had written to his em ployers "about conditions just as I found them in Washington at that time." "I have no desire to contradict Mr. Underwood," he said, "but I am con vinced that after he has heard my other witnesses and this examination has ended he will take back part of what he has said." "The statements you made in your letter were not true and can be proved not true by other members of the ways and means committee, re torted Mr. Underwood. "Therefore, it was self-evident I did not make them to you." 'I will stand as clean before the country as you will," returned Mul hall. heatedly. 'Oh. I have no question about how we will stand relatively Deiore tne public," replied Underwood, with a laugh, and left the committee room. The incident created a flurry that had not wholly subsided when the com mittee settled down to the further identification of letters. "Sherman Law" 'for Argentina. Buenos Ayres. Argentina, July 29. The government of Argentina today introduced a bill into congress on the lines of the Sherman law, declaring unlawful all trusts and combinations in restraint of trade and production.

CALLS IT A JOKE Porto Rico Judge Said to Have Given Donation Party In Order to Obtain Furniture for His Home. Washington, July 29. Federal Judge Peter J. Hamilton, recently ap pointed to Porto Rico, is said to have given a "donation party" for the fur nishing of his home in San Juan. A casual inventory places the value of his gifts at J700. Political dissatisfaction caused a re port of the matter to congress and investigation has commenced. Judge Hamilton is an Alabama Democrat and a classmate of President Wilson, who appointed him to Porto Rico as successor to Judge Paul Charlton, who resigned. Judge Hamilton landed at San Juan early in April, having been confirmed by the senate March 17 last. He left his family at their home in Mobile, Ala. Later he rented the San Gero nimo place, a pretentious home, in which he was to install his family. According to the charges that have been brought against the judge, there appeared in the local San Juan news papers an advertisement stating that the judge's San Juan home was 'without furniture, tableware and other articles necessary to home com forts," and that June 28, between 5 and 7:30, the judge would receive his friends at a donation party, the gifts to be used by him during his resi dence in San Juan and to be taken by him when he left as souvenirs. Between the hours set in the ad vertisement there was a string of friends of the judge, including law yers and litigants, marching solemnly to the judge's home, carrying tables, chairs, tableware, decanters, kitchen articles and family silver heirlooms. A household supply company wrote. it is charged, regretting the advertise ment, as it would have furnished the house gladly for the judge. The con cern is said to be a litigant before the court. Some days later, no notice having been taken of the judge's little party, trouble broke out in the Porto Rican congress over the appointment of the principal of some school. The Amer ican officials defeated the choice of the speaker of the house. A member of the house made a speech saying that nothing else could be expected when American officials were playing politics and judges were accepting presents. American business men in San Juan reported Judge Hamilton to members of congress, who took the matter up with Attorney General McReynolds. "This is not my trouble," said the at torney general. "That branch of the Judiciary is under the war depart ment." Acting Secretary of War Henry Breckinridge referred the case to Ma jor Mclntyre, chief of the insular di vision, for a report. "It was a joke on the part of the judge," explained the major. "He married a minister's daughter and comes from a section of the country where such parties are common. He is a classmate of Pres ident Wilson." Secretary Breckenridge could not see the joke and directed that a com plete report of the case be made to him for presentation to the congres sional committee having charge of such matters. Judge Hamilton was first appointed to the Porto Rican judgeship by Pres ident Taft near the close of the lat ter's term as a compliment to Presi dent Wilson. The senate failed to confirm the appointment and Presi dent Wilson sent back the name at the beginning of the extra session and it was confirmed without delay. WENT TO HEAVEN Girl Crossed Shining Sands of Shoreless Sea And Then Came Back to Tell Story to Sons of Men. Uniontown, Pa., July 29. Luella Com pon, 15 years old, was awakened from a trance today and described a won derful trip across the river Jordan, an ascension into heaven and the com panionship) of Christ for ten days. The girl is a daughter of a wealthy coke operator. "I did not want to return to earth," said the girl, "but I talked with the Lord and he told me to go back. He and I had long talks but he told me not to speak to anyone else in heaven. I crossed the river Jordan alone and Christ was waiting for me on the golden shores. It is beautiful. I want to go back there." The girl, a devout member of the Mennonite church, went into a trance on July 16, due to the shock of an explosion. VICTORY FOR MANNr Republican Filibuster In House Ac complishes Its Purpose. Washington, July 29. The Republi can filibuster, after paralyzing busi ness in the house more than a week, accomplished its purpose today when the Democrats decided to allow five hours' discussion of the Diggs-Cami- netti-McNab-McReynolds embroglio. Weary of the obstructive tactics, the Democrats brought in a report from the judiciary committee on a resolu tion by Representative Kahn of Cali fornia, calling for a telegram from the attorney general May 16, directing McNab to take no affirmative action on the Dfggs-Caminetti white slave cases until after receiving further ad vices from the attorney general. The committee report set forth that the attorney general had supplied a telegram which read as follows: "McNab, United States district at torney, San Francisco, Cal: Please write me fully concerning charges against Caminetti and Diggs and take no affirmative action in respect of same until you receive advices from me. Answer. (Signed) "Mc REYNOLDS. "Attorney General. Accompanying the telegram was a memorandum showing it was sent by the attorney general personally on the evening of May 16. Presenting the papers, the judiciary committee rec ommended that the resolution be tabled, since its purpose had been ac complished. On that report Chairman Clayton arranged for five hours' de bate to allow Representative Kahn and others to discuss all circumstances of the Caminetti case.

DENY THEREJVAS A CONCERT Action Looking: to Withdrawal Taken Individually. Cite the Fourteenth Amend ment in Their Defense. Jefferson City, Mo., July 29. Over one hundred Insurance companies filed in the state supreme court today their answer to the quo warranto pro- ceeaings instituted by the attorney general. The companies denied that they had conspired to leave the state and said their withdrawals were in dividual. The answers, of which more than twenty were filed, but all in substan tially the same form, deny the com panies have entered into any combi nation to cripple the financial credit of Missouri or to deny the people of the state the right to protect their property by insurance. The companies insist, however, that they have the right to cease writing insurance in Missouri whenever they deem proper. The companies claim that to deny them the right to cease doing busi ness in the state or to punish them for their determination to cease busi ness, whether acting individually or in concert, is to deny to the com panies the equal protection of the laws secured by the fourteenth amendment to the federal constitu tion. The companies also deny that they ever contemplated cancelling policies now in force. The answers go into a detailed discussion of the Orr insur ance law, the passage of which by the last legislature impelled them to with draw from the state. This law, it is stated, prohibited the use of the same rate by two or more companies, for the use of the same rate by two or more companies was made prima facie evidence of a felon ious agreement to fix and maintain such rate. "The insurance business is of such a nature," continues the answers, "that it is not reasonably possible for one company to determine for itself what are proper rates for all classes of risks and it is essential that each com pany avail itself to the utmost of the experience of all concerned in the business of insurance to inform itself of the various matters which go to determine the extent of hazard of loss by fira.. i. "Often the Insurance upon the same properly is divided among many com panies and so the rates of insurance tend to a level among and are gen erally the same with all companies as to the same class of risks, the com panies fixing such rates without any agreement among them to maintain the same." BIG BULGE IN CORN. Revised Crop Intimates Cause an Advance of Two Cents. Chicago, July 29. Sensational low ering of crop estimates, owing to damage from drouth and heat. brought about a rush of buying today in the corn trade. The result was to put up prices 2 cents a bushel. Profit taking on the part of hold ers caused no important setback, the market absorbing all offers in a man ner that seemed almost ravenous. All hope of a three billion bushel yield of corn this season appeared to have been abandoned.

DeSota, Kan., July 29. Returning to his home here Monday after spending four days at a convention at Baldwin Kan.. Rev. C. L. Clippen, a Methodist minister, found that vandals had en tered his home during his absence and ruined most of its contents. Fifty pounds of flour and several boxes of breakfast food had been mixed with water and scattered over the car pets. Then several cans of preserves had been added and the mixture trampled and ground into the carpets. The house flowers had been ruined and the sand and dirt in the flower pots mixed with water had been pour ed over the piano keys. Pictures had been torn from the walls and chairs overturned and demolished. A few pages had been torn out of nearly every one of the 1,000 volumes in t:e library. Officers have discovered that eight boys, ranging in age from 10 to 15 years, were the culprits. Reverend Crlppen came here from Kansas City, Kan., four weeks ago. The boys said they had no enmity toward him, but entered his house "just to have a good time." The authorities said the boy3 would be brought before the Juvenile court. WOMAN IN RACE. Miss Julia King of "WinOeld Would Be State Superintendent. Wlnfield. Kan., July 29. Winfield has a prospective candidate for state superintendent of public instruction on the Democratic ticket in the per son of Miss Julia King. Miss King is at present principal of one of the ward schools of this city. She served two terms as county superintendent of public instruction of Cowley coun ty, and is as well qualified for the position of state superintendent as the experience of many years in public school work can make any one. In addition to this she is a good mixer and has a natural aptitude for poli ties. She took an active part in the last campaign as a Wilson enthusist, and after the election announced that she would go after the Wlnfield post office. As the present postmaster's commission does not expire for nearly three years, and there seems to be little hope that he will be removed for cause or asked to resign in order that a Democrat may get the job, Miss King's friends are trying to persuade her that it is an easier shot to go after the position of state superin tendent. CROWD HEARS DEBATE. Scott and Allen Talk to People at Mc pherson. McPherson, Kan., July 29. If ap plause from 2,000 people who at tended the Scott-Allen debate Is any Indication as to the feeling of the audience, at least three-fourths of them must have sympathized with Mr. Allen's presentation of the Progressive cause. The Progressives of McPher son county sent a committee to meet Mr. Allen at the depot. They each wore a badge reading in big red let ters, "We are with you, Henry." Hun dreds of people in the audience wore these badges. The committee had a thousand printed, and they were all worn. In many of the business houses the same motto had been posted. Mr. Alien bad the opening and devoted considerable time to the harmony meeting in Kansas., and the present dual leadership in the Republican party. ILL HEALTH CAUSES SUICIDE.

Kansas Towns Benefited From Missis sippi River Points. New freight rates to Kansas towns from Mississippi river points will mean a saving to jobbers, retailers and con sumers of from $750,000 to $1,000,000 a year, according to information received by Attorney General John S. Dawson. While it is admitted by the state that the order of the interstate commerce commission did not carry as great a rate reduction as was expected, yet the new schedules will place Kansas towns on a greater equality with Mis souri distributing points. It is in the Missouri rate case, how ever, that Kansas feels the keenest in terest. A victory for Topeka, Emporia. Hutchinson. Wichita, Newton r.rtxl other towns in the Missouri river race case, will mean that these towns can meet the competition from Leaven worth, Atchison and Kansas City, which now enjoy decided shipping ad vantages by virtue of the rates estab lished when Kansas was a young .state and the Missouri river was the western limit in the minds of traffic mana gers. A report now in the hands of the attorney general shows that the state's victory in the Mississippi river case is of great advantage to Kansas shippers. The towns of Topeka, Salina, Hutchin son, Wichita, Dodge City and Good land are benefited by the new sched ules ordered by the Interstate com merce commission. With figures at hand regarding the annual shipments to these towns from Mississippi river points, based on the old and new tar iffs, Hougeland estimates that the new rates mean a benefit of from Miree fourths million to a million dollars an nually to Kansas manufacturers, job bers and retailers. READY FOR INVASION. United States Troops Study Mexican Conditions While at Peace. Junction City, July 29. An order to invade Mexico will not find the United States troops on the border unprepared, according to a recent ar rival from there. During the long months that the troops have been stationed on the peaceful side of the international line, the army officers have not been idle, but have been planning their campaign in case or ders are received to intervene. The soldier who has just returned from there says that the army tacticians have figured out the most vulnerable points on the Mexican side, and that one army would head straight for Mexico City, while another would in vade the border country. Most of the fighting would be done by cav alry, he says, because of the moun tainous condition of the country, and there would be little work for the ar tillery. The American forces in Tex as are keeping up with all phases of the situation and, according to letters and soldiers who have returned from Texas within the past month. Inva sion is only a matter of a short time. WEDDING HELD UP. Prospective Bride Has Spell of Weep ing, Lasting Three Hours. La Crosse. Wis.. July 29. Weeping bitterly, as the officiating clergyman was about to pronounce the words Which were to make her the wile of Najeeb George, of Canton, O., pretty Rosa Sady, belle .of the Syrian colony, delayed for three hours the wedding nt St. Elias church yesterday. Just at the time-when it appeared that she was about to change her mind, the bride dried her eyes and the cere mony was concluded. The wedding was the one which was postponed Satur day because of the arrest of the bride's father by an unromantic game warden for shooting turtle doves to serve at the marriage feast.

