Kincaid is this Week checking over the cash and se curitiesaggregating nearly $20,000,000 In the office of State Treasurer Earl Akers. It is the annual checking of the tate's funds by the accountant and the examination is in many ways similar to the examination made by the state or government of a state or national bank. For. after all, the state treas ury is a big bank doing twenty-two and a half million dollars in public business each year. Bonds, securities, funds of the vari ous state institutions and departments are included in the assets in the state treasurer's office. The treasurer must keep tab on all securities deposited in his office for various funds. Then the accountant must each year look them over and see that all of the funds are on hand, credited to the proper depart ment and duly accounted for. 921,750 Worthless Paper. Of the nearly 20 million dollars in securities in the office of the state treasurer, there 13 but $21,750 in so called worthless paper. This is the amount of a notorious Comanche coun ty bond deal. The bonds, issued Bome years ago, were declared by the courts to be fraudulent and worthless and are now so entered on the state's records. All other paper is regarded as a gilt edge asset and listed for their full face value and interest due on cou pons. The Comanche county bonds are owned by the state school fund com mission and the permanent school fund is the loser on the bond issue. Since the law does not permit the decreas ing of the fund, the bonds are still carried on the books although they are known to be absolutely worthless. $19,182,400 in Securities. Total securities now in the hands of the state treasurer amount to $19,182, 400.01. They are listed as follows: Permanent school fund bonds.. 9,336,340.42 Permanent school fund interest coupons 5,192,265.62 University endowment fund.... 14. 125.00 University interest 36.736.25 Normal school endowment 247,852.25 Agricultural college endowment 4!3,583.74 Agricultural college interest.... 271,118.59 Normal school interest 133.736.26 Stormont hospital endowment.. 4,700.00 Htormont hospital Interest 1,192.23 Bonds to secure state deposits in banks 1,600,000.00 Bonds deposited under bank de posit guaranty 372,937.10 Special bonds to secure deposits sand fund..: 20,000.00 Bonds and mortgages deposited by insurance companies 1.267,812.53 Total securities in vaults of state treasurer $19,182,400.01 THE WEATHER IS WARM And the Same Pleasant Brand Is Slated for IMday. The maximum temperature today was the highest reached since February li While the minimum temperature 24 degrees was 5 degrees below the nor mal minimum for this date, the tem perature for the day has averaged slightly above normal.

