Heat records in Kansas are being broken thick and fast. Tuesday was the hottest day of the year. Maxi mum temperatures at government sta tions in the state ranged from 100 to 108 degrees. At Topeka the maxi mum temperature was 105 degrees, or to be exact 104.8 decrees, which tied the previous high mark August recorded on both August S. 189t, an August 1. 1S97. Furthermore. Tues day night was the hottest night of the season at Topeka and today has broken the heat record for August 6. The wind died down early this morning until there was scarcely a breath of air stirring, which tended to make conditions all the more un- bearable. At midnight the barometer began to rise slowly. It has continued slowly in its upward course today. This may be an indication that the worst of the hot weather is over, al though the forecast does not give en couragement. Generally fair weather is the prediction. The minimum tem perature for the last twenty-four hours was 78 at 3:50 this morning. IIIIUIS HUB iO a. into iviuio The mercury stood at the 99 degree; mark at seven o'clock Tuesday even; ing. A tvpical Kansas hot wind blew on Tuesday west of Topeka. but here the iwnd velocity was between 12 and 15 miles an hour, not sufficient to be termed a "hot wind." But at that along Kansas avenue tne air tnat oiew against one s face was like a blast trom the Sahara. The hot wind did much damage to the corn in the central and u-.,m nrHnEnfth.9io Accord-i ing to the local weather man it is a marvel that the corn in Kansas has I stood the scorching heat as well as has been the case. It did not' take much to eclipse the heat record for this date for it was but 96 degrees." At 9 o'clock this morning the thermometer reading was 3 degrees as against 90 degrees on Tuesday at the same hour. The Kaw river is one inch lower than on Tuesday, the stage being 3.5 feet. Reports from over the state show that small streams are gradually becoming mere chains of pools. A.re-i port from Ottawa states that the stage j oi tne -uarais aes tygnea river is but three-tenths of a foot, which is said to be the lowest in forty years. A dispatch from Clay Center stated that the maximum temperature at that point on Tuesday was 114 degrees. At Great Bend the quicksilver went up to 105 degrees. Following are the maximum temper atures at government stations for the twenty-four hours ending at 7 o'clock this morning: Concordia 10S degrees. Dodge City 100 degrees. Fort Scott 104 degrees. Hays 106 degrees. Horton 106 degrees. Iola 104 degrees. MePherson 104 degrees. Manhattan 108 degrees. Sedan 108 degrees. TOPEKA 105 degrees. Wichita 100 degrees. Kansas City, Mo 102 degrees. Wind Shirted to the North. The heat record for August 6 was broken between 12 and 1 o'clock today when the mercury passed the 96 de gree mark. The previous high mark was 96 degrees, recorded August 6, 1907. At 9:30 o'clock this morning the wind shifted. The direction for a short time was northwest, and at 2 o'clock this afternoon a six mile breeze was blowing from the north. This had the tendency to hold down the tem perature slightly. The thermometer re.iding at 2 o'clock was SS degrees as against 102 degrees at the same hour on Tuesday. The century mark will probably be reached before the close of the day. Conditions will probably be a little more conducive to sleep to nisht than was the case Tuesday nignt, nut l nursaay tne temperature is expected to be about the same as Vista, in which the minister declared today.

For the period the deficiency is 4.37 inches. The month of July in itself was the driest July on record in the state with the exception of July, 1SS0. The month had more sunshine than any i j.revious July, the report will state. The record for high temperature was tied when on July 13 the thermometer at Farnsworth in Lane county reeis- tered 116 degrees. This is also the record for the territory lying east of the Rocky mountains. There was no rainfall at all at Clay Center. The entire northern portion of the state suffered to a marked extent through drouth and there was a deficiency in the southern half.

Carl Peterson Says Quit Claim Deed All He Held. Two Judges Hear Application for Receivership. "I have told you a dozen times that I don't care a continental whether I have a drop of water on the land or not," Don A. MounDay wrote to United States Senator Thomas B. Catron re- garding the irrigation project in con- nection with his New Mexican land d aled today in the deposi- I tion of Carl J. Peterson of the state banking department- Reading further from Petersons affidavit. Attorney General Dawson showed to the Shaw nee county district court that no mat ter how honest might have been the MounDay land project, that the inno rnt nurrhasers could not secure eear tjt,e to tne iami and that the best title ever owned by United States Senator Catron was quit claim deeds to the 155,000 acre tract which Moun Day and his land and sugar companies were selling in five acre tracts. Arguing the motion for the appoint ment of a receiver for the sugar and land companies operated by Don a, T MounDay and L. D. W MounDaj ana their associates, the state was toaaj confronted by another clever legal tan gle regarding the court s Jurisaiction in the case. D. R. Hite, wno last ween. anwareil in the supreme court only for the individual defendants, today walked into the district court as repre- tn defendants in h might present the jurisdic- an further he tional quest.on-and no I urther, he told the court. The question of jury diction opened up the contentions oi the state regarding the alleged frauds and deceptions perpetrated by aioun Day and his associates in his effort to sell land in New Mexico in violation of the Kansas blue sky law. Two Judges Hear Case. For the second time in the history of Shawnee county, the two district judges are sitting jointly in the hear ing of a case. Once, two years ago, the two judges sat jointly when an ap plication to remove the gas company damage suits to the federal court was presented. Because of the Importance of the controversy in the MounDay case. Judge Dana today called to his assistance Judge Whiteomb of the sec ond division of the district court and the two judges will pass on the Juris dictional questions and the application for a receiver for the sugar companies and MounDay and his wife, who opera ted the land department and were in charge of the sale of land in New Mexico. Evidence presented today was sim ilar to that offered a week ago in the supreme court. That tribunal held that it had authority to try the case. but denied a receiver and held in ef- g order against thej feet a restrainin defendants to permit the state to go into the district court and urge its re ceivership case. Question of Jurisdiction. It was contended by D. R. Hite for the defense that the district court had no legal authority to appoint a re ceiver for either the American Sugar company of Oklahoma or the Con solidated Sugar company of New Mexico, for the reason that neither j wnen got nome x saia to tne dojs, of the defendant companies are doing "We're going to raise wheat the way business in Kansas. In support of his i those fellows say for us to, and we contention, Hite presented legal au- I are going to begin tomorrow.' 'What's thorities and read the same affidavits the use in starting so soon in July which were filed in the supremo I to raise next year's wheat?' the boys court and which tended to show that asked, but I simply said we were go MounDay and his wife were acting as ing to do the way the wheat special individuals in the sale of land in New Mexico and were in no manner rep- resenting either of the defendant cor- Derations. Attorney General Dawson argued to the court that the actions of Moun Day and his wife linked up all of the corporations in the alleged fraudulent land deal. Reading from the affi davit of Rev. E. O. Heide, of Alta lieve that they represented first one j and then the other of a half dozen big sugar companies." Reads Peterson's Affidavit. Dawson then called the court's at- tentinn to an affidavit made by Carl j. Peterson of the state banking de- partment, following Peterson's visit to the land which MounDay and his wife have been selling, i-niteri states Senator Thomas B. Catron of New Mexico pretended t own the land and had given MounDay i an ootion contract for the purchase r of this land at $4 an acre. MounDay is said to have sold the land for $35: and 40 an acre. Eighteen months aro the contract for the purchase of the land expirea. but the sale of con tracts continued. Records which Peterson found at Las Vegas, X. M.. showed according to his affidavit, that on one occasion MounDay wrote Sen ator Catron aoout the water ana lrn- gation rights, which had been adver tised as guaranteed. "1 have told ycu a dozen times." the letter recited, "that I don't care a con tinental whether I have a drop of water on the land or not." According to further evidence which Peterson secured. Senator Catron was at no time able to give a clear title to the land, even though the MounDay contract had been fulfilled. The only record of conveyance to Catron, as shown by the affidavit, was the re cording of certain quit claims deeds. Xeither at this time nor at any pre vious time. Peterson alleges, has any water or irrigation right or grant been issued to either MounDay or any of the companies which he assumed to represent in the sale of the land. The entire day will probably be con-j sumed in the trial of the case. SALVATION IS IN SILOS Silos Can Be Constructed After Corn Has Been Cut. Even Dry Fodder Makes Good Silage by Using Water. "Forty-seven thousand head of cattle were sold in Kansas City In the last two days. Most of them were from Kansas and they were rushed to mar ket on account of the drouth. Let this drain keep up just a few days longer at this rate and it will take five years for Kansas farms to be restocked," said James A. Stewart, general pas senger agent of the Rock Island Lines, this morning. Mr. Stewart re turned last night after spending a day on the Rock Island's silage special. "We are trying to stop this stam pede among the farmers," continuued Mr. Stewart. "Of course it is not pos sible for the farmers this year to feed anything like as many cattle, or even to simply 'carry over" through the fall and winter, as many as under normal circumstances, but a good many have become unduly alarmed. They are unloading more of their stock than they need to, and they are dumping it into a depreciated market, and later when they come to restock their farms they will find they are buying in a very high priced market a market a jnse vl block animaia. When Mr. Stewart savs that some farmers are unduly alarmed he re fers to those who do not know the value of silos who do not know that silos can be built after their corn is cut and that the dry stalks can be softened and freshened and made into silage by wetting it down as it goes into the silo. Corn as a grain crop is a failure, but as a rough feed it is not. Silage I'rom Dry Ftodder. One farmer at Goodland last year cut his corn in the fall and left it iu. the shock until December and then made it into silage by the use of water and got good results. This experience is being related along with many oth ers by the experts on the silage spe cial, to let the farmer without a silo and who has been caught by the drought this year. kriiwthat-he -still has time to build a silo. It is the opinion of those on the silage special that if every bit of corn fodder in the; y "unoreas ot experts maicaies iiiiv an gazed at the bore without under state were nut into silos even silos this season s yield of wheat will exceed ,OI,riir, Th rnmmi.,inn r t built long after the corn was cut that all the cattle in the state could be car ried through the winter, and that very few, if any at all need be rushed to a low market. The Rock Island officials are feeling greatly encouraged on account of the enthusiastic response given their ef forts by the farmers over the state. With the temperature up to 110 de grees, farmers are turning out to meet the special wherever it stops. And they are there to learn. They seem greedy for every word of the lectures. and allow no interruptions, for they try to got the most out of every min ute the special is with them. That the advice given is valued was illustrated yesterday when a farmer from Goodland was met. He Took Advice. "Met your wheat special two years ago last July," he explained, "and I decided you fellows were right and professors said, and the next morning we began plowing and plowing seven inches deep, and after that we kept the ground soft by harrowing kept it so it would soak up and hold moisture, and next year my crop averaged 37 bushels to the acre. My neighbor across the road, who did things the old way, got just 13 bushels to the acre, so now I am here to be told about the silage proposition, and I am goir;g to do as I am told." "When 500 farmers drive into town and stand in 107 degrees of heat for three-quarters of an luour to hear a talk about silos it is pretty certain that they are mighty interested in that subject," continued Mr. Stewart. "It was that way at Mankato 107 'in the shade,' and 500 farmers. And over in a grove of trees by the station were thirty-two motor cars and a number of carriages. It's a thrifty, optimistic lot of people that live near Mankato, even though it has rained only a mighty few times there this summer, and then only in fractions. Silo Saved $2,000. "But Jewell and Smith county farmers learned that even though the dry weather is cutting down the yieids of their crops there is salvation in the silo. In fact if the "sirage special, which is touring Kansas this week, had a slogan but it hasn't: no time to bother with one it would very likely be 'Salvation in the Silo.' The live stock in Kansas will not suffer this winter, the Agricultural college ex perts say, if every bit of feed grown this year is stored safely in a silo of some kind any kind. "Many farmers already know that. They have proved it. And to hear some of these farmers talk you would be sure that they thought more of their silos than they do of their fami lies. But of course they don't: it's just their enthusiasm. There is Dr. L. A. Golden at Smith Center, for ex ample. He put forty acres of feed into a silo last fall twenty-three acres of corn, twelve acres of cane and five of Kaffir. Forty yearling steers and 260 head of calves were fed this silage. The yearlings made an average gain of 153 pounds in four months when fed that silage. Dr. Golden had been satisfied in former years in taking them through the winter without any gain. The forty acres of feed used would not have been worth more than j J4S0 out of the silo. By making silage of it this feed was worth J2.400, Dr. 1 Golden says. Will Be Offered in Caucus "ext Monday. Plan to Make Federal Reserve Board Bi-Partisan. Washington, Aug. ;6. Copies of the revised draft of the 31ass currency bill, containing amendments adopted late yesterday by Democrats of the house currency committee, were in circulation about the capitol today, and were the subject of careful scrutiny by friends and opponents of the president's cur rency reform plan. An amendment adopted by the house committee Democrats making the fed eral reserve board to a partial extent bipartisan by having the appointive members divided between political par ties, is expected to allay somewhat op position based on fear of 'political con trol" of the proposed new currency system. Antagonists of the? Glass bill expect to direct their chief attack in next Mon day's Democratic caucus toward ob taining amendments to establish an agricultural currency, secured by act ual supplies of corn,-wheat and cotton. Friends of the currency measure have urged that this proposed legislation be obtained later and not as a part of the general currency reform plan. CROPS ARE GREAT Wheat Yield Exceeds That of Last Year. Corn Will Be Above the Ten Year Average. Chicago, Aug. 6. Phenomenally abundant crops of wheat and cotton and much larger yields of oats, corn, rye. barley and hay than could have been expected after the adverse weath er conditions of last spring are fore cast in the annual crop report of the Continental and Commerlcal bank is sued today.