JOY TOJORROW Earl McDonald Was Drowned at Y. M. C. A. Camp. First Day Out He Slipped Away to Learn to .Swim, There was deep mourning on the part of more than 60 boys at the Y. M. C. A. free camp Monday night on the Wakarusa when at 9 o'clock the body of 11-year-old Earl Leon McDonald, son of Mr. and Mrs. John McDonald, of 515 Lawrence street, was taken out of the Wakarusa creek. It was a happy crowd of youngsters that went in autos to the old Stone Bridge farm Monday afternoon. And the McDonald boy was perhaps the happiest person of all. He was fairly bubbling over with enthusism over the prospect of spending ten days in camp and his one great desire was to learn to swim. So eager was he to accom plish this end that he slipped away to a point in the creek about 300 yards from the camp soon after arrival with out saying anything to his companions. When the roll was called at the sup per hour by DeWitt Lee, boys' secre tary of the Y. M. C. A., who is in charge of the camp. it was discovered that the McDonald boy was missing. A thorough search was begun, the other boys joining in, and the body of young Earl was found in a bend of the creek in shallow water. His clothes were found on the bank not far away. When the search was begun It was thought that something might have happened and a phone call was sent in to Berryton, nearly three miles away for a doctor. When the body was found Lee at once began to give emergency treatment and then Drs. W. B. Burr and M. J. Taylor soon arrived. They worked for an hour in a vain attempt to bring back life. It was evident that the body had been in the water for two or three hours. There was every Indication that Earl had made a hard fight for life before he succumbed. His face and throat were badly scratched, probably due to the sharp pebbles in the stream at this point. He wore a small bathing trunk. It Is thought that Earl must have step ped on a sharp fttone and lost his foot ing, falling into the water. The father of the boy Is a teamster working for the Topeka Transfer com pany. There were six children in the family, but one older than Earl. The parents of the child do not blame the management of the camp for the death of their child whom the neigh-. bods say was a handsome manly boy. Dr. Burr brought the body to the Penwell undertaking rooms in a motor car. NEW WEATHER MAN. Professor Marvin Is Selected to Suc ceed Willis It- Moore. Washington. July 29. Professor Charles F. Marvin has been selected for chief of the weather bureau to succeed Willis L. Moore, recently removed. Professor Marvin is now chief of the instrument division. He was' appointed to the signal service in 1884 from Ohio. President Wilson will send his nomination to the senate probably this week. Professor Marvin was born at Co lumbus, Ohio, and was educated in the public schools there and at the Ohio State university. He came to Wash ington in 1884 and entered the govern ment service in what was then known as the signal service, since renamed the weather bureau. He became head of the instrument division of the bu reau in 18 88, which position he has held since. Under the new chief more attention will be paid to weather reports and forecasts as they affect or are likely to affect agriculture and general farming conditions throughout the country. Other changes are to be made in the bureau but Secretary Houston was not ready to announce them. Professor Marvin is the inventor of many instruments used by the bureau. He has represented the department of agriculture at a number of important meteorological congresses and has 'NOTHER written extensively on the subject of weather investigations. He has con ducted experiments upon which are based the tablefL used by the weather bureau for dejertnining the amount of moisture in the -air, has studied the measurement of wind velocities and pressures and also on- the use of kites for ascertaining meteorological conditions. WANT LOWER RATES. Hill City Man Complains of Unfair Freight Charges on Coal. The people of Hill City want cheaper fuel, and to get: it, they think that it is necessary to get cheaper freight rates. One man contends that the rates on fuel from Colorado, are great er to Hill City than the rates to Kan sas City which is a haul of 300 miles greater. One makes a complaint in the following letter to the Topeka State Journal: Editor State Journal: While the dis cussion is rife as to cheaper fuel in eastern and southeastern Kansas, and the proposition laid down to put the western half of Kansas to expense of convening the legislature, to furnish relief, it appears to one at this end of the state, that eastern Kansas fuel users have little to complain of as compared to the greater cost for fuel expense in the western half of Kansas. Here we are compelled to pay $8.50 per ton for coal and the public utilities commission never say to the railroads to haul this coal at less expense, but the railroad transportation companies will haul this same coal from the Rocky Mountains and lay it down in eastern Kansas at less expense than to us, a greater haul distance of over 300 miles. Gentlemen don't you think we need relief out this way? MAN BLOWN TO PIECES He Attached a Stick of Dynamite to a Live Wire. St. Louis, July 29. The premature explosion of a stick of dynamite blew James Gianveli, a blast man, to pieces here. He had descended into a pit for the construction of a sewer and in preparing the charge, acci dentally attached the explosive to a live electric wire. Other workmen who had retreated to a safe distance were horrified to hear a deafening explosion shortly after Gianveli entered the pit. They found his mangled and dismembered remains scattered on the bottom of the ditch. Gianveli was 37 years old and was considered an experienced workman. BABB RELEASED. Wichita Club Changes Managers Nick Maddox Appointed. Wichita, Kan., July 29. Charles Babb, manager of the Wichita base ball club, has been released by the board of directors. Babb succeeded George Hughes shortly after the sea son opened.

Nick Maddox, former Pittsburg star pitcher, who is with the Jobbers, was appointed tem porary manager. JUDGE WAKEFIELD DIES Topeka Pioneer Dies at Home of Daughter In Denver. Denver, July 29. An Illness of two weeks resulted in the death of Judge William H. Wakefield, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Florence W. Herzberg, 5020 Raleigh street. He was 78 years old. Judge Wakefield was a writer and author of note, being a zealous advo cate of the single tax idea. He was the founder of several newspapers, one of the pioneers of Topeka, Kan., a government scout in the Union army, and took an active part in curb ing Indian troubles on the Kansas border in the early days.

Stratton, of Denver; John A. Wake field, of Kansas City, and Charles H. Wakefield, of Woodburn, Ore. The funeral was- held in Denver. Knife Reformed Bandit. "Black Bart" Holzhay, sentenced to life at Marquette prison in 1889 for highway robbery, has been released, after having served 24 years. Holzhay's exploits In the woods of northern Michigan and Wiscon rivaled those of Jesse James. He held up stage coaches and waylaid travelers. When received at the prison he was illiterate, ill-kept, and gave the prison authorities much trouble. A surgical operation changed his chcr acter completely, and since It was per formed he has been a model prisoner, studying hard and gaining a fair educa tion. Lansing (Mich.)

Cat tle receipts here last week were heaviest of the season, 49.U0O head, 16,000 greater than corresponding week last year. Kill ers' efforts to depress prices were largely nullified by th Dresence of an extraordi nary demand for stock cattle and feeders. Country buyers took 17,000 cattle, and sub mitted to a raise of 25 to 60 cents at the same time, same week last year tney were satisfied with 7,000 cattle. Middle and low grades of grass steers, Including quarantines, declined 25 to 50 cents, but upper grades, good cows, and prime fed steers held steady, calves 25 to 60 cents Mehnr. Receioto today 13.000. market strong, except fed steers, which are bare ly steady. Quarantine cattle are 10 to 20 cents higher today, stockers and feeders unevenly higher. Best Greenwood county grass steers are as nign urcay as any tune last' week, at $7.80 to $8.26; lighter steers from that section, and westerns from the Brookville district, are selling at $7.10 to $7.45i Prime Missouri grass and corn steers today $3.50 to $8.85. Old Mex ico steers grazed in eastern Colorado brought $5.05. cows J1.S5. and a car of i pounds calves $8.00. Quarantine receipts only 42 cars today, steers at $5.60 to $6.Sa. Stock steers run from $5.25. to $7.76, feed ers $7.00 to $S.10. Additional showers around the circle last two-days have post poned necessity to move cattle account ot dryness, improved the outlook for Kannan and Oklahoma corn, and almost Insured the Missouri and Iowa crops. Normal marketing of cattle will rule tor a time. Hog receipts are moderate, though larger than a year ago. Prices hover around $9.00, and dealers can see nothing that will cause declines. Packers' needs are urgent, and the east is ravenous for fresh pork. Lard demands will be great er than usual this fall, with extremely light stocks in packing houses now. Re ceipts 5.000 here todav. market strong, top $9.05. bulk $8.90 to $9.00. Sheep and lambs advanced 40 to 65 cents last week, and commission men say prices will stay up.

Topeka at Sioux City. Denver at St. Joseph. Wichita at Omaha. Lincoln-Des Moines, off date. Crist sprained an ankle in the sev enth inning while sliding to second. Fullerton Was put on to run for li'm and McAllister finished the game. Sioux City has refused to transfer the series which begins Wednesday to Topeka. Tneir grandstand burned Sunday night and these games will be played at Riverside park, which is five miles from town. Some nerve, for a team that is in the ruck and drawing bad anyway. Nothing but the guaran tee for the Kaws. If Carlo Smith, signed by Gear to play left field, comes up to expecta tions and performs as he has in tne past, he will be up among the leaders of the league. During the last five years he has not failed to lead the league in which he played and hit mere than .400 in the Cotton State League last year. He will join the Kaws at Sioux City. St. Joseph will open a four game series on the local grounds next Saturday. A doubleheader will be played Sunday, first game at 2 o'clock. Lawrence, the Semi-pro who is with the Kaws, worked in left field a part of the time Monday. He did not have a chance in the outfield and was taken out in the seventh to allow Price to bat for him. Colliflower gave all close decisions to the Bears and there was a bunch of them. thF:-f0maha left flelder. is one cf the niftiest propositions in the league. hYeJL 1 5;oungster time and watch him grow.

Am,rJ?te.3, 1116 S,Yn comes boning down His pitchers all get out, And batsmen amble to the plate And slam the ball about. The manager converses thus 'Mt Is the heat has caught 'em. -They re on the blink in summertime. But watch 'em in the autumn." George E. Phair. Pittsburg without Wagner will never look the same to the thousands of "bugs'" who always journey to pirate games to see the "Flying Dutchman" perform. President Garry Herrman of the Cin cinnati Reds has become a scout. The Reds' owner is trying to find some young material to help Joe Tinker build up a good team. Practically all of the major league managers except Johnny Evers, concede the National league pennant to the Gi ants. "They've got to fight it out to the nnisn, says the Keystone Kink. Sioux City Journal: Every true sup porter of the Omaha baseball club has long been impatient over the situation in the Western league and has persistently maintained that Omaha belongs in a league with cities that support their base ball representatives consistently. Omaha would do right well in a circuit outside the pale of organized ball, where teams were compelled to jump from Pitts burg to Omaha. For geographical reasons alone the plan is not practicable. The real trouble in Omaha is this: The manr. agement of the Western league is not pop ular with the business Interests of the town. Most of the fans are well satisfied with the brand of ball played in the West ern league, but they take none too kindly to the man who owns the club. In the first place his penuriousness does not ap peal to good sportsmen. A town the size of Omaha deserves a winner: it will sun- ort one. but first of all the owner must show that he Is earnestly endeavoring to get a winner. A sample of Rourke's methods is the selling of Bert Nlehoff, one of the best minor league third base- men in the game, just at the opening of the season. In the place o Niehoff he offers the fans a rank busher. Is it any wonder they are disgusted with Rourke? Should Rourke jump the league, and the chances for such a move are highly re mote, the Western league would promptly put a team in Omaha and there would be no difficulty in selling the franchise. TJnnnln Star' Tfila la tint -i 1- -nnl.- the scorer in any one city, be;y se we ueueve mat every taDuiator on io circuit is guilty, but if Prexy O'Neill could de vise some scheme w herein the visiting players would get an even break with the home team On the record cards he would make a name for himself which would live forever in the annals of league ball. Why not have four independent scorers and not so many umpires? Have th scorers move from town to town as well as the arbitrators, so that all chances for partiality could be eliminated. The ex cuse the scorer always makes when tim gives the home players the best end of the shake is that they get the worst of it in other cities, which is all very true. No matter what is said to the contrary, the minor league records go a long ways toward deciding the fate of the majority of the players who are being looked over by the majors, and a scheme to give them all an even break would be a boon to both the major and minor league mag nates and well worth the additional expense.