Two Docks and Two Steam ships Are Destroyed. Portland, Ore., March 12. Fire early today swept all that section of the Portland water front on the east side, from the upper to the lower Albina fer ries, destroying Columbia dock No. 2, and Montgomery dock No. 1, the steam ships Cricket and Glenroy and much other property, entailing a loss of $1, 000,000. The area burned covered six blocks. The fire started in the lower end of Columbia dock No. 2, from some cause unknown. The steamship Cricket which arrived in the harbor from San Francisco last night, laden- with asphalt, burned fiercely. Firemen cut her loose early to permit her to float down the river, so they could better combat the flames on the dock, but the big ship, instead of going to the center of the stream, float ed along the docks, spreading the flames. The fire boat David Campbell went after her and towed her to mid stream, where she was anchored, still burning. The first mate of the Glenroy was taken to the emergency hospital with a broken arm. Several Chinese sailors were injured while combating the flames on that vessel. The Glenroy caught fire nearly as soon as the Crick et. It was with difficulty the Chinese crew was rescued by the firemen and a number of them Jumped overboard. The entire crew was taken to the po lice station, where a number who had suffered burns were given attention. The Chinese members of the crew were herded by the federal authorities to prevent their escape. TEXAS IS FINISHED. She Is the Biggest Battleship In the World. NewDort News. March 12. All ready for "fight or frolic" the gigan tic super-dreadnaught Texas, most powerful battleship afloat in the world, today left the yards of her builders here from Newport News Ship Building company for the Norfolk navy yard, distant only a few miles, there to be turned over to Rear Ad miral Usher, commandant of the Nor folk station. The vessel s officers and crew had been assembled so that she was ready to be placed officially in commission immediately after being turned over by the builders to the authorized gov ernment representative. The dread naught was launched here almost two years ago, Miss Claudia Lyon, daugh ter of Col. Cecil A. Lyon of Texas, do ng the honors of the occasion with he traditional bottle of champagne. Thio monster of the sea carries as its principal fighting equipment a bat tery of ten 14-inch guns, being the first warship in the world to be fitted out with guns of such large calibre and in addition it has in its main bat tery twenty-one 5-inch. guns. Since the 14-inch guns were placed on the Texas, a Japanese battleship has been equipped with similar sized ones, al though 13.5-inch guns are the largest which have net been placed on any British dreadnaught. The big guns on the Texas are arranged in five turrets all on a central line from stem to stern and are so placed that they can be fired over each other. In length the fighter is 573 feet with a beam 95 feet 2 inches, so that in passing through the Panama canal locks she would have almost 15 feet to i pare. Although her designed speed was 21 knots, in her trials off the Maine coast last October she did her fastest mile in 22.28 knots. She has a displacement of 27.000 tons, a horsepower of 3 5,000 and draws 28 feet, 6 inches. Her armor belt Is 11 inches thick. Twin screw triple ex pansion engines send the steel plated terror sizzling through the seas. The contract price of the vessel for hull and machinery was $5,830,000, but with armament added the total was swelled by several millions. A sister ship, the New York, which also is rapidly approaching completion, is now in course of construction at the New York navy yard. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Fair tonight and Friday: warmer tonight. IT'S A SHr:E SHE HID TO DO IT Glad to Lire in Century With Mrs. Pankhurst. Receives a Sentence of Six Months in Prison. London, March... 12. Miss May Richardson, the militant suffragette, who Tuesday hacked Velasquez's Rokeby Venus," a famous painting in the National gallery, was sentenced to day to six months' 'imprisonment. The case against Miss. Richardson was disposed of, in record time. She was arrested March 10, taken to Bow street police court, and committed for trial by the magistrate on the same day; the grand jury yesterday re turned a true bill against her and to day she was tried and convicted by a jury at' the London sessions at the Old Bailey. The pubUc prosecutor, in address ing the jury on behalf of the govern ment, said one might well doubt whether the prisoner was in her right sense. There was no medical evi dence to show that she was a person npt responsible for her. actions. Miss Richardson has been on a hunger strike since her arrest. In replying to the charge today, she said her act was premeditated and she pleaded guilty. She Addresses the Court. Addressing Judge Robert Wallace, who presided over the court. Miss Rich ardson said: "I am an art student, but I care more for justice than for art. I firm ly believe that when the nation has shut its eyes to justice and has allow ed women, who are fighting for jus tice, to be maltreated and tortured, such an action as mine should be un derstandable. "The slow and premeditated murder of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst is the ul timate which has made necessary the recent acts of her followers. The na tion seems to be dead or asleep, for we women have knocked vainly at the doors of ministers, bishops and arch bishops and even of the king him self. "I know that you will sentence me. I can stand pnly a few months tor ture, but my fate makes little differ ence. I am really a grateful and happy woman, because I have been able to live In a century in which Mrs. Pank hurst lived and because in a slight measure, I have tried to carry out what I believe in." As Judge Wallace was about to pass sentence, the following colloquy oc curred: Defends Her Course. The Judge "If the picture had been destroyed no money could have replaced it." Miss Richardson: "Do you realize that no money can replace Mrs. Pankhurst? She is being slowly killed." The Judge: "You have pleaded guilty ana nave gloried in your crime." Miss Richardson: "I don't say that. I think it is a shame I had to consider it my duty to do it." The Judge: "It is my duty to pass sentence of six months Imprison ment. I recognize that this sentence is totally inadequate but it is the maximum sentence for damaging works of art. If the offense had been window-breaking I could have given the Drisoner 18 months." Miss Richardson looked ill, and it was suggested In some quarters that the precarious state of her health had been the reason for the taking of the unusual course of hurrying the trial. The charge against the prisoner was "malicious damage to a picture." More Public Buildings Closed. London, March 12. The vandalism of the militant suffragettes caused the closing today of a great many public buildings in addition to those which locked their doors yesterday. The Victoria and Albert museum, the crypt and galleries of St, Paul's ca thedral, the royal stables at Bucking ham palace and the cnarter nouse were among those affected. Popular resentment in connection with suf fragette outrages was reflected again today in court. A number of questioners urged Reginald McKenna. the home secre tary, not to release such a dangerous character as May Richardson, who was sentenced to six months' Impris onment for damaging the Rokeby Venus. FIX MILK PRICES. Chicago Bealers Establish Summer Schedule Dairymen Object. Elgin, March 12. The average price of $1.34 1-6 per hundred pounds of milk for six summer months was set by dealers today, when the con tract books for the Chicago dairy dis trict opened. Farmers who made an organized demand for an average price of S1.50M. per hundred, refused I to sign contracts in many parts of the I district, which includes northern IUi i nois, southern. Wisconsin and western I Indiana. j At Elgin, in the heart of the district, j there is no fight. In practically every town in the entire district the farmers j are standing firm for their demands. The maximum price will be paid for milk which shows a test of 3.8 or better. Chicago, March 12. Members of the milk board of the Milk Producers' association met today at the call of their chairman. S. L. Lincoln, of Har vard, and after deliberation issued bulletin advising dairymen through out the Chicago district not to accept l the price of 11.34 1-7 a hundred I pounds, for milk. f The association membership in I eludes milk producers within a radius of sixty miles from Chicago. Than Invaded Cuba. Increase in Patrol Asked For by Texas Congressmen. Washington. March 12. Two more regiments of Unite 1 States troops were moving to join' die Mexican bor der patrol today. Two battalions off the Ninth Infantry at Fort Thomas, Ky., and Fort Logan- H. Root, Ark., and the Seventeenth infantry at Fort McPherson, Ga., were loading bag gage trains and assembling field equipment to move "to Laredo and Eagle Pass to become part of a mili tary force in the state of Texas, larger by 3,000 men than the one General Shatter led into Cuba. The border patrol is being In creased in number at! the requests off Senator Sheppard ane Representative Garner of Texas, whe pointed out to Secretary Garrison that the Vergara Incident had caused a great deal of uneasiness. It was pointed out that cattle were being stolen from Texas ranches and inasmuch as the Ameri can banks along the line were full of cash, confidence would be restored in a great measure by :the presence of more troops. At the White House and at the war department it was stated that such was the only significance of the troop movement, Brigadier General Bliss will assign the new coming regiments to loca tions. They will relieve six troops of cavalry, which will then be free for active patrol duty. Awaiting Carraoza's Reply. Washington. March 12. Officials here believe Carranza has receded from his previously announced deter mination not to receive representa tions from the United States in behalf of any but Americans, although they were still awaiting reply to Secretary Bryan s latest note. Although the text of the Bryan note was withheld it was emphasized the necessity for the constitutionalist leader receiving through United States consular officers representations in behalf of natives off foreign countries whose direct diplomatic relations were with the government in Mexico City. If ew York Advises College Men to Come Here. Mentions Washburn as an Ideal Institution. Lawrence, Kan., March 12. "Go to Kansas, young man, for your educa tion," is the advice eastern newspapers are giving these days to their readers. The great difference in the cost be tween Kansas and eastern colleges and the inspiring spirit at the western In stitutions are the reasons given. The New York Mail In an editorial published last week under the caption "Western vs. Eastern Colleges" has this to say: "It has been ascertained that the reg ular expenses of the average student at the Kansas colleges are S30Q. As It is impossible for an average boy to at tend any of the eastern colleges even the cheapest of them for less than $600 a year, ,t might be a good thing for eastern fathers of limited means who dislike to deny to their sons the advantage of a college training, to send them to a Kansas college instead of to Yale, Harvard or Princeton. "They might do worse, even without (Continued on Page Six.) WORLD'S FAIR FO AVAILABLE 4tr Mrs. Potter Palmer. Mrs. Potter Palmer, president of the board of women managers of the World's Columbian exposition, has issued a statement telling of the whereabouts of funds derived from the sale of souvenirs during the world's fair. She says the money, which amounted to $36,000 at the end of the fair, was invested in se curities and placed in a safe deposit box. The fund has grown through interest until it amounts today to 167,760. r -rrr in ji 1 1 rr sii if Emmemt WiLp ii tfr wm&m Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Miss Eleanor Wilson. MISS WILSON TO WED Youngest Daughter of (be President to Marry Secretary McAdoo. Washington, March 12. Prospects of another Whits House wedding became more definite today with the persist ent renewal of the report that the mar riage of Secretary of the Treasury Mc Adoo and Miss Eleanor Randolph Wil son, youngest daughter of the presi dent, will take place in June. There was no announcement from the White House and when the attention of of ficials was -drawn to the report they would make no comment. Secretary McAdoo himself' said It would be indelicate for him to comment on .the. subject one way or the 'other. Nevertheless official Washington-' is taking it as a fact that the wedding Is in prospect. Mr. McAdoo is a widower, 50 years old, and has six children. Miss Wilson is 24. Many persons, who know Secretary McAdoo, were not surprised at the re port because he has been a frequent social visitor at the White House, dur ing the last year. Washington society has observed the couple at many a dance as well. Recently a son was born to Mr. Mc Adoo's eldest daughter, in Arizona. When his second son, Francis H. Mc Adoo, was married last spring Presi dent Wilson and his family motored to Baltimore to attend the wedding. Mr. McAdoo, who is the builder of the Hud son tunnels, knew the Wilson family before his entry into the cabinet and has been an intimate friend of the president since early in the pre-con-vention campaign. Miss Wilson was educated in the pri vate schools at Princeton, N. J., and during the last few years has been making frequent trips to Philadelphia to an art school, where she has studied painting. SIGNED BY WILSON. The Alaska Railroad Bill Has Become I a Law. Washington. March 12. President Wil son today signed the bill authorizing the expenditure of 335,000,000 for the construc tion of a government owned railway in Alaska. Secretary Lane of the interior de partment and members of the senate and house and others from the Pacific coast region witnessed the ceremony. The president used two pens, a gold one supplied by Charles J. Heifner of Seattle, Wash., former Democrat state chairman, and a silver pen brought by Representative Houston, chairman of the house committee on territories. "Guess I'll change engines." said the president with a smile, as he switched from one pen to the other, as he affixed his name to the bill. He then made a short speech. "I want to say," said the president, "how sincere my gratification is in the completion of this measure and its successful passage. I feel that we have at last reached out the hand of real helpfulness and brotherhood to Alas ka, whieh will now link it to us by many bonds that will be valuable to both sides. This is a consummation that I have been hoping might arrive in my administration and that It has come so soon is to me very delightful.. JOLLIED THE BRITISH. t Ambassador Page Says Canal Speech Was Merely a "Pleasantry.' London, March 12. Walter Hines Page, the United States ambassador. was much surprised when told today of the resolution passed by the sen ate in connection with his speech last night at the dinner of the Associa tion of Chambers of Commerce. He declined to discuss the matter until he had received an official demand for an explanation and details as to what portion of his speech objection was made. l He put the question to the inter viewer: ""The speech was innocent enough, wasn't it?" Asked whether objection might be taken to the last sentence- of bis speech, referring to the Panama canal, Mr. Page replied that that was a pleasantry. The am bassador spoke late in -the evening mm and his remarks were extemporane ous. They were made after most of the reporters had left and no verba tim reports were made of them. The London papers differ slightly In the wording of the ambassador's remarks regarding Panama and Central Amer ican investments. Ambassador Page said that the most accurate report of his speech was contained in the Daily Telegraph, from which the essential parts are quoted verbatim, as follows: "The people of the United States regarded the British empire as the guardian of freedom in all parts of the world, and as a promoter of trade. He would not say that the United States had constructed the Panama canal for the British people but it added, greatly to the pleasure of build ing it that the British people would make the most profit out of if." "He could say a similar thing about the recent lowering of the American tariff. It was not in order' to please the British people but because it was considered economically sound. Nev ertheless, it added to the pleasure of doing it, when he reflected that Amer ica would receive more trade from this country." THE DAY III CONGRESS Senate Asks for Information Regard ing Ambassador Page's Speech. Washington. March lS.--Senate met at noon. Passed a resolution by. Sena tor Chamberlain calling on Ambassa dor Walter H. Page for an explana tion of his Panama canal speech in London last night. Immigration committee agreed to report the Burnett bill favorably, in cluding the literacy test. C. W. De Knight, a lawyer, told the lobby committee he had been paid by the Fore River Shipbuilding company to work for the Panama tolls exemp tion. House met at noon. William J. Shroder, of Cincinanti, former United States attorney, characterized price fixing among corporations as an exer cise of socialistic power and a blow to the public. Rules committee authorized favor able report on Adamson resolution for a rule to consider Panama tolls ex emption repeal, immediately after dis position of the rivers and harbors bill. W. J. Hunt, Cleveland, and W. H. Crowley, Boston, opposed the La Fol lette seamen's bill. Chamberlain's Resolution. The resolution calling on Walter H. Page, American ambassador to Great Britain, for an explanation of a Pan ama canal speech which he is report ed to have delivered before the Asso ciated Chambers of Commerce in London, was adopted today by the senate. The resolution was introduced to day by Senator Chamberlain, Demo crat, of Oregon, an opponent of the repeal of the free tolls provision. In the' reference to the resolution, Sen ator Chamberlain quoted a report of the speech as printed in a New Tork morning paper. The resolution then calls on the secretary ot state to furnish to the senate without delay a copy of the speech made by the American am bassador, and particularly that part thereof giving his definition of the Monroe doctrine and that portion thereof in which he is alleged to have stated that the British would profit most by the use of the Panama canal, and that he call upon the American ambassador to furnish forthwith, for the use of the senate, any evidence on which that portion of his speech was based wherein he is alleged to nave said that it added greatly to the pleas ure of the people of the United States in the building of the Panama canal to know that the British would profit most by Its use. The definition attributed to the am bassador was that the Monroe doc trine simply meant this: "That the United States would pre fer that no European government should gain more land in the new world."

April 3, at a meeting of Eighth district Bull Moosers In Wichita. At that meeting Henry J. Allen will not only officially discredit all rumors that be may withdraw from the gubernatorial race, but he will sound the Progressiva warcry for the coming campaign and his Wichita speech Is to be used as a part of the Bull Moose campaign lit erature this fall. Big delegations to the Wichita meet Ing are expected from all of the coun ties in the Eighth district and many other counties In the state will be rep resented. Raymond Robins of Chicago, who drove the Kansas Progressives wild with his speech in Topeka Febru ary 12, will speak at the Wichita meet ing. Not only will Robins come to Kan sas for the Wichita gathering, but It Is probable that be will spend a week in the state and will make t.eecbea In at least four of the eight congressional districts. Both afternoon and night meetings will be held in the Forum at Wichita. Murdock and Allen will probably speak at the night meeting and Robins will be the principal speaker at the after noon session. "If there is anyone In Kansas who really believes Henry Allen won't stay In the race for governor, I want blm to attend the Wichita meeting." said William Allen White today. "If any one had talked to Allen as I talked to him last Sunday they would know that he is in this fight to the finish. His speech at the Eighth district meeting will be his official announcement as governor and will be published and given state wide circulation." Thoughtful Mr. Taggart. Congressman Joseph A.

The letters to the Kansas widows are sent under Conrrressman Tag gart's franking privilege Important business of a public nature and Mr. Taggart-trusts the flowers may bloom and prove a Joy and blessing ever more. Not a word about Mr. Tag gart's candidacy for re-election ia con tained in the letter, a copy of which nn "Dear Madam I see by the pension roll that you are a soldier's widow. I cannot send you flowers, but under separate cover am sending you a package of flower seeds, i am also sending a package of garden seed. "The question of widows' pensions will come up for consideration of con gress in the near future.

There is a grow ing sentiment here that 912 a month pension is not sufficient. I bone to be able to be of service to you in the future in this respect.