At i at ,-onr-'o harvest in store there will be available a larger supply per. capita than at any time in recent years. The cotton crop is estimated to reach the high aggregate of 14,700,000 bales or 1.000,000 bales more than last year, owing to the extension of the acreage of cotton in Texas and Okla homa. The oats crop is expected to exceed 1,000,000,000 bushels, which is above the average though it falls below- the unprecedentedly abundant crop of last year by 413,000,000 bush els. Even the corn crop will exceed the ten year average yield of 2,670.000,000 bushels in spite of the unprecedentedly dry weather in Xebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and portions of Mis souri and Illinois. The crop this year is estimated at 2,800,000,000 bushels? and, although this is 300,000,000 short! of last year s unprecedented crop, the quantity held in reserve on the farms is said to be 400,000,000 more than at the same time in any previous year. The hay crop this year is above the average. It is the second largest on record with a total of 66.610,000 tons, only 8 per cent below last year's munificent yield. The barley crop estimated at 200, 527,000 bushels is far above the aver age and in comparison with any year other than last year is a bumper crop. It is only 2 per cent below that of 1912. A crop of 36,854.000 bushels of rye is predicted which is a little in excess of the high figures of last year. RENTS AREHIGH. American Ambassador to Berlin Must Pay $19,000 a Year. Berlin, Aug. 6.

Heretofore nearly 240,000 gallons of oil have been consumed annually. Did the Late Lamented Today and Bored All He Met. And His Fate Found Him in the Sunshine. The hero and final victim of this story is the perpetual summer bore, the benighted dub who agitates his sweaty friends with the sickly inquiry. "Say! Is this hot enough for you?" He has been sung in verse and song and- story; his requiem should have been chanted long ago; but he still exists. He sallied forth the other morn ing through the streets of Topeka. He visited state house city hall, and court room. He made his moan and mopped his brow and was received in the fol lowing manner. He dropped from his car at Eighth and Kansas avenue and limped up to a newspaper office, where he sought sympathy. "Sa-ay," he drawled to the harrowed reporters in the local room, "is this hot enough for you?" "Get out," said the editor, crossly, "we have a soul above weather, What's the matter with you?" "Hot," echoed one of the force who had a less elevated soul. "Yes, its hot. Tou can't keep cool. Went to sleep last night under an electric fan. All it did was kick up a mess of hot air. The sleeping porch was like a telephone booth vapor bath, and all that sort of thing. I went down on the grass and let the bugs crawl over tne grass ana let tne Dugs crawi me.

The bore hooked his arm in that ot the limp reporter and marched him ap provingly down the hall. "It's too hot to work," he confided, "guess I'll drop down the street and see how they're standing the sun at the city building." The bore found the commission in the council room discussing tax levies and sanitary collection of garbage. "Say," he began, "is this "Yes," responded one of the commis sioners. "It is. That's all there is to it- I've got a camp and a red car, but I can't forget the thermometer. Sure it's hot." The mayor, who was waving a big string. The commission refused to

say anything more about the weather. t and the bore, who wouldn't talk oi anything else, straggled downstairs. He hugged the shady side of the street and dropped in at a drug store for a drink which made him so ill he was obliged to sink down in front of the Cremerie and recuperate. He tried to dan how he could get along with less ciotnes man ne was wearing. i more ne tnougnt oi nis ciotnes, tne warmer he. grew. He wished he had lived in the Garden of Eden and dress- ed, like Adam, in leaves. He thought of the tropics, and swore they weren't any hotter than Kansas avenue on the morning of Wednesday, August 6. He worked himself into a perfect agony of sympathy He thought he would dron in on Mr. "Frosty Flora." but hadn't the moral strength to hear the crisp, "Xo hope in sight," and kept on in the direction of the court house. "Well," he mumbled to everyone he met. "is this hot enough for you?'' "Yep," said the county clerk, "it's too hot to live and it's too hot to die." "What," mumbled the bore, "Is the use of working?" "Got to," said the county clerk, and the bore went on. He took the eleva tor to the second floor and wandered into the office of a district judge, who didn't look glad to see him. "Hear you're going to Colorado to get cool," he began, enviously. "Xo, sir." corrected the judge, "I'm going out to see my boys. What's the use of worrying about the weather? I've been pitching hay in the sun shine. Kansas beats Colorado any day." The bore couldn't stand this phil osophy, and left. He strolled into the j city court. "Hot. isn't it?" he gasped. "Lord, what a docket. Why are you fellows working in August?" "Murderers and perjurers and dis turbers of the peace are so inconsid erate," murmured the judge, who was writing busily, they will operate in the good old summer time.' "That's so," said the bore, mourn fully. He decided to seek a cool room on the shady side of the state house.

He had to wade through the dust to board the car, and had to take a seat on the sunny side. "Awful hot, isn't it?" he gasped to a small girl whp occupied a few inches in the sunniest portion of his seat. The small girl crossed her white pumps and folded her hands. She cocked her curls, decorated with a Helen pink bow, on one side, and re garded her traveling companion with apparent disfavor. "Mother," she said, "won't let U3 talk about the weather. She says it's a very stupid thing to do." The bore almost snorted in indigna tion. He reasoned that the younger generation was quite as pert as the magazines reported it to be. He de scended at the corner of Eighth and Jackson, glared at the sweltering stretch between him and hs desthia tion. and debated the feasibility of go ing home for his umbrella before at tempting it. He almost prayed that a cloud would drift over the sun for (Continued on Pass Iw& DEATH OF HIGH SCHOOL GIRL Has Caused Opening Up of a Serious Problem.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING-AUGUST 6, 1913- RAILROAD NEWS Railway Mail Clerks Sow Must Pay for Traveling Trains. "So Dissolution Between Union" Pacific and Salt Lake Line. TOPEKA MAN IS PROMOTED Union Pacific-Southern Pacific ew Line Projected. Mrs. Harriman Makes Gift for Promotion of Science. The railway mail service has shown great improvement in the past five or six years, greater 10 tne eye ui a man clerk who has been In the service ijr fifteen or t nty years than to the citizen whose enly connection with the service is the mailing and receiving of letters. Speaking of these improve ments one of the clerks who has seen a number of years in the service re marked on the so-called privileges which have been taken away from the clerks. "They were never privileges," he said, "but were simply little emoluments of office, so to speak, to which we had no right. It improved the service when they were taken away. "The fre pass for the mail clerk and his family Is a thing of the past," he continued. "Today a mail clerk is not even allowed, to ride anywhere on his card unless it is on official business. "I took a trip a short time ago. Part of the trip was on business and I used my card. Another portion of the trip was to visit relatives and to fish. I paid my fare. Hr.d I used my card the check would have come into the office and headquarters would have known that I was not traveling on official busineess. "I can remember the day when I was able to take my family and myself anywhere in the United States on my card. Then an order was frsued cut ting out my family from free rides, but allowing them to ride on half pay. Then another order was issued, cutting out the half fare and mail clerks were allowed transoortation only for them selves. This caused some of the clerks to growl about their privileges being taken away from them, but the order stuck. Another order issued about two years ago cut the transportation for clerks and employees of all kinds in the service down to official business. The cards now contain a statement of the lines on which the transportation is good and a check is kept in the office of where the men travel. When a man is not traveling on business it is easy to detect it." LINES NOT DIVORCED. Union PaHfio's President Says Salt Lake and I". P. United. San Bernardino. Cal., Aug. 6. President A. L. Mohler of the Union Pacific and Gerrit Fort, passenger traftjc manager of the same road, are in Southern California on a trip of in spection over the Salt Lake line in which the Union Pacific holds an in terest. The two passed through San Bernardino, says the Sun, on the Los Angeles Limited on their way to Los Angeles and the north. "The Union Pacific and the Salt Lake road are hooked and united, so far as this territory is concerned. You will see more attention paid to this territory than ever before. The Union Pacific 'is going to do its share in de veloping this rich region. Excuse me from discussing plans at this time. The next few years will do much for Southern California. The Union Pa cific will be in readiness to handle all trie increasing traffic between here and the state east of here, which these years bring." Mr. Mohler declined to discuss the building of a road to San Diego in conjunction with the Salt Lake road, as has been reported. When asked about the appointment last week of Benjamin L. Winchell, formerly president of the Rock Island and lately of the St. Louis San Francisco railroad, as director of traf fic of the Union Pacific, Mr. Mohler said: "We consider Mr. Winchell a strong acquisition. We saw a chance to get him and seized it. The Union Pacific Is growing so fast that we needed such a man." Awakening Almost the Dead. Shlkaro Tamomoto, "Japanese Pas senger," has written to the Hon. S. Pacific Company, voicing in earnest but courteous manner some griev ances and suggestions. The letter reads as follows: "Dear Hon. S. Pa cific: I residing in these Suisun City and question, please do engineer 9:30 evening P. M. freight train necessary Mow whistle with so long lasting of sounds for calling back end brake man if 5 short whistle call would wake my baby and back end brake man with same effect each depart ure?