Holland Sells Ketter. St. Joseph. Mo.. July 29. Catcher Phil Ketter. formerly of the Chester, Pa., club, was sold by Manager Hol land of the St. Joseph team, to the Burlington, la.. Central association club. Sioux City Tribune: In a personal let ter to the Tribune's baseball editor .Presi dent O'Neill, of the Western League, ex plains his action on Umpire Sigler. "I do not want anybody to believe that I let Sigler go because of his trouble with the Piayers or Rourke. I have been trying to get somebody to take his place for the last four weeks and the moment I could get Haskell to agree to work, I notified Sigler of his release. There were other things about Sigler that are not good for publication and I knew it for a long time, but my hands were tied on account of deaths in the families of umpires and my inability to secure an umpire that I thought would be satisfactory to our or ganization." Thus writes Mr. O'Neill of his action and the argument sounds reasonable. Denver News: "The question of the real brought up by their continued purchase brought up by their continued purchaes of players from the Western League, ivinseila, Kenworthy and. now Arbogast are a few who graduated from this circuit who are out there. In the usual case the men who leave this circuit are not con sidered particularly bright stars, yet they are able to scintillate In a circuit which lays claim to a higher classification than Denver has.

He couldn't do the things that other play ers do. But, oh! how he could heave that little ball. Looking over the stacks of fines as sessed against him this season, Heine Zimmerman will probably agree with Wil liam Jennings Bryan that no man can live on $12,000 a year.

In the wake of the $9,000 fire which started in the Mizzou baseball park grandstand and swept the river front Sunday night, the city councilmen took the position that any improvements made on the sites must be made permanent and of fire-proof construction. The river front was placed inside the city fire limits by an ordinance passed several weeks ago. The attitude of the city council in the movement to make conditions less hazardous will force the management of the Sioux City baseball team to spend thousands of dollars on the per manent baseball plant.

Cincinnati, July 29. Chairman August Herrmann, of the National Baseball commission, in discussing the "unwrit ten law" of calling a player out who slides into first base, which was up held by President Thomas Chivington, of the American association, said it was not only preposterous but directly contrary to the rule covering the point. "A player is allowed to reach any base by running, walking, jumping or in any other manner, as long as he re mains within the lines prescribai," said Mr. Herrmann. "This is laid lown in the rules of the game, and no um pire, president of a. league or anyone else has any right to change this rule." POLITICAL MOB IN U'.IA Places President of Peruvian Senate in Prison. Washington, July 29. News has come to the state department from the American minister at Lima. Peru, that a mob had surrounded the home of the president of the Peruvian sen ate and taken possession of the sen ate chamber.

The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great "Z2 ran1zal?on for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this solo pur pose. HOME KEWJ WHILE AWAY. Subscribers of the State Journal away from home durinff the summer mar hare the paper mailed regularly each day to any address at ti e rate of ten cents a week or tlurty rents h month (by mail only). Address changed as often as desired. out of town the State Jonmal will toe to yon like a daily letter from home. Advance payment is requested on t'jese short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping expenses. Lost. Strayed or Stolen The Dove oC Peace. Youth will be served, says the philosopher. Yes, and sometimes right rudely, in tennis. London's militants may be de pended on to give Mrs. Pankhurst an even more enthusiastic funeral than Miss Davidson's. 'Panama has just been paid $250. 000 by Uncle Sam on the theory that It's cheaper to pay rent on the canal than to move it. Neither have the Parisians en hanced their reputations to any ex tent by the ovations they are giving to Jack Johnson. One great trouble -with the "sup posedly" unloaded pistol is that it is usually pointed at somebody else than the supposer. Czar Nicholas may' yet,, occupy a permanent place in history as the man who ordered the destruction of Tolstoi's unpublished works. Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A., retired, is reported beleagured in Sofia. But the photograph galleries may be open there. Why not abolish women's skirts entirely? More pronounced slits in them is the decree of the recent New York fashion show. That deadly monotony which is said to constitute much of the hor ror of prison life isn't partleularly prevalent at Sing Sing. What with the Roosevelt trial and the copper strike, the upper peninsula of Michigan has established itself as a regular source of news. Sending 125 of the most mutinous convicts to another prison may be one way of impressing those that are left with the might of authority. An Ohio man prefers to be broke rather than' bankrupt. Some people will doubtless consider him a man of strange and extravagant whims. Two men at Niagara Falls risked their lives to save a dog and then gave it to a woman. Which inspired the valor, the lady or the spaniel? A Chicago professor says baseball fanatics use up 95 per cent of their mental energy in the watching or reading of games. Not in some towns. Those who like to worry will get more or less satisfaction out of the announcement of the federal public health service that pellagra is spread ing. Napoleon's spirit is probably much peeved that aeroplanes were not in vented long SLgo. Another French aviator has made a flight over the Alps. And the suspicion that a Chicago man was beaten to death in a patrol wagon for refusing to give the po licemen money presupposes that he was a brave man. Speaking of forehandedness, one of the big steamship companies is adver tising a tour around the world and via the Panama canal. It is to start from New York in July, 1915. Dispatches from Washington state that President Wilson is getting har mony on the currency bill. In other words he Is taking the trouble person ally to tell the recalcitrant Democrats where to head in. "No doubt about it. Secretary of the Interior Lane is right in his opin ion that the prospects of rich pick ing In Alaska are excellent. Two groups of capitalists are eager to build railroads there. Joyous news for" the mixers among the microbes. Comes now a German professor who declares that kissing. instead of being harmful, is highly beneficial in more ways than one, and is the very best thing for the nerves. FINANCIAL TENSION7 RELAXES. "During the past week or ten days there has been an encouraging relaxa tion of the tension in banking circles, both at home and abroad," writes Henry Clews, the New York banker, in his current weekly financial review, and he continues. "Both call and time money are easier, and good borrowers now find less difficulty in securing accom modation than for two or three months past; although bankers are still in a very conservative mood and inclined to impose a decided restraint upon any undue optimism. At the west there has also been some diminution of mone tary pressure, and there is no longer any fear of inability to meet necessary demands for crops and trade during the approaching autumn. All fear of a monetary crisis the coming autumn has now been safely passed. In Eur ope the situation is also better, al though there is still much need for caution. So eminent an authority as Sir Felix Schuster, of London, has esti mated that the recent losses of the Balkan war amount to $1,200,000,000. This is a fabulous loss for so short and relatively insignificant a struggle, and is eloquent testimony of the tremend ous cost of modern warfare. The same high authority also predicts a rapid recovery from recent depression and very emphatically says the greatest danger now confronting the money market is too great a rush of new securities. There has been a very se vere and wholesome curtailment of new capital applications, but many have been only postponed and are still very urgent. It is incumbent upon bankers to firmly delay these requirements as far as practicable, yielding only to those demands which are most neces sary and Imperative. This, of course, means a further slowing down in some lines of trade, also a temporary con traction of new enterprises. This is unwelcome, but is the only preventive of disastrous consequences after a per iod of prolonged over-activity. "The home business situation is gradually improving. At this period of the year the crops are a most import ant factor. In this respect the situa tion is somewhat spotty, as during the past week some sections of the in terior have suffered from excessive heat and drouth. Remembering that the conditions on July 1 were some what better than the government re port indicated, the prospects at the moment are for crops decidedly above the average. The present outlook is for a 720,000,000-bushel wheat crop, a yield of 3.000,000,000 bushels of corn and a heavy cotton crop. The next week or ten days, however, will be a critical period for corn and other grain crops; hence it is premature to assume too much confidence regarding the out come. Our merchandise markets are generally in sound condition. Prices have frequently declined, firm money having forced more or less liquidation. This is the period of summer quiet, and many mills are taking advantage of such conditions to partially close for overhauling and repairs. The steel in dustry shows more activity than might have been expected, considering the re cent financial depression. The great textile trades are of course somewhat embarrassed by the prospect of tariff changes. There is a steady and satis factory inquiry for all classes of fab rics, yet neither importers nor manu facturers are able to make future plans until t'.ie tariff is finally adjusted." PRISON SCHOOLS. That even prison life is yielding to modern humanitarian impulses is in dicated in the number of prisons that are maintaining schools for the bene fit of prisoners. Out of 55 prisons in the United States and Canada re porting to the United States bureau of education. 44 have schools. In 33 of these a civilian head teacher is in charge. Altogether there are 27 even ing schools, 19 day schools and 8 cor respondence schools. Both academic and trade subjects are taught. In arguing for schools in prisons. Dr. A. C. Hill of the New York state education department, who has pre pared a bulletin on the subject for the United States bureau of educa tion, points out that there are ihree ways of handling a man whom the courts have pronounced unfit to re main in society: First, he may be put to death at once; second, he may be slowly killed in a destructive en vironment; third, he may be pla?ed in a favorable environment and re stored to normal health, if possible." Prison schools represent an at tempt to apply the last of these meth ods, according to Dr. Hill. "Schools in prispn are the expression of the highest conception yet formed of the proper way to deal with men and women segregated from' society for violating its laws," he says. "They are an outgrowth of the belief that the door of hope must never be closed to any human being. They stand for opportunity. They -ire hu manity's offer of help to overcome the inertia and despair that settle down upon a man disgraced and de prived of his liberty." Prison libraries form an important factor, and special attention is given to them in the bureau's bulletin. Dr. Hill notes that there is usually plen ty of books, but that the quality of the reading is seldom satisfactory. He cites the opinion of H. H. "lart of the Russell Sage Foundation, that "not one prison in ten has a. suitable selection of bocks. Most of them ars composed of one-third unreadable books and one-third trash." In his conclusion Dr. Hill urges that better methods and greater effi ciency in character building are need ed all along the line, back to the school and the home. He believes that "public effort should be directed more fully to providing the right kind of education'- for the thousands of neglected children whose environment is such as to make the development of bad and dangerous characters al most Inevitable. The hopeful sign of the times is an aroused public senti ment that is demanding a full knowl edge of the facts and a vigorous use of the best means of checking moral degeneracy at Its source," JOURNAL ENTRIES No matter how small a town is, it generally boasts of a Child Musical Prodigy. In the olden times girls existed only to marry. Now too many of them marry only to exist.

