TODAY IS ANOTHER 100-DAY The Eighth Consecutive Day of Suffering. Rain Predicted for Last of the Week. Last night was the hottest night on record at Topeka. The coolest tem perature during the night was 82 at 6 ti. m. It was 97 at 7 p. m. and staid above 90 till midnight. The mercury again reached the 100 degree point to day and this for the eighth consecu time time in as many days. This ex ceeds the August record for 100 de gree temperature by five days. And what is more the record for number of hot nights in succession in the last 2 7 years or since the records have been kept at Topeka have been smash ed. For seven nights the minimum temperature has not been below 75 degrees. But one week has been hotter than the week ending today -the week end ing July 25. 1901, when the average temperature was 92 degrees as against 9 0 degrees the last week. The weather man says there is no relief scheduled from the heat. Gen erally fair weather with not much change in temperature is the brand of atmospheric conditions slated. The forecast for the week promises show ers bv the end of the week. Although there were clouds last night in the west and northwest, a brillrint electrical display and an oc casional grumbling of thunder in the distance, Topeka failed to receive the thunder storm that was halfway ex pucted. Over at St. Joseph a shower that netted one-fifth of an inch fell, result ing the cooling of the atmosphere to an appreciable degree, but doing little benefit to crops. Horton got .22 of an inch and Macksville in south central Kansas .88. A report from Marysville is to the effect that there was a light slvfwer at that point. An Associated Press dispatch from "Wichita received today reads: "Predictions for rain in south cen tral Kansas Sunday failed and the temperature again reached 102. Today dawned clear and hot with indications of the temperature of 100 degrees or over." Sunday night was the hottest night of the year at Hutchinson. The Santa Fe reports good showers in the north central- portion of the state. Three-quarters of an inch of rain fell at Minneapolis in Ottawa coun ty, according to the statement made and a light shower at Manchester. Heavy showers are reported between Kinsley and Macksville. "Sunny" Flora, the local observer, in commenting today upon the failure of the forecaster at Washington to pro duce a thunder storm at Topeka said: "Signs that ordinarily produce rain will fail in dry and hot weather. There was some thunder last night but no rain here." The almost suffocating heat Sunday night resulted in hundreds of Topekans complaining today of "that tired feel ing." Fortunately about midnight there was a breeze blowing from the southwest at the rate of 15 miles an hour, that gave slight relief. The tem perature at 7 o'clock last night was 97.4 degrees and as previously men tioned the minimum temperature at 7 o'clock this morning was 82.1 degrees. The previous record for high minimum temperature 81.8 degrees recorded on July 17. 1901. The hywest temperature last Friday night, it will be remember ed, was 81.3 degrees. This broke the previous August record. Heavy rains are reported from the northern central states and the lake region. The heaviest rain reported was at "Williston. 17. D.. where 1.4 inches was recorded. In Chicago, .68 of an inch fell, and about an equal amount was reported throughout the state of Wis consin. Indiana and Ohio. Kansas City. Mo., had .01 of an inch. Omaha only a little relief from the heat. Sioux City, Iowa, reported .74 of an inch: Davenport had .90 and Dos Moines .44. Following i.-i the forecast for the week: Temperatures below normal 'ire promised for this week only to the northwestern states and the Pacific slope. "The distribution of atmospheric pressure over the American continent and the adjacent oceans." said the we.ithcr bureau's weekly bulletin to day, "is such as to indicate temperatures below irormsi during the week in the northwestern stales and the Pacific slope: high temperatures in the first half of the week in the southern plains states ana tne lower Mississippi valley, followed by lower temperatures in these regions Thursday or Friday; warm weather during the week in the gulf and South Atlantic states: mod erate temperature the first half week In the region of the Great Lakes, the upper Ohio valley anil the middle At lantic and New England states will be followed by warmer in these regions after Wednesday. "In the regions of drouth, the mid dle Mississippi valley and the middle and southern plains states, tempera tures will continue high during the first half of the week, while during the latter half of the week the weather in these districts will be cooler, with a probability of well distributed showers. The precipitation during the week will be fairly well distributed." The northwestern portion of the state is the only section of Kansas that has received any relief from the heat. At Dresden the maximum tempera ture on Sunday was but 90 degrees. McPherson was the hottest point among the government stations that reported this morning. Following is a list of the maximum temperatures at government stations: Dodsre City WO degrees Dresden 90 decrees Kmporta 104 desrrees Fort Scott 102 degrees Hays 100 degrees Horton 104 degrees Iola ,...100 degrees McPherson 108 degrees Macksville 104 degrees Manhattan 106 degrees Sedan 106 degrees TOPEKA 101 degrees Wichita 100 degrees Kansas City, Mo 100 degrees St. Joseph, Mo 102 degrees Abilene 100 degrees Amarillo 9S degrees Atlantic City 90 degrees Baltimore iS degrees Boife 86 degrees Boston 88 degrees Buffalo 72 degrees Calgary, Alberta 74 degrees Charleston 90 degrees Chicago 76 degrees Cincinnati 90 degrees Corpus Christi 86 degrees Denver S4 degrees Pes Moines 80 degrees Dodge City 100 degrees Duluth f4 degrees Durango.

This is the hottest August 11 on record at Topeka. The previous rec- j ord of 102 degrees In 1894 was equaiea ai i:ov o ciocti una anci noon. Although there was a tempo rary drop in temperature which brought the thermometer reading at 2 o'clock down to the century mark, the local observer was of the opinion that the maximum temperature for the day would be about 104 degrees. The wind Is blowing at the rate of fifteen miles an hour from the south west. The- Kaw river is today at as low a stage as has een reached since the records have been kept 3.3 feet. A telegram received from Garden City states that one inch and a quar ter of rain fell at that place Sunday night. The storm was accompanied by an unusually severe electrical dis play. A report from Hutchinson says that this morning a cool breeze sprung up from the north. The mer cury had only reached the 8 6-degree point by 11 o'clock five degrees be low the record for Sunday. An Associated Press dispatch from Kansas City reads: "Light local showers which cooled the torrid atmosphere but brought lit tle benefit to thirsty vegetation fell in widely separated sections of Mis souri, Kansas and Oklahoma early to day. According to P. Connor, weather observer here, the light showers fur nished the heat and drouth-ridden na tive merely a tantalizing remembrance of ancient rains." While Des Moines, la., was drenched with more than 3 inches precipitation, and rains fairly general in Nebraska In some instances amounted to an inch, Kansas got scarcely any rain save in the north east and southwest and these places only local falls of from .01 to .89 inches. "Chances for more rain over" Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma in the 24 hours next the observer says, were very slight. "The last week of frightful heat which every day ha z driven the thermometer to maximums of 98 to 114. was broken today by a drop in temperatures aver aging from 5 to 12 degrees. "Observer Conner said screening clouds should keep the thermometer down all dav but that a return to ex treme temperature was on the pro gram for tomorrow. This morning showers were sufficient to wash off dust covering vegetation and soften slightly the parched surface of the soil but were not heavy enough to soak to the roots. Points reporting rain to the bureau included St. Joseph .02 Kansas City .01: Enid. Okla.. .01; At chison .Oo; Maryville. Mo.. .15; Bruns wick. Mo.. .05: Lexington, Mo., Trace." An Associated Press report from Pittsburg follows: Yesterday was the most oppres sively hot day and last night the most uncomfortable night of the present summer in Pittsburg.

WORKINGFOR WAR President Wilson Has Discov ered an Organized Movement To Promote Hostilities Be tween U. S. and Mexico. NOT BIG BUT TROUBLESOME "o Cause for Alarm, the Chief Executive Declares. Mexican Situation Has proved Materially. Iin- Washington, Aug. 11. President Wil son let it be known today that he was inclined to believe there was an or ganized desire proceeding from sources unknown to him to bring on a war between the United States and Mexico. The president does not regard the movement as extensive but as very troublesome and referred to misrepre sentation in some individual newspa pers. He indicated he shared some what the view of Senator Williams who declared in a speech last Saturday that an organized lobby existed to involve the United States in war. There is no occasion for alarm, is the opinion of the president who told callers today that within the last 48 hours the Mexican situation had im proved materially. It was made clear by the president to those with whom he discussed the situation that the in structions to John Lind, his personal representative, were chiefly to inform the American government how things stood generally in Mexico and just wh it were the opportunities for good offices of the United States in yie interest of peace. Sooner or later, it was pointed out, Mr. Lind will make certain suggestions to the Huerta government through the American embassy but in just what circumstances has not yet been fully determined upon. Anything in the sug gestions that may be made public will be revealed, according to administra tion officials here and foreign govern ments will be constantly apprised of the various steps taken by the United States. This may not take place for Several days. President Wilson has had no direct communication either with the Huerta government or the Constitutionalist authorities and he indicated to his call ers today that he would welcome more information about the purpose of the constitutionalists. It was learned also that the president has not yet formally considered recognition of the belliger ency of the constitutionalists but that insofar as territory alone is concerned he regarded that held by the consti tutionalists as strong enough in pro portion to that controlled by the Huerta government, to make recognl- tion of the constitutionalists not wholly unjustifiable from a diplomatic stand point. Tere were evidences in the senate of a determination on the part of lead ers to keep Mexican affairs out of the debate. Members of the foreign re lations committee said President Wil son had exacted no promise from thein to that end but they were agreed the administration should be allowed to carry out its work for the next few days with as little embarrassment as possible. Was Xo Disturbance. Washington. Aug. 11. Further official reports of the arrival in Mexico City of John Lind. President .Wilson's per sonal envoy, say ample precautions were taken by the Mexican government to guard against any demonstrations. Mr. and Mrs. Lind went to a hotel be cause the American embassy was only partly furnished. The gunboat Nashville at Norfolk navy yard probably will soon follow the Tacoma, ordered last night to Vera Cruz. The navy is almost depleted of the mosquito craft because they have been lent to naval militia. They are highly desirable in the present situa tion because their light draft permits their entry to most all Mexican har bors. The big battleships now there have been unable to approach nearer than two miles to some ports. The Tacoma is expected at Vera Cruz Mon day or Tuesday next weuek. Former Ambassador Wilson called upon Secretary Bryan today to say good bye. Lind Opens Offices. Mexico City. Aug. 11. Ex-Governor John Lindr the personal envoy of President Wilson in Mexico City, in stalled himself today in temporary of fices at the United States embassy as an unofficial adviser to the American Charge d' Affaires Nelson O'Shaugh nessy. Mr. Lind passed several hours in close conference with the charge d'affaires, discussing the difficulties of the Mexican nation for which he, it is alleged, brings a panacea. Mr. Lind was an early. riser. The sun had not mounted high over Popo catapetl mountain before he was astir. He took a stroll through the park in front of his hotel and down San Francisco avenue berore the shut ters were removed Irom the store windows. A few hours later an embassy auto mobile called at the and convey ed Mr. Lind to the embassy of the United States where to the accompani ment of the hammering of carpenters in adjoining rooms where they were packing the household goods of Henry Lane Wilson, the former ambassador here for shipment to the United States, the "adviser" entered upon his duties. In the meanwhile Mrs. C. A. Parker the wife oi an embassy attache who is doing the honors in the absence of Mrs. O'Shaighnessy. called on Mrs. Lind and arranged for a drive this af ternoon about the city. Dr. William Bayard Hale, who no longer hides his identity as the con fidential envoy of President Wilson, canea at the embassy and held a long conference with ex-Governor Lind and Mr. O'Shaughnessy. No one at the conference would state what the first steps of the pacification plan were to be or when they were to be taken. Frederico Gamboa. the new Mexi can secretarv for foreign relations. j speaking with regard to Mr. Lind's (mission, said: "I have great faith BOTH RESTRAINED Rosedale Citizens Stopped by Injunction in Federal Courts. Strang Line Officer Stopped by Order of Wyandotte Court. BOTH SIDES VVAIJ FOB OTHER Rosedale Mayor and Citizens Tear Up Tracks Sunday. Reduce Grade per City's In structions People Walk. Kansas City, Aug. 11. Attempts made yesterday by a band of citizens of Rosedale, Kan., under leadership of the mayor, J. R. "Wimmer, to "wrest justice" from the Kansas City and Olathe interurban railway by tearing up the company's tracks at a crossing and reducing them to the level ordered for the street culminated today in a pair of restraining orders. The affair this afternoon appeared a draw, each side daring the other to move. A hundred Rosedale patriots held the crossing declaring the railroad should not put back its tracks on the old grade. Railway company officials asserted they most certainly would be that very thing. Each side backed its claim with an injunction. An attorney for W. B. Strang, president of the railway, rush ed to Topeka early today and obtain ed from District Judge Van Valken burgh, of the federal court, an order temporarily restraining Rosedale offi cials "from interfering with traffic." While this was being done, Phillip Erhardt. city counsellor of Rosedale, hastened to the district court of Wyandotte county, Kansas, and ob tained an order temporarily restrain ing the railway from relaying its tracks across the street at any grade above that authorized. At 2 o'clock this afternoon nearly 200 men had gathered about the crossing. The interurban roadbed lay level with the street. No apparent attempt had been made by the rail way to put hack its tracks and pas sengers had to walk anound the gap. LIND ARRIVES SAFE. President Wilson's Representative Reaches Mexican Capital. Washington. Aug. 11. John Lind, per sonal representative of President Wil son to investigate the Mexican situa tion, arrived safe in Mexico City last night, according -to advices received at the state department .from Charge O Shaughnessy. of the United States embassy, at .an early hour this morn ing. Secretary Bryan remained at his i desk long after midnight to receive the news. Trip Was Uneventful. Mexico City, Aug. 11. John Lind, the private emissary of President Wilson, arrived at the capital last night and has thus far had a com paratively uneventful experience in Mexico. Before leaving Vera Cruz, Mr. Lind was visited by General Gus tavo Maas, the military commander there, he being the first official of Mexico to meet the emissary. The meeting took place at the train just before Mr. Lind's departure? and General Maas also did him the ttonor to parade a small detachment of troops alongside his train. The monotony of the trip in regu lar day train from Vera Cruz to the capital was broken by an enforced de lay by the wreck of a train ahead in the region which had been the scene of rebel operation. Mr. Lind declared here that he did not have the slightest intention of dis cussing affairs regarding Mexico with private individuals. He said his business was with official Mexico and that he would be very careful with whom he talked. There need be no apprehension, he added, that he would embarrass the government by indiscretion of that sort. There is reason to believe that before his mis sion to Mexico is ended he will have suggested that more than the mere fulfillment of the promise by Gen eral Huerta that elections be held. It has been pointed out that such a de mand is not wholly consistent since the promise to hold election in Octo ber has already been made and inti mations of bad faith are out of taste at the present time. Mr. Lind does not propose to act hastily, though he will lose no time and it may be that all his work in Mexico will be finished within three weeks and possibly much sooner. If General Huerta persists in being un willing to see him, O'Shaughnessy, the charge d'affaires, will transmit Lind's communication?. shipment Turned.

