HEWER PLAYS CRIPPLES Chicago or Illinois Be Elim inated From Western Race. Nebraska Meets Ames Mis souri Valley Watches Them. Chicago, Nov. 1. Chicago and Illinois, the two undefeated elevens of the Western intercollegiate conference met here today in their annual football clash to determine which team must drop from the championship race. Critics already have conceded that the winner of games will have substantial claims on the championship as both Wiscon sin and Minnesota have been defeated this season by nonconference teams. Although the down state team was considered a strong opponent, the Chi cago squad was the favorite when the game was called. Each team entered the fray content to win by any sized score. Both Coach Stagg of Chicago and Coach Zuppke of Illinois, sent their strongest players into the game. Both gridiron generals were expected to use new plays which have not been uncov ered. Coach Stagg predicted a hard game and a close score. Accompanied by 8,000 rooters. Coaci. Zuppke and his men arrived here ready to "fight for their lives." The Illinois declared their fear of Captain Nodgren's toe, although confident of victory. The Maroon was handicapped by the loss of Vruwink right end, who was ordered out of the game Thursday because of Illinois' protest that he was ineligible under the rules. Vruwink was regarded as one of Stagg-.' fastest men in the handling of the forward pass. Coxen Quits Aggie Team. Manhattan, Kan., Nov. 1. When the Kansas Agricultural college team lined up against Fairmount today, Coxen, star center, was missing, but the fact failed to shake the optimism of Coach Lowman, who relied upon Scanlon to fill the place and help win the expect ed victory. Coxen quit after laat night's practice, owing to a misunder standing with the coach. The Fair mount squad arrived from Wichita in prime condition. Columbia Cripples In Game. Columbia, Mo., Nov. 1. The varsity team of Columbia and the eleven from the Rolla School of Mines representing the two divisions of the Missouri. State university met in their annual football conflict on Rollins field here today. Normal Badly Crippled. Emporia, Kan.. Nov. 1.

While working in the wood carving department yesterday Charles Morgan, captain of the eleven, cut a deep gash in his hand and will not be able to play. Frankenberger will take his place. Coach Crispin announced that he had a hard task finding a team to take the place of the regulars. Ames to Meet Cornbuskers. Ames, la., Nov. 1 The Ames team wound up the week's grind for the Nebraska game here today with black board work last night. The squad is in bad condition, following the game with Missouri last Saturday, but the injured players will be available in an emergency. Wilson will start at right half. Uhl, the star fullback, crippled in the Missouri game, and out of drill this week, will start. It Is generally con ceded that Nebraska has the best chance to win. Minnesota and Wisconsin. Madison, Wis.. Nov. 1. Crowds un- surpassed at gridiron contests here were expected to see the game today between the elevens of Minnesota and HARVARD'S DEPENDABLE LEFT HALF. Bard ns4 r rz 1 Cooney of Yale. Wisconsin. Eighteen thousand seats had been sold in advance and every train last night and up to game time today brought scores more spectators. The fact that the University of Wis consin alumni were celebrating their annual "home coming" augmented the throngs. Neither coach was willing to predict that his men would do better than "hold tnem to a close score. PLAYER BREAKS LEG. ToHefson of Minnesota Team Suffers Painful Accident. Madison, Nov. 1. In the. second pe riod Tollefson, the Minnesota quar terback, was so badly hurt that he had to be carried from the field, It was reported one of his legs was broken.

Politics Repealed the Old Stubbs Law. WAS WORTH $250,000 A YEAR Other Berenue Measures Dont Come Up to Expectations. Gossip of the Hopes and Fears of Politicians Oyer State. Regardless of whether the Repub licans, Democrats or Progressives win the next state wide election in Kansas, an effort will be made to place a new inheritance tax law on the statute books. The law has been dead less than a year, but has been more sore ly missed than any revenue Droducing act enacted in a decade. Last winter the Kansas Democrats fulfilled a sacred platform promise by hitting the inheritance tax law on the head with an ax. But the Democrats had no sooner voted on- the bill than there was a howl of protest from the leaders of their own party. Even Governor Hodges and other adminis tration leaders wanted a safe, sane and sound inheritance tax law. But be fore anyone could organize the forces, the bill was in the morgue and the house and senate leaders did not take time to give the more or less unpop ular measure a decent burial. (Continued im Pago Two.) FOOTBALL!! EAST Interesting Contests, but None Approach Champion Stage. Intersectional Contests May Gauge Football Progress. New York, Nov. 1. Eastern foot ball fields will be the scene of some Interesting intercollegiate games to day, although none will rise to the plane of a championship contest. Con' sidered in a broad sense, however, the day's gridiron clashes are the most pretentious and promising of the sea son to date and. there is the added spice of not too remote possibilities of upsets and surprises. An added feature will be the staging of several intersectional games, through which it will be possible to gauge the foot ball progress and ability of some of the leading elevens of the east and middlewest. Harvard-Cornell contest.' So far as prestige is concerned, the Harvard-Cornell game at Cambridge stands forth as the leading eastern gridiron event of the day. That the contest will develop a sensational fea ture for the football week-end Is un likely: the undefeated crimson combin ation appears to stand superior to the invaders from the shores of Cayuga lake. Charles Brickley of Harvard. The Yale team will also face a wor thy opponent in the strong Colgate aggregation. The Eli eleven will have to play its best to win decisively. Princeton in playing Holy Cross will face a team already defeated by Har vard, 47 to 7. and Yale 10 to 0. For this reason, the game will appeal to those followers of football who persist in the idea that comparative scores form a safe basis for estimating the strength of rival elevens. That Prince ton should win is conceaea. Th name holds true of the Penn- sylvania-Penn state game, scheduled for Franklin tielcu me Kuanera bsyb snnn to settle, with their smaller rivals of somewhat similar name for the Penn staters nave maae iroume for the Philadelphia collegians in past years. Army-Notre Dame Contest. The United States Military academy team will act as a strenuous host to the Notre Dame eleven from the mid dle west today and some interesting and perhaps sensational football should result. The western brigade has- been playing a fast open game this season and has scored repeatedly by brilliant and complicated forward passes. In facing the Army on a dry field at West Point, the visitors will have an excellent opportunity to dis play the style of football popular in the middle west. In the Army they will find a team well versed in up-to- date eastern offensive and defensive tactics. For this reason, the test of the two' y stems will be awaited -with as much interest as the outcome of the Syracuse-Michigan game at Ann Arbor, which is also scheduled for de cision today. Tn the southern section or the east ern gridiron world two games of prominence stand out in tne uarnsie Georgetown contest ,at Washington and the Navy-Lehigh clash at Annap olis. Revengeful Quakers. Philadelphia, Nov. 1. The TJniver sity of Pennsylvania football team met Pennsylvania State college today. The Quakers were determined to get re venge for the victories achieved by State in 1911 and 1912. Both teams had been carefully coached for today's game. Princeton Changes Lineup. Princeton, Nov. '1. Princeton pre sented a changed lineup when the team appeared against holy Cross in the football game today on university field. Gllck was at quarterback while Law took the vacated halfback position. Sem- mons and W. Swart appeared at guard. Tne Princeton team was anxious to make a good showing against Holy Cross which had been defeated by Harvard, 47 to 7, -and by Yale 10 to 0." Yale's Hardest Contest. New Haven, Nov. 1. Yale and Col gate were opponents on the Yale grid iron today in what was conceded to be the hardest game on tho Ears sche dule so far this season. The New York state collegians came here with a fast. versatile eleven, confident- of at least crossing the blue's goal line a feat that has not -been' accomplished this year. FOOTBALL RESULTS.