And the persons who sing in jail are not the ones who deserve to be put there for singing, or attempting to. A woman's idea of carelessness on her husband's part is for him to al low the coffee to boil over after she has expressly ordered otherwise. After all, human nature is pretty generous. Occasionally you find a country community where they s-y: "Yes, she's the banker's daughter, but she ain't a bit stuck up." J A YHAWKER JOTS People waste enough in years rf plenty, insists the Anthony Bulletin, to keep them in comfort during the yexrs of scarcity. According to the Norton County News, the man who declares that the world owes him a living never vorks hard enough to do the collecting. When you toss out one of your old shoes, says Mrs. Kelley in the Tovonto Republican, and somebody else eom3s along and tries to put it on, you are prettv sure he has some at home just like it. It's the opinion of the Dodge City Globe that the greatest man in this country is the man whose kids have their noses flattened against the win dow pane for a half hour before he is due at home in the evening. An amende honorable In the Palco Enterprise: The report in last week's paper that the Willie Blazier team of mules had the glanders and had to be killed was a mistake. The mules are healthy and all right in every way. We were simply misinformed. Another grasshopper story, this 'iine from the Glasco Sun: The grasshop pers are said to be so fierce over south and west of us they are eating the red paint from the danger signals on the Golden Belt automobile route. Tourists claim that the grasshoppers are ac tually so thick on the posts along the roads .that they cannot read the mark ers. 1 Another one has started and prom ises to become a worthy successor to "How much wood would a wood chuck chuck, if a wood chuck would chuck wood?" Many heretical versons jf the new teaser are going, but the real ver sion is as follows and must be strictly adhered to by the faithful. Bill had a billboard and Bill had a ..board bill, and Bill's board bill bored Bill till Hill sold Bill's billboard to pay Bill's board bill, and then Bill's board bill no long er bored Bill. GLOBE SIGHTS BT THE ATCHISON GLOBE, There is a good deal a detective never detects. friends money gets you are not always a bad sort. There is' more counterfeit dignity than counterfeit coin. If a poor man has rich kin, he marvels at their good health. You don't need to have much of an ap petite in order to eat too much. Some tobacco is ?o mild as to arouse suspicion that it isn't tobacco. Fashion note: There is no change in summer elbows. They are as dirty as ever. Beef is getting so expensive that cows are becoming proud of their high fore heads. Long search for a satisfactory boarding house has also been known to serve as first aid for Cupid. After she has been married awhile, a bride begins to refer to her lingerie as un derwear, or more definite terms. Farming won't be an ideal existence un til some crop is discovered which requires as little cultivation as weeds. A loyal church worker l.s apt to regard everyone who doesn't belong to her church as a dweller in Outer Darkness. Ab. Adkins says he is so unlucky he never found a horseshoe, but once located a mule shoe on the business end of a mule. The fishing season doesn't last long enough to give some men an opportunity to get in all the loafing they feel is es sential for their health. "Mv idea of a mechanical genius is fair ly filled by anyone who can open tinned meat with the little key sent along for that probable purpose." Rufe Hoskins. POINTED PARAGRAPHS, From the Chicago News. Money makes the man who makes the money. The man on crutches has a lame excuse for begging. The street paved with good intentions Is too slippery. A willowy maid is a skinny girl with an obese bank account. What does the spinster do for somebody to button her up the back? Every man wants to climb twice as high as he can ever hope to get. The gay deceiver never deceives any one so much as he does himself. Getting engaged costs more than getting disengaged, but it is more fun. Experience isn't much of a teacher when It comes to Investing in gold bricks. The chap who insists on getting what is coming to him never stops at that. How many men do you know who let their religion interfere with their busi ness? Speaking of vanity, there Is nothing on earth that can get so completely stuck on itself as a sheet of postage stamps. QUAKER MEDITATION S. tB'rom the Philadelphia Record. The nursery is one sort of a bawlsoom. Some men are more polished than their shoes indicate. Is It possible for a man to be on his up pers and still well-heeled? Every man at some time of his life has told some woman he was not. worthy of her. The average man divides his time be tween plana for the future and regrets for the past. The men who regard drinks and cigars as necessities are apt to look on their wives' bonnets as luxuries. The baseball player is often put out of the ftme for kicking, but it isn't that way with the football players. Sapphedde "Present me to Miss Peach ley." Buggins "It's no use. I've heard her say she wouldn't have you for a gift." RY THE WAY BT HARVEY PARSONS. As we understand It, the federal authorities are under the impression that the New Mexico sugar mine was salted. But, as has been heretofore remark ed by the attorneys, that case will be tried in the courts, and not in the newspapers, so we will say no more about it. Scientists and those who run hotels in that vicinity, are viewing with alarm the fact that the leaning tower of Pisa is leaning more than it used to, but after looking up the passenger fare to Pisa, we have decided that the condition of the famous one-legged smokestack is of supreme indifference to this department. After thinking it over for a week, the authorities have decided that the missing Iola business man had no business pinching the boob bride, and have issued a warrant for him. And until his name is revealed, every Iola business man will go around with a bunch of alibis in his hip pocket. Some people go to church every Sunday morning. Others merely re main in bed an hour later, and get their extra sleep that way. It is suspected that Henry Lane Wil son said more than "tut-tut" when he discovered that a secret report was to be made on his actions. But then, playing both ends against the middle is more strenuous than playing golf. Having discovered a fireproof fluid, it is to be hoped that Harrison Park man will soak his whiskers therein. His work leads him frequently into the vicinity of conflagrations, and it would be a sad blow to lose that hirsute pride of Kansas. Swat the bumblebee! A Kansas lady was stung three dozen times in the backyp.rd, and being stung by a bum blebee is no joke, whether in the back yard or on the front porch. Jack Johnsing announces that he Is gone for good, and it Is a consensus of opinion that he couldn't go for any thing else. Which makes it unanimous, so to speak. Those Mexicans should have a care! If they shoot two or three hundred more unarmed Americans, tho govern ment might become peevish and speak real har-r-r-rshly to them. By this time Doc Callen may be sat isfied that Frank Cumiskey's goat is like the mountain goat of the Rockies hard to capture. Scouts who have returned from the Crawford county hunt, report, that the anti-Cumiskeys didn't get close enough to Frank's ibex to find even its tracks. Have a care how. you lightly assume to know your own faults and look as kindly as possible upon those disagree able persons who insist upon pointing them out. Your 'butspoken enemy is ofttimes a better jlriend to you than yourself. He shows you your weak points and upon" occasion pricks them. He does this merely for the pleasure of seeing you jump, but if you're clear headed enough you'll treasure his jabs as warnings when your anger is past. Your enemy does you a service that you cannot well perform yourself. You may think you know your faults, but the sober truth is that you detect only about one in a hundred if somebody with a mean disposition doesn't punc ture them now and again. There was once a king of Tang who was urged to behead a crusty old mandarin. "Why?" he asked his favorite who made the suggestion. "Because he is constantly reciting your majesty's fancied faults and in flaming the common people, whereas all who know your majesty are aware that your majesty is faultless." "You impart wisdom although you do not speak it," said the king. "Kind ly summon the prime minister." "Bring this mandarin to court," he directed the minister. "Command him to be always at my call. Say to him that upon peril of his life he is always to speak what is in his mind and naught else. As for the flatter" in dicating his erstwhile favorite "be head him." "Is it thus your majesty rewards his enemies and punishes his friends?" de manded the unfortunate. "Why should I die and this defamer of the king live?" "You die," said the king, "because I dare not trust one who is more blind to my faults than I myself. I would have this enemy always at hand that he may warn me of the faults I cannot see. The old king may have been a trifle harsh in his measures, but he had the risrht idea. Distrust the friend who flatters he is your worst enemy. Keep your ears open for what your enemies say of you. If they speak the truth they are your friends. The eyes of the mind, like the eyes 01 tne Doay, turn outward. It is only occasionally that a fault sticks out like a boil and is noticed by the man who possesses it. Beware of him who boasts that he knows his faults. He is a fool. He has learned neither the difficulty of detecting one's own shortcomings nor tne universal disposition of mankind to regard their own vices as virtues. (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Out of the Mouths of Babes. Millard had two goats, a large one, Billy, and a young one he called Boy. His fathered ordered a: goat wagon for him. After examining the wagon Millard thought it didn't suit as to size. "Papa, I can't use it," he said decidedly. "Billy wouldn't wait for it and Boy couldn't keep up with it." Helen, aged 7, was showing a visitor how fast she could run. when she sudden ly stopped and said. "But I can't show my best running unless something Is hap pening back of me." Billy, aged 5, had often heard his par ents talk of the time required to digest certain articles or food. One night, wish ing to defer his bedtime,- he asked, "Moth er, may I sit up half an hour longer to decide my supper?" Patty is the owner of a puppy. The little girl who sold him gives these di rections: "Dust div him a wink and don't wop him." Baby May had several times crossed the room and made an effort to close the door.

Wily should there be one ear of red corn' while thousands around it are yellow? The chemists gave It up long ago but the answer is as plain as the tail on a dog. There is only one ear of red corn to every fifty bushels grown. When a farmer heaps fifty bushels together and holds a husking-bee, attended by thirty, or forty young folks. It Is well understood that the young man who finds the red ear Is privileged to kiss any girl present. Nay, more if he is coy and back ward, he will be led up to it whether or no. It is called Cupids Rule and must be obeyed. If the red ear be found by a girl she can't go kissing, but she can conceal the discovery un til she can slip it to the young nan she prefers to be kissed by. At Farmer Graham's husking-bee the red ear was found by his son Joe. .He turned pale as he saw the color of It. He tried to hide it, but it was given away, and the girl he kissed was Min nie Davis. He did it blushing harder then she did. George's father chewea tobacco In church, and his mother went barefoot to camp meeting, but the boy was almost too shy to buy a wash basin from a tin peddler. That red ear was the turning point In his young life. He was told, even by his mother, that he was destined to marry Minnie Davis, and that he must set his mind to it. Almost with a rope around his neck he went a-courting and had reached the stage where he could talk of 'tater- bugs and whippoorwills when along the highway one day came a party of gypsies. His mother gave them a cus tard pie to tell the young man's for tune. "The girl you love will be false to you as a wife," was the solemn in formation. "Your house will burn down. Your cattle will die. You will at last commit suicide by jumping down the well!" That fixed George. He stopped court ing and he didnt send excuses. It wasn't a case of jilting exactly, but it was case enough to cause lots of talk and wonder. .The story got around that George was consumptive, and had been told by th doctors not to marry. And then came another happening. A fruit tree agent was taken ill and was at Farmer Davis's a' month. During that time Miss Minnie, was his nurse. In time he learned all about that red ear of corn and the gypsy prophecy. He also became aware that the mail was forlorn. When on his feet again he determined on a plan. The farmer's charges were so small that the agent felt heavily in debt. He went over to Farmer Graham's and got speech with George and said: "I have' come to see you because your case is like mine." "Did you find a red ear of corn when you were a young man?" "I plumb did, and I kissed a bonnie maid." "And you fell in love?" "You bet!" "And you were going to ask the girl to have you?" "I was. I had the night picked out and my boots all greased." "But ther didnt no gypsies come along?" "Didn't, eh?" "And you had your fortune toll?" almost whispered George. "I gave 'em a blind calf for telling it!" "And and "They told me about forty times worse than they did you." "But did you go ahead and marry tht eirl?" "You bet your sweet life I did, and she's made me one of the best wives a man ever had." "And not a thing happened?" "Yes! I found a pot of gold while digging a cellar." "Jerusha!" "There is only one point where our cases differ," said the agent. "Her folks were not mad at me, Mr. Davis and his wife would like to see you hung, and at the same time they are glad there was no marriage. They don't want no such nincompoop as you in the family. As for Minnie, I think she loves you, but she will do as they say. You might possibly get her to elope with you." "But them gypsies." "Oh. their prophecy won't count if you elope." "Then I'll do It!" "Don't say a word to any living soul, but leave all the plans to me." The agent was still making his tem porary home at the Davis farm, and after a private consultation with the farmer and his wife the mother wan dered out into the orchard where the girl swung in a hammock and said: "Minnie, they say that that Graham idiot is struck on one of the Bebee girls. "Do you mean George?" was asked. "Of course." "But don't talk that was about him! He's as smart as any young man around here!" "But look how silly he's acted!" "I've heard you say you believed In the gypsies." "Well. I must have been talking In my sleep. If pa or me ever hear of your even looking at the Graham house as you ride .by we'll be ma 'nuff to turn you out doors!" "I shall look If I want to." Then came the father, who stood around and coughed for a spell, and then asked: "Minrie, did you ever meet Mr. Scott in the villager' "No." "He's the cooper, you know." "Why, if that's the one, he's 60 years old." "Sixty-three, dear." "And what about him?" 1 "He wants to marry-you. I think." "Marry me!" exclaimed the girl, aa she rolled out of the hammock. "Fath er, have you lost your senses?" "But you see, Graham's idiot "I won't hear another word!" "Mr. Scott Is a very nice It was three days later when the fruit tree man had a chance to say to Miss Minnie: "George doesn't believe In the pro phecy any more, but his folks want him to marry another. He says he loves you, but "What?" "If it was my case there'd be an elopement and let the old folks go hang." "I wonder If "I shall see George this afternoon and tell him so. I shall also tell him that at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon I shall be at the school house with my team. You understand with my team!" The morrow came. The father said he had to' go to town, and the mother said she'd go calling on Mrs. Schem merhorn after dinner. Mr. Graham also had business somewhere, and hla wife also had call to make. The lovers took advantage of It. They arrived at the rendezvous almost simultaneously. The fruit tree man was there, also Squire Pelham. "Take hold of hands, my children," commanded the latter "What for?" "To be married. There can be an elopement without marriage, but there hadn't orter be." The ceremony was over in five mln- mu' and tnen the fruit tree man sald: There always ought to be a bridal tour with a marriage, unless the con tracting parties are lame in both legs. "y riS is at the door. There are fruit trees aboard for Mr. Phillips, seven myes down on the county line road. You can deliver them for me and make your bridal tour at the same time. ?el7xfrV!vS 13 a P"rty od tour. Ten Mr. pnilhps the varieties are Seek-No-Further, Wine and Northern Spy.