UORK OF 2 YEARS

Encouraging Report of Topeka Traffic Bureau. Reorganization of Association Planned for Future. H HID TO TOPEKA SHIPPERS More Favorable Bates and Freight Collections. Review of Tasks of Commis sioner Driscoll. A report which wu issued today from the office of the Topeka Traffic association, and which covers the period of nearly two years that has spired since the organization of the bureau was perfected, shows that rate reductions have been procured through the efforts of the officers which tend to materially stimulate the manufac turing interests of Topeka. The report is neat in appearance and published in booklet form. In its 54 paces H. D. Driscoll. the traffic com missioner, sets forth the things accom plished in the period in question. The publication is timely as the annual meeting will be held about the last of April and at that time it will be neces sary to reorganize, as all memberships will expire. Re i lew by Commissioner PrisooIL Commissioner Driscoll has the fol lowing to say relative to the report and the work of the association: "The Topeka Traffic assication pre sents this brief review of the work as illustrative of the service which the association performs as a representa tive of the shipping- interests of the -city of Topeka. "The office of the association was opened in May, 1912, to meet the de mands for a shippers' organization through which co-operation could be secured in dealing with the many gen eral traffic and transportation ques tions of mutual Interest and impor tance to all. "The work undertaken and results attained fully demonstrate the wisdom of perfecting such an association, and we believe the work merits the approv al of the public generally and must ap peal especially to all those interested in shipping, whether on a large or small scale. Into or out of this city. To enable us to reach an increasing num ber and add to our already representa tive membership, we invite your inves tigation of the accomplishments of the association with a view of securing your co-operation." Work of Bureau at a Glance. It will be impossible to give the de tails of the work accomplished as published in the report, but Commis sioner Driscoll has made a list of some of the important changes made through the effort of the bureau. The list follows: "The rates on all classes of freight between Topeka and St. Louis, Peoria, Chicago. St. Paul, New York, Pitts -fcurg. etc., have been materially re- duced "Class rates between Topeka and points on the Central branch of the Missouri Pacific railway established on Kansas City basis. "Class rates from Topeka to St Joseph Grand Island railway points in Nebraska established on Kansas City basis. "The Topeka jobbers' rates have been extended to points on the Col orado, Kansas Oklahoma Line (formerly Scott City Northern railway). "Class rates between Topeka and Colorado common points reduced ma terially. "Rates on potatoes, carloads, and syrup, carloads and less carloads from Topeka to all points in Kansas have been reduced. "The privilege of re-worklng or fab ricating iron and steel at Topeka on the through rate has been secured. "Eighteen formal cases before the interstate commerce commission and public utilities commission. "In refunds procured for our mem bers during the first 21 months which is more than the cost of maintaining the association for the same period, $9,547.89. "Saved in quotations through the office of the association, $10,000.00 (approximately). "A year saving to the jobbers, man ufacturers and retailers of Topeka for the future. $50,000.00." The report continues: Mississippi River Rates. The most Important case to Topeka Shippers In the history of Topeka is what is commonly termed the Missis sippi river rate case, In which proceed ing the entire rate .structure between the Mississippi river crossings and Kansas points was under consideration by the commission. This not only af fected the rates from and to the Mis sissippi river crossings but likewise affected practically all rates between Topeka and points erst of the Missis sippi river including points In Minne sota, Iowa and eastern Missouri. This case was originally brought by the state public utilities commission and certain representative cities In cluding Topeka filed intervening peti tions. Nine days were consumed in taking testimony at Topeka In this case and tne decision of tne commission was rendered June 18th, 1913. The new rates prescribed by the commission in this order between Mis sissippi river crossings and Topeka -have the effect of eliminating the Mis souri river as a basing line which has been so long desired by the interior cities of Kansas. Logical Place to Handle Claims. "We feel that it has been demon strated beyond doubt that the office of the association is the most logical place for the handling of the loss and damage claims of the members.

This "Mrs. Governor" Is Mrs. Carolyn B. Shelton, secretary to Senator George E. Chamberlain of Oregon. She is also clerk to the committee on foreign affairs. Some years ago while she was clerk to Chamberlain when he was governor of Oregon she acted as governor of that state on several occasions. The Oregon constitution at that time pro vided that in the absence of the gov ernor his secretary should be "acting governor." lng very many cases of claims of this nature filed first by the individual con cern and either declined by the rail roads or for one reason or another not adjusted until turned over to the as sociation office for handling. "In checking freight bills for errors In rates, etc., the Topeka Traffic as sociation performs a most valuable service for its members and one which is the exception rather than the rule that traffic association offices should perform, "The association has filed 1.399 claims for Its members from May 15, 1912, to March 4, 1914, amounting to $18,146.21, and of this amount $9,547.89 have been paid to date. Complete Tariff Files, "In the office of the association will be found a very complete file of freight and express tariffs not only covering the rates into and out of To peka but generally 'throughout the United States. Cancelled tariffs will be preserved for at least five years as they frequently have to be referred to in handling claims, undercharges, etc. "The members generally have form ed the habit of calling upon trie office of the association before making pay. merit of freight charges unless they know absolutely that the charges art correct. The office has been directly instrumental in securing reductions In freight charges before payment had been made the reductions ranging from 5. cents to.S148.50. Officers of the association are: Geo. P. McEntire, president; Sam' uel E. Lux, vice president; C. M. Law rence, secretary-treasurer; H. D. Dris coll, commissioner. POLICE COURT NEWS. Chickens. That little word causes more trouble to the Topeka police department than any other whole sentence. A dozen times a day complaints are filed at the station against Topeka citizens who re fuse to pen up their fowls. A dozen times policemen make calls to these places and order the owners to build suitable quarters for the chickens. A dozen times a day are the police offi cers abused. This morning a lady came into the police station and raised serious ob jections. Some kind neighbor had re ported that her chickens were running wild and the police as usual ordered that they be penned up. The lady then went to each and every one of her neighbors, asking if they objected to her chickens running loose. They said no. This morning she demanded to know who sent in the report, with an expression on her face that boded no good to that person. '"Jot getting the desired information, she "roasted" the police force and the officers present in particular, xnen ene siampea oui oi the building. Chief Ross, with a weary expression on his face, turned away. "We're get ting used to it. She is the third per son in today with the same opinion of that city ordinance." The police chief said this morning that the ordinance against unpenned chickens will be strictly enforced. John L. Pugh, guard at police station, was unable to report to duty this morn ing on account of illness. Leonard Lyons was arrested last night by Sergeant A. L. Sauls on the charge of keeping and maintaining a nuisance. He was released on bond and will be tried this afternoon before Judge Huron. Cecil Van Cleve was arrested late last night by Policewoman Eva Corning on the charge of smoking a pipe. He is 18 years old and was fined $3 in court this morning. f Joe" Dwiggins, charged with bootleg ging, was acquitted in police court Wednesday. An error occurred in this paper last night. It was reported that both Hannon and Ferguson, police officers, had their clubs stolen from them at a dance. This morning it was discovered that it was only Ferguson and that Mr. Hannon was patrolling another part of the city. OmO For Tho Fmd CAVEII IS DEADLY Laborers Canght In Excavation for Bridge at Bella. Two Killed and Third Han Is Rescued. Delia, Kan., March 12. Two men Mtlm. nop. from a-U, o'clock last night. Just a. they had. fin- ished excavating for an abutment for j a three-span bridge over Cross creek. four miles southeast of Delia. The three men had tossed their tools to the surface when a caveln occurred, burying the three under four to six feet of earth. The dead: Joseph Cormey, 40 years old, bridge contractor and stone mason; leaves wife and three children. Joseph Brazence. 25 years old, la borer; unmarried. Rudolph Besta, $5 years old, was but slightly injured, his escape from death revealing his steady nerve and cool head, which alone saved him Besta was in one corner of the pit. which was eight by twenty feet when the caveln occurred. A pump was at his side, a pipe leading to the surface. Besta grabbed the pump and instinct -tively laid his cheek to the pipe. Clods of dirt falling in the pit, lodged about the pump and pipe, and permitted suf ficient air to reach the entombed man to keep him breathing for more than an hour, during which time forty or fifty men, working in relays of ten, dug wltn all their mignt, until Besta was reached and drawn to the top. Cormey and Brazence were in the center of the excavation when the earth caved in on them It was a. half hour after Besta was brought out alive before the bodies of the other two men were recovered. The man who worked hardest in an effort to rescue the three men, was Frank Brazence, 21 years old, a brother of one of the men crushed to death. The younger man was assist ing his brother and was at the edge of the excavation when the cavein oc cured. Two boys, whose names could not be learned, were also at the top of the hole when the caveln occurred. They were there in the capacity of helpers. One of the boys mounted a horse and sped to Delia and give the alarm. In less than five minutes fifty men had procured all the spades and shovels in the two hardware stores and rode on horseback and in vehicles to the scene. A ladder was lowered and when one man had dug until he was fatigued, he climbed the ladder as an other man passed him going down to wield the shovel. HE REFUSES SALARY INCREASE David WsMu David Walsh, the new governor ex Massachusetts, has just won distinc tion by refusing an increase in sal ary. Tne sauury of the governor has been $8,000, but the legislature re cently voted to Increase It to 312,000. Governor Walsh has Just sent a spe cial message to that body declining the increase because he feels that he was elected to get the former salary and that his electiou was a contract with the people to serve for that re muneration. He is or the opinion, however, that the present salary is inadequate, HE CALLS ON KELLEY. Member of Industrial Commission in terviews Head of Hobo Army. San Francisco, March 12. The re port on the unemployed situation at Sacramento will be made to the fed eral industrial relations committee by Harrish Weinstock, a member of the commission, within a few days. Mr. Weinstock.

"Kelley," said Weinstock, "im pressed me as a man of considerable mentality. His arguments are well fnnnilAil frnm th viw nf th. iin. employed and he is a man of no mean brain power. I asked him why the army was going to Washington, explaining the commission's report on the situation would be awaited by congress before action would be taken. "He answered that the committees of previous years had their reports shelved and that unless he was there with a force of men to back up this report it stood a good chance of being similarly treated. As to the reme dies Kelley asked that he be allowed time in which to write them out When these are received my report will be forwarded to Washington. "Whether the members of the army are honest hard working men out of employment or criminals and toughs I cannot say now. "I did not mingle with them, my purpose in Sacramento being to ob tain the views of the leaders on the labor situation." Burn Church Property. Glasgow, Scotland, March 12.