KANSAS IN CENTER OF A GREAT HEAT WAVE FOR NINE 100-DEGREE DAYS During nine sweltering days Kansas has been in the center of the heat wave that has rested upon the states of the Middle Wrest. The thermometer rose to 98 degrees above zero last Sunday. It was 101 on Monday, 105 on Tuesday, 101 on Wednesday, 104 on Thursday, 103 on Friday. 101 on Saturday and the same Sunday and today, Sunday night all night heat records for the state for 25 vears were broken when the ther- I morneter registered 82 at the coolest time of the night. This breaks all August consecutive heat records for the state since the weather department was established here twenty-five years ago. The nights have been even hotter in proportion than the days during this period. Three times the past week the thermometer has stood at 99 above it 7 o'clock at night and not a night dur ing the week has the mercury dropped below 77. Friday morning it was 81 at dawn. This has been a grilling summer for Kansas. As early as May 20, the ther mometer rose to the 100 mark. Cool periods followed hot waves all through June. In July the heat was terrific Cor days at a time. Then came August and found the state dry and parched with drouth and distracted by weeks of heat, and it has sent down eight siz zling days and torrid nights. It is hard to estimate the damage and suffering. All of the creeks in the state are dry and most of the rivers. The Kaw, the largest river, measures 3.3 feet at its deepest stage here. Rainfall Negligible. The last trace of rainfall in Topeki was July 23. when light showers fill during the afternoon of that day. There has been just 1.57 inches of rainfall since July 1. This is an average f ir the state There was less in the north ern, central and western portions and two inches in the southeastern section. All August heat and drouth records and maximum and minimum temper ature records have been shattered the last seven days. The ground was dry and cracked from July heat and lack of the usual rainfall when tie August heat wave came. Reports received here from reliable sources over the state indicate that the damage is not so great as would appear from such Unusual conditions. Thou sands of silos are scattered over the state and these rob the drouth of some of its terrors. Farmers have learned to dig ponds deep and protect them with willow trees. The first panic following the drouth doubtless sent thousands of head of cattle to glut the markets, but warn ings from a dozen reliable sources seem to have checked the disastrous shipments. The heat and drouth of 1901 was a lesson. Most farmers have since prepared for such a sum mer. But this summer has been worse than that record breaking pe riod. The heat came then in July. But because of the limited original jur isdiction of the supreme court, that tribunal suggested that the state bring an action in a court of more general original Jurisdiction and held in force for ten days a restraining order against the sugar companies. In the meantime the case was again filed in the district court, where the same issues wert raised. It was contended by attorneys for the MounDays that the district court was without jurisdiction to oust the defendant corporations, since it was clamed that they had not done business in Kansas. It was also contended that a receiver could not be appointed for the individual defendants, since they possessed no corporate powers. (Continued on Pago Two.) FLOOD AT PIKE'S PEAK Water Tlree Feet Deep in Streets of Colorado City. Colorado Springs, Col., Aug. 11. A cloudburst here has demonaliz ed railroads and street car traffic in the Pike's Peak region and several families are reported to be homeless at Colorado City, where the rainfall was heaviest. Water three feet deep ran through the streets of the town and hundreds of houses were flooded. The Are department was called upon to rescue a number of persons marooned in their homes between Colorado City and Manitou. Several bridges on the Midland railroad were washed out. A house in the west end of Colorado City, with its occupants, was washed 100 feet by the torrent that swept down from the Garden of the Gods. Foun- ted and several families there have been removed on horseback. At Foun tain, 12 miles south of Colorado Springs, conditions are said to be alarming. PEACE TREATY SIGNED Remaining Differences Anions Balkan States to Be Arbitrated. Bucharest. Rumania, Aug. 11. The peace treaty between the Balkan states was signed at 10:30 o'clock Sun day morning. In honor of the occasion, the city was decorated with flags, guns were fired, bells rung and bands played. A solemn te deum in the cathedral at noon was attended by King Charles, Oneen Elizabeth (Carmen Svlval and ciTitvavinH in oi'unt f -j over the delimitation of the new front ier. Bulgaria engages to begin de- mobilization immediately. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Fair tonight and Tuesday; continued warm. This year the worst heat wave comes following a hot July. Towns Worried Over AVatcr. There can be no doubt that had the state been in the same state of unpre paredness this year as in 1901 the damage and suffering would have been appalling. Towns have built dams to protect their waterworks since then. The rivers of Kansas do not flow now, excepting the Kaw. A chain of dozens of Kansas towns along all the big and little rivers are worried over the water problems. Many wild rumors have been sent out from some of the towns of the southeast section about the entire failure of the water supply There have been no actual failures but the supply is perilously low. Another week like the last one will see serious suffering and menace from the drouth situation. All towns in Kansas that do not get water from deep wells drilled to catch the un derflow from streams are almost suie to suffer for water unless relief comes in the shape of rain. Small towns are hauling water. The Santa Fe and Rock Island roads report many such cases. Only an estimate can be made of the damage done so far on the farms. The early corn crop is almost de stroyed. The grass pastures were dried up and burned brown weeks ago. AH late garden truck was al most a total failure. The more hope ful look for rains to yet save the late corn and bring out the pastures and give a chance for fall forage crops. Story Same Kvcrywhere. Hot weather and drouth stories come from every portion. Wichita, Smith Center. Salina. Marion. Junction City. 'offcyville. Dodge City, Concor dia. Cottonwood Falls, Atchison, Ot tawa, all have the same story to tell about burned fields, dry rivers, failed stock water and suffering from the ter rible heat. The heat and drouth, in addition to being a coFtly burden to the farmers, presents daily new dangers of fire. The water pressure is perilously low even in towns where the water supply is not threatened. A fire breaking out in the thickly settled portion of any town or city would probably be a disaster hard to estimate in its extent. A brisk wind blows across the state constantly from the south. Kverything is as dry as powder and a high water pressure Is impossible. Kvery known anti "infallible" sign of rain has appeared in the heavens during the last -week, but all have failed. Cool waves have been predict ed by local weather stations, but they have been dispersed by the rays of the sun. Clouds hang over the sunset, but the stars shine at midnight and the sun rises in the morning in a sky of brass. People who have no sleeping porches are sleeping in their yards. But there is not a cool spot in the land, either by day or by night. Politics, trade, baseball and all pub lic issues have been forgotten and only one subject is under discussion. That is the weather. KNIGHTSJOLL IN Denver Is Rapidly Filling Up With the Templars. Eighteen Thousand Had Ar rived Up to This Morning. TRAVELING ON SPECIAL TRAINS Twenty-Five Thousand More Expected During the Day. The Big Parade Scheduled to Take Place Tuesday. Denver, Aug. 11. It is estimated that 18.000 Knights Templars arrived Sun day and last night to attend the thirty second triennial conclave which was informally opened Saturday night. Seventy-eight special trains, bearing 25,000 other Knights were scheduled '.o arrive today. Each train with its load of Templara, gay in uniform and spirits, was met by an escort from comman'deries an I marched to their hotels. St. Bernard commandery of Chicago was the first arrival. It was soon followed by Crea ton eonimanderv, of Burlington, Iowa, and at intervals of a few minute thereafter, small armies of knights poured into the union station. Among the most interesting of the early arrivals today were the 200 mem bers of California commandery num ber 1 who will form the escort of hon or to Grand Master William B. Mepaii during the conclave. Awaiting thi,i were 200 raven black horses that have been trained by an army officer. They mounted their steeds and accompanied by an escort, paraded to a hotel. This evenine is to be spent by the Templars generally in a reception to Grand Encampment officers and mem bers, by Denver commandery number 25 at a theatre. A second reception to the same knights will be given latr at El Jebel temple by Colorado com mandery number 1. Public interest in the conclave is II vided between the great dress paraio to be held tomorrow morning and tin horse show and ball at the Stadium on Thursday night. The Stadium will be converted into an enormous ball room, probably one of the largest ever built. Nine thousand tickets have been issued for tl,js fete. The horse shw will precede the dance. Miss L-ila, Long and C. C. Christie of Kansas City and Al Crane of Chicago will be judges. To spare disappointment to the east erners who come here hoping to mi l Indiana livinir in thn i ver the conclave fa irw m-orl ctAtrofi.i farnlps of the Utes to pitch their "V. durance or tne staaium.

ntVULVtn UUtL FATAL Young Ranchman Victim Antagonist Unknown to Officers. Lawrence. Kan., Aug. 11. Dean Warren, aged 21, a ranchman, died Warren, the victim of a bullet sent into his brain in a formal duel staged at midnight Saturday. Douglas county authorities are looking for the young ranchman's antagonist who fired the fatal shot. Eight men have been summoned to tell what they know of the affair, but no arrests have been made and the alleged mur derer is still at large. According to information said to have been given by persons who over heard plans for the duel, the men stepped off thirty paces and fired their pistols. Four shots were fire-!, one ot which struck Warren In th head. A game of dice is said to havu brought on the quarrel that preceded the duel. An inquest into Warren's death wiil be held today. Jesse Gulley, a laborer, in front of whose house the body was found, says he was awakened about 2 o'clock Sun day morning by loud talking in front of his house. "Don't get so close there, back t-i thirty paces," Gulley says one voice shouted. "I'm a bad man from Oklahoma and I'll shoot." said another voice. "All right, then shoot," replied the first voice. Gulley says two shots followed thi in rapid succession. After some morn talk that he could not understand two more shots were fired. Then he says he heard sounds of running feet and things became quiet again. Later he found Warren's body. Evidences of a beer party and trap game were found near the body anil eight men who are believed to have been at the party are being held with out bail.

2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENUTGr, AUGUST 11, 1913- RAILR0AD NEWS Speaking of Heat, How Would You Like Driving Locomotive At Times Engineer's Faee Cool While Body Is Blistering. UNION PACIFIC CRITICISED Should Pay Debts Instead of Dividends With Extra Cash. Moffat Road Receivers to Be Discharged All Debts Paid. "Did you ever think of the heat an engineman must stand when the mer cury goes up above 100?" asked a Bur lington engineer yesterday. "An en gineer sits near the boiler head, and hia work keeps rim there. The radia tion from the boiler is really some thing terrific on hot day. When the engine is running there is a fair draft through the cab, although at times an engineer's face may be cool while the lower half of his body is blistering. It is hot work, and so strenuous is it that the man in the cab must forget physical discomfort and attend to his duties without a thought of the more comfortable and trusting patrons the road behind him. "The lot of the fireman is even worse, although he is permitted the comfort of changing positions oltener. When he. oupns the firebox door a Ma at of hot comes out upon him that lm net seta fire to his clothing. Of course all of his work is not with the firebox oten. but the radiation from the boiler Is continuous and fiercely not. The number of minor prostra tions from heat on locomotives Is not recorded. One engineer has died rrom if on the Burlina-ton within a month. and on the Union Pacific in Nebraska another serious prostration is record ed. That case may yet prove ratal. "Orders are to make time whenever possible, and to avoid delays whjare possible. In two serious prostration cases, one on the Burlington and the other on the Union Pacific, the men were working under their engines when they became overheated. It is hot enough in the cab but when any thing goes wrong with the engine and it is necessary to work underneath it in the the hot sun the effect is doubly serious. Further, it will be noted that it is the hard working, conscientious, ready-to-do employees who are most affected by the heat. Nothing, stops them when work is to be done but the master stopping force death. "When you hear people in cool of fice rooms fitted with electric fans complaining about the heat, just ask them" how they would like to work under absolute orders. with human l!fe depending on their following these orders, within a few inches of a giant boiler charged with 210 pounds of steam heated to a bluish tint. Men do it every hour of every hot day, un complainingly, enduring 100 degrees temperature superheated with man's most effective heating plant." Ne braska State Journal. SHOULD PAY DEBTS FIRST. l'nin Pacifier's Receipts From Disso lution Sale tanse Comment. New York. Aug. 11. Suggestions that the Union Pacifie management may distribute to stockholders as an extra dividend a large part of the cash to be received for about $88,000,000 of the Southern Pacific stock that has to be sold are criticised severely by con servative investment interests. In their way of thinking it would be far more becoming in the Union Pacific to use the money thus obtained in -providing for the retirement of some of the obligations incurred through, the purchase of Southern Pacific stock and the stock of a half dozen or more other prominent roads. It Is the contention of the conserv atives that the dividends on Union Pa cific stock 10 per cent have been ample and all that stockholders ought to expect. It is their contention, also, that the Union Pacific would not ap pear as a borrower in the money mar ket within the next tew r years Mf it should distribute in extra dividend cash to bo received through the sale of so large a portion of its assets. Union Pacific's purchases of the stocks of other roads, with which its treasury was loaded by the Harriman management, have not been exactly profitable. Its holdings of Illinois Cen tral, for instance, supposed to have been taken at $175 a share, are now worth in the market about $107 and the dividend rate has been reduced from 7 to 5 per cent. The market prices of its other holdings, except its Southern Pacific, are generally far be low the prices at which it bought them. OKLAHOMA RESORT BOOSTED.