Some people think there is onlv one hind. Thereby they prove how little of thlmselves: dIscusslon they Pess A man of this class, one of those un fortunate products of our colleges, who have evidently spent their college life in living to learn instead of learning to live was speaking of a successful young busi ness man about his own as. who had just been elected to public -frice. "it's a shame such men should lepreseilt he said, loftily, "I know this man and he is absolutely unpolished, and hasn't any biains to speak of. Now, the man in question wen: to wrk .n this city several years ago as an errand boy. He was fifteen yejirs old. He had a grammar school education and no more. Today he is, no, not a multi-nillllonaire, far better than that. he is? the owner of a small but prosperous, honest, anGcon structive business. He has madu hla money by genuine production. He has made it slowly; there are no enormous profits in his line, and no opportunity for graft, for him at least. His success has meant constant watchfulness, constant planning, constant seizing of opportuni ties, constant application to all kinds of business problems. Tell me, business men and women, do these things require brains or not? Personally, I think the winning of an honest business success means an amount of brains to which the average college professor might well take off his hat. No, of course they are not the same kind of brains which this man's critic has, or thinks he has. But they are brains Just the same, and valuable brains. A young friend of mine wanted to take up hair dressing and the care of the scalp as a profession. Her family were horri fied. They wanted to educate her to be a teacher or a librarian just as her sisters and aunts had been. "Have -you no more brains than that?" they protested. They expressed a' painfully common idea that manual work and brain work are wholly distinct things .ir.d that manual work Is lowering.. Could anything be more absurd? Work in which the hands must carry out the orders of the head requires a different kind of brains, to be sure, but not any less than straight head work. I am sure the lady who makes my hats has more brains in the tips of her deft fingers than many college girls I know have in their whole heads. No work is lowering that Is done well; no brains are to be discounted if they are honorably employed. Not to ac knowledge that there are many kinds of brains in the world, and an urgent neea for every kind, is to prove one's own lack cf any kind. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT BY ROY K. MOULTON. Ambition. Let others work and lose their health In piling up the sordid wealth. But that is not my wish. Let others burn the midnight oils. Devising ways of grabbing spoils; I'd rather sit and fish. Let others solve the problems great. Affecting the affairs of state; None of that on my dish. Let others hew the nation's path And bear the thankless public's wrath, I'd rather sit and fish. Let others lead the strenuous life That's full of worry, toll and strife. But that's not my ambisb. Let others wear their lives away. By living five years every day; I'd rather sit and fish. According to Uncle Abner. More things can happen to an oat mobile in five minutes than kin hap- pent to a hoss in five years. It looks as though the crop of wild oats is going to be as luxuriant as ever this year. It looks as though Woodrow is goin' to disappoint a lot of folks a lot of folks who were sure he wasagoin' to fizzle out. A man who goes to the office to have an electric lighting bill explained to him finds out for the first time how little he really knows about everything under the sun from the ethics of the drama to the nebular hypothsis. A pedestrian who does not give a woman in an electric time to change her mind three times at street inter sections is a candidate for the hos pital. What has become of the old codger who used to dye his mustache and try to make out that he was only thirty-five years old The difference between a journalist and a newspaper man is that the newspaper man has a steady meal ticket.

I KANSAS COMMENT POLITICAL BREACH OF PROMISE The third term mayor of Cambridge, Mass., classic home of historic Har vard, is Irish. 40, and a. bachelor. Last time he ran he told the women he wouldn't change his race and couldn't change his age, but would solemnly agree not to run again before he had changed his bachelorhood. His blar ney got him by, but did he marry? Did Barry marry? Divll a bit! So... now he's running again .and a-lot of" indignant women are after his scalp for political breach of promise. There by showing up another value In this growing enlistment of women's inter est in public affairs. For with. votes for women political bachelors will have to go. in their restraint of matrimonial trade guilt will be per sonalized and he who would bear the honors will also have to wear the chains. When Penrose of Pennsyl vania was once reproached for not having taken a wife, he said he was ready to marry whenever "the or ganization" would pick out the wom an. Mayor Barry can't escape by that excuse, for the Woman's Homestead association, Bostonese home boomers, say they're ready to help him choose if he's unable to do the choosing un aided. So we guess, Mr. Mayor, it' up to you. Wichita Beacon. AUTOMOBILE SPEED. The Kansas legislature repealed the speed limit for automobiles and made the provision that "no person shall operate a motor vehicle outside of cities and villages at a greater speed than is reasonable in the specific cir cumstances, nor at a rate to endan ger life or limb," and it declares that a rate higher than twenty-five miles shall be presumptive (not conclusive) evidence of want of proper care In case any one's person or property is injured. This is a very sensible amendment. It cuts out the possi bility of blackmailing automobillsts by threatening them with prosecution for exceeding the speed limit. It Is sensible, too, in this, that what is rea sonable speed under some circum stances is not sensible under others. There are many places where the old limit of twenty miles an hour would be dangerous to life, and there are circumstances under which twice that speed might be proper. It is up to the automobillsts, however, not to abuse the liberty given them in this law. Should they do so the next leg islature may feel called upon to make another change. Leavenworth Times. FROM OTHER PENS VACATION FATIGUE. The remark is frequently made that va cation outings are "not half as restful as staying at home, except for business." It is true that one may sit In an easy chair at home with less fatigue than on climb ing Bear mountain. But the vacation weariness is really recreative by the rad ical change of muscles and nerves in volved. There Is a fatigue that is de llclously refreshing, strange as it mav seem. There is a getting leg-weary which completely obliterates all consciousness of brain weariness. It is illness, by mis takes in diet or excessive exertion, that Is almost the sole danger of an outing. Nearly everything else is so helpfulIn deed, one might say so necessary m a va cation that all should embrace the re lease. Get tired through and through and sleep by the inexorable mandate of nature. Indeeu, the aim should be to get too tired to worry, or mourn, or even think. Fa tigue is sometimes regarded as an actual enemy by the ambitious man. It seems to block his way, and he rages against it. But one might as well rage against the necessity of breathing. For it is one of the few Inexorable things In this world. Man has invented many things that, for the moment, defeat fatigue. A luxurious railway train seems to laugh at going on loot. But fatigue has wings and over takes the train. One tires of the easiest chair. One tires of the telephone, tires of every labor-saving device for the reason that fatigue springs out of our person and Is always and everywhere a part of us In its season. The demand for rest is the definition of the finite. Every sundown proclaims a vacation, and softly curtains the world to that end. We may trim our lamps, but the lamps burn out. There Is nothing but "must stop." Suppose we do it here, with good wishes for your vaca tion! New York Mail. DEBATING THeTtARIFF BILL. It is understood in Washington that the tariif bill just reported to the senate will be passed without substantial amend ments. Neither the Republican nor the Progressive critics of the measure will at tempt to obstruct action or to delay It by time-killing and record-breaking speeches. Still, If any senator or group of senators has data to prove that the Democrats have here and there cut to; deen. have deprived Industries of needed protection, have violated their own pledges of moueratlon and reasonableness in revision, it Is his or its duty and right to present such data. We cannot have too little of the alarmist oratory of partisans who talk with an eye on the next elec tion. To tell us that the Democrats are crueiiv wronging the farmers because they l ave voted Republican, or that the Demo crats are going to be rebuked a year from next November, or that the president has dictated to congress, is to tell the Intelli gent citizen nothing he cares to hear. Let us have no foolish, futile, irrelevant or melodramatic speeches "for buncombe." Let us have facts and figures bearing on the fairness and reasonableness of par ticular rates. Is the pending bill too radi cal? If so, let senators show just where and why certain reductions are too drastic from the viewpoint of downward revisibn. Revision is the order of the day, the benefit of the doubt should be given to the long-suffering consumer, and the bur den of proof is on the critics of the bill. Chicago Record-Herald.

We do blame them and blame them right now, and do so rightly and with rignteous indig nation. They were responsible for this news paper man's chill. The very mem ories eight year old memories of the railroad officials of Topeka froze him. Responsibility should be placed where it belongs. They were respon sible. But credit, too, should be be stowed where it is due. and the rail roads also thawed him out, and the thawing process is really the point of this story. There would not have been any thawing eight years ago. Then they would have left him rigid, stiff and cold, and would have been gleeful in doing' so. and maybe they would have been given some merit marks in the great recording book ofj railroad general managers.

Time was (we think we have reached the place to begin with "Time was) when a newspaper reporter had to reach 'steen outer guards to touch the door knob of a railroad department head. If he were husky, he might get the door open: if he were brave he might enter: if he were wise, he might stay long enough to be passively ejected; if he were foolish, the am bulance carried him away, and when he was able to get around again he discreetly waylaid the lady clerks in the alley and eot his news that wav. and even then he had to dodge the this tact Drings up a suujeui ir k railway s secret service men or ehdose ulatlon.

E. was skirting unusually near J the truth. Skirting is becoming more truthful and less concealing every day. so say the men who are brazen enough to look. Just to show that he was brave, the reporter did not take his gun with him on his first hunt for news back on his old beat. From a friend he learned that the Santa Fe maintains a publicity department. "Frank Jarrell is in charge." he was told by a fellow newspaper man. "He's a prince, a royal good fellow. Find him by turning right around to the right as soon as you get through the Jackson street entrance to the new office building. Little door there with sign on it. Looks like the side entrance to a saloon. Good place to drop in." So the S. J. man dropped in with a innle on his face and his hat hung over a clinched rist and siatea ms business in as heavy a voice as he could muster. (All this is put on. Of courpe we knew an tne time mat Frank Jarrell was O. K. Every news Dawr man from Alma to Wamego ever studied Greek? knows that.) .farrell Advanced on Him. Jarrell came toward him briskly with arm swinging, and the S.

And oh. ve God-fries and little fishes and a "whole flock of tut-tuts. Here instead of scowling department heads and secret service men sup pressing news, was a sumptuous and commodious office given over entirely for publicity uses with an expert at the head and assistants to help. And if anyone has an idea that the Santa Fe's "publicity department is merelv a buffer between the railroad's actual" doings and the public's knowl edge of them, he is mistaken. There is no insistance mat me i"iuuc knowledge of what the big railroad corporation is doing. shall pass through Mr. Jarrell's hands. Mr. Jar rell i not a censor.