Robert Stone of Topeka has replied to the statement of Grant Harrington of Topeka In which the governor's pri vate secretary recently declared that the Hodges administration had reduced the number of employees on the state's pay roll. Stone charges that the Democrats are spending $11,653.49 mora for heln In thA vaHmiB aiata Ha. partments than was paid under the last year of the Stubbs administra tion and that the number of employees has been increased rather than re duced. Declaring that Harrington juggled his figures nis statement as to state employees. Stone said in part "There are a number of mistakes in your list" declares Stone. "For in stance, you give only two employees for the fish and game warden depart' raent in the month of December, 1912, and three for December, 1913. The vouchers in the auditor's office show vouchers issued to ten persons in De cember, 1912, and twenty In Decem ber, 1913. "The employees at the university for December, 1912 and 1913, you give as 262 and 275, respectively, while they should be 444 under the Stubbs administration- and 591 under the Hodges administration, "The number of employees at the Agricultural college and its auxiliaries you give as 883 in December, 1912, and 807 in December, 1913, while the records in the auditor's office show that the number for that month un der the Stubbs administration was 674 and under the. Hodges administration, 710. "You show the number of employees in December, 1913, at the Normal school at Fort Hays as 29, when in fact there were 54. "Tou show the number of em ployees at the Normal school at Pitts burg as 61, when In fact there were 99 who drew money from, the public treasury in December, 1913. "In your statement you show the Republican aftrnTplirtratloaTwlth 125 oil- inspectors wte were -not drawing salaries but'-Wrtaine",,-feesi or -the work performed.. There were in fact only 118. They were not drawing money from the public treasury, but it is proper to charge them up as an item of expense to the people because their services are paid for either by direct or indirect taxation. If, how ever, the oil inspectors are to be charged to the Republican adminis tration, you should have been fair enough to have charged the Hodges administration with the deputy fire marshals that work upon a similar basis. There are 465 deputy fire mar shals of whom you took no account whatever. "The Lamed hospital was estab lished by the last legislature, and you have very generously charged the Hodges administration with three em ployees, while in fact there were twenty-eight vouchers issued in the month of December, 1913, to em ployees of that institution, which is still in an incipient state. "In the same way you have charged the Hodges administration with five employees of the Tubercular sanitar ium, while in fact 'wenty-seven per sons in the month of December, 1913, drew money out of the public treas ury on account of that institution, which has not yet rendered any sub stantial good to the state." More Political Spoils. James Dobbs has lost his job. For eleven years Dobbs has been superin tendent of the penitentiary brick plant at Lansing. He drew a salary of $125 a month. Now the spoils system has been applied and Dobbs has been sent to his wife and babies in Atchison job less and "no one to blame but a cruel and corrupt practice that caused the Democratic state administration to put politics above efficiency." An investigation of the Dobbs case, however, reveals the fact that Dobbs is a Democrat, contributed regularly to the Republican campaign fund under J. N. Dolley's 5 per cent salary assess ments; and is said to have been suc ceeded in his job by a Republican. Davidson for Congress.

The date of the wedding has not yet been definitely decided upon, but it will be in the latter part of May. Mr. Romadka will arrive Saturday from Milwaukee for a vist to his fiancee. Mrs. Merrill Mills and Mrs. Roland Perkins will have an informal after noon party Friday for Mrs. Charles George, Jr., of Fort Riley, who is spending the month with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Curtis, and for Miss Isabel Smith, whose marriage to Lieutenant Arner Robenson will take place March 28. The D. A. R. meeting for Saturday will be held at the Elkj club, instead of at the home of Mrs. L. L. Kiene. The Jackson etreet entrance of the club house will be used. Girls who are devoted to the new Bakst fad of embroidery will be inter ested in knowing that the fad is of Rus sian origin. It was made popular be cause the two Russian artists, Nazi mova. the actress, and Pavolowa, the dancer, coming to America and winning such favor. This made modistes turn to Russia to look for fashion ideas. Bakst is the great Russian painter, and his color effects are much on the order of the old masters. He blends wonder ful blues and green and vivid reds in such a way that they are never glar ing but seem to make an original show ing: of color that is always attractive. The embroidery workers who are mak ing Bakst collars for summer gowns will notice that manufacturers who make embroidery silks have tried to follow the wonderful color effects of the great Russian painter, and have suc ceeded remarkably well. Miss Katherine Dolman will take the part of the fairy "Music" in the pan tomime, "Sleeping Beauty," to be given by the young women of the Social Service club March 20 and 21 at the Grand theater. LIFE'S ROAD Smoothed by Change of Food. i Worry Is a big load to carry and an unnecessary one. When accompanied by indigestion it certainly is cause for the blues. But the whole trouble may be easily thrown off and life's road be made easy and comfortable by proper eating and the cultivation of good cheer. Read what a Troy woman says: "Two years ago I made the acquaint ance of Grape-Nuts and have used the food once a day and sometimes twice, ever since. "At the time I began to use It life was a burden. I was for years afflicted with bilious sick headache, caused by Indigestion, and nothing seemed to re lieve me. "The trouble became so severe I had to leave my work for days at a time "My nerves were in such a state I could not sleep and the doctor said I was on the verge of nervous prostra tion. I saw an adv. concerning Grape- Nuts and bought a package for trial. "What Grape-Nuts has done for me is certainly marvelous. I can now sleep like a child, am entirely free irom the old trouble and have not had a headache in over a year. I feel like a new person. I have recommended it to others. One man I knew ate princi pally Grape-Nuts, while working on the ice all winter, and said he never felt better In his life." Name given by Fostum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.

And she will be one of the four who give a flower dance to the music of the Rose Maid. Miss Dolman will be dressed in a pale blue silk gown with a blue chiffon veil. The Ladies' Music club furnished another delightful treat for their friends Wednesday afternoon, when Miss Nell Kouns and Miss Sara Kouns appeared in recital at the First Bap tist church. The singing of the Misses Kouns is always appreciated in Topeka, but this was the first opportunity given the public to hear them in recital since their return from Munich, where they studied under Dr. Raoul Walker, and their performance yes terday would indicate a brilliant fu ture for both of them. Each num ber was enthusiastically received and the young women were most gracious in responding to encores. Mrs. Rob ert Garver was as usual artistic in her accompaniments. The one number on the program by a Topeka musician, "Heaven Is So Far Away," a composition of Dean Horace Whitehouse, was repeated in response to the- persistent encore of the audience. The church was effectively decor ated in palms, with one huge basket of pink roses and ferns to the right of the platform.. Miss Nell Kouns was gowned In pink charmeuae and carried an armful of Killarney roses. Miss Sara Kouns wore white and car ried yellow rosea. Mrs.. Garver's gown was of pink crepe meteor and she wore with it a corsage bouquet of sweet peas.

When the first blush of youth is over, this beauti ful tint and satiny lustre are rarely seen. How to preserve them that's the ques tion. Famous beauty experts abroad long have known that ordinary mercolised wax works wonders in this direction. It actually gives a new surface to the skin. restoring that marvelous girlish color and softness in a remarkable manner. An ounce of this wax, procurable at any drug store, will convert a' faded, freckled. worn-out or discolored complexion into one of captivating loveliness in less than two weeks. No special skill Is necessary In applying the wax, it being "smeared on at night like cold cream and washed off in the morning. To remove wrinkles, or delay their for mation, a face bath made by dissolving I os. powdered saxoiste in pt- witcn nazel, will he found wonderfully euieacious.