The Southern Pacific has answered Takomoto and assured him that it will do all it can that "all lives be safe with less awaking of al most the dead." Railway and Engi neering Review. Mrs. E. II.

Kingman county is to have good roads, the citi zens having voted by card for the county commissioners to make a levy and designate county thoroughfares. The commissioners had refused to to promote the general welfare and make a levy for the improvement and there are few opportunities for more the vote of the taxpayers was decided j effective accomplishment of this pur on. It was counted Monday and nose than In some form showed there ia a large majority in favor of the roads. There is a fund of $1,500 for roads in the county treasury received from the state motor car tax and the com missioners made a levy Monday which will put $13,000 more annually for good roads at the service of the com missioners. Kingman is surrounded by counties which are favorable for good roads. STICHER HUYS ANOTHER. Osag-e City Editor Purchases Third Newspaper in Osage County. Osage City, Kan., Aug. 6.

Loss to the Bevis company and Santa Fe railroad will probably total $6,000. DAY OF YOUNG MEN ington Proves It. All in Their Thirties and For ties Except Bristow. CAMPBELL WON'T TELL Third District Congressman Conceals His Age. I Doolittle and JTeelejr the YOung- sters of the House. Washington. Aug. 6. Kansas never had such young men in her congres sional delegation as today. Just one half of the membership are in their early 40s; three in their 30's, and one over 50. Senator Joe Bristow is: the oldest, while Congressman Dudley Doolittle of the Fourth district is the "baby" member of the delegation. Both Senator William Howard Thompson and Congressman Victor Murdock are the same age 42 the former being born October 14. 1871, and the latter March 18 of that-year. Congressmen Dan R. Anthony and John R. Connelly are 43, the first be ing born August 22, and the other February 27. I T ..,11 Tj.nlittlA nrhn was born June 21, 1881, has a close second for youth in Congressman George A. Neeley, whose age is 34. The date of the latter's birth is Au gust 1, 1879. Congressman Guy T. Helvering has passed his thirty-fifth milestone in life. He was born on January 19, 1878. Congressman Joseph Taggart is 46 years old, his birth having been on June 15, 1867. None of the friends of Congressman Phil Campbell know how old he is, because when interro gated on this ticklish question he merely smiles and says, "Oh, young!" Ever since coming to congress Mr. Campbell has never inserted his age in his biography contained in the con gressional directory. Neither has he ever admitted to any newspaper man how old he was. But his close friends: think him to be a man of at least 45 or 4 6 years of age. Just why Phil tries to keep his age in the dark no one knows, but since he is getting a little bald it will be a matter of a short time when he will have to "ac knowledge the corn." Senator Bristow celebrated his fifty second anniversary Just a few weeks ago. He was born July 22, 1861. It is interesting to note that the Kansas delegation is made up of law yers and newspaper men. No other kind of business, trade, profession are represented. Six of the members Thompson, Taggart, Campbell, Doolit tle, Helvering and Neeley have prac ticed law and in some instances these men have been elected to the- bench or have acted as county attorneys of their respective localities. i Bristow, -.-Anthony,,. Murdock v anfl Connelley have had wide expertenca.i as newspaper men and are owners to day of substantial newspapers, dailies and weeklies, "Those people of ancient times who expressed distance in units of a 'day's journey' had a more accurate concep tion of the value of time than do those who have been accustomed to measure distance only in miles. To the rural resident, the distance from town or school or neighbors is of little more importance than the character of road he must travel. Prospective buyers of farm property recognize this and will ingly pay higher prices for land sit uated on improved roads over which crops can be conveniently marketed and which enable members of the fam ily to enjoy school advantages, church privileges and neighborhood sociabil ity." This observation was made by Senator Jonathan Bourne, chairman of joint committee on federal aid in the construction of post roads, in an inter view with the Topeka State Journal correspondent. Continuing he said: "As these considerations indicate, highway improvemeent is chiefly of lo cal concern and, therefore, the burden should be borne primarily by the peo ple of the several states,, counties and communities. Nevertheless, one of the purpsoses of the federal government is to good roads which will stimulate the activity of the states and several lo calities. I believe in a plan of federal aid which will help those states that help themselves' and that will lead to a shifting of the burden upon the gen eral government. "The plan I have suggested permits the states to raise construction funds by utilization of the superior credit of the nation, gives aid in maintenance of roads thus constructed, and pro vides for the training of men to supply the need of (skilled supervision."

The senate has confirmed the nomi nation of B. W. Hamar to be postmas ter at Howard, Kan. John C. Girk has been appointed postmaster at Halstead, Kan., a fourth class office. Taft postoffice, Scott county, Kan., will be discontinued after August 15. Apparently the name of this office does not sound good to the present admin istration, therefore the abolishment. L. W. THAVIS. SHE FOUGHT OFFICER. Resisted While Attempting to Take Child Out of Court's Jurisdiction. Great Bend. Kan., Aug. 6. Officer Thatcher, of the local police force was severely beaten by Mrs. Belle Pratt when he attempted to detain her from taking her S-year-old girl out of the jurisdiction of the local juvenile court. Ho was forced to summon bystanders in aiding him to keep her from board ing a train at the depot. No Complaint In Jetmore. Jetmore, Kan., Aug. 6. Hodgeman county is holding out under the con ditions of drouth better than any of its neighbor counties. It is general talk aloncr the Lamed branch that more cream is shipped from Jetmore than from any town of its size on the line. No rain of any consequence has fallen since April 21, but the grass hoppers are pretty well destroyed by the general onslaught of last week. The commissioners furnished the ma terial for poisoning the pests. MAILCAplBED Two Clerks "Are Bound and Handcuffed Together. Bandits Take Everything Value They Can Find. of Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 6. The mail car on the Louisville Nashville pas senger train No. 4, northbound from New Orleans, was boarded and robbed early last night by two unknown white men, who held up the mail clerks. All the registered mail was taken, but no estimate could be made of the amount aboard. The train reached Birmingham on time at 8:37 o'clock, and two of the mail clerks, George Hoover and E. G York were found handcuffed together in such a way that the irons had to be filed from their wrists. The thumbs of Chief Clerk Harry Everett were se curely bound together with heavy twine. The robbers boarded the mail car at Calera on the side opposite the sta tion as the train began to move. The clerks say they were covered with re volvers and ordered to turn their faces to the wall. Everett looked around once and was fired upon, the bullet just missing his head. Chief Clerk Everett said he had no idea of the value of the registered mail but declared that the robbers took it all. Both were short, slender men, he said, but he did not get a good look at their faces. No one besides the mail clerks on the train, apparently knew tne roDDers were aboard. When the engineer stopped for the southern crossing at Fourteenth street, Birmingham, he chanced to look back and saw the two men jump from the man car door. This aroused his sus picions and an investigation revealed the handcuffed clerks. AND HE DIED. (Continued from Paga On.l live minutes only five minutes.

"Oh, I shoot the chutes," replied the governor and grinned. The bore considered this unseemly levity on a serious proposition. He went to the door of the capitol build ing and wondered where he could search for sympathy. He thought of the man who had said, "It's too hot to live, and it's too hot to die." He thought of a hymn he used to sing in Sunday school "Come Out in the Sunlight." Of all inane hymns, that was the worst. If he went out into the sunlight, he would never come back. He advanced cautiously. The sun beat upon him. He staggered and fell. Sunstroke. That was what killed him. A member of the board of health found him dead. They wrapped him in a blanket and buried him in a field. And over his tomb stone are engraved these words: "Say! Is this hot enough for you?" SIX JOY RIDERS HURT. Auto in Which. They Are Riding Strikes Locomotive. Chicago, Aug. 6. Six persons were injured early today when an automo bile in which they were "joy riding" collided with a freight train engine in Fullerton parkway. The automobile tore through the crossing gates at the rate of 45 miles an hour, the police were told, and was demolished when it struck an engine which was standing at the time. The injured all will recover. They are cabaret entertainers whom the chauffAir had taken riding, using the car without the consent of his employ er. He was arrested. HE WOULD RATHER DIE A Barber Shoots Himself on Day Set for His Wedding. Pittsburg Pa., Aug. 6. Frank Wei ter, a barber, this morning dressed himself carefully and completed all arrangements for his wedding, sched uled to take place at 9 o'clock. He then went to his room and fired two shots into his breast near the heart. Discovering he was not dead, he fired another shot at his head, but sustained no injury other than a flesh wound. Then he pulled the trigger of the re volver again, but the bullet went wild. When physicians arrived to remove him to the hospital he refused their help and walked unaided to the ambulance. Would Vote School Bonds. Meade. Kan., Aug. 6. A petition, signed by over half the voters of this place, has been presented to the board of education asking that a bond elec tion be held to vote bonds for a new school building.

Will Meet In Champion Contest 1 Vancouver September 1. San PVannicrn All A TH vtA-v-t 0 j lightweight match with a title of the ring at stake will be for the cham pionship of the world. Willie Ritchie, the American champion, made this a certainty Tuesday when he agreed to meet Freddie Welsh, champion of Great Britain and Australia, in Van couver, B. C, for twenty rounds on September 1. Welsh already has one decision over Ritchie, awarded in November 1.. when Ritchie substituted at the eleventh hour for Ad Wolgast, then the champion, who was stricken with appendicitis on the eve of a match with Welsh. Ritchie had never fought a long distance bout then and went into the match untrained. His sur prising showing won him later his chance at the title from Wolgast, Vancouver, B. C Aug. 6. Hugh Springer. promoter of the Wrillie Ritchie-Freddie Welsh fight, admits that the arrangement was to give Ritchie a guarantee of $15,000, win, lose or draw. He is also to get 50 per cent of returns from pictures, the remainder going to Welsh and the Vancouver promoters. Springer adds that he supposes weight will be 133 ringside, but that is not specified, as Welsh agrees to make any weight Ritchie may require. M'CARTY'S EXPENSES. Billy McCarney Files Statement With Administrator. Springfield, Mo., Aug. 6. An ex pense account of more than $1,000, representing the cost of the last month of the life of Luther McCarty, late pugilist, was approved here Tuesday by Otto Lippman, administrator of the estate. The account was filed by Billy McCarney, manager of the prize fight er, to show how McCarty's receipts from the fatal fight at Calgary, Al berta, were spent. Their share amounted to $4,232.50. All but $26 of this was spent between April 28, when they left New York to begin the trip to Calgary, and May 28 when McCarty was buried in Ohio.

Oklahoma Shooter Led in Western Handicap at Omaha. Omaha, Neb., Aug. 6. W. H. Herr, Guthrie, Okla., and Lever German, Aberdeen, N.

Huntley, Sioux City, Iowa, were high guns. The for- j mer scored 14S breaks out of 150, while the latter had 46 breaks to his credit in the doubles. Nearly 100 marksmen from all parts of the country are here. Chance, who has been complaining about bad legs, decided that he was at least faster than Gossett and ran for the young catcher. Jess Tannehill is now drawing his pay from "Doc" Andrews, manager of the Waterloo Central association club. Jess was unconditionally released by Jack Holland while the Drummers where at Sioux City this last time. This makes four former Drummers playing with Waterloo.