NORTH SIDE NEWS 3Iany Improvements in "orth Topeka During Year 1913. Dibble Grocery Store Will Re model and Build Men Front. Following closely upon the comple tion of the Campbell Drug company s new front comes the announcement that the Dibble Grocery company will remodel their North Topeka store. The Dibble contract calls for a new modern front, refurnishings for the entire inside and new modern fixtures 1 throughout. North Tcpeka and Nortn Kansas avenue are undergoing many improvements. The new white way will be under construction almost im mediately and will not only improve the attractiveness of North Topeka but will increase the value of property on the avenue and goes to show that the residents of the North side are pro- j gressive and enterprisin It has also been settled definitely that there is to be a new fire station built. Everything will be new and modern with the exception of the fire men, they are giving satisfaction. There are also a number of minor improvements that have been comple ted recently and are under way: The North Kansas Avenue Methodist church is being remodeled to a certain extent renovated inside and out and repainted. A number of new business houses have been recently Built on the avenue, a large amount of street paving Is under way. and everywhere in the resident districts new dwelling houses can be seen that are under course of construc tion. For some time after the 1903 flood North Topeka practically stood still aa to improvements. But now the resi dents of the city and business men are convincing vUitors that North To peka is progressing and point with pride to their slogan "Notice North Topeka Mow." Mrs. J. A. Staveiy Dies. Mrs. J. A. Staveiy died Monday morning at one of the local hopitals. Mrs. Staveiy was formerly a resident of North Topeka when her husband, the Rev. J. A. Staveiy, occupied the pulpit of the North Kansas Avenue Methodist church. The news of her death was something of a shock to her husband and friends for during her sickness at the hospital she was re ported in no danger and constantly improving. She was born at Madison. N. J., July 29. 1S70, and was married to Dr. J. A. Staveiy in 1S00. During the last six years she has resided at Atchison and Emporia where Mr. Staveiy has occu- j pied pulpits.

Woman Gives Reason for Popularity of the Slit jSkirt. New- Tork. Juty-S9. Why slit skirts and the ballot should berorae an tsue is be yond niv comprehension.. I believe in botb. That is. I think as a suffragist tnat women should vote anil as a purely hu man being r,f the feminine gender, that women should wear pretty and becoming clothes and nothing in the way of fash ions that I lAve known about since I have been old enough to know anything about them, are mote beautiful than the modes of ttir present time." A very gifted and incidentally pretty girl stopping at the Waldorf with her chaperon, en route for Europe, where she goes to finish- her musical education. Miss 1 lorenee atkins. daughter of r. fc.. at kir.s. who is known as the "'king of the Oklahoma oil lands." made the above comments apropos of what Mrs. Thomas Marshall, wife of the vice president of the United States had to say of slit skirts and the vote. The exact quotation to which Miss Wat kins referred as coming from Mrs. Mars-all: "To me the fashions of today ought to convince anyone that a woman is not yet fit to vote."' it seems to me absurd to hold women responsible for the fashions when anyone who knows anything about such matters, knows that men are arbiters of fashion: that the great fashion houses on the con tinent and New York are headed by men. In other words, the great dressmakers ot the world with but few exceptions are men and they dictate what women shall wear. In other words men make the fashions for women to wear, and for men to admire. Ri. Mrs. Marshall shouldn't condemn yeomen for the present styles if she does nan who helped elect her husband to of fice. Instead. Women are amiable i creatures as they should oe. 1 ney are wiliinsr to make a eown out of a yard o: ten yards of material, depenains on wnat. the "mere man dressmaker declares is the mode. I really think, however, that one i'.9..tn that w.inin nrefer the present mode with the tizln little skins which v M- .raarilli- mum oe mm m uiuc. 7. "Jr.. J for one frock we can have them made out of one ami two yards. Maybe Mrs. Marshall's husband gets enough money to pay for expansive skirts. Mrs. Bryan's doesn't. I am sure. "But, seriously speaking, the present modes. besides being economical are graceful and are carrying out in a mod ern way the styles that were worn by the most feminine women the world has ever known the women of the empire. As a suff-agist. I contend that neither th vote nor fa.-hions make or unmake women. But the modern suffragist is a detriment to the cause when she is but of fashion. If men make slit skirts the fashion, the sufTraaist should be among the first to wear them. She doesn't have to be vulgar or ungraceful, either." CHAINED TOGETHER.

The city tax levy for the present year probably will be the same as last year 70 cents on the valuation of J100 according to the forecast of Roy L. Bone, commissioner of finance, in a letter addressed to the Taxpayers' league. Bone doesn't see any chance to make a cut in the levy, and gives several reasons for it. The league asked the commission recently to do its part toward a cut in the total tax rate to 11.50 on the $100. The rate last year was SI. 67 From present prospects the rate is likely to be much the same, any sav ing there may be in the county levy being necessary to take care of a probable increase in the levy for school purposes. Last year the county levy was 24 cents on the $100. The school board levy was 61 cents. The state levy was 12 cents. There may be little change in the state levy. The county levy is expected to be de creased, partly on account of the au tomobile registration fees, much ofi which go into the county's road fund for maintenance of the public roads. The board of education needs more money to take care of a floating in debtedness on which it has been pay ing a high rate of interest. With the forecast that the city levy will remain approximately the same there is every reason to believe there will be little change in the total rate last year. The big increase in the cfty budget will be found in that of the mayor's department, according to Bone, where there is a lot of new fire equipment to be purchased, and a new fire station for North Topeka. will cost at least $25,000, perhaps more. A motor truck is to be purchased to take the place of horses of the No. 4 station, burned to death recently, and motor truck for the aerial at the central sta tion is included in the budget. Pro vision for several bridges across the Shunganunga also will be made, it is said, w hich will cost money. So, in spite of the materially in creased valuation, it is likely that a levy practically the same as last year will be necessary to raise the money proposed to be spent. A saving of $4,000 in the budget of the commissioner of streets and walks. W. G. Tandy, is shown in his budget already filed. The commissioner of waterworks and street lighting, F. M. New-land, asks for about $1,500 less than was appropriated last year. The commissioner of parks, public build ings and sanitation, W. L. Porter, probably will ask for less money than was asked for a year ago. The budget of the commissioner of finance, Roy L. Bone, will be much the same as last year. The big increase is in the mayor's budget, and it comes in the fire de partment where extensive improve ments must be made to maintain the proper fire protection for the city, it is claimed. BREAD FOR DINNER, Delpliow Threshing Record Wakes Memories of Old Tinier. Israel Alfred J. Dennis. 1725 Kansas avenue- has sent the following "crop" story to the editor of the State Jour nal: "In a recent isfcue of the State Jour nal I see a Delphcs, Kan., report of quick work in the harvesting, thresh ing and milling line, resulting in put ting biscuit on the supper table from wheat that was standing in the field in the morning. "This is called 'making some record.' It may be a record for the Sunflower state, but the Sucker state can beat it. Over 40 years ago in Menry. Marshall county. 111., I helped my older broth ers run a 'handrake reaper- we raked off the grain with a three-tined pitch fork made for that purpose. "I remember some winter wheat that was dead ripe and in prime condition. We cut in the morning, threshed at a nearby farm, took the wheat to Henry, ground it, brought the flour back, and had biscuits ready for the harvesters at noon. "If the Delphos people hadn't had to sock their wheat, they might have done the same. But we did it." MAJOR HARVEY'S DOG. It Kept the Neighbors Avtake Last Night While the JMajor Slept. Major A. M. Harvey has just added an Irish setter to his tax list along with his automobile. The major was presented with a month old pup last night to take the place of his dog Brownie which was drowned at the lawyers' picnic. This dog gave him no little trouble last night, causing him to lose a night's sleep and almost cost him a visit to the city lockup. Major Harvey put the dog on his back porch about 10 last night and prepared for a good sleep. The dog began to howl, waking up the neigh- bors. but it was said the major slept i ing to the officers at the city jail and tne through it all. About midnight the court house. They 1 say tnat the tele police station began receiving com- 5,1?;. c.an l"d'r..f plaints from irate neighbors, and a man was sent out to investigate. He 1 woke Major Harvey with some diffi-' culty at 2 oclock and requested him to quiet the dog. Otherwise, the po lice officers said, he would have to re port the case at the police station. The major then carried the dog to the tent where he was sleeping, and the puppy ceased his cries. He took the dog to bed with him and the canine licked his face and fell asleep.

CHIRP OF A PLUTOCRAT John Daw.son Says Sleeping l'orcli Js the Thing. Attorney General John S. Dawson believes that a sleeping porch is the greatest modern luxury within leach of the poor man. Such a porch is inexpensive, and not only Is a luxury on hot summer nights, the attorney general says, but affords aleep'ng quarters where persons may be thor oughly refreshed and made better able to work during the day, increas ing their efficiency. "Last right," the Attorney ge.KTHl said this morning, "while other peo ple in Topeka sweltered in hot rooms, and tossed about on their beds trying to find a cool spot, I slept very com fortably under a sheet and quilt. It sounds incredible to those who slept meiue. 1 Know, out it is a Tact. AiiU this morning I feel fine just like going to work and working hard all day. In spite of the heat. "A sleeping porch is the greatest thing in the world in the summer.

6 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAE TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 29, 1913- FOR MORE TIME Adversaries of Bine Sky Get Postponement. Law MounDay Case Continued Un til extrida. On a plea that additfo'riatifrfe" was needed to prepare for the -hearing, the supreme court totfay granted a continuance until Friday morning in the quo warranto case filed by the state against Don A. MounDays su gar refining companies. At that time the court will hear arguments in the application of the state for a receiv ership for the company and an order of ouster, denying to the company the right to further continue its business in Kansas. When the case was called this morning D. R. Hite appeared 'with Harry J. Bone as one of the attor neys for the defendants. Hite ex plained to the state's attorney that he had just been called into the case and asked as a professional courtesy that additional time beigranted to permit him to study the pleadings and the evidence. After a conference by At torney General John S. Dawson, Judge Frank Doster and Major A. M. Harvey, representing the state, the question of a continuance was .-presented to the court. A contUwiance was then granted. Attorney General Dawson opposed the continuance. He explained to the court that innocent investors in the sugar company were still sending their remittances to the cbtrtpany's offices and declared that 'an '"Imme diate hearing should be had to pro tect their interests. Further, Daw son contended, there was an imme diate need for action regarding the safeguarding of the company's assets for the protection of investors. He explained to the court that in their application for an injunction against the attorney general and bank com mission, MounDay had contended that the companv owned twelve automo biles and other valuable properties. Dawson was fearful that these' ma chines, if they really existed, would be disposed of. He reminded the court that in an inquiry before the county commissioners this week re garding the MounDay personal prop erty assessments, that the 12 automo biles did not seem to be listed for taxation. "The order of the court will fully protect the state," insisted Hite, "and I pledge myself to see that my clients do not place themselves in contempt. I have already instructed MounDay and his wife to turn their correspond ence and all remittances over to Mr. Bone and I think that additional time may be granted with absolute safety." It was admitted by the attorneys for the MounDay interests that purchasers of land in the sugar company were still sending remittances to the comr pany's offices in the Mulvane building. These remittances are small, it is con tended, and but two drafts, totaling $30, were received Monday. After a brief conference, the su preme court justices decided to grant a continuance of the ouster suit until 10 o'clock Friday morning. Both sides have promised to be ready for trial at that time. The injunction suit, filed several weeks ago in an effort to prevent the enforcement of the provision of the blue sky law against the sugar com pany, is set for hearing Wednesday morning in Judge Dana's division of the district court. A restraining or der against the bank commissioner and attorney general has since been In force and the hearing Wednesday goes to the merits of the MounDay petition for protection at the hands of the court against the enforcement of the state law. HE HESITATED. Did Joe Marsh, and It Cost Him. His Sister's Life. The coroner's inquest concerning the murder of Mrs. Ira Mayhall, who died Friday afternoon at Stormont hospital, will be held this afternoon In the rooms of the court of Topeka. Dr. J. H. Rinehart will conduct it. Mayhall confessed to County Attorney W. E. Atchison that he deliberately killed his wife with a heavy ham mer. Mayhall's neighbors and relatives are firmly convinced that he is quite insane. "Procrastination cost me the' death of my sister." said Joe March,.-broth-r of the murdered woman. "I in tended taking Mayhall to the state hospital the evening of the day of the assault. He has been mentally un balanced since an accident in the Ar gentine Steel Works two years ago." Several witnesses have been sub poenaed to the inquest, which will consume most of the afternoon. ITn doubtedly insanity proceedings will follow the hearing. SHORT WEIGHT-FLOUR The Inter-Ocean Mill Xow Charged With Selling It. A. Fassler, managerof the -inter-Ocean Mills, who -was arrested yes terday by George B. Frost, marshal of the city court, and charged with f fering for sale sacks not containing the quantity of flour required by law. appeared before Judge Garver 'his morning. Mr. Fassler explained that atmospheric conditions have much to do in reducing or diminishing the quantity of flour. He declared" the short lge due to the absorption of moisture from the sacks which' had been in the open air. His hearing is to take place the latter part of the week. Mr. Fassler was arrested on a war rant sworn out by State Inspector I. F. Deem, and gave bond at once. OBJECTS TO FAT BABIES Ioetor Page Says Little Ones Are Smothered by Clothes. Boston, July 29. "I want to tell the mothers of those small babies you've been showing in the baby contest, that every one of them is a little obese wretch," said Dr. Charles E. Page to day when quoting figures on the cost of raising a family. "Every farmer knows better than to fatten his ani mals so." he continued heatedly. "A fat body means a fat heart, a fat liver and fat kidneys and these heavy babies are already victims of fatty degeneration. "Another thing I feel I must speak I about before more babies die.