The State Journal la a member of the aaeiii la I ii J Presa and recetvea the full day telegraph report of that great news w snadaetlon (or the exclusive .afternoon pabUcatlan fn Topeka. The news la received In The State Jour aal building over wlree for thla sole pur- Very appropriately, it would seem, the Industrial Workers of the World have been nicknamed the "I Won't Workers." King George seems to be one of those who are .Inclined to step in. where angels fear to tread. He has undertaken to aid In the settlement of the question of home rule for Ire- m Jack London and Sam Blythe are apparently not entitled to the front seat on the water-wagon. John L. Sullivan insists that he hasn't mixed with John Barleycorn for nine long years. Senor Huerta declares valiantly that he will die with his boots on, notes the Kansas City Journal, and it adds: Very likely. It is the fashion in Mex ico. Madero died that way, and so did Benton. Sticklers for civil service seem to be noted more for the exceptions to it that thev practice. This applies just now from the president of the United States clear down the line to the mayor of Topeka, which is some dis tance. Isn't it a trifle premature for Gov ernor General Harrison of the Philip pines to declare that the new policy for the administration of the affairs of. this dependency is an emphatic suc cess? It has only been in 'operation for a few months. If the triple tax on dogs isn't en forced any better than the single one has been, it won't be at all burden some to many of the dog owners, nor will there be any diminution of the unowned dogs that are such' a nui sance in every community. And the very best reason why the Prohibitionists will not have a state ticket in Kansas this year is that they don't need one. All of the other recognized parties in Kansas are just as strong for prohibition as is the party which bears that name. March 16 is the date for the ending of extra session of wintry weather that was forecasted by the groundhog. But If the goosebone weather prophets are to be relied upon, the lamblike advent of March is certain to prolong somewhat the season of untoward cli matic conditions. Government investigators find that the cost of living is higher than it has ever been before, notes the Chi cago Record-Herald, and it adds: An unlucky thing about it is that no matter how the ultimate consumer manipulates his accounts the money that is taken out of his pockets will not come back. As was to have been expected, Governor Colquitt of Texas was prompt to deny that it was a body of his rangers who crossed into Mexico and recovered the bodyvof Vergara. It was unreasonable to suppose that all of Colquitt's fierce talk about the reprisals that Texas intended to make against Mexico would be followed by even such an insignificant' activity as the recovery of a body of a dead man. Army officers are going te' expert ment with the motorcycle to deter mine its possibilities as an engine of war and destruction. And if they are looking for any testimonials on this score they can gather as many as they desire from the pedestrians on city streets. It would take a courage not possessed by humans for a company or regiment of soldiers not' to break and run from the onslaught of a bunch of motorcycle maniacs. Kazimova is a wonderful actress, no doubt. But tha 'a no good reason why she should insist on always carrying the grouch of the tragedies she interprets on the stage with her to the photographers every time she poses for a picture. Just one little photo of Nazi with a smile on her face would be most refreshing to the newspaper and magazine readers who, of course, cannot dodge the mul titude of her pictures that are thrust into their gaze. In all likelihood, the investigation of the fire which destroyed the build ing used by the Missouri Athletic club at St. Louis will produce indisputable evidence that the .building was in a dangerous condition, unfitted in every var to -the purposes for which it was used, unsafe in every particular aa a place of habitation, and so on and so forth. All of which should have been discovered beforehand, and the after-realisation of these conditions won't bring back to life any of the many victims of the blase. And- the distressing' feature of thla catastro phe is that it won't be taken as a warning of the necessity for the con demnation of the countless other fire traps of this sort which are In exist ence in almost every city in the ooun try. These are a variety of stable doors that are seldom if ever attended to in time. t. THOSE "POISONED NEEDLES." Popular beliefs on scientific sub jects apparently run in waves. Many will remember the Interest in hypno tism which followed the publication of "Trilby." Svengali with his "hyp notic eye" at once became a real and possible personage In 'the public imag ination. The newspapers were full of stories of girls and women who had suddenly been, fixed and paralyzed by the hypnotic gaze of some mysterious stranger with piercing black" eyes' and who had been compelled by his will to fantastic acts which they were powerless to prevent. Fiction, writers took up the idea, and stories center ing around hypnotic influence became common. It was used "as a plea in criminal cases, various culprits alleg ing that they 'had been hypnotised and compelled against their will to perform unlawful acts. AH this 'oc curred in spite of the fact, frequently stated and known by -every scientific man, that the limitations of hypno tism are definite and well recognised, that no person can be hypnotized un knowingly or against his will, and that few persons are so susceptible as to be capable of being compelled, to perform acts beyond their own voli tion and knowledge. Another popular fiction which later on took the place of hypnotism was that of instantaneous anesthesia. Stories appeared In the newspapers of women who had been accosted by strangers and, under some pretext, had permitted a cloth or a handker chief to be pressed momentarily over their mouth and nose. Immediate unconsciousness was said to have fol lowed, resulting in a period of insen sibility and Irresponsibility, varying from a few minutes to hours or even days. Chloroform sprayed into an open window by means of an ato mizer, anesthetics tied to a rag on the end of a pole and thrown Into a bedroom, instant unconsciousness fol lowing the administration of drugs unknown to physicians and pharma cists, were some of the variations of this idea. In the minds of physicians and nurses who see every day the ad ministration of anesthetics, such stories only excite mirth. Any one who knows the difficulty and labor of securing unconsciousness through the use of anesthetics, even under the most favorable conditions and with every possible means of "restraining and controlling the patient, knows how absurd such stories are. A latter-day variation of these pop ular beliefs, says The Journal of the American Medical Association, may be found in the "poisoned needle" stories which have been going the rounds of the press recently. A wo man goes to a moving-picture theater, enters a crowded elevator, a street car or elevated train, or is caught in the press of a crowd. Suddenly she sees, close beside her, our old friend, the "mysterious stranger," with the piercing black eyes and the compell ing manner. At the same time, she feels a sting and knows that she has been stabbed with a poisoned needle. She immediately becomes uncon scious, dazed or irresponsible for a greater or less period of time, during which she experiences a number of marvelous adventures or hair-breadth escapes. It is not possible to say that no wo man was ever without her knowledge given a drug hypodermically which produced unconsciousness It can, however,- be said very positively that there Is no drug known to scientific men which could be administered in the manner or which would produce the effect described in recent newspa per reports. One of the laws of hysteria is that when any peculiar phenomenon is re ported, similar .Instances immediately appear throughout the country. We may now expect a spring crop of magazine stories and popular novels based on the poisoned needle as a mo tive. Scientifically, the thing is as ridiculous and impossible as hypno tism of an unwilling subject or in stantaneous anesthesia.

(By Catherine .Cooperi) The' perplexed frown that had puckered the young writer's brow vanished. His troubles,' for -the mo ment, were lessened by the sight of a small advertisement his eyes had. dis covered. When four of his fraternity fellows had deposited themselves uninvited into Sneddon's apartment the young author could do nothing but bow to the inevitable and invite them all to dinner. The dinner for these four men had been the source of Sneddon's worry. He could cook an egg or make a cup of tea for himself, but certainly fried eggs would not satisfy a hungry quar tet of men. Still, Sneddon was sufficiently proud of his cozy den to want his guests to enjoy it and not have to trail out to the nearest cnop house. Consequently, the advertisement seemed to be the one thing in the world destined to cover the young man's predicament. He 'read again from the slip he had cut from the paper: "Dinner, cooked, consisting of chick en, vegetables, pudding and cheese. etc., sent on short notice by parcel post. Sufficient for six, S3, Including postage." Sneddon beamed. Already his mouth watered in anticipation of the home cooked dinner. Also, he could be free to finish S.000 words on his story before the boys came in from their trip to Broadway. He scanned the advertisement for an address. Sneddon grinned a sec ond time. There was a telephone. All he had to do was to call up and give his order. 1 When central rang the number for him and a feminine voice answered. Sneddon told her of his predicament. When he had told her his address she made a note of it. "I can send you order around by 6:30," the voice over the telephone informed him. "Just heat everything up and if you enjoy my cooking please tell your friends about me, Thank you." .she added and Sneddon put up the receiver. Dinner being so wonderfully planned, he went joyfuly to work on his story. At 6 o'clock a large package arrived by parcel post. The four guests had not. come in. and Sneddon unpacked the appetizing basket. He put the chicken immediately in the oven, also the potatoes. There was -another vegetable, cranberry sauce, celery and a pumpkin pie that tempted Sneddon to sample it before his guests arrived. He fell to wondering just what a girl looked like who had conceived so happy a way Of earning her living. He remembered that her voice had rather appealed to him. He felt cer tain, her cooking would do likewise. Five hungry men sat down later and unanimously agreed that Sned don TnK.pd a. marvel of n cook. They fancied the frilly pink ruffs that adorned the drumsticks and neck of the bird. ."Rather gay for a budding author,' suggested MacLean. This pie is what mother used to make, commented Drake. "This fancy cheese makes me think 1 am in the. Knickerbocker," laughed Vale. Sneddon only smiled. "Where do you keep her?" ques tioned Drake. "You're a sly old fox. is site black or white?" "I rather think she is white," Sned don said. "This entire dinner came by parcel post not half an hour before you chaps arrived." He passed the slip of paper around the table. "By Jove what a ripping idea! laughed MacLean. "She's some girl!" nodded Drake. "She can cook for me any time. said Vale. "What is the lady's tele phone number? For some unaccountable reason Sneddon felt irritated because he had given away the secret of his well- cooked dinner, yet he realized that it would mean new business to the girl He pondered many times during the following days as to what she was like. His work was progressing well and in order to woo the mood of in splration Sneddon remained closely confined to his apartment. Rather than go out for meals he cooked whatever seemed handy. At the end of a week of strenuous writ ing he felt the need of more sustain ing food than that in which he had been indulging. Consequently, rather than break into his hours of work he called up H. Dean, the girl who had saved the situation for him when the fraternity boys appeared unexpectedly. "I am a starving man." he said to her over the telephone. "What chance is there of my getting a good square rural meair A laugh trailed over the wire. "If you can exist for another hour I can prepare something." she told him. It was under the sixty minutes al lowed when Sneddon answered a light ring at his doorbell. When he opened it he drew a swift breath of surprise. A most lovely, vision in the way of a feminine beauty stood there.; 'Her basket was swung carefully over one arm. "I brought Tour dinner myself.' she told Sneddon, "because the parcel post would have taken longer.'-' She handed her daintily sacked basket to Sneddon. The color of wild roses seemed to live in her cheeks. In her eyes were the sparkle of health and friendship tor tne woria in general. "You bare saved my life." was all Sneddon could think of by way of conversation. "The things will be scarcely cold.' the girl said and turned to go. Sneddon rang the elevator bell for her and could "nxit remember ha vmg felt more of an idiot as he watched the fan- vision descend from his sight.! Never had a simple; meal 'tasted so wonderful. Throughout his time for devouring it Sneddon's' mind was in a naze. The flower that lay decora tively .acroaa th basket was now in the lapel of his house coat.

When the girl's -voice came to him again Sneddon said: "I am a new be ing since that dinner. Miss Dean. I am wondering if you will let me come over and interview you for my paper your unique line of work will make a splendid story." It was more than a pity that Sned don t had not eves with which to glance along the telephone wire. A radiant smile and exquisite blush were nuaiea.

Copyright, 1914. by the McClure Newspaper Syndi cate.) Evening Chat BY RUTH CAMERON. On Using Books. Not long ago I dropped in to call on a friend of mine, a widow who is about to build some apartment bouses with her husband's insurance money. As she rose to a-reet me ahe laid downa big book. I commented upon the size of it and she laughed and showed it to me. Much to my sur prise, it was a book on plumbing. No, I m not learning to be a plumb er." she said, "but I think I can over see the plumbing of these houses bet ter If I just learn enough about the whole thing to know what the plumb ers and architects are talking about. l got tnia dook out or the library, and I've sent for a lot of catalogues so as to get comparative prices.- I think I can learn from them all enough to know -what I. want, and what it's worth to me." Nows don't you admire that wo man's common sense? I. most cer tainly do. For she has the rare intel ligence to make use of the great mine of power which is open and accessible to all of us, and yet which few: of us take the trouble to use. I refer to the vast quantity of cheap and valuable information on almost any. subject wnicn books of various sorts contain. The habit of correlating the infor mation in books with practical affairs is something very few people seem to have. Yet, if we- will, only learn to look for it, we can find almost any sort of practical Information in books, ana in accessible books, too. For instance, a relative of mine. after vainly trying to get rid of that irritating form of household .pest euphoniously known as "crimson ramblers," took out her encyclopedia and read all about the habits of the creatures. Then, having found out that they liked high roosts,. she inves tigated her moulding, discovered the seat of the trouble' and won out. Government bulletins are another source of practical information which people do not fully appreciate. There are government bulletins on every subject even remotely connected with agriculture, and a great many upon household affairs. If you want to know anything along these lines, write to the department of agricul ture at Washington, and you will re ceive, free of charge, a bulletin that probably represents thousands of dol lars worth of investigation. Almost any town of any size has a free library. The librarian's business is to give out books and also to help In reference work. Again and again, I refer my correspondents to their lo cal librarian, who can show them how to find the Information they want far better than I.