Rockefeller says he is still a boy. And unlike most boys he has plenty of spending money. It is now in order for some patriotic Englishman to donate a cup for inter national competition in cricket. Incidentally, it will scarcely be pos sible for policewomen to develop into cops of the "plain clothes" variety. Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce is likely to lose Its laurels to the Kimmel case which has again been appealed to the higher courts. Apparently. John Bull is no believer in the theory that in onions there is strength. He is preparing to locate a rttval base in the Bermudas. Old Cip Castro seems to qualify for a high place among the felines. His lives, politically speaking at any rate, are apparently without number. If the thermometer doesn't stop flirting with 100 degrees Fahrenheit, they are likely to become married, and then it will be a permanent affair. This job of being a United States Senator is getting more unattractive all the time. A new rule of the sen ate compels its members to work sev en hours a day. President Wilson's determination not to intervene in Mexico by force of arms is welcome news. This country has other uses for the flower of its man hood and its funds. That reduction in freight rates to Topeka on carload lots of bananas will lie more than offset in the near future bv the duty which the Democratic statesmen propose to levy on this fruit and food. Even though they don't receive pen-! sions, the survivors of the Quantrell x- raid appear to be growing mor I liumerous each year. According to present repute, there are now no less than six hundred of them. And the professors who have translated the ancient Babylonian hieroglyphics that conlirm the Biblical Story of Noah and the flood are play ing safe. The people generally are not competent to criticize the correctness of their translation. Atchison's activity, through its fire department in saving the saloon village of East Atchison. Mo from ,Wr., tion, will probably result in a demand I for legislation that will prohibit j use in wet territory or nre apparatus that properly belongs in "dry'' tory. Henry Wilson, the Mexican ambas sador, is also in a position to give ex pert testimony that property rights are not secure even in New York city un der the present conditions that prevail in the metropolis. His pockets were recently picked there to the tune of J128. Secretary Bryan evidently has no in tention of permitting himself to be tied down in Washington with important matters of state durinc the entire Chautauqua season. He announces that further consideration of the Nicaragua treaty will be postponed until the regu fekr session of congress. When express companies get ready to cut their next "melon" there is likely to be much weeping and wailing und gnashing of teeth because of the J23, 000,000 slice that has been removed from it by the recent order of the in terstate commerce commission which makes a 16 per cent reduction in the express rates. New York's banks are again peeved because Secretary McAdoo has no in tention of depositing all of the $50,000, 00 crop moving fund with them. Thev can see nothing of logic in his idea that water-sources and a multitude of inasmuch as the crops are to be moved people' died of thirst; that in the bat from the west to the east, the money tie of Be la, in 1260, more soldiers to move them should be placed in the were killed by the sun than by the vicinity of their starting points. That weapons of the foe: that in 130S is altogether too simple and sensible a plan to appeal with any force to the money kings. AID SHOULD UK GIVEN. Old Man Gloom seems to be walking hand in hand these days with the mem bers of Mayor Cofran's women's ad visory board. Protesting against ity aid tor the Provident Association or hin elge that mjgnt increase the h a fraf.on of a "'J mill, they paint a picture of fortheom- j ing economic disaster that is .likely to produce a severe attach ui umu on every one in Kansas and the nation with the possible exception of a few-old-fashioned Republicans who would like to see the country go to the dogs so that they could say I told you so" to their friends who voted the Demo crats into power. "We believe," say these powers be hind the city throne, "in view of the fact that we have had an unusually hard season; that because of the un settled state of the tariff and because of various other reasons, that we are facing a period of financial depression. We fear the cost of living must be still higher. We therefore recommend that no additional expenses be laid upon the taxpayers, and that the city budget be reduced if possible. We feel that the cities and towns of Kansas must inevitably be flooded with men looking for work; there will be applicants for every position, therefore the man who is doing day work to support his fam ily must come into competition with those asking for work. That the price of labor must go down let not the taxes go up. This is, indeed, a dismal outlook. If It is coming to pass with a certainty, it furnishes the most forceful argument that could be presented for strengthen ing the loins of the Provident Associ- ii-i.u v ennn Dressing in anon. j..,.. Topeka harder than it has been in D,v,-,nria nn the Provi-ient years, the demands on the Association will increase in awe it' portion. And the institution should be pliiced in a position to meet them. Objections to the city giving assist ance to the Provident Association be cause it is a private charity do not appear to be well founded. Technically speaking, it probably is a private char ity. But its activities are of the pub lic variety and for the public good. It is doing a work that most properly should be paid for by the city at large. If the city commissioners are of the opinion that it is not a city s function to assist the poor, they are not alive to their responsibilities. Of course, the ideal method of giv ing aid to the needy would be through a single public charitable medium to be supported jointly by the county, the i city and such donations as individuals might care to make. To bring this about would mean the overthrow of long established institutions in the county. Naturally it would necessitate a considerable length of time to work out the details of such a plan and put it in operation, even if the best of efforts were n.ade in that direction. Until such a system is established here, if it ever is, the burden of caring for the city's poor will have to be borne as it has been in the past by the coun ty a"d the Provident Association. And the city should help to pay the bill by making an annual contribution to the latter. Commendable, indeed, is the dcclar- ation of the women's advisory board against anything that savors of ex travagance in the conduct of the city's affairs. They are right in their opin ion that taxes should be carved to the j bone. But if the city had to retrenen in other directions in order to make a j small levy for the Provident Associa i ation. it would be moving along right lines and doing no more than its duty by the city's poor. Incidentally, the members of the women's advisory board should apply the soft pedal to their pronouncements concerning a calamitous future. Presi dmt Wilson will catch them if they don't watch out. It is generally agreed that nothing breeds hard times quite so successfully as predictions that they are on the way and constant talk about them. And President Wilson has let it be known that he has vigorous pun ishment up his sleeve for those who make a move in any direction towards assist"ng in the arrival of hara times for a no better reason than just be- cause the Democrats are In power nd j tiering with the tariff and various j j has promised to "hang them on the gibbet of public opinion." If the mem bers of the women's advisory board j were struni ut in anv such fashion, i Topeka would never recover from the shock. COLD COMFORT. For those of us who are forced to spend most of our summers in cities, there are a few consoling thoughts, writes a contributor to the August Atlantic. One is that the severest heat does not prompt men to crime, as the social statisticians have found that the severest cold does. Another Is that the worst temperature we are called upon to face falls a long way short of the endurance limit of the human body and brains, as proved by French experiments at the 250-degree level. Another comes from the dis covery through the newspapers, with every prolonged hot wave, that we are "breaking the record" in some line or other. This ought to be a stimulus to our pride; ''and if we wish to carry further the beneficent influence of mental suggestion, all we need to do is to compare what is happening to us with what has happened to vari ous other peoples at various other times. For instance, when the ency clopedias tell us that In A. D. 627 the heat in France and Germany dried the three great rivers of western Kurope j went dry; and that in Odessa, in 1889, the noon temperature reached 144 de- 0,i Cco, ui live in me iiiumiiiE, we me ouuuu to conclude that we are not so badly off, after all. JOURNAL ENTRIES Life is just as sour to some as it is sweet to others. What has become of the old fash ioned child who was obedient? Few are the fishermen who include a camera in their outfits. Most of the prizes for men in the matrimonial lottery are talking ma chines. At one age in life, the multiplication table is the most formidable thing. JAYHAWKER JOTS A crop report, in the Smith County Pioneer: Some of the straw hats are getting ripe. The scantiness of costumes, ob serves the Moline Advance, seems to subtract nothing from the high cost of dressing. T.-' i v Just because a girl carries a book of cigarette papers in her handbag is no sign she smokes, insists the Caw ker City Ledger. Maybe she uses them for polishing her glasses. Some people thir.k it awful that In dians eat grasshoppers, yet these same people will eat shrimps (yellow, slimy worms) and call them a deli cacy. "Chust as you vas raised." Hope Dispatch. Following suit is so simple, says the Atchison Globe, that we hereby offer our bunch of advice for the heated term: When clad In domestic dis habille, keep the blinds down; one shouldn't shock the neighbors. The. idea that you shouldn't drink ice water originated with some patriot who wanted something else in the re frigerator. Try to avoid over eating, which should be an easy mat ter with prices where they are. Bathe as often as you have time, and take time. P. S. This bit of advice needn't be limited to hot weather. Don't worry because your col lar wilts; better wear he soft kind that are wilted when you put them on. Read seme other light fic tion besides your enthusiastic ther mometer. If you can afford it, go to Colorado, where the altitude tries to get as high as the prices. Keep cool. We told you it was easy to give advice, but taking it isn't always so blamed simple. It might be expected that a man had courage to attack a coyote, but few would expect that a couple of children would make way with one of the chicken thieves, says the Rex ford News. However. Willie and, Pearl Armstrong, assisted by a dog,' put one of them out of business one' day last week. The children were out i herding and a bold coyote ventured close to them, when the faithful dog. who considered it one of his duties to protect the children, interfered. The dog engaged the wolf in a catch a3 catch can encounter but held on most of the time and here is where Willie, a boy of nine years, took a hand in the proceedings. Armed with a broom handle, he sailed in and with a few well directed blows rendered the animal unconscious and the dog finished up the job. No doubt the j children are proud of their day's work and besides this the ears of the coy- i ote will bring them a dollar when presented at the proper county of fice at Hoxie. GLOBE SIGHTS BT THE ATCHISON GLOBE. No matter what he gets, the umpire earns it. A pessimist dodges a good deal of disappointment. Never ask a stout woman how much siie weighs.

It has been so many years since that form of crime was prevalent that many of us had forgotten, and it be comes necessary for the "outs" to again remind us that prying loose a chronic job-holder is an offense more heinous than burning an orphan asy lum. In fact, it has been about twenty years since such a wave of crime sloshed over our fair state. Since then, the "chronics" have grown to the seats of the mighty, and it requires a surgical operation to remove them. That's what makes it such a cruelty, and the low-browed Democrats do not. even take the trouble to administer anaesthetics.

The Virginia preacher who burned his official robe when he severed his connections with the church, was un wise in his choice of a demonstration. He should have saved the robe and made it into a pair of pants. It will be a long time before he will earn enough at any other game to buy a jjair. Preaching is like baseball playing, school teaching or being a policeman in this respect: a few years of it unfits the victim for any other job. SAYS UNCLE GAV A good many of us are howling about curtailed" liberties when we are really objecting to discipline. The battle between personal privilege and general efficiency began when the firs1' patriarch drove his eldest son out to herd the goats. It will end when the planet dissolves in chaos. Only he who has learned that one with too much personal privilege is a slave to his own weaknesses is wise enough to perceive the beauties of discipline. He knows that the' 'human being is a cluster of warring desires', most of them suggested from 'without by this or that sensation, the whole lacking in unity save as discipline, subjective or objective, gives that unity. The average individual who has al ways "had his way" is, within himself, a howling mob. He seldom can con centrate his faculties upon one thing until he has accomplished it. One part rebels against another, ideas dispute within his brain, emotions clash in his heart and his hands grow weary when his feet have but carried them to their labor. His whole mental and moral mechanism flies to sixes and sevens and he complains that he is at war with himself. This is the fate of the spoiled child. the untrained darling of wealth and the habitual day dreamer, whom 1 neither the Dinch of necessitv nor the sting of pride ahs been able to drive to slf control. There is no gainsaying the fact that labor is the heritage of the race. Neither is it to ,be .disputed that fruit less labor is an abomination.