Score Touchdown and Field Goal off Blue Fresbies 1st Half. The Topeka High School had the ball in Washburn's territory during the entire- time of the first period this afternoon but the quarter ended Without a score for either team. The-high school boys outplayed the Freshmen collegians and made repeated gains. The Freshmen had a good kicker in Stewart. His toe prevented the high school boys from scoring. The high school used the forward pass for long gains during the second period. This netted them a touchdown and made a-field goal possible. The Washburn freshmen did not appear to be in the same class with the high school boys. By working the forward pass. Sargent went over the line for a touchdown In less than five minutes' play. Willard kicked goal. Willard was successful in scoring a field goal near the end of the same quarter with a SO yard boot. His kicking is equal to that of 'Sam Stewart of the freshmen team. No Score Third Period. The third period ended with the freshmen in possession of the ball on the high school three-yard line. Both teams used the forward pass, line buck and end runs during the period but neither was able to score. The freshmen did considerable punting and were successful in overcoming tne play of the high- school in former periods. Stewart or tne iresnmen, outkicked Willard of the high school during the period. Ted Russell, Chicago's New Quarterback. VICE PRESIDEHT Thomas W. Marshall Ate Din ner- in Topeka Today. He's on His If ay to Phoenix to See Bela tires. A TWO WEEKS' YACATO That Is, if the Senate Dont Start to "Cutting Up. Talks Tariff and Currency Visited Kansas 1858. Expressing a hope that the senate would refrain from "cutting up" at least for the next two weeks while he took a little rest and recreation, Thos. W. Marshall, vice president of the United States, slipped into Topeka on Santa Fe train- No. 1 this afternoon. ate a hasty lunch at the Harvey house, and stole away again. His visit was unneraiaed to local supporters or tne Democratic faith. Thomas W. Marshall, Vice President, a Topeka Guest Today for a Hair nour. Vice President Marshall was not in a talkative mood over the national is sues. He paused between bites of cel ery, sips of soup, forkfuls of mince pie and swallows of coffee to volun teer the information that he ana Mrs. Marshall were on their way to Phoenix, Arix.. where Mrs. Marshall would visit her mother, who is in poor health. He said that it was his am bition to remain in Ansona at least two weeks. "If the senate will keen quiet and not cut up I think that I will be able to stay this long," he said, and he smiled as he looked over his dark rimmed glasses with his sharp clear blue eyes. Ijesson to Manufacturers. Mr. Marshall, in answering direct Questions n the real value of the tariff, took occasion to hint or tne possibilities of American manufactur ers. "For years we have heard the blow of the American manufacturers," he said. "We have been led to believe that they were the most wonderful In dustries in the world. Now that there have been changes in the tariff, we will be able to see extent of their wonders. They now have the world to compete with tneir field is unlimited. And how about the cry from the Pacific to the Atlantic the high cost of living?" the vice president was ask ed. A liberal piece of mince pie suffer ed a preliminary answer to this ques tion. When it had been thoroughly masticated, much to the -pride of A. B. C. Dutcher, manager of the Harvey House in Topeka, Vice President Mar shall again brought those piercing blue eyes into action: "The high cost of living Is a problem with any number of sides." he offered I nrmly believe that if it wasn't for the action taken in the beef industry. it would be only a short time before we paid 50 cents a pound for beef steak." Possibly Mrs. Marshall still retains her one time interest in the food neces sities of the household she shook her head in approval of her husband's words. Then he continued: "I hardly believe that the tariff will reduce the cost of most of our farm implements and by the way, do you Know tnat every year an Increased per centage of our population moves to the cities?" The reporter expressed surprise at the information, and questioned Mr. Mar shall further: "What high cost of living will be re duced?" weu, ne aiwwereu, -n win ce- crease tne cost or Duiuiing materials and clothing." Huerta Election Fraud. Vice President Marshall did not en thuse over the Mexican situation. He answered "I have not heard and "I don't know" to several queries until the election problem was reached. "What will the president think- or what does he think of the election in Mexico?" Mr. Marshall didn't tarry in his re ply to this question. "If Huerta is elected he will think ft is a fraud!" That ended the Mexican Investiga tion under the eaves of the Harvey house in Topeka. "And the currency plan?" he was asked. "I don't think there will be any trouble about its passage," the vice president stated. "There are several details to be worked out, but I think that it is simply a question of a short time" "Will the income tax, effective to day, draw out any strong .opposition over the country? "Oh. no. I hardly -think so I be lieve the income tax matter is settled with pretty general satifactton." The conversation, rather one-sided, to be sure, then drifted to Kansas H J Kansas man never misses the oppor tunity to either solicit or demand something good about his state. Here was Vice President Marshall's attitude: "Kansas? 1 Kansas? Well. well, well I was in Kansas long before you were born I will never forget the state. My grandfather lived in Oaa watomie in 1858 and although only a small child. I visited him there. Later I heard the harrowing details of the early state warfare near that town. I had two aunts living there they spent most of their time biding from the bands of bushwhackers that trav eled over that country. Yes, sir, I have heard and still hear" lota about Kansas. Of course you do not have to be reminded that Kansas went Democratic!" The vice president wore a gray suit, a gray hat of near rah-rah style and smoked about the blackest cigar that he could find in the Harvey tobacco ease. He paced back and forth across the platform, dodging In and out of three football teams gathered at the station. He is a man of rather small build, iron gray hair and mustache. "I usually -take the limited out to Phoenix,", he said, "but I was unable to secure passage immediately and I took No. 1. I like this system of eating at the Harvey stations, anyway. It gives me a chance to stretch my legs." Then he took a cloudy puff at his black cigar, swung on the Pullman platform with youthful vigor and waved his hand goodby. And not a Democrat in Topeka knew he was in tawn. IN IIAHDSOF KOB Indianapolis at Mercy of Strik- ing Street Car Hen, Police Are Unable to Protect the Company's Property. Indianapolis, Nov. 1. After I morning of rioting the street car com pany practically gave' up all efforts to operate cars at noon today. It was stated that an attempt to establish service would be made this afternoon when 500 strike breakers were expect ed to arrive from Chicago. The strike. which was started at 11 o'clock last night, was marked by continual riot ing in the downtown- district this morning. Motormeh and conductors were dragged from their cars and tak en to the unLn headquarters and reg- lsierea, trolleys were broken, trolley poles pulled off and the air which controlled the brakes, released from tne containers under the cars. There were several hundred strikers and sympathizers in the crowd and a number of boys aided their efforts to tie up the street car service. The po nce were uname to hold the crowd in check as It moved from one corner to another In the downtown district. A. repair truck eot out to fix a brok en trolley wire- was drawn- away' as soon as tne wire was pulled off of the street. The repair crew finally .gave up tne attempt ana reiurnea to the barns. Merchants. said business was at a standstill. Gompers's Explanation. Chicago, Nov. 1. Samuel Gomners. oresiaent or tne American Federa tion of Labor, declared here today tnat riots connectea witn the street car strike in Indianapolis are due to systematic efforts of the company to incite the men to violence. "A striking employee could not go into a restaurant to eat his lunch without being dogged and slurred and insulted beyond human endurance,' Mr. Gompers. "The riots in Indianapolis the com pany may charge to its own policy of intimidation.' WOMEN Oil PARADE. Thousands of Suffragists March Through Streets of Brooklyn. New York, Nov. 1. Suffragists of greater New York, reinforced by many out of town allies, marched two and a half miles through the streets of Brooklyn this afternoon, as a pre election demonstration of their strength. Seven thousand women and 1.500 men were assigned places in the line of march. Headed by an exact copy of the famous Liberty bell the tongue of tne copy tied and not to be released till women suffrage has be come general throughout the United States, the narade started from Grant square. The great bell was loaned by the Pennsylvania women suffrage party. Several hundred of the women pa- raders were on horseback. Mrs. Catt was one of these and was surrounded by a bevy of young women represent ing the various foreign countries where women have the vote. Another group of girls, clad in white, represented the states which have given women the ballot. ISSUES A VARIIIIIG. Postmaster General Calls Attention to Penalty Clause In Postal Law. Washington.

THE TOPEHA DAILY STATU JOTJEITA1V- SATURDAY VV UJ1U& TZOVTZTTZZtl, 1S13. 11 Hi FOUTIGAL GOSSIP. (Continued from Pegs On- There has been much lamentation in the state house regarding the loss of the Inheritance tax law and Its helpful revenue. Of course no one has spoken out loud about the matter, but there is a general feeling that the money formerly realized from the pro visions of the law, would plug up a good many holes in the patched con dition of the state's finance. Means $2S0,000 a Tear. When the law was killed it was Just beginning to return a. nice dividend to the state. It has been conservative ly estimated that the act was good for a quarter of a million dollars revenue each year to the state under provisions as were In force when the law was re pealed. And a quarter of a million dollars additional money in the state treasury just at this time would light en the hearts of the depressed Demo crats who realize that there is a hard year ahead under the 1913 tax levy in an effort to meet the bills which the legislature shouldered on the state. It wasn't the loss of the inheritance tax law alone that caused trouble. After this year the. corporation tax law will probably raise as much rev enue as did the repealed law. But several revenue producing bills which the Democratic legislature enacted, have failed to meet up with advance advertising. For Instance, there was the picture 111m censorship law. The state super intendent of public Instruction was given the responsibility of making the law a success or failure and ad ding new monies to the state fund. Bat just at the particular time that the legislature handed this honor .to Superintendent Ross, the superin tendent was of a peevish frame of mind and complaining of the iniqui ties of the school text book law and a reduced appropriation to his individ ual department. So Mr. Ross de clined to hasten to the rescue of the law and the act Is now tied up in complicated litigation and the state has realized none of the expected benefits. Then there was the sand bill. The sand people objected to paying roy alties and while some money has been received under provisions of the act, the new law has not done everything that was expected of it and suits pend ing in the courts may compel the state t6 return to the sand men all the money that has been collected. The corporation tax law, a Demo cratic measure, will probably produce $300,000 to $400,000 a year, but It does not become operative until next year and more funds are needed night now. Furnishes Democratic Defense. Action of the Democrats In repeal ing the inheritance tax law, however, has furnished one real, sure defense for the next campaign in reference to state finance. The law was de cidedly unpopular with the voters, especially in the rural districts. So, when the Democrats voted for its repeal, the action occasioned as much Joy as any move made by the present state administration. Of course the loss of the funds un tier the law has occasioned much em barrassment and more or less explan ation at the hands of the state admin istration. On the ether hand, the Democrats have perhaps unintention ally, reserved to themselves a defense for the next campaign. Even though it should be necessary to make a slight Increase in state .taxes next year and even though the Jeraocrats might be forced to admit that their campaign cry of "reduced taxes" was an ab surdity and impossibility, their action In killing off the inheritance tax law will cover a multitude of transgressions and perhaps save many votes to the cause. But while the Democrats are otter ing the repeal of the law as a defense, there is a demand among the leaders of all parties that the 1915 legislature enact a new inheritance tax law per haps not so' stringent as the old one but a law which will bring new revenue to the state. And under existing con ditions, It is quite probable that the vote on such a bill would not be con fined to strict party lines. So, after all, Kansas may not be Anally sttiieved from the operations of the old law.. P E. LaughUn, who last year made the racA fnr tat t..o an.. A Democratic ticket and reduced Karl MKrv majority to less than ,000, may be a candidate again next year al though he has said" nothing about It. Laughlln. who is aMarysvllle banker and popular all over the-First district, Is now first assistant under Bank Com missioner Charles M. Sawyer. It is nrobabla that If Tdihii race, he will make his announcement eariy wis winter. Plans for Progressive district meet ings In all parts of the state have been under consideration by National Com mitteeman William Allen White of Emporia. It is White's plan to arouse the fighting spirit in the Kansas BuU Moosers and to dispel any gloom that may exist since the defeat of Progres sive candidates in recent elections. Re cently the Second district Progressives held a meeting in Kansas City. But dates for meetings in other districts nave not been determined. SUte Treasurer Karl Akera this week boosts. Mrs. H. J.

Change in dates this year was made necessary through the Inability of William Jen nings Bryan to fill his speaking engage ment In Topeka In February.