But what would he, in his .wisdom, think if he saw how few people know how to use this plenitude? Riding a Hobby. If you ak them off-hand whether it is a good thing to have a hobby and ride it, a lot of people will tell you, "Cer tainly not." And if you press them for a reason, they will look at you as though thev expected to see signs of softening of the brain, and perhaps pityingly ex plain that-a person with a hobby is a crank and a nuisance to every one he meets. Don't you believe any such thing. Of course, people with hobbies may be nuisances, and a man eating soup may mak a n tnoMt anno vine nerformance -for the person next to him; but one condi tion is no more inevnaoie insn me "mw. In the. first place, what la a hobby? A ..obbv is something in which a man or woman is particularly interested, and wtiith ia rriM a we aa.v. on all avail able opportunities, much to the benefit and enlightenment of humanity, in num berless cases. Why. the riding or isooDies is tne ms tory of civilization. Just pick out- a hobhv-rlder or two the Wright brothers. Orvllle and Wilbur, for instances. The principle of heavier-than-air flight was their hobby; and nobody has to tell you what they did for aviation. 'ide theory that the earth was round, and that a ship could sail around it. at least until she reached another shores was a hobby for many years with a Genoese mariner who most of us believe waa the discoverer of the New World. But these are Instances of what the rid ing of hobbles has done for humanity at large. There is another side of the ques tion every bit aa important, and that is. what will a hobby do for the rider? Well, we'll nave to agree tnat the man wno Isn't Interested In some one thing is a pretty weak sort of specimen. And as a matter of fact, there are more hobby- riders than we suppose. Some people make business tneir nobby; and they ride it pretty hard. too. This is all right, and thev have Bible backing, for the Scrip tures say: "Sees tho-j a man diligent in bis business? He shall- stand before kliura." And while this latter reward may not be such a powerful Incentive in this day and land, we can take It as it was meant at the time it was written. But a hobby outside of one's daily la bora la really the beat kind of a hobby to ride, because It not only tempts us to -the complete change of mind and thought and action which Is necessary to keep us In mental trim, but. by holding our interest, eanres the pendulum to swing Just as far in the opposite direction, and so keeps us from becoming mentally lop-sided.

Just now much is being written and much Is being said relative to the lm-' portations of corn from Argentine. Some of the writers give the impres sion that the supply of grain and live stock in this country is unlimited and that it has enough and to spare for the whole world. As a matter of fact the most corn that Argentine has ever shipped out in a single year was 240, 000.000 bushels, a quantity 1,000,000 bushels less than a full yield in Kan sas for one good year. In 1811, a bad year, Argentine shipped less than 5,000,000 bushels. Last year, a arood year there, Argentine shipped only 40,000,000 bushels, while Kansas raised 156,489,382 bushels.

RAIN AND HUMAN MEMORY. Southern California, which is ordi narily long" on sunshine and short on rain, has been experiencing a series of floods during the past few weeks. Re cent dispatches indicate that much damage has been done. It does not rain often In that section of the coun try. Such heavy downpours as have been recorded recently are not unpre cedented, but there are not many rainy seasons. They come years apart. The Los Angeles Times says the rains are so rare that "people forget and place themselves in jeopardy by moving into dry beds or by building homes along the banks of streams.' when the very fact that high water Is not unknown to those localities should serve as a warning that it would probably come again. People have short memories- about floods. In fact, they are a good deal like i"the bloody, bloomln' spar-. row" immortalised in verse for build ing his nest in a spout. He was washed out when the first heavy rain came, but went back to re-establish his domicile as soon as the clouds roll ed by and the sun reappeared. Along the Ohio river we have a flood proba bly once a year, and sometimes more often.- Every time "there is an Inun dation of the bottom lands a large num ber of the dwellers therein experience hardships, discomfort and deprivation by Teason of being driven from their homes. But when the river goes down they promptly go back to their battered habitations and resume the business of life as if a flood were a mere In cident instead of a calamity. The av erage human being Is a hopeful animal. When the fuel supply Is low he hopes for a mild winter. When provender is scant he hopes for a good crop year. When the run of luck is bad he com forts himself with the reflection that it is a long lane that has no turning. When he has been baptized by Are he looks for a rain, and when he has been deluged by a flood he confidently ex pects a long dry spell. To be sure, they build houses in the creek beds In California. The same thing is done everywhere else, even In places where rain, Is no curiosity and where it is never safe to bet there will be three successively cloudless days. Louisville Courier-Journal. EUGENICS AND COMMON SENSE. The "expert" Is always willing to take the human race in hand and do it good after his own plan, of course. This quality has been peculiarly in evidence of late because of various betterment congress sessions. We have heard much of various schemes for getting a "thoroughbred" race. Now, idealism Is a great social for. and moral earnestness Is not to be de- spisea. but it should be remembered that the existing human race Is the product of some 200,000 years of dras- -tic elimination. This process of sur vival is still going on and will go on. The notion that the best human be ings can be "bred" la an exploded fal lacy. What a man is and does depends much more on his own-independent choice than on hts pedigree. What humanity needs now is the detailed application of proved facts concern ing food, air work and sleep. Our -burden is to get people to do what is already known to be right, not to provide them with cross-indexed an cestors. Collier's Weekly.

Ramsey Disposes of It Like a Daniel Come to Judgment. Tiie "dog question" has reached up to J. A. Ramsey, city sanitary sergeant, who has charge of the municipal regulation of dogs. He says the impression that a city tax can not be collected on dogs if a township and personal tax have been paid is all wrong. He says the city tax is legal, but that a township tax on dogs belonging to the city is wrong, and be takes the "last word." in the controversy by quoting the law. He says: ri ha Mtv usors who are listing tile dogs of those who reside in the city of Topeka; and propose later xo ix men are ver- -clearly in -the wrong- The law was Intended for the townships outside of the citr only, and not for double taxation of dos;s of people who reside within the city limits. Section 2 plainly says: -It shall be the dutv of the assessor in each township, annually, at the time he shall asseos the property in his township, to make diligent inquiry as to the num ber and sex of all doss owned, harbored or kept in his township, and it is hereby made the duty of the owner or barborer of each dog to make (worn report of the number and sex of each dog owned, har bored or kept by him. to said assessor at that time, and said assessor shall at the time he makes hi3 annual report, report the number and sex of each dog in bis township, and the owner and harborer thereof, to the -officer to whom it is his duty to report, etc' "Nothing whatever is said about city assessors listing dogs, and the whole argument for the law on the floor of the senate, at least, was to the effect that it would provide for the country what many cities already had. a good dog regulation. Toneka is no part of Topeka township and her citizens have no voice in town ship affairs or In the election of the of ficers for the township, cr in the distribu tion of txes. "Again section 5 of the law provides: 'This act shall not be construed to prevent the various cities of this state from assessing and collecting a dog tax. etc.' "Or in other words any city of Kansas, lying within the boundaries of a town ship, can do by ordinance what Topeka has already done, regulate, by ordinance, the keeping of dogs within the munici pality, and this state law will not inter fere. "While I sincerely wish that all worth less dogs could be taxed ou of existence, we must be fair in the matter, and not misconstrue the law to accomplish our ends. The taxes of the dogs in the city of Topeka belong by ordinance to the city."

Bat irndersherirf Landed DeMoss, Escaped Prisoner. Undersheriff Hugh Larimer didn't get his man in Sioux City, but picked up an escaped prisoner in St. Joseph, and re turned in triumph. "Tom" DeMoss. trusty at the county Jail, who walked right out. and turned around and never came back again, is behind the bars once more. Mr. Larimer returned last night. DeMoss was picked up purely by luck. Detectives in St. Joseph invited the To peka officer to stroll down "Rabbit Chute" or "Gimme a Dime" alley. Half way down the famous lane, Larimer encountered DeMoss, en route for a jug of beer. "Hello. Tom," said the undersheriff. affably, and put his hand in his trous er pocket. "Oh. Lord." responded DeMoss gloomily, and abandoned his quest for beer. He had been living under the name of Johnson, (and served aa porter at the RoubldeauX hotel. DeMoss was arrested for jointing, and declared last night that he still had a year to serve. BIRTHS REPORTED. The following births were reported to the office of the city clerk today: Charles E.

Kumar That Oil Been Found on De tricb Farm Near Silver Lake. Varied rumors that oil or gas has been found on tne farm belonging to Henry Detrich, who lives near Silver Lake, is causing quite, a stir in North Topeka. As it was impossible to get in communication with Mr. Detrich late this afternoon it itt hard to say whether or. not the -rumors have any foundation. Farmers living near" Mr.- Detrich's farm say .that he has found either coal, gas or oil. it has been known that there is coal in this vicinity for a long time, but it is' not in sufficient quantities to pay mining expenses. If these rumors 'have any founda tion whatever the. "find" is being cleverly concealed. une man Irvine near Silver Lake was positive that the rumors were true,' as Mr. Detrich, has eit .r been drilling on nis farm at limes dur ing the last-six weeks.