Denver, Aug. 11. The Denver. Norta western Taciflc railroad, the name by which the Denver Salt Luke, or "Moffat" road, was formerly known, w4.ll have paid its debts and the re ceivership of the company will be lifted within four weeks, according to at torneys for the various interests in vplved. A debt fund of the company aggre gating $420,000, which was diverted be tween March, 1911, and March, 1912, for the payment of interest on bonds, improvements and similar purposes, is to be replaced out of proceeds from sale of property, if a recommendation of George L. Hodges, special master in chancery for the adjudication of claims, is followed. Hodges' recommendation is con tained in a report which he filed yes terday in the United States district court. The report shows that .ill claims filed against the company ag gregated $535,943.14. Of these there were allowed claims amounting to J3J.S19.08, leaving $494,793.06 with- drawn, dismissed or disallowed. There remains unsettled a claim of the Pullman company for $178,000, de clared to be due on account of failure of the Moffat road to carry out the terms of a contract for the purchase of equipment. This amount will, how ever, be deposited in court under a stimulation and will not prevent the closing of the .receivership. It is customary for the court to re place moneys paid out for interest aaJ similar charges, which should have been used for purchase of equipment, out of the proceeds from the sale of property when a foreclosure is brought about. PROF. FRENCH BACK. Savonburg Professor Threw Money and Letter In House Gone Again. Iola. Kan., Aug. 11. The strange di. appearance of Prof. L. G. French, prin- cipal of the Savonburg public schools, who has been missiug since early last April, took on added element of mya tery Saturday night when members of the family of the missing educator were startled by the opening of the front door and finding a package and a let ter hurriedly tossed inside by the mysterious caller. The package con tained $30 in silver and the letter, which was signed by Professor French, told of his wanderings over the country during the time he has been absent. Mrs. French and her children -were sitting in .he front room of their little home about 10 o'clock. The conversa tion was suddenly Interrupted by the abrupt opening of the door. Small mis siles were tossed in upon the floor, evi dently to attract attention. They were quickly followed by the letter and the package. At first frightened by the sudden in terruption. Mrs. French recovered Iier self possession and opened the pack age. It contained the money. A mo ment later the unfolded letter partially explafned the mission of the caller and established his identity. A glance at the signature showed the name of G. French, written steadily and clearly. "I've been wandering over the south west." the professor wrote. "I've been wandering around Bartlesville, Okla., and other points in that country. I come back to bring you this money. but I m going away again and you will not see me. Probably you do not want to. I'm dead to the world." Mrs. French and her children rushed out to find Mr. French and implore him to remain at home. In the dark the figure of a man could be discerned but on the approach of any member of the family the professor retreated and finally disappeared without speaking t-j or seeing them at close range. The disappearance of Professor French has taken its place as one of the strangest cases with which the of ficers have had to deal. The missing educator held a good position at the head of the Savonburg schools and though he owed a few small sums. none of his creditors were pressing or threatening. There was nothing in any of his business transactions that would make him criminally liable and his social, home and school life were, it is asserted, above reproach. CtKE FOR POISONED CATTLE. Ellsworth Farmers Low 200 Head- Salt and Water a Remedy. Ellsworth. Kan., Aug. 11. To date at least 20 0 head of cattle have died in this county this summer from eat ing green cane and kaffir corn. In most cases the cattle die quickly sometimes within five or ten minutes from the time of eating the feed. Vari ous remedies have been suggested but whatever remedy is given must be used quickly as there is no time to send for veterinary. T. W. Short of Sharon Springs lost several head from eating the poisoned cane before he discovered what he says is a positive cure. He says that a pint of salt dissolved in a quart of water and given to the animal immedi ately will effect a cure. County Commissioner Tobias Dou brava says that an experienced cattle man told him that if cattle were fed on corn fodder for a time before being given cane or kaffir corn they would be less liable to become affected.

In rendering an opinion in this case today, Judge Dana held that the evi dence was sufficient to show that the MounDays had assumed corporate powers by their liberal use of the cor porate names of the defendant com panies and the use of the companies' seal in the transaction of business. For that reason it was contended that the corporations themselves had been en gaged in business in Kansas and that the MounDays by assuming corporate rights and powers, had violated the laws of th state and were subject to a writ of ouster and the appointment of a receiver to take charge of their business. In short, the district court trranted everything given by the su preme court and because of its more extensive original injunction, grants rights and powers in the management of the affairs of the defendants that the supreme court felt it could not grant. The order of tne court means that a receiver will take charge of all business both of the MounDays and j euptii uuitiriiura ana. will Kinaiiy -i'vBi. ma i.iiiuina lu wie court. The suit involving the constitution ality or the blue sky law was filed in the Shawnee county district court by Don A. MounDay, who desired to seU his land contracts in-this state, but louna that his operations were block ed because of the passage of a 1913 amendment to the blue sky law. In nis suit MounDay asked that the at torney general and state bank com missioner be enjoined from further interfering with or investigating the "nans oi nis tana ana sugar company. A temporfiry injunction against the state officials was granted in the case, but that injunction was dissolved today when Judge Whitcomb ruled that the blue sky law is consututlonal and that tne 1913 amendment to the act is legal. Seven questions regarding the Je gality and constitutionality of the blue sky law were raised in the petition presentea Dy attorneys for MounDay. All of them were overruled by the court. Two of the more serious questions raised in the fight on the blue sky law involved the issue-as to whether the act was a valid exercise of the police powers of the state and Whether the act contained more than one sub ject and was clearly expressed in the title of the bill. State Has These Powers. On both of these questions, Judge Whitcom ruled against the MounDays. Ho said that the law was passed to supervise the dealing in securities and that the state has power to regulate matters of that kind and to protect its citizens from impositions and to vest the enforcement of the law in some officer. It further held that the title to the act covers the general text of the law and that there is not suf ficient discrepancy to hold the law un constitutional on that ground. It waa contended by attorneys for MounDay and his wife the blue sky law authorizes the taking of private property for public use without just compensation and deprived the de fendants of due process of law. In this contention, the court held that the defendants had ample legal pro tection and that their point was not well taken. It was further contended that the law confers Judicial powers on executive and administrative offi cers. But Judge Whitcomb held that tne sugar companies and the Moun Days have sufficient protection in an appeal to the courts and that the state has a right through an officer to regu late the business of dealing in invest ments. The court held as not applica- ole the constitutional provision that guarantees to citizens of one state the right of citizens of all state. Further contention by .MounDays that the law exacts cruel and unusual punishments, was also overruled on the ground that the extent or amount of punish ment under the law is within the dis cretion of the courts and it cannot be urged that the courts would abuse their rights under the law. Both. judges concurred in the opin ions. Sweeping Victories for State. The decisions today were most sweeping victories for the state. Every thing which the state asked in the re ceivership case was granted by the' court. Every contention of the Moun Days in their fight on the constitu tionality of the blue sky law was over ruled. That the blue sky suit will be fought through the higher courts, was Indi cated by D. R. Hite, attorney for MounDay and his wife. "There isn't anything to do hut to appeal," said Hite. "We have no in tention 'of quitting the" fight here."" It is generally believed that the con stitutional question involved in the blue sky law will go to the United States supreme court, regardless of the decision which by the state supreme court. As for tne receivership suit, there is some question about an appeal, it is be lieved. The supreme court has alrendv strongly indicated its view in the mat ter and with a receiver to be nlaced In immediate control of the affair rf MounDay and his sugar companies, it is believed that the fis-ht nf MounDay and his associates will ho confined to their effort to resist a final "order of ouster when application for this order is later mad bv h state. TORY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago. Aug. 11. CORN Corn prices broke today on -account of the ending of the droughth in Iowa and because of rain in northern Illinois and some other parts of the belt. Smelting was very free, bear ish sentiment being increased by heavier offerings of old corn on the part of the country holders. There were signs, how ever, of many resting orders to purchase on the decline. The opening was c to lc lower. December corn started at 65V4C to 5c, a loss of l&Vic to l4c, finally rallied to 65c. Reported spreading of the rains to Mis souri and Southern Illinois gave prices an additional setback but the effect was brief, offerings becoming light. The close was nervous with September c to c net lower at 66s66i4c. WHEAT Moisture northwest and liberal world shipments eased wheat. December opened c to c down at 893c to 89c and recovered to 89c. The market later hardened a little owing to temperatures being too cool in Minne sota and the Dakotas; the close was firm with December at 89c, the same aa Sat urday night. OATS Oats weakened with corn. De cember, which at the outset was 43c to 43, showing a rail or c to c, touched 43yc and then reacted to 43 43c.

STOCKS The one feature of interest In today's market session was the announcement by the Union Pacific directors of the sub scription price for its Southern Pacific holdings, 92, with accumulated dividends. Southern Pacific, which in common with other active Issues had shown some In itial heaviness, fell over a point from last Saturday's price as the subscription terms became known after which it moved fever ishly. Elsewhere the market reflected continued Irregularity, advances being confined to issues of minor speculative importance. except Canadian Pacific which rose over a point. Trading was light and listless. Bonds were irregular. Gains and losses were quite evenly divided at the opening of today's stock market, although most of the active Issues, partic ularly Union Pacific, Copper and Steel were under last week's final quotations. Gains Included a point for Canadian Pa cific and 2 points for Texas company. St. Joseph Live Stock Market. St. Joseph, Aug. 11. CATTLE Receipts 1,600. Market steady.

Ten teams In their quest for the major league pen nants failed to make any headway during the last week of baseball. The other six gained from 7 to 14 points, but among them were neither the New York Giants nor Philadelphia Ath letics, leaders, respectively, in the Na tional and the American circuits. These two stood still inasmuch as each won and lost three games while a majority of tbe others did as poorly, some of them even worse.

Graw, of New York, cannot yet be certain of ririvine: his team through i ho 1913 world's series, for Philadel phia in seven days cut the Giants 83 point lead down to 64 points, represent ing a difference of a game and a half. The Giants gained a half game Sunday by defeating Cincinnati while Phila delphia was idle. On the other hand, in the American circuit it would appear that Connie Mack, although his team lost 10 points in the percentage table forthwith be gan to groom one of his veterans for the first of the post season games, for his club is further ahead in the field than it was last Sunday, due to the nega tive showing of the runners up, Cleve land and Washington. The Clevelands Just about eliminated themselves as flag contenders this year. Facing a so-called crucial series on Monday with the Athletics, they made a dismal display at a time when they loomed as the former world's cham pions' only rivals.

Chicago, Aug. 11. Pitcher Lew Richie, known in former years as the "Giant killer," because of his abilitv to beat the Xational League cham- days, the old man turned slowly on his pions, was traded today to the Kan- side, raised up on his elbow and said: The M. IJ. Knew His Business. Down in Tennessee there was once a doctor, who was called In to attend an old Confederate soldier who was sick. The doctor attended the patient for some days and administered numerous restoratives, but none seemed to have the desired effect, and the patient de clined all the while, finally lapsing into a rigid, unconscious condition and ap parently death was at hand. The doc tor did many things to revive him. but without success. Now, it happened that the patient was one of that nu merous tribe who love their drink, but. being very poor, he was not able to supply himself with the "cup that cheers." The doctor, remembering the old louews weakness for spirits fru menti, sent for a bottle of liquor. As he entered the room, seeing the patient was still in this rigid unconscious condition, stated to the patient's wife, a good, religious, old woman, that lie had exhausted every other remedy in his efforts to stimulate and revive the old man, and he had decided to give him a good, stiff drink of liquor. The wife thereupon protested and begged the doctor not to give her husband tho "vile stuff," saying, "I had rather he would die and go home to glory without it than for his appetite for the villain ous stuff to be revived." The doctor replied to his wife: "Very well, if you object, I'll not give it to him."