AT THE GRAIID. "Sold out," said the man at the box office last night. The attraction was Lyman Howe's "movies" and the house was full. Lyman Howe doesn't need any recommendation or com mendation he rests en his own merits. That his pictures are always interesting goes without saying. Chil dren and grown-ups flock to the theater when "Howe's Travel Festi val" is advertised outside. Pictures of a rough sea at Monte Carlo were, perhaps, the .most enter taining. The wreck of the 8. S. "Ver onese" off the coast of Portugal was marvelouslv shown. The audience was given plenty of thrills by an Imag inary auto ride through the French Alps, an exciting trip through the Grand Canyon, and a "fly" in a hydro aeroplane over the French coast and the city of Paris. A lesson In the science of palmistry aet everyone to studying his hand. The ridiculous chalk pictures that always form a feature of Howe's pro grams were as amusing as ever. The program will be repeated this after noon and tonight. A new set of pic tures will return later in the season. Use of the "Herb" for Cure of Ulcers and Cancerous Growths Worshippers at the shrine of "My Lady Nicotine" and how many mil lions burn incense before her altar are not all aware of the origin of the word nicotine, or of the correct account of the awakening to the value of to bacco on the continent of Europe. Most of us are satisfied with the state ment that Sir Walter Raleigh intro duced the "weed" into England, and suppose that it spread thence all over Europe simply for smoking purposes. If we go back to an old Black Let ter volume dating from the year 1577 we gain a clearer view of the subject and Interesting light on the origin of the word nicotine as applied to the chief element in tobacco. According to this venerable authority, now more than 800 years old. Master John Nicot, counsellor to the king, being ambassa dor for the king in Portugal in the year of our Lord 1569, '60, '61, went one day to see the prisons of the king of Portugal, and a gentleman being the keeper of the said prisons presented him a herb, as a strange plant brought from Florida. This same Master Nicot, having caused the said herb to be set in his garden, where it grew and multiplied marvelously, was upon a time advised by one of his pages that a young man, some kin to that page, made a plaster of that herb bruised, both the herb and the juice together, upon an ulcer, which he had upon his cheek near his nose, coming of a noli me tangere. which had taken root already at the case of the nose, and that he found himself much easier at once. There fore the said Master Nicot caused he sick young man to be brought before him. causing the said herb to be ap plied to the sore eight or ten days, un til it was completely cured and healed. And he had it sent, while this cure was working, to a certain physician of the king of Portugal, the most famous in his time, to see the further working and effect of the said nicotiano. He then sent for the same young man at the end of the ten days and brought him before this physician that he might see how the herb had acted upoa the sore, and he certified that the said noil me tangere was indeed utterly ob literated, and, indeed, it never returned afterward. Some time after this one of the am bassador's cooks, having almost cut off his thumb, with a big chopping knllu, the steward of the house of this gen tleman ran to the said nicotiano and THE SUPERIOR SEX dressed his thumb therewith five- or six times, and It was finally thorough ly healed thereby. From that time on this herb was famous throughout all Lisbon, where the court of the king Of Portugal was held at that time, and the virtue of this herb was announc jd far and wide, and the people called It "the ambassador's herb." The London embassador, seeing that such beneficent effects were produced by this herb, and having heard that the Lady Montlgny that was had died at St. Germains of an ulcer on the breast, which had turned Into a noil me tangere. for which no remedy was known at that time, and .that the Countess of Ruffe had consulted all the famous physicians of that realm to help to heal her face, but that none of them had found any remedy, he thought It wise to communicate his good news to France and, therefore, sent to King Francis II-. and to the Queen Mother, telling them all about tobacco and how to use it, as well as how to apply it to this dread disease, as had been proved by experience. In this way we have evidence that tobacco was considered the cure for ulcers and even for cancerous growths, more than for smoking, and in this way the word nicotine Is to be traced to this ambassador John Nicot. New Tork Press. CHEAT f.:BI ABE KCT. Impersonal Chronicles Omit Traits Which link Them With Fellows. In spite of the saying that no man Is a hero to his own valet. Napoleon's man servant has given us a reverential ac count of his master from his own point of view, and now, simultaneously, there appear a life of King Edward by his chauffeur and a book about Cecil Rhodes by one of his seven private secretaries. King Edward was not a history maker In the accepted sense of the words, but a peacemaker, and the story of his life Is anecdotal rather than epic That even kings are not exempt from engine trouble and tire trouble and me rest of the ills that flesh is heir to Is seen in bis chauf feur's description. Here we have Cecil Rhodes as he was in life in fatigue uniform, as it were. When they told him that the Dutch in Africa were the salt of the earth, he re marked: Td like to know where I come In!" He was not unmindful of his own merits. "Creative genius, that's what I've got," he would say. "It's a great thing to have." But he was not of the number of those who do not recognise an Infinitely higher power than their own. "Let. a man be a buddist,' he declared. "Let him be a Mohommedan. let him be a Christian, or what you will; let him call himself what he likes, but if he does not believe In a Supreme Being he is no man he is no better than a dog." AH too soon the Impersonal chronicle of the era 1n which a stronc man dwelt, the era profoundly affected by his Indomita ble will and resolute, purpose, forgets those natural traits which link him with his fellows. We behold him larger than life and his "vast shadow glory-crowned." It is of peculiar interest to ordinary mor tals when he is restored to a-truer per spective in his relation to the universe, so that he is seen no longer as a demigod, but as a man. Philadelphia Public Ledger. RATHEiHlnjplTIAT? The Hallhoy at London Private School Had Little Time for Play. London A South London boy, with golden dreams of the future, recently answered an advertisement for the post of hallboy at a school for the "sons of gentlemen" at a resort near Brighton. He saw himself standing at his post with head erect and shoulders squared, dressed in a tight-fitting livery trimmed with many brass buttons, but his ardor was somewhat damped when he received the following list of duties which he would have to perform: You will be required, says the reply: To be an early riser, strong, active, and willing. To clean the boots (35 boys, head master and his wife, three masters, a mistress and housekeeper). To dean all windows regularly,-' To clean all basement passages and outside steps. To answer this front doorbell. To keep the classrooms swept aad polished. To clean all the knives, forks and spoons. To help with the lift at meals. To make yourself generally useful. He may not smoke on the premises, and his religion must be Church of England. He will have one evening each week from 6 till 10, and every second Sunday from 2:30 to 10. Ha will sleep cn the premises and receive for his services. In addition to his food, 12 a week. Chicago Inter-Ocean. Lays Divorce to Music. "One reason for the great number of divorces Is that women now go In for piano lessons and voice culture, but scorn plain sewing and cooking," said the Rev. G. H. Seers of this city, the first priest to be called to testify In divorce proceedings in this county. "If our girls knew how to cook meals and how to darn and mend their husbands would be more con tented. But not all the blame lies on the woman's shoulders. The small In comes of our workingmen and the high cost of living do much to swell the percentage of divorces,"- Father Seers declared. Cincinnati (Ohio) dispatch to New York Tribune.

L WHEAT Lower cable quotations with a bearish state report from Oklahoma deprived the wheat market today of support. Acreage in Oklahoma was estimated to have increased SO per cent and it was declared the crop was starting with the best prospect in years. Argentine advices, too, favored the selling side. The opening, which showed a dip of c to &c, was followed by an addi tional setback. The market seemed to have no power to rally. The close was weak, c to 0 e under last night. CORN Free selling on account of fine, weather made the corn market weak. Depression at Liverpool counted also against the bulls. Prices opened c to o off, rallied a little and then sank lower than before. Excellent cash demand helped, bring about some recovery. Kansas farmers were reported to be trading wheat for corn at even figures. The close was weak at a net loss of 34 c to 0c OATS Oats developed heaviness In eon sequence of the down turn by other grain. Offerings, however, were not extensive. PROVISIONS Provisions were easy, the result of weakness at the yards. First sales varied from last night's level to 6c decline, but the market afterward seemed disposed to become more steady.

Dan ttcuuK, an oia em ployee of the High ranch, is back home in Kansas once more. It was only through the generous ac tion of Carl High, his former employer, that McGulf was saved and finally brought back to Reno county, to make his home for the rest of his days at the High ranch in Troy townsmp. Mr. McGult was, years ago, manager of the Brown ranch, south or Hutchin son. Some 15 years ago he located in the interior portion of uia Mexico, en' gaging in ranching there. He had a lot of stock, cattle and horses and was well fixed. Then came the revolution with its gangs of bandits devastating the prop erty of Americans, mistreating ana too bine them, even murdering them. Last spring word reached Carl High that MeGuffs ranch had been raided, he had been robbed of all his property and was sick and penniless in an in terior town in Mexico. Mr. High promptly sent money to him to enable him to reach the United States and return home. Later the letter was returned, having never been delivered, and Mr. High became very anxious, fearing that Mc Gult had been killed. The matter was reported to Congressman Neeley who took it up with the government and a search was made for the old man through the federal state depart ment. McGuff was finally located at San Francisco, where he had been sent with other destitute fugitives from Mexico. He was penniless and sick. Mr. High at once sent him money and brought him home from San Francisco arriving here a few days ago. He is now at the High ranch, and he prob ably will spend the rest of his days there.

Erie, Kan., Nov. L No better evi dence of how a husband loved his wife during their married career, nor how he later cherished the memory of the helpmeet who died 12 years agp can be found than in the case of the late Martin Brewer here. Ornaments on the mantel in the Brewer home, the knives and forks resting on the family dining table. and every other article in the Brewer home remain Just as they had been placed by Mrs. Brewer before she was stricken with a fatal illness. Mrs. Brewer died 12 years ago. Be fore passing away she requested of the husband that he "leave the things the same as if I were here," and her last request was sacredly carried out to the letter. The top of the sewing machine is up Just as she left it when she was taken sick. The teakettle, pots and pans she had set on the kitchen stove still are there. No one has been al lowed to touch a single thing, in the house. After his wife's death Brewer lock ed the house. In all the time that has elapsed since then it has not been un locked. The old place possessed tender mem ories for Brewer and after the death of his wife he used to go there and sit on the front porch in the evening time, living over in his mind the days that had gone by. But he never went into the house. Everything there was Just as his wife had left it. Neighbors used to suggest to Brewer that he hire carpenters to fix up the house, and sell its effects he could not use. Everything in it for years has been deep covered with dust. The floors have sagged and hroken through. The paper hangs in strips from the walla "No, I don't believe I'll bother the place," Brewer replied. "I told mam ma ril let the things alone Just as she left them. That's the best way." The house and its owner seemed to slip downward with time together. As the building became more dilapidated Brewer begame more frail and infirm. When he sat on the porch on summer evenings it made a harmonious pic ture the husband devoted, just as he was when his wife died, the house Just the way she had left it. Brewer died recently. The house still stands locked. Not one would disturb it. The building is in what was the best residential district of Erie, but the city has grown away from it. The people know Its story, however, and for the pleace all seem to have a reverence. The houst was owned by Brewer when he died. No heirs have come to claim it. It stands 1 it always did. a silent monument to a husband's devotion. PASSES EUGENIC EXAMINATION Former Kansas Man First to Submit to Federal Test. Ottawa, Nov. 1. H. B.

QUEER EXPERIENCES OF DETECTIVES Sometimes, when a detective re tires a la Vidocq, he deigns to publish his memoirs and many previous im penetrable mysteries are solved. But the most interesting are by no means sensational. The local superintendent, H. W. Bearce, has retire 1, though not a la Vidocq, for he has retired merely as far as New York to help run things over there, which means that he is working harder than ever.' But such as it is, his retirement from Philadelphia activities induced him for the first time In his career to tell some stories of his experiences aa a detective; and fiction thus far hasn't equaled them. "We received a hurry call for help," said Dr. Bearce, "from the proprietor of a big summer resort in the moun tains. He wanted a detective, he wanted him quickly, and he wanted him badly. 'What is a detective needed for?' he was asked. 'Mosquitoes millions of 'em,' he answered. 'Send your mosquito ex pert quick.' "Well, of course, while we have a pretty fair variety of specialists, a de tective who makes his living by hunt ing mosquitoes is rather a rare speci men. The best we could do was to as sign some one who had some scientific knowledge, and, as I am a graduate In medicine, the Job fell to me. "When I reached the hotel I found It deserted by all its guests in the height of the season. They had fled by the hundreds. The proprietor was in a blue funk. Enormous expenses were going on, not a dollar was com ing in, and there wasn't a mosquito in sight. I felt sorry for him, but it looked a waste of money to keep me there. 'What do I care for your eight dol lars a day wages and eight dollars a day expenses?' he roared. 'Doggone it, this place has been alive with mos quitoes, and now it's dead with 'em. You sleep with a window open tonight then you'll know.' 'But I couldn't. I couldn't. I tried to. But when those giant mosquitoes came humming into my room in dense flocks I could only shut the window and fight them. The mosquitoes weie there all right. Next morning I en vied the guests who could afford to quit. 'Guess I'll have to stay,' I told the hotel man'. 'I'm going to prospect around a bit.' "I searched three days, covering a radius of miles. Not a stagnant pool could I discover. I had never seen a resort made by nature so completely immune iruui me pesi ui mosquitoes. "Now, when a man knows that any body or anything is trying to baffle him, money doesn't count. His pride rears right up, and he hates to quit. But It seemed to me there was noth ing else to do. I analyzed the situa tion. Was there any locality I had left unsearched? I could think of none except yes, by gracious, except the ho tel itself. I sent for the proprietor. 'You and I,' I said to him, 'are go ing to search your premises now; 'Do you imagine I'm raising those devilish mosquitoes myself?1. 1 don't know; but that's the only explanation that .remains. Come ahead.' "We went over the hotel inch oy inch, until at last we reached the roof. There, over half a dozen big barrels filled with stale water, the mosquitoes surged in clouds. 'Get netting quick r I yelled. "Within five minutes we had that scourge under control. The hotel man stood and gazed in profound disgust at the balked lady mosquitoes trying to break into the water. "'Well, confound it!' he exclaimed, 'I had those barrels brought up here and filled In case of fire, and forgot all about them. I haven't had a ray of Intelligence since then until I said to myself the only thing to do is hire a detective. Because of his diploma, a more curi ous and more difficult task was given Dr. Bearce in Chester. A big school there began to have its boys go down with typhoid by the score. Every in vestigation as to the sources of in fection failed. Finally the institution had a ray like the hotel man's. Dr. Bearce went to hunt for the invisible germs. He searched everywhere, and found the sanitation superb. The very town had its own special water supply with all private wells abolished. This' time he did resolve to give it up; but he stuck because additional cases of ty phoid developed. One afternoon, returning from a long, hard round, he saw at the foot of the hilly walk to the academy a sign in front of a store announcing Ice cold milk by the glass. He bought a glass. It was ice cold. He said so. 'You bet," rejoined the storekeeper, "and I've got the coldest and finest water in town, sir." Bearce pricked up his ears. "I'd like to see some of that," he re marked. "Come right out here. There's tlv only old-fashioned well in Chester. Why, the schoolboys, when they pass here, always beg a drink of that water; from me; and you bet they get it, too." Bearce admired the clearness of the water so much that the storekeeper readily presented him with enough tq uve-Euiion glass testing Jars, which went posthaste to the state chemist, and, on analysis, proved :o hold enough typhoid aerma tn km couple of regiments of veterans, much less schoolboys. The weU went out of business Immediately. "JbZ troub'e with detectives," contin ued Dr. Bearce, "is that we have a rooted antipathy for telling anything but successes. Now. when I was Tiun?" And he plunged into the story of the San Francisco, Nov. L More than 100 tons of Australia and New Zealand hntinr wmt on the market in San 'Francisco today.

