Chair man Stone of the foreign relations committee defended the administra tion. The resolution was laid on the table without a record vote.

He never refuses to answer queries, but he is so expert as a verbal feneer that he can answer all day without giving the in formation the writers? want. He has set aside two days of the week when the correspondents assemble in either the president's office or in the east room to get the "news." In addition to these two days, the correspondents, individually, see the president most every day. s On one occasion, when the presi dent was surrounded by a host of cor respondents at the White House, he was asked 'a question by Matthew Tighe, who, as a cross examiner of public officials, is a '.wonder. "As to that," replied the president. smilingly, in the vernacular of the day, you can search me. "There are timesJ Mr. President." said Mr. Tighe, wistfully, "when I wish I could."

B. Smalley of Rock Island Here. Assistant General Manager Suffers Hemorrhage. After spending night and day su perintending the protection of rail way property in the flooded district along the Cimarron river near Arka- lon, Kan., J. B. Smalley, assistar. gen eral manager of the Rock Island Lines In Topeka, suffered a hemorrhage of the brain early this morning. This afternoon a special' train is rushing him 'to his home In Topeka. -He is under care of physician picked up y the special train along the route of the special. His family left to meet him at noon today and Doctors Free man and Sloo have been sent to his bedside. The special will arrive here at 7 o'clock this evening. Last Saturday morning the assist ant general manager left Topeka n his private car to take charge of the flooded property on the Cimarron at Arkalon. He was in the best of health and spirits at the time of his depart ure. The Cimarron was rising to the danger point and the operating head was anxious to maintain train service, protect company property and super vise the work of building temporary bridging in order to facilitate traffic as soon as possible. Since that time he has been on dnty night and day. Messages have been received from him at the local general offices at all hours. His private car has been right on the river bank and instructions have been issued from the car like a miniature telegraph of fice. Most of the time he was out with the men actively engaged in di recting the work of the pile drivers and the bridge carpenters. Few details of bis attack have been received at the general offices of the road in Topeka this afternoon. He was stricken early this morning, doc tors were called hurriedly, bis-' car was attacned to an engine and tne special started immediately for To peka. Physicians have joined the party en route. Mrs. Smalley and son John, left on train no. 11 to meet Mr. Smalley somewhere between Topeka and Hutchinson. A. E. Sweet, general manager, also has hurried south to meet his assistant. J. B. Smalley is considered one of the best operating officials in the ser vice of the Rock Island. He is a thor oughly trained railroad man of the old school. He began bis career as a station helper many years ago on the Milwaukee. He has been through all departments including freight, operat ing, telegraph and maintenance. About thirteen years ago he came with the Rock Island as division superintendent on the Dakota division at Esterville. Iowa. -Later he went to the Iowa division at Des Moines, then the Kansas division at Herington and later the Illinois division at Rock Is land.. In 1910 Mr. Smalley was made gen eral superintendent with his headquar ters, oyer the southwestern district at Topeka. In July 1912, he was made assistant general manager, his 'head quarters remaining here. Late-reports from physicians state that the official's condition is consid ered serious 'Overwork is' believed to have brought on the attack. VILLA'S WAR FLAUS. He WiU Attack SalrHio and San Luis Potosi Simultaneously. Torreon, May 8. Preparations un der way have made, it evident that the nlan of campaign of General Villa against the federals provides for a simultaneous attack on Saltillo and San "Luis Potosi. He, himself, has decided to lead the attack on Saltillo, while General Herrera and General Benavides will lead a strong force against San Luis Potosi. The attack on Saa Luis Potosi will have the effect of practically isolating the Saltillo garrison. Should the federals under General Maas be unable to hold Saltillo noth ing would remain for- them but sur render or death by hunger and thirst If they-were cut off from San Luis Potosi by an attacking .force there. The csuatry between the two- points J I f ';fl? from nomr in Mm1a- u nnw Haemal is almost barren and if the railroad were cut to the south, as Villa un doubtedly intends, but a few fugitives would have a chance of making their way through the stretch of desert on horseback or on foot. There are approximately 10,000 men in the garrison at Saltillo now and about 6,000 In San Luis Potosi. It is believed here that the loading of troops reported to have taken place at Saltillo was for the purpose of rein forcing the San Luis Potosi garrison in expectation of a simultaneous at tack. OLIIEY TELLS WHY. His Letter Declining Appointment 'on Reserve Board Made Public. Washington, May 6. President Wilson today received Richard. Ol ney's letter in which the former sec retary of state declined the appoint ment as governor of the federal, re serve board. Mr. Olney s letter, dated Boston, .May 4. follows: "My dear Mr. President: I feel honored quite beyond words by your letter of the thirtieth ultimo t)y the important offer and by the friendly expressions of confidence which ac company the offer. "But the act of congress, which very properly requires each member of the federal reserve board to give his entire time to hi work, is an in superable obstacle, to my acceptance of the offer. In the course of a long life, I have in various instances as sumed duties and undertaken trusts which from their personal nature can not properly be devolved on others. "If the conclusion I have come to is a disappointment to you I greatly re gret it but you can hardly be sorrier than I am that I am able to do so lit tle in aid of an administration whose first year of achievement makes it one of the most notable the country has ever known. Trusting you will not suffer your health and strength to be impaired by the strain of the unusual difficulties now attending the duties of your great office, I am, "Sincerely yours, -(Signed) "RICHARD OLNEY." Place Is Still Vacant. The president has not yet selected any one .to substitute for Mr. Olney on the board and la not likely to make a choice for-several days, as he is again canvassing the field of available men. It was said by persons close to the president that in all likelihood a New England man -would be chosen, so that the geographical representation might be symmetrical. C. S. Hamlin, now assistant secretary of the treas ury, wno comes from Boston, bad been mentioned for the place among oth ers but there is no definite choice as yet. It is unlikely that the governorship of the board-will go to the New Bng lander, but that one of the four men already selected for the board will be its governor. Either W. P. G. Hard ing of Birmingham, Ala., or Paul M. Warburg of New Tork may be select ed to head the board. IVO'.'Etl AHE SEARCHED They Have Been Carrying Cartridges Across the Border. El Paso. May Military officers and customs inspectors enforcing' the embargo on arms and ammunition along the border have been compelled to install patrols at crossings near here to check the trickle of cartridges across tne line. The close drawn shawls of the feminine adherents of Villa and Car ranza it is said have' covered enough cartridges to fill many a bandolier. All women crossing the international bridges into Mexico are now carefully searched. ACT 3' FQH FRAUD Warrants Issued for Principals hi Wire rapptnc Bcaeae.