But he hired out as a secre tary of state. Indiana's governor is taking the first vacation he ever had. Date of publication will probably be an nounced later. Even the most fastidious sticklers for correctness must agree with the propriety of the characterization "Sunny Kansas." A"ice President Marshall lost a pocketbook containing $4 0. He should now tell the country candidly what his side line is. And the claim that motorcyclists' brains are numbed by excessive speed explains things, including the gill on the rear wheel. Sixty days is a long time to wait for the honor of a full-fledged ambassa dorship, especially where life is as un certain as in Mfxieo. Bring on the tango skirt, all button ed un before. Things have already gone so far that there's no good in getting squeamish now. In making President Huerta return to private life and like it. Personal Ilenresentative Lind has been given a reasonably large order. The touching thing about the o fine exacted of Mr. Rockefeller's chauffeur is that he probably will have to stand it himself. Presumably, the aged Indian chief who got lost in Chicago found the sights of a city's streets more amus ing than a medicine show. What a poor advertiser Baltimore It now appears that the Mary land metropolis has had policewomen on its peace force for some time. As to cooler weather, it is now per fectly proper to remark with the farm er who did not believe his eyes as he viewed a camel in a circus menagerie, "there ain't no such thing." Attention, poets. Take the train for Chicago. A poet there who was unable to sell his wares in the usual channels had little trouble in ex changes them for a few cold bottles. Great excitement in the ranks of the jingoes. Ten Japanese have been seen as soldiers in the Mexican army. But not a few American soldiers of fortune have clone military service in Mexico. Slides of Lucullus! A Brooklyn man sat down to a twelve pound tur key with the usual iixings all by him self. And he did not stop eating un til he had picked every bone clean. If there were no mines in Mexico, points out the Brooklyn Kagle, civil ization could be postponed there in definitely. As it is, mineralogy de mands the introduction of sound ethics. Although Cardinal Gibbon3 is per sonally opposed to woman's suffrage he is nonetheless able to see the hand writing on the wall and expresses the opinicn that "suffrage is certain to come to women." That Ohio man who slept peacefully for an hour while his wife shrieked for help downstairs with her hand caught in a washing machine may not be a model husband, but think what a policeman he'd make. Fire Chief Wilmarth will be heartily applauded if he makes good his threat to cause the arrest and punishment of persons who are so careless as to burn their trash in the alleys during this kind of weather. Veaezuela is showing a proper ap preciation of Cip Castro's latest call. An army of 7,000 men has been dis patched from the nation's capital to give him the warm welcome to which his prominence entitles him. TORIES TO THE LAST. In Great Britain and Ireland one of the most infamous wrongs entrenched by long usage and the sanction of the Jaws is the system of plural votinff for members of parliament. When a new house of commons is to bo chosen the elections are strung along for about a week. In a country of no great size it is easy for a man to go from one district to another and then on to a third, in time to vote in as many places as he is entitled to a ballot. And he is given that privilege wherever he has a residence. If he owns and occupies, at some time dur ing the year, four or five houses In four or five different parliamentary distiicts, or divisions, as they are call ed in Kngland, he can vote for a can didate for the house of commons in every one of them. The effect, of course, is to give a rich man several times the power of a poor man in electing the national par liament or congress. It is a suffrage based upon property, and the depar ture from a standard such as Ameri cans have always been familiar with is so wide that it cannot be defended by any believer, in the equality of all men at the polls. It is an abuse which flatly contradicts the oft-repeated as sertion that Great Britain is really more democratic than the United States in its form of government. Now an effort is being made to abol ish this gross injustice of plural voting. The house of commons has passed a bill for that purpose, but the house of lords, true to its Tory traditions, re jected this reform measure by the overwhelming majority of 166 to 42. In the end, the stand of the hereditary branch of parliament can avail noth ing more than delay, but it will make diss feeling run higher than ever in England and breed trouble in the years to come. EDUCATION'S CHAMPIONS. As an aid to the campaign in be half of better educational facilities, the United States bureau of educa tion has just issued a bulletin: "Ex pressions on Education by American Statesmen and Publicists." The book is a collection of notable utterances on education by prominent Americans from the earliest days to the present. Beginning with Franklin, Washing ton. Adams, and Jefferson, all of whom were firm believers in popular education, the document quotes opin ions on education from a long line of distinguished Americans, including John Jay, Madison. Monroe, Albert Gallatin, DeWitt Clinton, Archibald Murphey, "father of the North Caro lina common school;" Calhoun, Web ster, Buchanan, Thaddeus Stevens, the champion of public schools in the early days of Pennsylvania; Ed ward Everett, George Peabody, the philanthropist: Horace Mann, and M. B. Lamar, president of the Republic of Texas. Coming to more modern times, the following are represented: William H. Seward. Robert E. Lee, who gave the last years of his life to the cause of education and urged the "thorough education of all classes of the peo ple;" Lincoln, who viewed education as "the most important subject which we as a people can be engaged in;" Charles Sumner, Calvin, Wiley, who considered it the lasting honor of- his state that "her public schools sur vived the terrible shock of war;" General Grant, who commended the progress of the public schools in a message to congress; Rutherford B. Hayes, Senator Benjamin Harvey Hill of Georgia, who said that "edu cation is the one subject for which no people ever yet paid too much;" Wil liam Henry Ruffner of Virginia. J. L. M.

A curious case has recently been decided by the Wisconsin railroad commission, says the Electrical Re view. In this case a utility which 5s municipally owned and operated ap plied for permission to increase its rates to those consumers only who are residing outside of the municipality. While the commission denied the ap plication, it at the same time discusser the principles which should govern such cases and indicated that it was proper to make a distinction between residents and non-residents of a mu nicipality. This distinction is based upon the fact that in computing the fixed charge against the investment only 4 per cent, is used in connection with that portion of the plant neces sary for supplying resident consum ers, whereas an interest allowance of 7.5 per cent, is used in computing the fixed charges for that portion of the plant necessary to supply non-residents. This is the same percentage that would be allowed in the case of a privately owned utility. The distinction appears to be made on the basis that the taxpayers in the municipality have involved some risk In investing municipal funds in the electric power plant. To carry out this idea logically, the eame distinction should be made between taxpayers and all those who are not. If such a dis tinction is justifiable it would seem equally proper for a privately owned utility company to make a distinction In rates between those consumers who are stockholders and those who are not. Upon the basis Of cost-of-service principle, rates should be adjusted so as to Just cover the cost of operation, including fixed charges, and allowing as small a margin of surplus as may be feasible. The proper allowance for fixed charges is usually estimated upon the basis of what return Is neces sary to make the investment a desir able one, so that future necessities for capital for extensions, etc., will be will ingly met by the investor. Since it is possible to secure capital for a munici pal plant at a lower rate of interest than for a privately owned plant, this element of the cost of service is in herently smaller and all patrons of the utility should receive the benefit of this lower cost. Why the consumer who resides outside the political boun dary of the municipality should be dis criminated against in this regard, espe cially with respect to the consumer within the boundary who is not a tax payer, is not evident. A stitch in time often saves a lot of embarrassment. There are always plenty of domestic storms in a period of drouth. Most of the important people are only that way in their own minds. Many a child misses a deserved spanking because its mother thinks it may be sick. Naturally, it's a bank's most trusted employee who gets away with the funds. He has the best chance. JAYHAWKER JOTS The dry spell reminds the Wathena Times of years ago when the people went to church to pray for rain on a similar occasion. One little girl asked her mother where the people were go ing. When told they were going to pray for rain, she wanted to know why they did "not take their umbrellas along if praying would bring rain. From the Moline Advance: A farmer at Junction City has a little chick pre served in alcohol that has two distinct and well formed heads and necks. It lived five days and then died as the result of being stepped on. He claims that the chick while alive could let out two "peeps" at the same time. Just think what an advertiser of her business this chick would have been as a hen, if it had lived to lay an egg. Another snake story, this time from the Elk Falls Reflector: Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Forsythe, who now reside near Oak Valley, had an experience with a large blacksnake. Mrs. Forsythe had been missing eggs for some time and finally a mammoth china nest egg one larger than a turkey egg disappeared. One morning a disturbance was made among the chickens and both hurried out and there curled up near the nests was a big blacksnake, measuring over four feet long. His snakeship appeared rather dumpish and neither' showed fear nor fight. After his life had been taken by Mr. Forsythe with his trusty hoe, thecause of the aforesaid dumpish ness was discovered.' About midway of the snake's body was a great enlarge ment, which when dissected, proved to be the big china nestegg, and It doubt less was causing the poor snake some discomfort and was the prime reason for his careless exposure to danger.

The worst babies are over 20 years of age. Laiv men would rather find fault than find v.-ork. About all the average man takes for a cold is advice. "Misers," said the barber, "are men who use safety razors." Even experience falls down when it tries to teach a fool. And the less a man is abused the more he doesn't amount to. No woman is supposed to look her age, no matter what it is. What a girl likes about a young man is usually what her mother doesn't. A man may make a guess at what a woman is going to do, but that is his iimit. Do not be one of the majority who ex pect more of a friend than they are will ing to give.

(Oh, if that's the case, we will re consider our resolution to vote agin him.) ((Busy business of reconsider ing.)) And, chancing to again lamp the paragraph at the top of this colyum. might one presume that it was the wind that broke the Broken Arrow? Yes, one might; there is no city ordi nance against presuming. It is easy to explain why we aban doned the daily It Might Be Worse! It can't. For, as J. Supp observed last Fri day: "If Billy Sunday was operat ing in Kansas now, he would have to frame un some other kind of a 'here after' scare to get the natives. They're almost used to it.'! The ingenuity of the gook who can make a mustache hide a hair lip is no more ingenious than the ingenious in genuity of the young man with a Daia spot who-can tip his hat without "tip ping off" the bald spot. Friend Ernest Tucker has revived an ancient custom. He has the "wed ding bells ringing" In North Topeka. In the remote southern part of our village, they have adopted the mod ern system of "wringing" the society reporter. to announce the event. Nay, Josey-feen, not all of the Mar shall's bandmen are going to Den ver on a protracted "toot;" a few of the gentlemen play drums and things like that; one does not toot a drum or a bull fiddle (yclept dog-house). Your alarm over the published state ment that we were to have a "full band" in Denver is unfounded. I drifted into Puckyhuddle for a few days' rest amid the quiet scenes of my childhood and met the "taran tula lady," who had spoiied -my visit. The spider person: arrived a year ago, just in advance of an outbreak of semi-militant suffragism, 1 am told, and seems bent upon converting the village into a manless Eden. Thus far she has only succeeded in disrupt ing the Epworth League, the Presby terian Ladies' Sewing society and the Anti-Horsethief association. On the whole, she seems to be making fair progress and it is not too much to ex pect that if she remains for another year, she'll disband the city council, chase the town marshal down the big road, tear up the tracks of the Pucky huddle Northern and make the once smiling village fit subject for the tuneful lament of some latter-day Goldsmith. "Putting it mild," says old Doc Houser, than whom there are few wiser single-handed homespun phil osophers extant, "putting it mild, that woman's a pestilence, a blight and a conflagration, all rolled into one vio lent and continuous eruption." After listening to a four-hour mono logue upon the general vileness of my male ancestors, immediate and remote, and sundry other biological factors not immeciiately connected with my family, I was inclined to agree with old Doc. Also, I could see with half an eye just where the "tarantula lady" got her name. I had no sooner inter jected my innocent and unsuspecting person into the landscape than she gathered for a spring. She sprang several times, figuratively and literal ly, for she must have studied expres sion under some Hardshell Baptist purveyor of hell fire and brimstone who had forgotten how to smile. And every time she sprang, I felt her fangs. By the time I had been thoroughly lacerated and completely poisoned, an other victim in the shape of a travel ing man from New York came along, and I escaped to find comfort in the ministrations of old Doc. "I won't tell you to keep away from her." he said, "because you can't, un less you get out of town, and if you're particularly susceptible to spider bites I guess you,'cl better git." "Has she made any converts?" I asked Doc finally, wondering if the blessed. peace-loving mothers of Puckyhuddle had been innoculated with the virus of militant man hatred. "Nary convert." replied Doc. "We ain't very up to date in this village and women folks still cling to their ignor ant delusion that their lovers and hus bands and sons are their best friends. Moreover, the tarantula has got the wrong hunch. She's like a whole lot of other reformers who don't care so much about reform as they do about an excuse to get their teeth into some body's quivering flesh. "I'm not saying that women oughtn't to vote if thye want to, but I do say that you can't convince most folks by bitin' 'em. We've got into the habit of regarding promiscuous use of the teeth as a sign of a mean disposi tion, hydrophobia or some other form of insanity. We're not likely to ac cept the judgment of the person that uses 'em too frequent. "We'd be apt to pay more attention to some of our suffragist sisters if they didn't have a fit every time somebody mentions the ballot. We'd listen more attentively to some temperance folks if they didn't froth at the mouth every time somebody makes a careless remark -about w-bisky. The regulators of big business "would get farther if thev didn't run v amuck and lambast everybody that's got more than four bits over at the First National." Old Doc belie-rg in the rule of rea son and loves reasonableness in all things. Most of the rest of us are like him in that respect. Spider persons may bite us, but they' don't convert us. I'm not cure that they wish to. (Copyright, 1913. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) SAYS UNCLE GAV A HOT WEATHER IDYL. -I love, to lie beneath the trees be- side the babbling brook.