The Frenchman proved a shrewd ad versary; stood on his dignity; swore he had Just arrived from Paris; demanded to know what the interrogatory meant: said the gold was his. and, as for the amount being In coin, why, it was a mere bagatelle. Just then, at the door, Bearce beard a cautious whistle, "Phwit-phwlt!" like a scared tomtit. His office assistant, face white and eyes bulging, was beckoning anxiously. He rose and went to the door. The assistant whispered: "That chump of ours has Just phoned from his apartments that he found his 1700 in his other pants." "I fled from that room, and that Frenchman," said Bearce, "as if I was Sursued by the whole detective force of Tew York, I'll bet he's wondering to this day what queer brand of lunatics Amer ica used to keep caged in the old Astor house." Hunting articles neither lost nor stolen is one of the banes of detective work all the worse because such mysteries don't turn up often enough to keep a man on the qui vive. But when Dr. Bearce came to Philadelphia he had the recollection of that $700 lively In his mind. So. when a prominent local busi ness man told him that a $2,000 brooch had disappeared from the lace collar of the prominent business man's wife's dress at the horse show, he insisted on seeing her whole wardrobe. She became In censed. "You presume." she said. "I know my wardrobe perfectly. I have gone over it a.1. I know the brooch isn't there." "Madame," Dr. Bearce rejoined. "I don't want to know what you know. It is what I know that will count." "Isn't he a brute?" she asked her hus band, who may not have agreed with her, but, as a dutiful spouse, looked doubtful. Rebuffed by the very person who should have helped him, and scrupulously in sisting that the responsibility for results must rest on the lady's shoulders, Dr. Bearce, for four days, did precisely what sne and her husband demanded that he do assigned detectivea to search the show grounds minutely, as If they were after a needle in a haystack. The men got tired, and so did he. He went to the lady. "i said It was unlikely that such a needle-ln-a-haystack hunt would find your brooch, even If it fell in the show grounds," he told her. "I have spent too much, of our time and your money fruit lessly. Unless I have your permission to go over all your gowns myself I shall drop the case." This time she had some doubts about his brutality. So she haughtily told him ho Tnii-Vifr dn aa he nleased. And when he held up the fourth gown with which si.e might have worn her precious brooch) there It was in her collar. "But, mind you, not always successes," added Dr. Bearce. "A man came to- me and held out half an egg shell filled with greenish liquid. 'It's poison,' he said. He was sure some one was putting poison In his morning coffee.

But he did arrange to go to the man's apartments and examine his clothing. Meanwhile, he rushed a couple of detectives to the various money brokers to nail any one seeking to ex change that sum of French gold. Only a few minutes elapsed before one of the detectives phoned in: "Fellow at this broker's trying to sell 9GS0 in French gold. Shall I hold him?" "Certainly," answered Bearce. "Don't arrest, but get him to come to the Astor bouse. I'll hire a room there." He hurried to the Astor house, secured a room, and was ready for the suspect, when he was brouorht In. He waa a Frenchman, and he had the S0 in French heart talk with his wife; told her that the attempt to poison him had been dis covered, and declared that any future at tempt would mean hanging for the poisoner.

The Topeka Commercial club has mapped out some Important work for the fall and winter season. Several spe cial committees will be appointed soon to handle club projects. Announcement Of club plans was made today. H. M. Cottrell. agricultural commis sioner of the Rock Island system, has been invited to address the members of the club on the question of more in tensified farming: in the Kaw valley. The farmers and the general public will be invited to attend this meeting:. An nouncements relative to the address will be made as soon as an acceptance Is received. After this meeting is held and a general interest has been aroused in the possibilities in scientific cultiva tion of the soil, a committee will be ap pointed with a vew to mappng out a plan for the more intensive cultivation of the land around Topeka. Appoint Special Committee. A committee will be appointed to dis cuss the relative merits of two bills pending in the United States senate touching upon the flood situation of the country and the conservation of waters. The Randall-Humphreys bill contem plates the improvement of the Missis siDDi river basin and calls for the ex- (penditure of $60,000,000 in a period of !flve yeirs. The Newlands bill incudes the improvement of all river basins of the United States in its provisions. It also contemplates the conservation of flood and headwaters. It calls for an expenditure of $60,000,000 annually for ten years. Ten million dollars or tne amount is to be spent in the Missouri river basin according to the terms ot the bill, and if the bill should be passed large reservoirs will be constructed. This would be of great value to the DeoDle alone the Kaw and would make possible the construction at Topeka ot a hydro-electric dam. Take In the Suburbs. A committee will be appointed to handle the question of taking into the Jelly outlying residence sections. Of Ithis undertaking the current issue of the Commercial Club Bulletin has tne following to say: "Here Is what the city is facing tne proposition of taking over the addi tions and bordering villages. Other cities in the country are doing it To fpeka has a chance to include prosper ous communities in her boundaries ana an opportunity to boost '.he population by federal census far above the 60,000 mark. !"For instance, on tne east of Topeka is Oakland, an incorporated lively lit- ftle city of the second class. Oakland is jrcally a part if Topeka. Street car (lines connect, the two towns and the streets run parallel. Oakland's only j flre protection Is received from a sta "tlon of the Topeka flre department. .Topeka should have Oakland. The n r ra n.nnl 1 V. ln,aa a. .Ua advantages of a water supply and city electric lights would be in favor of the village residents. "Other valuable additions would be Highland Park, Garfield Place and Col lege Hill addition. "Pull together now for Greater To peka!" Series of Noonday Addresses. This season it is the plan of J. Will Kelley, secretary of the club, to ar t range for a series of noonday ad- dresses by prominent Topekans or Kansans on topics of general interest. Many valuable suggestions will un doubtedly be made in these talks that j will be of service in the work of mak llng Topeka a better city in which to live. "Topeka is always looking for sometmng oerxer, says the Commer cial Club Bulletin. "The city Is wil ling to adopt any reform that will be of advantage to citizens and to com mercial life. The opportunities for industrial advancement never were better and cannot be excelled by any city in xne west, xne opportunities for the farmer, the stock raiser, the business man and the city official are equally opportune at this time. "The noonday talks undoubtedly will reveal a large number of nrae- tical schemes toward the building of a Digger ana Detter xopeka." One of the talks suggested by See. retary Kelley, and which will be given soon, will be one on the new cur rency bill. For Factory Promotion. Through the promotion committee of the club it is hoped that some e-ood factories will be brought to Topeka in tne next tew montns and it is ex- f pected that aid wil" be given small local firms of merit. It has taken a long time to work out a safe and adequate plan for factory aid, but the preliminary work has been ac j complished, and now the committee is In a position to accomplish results, i Sometimes de man who kin m fur i enufl ahead ter tell whar de road forks dunno wnicn roaa ter take we en he gits aarAuinui vonauiuuun.

Senators Bacon of Georgia, Simmons of North Carolina and Suth erland of Utah are known to those who frequent the senate galleries, but not to the man on the rtreet. Senator Overman o North Caro lina, because of his distinguished presence; Senator La Follette of Wis consin, with fighting gray-blue eyes and a militant pompadour; Senator Thomas Gore, the blind senator from Oklahoma; Senator Martine of New Jersey, who spends much time on the streets conversing with people; Sena tor "Gum-shoe Bill" Stone of Mis souri, and Senator John Sharp Wil liams of Mississippi are familiar per sonages. Ollle James a Pet. Because of his great size and his habit of wearing an overcoat thrown loosely over his back, Senator Ollie James of Kentucky is one of the pets of Washington residents. The man or woman who walks the streets of the capital or strolls in the parks about the District of Columbia is lia ble to meet Senator James at any time in the road. In the summer evenings, when others are fanning for relief, he and Representative Tom Heflin of Alabama get in a "lew-necked" hack and tell the driver to drive through the speedway and other cooling drives about the town.

But he isso much like his pictures, which show a luxuriant growth of beard, that anybody will recognize him when he passes in the street. Some clever politicians who are known to everybody "back home" move about Washington quietly and constantly without beinn taken for a popular son sresoman. Senators Martin of Virginia. Robinson of Arkansas, Chilton of V.';si Virginia. Gronna of North Dakota, War ren of Wyoming, and Thornton of Louis iana, swing on to a street car or jostle through a crowd without ever being sus pected of representing, states in the United States senate. Senator Martine carries his hat by his side, swinging near the knee, and It Is said of him that he never puts it on until he starts up the steps of his apartment. He is one of the best liked men in con gress, and is extremely popular with all whom he comes in contact, socially or otherwise. y Partial to Freckles. Senator Robinson looks the part of the friend of the people of Arkansas. His hobby is the freckle-faced boy. No urchin it. TaTu.ta the p' with freckles gets by Senator Robinson without a word of cheer. "My face was one solid freckle when I was a lad," said he to a friend in the senate one day, "and I was discouraged until a traveling man came along and told me that he had been all over the world, but had never seen a freckle-faced fool or a red-headed tramp. I took courage. I try to encourage boys with freckles." Senator Vardaman, one of long hair, wears white unless it is snowing. He al ways looks as if he Just stepped out of a bandbox. No one appeals to him in vain. He is ever ready to give time to the man, woman or child who has a tale to unfold. Sometimes between the senate office building and the eapltol he is ac costed a dozen times. If the person ap proaching be a woman, off comes the large brimmed black hat. Representative Carter Glass of Virginia, chairman of the house committee on bank ing and currency, is not a large man, but down in the Old Dominion he is known as a fighting man. "The chap who picks a quarrel with Carter Glass would be fool enough to take a strange dog by the ears; one of the things warned against in the Bible," is a saying in Virginia. Mr. Glass has cardinal locks and freckles. He is said to be the quietest man In the bouse un til somebody "riles" him. L. WILLIAM THA VIS. BE NIGHTY HOST, "Continued from Page On.

This is especially true when a person la sit ting.

A cold caught in the autumn Is liable to last through the entire win ter. Great caution should be observed at this season against exposure to cold.