IN THE SHE WINS THE COURT. i Woman Arrested for Wearing Bloom ers Is Discharged. Chicago, July 29. A .campaign to have the rules in effect at the local bathing beaches revised so that wom en may discard bathing skirts and wear bloomers, has been started by local club women. -This was decided upon today following the decision of Judge Gemmill In the Hyde Park po lice court, that skinless bathing suits for women were permissible. Dr. Rosalie M. Ladova decided to go bathing. She plunged into the lake off Jackson park attired tn bloomers, a waist, stockings and a cap. Police man Walter Straight at once arrested her. "Men go about at the beaches half naked but no one bothers them." said Dr. Ladova when arraigned. "Wom en are arrested when they are fully clothed because, of an idea. It's an injustice women should be so unjustly treated." The court agreed with Dr. Ladova that there was nothing improper in her costume and discharged' her, add ing: "I advise the doctor to seek the aid of women's clubs to have the bathing rules changed." Mayor Carter H. Harrison today de clared he did not agree with Judge Gemmill, when asked what bathers shall wear. "Women in bloomers on a bathing beach would bring scenes worse than those in a cabaret show," declared the mayor. "I am not in favor of such an abbreviated costume."- Chief of Police John. McWeeny, took exceptions to the mayor's views. "Women should have as much right to expose their arms and legs as men," the chief of police said. "The people of this city are growing too prudish in regard to almost everything." thoughThaldup Did Autoists When Chauffeur Applied for Help. The county commissioners have had divers' troubles.

Kansas Utilities Commission Object to Freight Rate liaise. The public utilities commission an nounced today that it would intervene before the interstate commerce com mission in the application of Arizona millers for an increase in freight rates on Kansas flour to Arizona points. Judge A. E. Helm, as attorney for the state commission, will at once prepare a petition asking for the protection of Kansas millers against the increased rates. Under the present freight schedules, Kansas millers are able to ship flour to Arizona and compete with the millo in that state. Arizona millers are ex tensive users of Kansas wheat in the manufacture of flour. So, after view ing the Kansas-Arizona freight rates, they devised a clever little scheme. They went before the interstate com merce commission with a petition ask ing that the freight rates on Kansas wheat be left as at present, but request ed an increase of 17 cents on flour. To put this proposed rate in effect meant that Kansas millers would be denied the right to compete for the Arizona business and today a delegation of mil lers appeared before the utilities com mission asking them to aid in the fight to protect their interests. After hearing their storv. members of the state commission were convinc ed that the proposed change in rates would prove an unjust discrimination against the Kansas millers and at the same time allow the Arizona millers to Duy .Kansas wheat under the old freight tariffs. The state will now take a hand in the fight and will aid the millera oi jvansas in their fls-ht tn kn in force the present rates both on flour ana wtieat. GR0CERSM1AY OFF.

And So the Drummer Told These lams. Among the passengers in a parlor car on the Lake Shore road, was a handsome woman, whose husband shared the seat with her and who would have been picked out as a quiet, sedate, absentminded man. The seat opposite was occupied by a hashily dressed young man, with a lady-killing twist to his mustache, and he was considerably surprised when the hus band handed him a daily paper, with the remark: "Have a glance at the news? Plenty of excitement around the country, 1 observe." The young man was busy with the paper for half an hour, and then the husband offered him a .popular maga zine. This entertained him for an hour, and he had scarcely closed the book when the good man reached over with: "Have a cigar. Thete are prime Havanas, and I knew you will enjoy one." The young man accepted with thanks, and naturally made his way to the smoking car, where he put in nearly another hour, but without the other's company. When he returned he was greeted with: "Perhaps you'd like to look at the latest novel? Very interesting, I as sure you." He read until weary, and upon being offered another cigar replied that he was to leave the train at the next station, and added: "I want to thank you again for your many courtesies." "Yes?" "You never saw me before?" "Never," "Don't know my name?" "No." "Then tell me why you were so very courteous to an entire stranger?"' "Young man, I will explain. In times past when a loafer sat and stared at my wife as a steady job I got up at the end of an hour and broke his neck. This made me much trouble and ex pense, and I changed my program. 1 now carry books and cigars to bribe them. Had you been going a hundred mile3 further I should have offered you a drink of brandy, a new puzzle, two more dailies, and another cigar, and my wife would have secured quite a rest." "Sir! I "Oh, it's all right all right! It wa. cheaper than throwing you out of the window, and I hope you'll get up to the hotel safely. Good day. sir good day glad to have met you! And that young man with the lady killing mustache and crockery-colored eyes and hair parted on an even keel, picked up his grip and walked out without being certain whether he had been mashed in a collision or pulver ized under a landroller. A resident of Toledo had a photogra pher come up the other 'day for the purpose of taking a view of his resi lience, and the man of the camera hail just got in a position when along came an old coon with a buck-saw on his arm, and wanted to know what was up. "Going to photograph the house," was the reply. "Then I guess I'll pose," remarked the old man. "I'll take a position at the left of the gate, and represent the statue of Industry." The members Of the family came out and arranged themselves, and the man called out: "Here, old man. you want to get out of that!" "Can't I represent Industry?" "No, sir!'' "Can't I stand over there and repre sent Laziness?" "No, sir! We don't want you in the group at all." "Lemme represent the Sleeping Beau ty." "You go away!' He drew off to one side, the passing teams halted to give the artist a chance, and directly the plate was made. Kverybody rushed forward when It was. ready for inspection, and the old man was one of the first. As the plate was held up he giggled and tickled, and finally burst into a loud laugh. He had dodged around the cor ner of the house and his full figure was revealed behind the family. "What do you represent in that atti tude?" sternly required the photograph er. "Well, I reckon that's Satisfaction." And the artist took the festive old chap by the ear and walked-him out of the crowd and put in a couple of kicks which changed the pose of Con tentment to that of Sorrow. A man sat writing in a basement of fice on Griswold street. An old man with a snow shovel on his right shoul der and his boots covered with, snow entered with a great racket and two or three "whews,' and placing one of his snowy feet against the hot coal stove he said: "First there was the creation of the world.

If the gentleman ever knew that the old man was present, he did not betray the fact by a gesture. The visitor changed feet against the stove and con tinued: "Then there was the Drift-Period.

If he did there was no sign. "Then came the Stone Age." resumed the old man. as he hunted through his pockets for some tobacco dust.

The man rose up from the desk with out a word, walked over and seized the old man by the collar, and without even looking into his eyes, he opened the door and "lifted" him to the sidewalk at two motions and flung the snow shovel after him.

"I reckon I am, and my name IsBrlggs." "Which way are you jogging?" "Ooing southwest maybe into Indiana." "Oot sick of Michigan?" continued the smith, as he pared away at the hoof. "Well, the state Is good enough," she slowly answered. "Some mighty fine land, good schools and tolerable weather, but I had to get out of where I was. I lost a pound a week right along for the last three weeks." "Ague?" "Humph! I'd like to see the ague upset us! No, sir! My husband wasn't cold before I had an offer of marriage!

New York, July 29. Gems valued at J75.000, including a rope of pearls worth $60,000. were stolen from the home of C. C. Rumsey at Xarragansett pier during the 24 hours ending Sun day night. Mrs. Rumsey is a daughter of the late E. H. Harriman. The theft was made known today. The rope of pearls was given to Mrs. Rumsey by her mother and had a sentimental value far in excess of its intrinsic worth. Other Jewels stolen, according to a statement issued at the office of the Harriman estate in this city, include the following: Ruby and pearl pendant: gold pin, set with magnificent ruby solitaire; diamond brooch; gold mesh bag. Mrs. Rumsey's home was entered some time between 8 o'clock Saturday night and the same hour Sunday.

How the thief entered the house, whether Mrs. Rumsey was at home at the time, and other details of the robbery were lacking at the of fice of the Harriman estate, which had been acquainted with only meager facts concerning the robbery. The theft had not been reported to the police this afternoon and Mr. Tegetoff, secretary to the late E. H. Harriman. who made the announce ment, said that private detectives were working on the case and probably would handle it independently of the police. Mrs. Rumsey is now at her home at Xarragansett Pier. "Seventy thousand dollars is a con servative estimate of the value of the jewels which were stolen." Mr. Teget off said. "The rope of prls was, of course, the most valuable article tak en. I should not like to state the in dividual values of the other articles stolen, but I appraised them myself and have had them in my hands many a time." Mr. Tegetoff added that he expected to go to Xarragansett Pier this after noon to obtain fuller details of the robbery. INDIAN IMP RAZED. Famous Burying Ground of a Prehis toric Race Soon to Disappear. When the work of filling and bulk heading Ellis Landing, at the foot of Tenth street, is completed, one of the greatest archeological features of the state of California will disappear for ever. There is situated on this property at the foot of Twelfth street a shell mound known to the entire scientific world as Ellis Mound. The research conducted in this mound, under the immediate direction of Professor John C. Merriam, by Professor X. C. Xel son of the University of California, was a part of the regular investigation of the "Problems of Prehistoric Man in California" carried on by the de partment of anthropology of the uni versity through the generosity of Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst. During the investigation of Ellis Mound in 1906, 1907 and 190S, 146 skeletons were obtained, and it was estimated by Professor Nelson in his boots." entitled "Ellis: Landing "Mound that more than 3,000 skletons and pos sibly as many as 10,000 skeletons were contained in the mound, showing that it was the official burying place of pre historic man for ages. More than 630 specimens of imple ments, weapons and ornaments were found in the mound by excavation, consisting of spear points, pottery, charm stones, shell jewelry, mortars and pestles, bowls, needles and similar articles made of stone, bone,- shell and baked clay. Also curious whistles were discovered made of tubular bird bone. The conclusion of the scientists was that the prehistoric races which built tho mound were possessed of both knowledge and dexterity and a very material culture.

'"The first step should be a government owned railroad to the seaboard from the i coal fields. Let congress appropriate monev for the first Alnslcnn rp.iirottH Ann thei-A u i 1 1 K in 1 h ti.vt tn.-n va i A 1 colonization movement to the northern I territory which will pale into insig- niflcance the rush to the government I lands within the nation proper.

Thousands of rein deer feed on the moss-growing ranges. and there is no reason why. with proper J transportation facilities. Alaska could not supply the nation with a meat that is more tasty and nourishing than beef." Time works wonders, but that Is prob ably because he never struck for an eight hour day. Puck.