"Hello, the house!" Audrey shouted, setting her hands hollow about her mouth and leaning forward in saddle. 'Light, lady if you can give ref ences!" some one answered gayly from the ambush of rose thicket separating a green yard from an adorably tangled old garden. Audrey frowned darkly. "H-m-m! I didn't know your other name was impertinence!" she said loftily, then jingling her tin bucket loudly against the gate post, "if references were as plenty as I hope to find your cherries, you shouldn't have the ghost of one." "As you will. Mere man is a down trodden creature these days," the am bushed one answered plaintively. "This particular worm of the dust is, I fear, going to have things made very hard for him. You can't pick cherries with out a ladder can't you? And the only ladder on the place is, just now, off the place." "On purpose I am sure of that," Audrey pouted, her eyes dancing so it was a pity the ambushed could not see them. "But I don't mind in the least my greatness lies in overseeing. I can always get more work done by egging on the rest. Besides I know you are too gallant to see me sunburn myself and get my frock torn in a high cherry tree while you sit and watch me. "I hate to climb down from such a pedestral,"' the hidden person retort ed. "But you see it's this way I of fered to give you cherries, right at your own door easiest sort of thing to get them picked on shares. You were for coming over can you deny it?" "I can but I won't it is too hot, and besides I'm too amiable," Audrey flung back, then slid from" saddle. Evidently the ambushed person had a peephole. He came darting out, and was in time to steady her audaciously as she touched earth. "Awfully reck less!" he commented with a growling cadence. "Might have turned your an kle then I should have had to tote you in the house. By the way. Mother Molly is there already came yesterday where cherries abound there also, it appears, do women." "Injun giver! But I won't go away w'ithout a bucketful. Yea, even two bucketfuls and Tobe's is bigger than mine." Audrey answered, smiling at him with infantine soft malice. He shook his head, sighing deeply. "I fear, between you, you will drive me to matrimony," he said, taking the bucket, also the hand that held it, and moving toward the door. It was a beautiful old colonial door, with a fanlight above it, and an ab surd portico, fit for a pigeon house, jutting over. At their approach it flew wide. Mother Molly appeared in the j frame or it, ner moutn smiling, ner eyes grave. Her nephew, Leland, the apple of her eye. deserved better of Fate, she thought, than a wife such as Audrey Clare. Therefore, she had fought against his plan to keep bachelor's hall in the old Leland place that had come to him on the spindle side. Mother Molly herself was a Vincent, his fath er's sister, and his own abject wor shiper since the day he was born. She had picked the very wife for him Sarah Minor Tabb whose names proclaimed the irreproachability of her pedigree. Audrey was Irish her fath er had seemed a gentleman but happy-go-lucky why! that way, he had been quite equal to the darkles. Audrey was all very well very well indeed for a girl who had raised herself, as it were. But not the person to be trusted with Leland and Vincent silver, to say nothing of diamonds and old lace. She cared so little for things clothes es pecially. Sarah Minor treasured fine fabrics they were to her as apples of gold in pictures of silver. Indeed she treasured them to such an extent, if she wore them it was with such reserva tions against marring them they often made her a figure of fun. Reckless Audrey contrariwise cut and snipped and draped her cotton frocks or her cheap silks, or inexpensive tissues un til she made herself a picture even Mother Molly could not deny that. "Yes, there are some cherries left. A good many indeed. And I'm quite through," she said, guardedly, shak ing Audrey's hand. "I got up at day break had my fruit all seeded and down in sugar ready for anything you know it must stand over night, even for wine. So now I'm ready to hear all the news you can tell me. Sarah Minor is coming in a little while so I won't let you start gos siping until she is here." "O, ho! Perfidious person!" Au drey pretended to whisper, shaking a tragic finger in Leland's face. 'You Invite me to my eclipse knowing as well as I do. I can't hold a candle to Miss Sarah Minor in anything least of all in teiling the news." The last words burned her. She could have bitten her tongue for speaking them., They were deadly true but how they sounded. She wanted to run away, to go straight home, cherryless. loverless to let Mother Molly and Sarah Minor have Leland in peace, but she must go with the honors of war. With her most winning smile, she ran to the telephone, called up a number and spoke low and rapidly as soon as she was answered. "Praise my after-thought once." she said gaily to Leland. "I had for gotten quite this was Martha Mar shall's day. She says she is just starting. I shall get home barely in time to meet her "Messing things as usual," Le 7 BE EVENING S70RY land interrupted. -"Martha Marshall is coming here. Didn't she tell you that?" "Then she's a wretch same as you are," Audrey protested. "I hate folks who break engagements--even myself "Yes, I know but there's one. en gagement I shan't let you break. It will have to be made, therefore, n presence of a witness," Leland broke in, tweaking her ear very gently. "Mother Molly is the. witness we need," he added, the least shake creeping into his voice. "Take hands with me before her, honey, and prom ise to make a man of me. You can if it's in me and I believe it is." "Leland! You you outrage!" Audrey gasped. "You must think I'm a reform school," she ran on breath lessly. He shook his head, took both her hands in his and said tensely, "No need to play with me longer, darling now I know you love me!" "Leland! I am ashamed of you! To say such a thing to a young lady in your own house!" Mother Molly shrilled. "To her face and mine! Oh! It's it's too dreadful!" "What's too dreadful. Mother Molly?" Sarah Minor peeped. S"he had a fine high voice which sounded odd, coming from a very plump chest. Audrey tried to free her hands, but Leland held them gently but firmly. "We are doing murder to the con ventions," he said. "Won't you help, like the good fellow you are?" "I don't know I don't under stand!" Sarah Minor peeped. Leland let go Audrey's hands, stood very straight and lifted his head, a fine red in either cheek. "I've loved Audrey all my life," he said. "But I never knew she loved me the same until I saw her show herself jealous of you. We know you and I she has no need to be we are the best of friends and you'll get the better man you deserve. Tell her you've known all along how it was with me After all, Sarah Minor was a good sort. She looked at the pair, drew their hands together and said, "Oh. you go 'long, Leland! You know I am the worst hand to tell folks news." (Copyright, 1913, by the Mc Clure Newspaper Syndicate.) EVEMNG CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON. Better Be Sure Thau Sorry. A few weeks ago a 2-year-old boy, whose position as the grandson of St. Gaudens, the famous sculptor, made him a figure in the world's news, got his hands on some strychnine pills and swallowed one. It was so large that it stuck in his throat, but the baby trav eled over to a table and actually man aged to clutch a glass of water in his little hands and wash the pill down. He died in convulsions before anything could be done. I suppose some millions of mothers shuddered as they read that story and promised themselves that no such thing should ever happen to their babies. And yet it will. Into some of those very homes the same tragedy will pro bably come. Where do I get such a terrible prophecy? Why, from that surest prophet of the future the past. I doubt if a day, surely not a week, went by in the last year in whicr a similar tragedy did not occur some where in this country. I doubt if there is one among my readers who does not personally know at least one family which has suffered such a loss. I know of two. In some of these cases there could be absolutely no blame attached. For instance, I know of one in which a doctor's child, who had been carefully taught not to enter his father's office, slipped in and helped himself to a large quantity of cathartic pills which were not at all poisonous, but which were fatal to him because of the size of the dose. In other cases there is a carelessness which is so bitterly punished that it excites our pity far more than our blame. Of course all children ought to be taught not to touch pills or anything of that sort without permission, but the best child will have his off moments, and so this training should be supple mented by unremitting care no to leave danger around. Don't keep poisons unless you abso lutely have to. When you must, label them with some striking label, and put them on a separate shelf which is un questionably out of the reach of chil dren, or better still, lock them up. Children have been known to reach shelves which their elders thought per fectly safe. Nor is it poisonous alone which ought to be kept out of a child's reach. Many medicines which would be harmless ta ken in small doses, might be fatal if a child helped himself in wholesale fashion. And one more caution. Never throw away a bottle with anything in it, es pecially anything poisonous. Not long ago, several children were poisoned by drinking something they found on a dump. So rinse out your bottles be fore you throw them away. You owe that precaution to other people's chil dren. QUAKER MEDITATION'S. From the Philadelphia Record. Love in a flat is short en suite.

It is as hard as Hint, and so full of worldly wisdom that it almost makes one shud der to behold.

Few things can be more self evi dently true than that the abality of the man of the house to make repairs and to do all manner of odd Jobs, coupled with his cheerful willingness to make and to do them, means a large saving in the conduct of the home. There are men whose tastes, bordering closely upon genius, run this way. It is to them, and to the example they set, perhaps, that posterity will attribute the final and glorious triumph over the problem of high cost of living. At all events, the person who can sit or stand unmoved while a neighbor of this type is in action is lacking in ap preciation of timely and useful human effort. The handy man around the house is at once an inspiration and a rebuke. While others of his sex stand by idly and useless and helpless In tho presence of domestic emergency, the handy man is engaged in setting right whatever is askew. If the gas stove leaks, he fixes it; escaping heat from the fireless cooker he promptly cheeks, and if the electric light fuse blows out he fixes that. Is the water pipe leak ing in the basement did son throw a ball through a pane of glass is the refrigerator radiating or the radiator refrigerating the handy man is there to fix them all. He mows the grass, paints the piazza, fixes the camera, mends the broken umbrella. Does a picture frame need regilding? Ho rt-gJlds it. Does the hardwood floor need repolishing? Leave it to him. And so it goes all along the line. You can always reach him when he is needed: you can always tell where to find him. He and his overalls aro In separable. The home that can claim him may well boast of a prlae. Is It necessary to say that there are men who when things around tho house need attention almost immediately go to the telephone and order somebody to come up, or down, or over, and at tend to it? Is it necessary to say that there are men who would not dare undertake anything In the carpenter ing, glazing, steamfitting or plumbing line? Need wives be told that there are husbands who do not know which way to turn when household repairs are called for? If these conditions be admitted, is it to he wondered at that many bills come into some families on the first of the month that the handy man's family never sees?

Auir. 11 TVi rcr ci- slons of the convention of the Amer j ican Federation of Catholic societies I were planned for today, starting with a business meeting at the auditorium. While visiting Catholics number some 30,000 the business of the gath ering is in the hands of about 500 delegates. The big convention, which was in augurated on Sunday by the celebra.- tion at St. John's cathedral of sol 1 emn pontifical mass by Cardinal Gib i hons and a sermon by Archbishop I Keane, was featured in the afternoon i by a parade of various societies in which more than 15,000 persons took part and in the evening a sacred con cert was given at the auditorium be fore a capacity audience. Among the things to be discussed during the convention are religious teaching in public schools and the problem of taxing Catholic citizens to maintain public schools when they are already maintaining parochial schools. Bishop McFaul'e solution for this is: "First, let Catholic schools remain as they are. "Second, let no compensation be made for religious instructions. Our principle is, let the pastor take care of the flock and live by the flock. "Third, let Catholic children be ex amined by a state or municipal board and if Catholic schools furnish the regular education required let the state put down the cash." Great interest will center in the mass meeting to be addressed by Archbishop Ireland at the auditorium tonignt. there is a movement on foot to organize a national league of Cath ihe Catholic WomenS nAnvI "31 others interested in the proposed league will he held in Ft John's cathedral auditorium, the first meet- being planned for today, wheni temporary officers will be chosen.

The wealth of gold and silver and paper money filling the vaults of the federal treas- I ury is due in no small measure to the record-breaking drinking, smoking and i card playing of the American people during the fiscal year 1913.

OTTO UKICTI XOW A RAMBLER. Returned After Long Abseni-e Leaves Again to Work as Laborer. Dodge City. Kan., Aug. 11. Otto Reich, the man who fled from this county two years ago, and whose "estate" was sold under the supposi tion that he was dead, has left for Lamar, Colo., to look for work. Reich is a bachelor who owned a good quar ter section of land in the German set- tlement in the east part of the county. After being gone two years he was recognized at Liberal several months ago and returned here. He said he had been frightened out of the country by two neighbors, brothers, who had appeared with a deed to his farm as soon as he was out of the country. He has been trying to start legal proceed- ings to recover it. but so far has been unsuccessful, and has been working as a farm hand for former neighbors. HflyE RECORD YEAR Rock Island's Annual Report Is Made Public. Earnings in 12 Months Were Highest in History. SPEND BIG SUM NEXT SEASON Maintenance Expenditures High Water Mark. at Rumors of Bankruptcy Routed by Late Showing. AH rumors in railway circles in To peka to the effect that the Rock Is land Lines' finances were in a dis tressed condition on account of serious setbacks in revenue the last fiscal year, were routed today when informa tion came to the general offices of the road in this city that a neat gain in business over 1912 would be shown j when the fiscal year report is made puonc soon. ptinnermore, tne as surance is given that in the coming fiscal period the road will spend more money for maintenance than in any previous 12-month budget. It is stated upon authority today that the Rock Island in the last year has earned a balance for dividends of between J3, 500. 000 and 4, 000, 000. This is a healthy financial showing considering the problems that the road has been forced to meet in the last twelve months. The amount for divi dends is equivalent to about 5.2 per cent on the $75,000,000 stock, of which more than 95 per cent is owned by the C, R. I. P. railroad proper. The showing compares with a distribution of a little more than $3,000,000 in 1912. The 1912 and 1913 balances for divi dends were nearly identical, taking the reports by millions, but a wide range is shown in the earning power for the two comparative years. Maintenance of way and equipment were increased by more than $3,000, 000 in 1913 over the previous year. This immense gain brings conditions to normal. From 1911 to 1912 the road decreased maintenance in order to cut down expenses. Spend More Money Next Year. The good news conveyed in the fiscal year report ia that in the last twelve months the Rock Island Lines spent more money for maintenance than In any previous year in the history of the road. In addition, it is promised that the maintenance expenditures in the 1914 period will be even larger. This indicates a general plan for the stand ardizing of the roadbed in all main line territories and an upkeep that will bring the road to compare with any in the Country. Further expansion in traffic neces sarily will bring about an increase in maintenance and the officers of the road look for a good 1913 business. In an interview in the State Journal some time ago President Mudge- said that the road's earnings on the stock would be kept close to 6 per cent per annum in the year 1913. The earnings of 5.2 per cent were sufficient to war rant the Rock Island's, declarations of 5 per cent dividends. The business of the last year broke all records. The total operating reve nue amounted to $71,300,000. This Is an increase of nearly $7,000,000 over 1912, and nearly $3,000,000 over 1911. Freight revenues gained $5,200,000 or 1.8 per cent and passenger revenue $1,100,000 or 6.3 per cent. Total reve nue was $6,600,000 or 10.3 per cent. The showing will dispell all bank ruptcy and hard times rumors in con nection with the Rock Island Lines. BOYS DHOWXED AT CHAUTAUQUA Robert Trump of Topeka Helps Re cover Bodies.