Although this sign has been installed for some time and has at tracted much favorable comment from out of town visitors it has never been lighted at night.

At the office of the utilities com mission In the state house, it is not known whether other orders are to be issued in the shakeup of the Missis sippi river rates, or whether the tar iffs will stand as now quoted. Topeka will be greatly benefited by the new freight rates. In fact the benefit to this town will be greater than to any other Kansas city asking for relief from the bid schedules. Cotton piece goods rates to Topeka were reduced nine cents, or from 64 to 55 cents, while reductions to other towns is but 6 cents. Coffee rates to Topeka are cut from 32 to 26 cents, or four cents more than any other towns. Wichita, Salina and Hutchinson received but a two cent reduction on coffee While other towns enjoy but a two cent reduction on canned goods, the Topeka rate was trimmed 7 cents, or from 32 to 25 cents.

Ira Mayhall. charged with malicious murder of his wife, appeared In the dis trict court this morning to receive sen tence. .Jayhall was recently adjudged a paranoiac by a commission appointed to pass on his sanity. The court ruled that he be detained In the asylum for the dan gerously insane at Lansing, and remain there until he be judged mentally able to Stand trial. The appointment of the commission and the subsequent sentence come under the provisions of a new state law which, according to attorneys inter ested in the case, la peculiar. They be lieve that few men sentenced to the peni tentiary for the criminally insane will ever be returned to the court room for trial. May hall was brought from the county jail by Jailer Bundy.

LIE ELEVE! KDS CF CD According to Scientists There .Are v Many Degrees of Sanity. The normal man is by no means fixed Quantity or nualitv. The scientists show us that there are many degrees of sanity, and that the ab normal may run above or below what we call the ordinary men and women. xrar tne purpose of study no less, than- eleven "Orders of Brain" have been laid down, and every one of us belongs to one of these classes. i The largest class of all is the aver-1 age man. constituting four fifths of the population, in round figures some 72,000,000 of the 92,000,000 popula tion of the United States in 1910, when the last census was taken. In this class are the laborers, the traders, manufacturers, the great middle class, which is the mental, moral and physi cal backbone of the community, for it is always normal, never loses its sense of perspective, and, while conserva tive, is safe. It progresses slowly, but steadily, but it does progress and its voice is always right, or, as we put it, "The voice of the people Is the voice of God." Especially in the United States do we believe In the' common people and Europe has ar rived at the same conclusion. The next order of men are those showing marked talent in every direc tion, and there are probably 8,000,000 of these in the United States. They "have more brains," we say, and they show them by greater initiative and keener insight. To this class belong the social and political leaders, the professors, the heads of large con cerns, great executive heads. Then comes the lesser genius, prob ably 100,000 in the United States, who is full of originality and ideas, often impracticable, but really supplying those of the second order with the ideas out of which they make for tunes. He scorns these "practical" men and they return the compliment, but help themselves to his .ideas. The real genius comes next, and these are possibly one out of a million the Edisons, Bells, Westinghouses. He is at the to'p of the scale of men tality, and Is altogether inexplicable. But he stands supreme. We now go down the scale and find a class equal in number to the lesser genius, probably 200.000. which in cludes the cranks, the markedly ec centric, even the anarchist. He is Just verging upon the irresponsible, for. while considered liable by the law, he permits his ideas to run away with him, and often comes under condem nation by the law. This class are un conventional, a trial to their friends and may do either good or harm, as conditions permit. The sixth order of mind is a large one. There are probably 8,000.000 of our citizens, men and women, below the average in intellect and will power. Under the best conditions they may be redeemed and become useful members of society, but. left to themselves, as is usually the case, they recruit the ranks of the tramps, the paupers and even drift into the lower criminal class. The men and women of this order actually need human help and suggestion, and with sym pathy may be saved. The next five classes are considered not really sane before the law, but the unsoundness of mind in them is grad ed, although the law does not always act in accord with science In their treatment. There is brain defect or brain disease in all of them. Those belonging to the seventh class are men and women who have occa sional attacks of mental unsoundness. but with proper medical care can be saved and brought into one of the higher classes. They may be clever and capable of doing good work be tween attacks, and when cured. There are at least 200,000 of these in the United States, many belonging to the poorer classes and therefore most lia ble not to receive proper medical care. The eighth class are much like the preceding, but the mental trouble is more deep-seated, often hereditary. They are frequently incurable. The scientists call tnese cases "aaoiesceni insanity." There are as many In this class as in the preceding, but they are not so hopeful. One four hundredth of the population fall into this order of defective brain. The ninth class are the epileptics, who are such from a real disease of the brain. Many are able to work more or less between attacks, but at their worst they are totally issesponsi ble and dangerous. The congenitally weak-minded form the next lower order of mind, number ing at 250,000 in the United States. They may be able to do simple work, but reallv reauire special care either in state or private Institutions. It seems a pity, but one out of every 350 of the noDulation falls in this class. The lowest class of mental defectives la that of the worst congenital lm beciles and the idiots who are entirely helpless, mindless and usually un trainable. They are a dead loss to society and only a drag upon thenr unfortunae relatives. Fortunately only about one in every 1,100 belongs to this class, making the total for the United States about 80.000. although these fieures are only approximate. The law of averages is remarkably proved in the classification of orders of mind, and if an investigation is made in any community it will be found that one out of every hundred belongs to some one of the last five classes of irresponsible human beings. Science is trying in every way to de crease this average, by giving proper treatment to the savable and by pre venting the multiplication of other o fectlves, especially epileptics, known to transfer their defect to their pro geny.

Most barbarians, judged by mod ern standards, were anything but cleanly In their personal habits. In England, France and Germany bath ing was an almost unknown custom until after the Crusades. The pil grims from the east brought home with them- Ideas of the bath as help in the treatment of disease, and bath rooms were gradually introduced into the hospitals. From the hospitals the Ideas of bathing spread generally. People who had been treated there saw the value of keeping the body clean in order to resist disease. The great plague that swept over Europe in the early years of the' fourteenth century helped to teach this lesson. By the fifteenth century there was scarcely a large city that did not pos sess well patronized public bathing es tablishments, although it was not un til the seventeenth century that the Turkish bath was Introduced, and not until the eighteenth century that fea bathing, so common among the American Indians, was tried experi mentally.

The Treasury Department Is sues Further Regulations. HAS A LAWSUIT 13 EVERY LKiE It the Opinion of a Large Num ber of Senators. Wall Street Is Greatly Dis turbed by the Situation. Washington. Nov. 1. The Income tax. the most revolutionary revenue raising power conferred on the Amer ican government since its foundation, tarts today on the path that is to bring millions into the public treasury- Although an income tax has been agitated for many years and its existence was assured by an amend ment to the constitution, agreed to by tho necessary number of states early last spring, its collection by a govern ment which has not tried It, will strain the resources of the fertile minds in the treasury department and will be accompanied. It is not doubted here, with a thousand complications not now foreseen. Since the administration began framing an Income tax law, the talk has gone the rounds in Washington that it would lead to many fights in the courts and as the tariff bill pro greased through the senate many a senator quietly expressed the view that every line of the Income tax pro vision was subject for a lawsuit. The operation of the law today af fects only banks, corporations and others responsible for payment on bonds, mortgages, salaries, etc. For such part as they are bound by the law they must withhold "at the source." The amounts so withheld are not payable immediately to the treasury and the money from the tax will not begin flowing Into the treas ury vaults for many months. The tax for 1913 is to be collected from March 1, shortly after the constitutional amendment was ratified, until Decem ber 81. Withholding agents, however, must begin deducting the normal tax of 1 per cent at the source today, withholding it for November and De cember, with certain exceptions. The Individual reporting upon his own in come of more than S3. 000 a yeai a year makes his return to the collector of internal revenue in his district next March. Light From the Treasury. The treasury department has issued further regulations affecting collec tions at the source of income. Its synopsis follows: "Normal tax of 1 per cent is to be withheld at the source where the in come originates. "All persons, firms, organiaztions, etc., having the receipt, custody, dis posal or payment of any annual in come profits or gains required to withhold tax except as exempt by law. "The following income is exempt from normal tax of 1 per cent with held at source: "Dividends on capital stock or from the net earnings of corporations and like organizations that pay the nor mal tax of 1 per cent on net income. "Proceeds from life insurance con tracts, except annual interest pay ments in excess of S3, 000. "Income of individuals which is not fixed or certain, such as income of farmers, merchants, agents compen sated on commission basis, lawyers, doctors, authors, inventors and other professional persons, with no fixed annual income. "The value of property acquired by gift, bequest or descent. "Interest on the obligations of the United States or its possessions, or a state or any political subdivision thereof. Salary of president and fed eral judges. All salaries paid by a state, county or municipality, includ ing salaries of public school teachers. "The normal tax not to be withheld until such time as the total payments of an annual income exceeds S3, 000, then the tax is required to be with held on the amounts of the total pay ments, unless claim for exemption is filed with withholding agent. "Withholding agent not required to withhold the normal tax of 1 per cent until on or after November l and then only on amounts accruing on and after November 1, 1913, when in ex cess of S3, 000. "Persons subject to the normal tax of 1 per cent when absent from the United States or physically unable to make returns required by law, may, under certain conditions, appoint agents to act for them. "The penalty for false or fraudulent returns of statements with intent to defeat or evade the. tax is a fine of not exceeding S2.000 or imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both."

Jon keer John Loudon, who has Just been appointed by Queen Wilhelmina as minister of foreign affairs of Holland, for the past five years has represent ed his country at Washington, One of the most important questions that wiU come before him in his new position will be the arrangement of a treaty between Holland and the United State to safeguard the Dutch possessions of lengthy conferences which have been held every evening this week af ter business hours. The object of all these conferences was the income tax law. "We are swimming in mud," said one of these officers, expressively. "For a day or two I thought I myself was coming to know what was meant by the income tax law and the treas ury regulations concerning it, but now I am convinced that I hardly know anything about them and my fellow officers know less." The Source of Trouble. The source of trouble is that portion of the law which provides for the col lection "at the source" of the tax on income derived from interest on bonds. tions. Banks and corporations are re quired to withhold this tax in making payments of interests due to holders in securities. More than S80.000.000 is due today in November Interest pay ments in New York. The ruling in question has given rise to endless confusion. In cases in which bonds are not registered the names of their owners often are not known to the banks or fiscal agents to whom coupons are presented for pay ment. The identity of -the owners must be established to determine whether the tax is to be deducted. Certain exemptions have been defined. Every lawyer and bank officer In New York has life made a burden by clients who wish to know If the six forms of exemption apply to their par ticular cases. There are no prece dents to apply. No system has yet been evolved whereby banks and other agencies which are called upon to make bond interest payment wUl be able to determine in what cases deduct the income tax. to "I AM THAT I.

During the hush that immediately fell over the room, Caleb Powers, a student sitting in the front row, rose to his feet, with perfect composure and in a clear voice said: "I am that man, doctor; I was not guilty."