STATE WATER SUPPLY Plan Advanced to Ctllize State Hos pital Pump Plant. By spending $20,000 the state may secure its water supply, for the state house, printing plant. Memorial hall and heating plant from the state hos pital pumping station and secure anr ple water to transform the state house lawn into a flower garden, according to Tom Botkin. assistant secretary of state. Botkin would not only have the state provide her own water supply. but would substitute alfalfa for tne blue stem on the state house lawn. The Botkin plan is not new. It was considered under the Hoch adminis tration and estimates were secured which showed that the state could pro vide mains from the state hospital west of Topeka to the state .house grounds and furnish. Jier ownT water supply at a .cost o( not more than 1 2 0,000. The' state hospital maintains its own pumping plant and this plant has sufficient capacity, it is claimed, to provide water for the state build ings In Topeka. At present the" state's water bill is about $1,400 a year. The amount will be increased with' the completion of the Memorial hall and the addition to the state printing' plant. Even now the $1,400 spent each year for water does not enable the' state to water the state house lawn and the "big 16 acre park in midsummer resembles a south Missouri mule with the mange. Bot kin would Insure a permanent carpet of green for the state house grounds by installing an underground irrigat-; ing system and until, the. dandelion crop was killed off. would raise alfal fa instead-ot blue grass on the lawn. It is probable that the question of improving the state house lawn and providing better water service will be checked up to the legislature in some of the biennial reports. BETTER GET BUSY.

Bekkit Man Certtted to Papers with rnoadal Seal. A notary public with an ingrowing ambition and a cast iron seal, but no commission, is the strange case of F. M. Hanks of Beloit. -who today certi fied to pubUe documents filed with the secretary of state.- Just how or when Hanks assumed to become a notary public and the number-of documents to which he has attached his worthv less seal, is not known- Charles Session, secretary of state, today received bond duly executed and signed and sealed by as notary public. In the lower left hand corner of-the doeunaent. Hanks at- Jan. Z. 1918. An examination of the records in the state house failed to show that Hanks was ever commis sioned as a notary. He is steward at the Girls' Industrial school, Beloit. The records sent to the state house were returned to be certified by a no tary public of record. So far as the state law is concerned. Hanks committed no crime by assum ing to become a notary public. The only damage, apparently, is the fact that all documents which he has at tested are worthless. It is the first case of the kind in Kansas in a num ber of years. Care Used in the Buying Of Your Table Supplies will result in a big saving.

A valuable anthropological discovery in the north ern part of German East Africa Is re ported in the Lokal Anzeiger by Dr. Hans Reick of the geological and pal- oentological institute of Berlin univer sity. It is a fossil human skeleton in a- magnificent state of preservation. This is held to prove that "many hundreds of thousands of years ago a highly developed race of men inhabited ihe African continent." The remains seem to be of a com pleteness very unusual in such cases. Not only is the skull perfect with all the teeth but also the "entire frame work of the body the thorax, shoul ders, pelvis and extremities." -The skeleton is ascribed to the di luvial epoch, but anything like a pre cise estimation of its age will only be possible after a thorough examination of the remains of extinct animals among wnicn it was found.

Washington, March 12. That he con tracted with former Rear Admiral Bowles, president of the Fore River Shipbuilding company, for $1,000 and a contingent fee of $4,000 to work for toll exemptions for American coastwise ships in the Panama canal act, was charged today by Clarence W. De Knight before the senate lobby com mittee. For his services in behalf of the Fore River Shipbuilding Co., before the sen ate canals committee when the Panama canal law was under consideration, De Knight testified he was paid only the $1,000, despite the fact that the tolls exemption was included inf the bill. He demanded the $4,000 contingen fee from President Bowles, after the bill -was passed, but thought the reason he did not get it was .because the'-illf ditf not go through in such form that the Fore River Shipbuilding company was to build some ships. "Did your contract call for a, con tingency whereby the bill was to in clude a provision under which the gov ernment was to contract for' ships in case the toll exemption was granted?" asked Senator Reed. "No, I don't think so," said De Knight. "I don't exactly remember the contingency. I was to get the $4,000 if the bill went through a 'certain way.

The committee demanded that De Knight produce his contract with Bowles, which tbe witness said he would do later. De Knight had been subpoenaed to produce files of his cor respondence in relation to many legis lative matters, but he urged that he wanted to consult counsel as to wheth er their production would impugn con fidential relations between attorney and client. The committee will insist upon production of the correspondence. De Knight said that he knew of no or ganized effort now to fight repeal of the toll exemption clause and denied that he had written any letters of warning to shipbuilding companies relating to it. Asked if he knew of any fund be ing raised to fleht the repeal, De Knight averred that he did not. SCHOOL III KANSAS. (Continued from Page One.) the economic motive. The colleges of Kansas are not famous, but there are several of them where a spirit of work and of material scholastic help prevails that is rather rare in the great eastern institutions. Come to Washburn. "The pilgrim from the east, if he strays into the University of Kansas, or Washburn college, or Baker college, is likely to be surprised at the old fashioned spirit of doing everything all together, under a joyous initiative that ne finds. There is a sort of apostolic zeal about the business of getting an education in one of those places. The visitor is impressed by the fact that it is all very like the sclrit that must have prevailed at Yale or Harvard in the rude, struggling old days, when the giants of New England were putting their young heads together with such mighty results. In Kansas what the boys cannot find! a professor to teach them, they teach themselves. In this spirit there is more intel lectual boost than there Is in million dollar laboratories or .In required courses of reading perfunctorily worked up in palatial libraries.

Accordine to a statement given out at the office of James A. Stewart, gen eral passenger agent of the Rock Is land Lines in Topeka, this afternoon, the county superintendent of the schools in the vicinity of Colby is ar ranging to have the seed of all the farms tested by the pupils this spring before planting. This is in line with the campaign being waged by the Rock Island against the planting of poor seed throughout Kansas. The statement reads in part: "The county superintendent of schools at this place has sent seed testers to every school In the country, and has arranged to have the pupils of each school test the seed of all the farms in their school district. .v, "One of the small country schools has found the following condition -of the seeds that farmers intended to plant: Per cent, of seed that germinated: Dwarf kaflr ..20- Red "cane '..37 Black cane ...37 White cane .w 48 White milo ......67 Feterita i ....84 Spring wheat ..88 Milo 90 Flax .96 "Good crops are seldom raised with seed testing less than 90 per cent, and heavy yields are rarely secured with seed testing less than 95 per cent. "It looks as though urging that all Lseed should be tested could not be pushed too hard." CHAPMAN OUT VEEKS Cleveland Infielder Broke Leg While at rracuce. Athens, Ga., March 12.

State Publication Does Not Include Them for This Year. Contracts for all books now in use in the high schools of the state will be extended one year, under action taken by members of the school text book commission. The present con tracts for books used in high schools in Kansas expire May 1. Before the expiration of the extended contract, the commission will determine wheth er the state will take up the publica tion of some of the texts now in use in the high schools. Sixteen books are in the list of re newals to be made by the commis sion. Some of. .these books, the com mission has decided, cannot be print ed by the state at less thanthe present contract purehae price from publish ers. Several of the books, however, may be published at the state printing plant at less than the present cost, ac cording to opinions of some of the commission members. No action look ing to the publication of any of thes books will be taken at this time. Be fore the expiration ,of the renewed contract, "the state will either arrange for a new five year contract for books beginning with May 1, 1915 or will arrange to print such high school texts as the commission deems advisable. Books for high school use on which publishers will be asked to make a one year extension of contract include: astronomy, geology, zoology, botany. English history, rhetoric. English and American literature, German exercise book, German grammar, Latin reader. Latin, grammar,, Caesar. Cicero, Virgil, word analysis, and geometry. The state will likely print all books used in the schools except these high school books. VE LEAD THE WORLD. United t Sates ttaes More Sugar Than Any Other Country. Washington. March 12. The United States leads the world in the importa tion of sugar, .according to a report issued today by the department of ag riculture. The grand total of imports in 1912 was 3.022,187 short tons compar ed with 2,797,514 short tons in 1911. Of this amount, 50.'3 per cent came 'from Cuba. The figures show steady increase in the consumption of sugar in the Uni ted States during the past 30 odd years. It increased from an average of 2,500,000 pounds in 1881-1885 to practically 7.000, 000 pounds In 1901-1910 and in the fiscal year 1912 to a total of 7,900,000,000. The averaee annual consumption which in the fiscal years 1881-1885 was 46 pounds per capita Was more than 78 pounds in 1906-1910 LOWERS THE RATES. I. C. C. Issue Order Goverlng Western Freight Trainee. Washington, March 12. Failure of railroads and shippers to agree on freight rates between Chicago, Missis sippi -river and Missouri river points, or. the one hand and Denver and Colorado common points on the other, induced the interstate commerce com mission to fix commodity, rates today by a definite order. The commission says that, "It is probable no final, solution can be made without a general readjustment of the rates' throughout this territory." But "as affording a present remedy" for the difficulties in which the Colorado Job bers and x other, large shippers have found themselves the commission has established rates .on several hundred commodities materially lower than ex isting rates-' The new lower rates be come effective' May L Fanners Bureau at Beverly.

Two hundred and fifty convicts from the state pris on here will be sent out to work on the state roads as soon as the weather will permit, it was announced today. The men will be divided into five "honor camps." each of which will be in charge of a foreman and an as sistant, both unarmed. The spring road squad will be an increase of 200 over the experimental camp of fifty men sent out last fall. The conduct of the men in camp and the quality of the work they did inspired the prison authorities with enthusiasm for the innovation. Au tomobillsts are jubilant over the pros pects of road improvement. The five squads will be assigned to any town ship that is prepared to build five miles or more of macadamised high ways. The local people will be re quired to pay fifty cents a day for each man for the maintenance of the squads while in camp.

A member of the Appendicitis club, who went through an operation and a divorce In., the same year, has been made defend ant in a case started by Christ's hospital in the district court today.