Cra ven, a resident of Topeka and unable to swim, was forced to hang onto the up turned bottom of a boat Sunday after noon at Lake Contrary and watch a friend, H. Geitner, of Chicago, drown. Craven, together with Geitner, Arch Parnum of St. Joseph, and Henry K. Matheson of Chicago, had gone to the lake early in the atfernoon to swim. They rowed to deep water and Geitner stood up on one end of the craft and dived overboard. He was a large man and his weight was sufficient to upset the boat, leaving Craven and his two companions floundering in the water. Almost instantly he was striken with cramps and shouted for help. Parnum was also stricken with cramps and Craven, although unable to swim and hanging to the upturned bottom of the boat, made frantic ef forts to reach the drowning man. A pulmotor was rushed to the lakeside to save the life of Geitner and was used with no effect. Force was used to restrain Craven from rushing into the water when word was received on shore that his friend's body had been recovered. Mr. Craven is a clerk In the Santa Fe offices and lives at 1261 Buchanan street. MOTHER OF TEX KILLS SELF. Wife of Prominent Farmer Commits Bash Act While Despondent. Alma, Aug. 11.

SOME TIME THIS FALL. Will Be Cut In Water Rate, Says I Xewland. Some time this fall, as soon as the present improvements at the city wa ter plant have been completed and the officials can figure just what cut can be made, there will be a reduc tion in the price of water. This is the statement made again this morning by Commissioner P M. Newiand. .lust what the cut will be the commissioner does npt know now. But it will be a reduction, and it will be as much as can be made under the present circumstances. The big new pump at the pumping station will relieve the city from fur ther expense in equipment for many, years as far as the plant is concerned. At least it will give all the pumping power that will be needed for a dozen years at least. A proposed reservoir to provide an emergency supply will not be. very expensive. "The cut in rates will be made this fall" Newland said. "It will be made just as soon as the improvements are completed. We have not worked out what the cut will be, but there will be a reduction."

"Kansas has raised enough feed this year for three times the amount of stock in the whole state," said Governor Hodges, while visiting his home town. The governor was at his old home for a visit among his neighbors and for the closing day of the Chautauqua. "Cut out all the talk about 'poor Kansas' being 'burned up." Our prob lem is not lack of products. It is ex actly the problem they are having to deal with in Missouri and Iowa and Nebraska and in all this part of the country water. "We were "never in such splendid financial condition and never were so well prepared to stand a little setback on account of weather conditons. "We have raised enough stuff this year to fatten every head of livestock in the state and then we could go into Missouri and other states and buy three head of cattle, horses, hogs and sheep for every head of these animals now in the state and feed this import ed stock and still have plenty left. "The only trouble we are having is lack of water and that is common to all of our neighboring states this year. "Kansas raised a big wheat crop this year, a big oats crop and a big potato crop. "Two cuttings of alfalfa were the best ever. The tame hay was all right, a big crop of it, too. And our bank de posits are at top notch. It really has been a year of plenty in Kansas and we would not have noticed the short age there will be in the corn crop but for the lack of water to tide the stock through for a few weeks." DAVIDSON IS HANGED. Condemned Man Protests His Iu nocencc to the Last. Harrison, Ark., Aug. 11. Protesting his innocence to the last Odus David son, the youth convicted of brutally murdering Ella Barham last Novem ber 21, was hanged here by Sheriff Helm at 11 o'clock this morning. The execution took place in the jail yard in the presence of twenty-five wit nesses. Two uncles and a sister of the condemned man waited in the office of the sheriff and claimed the body for burial immediately following the ex ecution. Since his arrest, shortly after the body of Miss Barham had been found in the woods near here, Davidson has maintained his innocence of complicity in the crime. Public sentiment was so greatly aroused that all of the rela tives of the youth were forced to leave the country and sought new abodes in Oklahoma. Every effort has been made to free the youth and appeals were made to the supreme court and to the governor for stay of execution. Several con tinuances were granted. Davidson did not appear to realize until the last few days that he was to die. Aji hour before he was hanged he fainted in his cell. In a statement made from the scaffold Davidson de clared his innocence. TWO BARNS BURNED. Fire Did $2,000 Damage This After noon at 1500 tjuiney Street. Fire from an unknown source at 2:15 o'clock this afternoon destroyed two barns and badly damaged two others on the alley east of 1500 Kansa3 avenue, doing damage to the amount of about $2,000. A small amount of in surance was carried on the property destroyed. The fire originated in a barn be longing to J. M. Ferguson east of the alley, and on East Fifteenth street. It spread very rapidly, firing a barn im mediately south of it, and two just across the alley in a very few minutes. The fire department reached the scene in time to save the complete destruc tion of the two barns west of the alley, and to prevent a further spread of the flames. Three of the barns belonged to W. W. Gilmore and Walton Gilmore, 1500 Kansas avenue, contractors, and a quantity of tools and cement made the loss much greater than the value of the barns. Nothing in any of the barns was saved. RUN DOWN BY CAR. Civil War Veteran Seriously Hurt at Mel vera. Melvern, Kan., Auff. 11. Captain Emery Hughes, a veteran of the civil war, while attempting to cross the street here was run over by an automobile, driven by Wm. YVolfley. and seriously if not fatally hurt. He had started to cross the street, and not seeins? the automobile until it was nearly onto him. became confused and stepped in front of the machine. One wheel of the car ran over him. crushing one arm, and breaking his shoulder blade, his collar bone, and several of his ribs. Xo blame is attached to Wolf ley. as he was only driving 5 or 6 miles per hour, and the accident was clearly unavoidable. Mr. Hughes served with distinction throughout the civil war. attaining to the rank of captain. He was one of the earliest settlers on the reserve here, and was well known throughout this part of the country. I. T. U. IN CONVENTION First Session of Delegates Is Confined to Addresses.

After a wash-up in country spring or brook they answer the purpose of linen towels, and .then ian be thrown away. They serve as napkins at luncheons and are useful in many other ways. A sofa pillow, and hassock are inval uable .on a. longiotor trip,, particularly to any on.e.wtoo is short and has to sit on the wide back seat of a touring car. The hassock eives a brace for your feet, and the soft pillow a rest for your back in case of a severe jolt, and both aid much comfort and' ease to what might otherwise be a tiresome trip. What to do with numeious small packages in an automobile after the pockets are full can be solved by han; ing a child's doll hammock to the top, over one s head. 1 nis is especially handy for a long trip when space is at a premium. A hot-cold bottle and a tireless cook er are just the things for a long au tomobile trip. In them food or drink can be kept either ice cold or smoking hot, just as you prefer. Your lunch can be cooked in the tireless or else simply be keeping hot. They are two in dispensable articles to the motorist. There is a tourists' package which is splendid for motorists, having the ad vantage of being compact just a long, flat envelope containing toilet acces sories that may be thrown away after use. Each package contains six paper towels, one paper mache comb, one wash cloth, one portion of soap and one drinkin cup. A flat pocketbook case may he bought which contains a basin. l l wash cloth, soap and towel. The tasin is of rubber and folds flat. A toy trunk makes an inexpensive and practical lunch box. It will hold enough for several meals, and the tray can be used for napkins and small sil ver. LOCAL MENTION. W. E. Jeffrey, Dentist. 706 Kansas ave. Adv.

Many Are the Vicissitudes of 'the Soda Fountain Clerk. How many thirsty mortals ever stop to consider the habits and occupation of the human machine in a white coat and apron who handles with such consummate skill and disdainful non chalance the delectable mixtures and concoctions that fizz so seductively in the glasses on the white marble coun ter of the soda fountain? How many really know anything of the soda clerk's job, more than that he is a va riety of the penus waiter and that he i can tell the difference between a choc- late nut sundae and an egg phosphate? Thousands of people every day dur ing the summer season crowd the stores of Washington in quest of cool ing decoctions to quench their gilt edged thirsts and at the same time tickle their palates, yet few of them could tell of half the duties and vicis situdes incumbent upon the daily routine life of the boy behind the soda fountain counter, nor have they any accurate idea of the size and scope of the business of dispensing soft drinks. The deftness and speed with which some of the dispensers of soda at the larger down town fountains go about their work is nothing short of awe inspiring it one torgets ones arm, for a moment and stops to watch. There is one tall, broad shouldered youth who holds forth at a down town T., h hnl,ra hs known

to "jerk" sodas at a steady rate of from nine to ten a minute, which means one customer served every six seconds. He is an old hand at the business, and has the statistics of his fountain at his fingers' ends. The iigures which he mentions are start ling. "Of all the syrups and flavorings used at this fountain," he says, "chocolate is by far the most popular. Very often as many as fifteen gal lons of this flavoring pass across the counter in one day, and it is neces sary to keep four soda pumps con tinually filled with it to supply the huge demand. Xext to the chocolate in public favor is lemon. Some idea of the relative popularity of choco late over all other flavors may bo gained by observing that almost thro times as much of chocolate as of lem on flavoring is sold, the daily demand for lemon amounting to six gallons at this fountain. "One drink that is becoming creasingly popular is the limeade It is sold at every fountain of any size in the city and. unlike some other drinks, is flavored with the fresh fruit juice. Our fountain dispenses regularly each day 300 glasses of this drink. Cherry phosphates, cherry sundaes and cherry cocktails are also much in demand. The cherry cock tail is put up in fancy style with bits of lemon and cracked ice, and looks as though it might be the real thing. "The soda fountain nowadays, sou know, is coming to rival the quick lunch establishment. Every day, from 11 in the morning until 2 and Z in the afternoon, we handle a large lunch trade with business men, who seem to prefer milk and egg drinks to pie- and ham sandwiches. In or der to make up enough of these 'food drinks' to meet the daily call for them we consume on an average ten dozen eggs and 150 quarts of milk and cream every twenty-four hours. I have found in my work here that it is principally the men who order the heavy drinks, such as milk shakes and egg phosphates: the women come' in to gratify their tastes rather than their appetites, and with them we do an immense trade in ice cream sodas and sundaes.

Why, in order to properly serve the 2,500 people who drink here daily it is necessary to keep two, and oftentimes three men steadily at work mixing drinks off the counter. A first-class soda jerker' must learn to put every motion that he makes to some good use. Both hands must be going steadily. While he is drawing the carbonated water for one. drink hp rust be rounding up a glass and rinsing it for the next, or swabbing the counter, or passing the straws, or doing any of the hundred and one little tasks that are so plenti ful about a soda fountain. The soda boy who cannot train himself into the best method for saving every motion possible need not hope to hold down a good job very long." The boys who work the soda f oun tains about Washington have the best chance in the world to study the cur ious little traits of character peculiar to the people who deal with them, i Many a soda fiend, if he could see him- self as the boy at his favorite fountain j sees him, would turn over a new leaf and mend his ways. i Not long ago a women entered a big j Pennsylvania avenue establishment and demanded a certain flavor of ice cream soda. The boy behind the eoun i ter hastened to mix the desired drink, and in his hurry, managed to splash a i little plain carbonated water on her silk skirt. The liquid was harmless, but the woman, much incensed at the dispenser's carelessness, vowed that her dress was completely ruined. The offending soda boy pleaded in vain that no harm could result from the mishap, but she left the counter in high dudgeon and swept haughtily forth. All this happened at an hour peril ously near midnight. Apparently the good lady spent the remainder of that night endeavoring to wash away the imaginary stain on her skirt, and dur ing the process must have convinced herself that it was actually there, for before the clock over the postoffice had registered 9 the following morn ing a messenger appeared at the scene of the late disaster with an .indignant note from the much wronged custom er and a bill for $2.50 damages "to defray the expense of cleansing." The manager of the fountain, rather than engage in an altercation, acceded to her demand and ruefully paid up. Upon another recent occasion, at this same counter, a customer four.l fault with the strength of his drink, saying after tasting it very perfunc torily, that it was nothing but sweet ened water. The soda boy, knowing that he had injected the proper amount of flavoring into the drink, de cided that his customer was only throwing a "bluff." Accordingly he proceeded to experiment. Taking the rejected mixture, he placed it conven iently to hand behind the counter and began the mixing of a second drink, this time adding twice as much flavor ing as was usual, his customer watch ing him narrowly meanwhile. When the second mixture was ready to be served he held it for a moment be hind the counter on pretense of stir ring it, and in that moment he deftly exchanged it for the original drink, which he handed to the unsuspecting fault finder. The soia boy's suspi cions proved to be well founded. Xo further kick was forthcoming, and the discontented customer drained his glass. Washington Star.

Dr. Woods Mutchinson In tiia linr,!.- '"Common Diseases," published by i'Houghton Mifflin Co., entertainingly discusses old age conditions that will come to each of us if we live long enough: "If we are going to do anything to cure the disease of old age, we must begin before birth. Indeed, as Olivers Wendell Holmes wittily remarked on the prevention of disease, 'we must j begin with the grandparents." The so- called senile changes are changes which have been going on ever sinco we began our individual existence. "The time when we begin to feel old, the particular period at which we begin to 'show our age,' Is merely that period at which these Internal changes have reached and shown themselves upon the surface; in i which, so to speak, these microscopic alterations have finally become visible to the naked eye. "It is nothing short of absurd to say that a man becomes old, or senile, or incapable of further development or incapable of the conception of new ideas at, or after, any special or par ticular age. There is no one period of life in which we grow, and another in which we decline. Both processes are going on side by side in every part of our body from the day we are born. Just as the life of the body means the death of certain of its cells, so the growth of every power and faculty means the sacrifice and the decay of others. Every primitive cell of the embryo lays down part of its life to become a muscle cell, a neurone, a Dlood corpuscle, or a bone cell. "The process has no limit, any more than it has beginnings. Life is Just that, one-third dying that two-thirds may live, whether it be the single cell, or the hugest and most elaborate body. While in such gross matters as mere avoirdupois and stature, and the ac tual horsepower of our muscles, we reach a limit, a period of what we are pleased to call maturity, at a compara tively early age; yet in other and mors important respects we continue to grow and develop steadily, to a very much later period 55, 60 and even 70 years. Xew and valuable achieve ments, masterpieces in every realm of human activity and interest, have been produced hundreds of times in every decade, up to and including the ninth. "It is obvious then that there is no hard and fast 'dead line' which can possibly be drawn, beyond which no further growth, or fresh creative ef fort, or new enterprise, or- improve ment is possible. In fact, by living a healthful, active, happy life, and keep ing up all our interests, we can grow and develop and adjust ourselves, and feel that we are growing until we are one day suddenly dead, without ever realizing in any distressing or painful way that we are growing old at all."