SHE BURNS AT SEA The Steamer Columbian Is Ldst Off Sable Isla.d. fr.'' TwentT-Seren of Her Crew Rescued From Opem Boats. Sable Island, May C. Captain Mc Donald and thirteen men of the crew of the British steamer Columbian burned at sea, were 'saved by the steamer Manhattan. A wireless dis patch to this effect was received from the Manhattan by the Marconi station nere today. The Manhattan, bound from New York for Antwerp, had been near the scene of the burning; of the Columbian for some hours and was known to be searching; for boats containing mem bers of the Columbian crew. Her suc cess was announced in the following message: "Manhattan picked up one boat of Columbian, captain and thirteen others. One engineer killed in explosion and one man drowned leaving ship.. Man hattan still searching for other boats.". The rescue, it was added, was made early this morning in 41.19 north lati tude and 69.35 west longitude. Yester day the Cunard liner Franconia picked lip one of the Columbian boats con taining 13 .men and the body of Chief Steward Matthews. to that 27 in all have been rercued alive. The other missing boat for which the Manhattan and other steamers are still searching contains the first and second officers and 17 men. Mystery Is Solved. Boston, May 6. The mystery sur rounding the identity of the steamer "U h ih wnu n ftrA In thh WMthMind trans-Atlantic steamer lane south of Sable Island was solved when wireless messages from the Cunard liner Fran conia told of the burning of the freighter Columbian, and the rescue of thirteen members of her crew from a small boat. The death of Chief Steward Mathews, whose body the sur vivors had in charge, and the disap pearance of a second boat, in which .were nineteen men, including the first and second officers, also were re ported. Whether the number of missing was represented oy inose sua to do in- uw secoad boat is still uncertain. Esti mates by officials of the Leyland -and Phoenix lines placed the number of the crew at between forty-five and -fifty. The. messages, from. the Franconia told of. only thirty-three men, .represented by the occupants of the two boats. It was thought possible that there was a third boat,- .commanded by Captain McDonald of the Columbian. The survivors suffered terribly dur ing forty hours' exposure in an open boat. Their exhaustion was so 'great that it was impossible to obtain a coherent story from them several hours after they were picked up.

This boat put away from the steamer and lay to for a time in the dense smoke which sur rounded the burning vessel, the other boat was not visible and the steward's boSit finally drifted far from the scene.