Manager Dale Gear made arrangements with Quigley to umpire these games while in Topeka last week. Quigley Is coaching the St. Marys baseball team and to work in the Topeka games will give him a chance to get in condition before the National league opening, which will be about the same time that the schedule of the Western league be gins. The minds of Josh Clarke. Ed Han Ion and the fans of Sioux City, have been eased by the receipt cf the sign ed contract of Pitcher Kerby White. The red headed pitcher has been hold ing out and the Sioux City fans had begun to worry, with accent on the worry. The club will leave for Tulsa this week, to begin training. Jimmte McGill has promised the fans of Denver that the Bears will be in the race as one of the strong con tenders for the pennant. In our opinion, they will be a bad second division bunch unless Mogul Jlmmie lands num ber of high class men. Barney Schrel ber is the only pitcher signed. The in field will be the same with the excep tion of the loss of Quillen at third. With Channell and Cassidy lost to the out field the worst can only be expected, Jimmie has got the money and no doubt will produce a winning club, and appears to porsess the willingness to spend the money to get the players. The invasion of the Federals has caused the major league teams to hold their recruits and a number of class AA and class A team are liable to dis appointment. Jack Holland claims to have given Tex Westerzil advance money on his 1S14 salary before Tex signed a Federal League contract.

San Francisco, March 12. The Chinese baseball team of Hawaii, which arrived here yesterday on the steamer Honoluluan, owes its escape from spending the night in the de tention station on Angel station prin cipally to the prowess of En Suey. The Immigration officials were deaf to protests that the players were native born American citizens, that eight were voters and six members of the Hawaiian national guard. "We're sorry," said the official, "but the men are Mongolians and must undergo the usual examina tions." Then it was pointed out that En Suey was known as "Ty Cobb the sec ond," whereupon the officials relented and the players were permitted to come ashore. The team will play its first game today with the University of California. After a series of games in California the visitors will make a tour of the country, afterwards going to Cuba.

Battiste received an offer from the Washington Americans a Drug Gerk Tells How To Cure Indigestion. Recommends to SaSerers the Best Stomach Remedy in Topeka Today. "It is a wonder some of us have stom achs left." remarked a well-known drag clerk recently. "While all drug stores sell a score or more of stomach remedies for which there is a wide demand, most of them are just pepsin puis which di gest the food that is in the stomach at the time. They have no curative or strengthening effect on the stomoch at all. and of course do not reach or cure the cause. So the same people keep on coming here and buying and using them until they are real chronic dyspeptics. When anyone really asks my advice. 1 swear by and recommend ordinary Disu nited magnesia, which doesn't digest the food at all bat just acts as an antacid and sweetens the sour, fermenting eon tents of the stomach. That stops the pain, heart-burn, sour rising, wind, bloat ing, fullness, etc.. In just a few minutes, and the stomach digests Its food without help or trouble, which is the proper way." "Doctors make mistakes sometimes, too." he continued. "My own aunt bad all kinds of trouble with her stomach for years. She bought and used several styles of digestive pills but got worse right along, as naturally she would. Finally she went t a doctor, who nearly scared her to death by telling her she had cancer of the stomach. She came to me with his prescription and told me what he said. I thought it was nonsense. I sent her to another doctor who I knew very wen and he didn't tell her anything, but just gave her this same thing, bisurated magnesia. She took it 'two. weeks and never has had any stomach trouble since and that's three years ago. -She's my own aunt and I know this for a fact. Tes. a lot of btsurated magnesia la cold In To ki.

Topeka Good Enough for Us; We Have No Idea of Leaving. To Uncle Sam OH Customers: Do not be misled by reports being circu lated that we are soon going to clone our Topeka station.

The Centaur Company; FEW BREAK PAROLE Seventeen Per Cent Returned to Pen This Is Low Record. Leavenworth, March 12. Seven teen per cent of the prisoners paroled from the state penitentiary by Gov ernor Hodges since he was Inaugu rated In January, 1913. have violated their paroles. A total of 348 were (ranted paroles and 59 violated them. The parole system went into effect five or six years ago, 22 per cent of those given paroles have violated them. "So this showing of 17 per cent is very good," he said. A new system of gathering infor mation about candidates for paroles has been inaugurated, and during the two months it has been in effect it has cut down the number of paroles, and it will also mean that there will be a fewer number of those let out who will violate their paroles. Before parole is granted the prison physician examines the applicant's personal history and the sociological history of himself and family. An other point is whether the prisoner is capable of performing manual labor; and what the prospects are that he will make good as a citizen after be ing released. number of automobiles In the county which might reach the courts..

The BETTER ELECTRIC SERVICE. Kinsley Wants 24 Hoar Current Merchants Busy. Kinsley, Kan., March 12. An earn est endeavor Is being made by citizens here to secure a 24 hour service from the local electric light plant. It is be lieved that Kinsley is one of the larg est towns in the state not having a continuous current and the agitators are threatening to take the matter up with the public utilities commission if the all night and day service is not put on, despite the fact the local plant is municipally owned. Chautauqua at Russell. Russell, Kan., March 12. Russell will have a chautauqua this year. That was decided recently in a conference be tween the local committee, a consider able number of the guarantors and Mr. Shirley, representing Mr. Honer. Mr. Shirley told the local committee frankly that he did not believe that there was "evident wheat crop failure" in sight and that legally he did not think that the contract could be can celled and that he wished it consider ed as a matter between gentlemen and business men and not as an affair, NEW SYSTEM AT SAUNA. One Man Delivers Orders of All Gro ceries and Meats. Salina, Kan., March 12. A new sys tem of consolidated delivery has been I adopted here by the grocery and meat shops of the city which it Is believed will prove highly satisfactory. E. A. Mitchell has been awarded to furnish wagons to deliver orders for the many establishments, thus permitting the merchants to save considerable because of being relieved of the worry and maintenance of private owned rigs. E. A. Mitchell, manager of the con solidated delivery system, will make his first delivery today. Mr. Mitchell will not commence his meat delivery until next Monday. Mr. Mitchell will make deliveries for 13 Salina groceries and meat dealers and he will have per sonal charge of the work. He has one automobile delivery truck, 13 large grocery wagons and five lighter meat delivery wagons. Beliered This Will Assure Con tinuation of Refinery. Garden City, Kan.; March 12. An an nouncement of particular importance to this section of the state is advice by officials of the United States Sugar and Land Co., owner of the million dol lar beet sugar factory here, that that company will build an interurban line connecting its numerous irrigated ranches in this section. This company is now busy installing the largest elec tric power plant in the central west in its factory here for furnishing current to irrigators over this section and ex tending its own irrigation operations. The trolley line announced will be the first electric road in Kansas west of Newton. It practically assures this section of Kansas that the sugar com pany will continue its operations here despite the removing of the tariff on sugar. It still appears certain the re moval of the sugar tariff will cause a cessation in beet sugar manufacturing but the raising of sugar beets over the thousands of acres under irrigation will be substituted by the growing of for age and grain crops. REMOVE TRACK AT NIGHT. All Clogged Up? Here's Quick Relief A Simple Remedy to Correct Constipation Before It Becomes Chronic Very few people go throurh life with out some time or other being troubled with constipation. Thousands injure themselves by the use of strong ca thartics, salts, mineral waters, pills and similar things. They have temporary value In some cases, it is true, but the good effect is soon lost, and the more one takes of them the less effective they A physic of purgative Is seldom neces sary, and much better and more per manent results can be obtained by using a scientific remedy like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It does not hide behind a high sounding name, but is what it is represented to be, a mild laxative medi cine. It is so mild that thousands of mothers give it to tiny infants, anC yet it is so compounded, and contains such definite ingredients that it will nave equally good effect when used by a person suffering from the worst chronic constipation. In fact, among the greatest endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are elderly people who have suffered for years and found nothing to benefit them until they took Syrup Pepsin. It is a fact that millions of families have Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin con stantly in tbe house, homes like those of Mr. H. W. Fensternu Siegfried, Pa. He says he has had wonderful re sults from the use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, that. In fact, he has nev er found a remedy so 1 he Is 4laA to reoommead it, Tbe special 4 I DRILL AT ASHLAND. Much Land Leased Strip Three Miles Wide and Fifty Long. Ashland, Kan., March 12. That this section of the state is soon to be thor oughly tested for oil and gas now seems certain. At least such a test is promised by J. C. Mahoney and G. A. Duvall, experienced prospectors, who have secured oil and gas leases on thousands of acres in this section dur ing the past few weeks. The strip covered by the leases is about three miles wide and nearly fifty miles in length through Clark and southern Ford counties.

Hutchinson. Kan., March 12. About midnight Wednesday night, while it was too late to secure a court injunction stopping the work. Com missioner of Streets J. E. Buskirk. directing a gang of thirty men, tore up three blocks of Missouri Pacific rail way track on Avenue G. The city has been in litigation with the railroad company for over a year trying to get this track removed from the street and the company finally refused to negotiate further. The city state department forcibly removed the rails and ties, hauling them to the railway right of way off the street. Residents along the street aided in the work. Section Foreman W. M. Taylor, hearing the noise, hurried to the scene with a gang of men, but waa unable to stop the demolition. Agent P. J.

The track destroyed was used as a freight track exclusively. PAVING CONCORDIA. Contractors Begin Work on First New Street. Concordia. Kan., March 12. The real work of paving in Concordia has start ed and is the dawning, we might say, of a new era in, this town, because it is a thing well understood by all that when the actual work is being done, and the people have a demonstration of what paved streets are like in this city, the program, will continue indefin itely, and much to the advantage of the commercial. .interests of the city, besides making lt a better town to live in. The workmen began active opera tions on Broadway. The contractors are giving preference to married men when laborers are put on the lob. They started with a small crew of 15 men, fearing to put too big a force on right now on account of the uncer tainty of the weather. They will add to the force of workmen aa the work progresses.

Failed to Recover Damages In Court in Pawnee County. Larned, Kan.. March 12. What is probably the last chapter of the fa mous anti-gambling crusade started here in the fall of 1912, was closed here when a jury In district court re fused to allow George Roddy damages for alleged false arrest in a $10,000 suit against former Marshal B. Y. Davis and ex-Mayor E. E. Frlzell. Roddy was arrested here in 1912 on a city warrant, charged with gam bling. He gave bond and left for a short visit in LaJunta, Colo.