The police in Trafalgar Square al lowed the procession to leave the snuare and then fell in behind. The suffrage sympathizers saw the reason for this move when they encountered a battle line of heavy policemen thrown across Whitehall at the Horse Guards, the office of the inspector gen eral. The militants rushed this line with such dash and courage that a few of them penetrated the first cordon where the fight became so fierce that the police used their clubs. Reserves then appeared, and Sylvia Pankhurst and five other women and nine men were arrested and taken to the police station in taxicabs.

s THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11. 1913. Jociety fk (?5Tcr:,nr"irjTT TCTrh Miss Rachel Coston. whose engage ment to Mr. Frank Albert Theis, of Kansas City, has been announced, has chosen Wednesday, October I, as the date of her wedding. The marriage will take place at the home of the bride's parents. Dr. and Mrs. Willis Coston, 1009 Buchanan street. Miss Coston's only attendant will be her Bister, Miss Corinne Coston. Mr. Theis has not yet chosen his best man. The marriage 'day of Miss Coston and Mr. Theis, will be the fifty-fifth wedding an niversary of the bride's grandmother. The engagement has been discussed among Miss Coston's friends a good many months. Mr. Theis has been in Topeka frequently in the past year, of course, and many of Miss Coston's friends have become acquainted with him. The marriage will culminate a college romance, for Miss -Coston and Mr. Theis were students at the Kansas State university. Mr. Theis graduated from the university in 1912, and is now in business in Kansas City, Mo., being connected wiith the Xeola Elevator company. He is a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, and is said to be an extremely likable and promis ing young man. Miss Coston is a graduate of the To peka high school, and later she at tended the state university at Law rence, where she was a member of tne Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. She is one of the prettiest young women of her set, of the girlish, rosy-cheeked type, with the gayety, vivacity and spontaneity that lends large to a girl's popularity. Miss Coston also is vari ously accomplished. She has given at tention to vocal music and studied some time in Kansas City this year. She dances beautifully and has taken leading parts in a number of local the atricals. She had an important part in the Kirmiss given in Topeka a year or two ago, and she took a leading role in "Boy Blue," the last of the local talent shows put on by the society peo ple. The wedding of Miss Coston and Mr. Theis will be looked forward to as an event of interest in social circles, though regretfully by Miss Coston's friends, inasmuch as she will leave To peka after her marriage to make her home in Kansas City. For the girl from 18 to 20, this chic little pink linen is especially suitable. Much of the design displays familiar lines but the touches of black proclaim its French origin and give an individ ual charm to its beauty. Much dis tinction is acquired also by the ex quisite sprays of hand embroidery which decorate the blouse and skirt closing. The neck, closing edge of both Mouse and skirt and bottom of the latter are finished in small hand em- broidered scallops. There are little I turn-back cuffs of black silk and girdle i with huge bow of the same. With this 4a .-ortb ti nii'turcsnuf hat trimmer! in i roses and black velvet ribbon. Mr. E. A.

The club planned to give a re ception for the members of the club as soon as cooler weather comes. The social committee has charge of the plans, as to when and where the party will be given. The club is planning a busy season to begin in the fall, and the party .his summer will afford an opportunity for the members to meet for the first time since the regular meetings were dis continued. It was determined at the executive board meeting to write to the National Committee on rules in the National House of Itepresentatives, asking them to appoint a committee on woman suf frage. There has never been such a committee in congress. The dub will ask the city to pro vide a detention home for children who are taken from incompetent parents or guardians, and who have no proper place provided for them pending their disposition in a home or institution. The work and the needs of the Crit tenden home were also discussed at the meeting, and the necessity of a hospital room for women at the jail. A fund for that work lias already been started, and the club hopes for help for the purpose from others who may be interested. The club will recommend to the city government, the placing of public char ities in charg-- of a welfare board un der the city government, and having i all expenditures reported to the city. In cities where the plan is tried, all church enterprises for charity work in connection with the board, so that I there is no "overlapping" in providing for the destitute. The first regular meeting for the fall will be held some time in September, and the winning teams of the industral school boys in the first aid to the in jured drill, under the direction of Dr. H. W. Charles, will give a demonstra tion. A committee has been appointed to receive furniture for the women's rooms and the matron's rooms at the city jail, and books for the librari-js which the members will give.

Now is the time fftr the deft fingered girl to enhance her costumes with bead decoration. As most beadwork ig done by hand, it would be expensive to buy bead-trimmed clothes, as hand work is always costly. Beaded motifs and ornaments, bead fringes and bead tassels will all be promi nent, with the colors ranging from the subdued tones to the brightest known shades and combinations. Orange, yel low bright green, purple, blue and red are used in combination on a back-ground of black, navy or white net. Light colors will also be used for evening gowns, such as white, pale blue, pink, lavender, etc., with gold and silver bugles, seed beads and satin beads. White china and satin beads are used on black net and chiffon with white or black embroidery and vice versa. Jet beads and bugles are used with while Fafin beads and white and black em broidery on white chiffon or net. Ne chiffons and nets have a printed design in contrasting colors, which are brougnt out by an outline of colored, gold or china beads or by colored silk or metal threads. In these designs oriental patterns are much used. For the simple touches of scroll design UFed on yokes, Fleeves and tunics the beads should be strung on a thread, fash ioned into some graceful design and sewn to the gown or other article of wearing apparel. The pattern in embroideries mav be worked up with silver, jet or col ored beads. Plain bands and beaded girdles are made by stringing the beads on firm linen thread. These strings of various colored beads are then couched down upon net to form bands and medallions. You must design as you go along when making thU kind of beadwork, as it is impossible to have working patterns for it. When following a design that is to be crocheted, insert the needle through the stitch, push the bead close to the edge of the work farthest from you. draw tbe threca througn the loop on to the hook, leaving the bead on the other side, which, when finished, will be the right side of the work. Fans are touched up with beads; there are beads on slippers, stockings, purses, neckwear and hair ornaments. If you wish to go into more extensive beadwork, for a small price you may buy a loom which tou could easily learn to manipu late. Washington Star. East Side Stars' 17, X. T.

C. A. will take a two weeks' vacation beginning Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Reisner will visit relatives at Kansas points. The fire companies at Station No. 6 were called this morning to extin guish a small blaze in the Second street viaduct. How the fire caught is a mystery unless it was a spark from a passing locomotive. The danger was very slight. j Cantaloupes and watermelons locally 1 grown are on sale at Topeka stores. I The former bring from five to ten cents each and the latter sell at the rate of from one and one-half to two cents a pound. The large watermelons ire shipped in from Oklahoma. A claim of $497.03 cf S. S. Ott for a title to two lots on Monroe street, bought in by the city on the execution against John Ritchie, was allowed by j the commission this morning. A war- i ranty deed for the property has been deposited by Mr. Ott with the city treasurer. The lots will be offered for j sale. j An ordinance providing for the is suance of $18,226.94 in improvement j bonds for the repaying of West Sixth avenue and several adjacent alleys, j was passed by the city commission this morning. All the bonds are due I and payable in the next ten years, and I draw interest at the rate of Wz per cent. Of course there is need of rain. There generally is need of rain in Kansas and Oklahoma about this time of year. There generally is some loss of corn from lack of rain. Perhaps; the shortage of rain is a little more serve, and the sun a little more scorching than usual, but things are far from being in very bad shape. Merchants Journal. On account of adverse weather con ditions in California and shortage in the fruit crop elsewhere canned fruit is expected to be high in price next win- ter. This even includes apples. The Merchant's Journal says: "Prices have advanced away above what they were some weeks ago, and at present are firm. The prospective crop of winter apples will be small, and on this ac count canners are very conservative about taking on more orders for future delivery. Spot apples are firm at last j quoted figures." j An ordinance fixing the salaries of j employees at the city crematory finally was passed this morning, but without I the increases recommended by Com-; missioner Porter. All of the salaries, j which never have been fixed by ordi- nance, are fixed at the rate now being paid, and that has been paid since the establishment of the crematory. The salaries, as now fixed are as follows: j Superintendent, $65 a month: book-: keeper, $65 a month; collector, $60 a! month: firemen, $2 a day when actual-) lv employed: laborers, $2 a day when' actually employed; driver and teams using city wagon, $3.75 a day when actually employed, and where they furnish their own wagon, $4 a day. An ordinance amending a former j ordinance prohibiting stands from do- ing business along Kansas avenue, was j passed by the city commission this! morning. The new ordinance makes it a misdemeanor for any individual or corporation to maintain a stand of any kind on Kansas avenue fron Ninth street to Fifth street, or half a block J in any direction from any of the cor- i ners mentioned except the intersection of Sixth and Kansas avenues where j no stand nearer than a block in any di rection may be maintained. The ordi-j nance also prohibits the maintenance j of any stands for the sale of any kind State pair yopjma September 8th to 12th, 1913 Mammoth Live Stock and Agricultural Exhibit.

The ordinance seeks to keep the street clear on Kansas ave nue and for half a block on each side of the avenue, and to keep the side walks free from obstructions incident to permanent or portable stands of any kind. Search and seizure warrants will be used, if found necessary, in the en forcement of the anti-cigarette ordi nance of the city, according to Mayor Cofran. That will mean that a squad of police are likely to stop at any cigar stand and go through the stock in a search for contraband cigarettes and cigarette papers, the same as "joints" are raided. The sale of cigarettes, and the giving away or sale of cigarette papers must stop, the mayor says, if the police department has to resort to search and seizure methods. Violators, he says, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. "I know that cigar ettes are being sold and that cigarette papers are being sold and given away in violation of the law, and so does i everybody else," the mayor said this morning. "We are going to stop it. We are going to do whatever is neces sary to stop it, even if we have to re sort to search and seizure proceedings. j I hope we won t have to go that far, but we may." Weigh your ice. If it doesn't weigh out report to Mayor Cofran. Several complaints of shortages in ice have been made to the mayor recently, and he is beginning an investigation. Some of the complaints have charged that ice weighing only 15 to 18 pounds has been delivered for 25 pounds. The de livery of short weight in ice, or any- i thing else for that matter, subjects the company making such delivery to a, fine of from $5 to $500. "Perhaps it; is the same old story, I don't know,'' Mayor Cofran said this morning. "They' used to haul around a block of ice that weighed 100 founds when they left the factory, for half a day, and then, no matter how much had melted, cut it into blocks, and delivery a fourth of j WESTE mm THEO.

The graduate so dis tinguished was Harold Clark Thompson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar S. Thomp son, and the distinction was a recogni tion of the fact that he has been in school for the last 13 years, all told, without having ever been tardy or ab sent. Two of his brothers went through school with a clean record also. Oscar S. Thompson, Jr.. was gradu ated from the high school in lftoti with a perfect record, and Bradley Thomp son got hip blue ribbon in 1910.