The first theatrical booking for next week is Billy Clifford In a new farce, "Ex cuse Me." The second number on the Radcllffe series, Maud Powell, violin ist, is booked for November 7. Neil O'Brien, whose company is entertain ing to lovers of minstrelsy, appears at the Grand next Saturday. The merits of Lyman H. Howe's Travel Festival which will be present ed at the Grand tonight for the last time are well established. Only by means of pictures can the great ma jority, who cannot afford the time and expense of travel, realize the pleasures and reap the advantages that are to be derived from visits to foreign climes. Billy (Single) Clifford in "Believe Me," his new musical satire, will be seen at the Grand next Tuesday night. This piece is the latest style, and an entertainment of the highest class. Vke foundation Is farce, full of com plications and ludicrous predica ments. To this is added a dozen pop ular songs and a company of prettily gowned young women, who can sing and dance. Billy Clifford, who is starring in the piece. Is too well known to need any introduction. In his present vehicle he has a role that fits his personality to a nicety. The story has to do with a young man In quest of a wife whose father is a Ger man and wants his daughter to marry into the nobility. There are all sorts of funny predicaments and all sorts of trouble before the plot is Anally untangled. Mr. Clifford is seen as the young Englishman. Maud Powell, eminent violinist, will give a recital on Friday, Nov. 7, at four o'clock at the Grand opera house under the auspices of Miss Myrtle Radcliffe. Madame Powell believes in an all round development of mind and body :Sr AM. r V INCH Or DEATH WHCN for the musician, and her own life bears out the theory admirably. She believes that a thorough grounding in history, literature, poetry, the fine arts in general and a lively Interest in the everyday affairs of life are ab solutely necessary for a proper per spective. And perspective she con siders one of the first requisites of genuine musical interpretation. Be sides being a thorough student along all avenues of culture, the distin guished violinist is an enthusiastic automobile driver, loves nothing bet ter than motor boating, and has late ly become interested in golf. Madame Powell appears as the second attrac tion of the Radcliffe Concert Series. With a wealth of new scenery, cost ly wardrobes, light effects, and all new accessories,, and with an organiza tion of many fresh faces and novel special features, America's favorite minstrel comedian. Neil O'Brien, and his "Great American Minstrels," will be the attraction at the Grand Novem ber 8. This is Mr. O'Brien's second season at the head of his own com pany. Last year, his first as a star, firmly established this popular min strel and his company as one of the country's standard attractions, and en listed to his clientele all lovers of clean, wholesome, genuine minstrelsy. This season Mr. O'Brien has deter mined to add to the fame already se cured and give his admirers a minstrel entertainment even more elaborate and, if it is possible, more enjoyable than his great show of last year. Mr. O'Brien's company this year includes several members retained from last season who made pronounced hits, notable among them are Eddie Ma zier, by many considered the peer of all endmen: Pete Detzel, Major Nowak, Al Fontaine, Walter Lindsey, Georgie Hagen, the boy singers, and Doran and Strong. Among the new principals are Eddie Ross, by many considered the greatest of all monolo gits, whose big hit in London the past mmmmmmmimmmmmm illlllilliiim ipiliiiiiilisilii yy yj!.!

The orchestra of fourteen selected musician will be handled by Frank Fuhrer. "Madame X," that great mother love drama with Miss Alice De Lane and Boyd B. Trousdale in the leading roles, will be the attraction at the Grand theater on November 11. Jacqueline, the wife of Louis Floriot, driven from her home of luxury be cause she foolishly left her husband for another man, repents and comes back, but Floriot relentlessly orders her out of the house, keeping their young son, Ramond, with him. A scene, twenty years later, shows Jacqueline living as a miserable woman, compelled to seek forgetf ulness in the use of opiates and drugs. Laroque, an adventurer, with whom she is living, enters on a scheme with two others to blackmail her hus band, a clew to his identity having been found by them. Rather than have her son learn of the infamy of his mother in a quarrel with Laroque, she kills him and for the crime is ar rested and placed in jail, and is after wards given a trial. Ramond, her own son, defends her. Recognition comes in the last act, the great court room scene. His eloquent plea to the jury save the woman, but not her life. She asks for forgiveness and obtains it, but fate to .punish her grants only a few moments of a wrecked life. An unusual musical event will be the performance at the Grand on Saturday, November 15, when local theater-goers will have their first opportunity to en joy the captivating music of last year's New Tork success, "The Rose Maid." This delightful operetta had the rec ord of an all summer's run on Bread-way- when its "catchy" numbers took the town by storm. "The Rose Maid" opens with a gay dance, switches to a series of haunting melodies, and from time to time be tween the laughable comedy scenes, there are introduced waltzes, tango and turkey trotting gallops until the ob server is at a loss to say which of the attractive numbers is his favorite. The "Rose Song" is said to have sold nearly a million copies throughout the United States and Canada during the first six months of the opera's run at the Globe theater, New Tork city. In "Officer 666," which appears at the Grand November 27. Augustin Mac Hugh has made his characters fit the lightning like rapidity of the play's ac tion. The wealth of incident, comic, tragic, pathetic and melodramatic, is scattered through the three acts with lavish prodigality by the hero who loves at first sight, defends his home, foils the villain and wins the lovely girl, who is the booty coveted more than the priceless paintings the mas querading thief attempts to steal. These central figures are aided and abetted by loyal friends, whose devo tion, not always Judiciously shown. In volves them In apparently hopeless tan gles which, about to be lighted, are suddenly and unexpectedly thrown into still greater confusion. The nine reel production of the fa mous feature picture. "Les Miserables," will be presented at the Grand the week of November 17. The Edison "Talkies" will return to the Grand for a two days' stay com mencing November 24, with an entire change of program. George M. Cohan's successful farce, "Broadway Jones," will come to the Grand November 26. The Novelty. The management has exercised much care In selecting the vaudeville pro gram to be shown the first three days aC next week at the Novelty theater. The Jean King quartette is sure to prove popular. The Ed Gingrass com pany are marvelous equilibrists and cannon ball jugglers. Milton, the "wiz ard of the one-string violin," has an up-to-the-minute monologue. Hunter and Ross, booked as "500 pounds of comedy" have entertained in America, England, Ireland and Scotland. Deaves' manikins will make their first bow to Topeka from a miniature stage. The entire program will change on Thurs day as usual. The Orpheum. What the management promises is an "all-star" bill will be shown next week at the Orpheum, the attractive new theater on West Eighth street. The Delands, who specialize in trans parent picture painting, make their first appearance in Topeka. Mae Francis, singing comedienne, and Jack Levy, with three symphony girls, are two other bookings. Walter Daniel and company have a novelty character sketch an actor rehearsing before play. It is sure to be amusing. The bill concludes with acrobatic stunts performed by the "Great Weber Fam Ur," recently with Ringlings circus. The program changes on Thursday. ON OTHER STAGES Gaby Deslys Shocks the Bishop of Kensington. j Mizzi Hajos Is to Appear m YandeTille. bound "by the vows of the white sis terhood. Jack Marvin; newly engaged lead ing man, will appear as Captain Severi, In love with Gio vanna, the white sister, whose part will be taken by Miss Genevieve Rus sell. Miss Winchester is cast as the Countess Chiaromonte, madly in love with the young officer. The role of Saracinesca, well known to lovers of the books by the late Mr. Crawford, will be taken by Mr. North. The base of the plot is exceedingly dramatic About is woven a play of high interest and strength. Special scenery has been painted by the Majestic artist, Hugo J. Miller, who has worked early and late on his high platform at the Grand. When John Drew concludes his fall season at the Empire theater, three weeks from now, he -will be followed by Ethel Barrymore. She is to appear. as has already been announced, in Tante, by C. Haddon Chambers. That playwright already has one comedy, The Tyranny of Tears, In the theater with John Drew as the star. The 24 women appointed as an unoffi cial board of censorship witnessed a performance of "The Fight' at the Hudson theater in New York last Tues day night. Miss Mary Garret Hay. chairman of the woman's suffrage party, says: "The play in its present form is certainly unobjectionable." Gabv Deslys and Alfred Butt upon one side and the bishop of Kensington, with a number of clergymen, on tne other are indulging in a verbal battle royal over the moralities and the al leged immoralities of Gaby's dressing room scene in "A la Carte," Jier new sketch which has been running for two months at the Palace theater, London. The sketch was licensed by the lord chamberlain and no one was shocked by it until the bishop of Kensington went to the Palace one night and nearly fainted as a result of the shock he says he sustained by witnessing Gaby's dance and her disrobing in her dress ing room scene. Gaby says that the reverend bishop must have eaten too much Yorkshire pudding with his "r-r-roast bit" that night and indulged in a glass too much of port wine, and that indigestion caused the shock and the fainting fit, and not her sketch. The bishop says that Gaby is decid edly "naughty," a menace to the morals of the masculine portion of the com munity and several other things. Al fred Butt says that the bishop Is an old prude, and he refuses to change a single line or situation in the sketch Most unusual interest centers in the first vaudeville appearance of little Mizzie Hajos at the Palace theater. New York. Since her arrival in this country, about two years ago, this charming Hungarian girl has steadily advanced in her art, until today she stands as one of the most promising prima donnas of the lyric stage. Her offering this coming week will be a one-act operetta lasting about 30 min utes, called "Queen Anne," and assist ing her will be Wallace McCutcheon, with a company of 24 players, mostly girls. Mizzi Hajos sang the title role in The Spring Maid" in Topeka two years ago. Her recent appearance In DeKoven's "Her Little Highness." adapted from "Such a Little Queen," was not successful. She received per sonal commendation, but the opera was considered dull. Rosalind, the Rarrln nlnv in bM.i, Maude Adams will be seen in New York in December, has been pre sented to Miss Adams by the author. The play was recently sold by Mr. Barrie to Francois de Croisset for Paris production, but being unable to agree wun tne rencn manager upon the manner of staging, he bought back the rights and gave them to Miss Adams. Miss Adams was in Topeka last spring in "Peter Pan."

For farther tataraBtlajt ell EDDYTORIUL ON THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING Bingville folks don't seem to realize the value of advertising be cuz if they did we would of had a good eal more advertising in the Bugle during the recent past than we have. Advertising pays and pays big, especially in the Bugle, whitch has the biggest only drculashion in tins end of the county being as we be the only newspaper in this end of the county and therefore com peteshion is impossible. The Bugle generally has at least 1 col. of advertising, but by rights we ort to have two or three col- jlums. Then we wouldn't haft. to fill up with. If we could have our way we'd like to fill the entire Bu gle with advertising at so much per coL This would mean a good eal less work and more pay. Only last wk. we told Hank Weathersby he ort to advertise his fall goods. Hen told us he didn't have enny fall goods except a new barl of molasses whitch he jest got in and besides he diddent calkilate that advertising in the Bugle ever done him enny 'ood ennyhow, and he wouldn't newer of did so if we haddent been willing to take our pay out in trade the nesessities of life, as you might say. Hen said if after being prop of the Bmgville general store for the past 30 years if folks didn't know he was in biz- ness without paying to advertise the fackt they ort to be ashamed of theirselfs and they could do their trading: elsewhere for all of him. Like a good menny other Bingville I folks, Hen is on the rong track. If Hen would advertise what he has got to sell every wk. he would do a tumble big bizness and soon be come one of the biggest merchants in the co. If you have ennythink to sell or want to" buy ennythink advertise in the Bugle and see what happens to you. If you am t got enutf egguca- shion to write your own ads we will write them for you free of charge, except that we will haft to charge you a leetle mite more for the ad, that's alL ADVERTISING IN THE BU GLE PAYS IT PAYS YOU AND IT PAYS US!