THE IOXG ROAD. O it's weary I am of the miles I've gone, I And the miles that are still before, For the white road beckons and stretches I on Past many a cottage door; And I catch a glimpse through a latticed pane. Or over the threshold low But it's shut my heart and it's on again, For there's many a mile to go! Though it's sick at heart at the miles to go And the miles I have trod before. And the dip and turn of the road below Past many a quiet door. A bit of a house when a body's old. With a smoke-wisp threading blue. And a peat-warm corner against the cold When" a 'wanderer's day is through; The kettle singing beneath the thatch. Crooning so cozy-low But there's never a touch of my own home latch In the miles that are still to go. And it's sick at heart at the miles to go. And the clutch of the evening cold. With never a gleam of a hearthstone's glow To cheer when a body's old. O the trail Is sweet when a body's young And the soringtime sunsets burn; There's a laugh and a song on a gypsy tongue. And a chalege at every turn. But O the mifrs that are still to go, With never 1 door my own. With ne-er a welcoming taper glow Or beckoning threshold stone. And it's sick at heart at the miles to go, With the miles I have trod before. And the dip and turn of the road below Past many a quiet door. Martha Haskell Clark, in the Outlook. TffE EVENING STORY ?Mis Starr's Boarder. (By John Hopewell.) Professor Trent peered near-sighted-ly at the quaint little house set in the midst of an old fashioned garden. There were hedges of boxwood smel ling pungently sweet under the June sun; there were prim weedless borders where sweet alyssum and mignonette flourished fragrantly; there were pop pies of many gay tints. Birds sang in the trees, bees hummed in and out of the flower hearts, and back of the house, where there was tiny strip of beach, the tide rippled musically over the stones. Fragance of flowers, song of birds, hum of bees, and the sweet salt smell of the creeping tide indeed, this idyllic spot was the place Professor Trent had been looking for. Here he might complete his article for the "Scientific Weekly" under the most favorable circumstances. He opened the gate and went up the path to the front door. A rap of the old brass knocker brought a bright eyed birdlike little woman to the door. With her was wafted a delicious smell of freshly baked ginger cookies. He lifted his hat and looked mildly at Matilda Starr. "Miss Starr?" he asked. "Yes." she twittered. "Won't you come in and sit down?" She looked curiously at his traveling bag. "Thank you," and Professor Trent bowed his tall head and entered the miiet srloom of the quaint hall. He i followed his hostess into a little alcove f.,ied witn Dookcases. This is delightful," murmured the professor delightedly. "It is pleasant," agreed Matilda; "if you'll excuse me a minute I'll take my cookies out of the oven. She trinned awav and the professor sniffed hungrily at the odors that came from the kitchen. Presently Ma tilda returned with a goblet of birch beer and a plate of hot cookies. "Maybe it will taste good after a hot walk," she smiled. "After you are rested you can tell me what it is books, I suppose," with another glance at the leather bag. "Books?" he repeated vaguely. "Or maybe it's flower seeds but it's kind of late for those or extracts! Now. if its extracts, you're just in time." Professor Trent stared at ner. as he woman crazy, he wondered Matilda was somewhat perpiexeu All the agents she had ever met had been garrulous. "Then it's pills or brushes," hazard ed Matilda. "You see. I can almost guess what an agent is going to seil by his looks. Professor Trent laughed (iitright and surprised himself exceedingly, for he had not done more than smile for many years. Matilda blushed and the professor noted it instantly. "I must beg your pardon," he said courteously. "but it is your turn to inllh when I tell vou that I simply was so absent minded that he forgot t cat man,. r,f his meals. She looked at the leather bag and received an inspiration. "Perhaps you were going to ask me the way to the hotel," she suggested. "Board! citedly. shouted the professor ex- "What?" cried the startled spins ter. "I wanted to ask you if you would take a boarder? The postmaster sent me here," he explained smilingly. "Why I have taken a boarder now and then," mused Matilda; "and my niece is stopping with me now and she can help why, yes, if you think you would like to come." "Delighted!" and presently the bar gain was concluded and Prof. Trent carried his bag up to the large, lav- ender scented spare bedroom and breathed a sigh of contentment, ,.If x were married and had a home like this within commuting distance of the city life would be worth liv- ing with the right woman, of course he murmured.. When the midday meal was over the professor retired to the garden with his writing materials. Here was a rustib summer house with a round table and rustic chairs. Virginia creeper covered it and sent long grace ful sprays to the ground. Here Prof. Trent spent tile mid summer days, between meals; he was always surrounded by piles of books and reams of paper but somehow the article for the "Scientific Weekly" did not progress. Somehow it was hard to write.

"I do believe he's fattening up, Delia," said Matilda proudly as she watched her boarder return to the summer house. Delia giggled. "He needed it. Aunt Tilly; but he don't seem to do much work." "It's kind of a" vacation, I guess." "He acts terribly fussy over you Aunt Tilly," went on Delia with a mischievous glance over her shoulder at the pretty little woman. "Why. yesterday when you were in bathing at Jthe,?horeI he kept running to m ana asking you knew how to swim. He said if anything happened to you he wouldn't be a bit of use because ne couldn t swim a stroke but he was go ing to learn how right away!" "And me in that old bathing suit!" That evening Prof. Trent sat In the arbor with his untouched papers before him. Something had roused him to a realization of the situation. How could ho do any work when ever always before his mental vision there tripped Matilda Starr in her neat print house dresses with her brown hair tucked behind her earsT He felt an irresistible desire to put his arms around her waist where the ging ham apron strings met and embrace her. Prof. Trent thought of the smartly dressed, intellectual schoolteachers who crowded the boarding house tables. Many of them he liked well and one he had found so congenial in many ways that he had seriously pondered paying court to tier; out now he was glad that he was beyond that temptation. He began to find unplumbed depths of domesticity within himself. All of which means that the professor had fallen in love with Matilda Starr. She was coming down the path now. stepping between the tall white sentinel lilies that bordered the path. "Professor," she said timidly, "are you there?" "Yes, my dear," answered the profeS' sor absently. "Sir!" cried Matilda, scarlet in the monnlierht. The nrofessor was conscious of guilty delight in this lapse it paved the way for what he had to say. "I beg your pardon, Miss Matilda." he said standing beside her. "i am atraia j. onlv sooke what was in my mind, "Sir?" repeated Matilda but this time In such a wobbly voice that the professor was encouraged to take ner ton worn little hands in his own, and then finding them all a-tremble. he gathered Miss Ma tilda into his embrace and held her there while he asked a ciuestion. That night a professor saw his leather traveling bag and chuckled softly at the recollection of his first call that sum mer afternoon. "She thought it was books or flower seeds or maybe brushes," he said glee- fullv, "but I guess it was notning less than love!" (Copyright, 1913. by the Mc Clure Newspaper Syndicate.) EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON. How the Other Half Lives. When Jacob Riis said that one half the world didn't know how the other half lived I think he spoke a bigger truth than he knew. For there are many other classes of nentile who know as little each, how the other lives, as do the rich and noor. Once upon a time a woman whose life had been spent burning a per petual sacriflce of energy and time; and intellectual interests, and friend Ehin witb her husband and children and health and nervous energy before the altar of the house immaculate snd the routine all important, put rather too large a quantity of the last two in gredients into the sacrificial fire, and as a consequence, had a nervous break down, and was ordered by the doctor to give up housekeeping for at least a year. Being a family physician, the doctor took the liberty of suggesting that a friend of his. who had a large homa in a pleasant suburb, would be willing to lodge the woman and her family. I have since felt sure that this wise doc tor was giving a prescription in that advice, and Was thinking of Jacob Riis' philosophy, even if he didn't know it himself. For the doctor's friend was "the other half of the world" to this woman. She was one of those wives to whom housekeeping is not the whole busi ness of life. She kept her home rea sonably clean and she always served wholesome meals to her children, but she possessed her possessions instead of being possessed by them, and she fitted the routine to her life Instead of her life to the routine. She was very fond of music and sometimes after breakfast she would play Beethoven's Second Symphony before doing Ihe dishes. Her husband was a newspaper man. and she kept in touch with the news even if she didn't dust the house every day. On Saturday morning when her oldest boy was to be in an important football game, she left the cooking until afternoon that she might witness that game Of course she sometimes erred on the side of neglecting her house work for things that she liked better, but surely no more than the first woman erred on the side of neglecting other impor tant things because she liked house work better. It was a tremendous experience for the visitor. She had vaguely known that sucn women existea. Dut sne aa never come into such close contact with the "other half." At first, of course she was horrified: then she saw how much happiness the other half" got out of life, and she actually began to wonder: and the wonder grew so strong and went so deep that it really chcanged her outlook of life, and she went back to her home a wiser as well as a healthier woman. What a lot of us there are who could be benefiited by finding out how the other half lives. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News.! It takes a woman to believe things that are unbelievable. No, Cordelia, the game of bridge is not always a walkover. Some men never brace up because they take too many bracers. Most of our relatives are about as useless to us as empty tomato cans. It's easy for a sympathetic woman to make any man believe he loves her. Satan gets so much fun out of his business that he doesn t want a vaca tion. A square deal is all a man wants but he wants to be the judge of its squareness. Unless a man possesses some wis dom he will never be able to realize what a fool he is. Fortunate is the married couple who occupy a house in which there Is no room for doubt. In case you fail to put your best foot forward when you have a chance you may feel like using It to kick yourself latsr. Any girl will cheerfully give up a dollar to a fortune teller in exchange for the information that she Is going to be married within a year.