NVUfT Does FAINT H6MI.T Jlut A SPATB FLU,H AR-e YOU A ONE-MAN CRUSADE. Just before graduating for the min istry Bruce Stevens spent four days In the town of Newburn as a part of his vacation. He was a young man of 26. wealthy, and as a stranger in the town and asking many Questions and peeking and peering about a great deal, he excited considerable curosity. There was one thing about him that all remarked and that was his. fighting jaw. It even caused some of the tough ones in the town to wonder if he wasn't a champion middleweight looking about for training Quarters. Mr. Stevens found a political boss and a political ring in the town. He found one-half too many sa loons for a town of its population. He found the sheriff of the county and his deputies and the constable in cahoots with the tough element. The justice of the peace was the keeper of a saloon and passed drinks over the bar, and he protected his own sort when it came to legal troubles. The three church edifices were in sad need cf repairs. So were the con gregations of the three ministers, -all of whom were old men. Weekly prayer meetings had been given up because of the slim attend--iiice. Sunday services had come to be almost a travesty. The saloons were open all day Sun day in defiance of the law and it was the favorite day for baseball, horse racing and other sports. "Why don't you do something?" he asked of a merchant of the town, who was a representative of the betted ele ment. "And get boycotted and driven into bankruptcy?" was asked in return. "Is it as bad as that?" Tiiu tru n f Vins us hv the neck and has us scared. We have no leader. I Many of us do not go to the polls at ejection, time.-. "Whisky .and. intimida tion run the town. Now and thei" some one has sought to start a wave of reform, but he didn't last long. The gang beats him up and burned hia barn. I can name you four different men who have been ruined by the boycott. Were you thinking of re moving here?" "I am not decided," said Mr. Ste vens. "Business man?" "No. I hope to be in the ministry soon." "Well, you'd better pray for a parish in Africa "than to be sent here. 1 judge if you had a church here you'd go in for reform?" "'I most certainly would." "And you'd do more hurt than good. Might as well try to reform a pack cf hyenas. There's got to be a cyclone or an earthquake to wipe out the town before you can even whisper reform. 1 am a God-fearing man, but I hope you will r.ot come." "We can't tell," said the young man as he turned away with a sigh. A few weeks later, when ready to take up his ministerial duties, he asked to be sent to Newbern. "But we have a minister there," was replied. "But he has lost nearly his congre gation." "Yes, the reports from that parish are not at all cheering, and I be lieve Brother Baker would welcome a transfer. You know it's one of the hardest towns in the state?" "I have spent four days there." "The cause of leligion is reported as very lukewarm." "I didn't know that there was any there at all," smiled the young min ister. "Well, you'll be appointed to the place. I hope you may stir thing3 up." It was rumored in Newbern that a new minister was coming, and there were citizens who shook their heads and said: "He'll want to reform things, and he'll only make the situation worse. We must advise him to go slow." And the tough element slapped each other on the back and chuckled and said: "We'll eat him up inside of two weeks if he meddles with us." The Rev. Mr. Stevens arrived. He started out with a sermon that jolted and jarred. He sp ired neither Chris tian nor sinner. While he criticised the former for lack of backbone, he plainly told the latter that the crisis had come. The crisis meant decency and reform without any shame about it. After the sermon he lingered to talk with members of his congrega tion. He found them looking for ward with great timidity. If he start ed a crusade he must not expect any active help from them. They were thoroughly boss-ridden and cowed. "This Is to be a one man crusade," vie answered them. "I did not expect your aid, and so I'm not disappointed. I do not expect from the other min isters anything more than their good wishes." Monday morrftng the crusade opened. Mr. Stevens visited the sher iff, and without any beating around the bush, he said: "Sheriff, I am the new minister." "Yes?" "I am going for jour crowd tooth and toe-nail." "Why do you call it my crowd?" was asked. "Because it is. There are viola tions of the law every hour of the day, and you stand by without inter ference. You drink in every saloon, and you comrade with every law breaker. It's the same with your deputies and the constables. It's got to stop. You have got to do your sworn duty." "Another reformer struck the town, eh?" was the insulting reply. "There has, Mr. Sheriff, and he's talking right at you! If you don't today notify every saloonist in town to obey the law in regard to closing hours, and if you don't tomorrow ar i rest all def iersi I will report you to the governor, who is a personal friend of mine, and ask for your removal!" "Huh!" The sheriff went from saloon to sa loon and laughed at the reformer and said there should be no Interference from him. Within two weeks he was removed and another man named by tne minister was in his shoes. The citizens of Newbern were stunned. It seemed incredible. "They will burn his church!" was "whispered by one element. "Well make him sick of his little game!" was openly boasted by the other. The Rev. Mr. Stephens visited' the Justice in his saloon and said: "It's for you to enforce the law, and here you are among the law-breakers! The others are depending upon you to dismiss any complaint made against them. "What course are you going to take?" "None of your business!" The next day the minister com plained of nine saloons which had vio lated the law. Each of them was dis missed. Inside of 20 days the old justice was out and a new one in. "Scorch the meddler!" was whis pered about, and a couple of hard cases turned up at church at mid night one night to start a fire. They found the minister there on guard, and were dragged to jail, and in a day or two were held to a higher court, from which they would go to prison. There were ordinances against Sun day sports. They had not been en forced in five years. They came to the front now. No more baseball or horse-racing. "Beat the meddler up!" was whis pered, and a shake-purse was made up to reward a scrapper for doing it. He started out with great ardor to make a two-minute 30b of it, but it lasted only half that time. The min ister knocked him out with a jab on the jaw, and then had him arrested and fined for disorderly conduct. Some three or four days later some one tried to set fire to the house where the reformer boarded. He was on the job with a shotgun, and the would-be arsonist carried away with him a fine dose of birdshot. Then a public meeting was called at a hall, and the minister did some tall talking. He put heart into the decent citizens so strongly that they came out boldly to his support, while the opposition was made to realize that their cause was lost. One thing more. The Rev. Mr. Stephens, from his pulpit, raked the citizens of Newbern as they had never heard a minister talk before. They owed a duty to God and to man. They must show up at church, whether they were Christians or not. The Sunday school must be resurrected. There must be church work. Reli gion and politics must mix until ev ery office in the county was filled by a decent man. The devil had had possession of Newbern long enough. Now he must be knocked down and dragged out. There was no devil there a year later. A stranger stopping at the inn of a Sunday would have looked around htm and mused: "A clean town a nice town a re spectable town. Everybody seems to be going to church, and I guess I'll go along too." -(Copyright, 1913, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

DISAPPEARS A FT lift OPERATION. H. I)nran lie-turned tYoin Hospital ami Hasn't Been Seen Since. Kinsley. Kan., Aug. 11. No word has been gained of H. Doran who dis appeared from his farm home near Fullcrton on the night of July 24. Doran had just returned from Cold water, where he had a surgical opera tion performed on his skull.

Kinsley, Kan., Aug. 11. Between three and four hundred acres of grow ing crops were destroyed by a prai rie fire started on the Frank Springer Place, south of the Arkansas river near hero. The dry condition of vege tation caused the flames to spread rap Idly and the prompt action of neigh bors and a large number of citizens. What the Public Wants The greatest students of "what the public wants" are those men who are pro ducing something for pub lic consumption. It may be anything from sofety pins to bedsteads, but if these men are putting their time, money and brains into turning out something that will meet the popular de mand, you may be sure they are putting the best results of their experience into placing on the market an article that will come up to the requirements of an exacting public. Not until they are con vinced that they have an article that will stand the test do they attempt to sell it. Then they place it be fore the people in the col umns of the best newspa pers that they can; find. You can not afford not to profit by the work and ex perience of these men. The only way that you may reap the benefits of fered by their brains and labor is to keep in touch with what they are doing by reading what theey say to you in THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL and equally good newspapers. Chase County Farmers Get Good Crop of Alfalfa. Cottonwood Falls. Kan., Aug. 11 Alfalfa growers of this vicinity are now harvesting their seed crop and a few have already begun threshing. Al though hardly far enough under way to tell just what the yield will be, yet judging from those who have already threshed, the crop will not likely be as heavy as was expected. J. E. Gay er, just west of town, secured six and one-half bushels of seed per acre from his crop, which so far is the best yield reported. Frank Copeland, a neigh bor, threshed four and one-half bush els per acre. E. C. Shaft, of Clements, has just finished threshing a. 40-acre field, which made 180 bushels, worth from $1,200 to $1,300. which is not a bad showing considering the fact thai he has already harvested one big hay crop and expects to cut another before the season is over. Four other seeds crops to be thresh ed here this week were on the Ed Childs. J. O. Wilson, Romigh Harder and White farms, which ran from two to four bushels to the a.cre, in each case this seed being worth $15 to $25 per acre. Owing to the scarcity of prairie hay and other grass crops, farmers here, who have been receiving $S per ton for loose alfalfa hay. are now offered $10 on the local market, but very few of them are selling, as they expect high er prices. OPEX NEW COAk FIELD. effect the first of the week. A num ber of the farmers are already cutting corn fodder and feeding it to their stock. West Mineral Deposits Will Be Work ed 24 Inches Thick. West Mineral, Kan., Aug. 11. A union meeting of the business men and coal miners of West Mineral, Kan., was held at the instigation of the Commercial club for the purpose of discussing the proposition of opening i an entirely new coal field in this ter ritory. It has been known for years to the coal operators and miners that an up per vein of coal, of an average thick ness of 24 inches free from faults, underlies the surface of the entire northwestern quarter of Cherokee county. Practical miners assert that this vein can be handled by the long wall process of mining and that a greater tonnage per acre can be se cured than has ever been known from this productive field.. A few days ago a petition signed by five hundred min ers was sent to Alex. Howatt, presi dent of district No. 14. I". M. W. of A., asking him to nieet'the operators and endeavor to secure a scale of wages for I operating this vein of coal. ACQUIT CIGARETTE SMOKERS. I Was First Oase ill Saline County Both Were Boys, j Gypsum City. Ka4i.. Aug. 11. The i first test case in Saline county under the anti-cigarette laws was tried at i Gypsum and resulted in an acquittal. The warrant for Faye Harris and Rus sell Hill, the boys arrested, was sworn out by Mrs. A. B. Gillum. and the hearing was b fore Justice Miller at that place. The charge in addition to smr.king cigarettes on the public high way was that of disturbing the peace. FARMERS- COULDN'T LOSE. Planted Crop and Played Board of Trade Won on Latter. Manhattan, Kan., Aug. 11. "If we don't get a corn crop we are bound to win; if we get a corn crop we will make our money back and some more, too, on the crop. We'll play this thing a bit, just a leetle, you know. Too many have gone to the wall by playing it strong." The above statemnet was made be fore a gathering of a few farmers and some Manhattan business men last spring, when corn could be bought for 51 cents per bushel. That was when Kansas was receiving plenty of rain and the newly planted corn was just pushing through the earth. The pros pects were good for a crop then. The result was that some dozen men, well known in Manhattan, sent their checks down to Kansas City and played the board of trade. The bro kers had instructions to buy corn. It was selling for 51 cents per bushel. And they bought. Incidentally corn is now selling for about 85 cents per bushel. One farmer, who lives a few miles southeast of Manhattan, put up $100. It made him $2,000 this week. One St. George man put up $1,000. He made $20,000. A Manhattan man put up $200. He made $4,000. The amounts put up last spring ranged all the way from $100 to $1,000 and the results were of the same proportion. The ones who let loose last Monday were the luckiest. Those who hung on a few days this week did not make as much money. Now the same bunch of fellows are talking about buying a little wheat. BROKE BOTH ARMS IN FALL. Boy Was Sliding on Improvised Shoot the-Shoots. Leoti, Kan., Aug. 11. While playing on an improvised shoot-the-shoots Fay Cary fell, breaking both arms. Both members will heal rapidly, doctors say. and city office building. The call fol lowed a legnthy conference with former Mayor Rose of Kansas City, Kan., architect. The building, with out equipment, will cost about $20,000. Bids will bo opened September 2. ARREST HORSE THIEVES. Norton County and Colorado Was Easy for Gang. Norton, Kan., Aug. 11. An organ ized band of horse thieves have been very bold and done a very thriving business in western Kansas for several years, but a part of the outfit have now been arrested and are in jail in Denver. According to a local man In Norton he tells us that he gave a woman $65 for a horse last fall which he after wards sold to another party and which has afterwards-been identified as a horse stolen from Denver. The wom an is now in the' Denver jail. It Is estimated that 4 5 head of the Btolen horses-; from eastern Colorado and the city of Denver have been sold by the gang in Norton county within two years. For the past six months detectives have been working upon the case, and last week the sheriff of Arapahoe county was In Norton securing evidence. Several witnesses of this city went to Denver recently to testify in regard to the matter. Other counties in western Kansas are no doubt in the same shape. TYPHOID EPIDEMIC IN FT. SCOTT. Jail Delivery at Independence. Independence. Kan., Aug. 11. Three prisoners sawed out of the Montgomery county jail Saturday and escaped. They were last heard from at a point down the Verdigris going toward Coffeyville. It is believed that Coffeyville is their object point. All three had possible penitentiary sen tences ahead of them. It had been arranged for all the prisoners In the jail to get away but when the ring leaders saw daylight they decided not to wait for the other prisoners. Has Genuine Albino Colt. El'inwood.

Fox, one of Pawnee county's big wheat rais ers, has interested Pawnee county wheat men in treating their' seed wheat with a solution of vitriol in wa- j ter to prevent smut. Mr. Fox and i Bob and Dan Holmes have prevent ed smut in the crops for the past eight years by soaking the wheat just before j planing so that the solution drips from the wagon bed. About a pound of I vitriol is used for each 50 bushels of train. Raise Milk Prices in Holton. Hoyt, Kan., Aug. 11. On account of the drouth and resulting high price of feed, the price of milk has been raised 2 cents per quart. Milk has always been sold here for 5 cents a quart, but this week a number of the sellers of milk got together and raised the price to 7 cents. The new price will go into Extra Special (Tuesday Only) 8c 3c 24c Has Thirteen Cases Now and One Has Proven Fatal. Fort Scott, Aug. 11. Fort Scott has thirteen cases of typhoid fever at the present time a number that almost amounts to an epidemic of the dread ful scourge, and unless vigilance and precaution are exercised with dispatch, there will be a general spread of the disease, is the suggestion and fear of members of the medical fraternity. With the prevalent dry weather, low stage of streams, stagnant pools, and the disuse of sanitary methods, espe cially in those sections of the city that are not served with sewer facilities, typhoid is aggravated and lurks as an insidious foe to the health and safety of the households. Well water is chargeable to all but one of the thirteen cases. And all thirteen cases are in non-sewer dis tricts, where surface toilets are used. City water is used In one home that is afflicted. Three use well and city water and the rest use well water exclusively. MAYOR SUES EDITOR FOR LIBEL. Claims He Was Called Leader of Gang of Low Browed. Cut-Throats. Courtland. Kan., Aug. 11. Mayor A. B. Swift has brought suit in the district court of Republic county against R. Cameron, editor of the Courtland Register, for alleged libel. The case is the result of a town row which has been brewing in Courtland for years. Mr. Cameron is accused of publishing in his paper on or about June 20, last, a libelous article con taining among others, the following words: "As everyone knows we have' been obliged since coming here to fight for life against a low browed gang of unprincipled cut-throats, of which Swift is the leader, that has ever in fested a civilized community."