Seth went out into the middle of the road and dared Harve to come out and strike him and git hisself a rested for as salting a officer. Seth hung' around outside the shop so long that Harve who was afraid to ventchure out, missed his dinner. Being as this razor was the only one Harve had, after Seth went off he closed up the shop in disgust and it will remain closed until Harve can make a dicker somewhere for another razor.

Ma-907-aOO west Sixth Automobile 'n A':'A' I H fr 4 4 -A i --jr. i 44?v i I Well dressed men of Topeka who have been oVer-elated because of the belief that clothes would be cheaper on ac count of the tariff reduction on raw wool are due for a shock. Topeka tail ors Insist that the cost per suit of clothes will be Just about the same. The old H. C. O. L. epidemic will not relent. There Is a chance that the ma terials may be of a slightly better qual ity, but this Is the only consolation of fered. The Underwood bill slices 30 per cent, from the duty on raw wool, to be sure, but by the time the effects of this re duction come rolling in, the ripples scarcely disturb the pages of the tail or's order book. It is predicted by Topeka dealers that the American manufacturers, frighten ed by the weights that have been rest ing on the tariff, will make more dur able and better quality goods in com petition with the foreign market. A war between the American manufac turers and the dealers of England and the continent may give the Topeka wearers a warmer and longer lasting protection against the elements but the price will still seduce an overdraft notice fro: the bank. English Woolens Popular. The English styles, cloths and pat terns are taking the country by storm. Topeka rah-rahg and young men of the dressy age walk down Kansas avenue with the cold north wind whistling be tween thinly and sparcely clad legs un protected by the warm long blanket great coat3 of last year. They are wearing little "ratty" short cut English coats, straght cut "skinny" trousers, flat-boat shoes and a "dink" hat with a bow in the back. "We have a great demand for the English woolens," said a Topeka tailor this afternoon. "The decrease in duty on foreign goods has created the im pression among tailors that there will be a big call for clothing made from these materials. The materials un doubtedly are the finest in the world. It is figured that men who want qual ity in clothing will pay a little more In order to buy the English woolens. In a way the duty reduction will give people of foreign circumstances a chance to buy materials they have been longing for for years." Here is a little light and consola tion: "The reduction in the tariff on for eign woolens will make winter suits slightly cheaper," another tailor of re nown in Topeka said today. "The change will be hardly notice able, however." Then he struck a chord that has .been heard so many times in a perusal of the American tariff fight: "No matter how low the tariff might be it cannot very seriously affect pro duction. The raw material costs less than anything else in the. tailoring of a first class suit. Labor is about the same, designing the same, if not higher, and other factors that figure in the making of clothes remain as they were last year. For this reason a reduction In the tariff of $3 or J4 will certainly not make a corresponding reduction in the price of a suit." HE STARTS A FLOOD. A Small Boy's Halloween Prank Re sults Seriously. Kansas City. Nov. 1. A Halloween prank of one small boy here caused a flood, a call for the police, me fire de partment and the water department, closed a saloon temporarily, ruined four dresses and two suits of clothes and tied up traffic on two down town streets for half an hour. The toy spied an empty telephone cable pool in a street. A little block of wood held it from rolling down hill. The boy waited until he was sure there were no fiolicemen watching, then removed the Ittle block of wood and ran. The spool started slowly at first but as the great spoo.. six feet in diameter and weighing a thousand pounds, rolled on its momentum increased. Just before it reached Twelftv str?et, crowded with motor cars and pedestrians, it was traveling thirty miles an hour. Then it crashed head-on into a water plug. The plug was broken at the base and the rushing water shot into the door of a saloon. Four girls were within ten feet THERE IS Hftm BEAUTY AND LUXURI ANCE IN EVERY BOTTLE OF HERPIGIDE Did you ever have a dealer offer you a large bottle of something and tell you It was a better remedy for the hair than Newbro's Herpicide and cheaper because in a larger bottle? What? Certainly we knew you had. Many other people have, too. What would you say to that same dealer were he to tell you a silver dol lar was worth more than a five-dollar gold piece because it is larger. Such an attempt being a reflection upon your good sense you would probably say some rather pointed things to him. Tou would be justi fied. Tour self-respect would demand Well, there are Just as many good reasons for the difference in size be tween those bottles as there are for the difference in size between the sil ver dollar and the five dollar gold piece. The truth ?s that the large bottle Isn't half large enough. There Is more virtue in a half pint of Newbro's Herpicide than in a gal lon of some of the so-called hair preparations. There is a dollar's worth of results In the bottle of Herpicide, but do you know what Is In tne otner? No? Then why buy It? Tour Oscar Washington, Oct. 25. Because of the national prominence of the contestants, the fight now being waged between Os car W. Underwood and Richmond Pearson Hobson for the vacant Ala bama senatorial seat is being watched with interest by the whole country. The fight will be spirited, if not bit ter, for both men are determined and they represent diametrically opposite schools of political thought, although both are Democrats. Underwood is a conservative; Hobson a radical. Some idea of the nature of the fight may be gained from the remarks made by the two gentlemen on the floor of the house of representatives the other day. both being members of that body. Hobson in his speech called attention to the fact that Thomas Fortune Ryan of Wall street had contributed $35,000 to the Underwood fund in the prelim inary presidential campaign.

Negro Preacher's Prayers Get Money and Bring Results. Judge Gideon H. Welch 'of the Litchfield county court of common pleas, was Bitting on his front porch in Torrington, Wednesday afternoon, re garding the cloudless skies with anx ious gaze because he had a peach orchard which needed rain, when the front gate opened and the Rev. J. Murphy came up the walk. The Rev. Mr. Murphy is an 85-year-old negro. He was for years pastor of the Zion African Methodist Epis copal church in Torrington, where everybody loves him and calls him "Father" Murphy. "Hello, father," said the judge. "What can we do for you today?" "Well, judge," he replied, "I was thinking you might give me a dollar to help out in my missionary work." Judge Welch handed the Rev. Mr. Murphy a dollar bill. He pocketed it, shuffled about on the walk for a mo ment, glanced at the sky, and said: Appears to me as if we might have a little rain. "If you can make it rain," rejoined the judge, "I'll give you 5 tomor row." "Sure enough?" exclaimed "Father" Murphy. "Then I'll hurry right home and pray." "Well, sir," said Judge Welch, in telling the story, "shortly afterward there came the most refreshing show er we have had in this community for two months. "When he appeared bright and early Thursday morning, he told me that he prayed hard three times. He had no sooner finished the third pray er, he assured me, than it commenced to rain. I gave him a five dollar bill. He said It would all go for missionary work." Winsted, Conn., dispatch to New York World. longerTorld series Ban Johnson Would Play Nine Games Let More See Contests. Chicago, Nov. 1. World series base ball contests of nine games at a reduc tion in the present scale of pr'ces charged for admittance are favored by Ban B. Johnson, president of the American League and national com mission. President Johnson said that he believed that an extension with a reduction in price would be more satis factory than the present arrangement of seven games. Such an ararngement, he contended, would permit more peo ple to see the games at a lower cost. Many complaints have been made that out of town visitors pay large prices to see the world series games, to the exclusion of home town fans who have supported the team all season and who cannot afford the high prices.

"A great trust was placed in my hands and I challenge the gentleman from- Alabama to show that any influence has been used -In my administration of that trust." It is generally believed that Under wood has the better chance of beins sent to the senate, as the people of Alabama are not ready to accept the principles for which Hobson stands.' He believes In prohibition! In woman suffrage and is a stanch follower cf Bryan. Hobson is a native of Alabama and is forty-three years old. He has a record of splendid service in the navy and his bottling up of Cervera's fleet In Santiago harbor during the Spanish American war is a bright spot In American naval history. He has been in the lower house since 1907. Underwood is a native of Kentucky and was born in 1862.

GONDING LEADS OMAHA "Pa" Kourke Puts Veteran Catcher to Manage Team. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 1. "Pa" Rourke of the Omaha Colts has decided to go back to the oldtimers for his manager next year and' has picked Johnny Gonding to manage his Western League club once more. Gonding holds the record for con tinuous service in the Western League, as he played with Omaha in the back stopping department from the day the league opened until two years' ago. Time was slowing Johnny, and Pa picked him out a berth as manager of the Rock Island club. Last spring Johnnny was again recalled to coach the young pitchers and later went to Beatrice, in the Nebraska league. In the meantime Charley Arbogast, now with the Coast league, failed to make much of a showing, and Rourke released him.

Gonding is one of the most popular men in the circuit and a fine de veloper of young pitchers. Old Deed Brings $1,700. New York, Nov. 1.

The five thousand members of the organiza tion are back of the movement for such a department and they expect to work hard for the law. Secretary Jor dan said today: "We're going to get that through the next legislature, I tell you." Mr. Jordan intimated that a large amount of money Is wasted, in Kansas annually because there is 'no general plan of action in connection with the development of better thoroughfares in Kansas. In 1912, he says, $5,028,000 was spent on roads .and bridges, and yet there is comparatively little to show for the expenditure. "Not tnat tnere nas been any graft," he said, "but because of lack of system." There will be a big good roads meet ing at Scranton next Thursday after noon and evening. Motorists and other good road advocates will be present from all parts of Douglas and Osage counties. Geodge H. Hodges, governor of Kansas, and Judge A. M. Lowe, pres ident of the National Old Trails asso ciation, are expected to be among the speakers. The event will be called "Old Trails Day." There will be music by the famous Boys' band of Burlin game, and the Carbondale band. The names of a large number of new members of the Saline County Automo bile association at Abilene were re ceived this week at the office of the Kansas State Automobile association in Topeka. The motorists have awak ened in Salina and are taking a great amount of interest in the good road movement. One reason for the increas ed interest in the club is the fact that the next meeting of the Kansas State Automobile association will be held "in Salina. Two sociability runs will be made by the club next week one on Tuesday and the other on Friday. The first will take In these towns: Mentor, Assaria Bridgeport, Kepp, Gypsum and New Cambria. The second run will be through these towns: Bavaria, Brookville, Smclan and Falun. Clar ence Jordan, secretary of the Kansas State Automobile association, is ex pected to be a guest in these runs. TO SHOW SUT SKIRTS Motion Picture Exhibit Next Week at Warren M. Crosby Co. Store. An all-iring glimpse at the very source of the prevailing styles in women's appareling will be given to every woman who happens to be in Topeka during next week. And what is there who is not intensely inter ested in the ever absorbing subject of fashion. The Warren M. Crosby Co. has se cured motion picture films made at the Parisian villa of M. Paul Poiret, under his personal supervision and of beautiful French women garbed in his own creations. M. Poiret, you know, is the famous French couturiere who startled the world of fashion several years ago when he brought out his Directoire stye, and his ideas have since been the ruling influence in fashionable appareling, even though the garments as worn by the average woman have been but the practical modifications of his produc tions. In this week's Saturday Evening Post. Corinne Lowe discusses the domination of M. Poiret's ideas in her article on "The Grand Strategy of Style." It was this same Poiret who costumed Richepin's play, "Le Min aret," and this article tells how this one play has shown its influence in today's fashions. The Warren M. Crosby Co. has fitted up a large room on the first floor of their Annex for the showing and will have as their guests every woman who cares to see this unique exhibit next week. There will be six showings each day during the week. Fend Center Is Burned. Jackson, Ky., Nov. 1.