After a successful season in London, TTviK- XT.aHi Thiiw fu hurt in NeW York, where she is to be featured at mmerstein's roof garden to make xew York holiday. It is her first ap- pearance in New York stageland since 1904, When Stanford White and Harry Thaw copped her from the chorus. That is, if you except the performance put on at the Thaw trial; some show. And isn't Evelyn the violet by the mossy stone! Remembering the pres agenting of that angel child period o her cubist career, she says she stayed off the stage so long, waiting for time to paes, so that she might go in and win on her artistio merits. Her artistic merits, you will recall, got her a job in the chorus where looks and legs are the Main Thing, and she got no further before her life-began to be devoted to Other Purposes. And since that period of extended hypo thetical questions, dementia Ameri cana, brainstorms and the like, she has had no stage experience until she began starring in a London music hall, which she hopes to repeat In New York. And probably she will, for the crowds are curious, and eager to be parted from ther kale. But why blame art or give it credit? Nature and notoriety are the drawing cards. Nature gave her a baby face, and Notoriety furnishes the appeal for those whom beauty fails to charm. avejyn s art isn t strictly nistrionic, such as she has being devoted to making fool men bigger fools. In that she has had considerable success, and In that also probably is the real reason she has stayed off the stage so long, the Thaw fortune and others affording bet ter picking. Atchison Globe. UNDESIRABLE FACTORIES. Not all the factories that might be had are a help to a town. There are some that are a positive detriment and some that it would be foolishness to acquire. There are slop shops and factories of textile fabrics that employ children and women at the low;est wages, wages that afford but a bare existence and which are a constant incentive to vice. The population gained by securing such factories is undesirable and tends to impoverish a city. And there are hundreds of ad venturers who imagine that they could build up a big business if they had but the capital to back them. They are the fathers of infant industries seekir; for wet nurses. Once in a long time one of these establishments succeeds but as a general rule it is better busi ness, if the business men of a town want to invest in a manufactory, that they establish it themselves and hire their manager. The factory that does not pay living wages is never desirable and the factory that needs a wet nurse Is rarely so. Leavenworth Times. FROM OTHER PENS FINANCING MODERN WARFARE. War is possible only when the treasury box is full. Soldiers may be patriotic; they may be filled with en thusiasm for the flag; they may think of glory, and go out to battle for their native land. But, unless there be gold in plenty In the vaults of the nation lighlnd the. soldfcrs, the .men in the rirrVks- will -quickly be:-famished, ami no'' warfare can develop. Ever since the Boer war, political authorities have been telling the world that the cost of actual hostilities had become so great that in the future the ques tion of war or peace would rest with the bankers. The nation, we were told, that did not have the backing of the strongest bankers and whoso financial credit was not of the ligh est. could not conduct a campaign lusting a month. Financing modern warfare is an expensive operation, and if a conflict of the first magni tude should break out the effect would be a temporary panic in tho world's markets. But even a second- rate war like that which has driven j Turkey out of Europe, and the third- rate conliict now raging between Bulgaria and Servia, have already had a worse effect upon the markets of non-combatants than upon the financial affairs of the belligerents. Last week Berlin narrowly escaped a panic in making its semi-annual set tlements, and the Imperial German bank continues to strengthen Its gold reserves. Paris bankers have not succeeded in really restoring gold payments because they have falh-d to induce the French people to release to the market funds that were hoard ed last spring when Germany anil France were strengthening their military establishments. Last week English consols declined to .72 U. the lowest price quoted since the present rate of interest on consols was estab lished, and all foreign government se curities are today quoted at the low est average prices in many years. The depreciation in the aggregate In tremendous, and it all accompanies and follows unfinanced war between second-rate powers. The increased cost of capital, which raises the cost of living and aggravates the social un rest throughout Europe, combines to produce such a critical situation that one wonders why the powers that be permit such a state of affairs to ex ist for a day. And one also wonders whether it is not possible that some secret intrigue is responsible for the present state of political conditions abroad, which makes it possible to ignore the cost of modern warfare.

St. Mary's college is just completing what is re puted to be the finest dairy barn in Kansas. Live stock husbandry and dairying has no connection with the course at St. Mary's college, but the institution is a great boarding school which feeds hundreds of boys. A prime requisite for the table of any body of young men is pure, whole some dairy products. In the farm department of the college, the fa thers and brothers have made a thor ough study of this subject, the conse quence of which they are developing a fine herd of Holsteins and are now Just completing this magnificent barn. The barn is in the shape of a T, with the body 108x42 feet, the cross section being 104x38 feet. The walls

are of hollow concrete. 12 feet high. The air spaces in the walls keep them dry and hold out the weather changes. A driveway through the center sep arates stalls for 104 cows.

Two Negroes Plead Guilty When They Are Arraigned. Washington, Aug. 6. Rivalling the enterprising thief who purloined a red hot stove, Samuel Jefferson and Da vid Price, negroes, will be sentenced Friday for carrying off a brick house. The men pleaded guilty in police vi V l'.yy t frill New Dairy Barn at St. Marys, One of Finest in court, but on the motion of their at torney sentence was deferred. Jefferson and Price did not carry the structure off in its entirety, but took it by piecemeal. The building, the property of Silas S. Raish,,had been a brick residence but had been torn down to make way for a more imposing dwelling. The materials appealed to the two negroes, who in dustriously joined in making way with them. When the police rounded them up they made no denial; in police court, because of their open confession, a charge of grand larceny was changed to one of lesser gravity. HOARlOF BUTTER. More Than 65,000,000 Pounds Stored in Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 6. Although Chicago housewives ha'e been paying midwin ter prices for butter and a further ad vance is expected there are more than 65.000,000 pounds of the product in cold storage, according to the report today of the warehousemen's associa tion. This is 10.000.000 pounds more than the reserve a year ago. A half cent increase yesterday made the price 2S cents to jobbers and an- other advance of 1 cent was predicted j for today. Prices to consumers range j from 35 to 38 cents, according to lo-1 cation. j Jobbers attribute the high prices and enormous cold storage stocks to the warfare between the Chicago and Elgin butter boards. Butter jobbers; have been in the habit of contracting in advance for butter, to be delivered j during the season of greatest produc- tion on a basi3 of Elgin prices. This year Elgin quotations have been rela- tively higher than prices at any of the leading markets of the nation. Job bers, have been purchasing more but ter than they could sell and have been forced to place their purchases in stor age awaiting a higher market. There has been an unusually heavy production of butter and so much of it has gone into storage that jobbers anticipate a crash if there is a mild winter. HIS FIRST VACATION.

Washington, Aug. 6. What is re garded by the pension bureau as the history of one of the most remarkable families ever coming beneath its notice was contained in a letter received to- I day from Dr. William Warren of St. I Joseph, Mo. The letter was in reply j to one from the pension commissioner) asking Dr. Warren for his family his tory so that a readjustment in his pen sion might be made under the new law. Mr. Warren said: "I do not know whether there was a family record of the births of all my father's children, of whom there were 25 by three wives, who were sisters and of whom the first two wives were twins and the third w-ife also was one of twins. My mother had triplets, three boys, of whom I was one. They had no other children. All the other wives' children were twins. In all there were 13 boys, all of whom were soldiers. All of the 25 children are dead but my self." The veteran is 7S years old. He will get an increase in pension. Ask for "Copedo" Limes. Adv. NORTH SIDE NEWS Captain .(J. M.

BRADY'S GREAT WEALTH Estimates Place) Estate on a Par With Morgan's. New York. Aug. 6. Although' the provisions of the will of the late An thony M. Brady have given no indi cation of the size of his estate, unoffi cial estimates are published here to day placing Mr. Brady's wealth prac tically on a par with that of the late J. P. Morgan. A former financial ad viser to Mr. Brady is quoted as placing his estate at $75,000,000 as a minimum, estimate and as adding that it might prove to be in excess of $100,000,000. A recent report by a state transfer tax attorney made a semi-official estimate of Mr. Morgan's estate at the same aggregate figure $100,000,000. Mr. Mor gan filled a so much greater place in the public eye, however, than Mr. Brady or many others of great wealth that the reports of the Brady fortune being on a par with that of Mr. Mor gan have occasioned surprise even in Wall street where he was best known. Mr. Brady's Investments lacked the transient factor which made Mr. Mor gan's wealth so well known. It is said that he made over $30,000,000 in tobacco alone. His holdings of Brooklyn Rapid Trs.nsit stock amounted to about" $8.- 000,000 in round figures. In Tennessee and Georgia Power properties he is said to have had investments worth $10,000.- 000 and during the last few years he had put between $6,000,000 and $7,000, 000 into Japanese lighting plants.

IN BED 27 YEARS. Victim of Ossified Joints Is Relieved by Death. Wellington, Mo., Aug. 6. Thomas F. Lockhart, after spending 27 years In bed. practically in one position, to day came to the death he for years had prayed for. Loekharts joints were ossified so that the only move ments of the body he could make were the shrugging of the right shoulder and the middle joints of two finger3 on the right hand. With this shoulder and finger movement Lock hart had written an autobiographical book which brought him funds suffi cient to purchase the home here in which he died and to pay for a nurse to care for him constantly. He had published several other writings, mostly of a biographical nature and emphasizing precepts of patience. Lockhart took to his bed Christ mas night, 1886, following a long ride through a cold rain. He never left it. One after another his joints became useless until his whole body was stiff sis a board. At last death came when the frightful malady attacked his vi tals. He was 4 3 years old. OAKLAND NOTES.

Carlisle is the young brother of Elster Keefer, who with Bob Eastberg have been charged with several petty robberies. The three boys are said to have broken into a case of the Central Cycle company and stolen several knives. The younger Carlisle gave Chief of Police Hughes the articles that he had stolen, al though he had only assisted the older boys in one escapade.

He, along with his older brother and the Eastberg boy 1s under the care of Judge MacFar land of the Juvenile court. The resignation of J.

The secretaryship of the Commercial club is no more a clerical position. There are a whole lot of big decisions that must be made by the secretary of the club and the position is not an easy one to fill. "The board desires to maintain the high standard that has been set by Mr. Kelley in the handling of the busi ness and industrial interests. Under the present financial system the secre tary has more time to devote to large enterprises." PEACE IN BALKANS. Bucharest, Rumania, Aug. 6. Peace was concluded today at a meet ing of the delegates of Servia, Greece, Montenegro, Rumania and Bulgaria. "Copedo" Lime signs exhibited where best limes are sold. Adv. Lovers of old Paris are mourning the approaching disappearance of the Cafe Vachette on the Boulevard Saint Michel, the last of the literary cafes of the Latin quarter, which will soon be torn down to make way for a branch of the Societe Generate bank. Standing at a corner of the "Boul Mich" and the Rue des Ecoles, the Cafe Vachette has long been the meet ing place of well known literary lights, as well as struggling young writers, such as Balzac's Raphael in "Peau de Cnagrin." The Bohemian instinct which pervades the Latin quarter in--vaded the Cafe Vachette from time to time, but never to stay, as the discus sions around its shabby marble top tables were of the sterner stort calcu lated to interest the Bohemians but little. What romantic tales could these old walls tell, tales of struggling men of genius whose names never came into the glare of publicity! What faces could the old mirrors reflect if they had the power! Little by little the men of letters de serted the Cafe Vachette. Some of them have gone where they can't re turn. Others have- sought out more secluded spots. If you should enter its portals today, you would find only a few of the younger generation sitting around its dust -covered tables. One of the last of the. literary men to leave Vachette was Jean Moreas, the Greek poet, who died recently. Each evening about 9 o'clock he took a seat at his table, and around him gathered some of the younger men, who listened to him with attention and admiration. The cafes litteraires once enjoyed great prominence. The first one founded in Paris was situated in the Rue des Fosses St. Germain, not far from the Comedie Francaise. Fre quented first by comedians, it soon became the rendezvous of dramatists, then writers and philosophers. Among the well known' men who met there from time to time were Lemierre, Cre billon, Jean Baptiste Rousseau, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Piron and Voltaire. New York Sun. HOW THE FRENCH PRACTICE ECONOMY "Prices are not high. Why, in Europe my mother pays 50 cents a pound for veal. It is the poor cook that la wasteful!" This declaration came from a French woman, who is making money here by serving delicious meals at very moderate cost. "High prices? Why. everything is very cheap," she argued vivaciously, "but you Americans are wasteful. Al- ways you have the big, big piece of meat, but the Juice you do nothing! at all with it. You actually think it bad form to roll your meat in that wonderful juice. And your soups what an extravagance!" It is not what you pay for your food, but the way you use it that counts, she says. People who know nothing of French domestic economy come back from Europe praising the cooking and the reasonableness of. the bills, but they think that both are due to the cheapness of the food, whereas nearly everything is higher there than here. The difference is due to the fact that the French cook never wastes so much as a bread crumb and that the simplest dish receives' as careful attention as a king's dinner. More over, French cooks use a greater va riety of foods than Americans. The American housekeeper who wants a boiled dinner buys one of the good cuts of meat, the price of which ranges from 12 to 24 cents a pound. Potatoes, onions and turnips are usually boiled with the meat. In many households the liquid, instead of being used as a soup, is allowed to boil away. ir Today t-iOMP Or PICTORIAL VAUOEVILLf Site (Etejr (th&xtrv I J TIB KANSAS AVENUE I Tomorrow A Special Feature Attraction The Celebration of the Great Reunion on the Gettysburg IBattlef leW I iu A Spectacle That Will Never Be Duplicated FIRST TIME HERE The French pot au feu is a spread over it, the Juice in which the meat was heated poured over the w hole, and a dressing of parsley is ap plied to the two ends.