THE VANCOUVER DOCTRINE, An Argument to Show United States Mny Be Dependent Cpon Canada. Every word that has been written to emphasize the importance of Hawaii for the protection of the Pacific coast of the United States must be repeated with double emphasis in regard to the Aleu tian Islands and the south coast of Alaska. The Yokohama-Seattle line Is 1,6S7 miles shorter by way of Alaska than by way of Honolulu. Shift the east end to San Francisco, and the Alaska route is still 1,015 miles shorter than the Honolulu route. In other words, a fleet trying to establish a base of operations for attack ing the United States would never dream of going i,00! or 1,700 miies out of its way to Hawaii when an ideal base, totallv un defended, may be found near the Bering River coal field, only 1,150 miles from Seattle. Thto is a matter which Canada cannot regard with indifference. The United States is by far the pleasantest. safest neighbor we-roulfl- pomiIpwish. At tf;e mere thought of another power in posses sion of Alaska, every Canadian feels his t.esh creep, liis hair stand on end. We simply could not tolerate it. and should be compelled by the most obvious require ments of our own safety to join our forces to those of the United States in an at tempt to drive out the invaders. The moment we put this conclusion In plain words, we perceive with dismay that our help would avail very little against an enemy able to throw his force at will on any point of the coast, which in the absence of railways we could only reach with troops inferior in numbers and equip ment. Tho situation would be whollv different if a railway extended from the OranJ Trunk to Dawson and thence to the Alaska boundary, with a branch to every port, thus establishing continuous rail wav connection between the United States and Alaska. This would lead to the speedy construction of a network of rail ways in Alaska, extending to every part of the coast that is worth protecting. The very sight of those railways on the map would suffice to scare away the would-be invader, for he would know that Canada, in order tn safeguard her own vital inter ests, would instantly place her lines, at the disposal of-. the United States for the transportation of troops and supplies. An imperative motive for the immediate construction of the Hazelton-Dawson line won I be created if it were made a con dition of the transfer of southeastern Alaska to Canada, as has been suggested In connection with the Stephens' resolu tion, introduced in the United States con gress on February 7. We should in that case fel !t our duty to build that line with all possible speed, and to postpone all other railway work until we had seen the first 'train running from the United States to the Arctic circle, even though we know that the line would not pay a cent in dividends for twenty years to come. Some Canadians, in their patriotic pride, feel uncomfortable to think that, in vir tue of the .Monroe Oortrine, Canada is under the protection of l.he United States. They- may gain a peff sense, of equilib rium from the knowledge that -the United States is also under the 'protection of Canada, in virtue of a Canadian supple ment to the Monroe Doctrine, a supple ment which we may. without undue pre sumption, call "Thc Vancouver Doctrine."', after the citv where, so far as we know. It was first promulgated. Vancouver News-Ad verliner. Steel Trust Dividends. Xew York.

My original plan was to go to Vienna and take a river steamboat down the Danube to Belgrade, the capital of Servia. Then by rail, to Sofia, capital of Bulgaria. Adrianoiile and Constanti nople. From Turkey we would take a ship to Greece and then on up the Dalmatian coast and to Montenegro. We will sail home from Naples early in October. "But the Balkan states may not' be very accessible from the north and the route would have to be changed. There is trouble enough in Kansas without hunting a war In Macedonia. I am not looking for a fight. I want to see the Bulgarian blouses and the Turkish harems before such things go out of style. I want to see Greece and look over the country that recalled Socrates and where St. Paul said the people were wanting the News. T am going to find out how the folks live, what they eat and wear, and I am not a war correspondent. If there was a war I'd send. Fred Henney or John Schwinn.

After a care ful examination of the test well drill ed by Mr. Davidson for the Greeley county commissioners on the Lynch ranch four miles north of this place the new state irrigation board accept ed the well and tract offered for a state irrigation experiment station and will begin the construction of a big model irrigation plant In a few days. While here the board notified the county commissioners it intended to put down at least six Windmills on the farm to demonstrate to western Kan sas the feasibility of using the inex haustible wind power that is ever pres ent here. Contrary to general expecta tions the commissioners readily agreed to this plan. They requested the state board, however, to get the plant in operation as quickly as possible and irrigate the farm throughout the win ter to show the farmers of this section the value of winter irrigation as a method of storing moisture In the soil for the growing season. It is contended by many able farm ers here that this method is far more efficient than summer-fallowing, which Is the storing of one year's moisture for the next year's crop. It is their desire that the local irrigation plant, the first to be established by the new board, demonstrate, in its first ex periments, the remarkable value of winter irrigation to this section. their old books to the second hand book dealers. The plan promises to be immensely popular and will save students hun dreds of dollars in the course of their college career, according to students who have investigated into the work ings of the new scheme. NEW DRY FAIOirXG METHOD. Hill City Man Conserves Moisture by Double Disking Fields. Hill City, Kan., July 29. When drouths come they furnish a test for the various systems of soil culture. If the dry spell lasts long enough, how ever, and the heat gets strong enough, the best systems of moisture preser vation fail. An experiment has just been made by Bert Sproul of Bogue. Following harvest last year he double disked a stubble field and let it stand until this spring, then listed it to corn. The stubble prevented the loose soil from blowing and the loose soil pre vented rapid evaporation of moisture accumulated from fall, winter and spring rains. The corn in the field has continued in perfect condition and there is still no danger of failure from lack of moisture below. Several people have made an examination of the moisture in the sub-soil under the field and have reported a sub-soil moisture three feet deep, when the fields around show a complete exhaustion. EXTEND ITERlKBAN LISE. SWAT I UGH BOOK COST. Book Sellers and Trust Will Be tin Victims. Ottawa, Kan., July 29. "Swat the high cost of books," is the latest bif fing campaign that has been inau gurated in Ottawa, and the harmless book sellers and "book trust" who make the always hardup student dig far down into his "jeans" for the hard earned "simoleons" accumulated under the torrid sun of the Kansas harvest fields, will be the object of the attack. G-. A. Puckett, a student in Ottawa university, has organized a Co-operative Book Exchange, which w-iil act as the official weapon of offense of the organization. The bureau will take over all the discarded books of the students and will sell, barter i,r exchange them with other members of the organization. In this way, the tudents will not have to purchase new books or practically give away Will Complete Work to Ogden by August 1. Junction City. Kan., July 29. Hen ry Heuhn, who has the contract for putting in the bridges for the Man hattan to Fort Scott interurban, while here stated that he and his force of men would start about the first of the month to put in the bridges between Eureka Lake and Ogden.

There will be two or three bridges between the lake and Ogden, and Mr. Huehn is here to see about the material for these. ANTIDOTE FOR CAXE POISOX. Kansas Stockman Finds Remedy for Sick Cattle. rrtica. Kan.. July 29. J. C. Hollen beck of this place thinks he has found an effective antidote for the deadly cane poison that has caused him and other cattle men of this section so much serious loss this summer.

Probably 200 cattle have been lost in this section of the state during the last month from cane poisoning. Plant Seed for Fodder. Scott City, Kan., July 29. The cessation of hot weather and the Health and Beauty Answers BI.J1RS. MAE MARTIN Ada: The unlovely corKiltion of your skin is due to the powder and greasy cream you use. Make up and use this dainty lotion and your complexion will be the envy of your friends. Dissolve 4 ounces spurmax in either i pint hot water or witch hazel and. add- Z' teaspoonfuls glycerine. This deliKhtful lotion dries quickly after being applied and gives to the skin an exquisite tint and velvety smoothness. The spurmax lotion cannot be detected when on and will make rough, oily, "muddy" skins smooth and clear. Use If for freckles, tan and sunburn. Myrtle: That unwelcome fuzz on your c-eek will vanish after one application of a delatone paste, made by mixing enough delatone and water to cover the hairs not wanted. After it is on 2 or 3 minutes rub off, wash the skin and it will be smooth and hairless. This method is unfailing, but be sure to get delatone. Lydia: You hardlv need to consult an oculist. Ttw this simple home-remedy: In 1 pint clear water dissolve 1 ounce crys tos. then put a few drops tn each eye twice daily. This will reduce Inflama tion and take out the soreness. If after this is done, your vision still remains blurred, you of course will require glasses. The crystos eye-tonic is excellent for granulated eyelias and weak, watery eyes. Miss C. The cause of your hair being treaky and unmanageable no douubt is the use of soap or some other harful thins for shampooing. Cleanse your scalp ana hair with, a solution of canthrox. Just dissolve a teaspoonful of it in a cup of hot water and you will have ample mixture. This creates an abundance of white, thick lath er that dissolves every atom of dust, dandruff and excess oil. and rinsing leaves the hair and scalp wonderfullv clean. After a canthrox shampoo the head feels sood and the hair dries quickly- with out streaking and is soft, fluffy and easy to do up. -'ma: Tou can soon get rid of that burdensome fat if you take the parnotis treatment, made by dissolving 4 ounces parnotis in l1 pints hot water. Strain when cool and take 1 tablespoonful before each meal. This parnotis treatment is en tirely harmless and reduces the weight without resorting to dieting or tiresome exercises. Rose: You can quickly remove wrinkles and keep the face velvety and smooth at very little cost by making at home and using regularly this greaseless vegetable jelly-cream, which does not grow hair. (Jet from your druggist 1 ounce almozoin and dissolve it in Vi pint of cold water or witch hazel, adding 2 teaspoonfuls of glycerine. Stir and let stand one day. Applv to wrinkled surface an dleave through night, then wash off and use more of the cream as a massage. treatment will remove and prevent the most obstinate wrinkles or finest crow's, feet, while softening the skin to a velvety texture. Read Mrs. Martyn's book ."Beauty." $5. grasshopper ravages, caused by recent rains, has encouraged farmers here to sow some of the fastest growing' varie ties of sorghums for a feed crop. Large acreages of white cane and dwarf milo maize are being sown and farmers expect an excellent forage crop with a fair grain yield. The practical destruction of the corn and early planted forage crops will cause many farmers to pay attention to mil let this year for feed. The ground is well soaked and in excellent condition for plowing. DISTRIBUTE HOPPER POISON'. Hodgeman County Farmers Spread Six Tons Over Fields. Jetmore, Kan., July 29. Twelve thousand pounds of poison bran for the grasshopper war were distributed yesterday from various distributing depots to Hodgeman county farmers, who stood in line for hours waiting for their share of the poison ingredients.

The ter ritory around Culver, Tescott and Beverly, Lincoln county responded to the call. and. nearly half of the For sythe Scouts were from this neighbor hood. Mr. Clark was one of them and was with the scouts in the Beecher In dian fight. There is today only three of the scouts left around Beverly, namely J. J. Peate, Chalmer Smith and Howard Morton.

July Time Needs for the Youngsters The children these hot days need particular atten tion in food, clothing, and other things to keep them sound and healthy. Little things that add to their every day and every night comforts must be had. Where to get them is not always a question easily answered until an adver tisement in THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL offers the solution. Science is constantly at work devising things for the improvement of hu manity, and often these things, amazingly simple, may be had for a few cents, and some druggist or other dealer heralds the news to the world in an advertisement. Advertising in THE TO PEKA STATE JOURNAL is more than the mere mention of things for sale. Advertising is one' of the greatest boons of modern times. Are you getting good service from tKe Stockings yon Lory? THIS matter of jumping around from one stocking to another is generally bad policy. We don't know of any hosiery that is made today that will give as good service for the price as the Silk Plaited Hose' we are showing for men, women and children. To see them on the wearer you never know but what they were all silk. The lisle which is knitted into them is all on the inside put there to insure wear, while the silk is all on the outside to give good appearance. They are not absolutely new we've been selling them for more than a year first in men's socks, then in children's, and finally they were made for women. If we were permitted to tell, you would be sur prised how many of the best dressed men and women of Topeka are now wearing them. It is a hose you should try. They fit well, wear well and look well.