He Simply Has a Close Shave of It, But H) Still Uvea. For ten days or more Mrs. Bowser Had noticed that Mr. Bowser araggea one of his legs a bit when walking, and in going up and down stairs he swore several times under his breath. At length she asked: "Have you had a fall or hurt your hip?" "Of course not," was the reply. "I notice that you limp." "The shoe on my right foot pinches a little." "Oh, that's It. I didn't know but It was rheumatism. You've sot wet sev eral times lately." "When rheumatism comes I'll take care of It." She said no more, but the other evening she noticed that he had hard work getting up the steps, and that he had a scared look in his eyes. He was very sober during dinner hour and for some time after, but after nu merous sighs and grunts he suddenly exclaimed: "By John, Mrs. Bowser, but what in thunder has got into my legs? I don't believe I can walk three steps!" "It's rheumatism, probably," she replied, "and you ought to attend to it very sharply. Your legs must be well rubbed with liniment.". "You yov lon't mean that I've actually got rheumatism!" he whis pered as he grew white around the mouth. "I'm sure of It. I think you've had It hanging around, you for some weeks." "And rheumatism ties a man up in knots and often goes to his heart and kills him like a bullet?" "Yea" Mr. Bowser grew paler, and his chin quivered, but as Mrs. Bowser began to express her hopes that this was only a mild attack and would yield readily to treatment, he took a sudden, resolve and almost sternly said: "Well, we won't worry. Whatever It la I will bear it like a man. I may be a cripple in the house for months or years, but you won't hear one word of complaint from me." He managed to get upstairs after a great deal of trouble, and after he had been rubbed and helped into bed he felt so much better that he went -to sleep. When he awoke in the morn ing, however. It was a different thing. His legs were almost as stiff as crow t ars, and the doctor arrived to warn him that he was good for three days in bed. He was asked to exercise pa tience and keep a cheerful spirit, and he replied: "Not one complaint shall be heard from me, doctor, and I'll whistle and sing all the time." That was the way out the first day started in. The doctor had been gone exactly four minutes when Mr. Bowser suddenly exclaimed: "By gum! you are taking It too cool for -B Want Waltsins a woman with a dying husband." "But what can I do for you?" asked Mrs. Bowser. "You can turn my pillow over, rub my feet, give me that camphor, get me the morning paper, bring me a cigar. A lov ing wife would think of a hundred things to do." During that first day Mr. Bowser was assisted to turn over in bed 28 times; his pillow was elevated or lowered 34 times; he smelt of the camphor bottle 22 times, and he had his feet rubbed 14 times. The window of his bedroom was lowered or raised 36 times, and be had four kinds of broth and 12 special dishes. He had made 23 predictions as to being dead In the morning. All this, and yet at 10 o'clock at night he said to Mrs. Bowser: "If you have no interest In this ease, just let me know, and I'll hire a trained nurse!" The second day really began one min ute after midnight, as Mr. Bowser awoke at that instant and complained- of a Jerky sensation in one of his big toes. At 2 o'clock be had cold streaks, at S his knees were numb, and at 7 he felt a fluttering of the heart. During the day he sat up and lay down, groaned and whistled, pre dicted that he would die before night. A neighbor who had heard of his illness called to tender his sympathies, and Mr. Bowser took advantage of the occasion to remark: "This Is a serious case, and of course I am suffering as if on the rack, but you notice how calmly I take it. I am not a man to make complaints, and even with death staring me in the face. I am trying to preserve a cheerful demeanor." Mr. Bowser wanted beer, ginger ale. and lemonade. He wanted .strawberries and jellies and ice cream. He Insisted that Mrs. Bowser telephone his condition to the doctor every hour, and yet he de clared that the family physician didn't know enough to doctor, a anuyneaa cat. He set out with tears In his eyes to tell Mrs. Bowser what to do as a widow, but at the end of ten minutes chanced her with a desire to see him "Dlanted" so that she could marry again. Of the 15 special dishes prepared for him he sipped at one or two, and when night came he drew up his knees, with a sigh and groaned out: v "I should have gone to the hospital In the first place. I might have known that Around the Boom."' I coudn't get any attention In my own house." Mr. Bowser began this day at 1 o'ciook in the morning. He awoke Mrs- Bowser to Inform her that he had a feeling in the small of his back as if a cold flatlron was resting there. An hour later he aroused her again to ask her u an ltcning neei was a good sign. He and his heel got along somehow until 6 o'clock, and then he demanded that she go down and club a fish peddler who was shouting his stock. During that day he threatened the life of the cat 12 different times; he called tne doctor a quack 21 times, and he made use of over fiu cuss words. Mrs. Bowser cooked beef, mutton and chicken In every way known to woman, but he found fault with each dish as It was presented. His feet were too high or his head too low, and the bed either had a hollow or a lump In it- Not Tor tnree minutes at a time was h auiet or satisfied, but at S o'clock In the afternoon Mrs. Bowser had to go down to the kitchen to show the new cook about her wrk. Half an hour later, as she started up the stairs, she al most screamed out as she glanced Into the sitting room. There stood Mr. Bowser fully dressed and bowing and smiling as the cat rubbed his legs and purred. "Teu you here!" she gasped in as tonishment. "I am here. Mrs. Bowser," no oianaiy answered. 'But vonr rheumatisms Rhiimfttlmn? Tea. I was at death s door with rheumatism, but I brought my will power to near on tne pnysicai. ana this is the resu.t. You would have lain there and dld."

Kansas City Star. UBIQUITOUS YANKEE. An American Is Found Holding Down a Claim In Siberia. St. Petersburg, Nov. 1. The ubl quitous American trader appears to have discovered a part, at least, of northern Siberia and to have made it his own. So strong a hold in fact has he secured upon the natives of that little known part of the world that while the American silver dollar is taken with avidity in trade, the Rus sian trader who offers two Russian roubles for the same amount of goods is looked upon with suspicion. Lieutenant Arbeniev of the Russian navy, who was a member of the Rus sian expedition which upon its arrival at St, Michael, Alaska, a few weeks ago. reported having found a large body of land forming the counterpart of Nova Zemlya, and enclosing the Kara sea, in a book on the work of the expedition in 1912, Just published, waxes humorous about the American traders met with during the voyage. Wherever natives congregated, he says, there stood the tell-tale log cabin, whence silver dollars, American rifles and canned goods were doled out in return for the precious furs in which the land abounds. The offer of two roubles instead of one silver dollar was in many cases treated .with sus picion. lieutenant Arbeniev argues that it is about time the Russians took more interest in their own lands and people. He records a visit paid to the Taimyr and Waigatch, the two steamers of the expendition, when off Tcheliuskin at the end of August, 1912, by Tungus, a chieftain styled Bobrovsky, which means beaver, who proudly displayed a medal conferred upon him by the president of the United States for suc coring the survivors of the Jeanette Arctic expedition. The influence of the alien traders, says the lieutenant, does not seem to have been physically harmful to the natives but quite the contrary so far as the appearance of the younger gen eration is concerned. They have, how ever, been unable to alter the inde scribably filthy habits of the Siberian redskins. Albino Woodpecker Found. A white woodpecker is the unusual feathered specimen reported by farm ers south of Clinton. John Church, a farmer living near Ellsworth, who has studied native birds, reports having been within a few rods of the white woodpecker on the Thomas Quinn farm. Mr. Church says In size, shape, in the manner of flying, and in every action the white-coated stranger is Identical with the red-headed woodpecker it as sociates with. Farmers of the vicinity have been debating whether to' try to catch the bird alive or to kill It and turn it over to the tender mercies of the taxidermist.

The suit of the United States vs. the International Harvester company to dissolve it, will come on for hearing In the United States district court here before Cir suit Judges Sanborn. Hook and Smith on next Monday. In its petition, which was filed April 80, 1912. the government alleges that the Interna tional Harvester company was organ ized in 1902 as a trust, in violation of the Sherman law; that its purchase of the plants, properties and business of the McCormick, Dee ring. Piano, Warder, Bushnell Glessner and Mil waukee companies created in that company a monopoly of the business In binders, mowers, rakes and binder twine In the United States! and that, in its business methods and practices, the company had increased its prices, to the grave injury of the farmers and had coerced dealers and elimi nated competitor. The Company's Answer. The company, in its answer, filed Aug. 5, 1912, admitted the purchase of the harvester properties and busi ness of the five vendor companies, but denied that the company was organ ized for any unlawful purpose or that such purchase gave it a monopoly in the harvester trade, or that it had in creased prices, or that its business methods and practices bad injured the farmers or the dealers, or its competitors, but. on the contrary, its answer stated that its organization and business had been a benefit to the 'farmers in improved machines and service, and in the low prices of the machines. History of the Case. The taking of evidence on behalf of the government began at Chicago on Sept. 16. 1912, before Robert S. Taylor, examiner. The government called witnesses at hearings held in Chicago, New York, St. Louis and St. Paul.

Ll ARCHDUCHESS QRIE, OAPFiLY WED, QUITS HUSBO TO TOIL 11 HOSRUL jj y W ml Arehdarhsss Vienna, Nov. 1. In an effort to forget the past and heal her own aching heart, the Archduchess Isa bella Marie, daughter of the Arch duke Frederick, the richest of the Austrian royal family, has gone to work as a nurse In a Vienna hospital. Eighteen months ago the arch duchess was married to her cousin. Prince George of Bavaria. She had been betrothed to him for some time and everyone expected that the mar riage would be a success. Yet she left him Immediately after the cere mony, thereby furnishing one of the most amazing episodes in the amaz ing family history of the unfortunate Hapsburgs. Efforts on the part of mutual friends to effect a reconciliation were fruitless. Some months ago the arch duchess had the marriage annulled, leaving the world at large to guess the reason. A few weeks ago the Sisters of the Bed Cross were astonished when the archduchess came to them and de clared her intention of training for Red Cross work. Such a thing had never been dreamed of before. Aus trian, archduchesses are so hedged about by ceremony that they are sel dom brought into contact with the world. Their whole life Is arranged for them from the cradle to the grave. They never are permitted to do a hand's turn for themselves. So the sisters in the hospital were curi ous to see how the archduchess would enter into her new life. The rules of the establishment are severe. The sisters must be at work at six in the morning. The cases are all difficult onea During the six months of training the sisters are called upon to witness many opera Isabella Marie. tions, and this takes strong nervea. It hardly seemed possible that the delicately trained archduchess could stand the strain. Yet she has done so, to the very great surprise of the other nurses. Refusing to stand on her rank, she mingles with her fellow workers, spending much of her leisure time on the flat roof of the hospital. She works like an ordinary girl from a middle class family. The other nurses are permitted to absent them selves from the' hospital but once a week, and the archduchess has not asked for more extended privileges. There is considerable speculation as to what the future of the young arch duchess will be. The eldest daugh ter .of the Archduke Frederick, sec ond cousin of the emperor, she was aestinea to a tnrone. "Lagnlappe' in Danger. New Orleans women have organised to abolish the "lagntappe" practice that has prevailed in the Louisiana metrop olis since the time of the Spanish dom ination. With every purchase, particularly in drug stores and grocery shops, long established custom has required the dealer to give away half a dosen can dies or a piece of gum, even though the customer bought only five cents worth of merchandise. This practice, originally an expression of good nature on the part of the deal er, is now systematic easerfctoa on the part of the customers.