To begin, the cook selects a much larger piece of meat than will be used at the one meal, and the cheaper cuts the shank, the plate and the shin are used. These pieces cost from 8 to 12 cents a pound only. The meat is placed in a very large pot with a quantity of water, and al lowed to simmer until half done; then carrots and onions are put in wholci together with a little bunch of herbs, tied together so that it may conven iently be taken out. When all is done the clear liquid is served as a soup, with croutons, and the vegetables are used as a garnish for the meat. A salad of watercress would be a fitting complement to this meal, which might well finish- with a little guava jelly and cream cheese. There you have a finely balanced, tasteful and inexpensive dinner. But that is only the beginning of what a French cook would do with that pot au feu.. Out of the remains would come at least two more dinners, to say nothing of a few luncheons and suppers. First of all, a generous quantity of the liquid would be set aside for gen eral use in cooking, for a teaspoonful of it added to almost any dish gives just that touch of piquancy which may transform a tasteless bit of food into a tempting morsel. Then for the next meal thick slices of the meat are heated in a cupful of i Take the beef or veal or chicken or lamb bones from the roasts and steaks and cutlets. Crack them, let them i simmer at least five hours, add a few fresh vegetables and a cupful of that fine beef bouillon which you have saved from your pot au feu and you have a tine soup that costs almost nothing. The feet of chickens, which American cooks throw away, are of a fine flavor and a French woman saves them for soup. Clean them thorough ly, add them to the bones of the roast I chicken, simmer gently, drop in a handful of barley and there you are. Beef lungs can be bought for a cent or two in American markets, because no one knows they are delicate in fla vor. Cut them in large squares, brown them in butter, add a couple of onions, sliced, and cook slowly for about an hour. The haslets, which comprise the lungs, the heart and the liver, can be bought for about 50 cents and will supply liver saute, stuffed heart, and the lungs- three meals in all. De troit Free Press.

V'.SSl .34S.M Two fires this morning since day light and another shortly after mid night have been keeping the fire de partment pretty busy. One fire this morning destroyed a barn at 304 Tay lor street and set several buildings in the vicinity on lire. The aggregate loss. however. was comparatively small, being estimated at not more than $3 00. Three of the four fires occurring in the last 24 hours have been the result of bonfires, and improperly protected trash burners. The last was a blaze on the fair grounds just before noon, in which burning grass was extin guished with difficulty and with no property loss. Chief George O. Wilmarth declares that the burning of trash without am ple protection, must stop, and threat ens to make arrests unless necessary precautions are taken. The ordinance provides that trash must not be burned within 25 feet of any building unless it be contained in a trash burn er. The chief will insist that trash burners meet his approval, and says he will prosecute offenders. With roofs as dry as they are now sparks flying from burning trash are likely to set fires almost anywhere. Testerday afternoon spanks set fire to roofs 600 feet from where a barn was burning. Extra precautions are necessary now. Chief Wilmarth says, and he will insist that they be taken. This morning the fire caught in a barn belonging to William Wilson at 304 Taylor street. The barn was de stroyed at a loss', of about $300. Sparks caught a barn at 308 Taylor and another at 309 Polk street, but the damage to both was merely nomi nal. Early this morning a fire originat ing in a mysterious manner in the col ored Odd Fellows hall at 620 Kansas avenue did a good deal of damage. The fire originated in a room adjoin ing the lodge room, and had burned for some time when it was discovered. Only the prompt action of the. fir de partment saved a disastrous situation, and confined the flaies to tke third story. Tne damage by water to the two lower stories was considerably in ex cess of the fire damage. The water necessarily leaked through the ceil ings, damaging the stock and fixtures in the tailor shop of Louis Hoffman, the Job printing plant of Fred E-varia and the piano studio of Miss Eva Mil lard on the second floor, and the shoe department of David J. August on the first floor. Every possible precaution was taken. Chief Wilmarth says, to make the damage by water as light as possible, the truck men being sent as soon as the water was- stopped to sweep the water off the lower floors. No estimate of the damage has been placed upon the contents of the August store, the owner being busy checking up the stock. The stock is valued at $30,000. The damage is not, expected to be heaw. j The damage to the paraphernalia of the lodge is estimated at $450. The total damage is not expected to go over $10,000. and may not exceed $5,000. Chief Wilmarth declares he feels re- i lieved that the fire was held where it started, and did not gut the entire; building as well as endangering ad jacent buildings. HE OWES $8,000,000.

If you are afflicted with a disease such as these men are curing every day, it is to your interest to let them at least examine you. L Examination Is Free Just bear this in mind: Tou will find the chief specialist of the United Doctors will go most thoroughly into your case. He will, if necessary, make a scientific, chemical and microscopic examination. Every modern apparatus is at hand to make the most careful research into the actual conditions of your body. When the examination Is completed this eminent specialist will tell you exactly the chance of recovery. If he or his associ ates can cure you he will tell you so. If a cure is uncertain or impossible the doctors will tell you so and you go on your way having incurred no expense. If You Want to Be Cured They Will Cure Yeu Right at the beginning, the United Doc tors ,wiil tell you exactly what the ex pense wiU be to restore to health again. There are no extras, no guesswork. They make a bona fide bargain with you for a stated sum. It will possibly cost less to secure the ex pert services of these specialists and a posi- tive cure than you have already paid yet without results. Nervous Debility The man or woman who realizes the nerv ous system is weakening, the mind has beccme a whirl of horrible forebodings and imaginary obstacles, it is time to consult the United Doctors. Overwork, disorders of the pelvic or kans. intense nervous shocks cause nervous debility. The United Doctors will restore those weakened nervous systems to normal health. It's your loss if you do not' avail yourself of the services of an association of men who have made the treatment and cure of nervous troubles a life study. Blood Poison "606" (Salvarsan) or "914" (Xeosalvar san) will positively cure blood poison. The United Doctors guarantee a cure if your case has not reached the incurable stage, if the mind has not become affected or the awful eruptions have not assumed the na ture of a cancer. The expense will be small, the happiness of being forever free of the terrible disease can never be expressed. Expert Oculist Added to Our Staff The United Doctors wish to announce that they have, after several years' effort, been able to add to their staff a really first class oculist, and one in whom they have no hesitancy in recommending to their pa tients and friends who may be suffering from weak or diseased eyes, or who have been unable to have their refractive errors properly corrected with glasses. He will be at the Topeka office for the next 30 days and solicits the most difficult cases. He makes no charge for examining the eye. and if you have been improperly fitted with glasses or they have not given you per fect satisfaction, it will be to your advan tage to call and see him.

In the world is in the Rain Belt of Colorado. Mountain showers on the summer never fail to produce abundance of pasture, alfalfa, timothy, clover and gramma grass hay. Big crops of alfalfa seed every year, (there is big money in it). Wheat, oats, barley, Mexican chile beans and potatoes never fail WITHOUT IRRI GATION. It's the healthiest place in the world. No cyclones, no floods, no hot nights, no chinch bugs, no malaria, no asthma, no sunstrokes. You feel like a new man. You will live"" ten years longer out there. You feel like running and jump ing and singing. Why remain poor? Why pay from $60 to $150 per acre here when you can buy much better land in the Rain Belt from $16 to $25 per acre and raise bigger crops and get more for them? Good churches, good schools, good peo ple and good health, and that helps bring wealth and happiness. Horses, colts and mules live fat all winter on buffalo and gramma grass.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING- AU3TJST 6, 1913- IN SIXTH DISTRICT CATHOLIC CENTER ir TO Lucas Settles Postoffice Con test Selects Mrs. Hoopman. Jewell County Not Wailing About Crops, but Celebrate. Lucas, Aug. 6. It was a nice way to settle the controversy who should be the new postmaster at Lucas, and the patrons of the office selected Mrs. Emma Hoopman. There were several active candidates to choose from. The new postmistress is deserving, and will fill the bill to the satisfaction of the office patrons. There are five elevators in Lucas. There will be about as much wheat marketed this season as last year, when not less than half a million bush els was marketed here. This year's crop has yielded in some cases 30 bush els an acre, while the lowest has been 14 bushels. The farmers are becoming en thusiastic on the silo question. R. T. Fowler, ex-state senator, a large farm er and president of the First National bank, thinks the salvation of the west ern Kansas farmers is the building of silos. Lucas Is one of the live small towns with a splendid system of waterworks and electric lights. At "he time the talk was first sprung for water and electric lighting there was opposition, Now that the town is getting good ser vice, all the people point to the fact that the town has these first class lm provements. State Senator Harry Gray, and a large farmer, has made a big succeess of farming. He finds the time to at tend picnics, no matter if it is gotten up by the churches or farmers. He was called to Rooks county to address a farmers" picnic. Senator Gray has put in the most of his time on his Osborne county farm. He has worked hard and got enough ahead so he can live com fortably on Easy street. The First National bank of Lucas, of which ex-state senator R. T. Fowler is president, had on deposit in June last 594,515.37, and a capital of $50,000. Since the wheat commenced to move the de posits of this bank have grown rapidly. The wheat crop is one of the best ever harvested in the section of the country tributary to Lucas. Beloit, Aug. 6. Mitchell county peo ple are governing their appetites to make room for the big barbecue to be given by Beloit people August 27. Every man. woman and child living in the county will be given all the meat and bread they can eat if they are present. Coffee and lemonade also will be served. Two bands will be present, be sides a vaudeville, ball games and oth er sports will be thrown in for full measure. The county harvested one of the best crops of wheat, and alfalfa has yielded good returns so far. Beloit people have paved the way for a big time, and it will be free to all who come. Speaking of the big wheat yield in Mitchell county and the tests and berry being record breakers, the elevator operated by Rodgers Dockstader in one week received 30,904 bushels of wheat, which is said to be the largest amount handled by one elevator in the history of Beloit. Besides the Farm ers' elevator handled a large amount of wheat the same week as well as that handled by the Beloit Milling company. Beloit, Aug. 6. Beloit was on the long list of Sixth district towns to en tertain a Chautauqua this summer. Now that it has come and gone the management is proud of the success it met with both financially and the large array of talent present. The season ticket sale aggregated more than $2,100. The attendance started in with about 3,500 admissions and closed with a full house or about 6.000. The talent w-as all good, and so well pleased were the visitors that more than $1,100 in season tlcRets for the 1914 Chautauqua has been pledged a year in advance. The weather was hot. dry and dusty, but the crowds attended and enjoyed the entertainments. Simpson. Aug. 6. This Mitchell coun ty town will hold a three days' baseball tournament August 21. 22, 23, regard less of weather and crops. Good crops of wheat and alfalfa have been gath ered, and now the people will celebrate. There will be band concerts, ball games, wrestling matches, balloon as censions, motorcycle races, and many other attractions. Simpson is one of the live business centers in this part of the state, and most of the business buildings are a credit to a town of sev eral thousand' population. During the jubilee there will be something doing every hour to entertain the visitors. Sisters Take Charge of Old Soule College as Seminary. Will Build Large Church and TlAcni'tol at Tlrxl.ro fitr I Dodge City, Kan., Aug. 6. The first step in the plan of Kansas Catholics to make Dodge City the Catholic center of the southwest will materialize this week when six sisters from St. Joseph's academy, Wichita, will arrive to take charge of Old Soule college, which will be formally opened September 8 as a seminary. The college at Abilene has been closed and all equipment shipped j here for use in the new school. Un j til a permanent name is decided on the new college will also be called St. Josephs. The next step in the Catholic campaign here will be the erection -of a large church, which will be followed by the erection of a big hospital. I WONT LAST MUCH LONGER. State Geologist Estimates Life of Gas Wells at Four Years. Lawrence, Kan., Aug. 6. That the gas fields in Oklahoma and Kansas from which the Kansas Natural Gas company obtains its gas, would not last more than three or four years more, is the prediction made by Prof. Erasmus Haworth, the head of the geology department of the university. The life of the wells will be ex tended, Prof. Haworth believes be cause all the big manufacturing con cerns, having sensed the approaching failure of the wells, have ceased to rely on gas entirely, and many of them use other kinds of fuel. He also sta ted that the output of many plants that consume a large amount of fuel had decreased materially. These con ditions help the situation to a great extent, but the outlook then, is not promising in the least. Housewives in the near future will have to burn coal and wood in their stoves instead of gas. The Cushing fields upon which many are counting a great deal, Mr. Ha worth thinks may give out at any time. These fields may be similar to the Hogsugar fields, which gave out con trary to the statements of many auth orities. Mr. Haworth's statement was: "At the present time I do not think that the gas in the Kansas and Oklahoma fields will last more than three or four years more, if used only for household purposes."