WALT MASOU EXFLAII1S Did Not Writ "Kansas Land" State Song. for Walt Mason has come to the de fense of his new state song, "Kansas Land," which was criticised by A few Kansas editors, who did not believe that the rhyme was perfect, although they did not offer suggestions for im provement. Mason's song was written and set to music an hour after a re quest for the song had been made by Emporia students. But Mason is will ing to stand his original verse and to defend it against all attacks if de fense is necessary. He also declares that he did not write It as a state song at all, but for private consump tion. The objection lodged against the Mason song was the charge that the words "glances" and "Kansas" were not perfect rhymes. The state gen erally has gladly accepted the Mason offering, but the Emporia poet is will ing to concede a point in technical procedure and admit that the two words are not perfect m rhyme. Answering the objections of the Kansas editors, however. Mason tells the story of the; writing of the new state song and defends his work in the following paragraph in his column In the Emporia Gazette: "They are old enough to know that considerable leeway always is allowed in poems intended for singing rather than for reading," says Mason In an swer to the objections of the editors. "If perfect rhymes were essential to such productions, Robert Burns and all the other great song writers would be. cast into outer darkness. And as a matter of fairness to the author, it may be stated that 'Kansas Land' was not the result of an ambitious effort to fur nish a state song. It was written in response to a hurry call for something about Kansas that would fit a familiar tune, and an hour after the request was received, the rhyme was written and mailed." WILSON SEES CIRCUS. lakes It So Much that He Stays for the Concert. Washington, May 6. President Wilson threw the cares of office aside last night and went to the circus. He forgot the Mexican question and the administration legislative program while he laughed at the antics of the clowns and marveled at acrobatic stints beneath the big tent. He en joyed it all so much that he stayed for the "grand concert" at the finish. With the president were his daugh ter, Miss Margaret, Miss Helen Bones, Dr. Cary Grayson, IT. S. N.. Senator Hughes of New Jersey, Secretary Tu multy, Thomas Pence and Otto Car mlchael. The party occupied a spe cial box which they reached- after passing with the rest of the crowd through the animal tent. BOTKIN FILES FIRST. Old Wheel Horse Candidate for Sec retary of State. Tom Botkln, Republican candidate for secretary of state, is the first can didate for a partisan state office to file his nomination papers. Botkin, who Is assistant secretary of state un der Cnas, Sessions, filed his nominat ing petitions with the secretary of state this morning. He filed under the twenty county plan. Most, of, the Botkln petitions are from -central and western Kansas counties. The petitions were exten sively signed In all counties where they were" circulated and were the first nominating petitions to be circu lated by a candidate for a partisan state office. Botkin will probably be nominated for. secretary of state In the Republican' primaries without op position. 1 Get Topeka Planing Mill price on all kinds of oak flooring. Adv.

New York. May Crowds of curi ous men and women jammed the cor ridors of the criminal court building today for the opening of the second trial of Charles Becker, the former police' lieutenant and head of the strong arm squad, for the murder of the gambler, Herman -Rosenthal. Four men the gunmen, so called recently paid for the murder with their Mves, but Becker, the alleged in stigator, was saved' by a ruling of the court of appeals. After months in the death house, he was transferred to the Tombs 4n. this city, out of which he was, "brought "today, across the Bridge of Sighs, for the second battle for his life. The scene of the trial was the .criminal branch of the su preme court, the same as at the first trial, but Justice Samuel Seabury pre sided in place of Justice M. Goft. Charles, -A. Whitman, district' attor ney, appears for the state as he did at the first trial, hut John A. Mcln tyre is succeeded as chief counsel for Becker by Martin T. Manton. The ut most caution will be employed in the selection of the jury. Among other things,, the talesmen will be asked whether the fact that gunmen paid the-penalty for the crime .will preju dice them. It was thought that the remainder of the week would be re quired to complete the Jury and that the trial will last three weeks or a month..' Nearly 100 witnesses have been sub poenaed by the state and the defense. Many of the witnesses at the last trial have been ignored by the district at torney. It is not believed that Sara Schepps, one of the principal inform ers at the previous trial, will be called- A chauffeur named Coeben, who testified for the defense at the .first trial, has, according to rumor, come over to the side of the prosecution and will supplant Schepps as a cor roborating witness! concerning an al leged meeting between Becker and the conspirators prior to the murder. The crime, for which 'Becker stands indicted took place early in the morn ing of July 10. 1912. and was the ra- suit of, a" war among factions of gam- mors. noseninai, a gambler with a grudge, went to District Attorney Whitman with a tale Involving Becker. In the language of the tenderloin, he "squealed." But Rosenthal's "squeal" was never finished. He was shot down on the sidewalk in front of" the Hotel Metropole. MAY CONSOLIDATE. Blind and Deaf Schools 'to Unite in City. That the school for the blind ut -Kansas City may be consolidated with the school for the deaf at. Olathe and the Bell Memorial hospital at Rosedale may be removed to Kansas City; Kan., is a plan being worked out by the state boards. Members of the state educa tional administration hoard Were in conference in Kansas City this week and the question of consolidation and removal is now being worked out. Since the work of the deaf and blind schools are similar in many respects. It is believed that the two state insti tutions can. be consolidated and much of the overhead expense of the indi vidual schools eliminated. If this pol icy is adopted, it is then probable that the state hospital and medical school at Rosedale may be removed to Kansas City, Kan., under the recent act of the state legislature permitting that town to levy taxes -for the raising of $100. 000 for the support of the school.