Duck hunters who believe that fall shooting ought to be permitted on the Missouri river will have an opportunity to be heard at a meeting in Omaha. Dr. T. S. Palmer, acting chief of the biologi cal department, has informed local sportsmen. It was the plan of the government to prohibit fall shooting on the Missouri river and on all gov ernment land along the Missouri river for all time to come. Claiming such a law is unfair several Atchison hunters will go to Omaha and file objections, and others will send written protests. The proposed law would have the effect of class legislation, the sports men claim. Rich men can afford to lease large lakes as hunting preserves, but the only good hunting grounds available to shooters of moderate means are the rivers. Sportsmen from four states. Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska, will attend the meet ing. Commercial Club Goes After Scott City Northern. Dodge City, Kan., Aug. 6. The Dodge City Commercial club has decided to go after the extension of the Scott City Northern and the Midland Val ley railroads with the same degree of energy it pursued to Colmor cutoff of the Santa Fe. It believes that a junc tion here of these two roads would materially aid the city in its plans of expansion and that the aid Dodge City and Ford county could give the two railroads would be of advantage to them. P. H. Sughrue has been appoint ed special representative of the club to confer with the Midland Valley offi cials and determine what they desire from this vicinity. L. J. Pettijohn. re ceiver of the Dodge City land office, has been chosen for the same duties with the Scott City Northern. Both men have dates within the next few days with representative road authori ties and farmers living along the pro posed routes will be present at the con ferences to speak for themselves and neighbors in the matter of right-of-way grants. A special meeting of the club will be held in the near future for business men here to learn of the railroads' demands and determine whether they can be matched. This means your privilege to select a pair of stylish pumps, one or two strap pumps, button or lace oxfords, in suedes, patents, gun metals, kids, nubuck or canvas at half the regular price.

Wichita Boy Had Sore Feet and May Face Court Martial. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 6. That a member of the National Guard is lia ble to court martial, should he desert while the state troops are attending an encampment or maneuvers under the direction of the war department, is what Captain Frank E. Barr of company A, Second Kansas regiment, believes. As a result Captain Harry A. Menkemyer of company I, will in all probability cause the arrest of a young Wichitan, who left his company at Fort Riley last week without leave. According to members of company I, this youth became awfully tired on tho second day at the camp. On the third day he refused to take part in the drills, complaining of sore feet. He did not want to have the army doc tors attend to his "tootsies," and when left alone he disappeared. BELOIT SHORT ON WATER. Remove the Cause of .HD.GESTIQ.4 Horsford's Acid Phosphate relieves impaired digestion ac companied by nausea, insom nia, sick headache or acid stomach. Half a teaspoonful in half a glass of water brings quick relief. Horsford's Acid Phosphate (Non-Alcoholic) Put Pennlty on Consumers for Sprink .lins Lawns. Beloit, Kan., Aug. 6. Fearing a shortage of water because of the long drouth, the city board of health has ordered that no water be used for lawn sprinkling until it rains, or if it doesn't raiu for about six months, until" the new pump for which the contract has been let is installed and a supply well is placed in commission. While there is an abundance of water for all or dinary purposes, the long drouth is making the big pump station west ot town work overtime, and in order to have plenty of water for fire protec tion, the board has made it a misdea meanor punishable by a fine of $100 to use water for lawn purposes. RAIN ENCOURAGES FARMERS. Allow Hoppers to Take Old Crops Prepare for Fall Planting. Meade, Krin.. Aug. 6. Recent heavy rains have stilled the enthusiasm with which the grasshopper started about a week ago. Millions of the hoppers were killed by the rains and a majority of the farmers are taking advantage of the wet condition of the ground to plow rather than fighting hoppers. The dry condition of the ground has caused such grave fear that no fall crops could be planted that farmers say they are glad to turn the poor feed prospects over to the hoppers in return for the chance to get the 1914 wheat crop planted. GILSON GOES TO EMPORIA. Winfield Professor WUI Be Member of Faculty at Normal. Winfield, Kan., Aug. 6. Professor Franklin L. Gilson, for eleven yearr head of the school of expression at Southwestern college,, has accepted a First Officiated In 1866 and Actively Engaged Now. Salina, Kan., Aug. 6. Professor W. H. Stewart of Salina, who claims dis tinction of being the oldest school teacher, in point of service, in Kan sas, is in receipt of a letter which he finds to be the most interesting as well as satisfactory one of his life. This letter was written by Davia N. Tidrick of Londonderry, O. It was received by Mr. Stewart and answered by him before retiring that night. In the year 1866, when Mr. Stew art taught his first term of school, Mr. Tidrick was among a large class of his pupils and also attended the same school, located at Londonderry when Mr. Stewart was the teacher in 18 67. The two became close friends as they roomed together at the home of Mr. Tidrick's parents. In 1867, Mr. Stew art moved to Kansas and in the years that have lapsed since that time the two men have never heard from one another until the letter of Friday morning. It seems several years ago Mr. Tidrick heard a man by the name of Mr. Logan mention Mr. Stewart's name and upon inquiry was informed that his address might be obtained from Mr. Stewart's sister at Cam bridge, O. He immediately wrote the sister for the desired information. CLAIMS THRESHING RECORD. almost in as good condition as corn usually looks here the first of August. Each of the stalks carried one ear, and one carried two ears. The ears are well filled entirely to the end. He says he has 109 acres of which the one hill is a fair sample.

Frank Vleck. living at Wilson, and running a threshing machine near this place, this summer, claims the distinction of having turned out more wheat from his machine in one day than any other man in Kansas. On the John Dlabal farm, three miles west of this place, he threshed 3,168 bushels of wheat in ten hours. He declares he could have turned out several hundred more bushels before sundown, but Dlabal ran out of wheat. PREACH TO LUMBERJACKS. Wichita Minister Starts for Logging Camp on Motorcycle. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 6. Fulfilling a promise he made several months ago. .u. J. iMitcnell started for the j lumber camps of the northwest on a motorcycle, where he will preach the j Bible to the lumberjacks. Mr. Mitch- ell has been leader of the First Bap- uiunn gospei team ever since it was organized. "If I feel that I am called to preach to those men," Mr. Mitchell said, "I will do it. I've agreed to give my life to serving Christ." Mr. Mitchell will travel by way of Denver. If the Snake River is in condition he may travel on it on barge. LEFT SOME GOOD CORN. Farmer Exhibits Stalks 10 Feet Long Not Killed by Drouth. ainmrtn Wnn A us". 6. The idea that all the corn in central Kansas is dead because of the drouth is erro neous, as A.

Stansfield Advises Use of Samose. While thinness may not be a dis ease, yet it is in reality a condition that needs attention. Under the nour ishing power of Samose healthy, nat ural flesh will 'soon be attached. This remarkable flesh-forming food J strengthens the system generally and j builds up the fleshy tissues so that good, natural plumpness results. An ounce of flesh is better than a pound of theory. Geo. W. Stansfield believes that the best possible dem onstration of the flesh-forming pow ers of Samose is to have it tried by his customers and to induce them to use it he offers to pay for the Sa mose in case it does not give satisfac tion. No stronger proof than this can be given of his faith In it. He has seen hundreds who were weak, thin and scrawny become plump, ro bust and strong, solely through, the use of Samose. Adv. FACING GRASS FAMINE. Leavenworth Farmers Put Stock on Dry Feed. Leavenworth, Kan., Aug. 6. Fol lowing a day of hot winds and a tem perature that reached 102 during the afternoon a light shower fell here Tuesday evening. The precipitation was not sufficient to be of value to crops. Pastures are burned out and many stockmen are facing a grass famine. Dairymen have put their herds on dry feed and the price of milk has been advanced. Only a few stagnant pools are left in the creeks and many wells are dry. GOVERNOR WAS GAME. Talked to Veterans and Shot the Chutes with Miss Huffman. Columbus, Kan., Aug. 6. Govern or George H. Hodges, the principal speaker at the Cherokee County Old Settlers' reunion, motored to the re union grounds with Senator C. S. Huffman and family. One of the first sights that attracted their attention was a "shoot-the-chutes" in the chil dren's playgrounds. "I dare you to shoot the chutes." I Miss Nona Clare Huffman challenged the governor. "I will if you will," replied the gov ernor. Miss Huffman negotiated, the slide with neatnes sand despatch and the governor never faltered.