Early heaviness was due principally,, to contained realising en a small scale. The large speculative In terests held back. In the absence of lead ership or of any developments with in fluence on financial affairs, traders were conservative in f their dealings and" the market developed no definite trends. Some of the shares were heavy for time but London did little in this market. A better demand- appeared toward noon and quotatonssrere marked up to about a level with 4be preceding cloM. Bonds were steady. Rock Islaad col laterals were brought in round amounts and advanced 2 point. Speculation was characterized daring to day's early market by growing dullness and hesitation, sack as appeared In yes terday's trading, only a nominal amount of business was transacted In the first half hour.

Hammel Tailor Room 1 JOHNSON CASE MAY 14 Federal league Seeks Dissolution In Case or Winnebago Indian. Chicago, May 6. Hearing on the motion to dissolve the injunction re straining George P. Johnson, the pitcher who jumped to the Kansas City federals from the Cincinnati Na tional ball club, was continued Tues day until Thursday, May 14. The in junction which was obtained by the Cincinnati club forbid Johnson from playing with any baseball organiza tion. An affidavit signed by Johnson and Introduced by the Kansas City club told of negotiations the pitcher was carrying on with Joe Tinker and Otto Knabe last January, when a telephone message from Henry Groh of the Cin cinnati club, resulted in his going to Cincinnati to see Garry Herrmann. Herrmann told him, Johnson alleged, that the Federal league had no -ball parks, was not financially responsible and would not last until the opening of the season. Relying, he said, on these representations, the pitcher sign ed a contract with the Cincinnati club. Two paragraphs from the contract' were inserted in the affidavit, one carrying the clause which permits a club to terminate the contract by giv ing written notice to the player, should he be incapacitated by injury for a period of 15 days and the other including the clause which permits the discharge of a player by giving him 10 days notice known as "the ten days clause." Because it contains these clauses Johnston contended in the af fidavit that the contract was invalid. In addition, the pitcher charged the Cincinnati club with illegally and un justly fining him for not being in con Investigate Plastergon And You Will Use It Throughout Your Home It has so many advantages over lath and piaster that after one trial you will use it in every room.

Moreover, the alleged "misrepresen tations" of the president of the Cin cinnati club in predicting the early breakup of the Federal league was held by Johnson as making the con tract of no effect. Contradicting the Cincinnati club, Johnson declared he was- given only $500 advance money Instead of $750 and said that he has returned to the club the $377.50 due it when he left it to join the Kansas City Federals. alericaiTassociation At Minneapolis Score: R H K Louisville 000 020 000 024 8 0 Minneapolis 100 100 000 002 9 0 Northrup and demons; Severold; Lake and Smith, Rondeau.

Lincoln, Neb., May C. It was a real old-fashioned slug-feat that the Ante lope and the Kaws staged for the third contest of the aeries, and with both sides clouting the ball, but the Links bunching them more success fully, the locals wound up on the long end of a 11 to S score. Right from the start it was' appar ent that 1t was to be a fusillade on both sides.-. Wakefield led off in the first' inning with a two-bagger and when Forsythe tripled one of Cooney's curves to the board, Wakefield regis tered.. That was all the scoring for the Kaws, but the Antelopes came right along after Clarke. The Kaw twirler, was wild, and when he did get them over the plate he was forced to put the ball in the groove, and the Lopes fattened their batting averages. Lloyd led off with a walk In the first, McGaf flgan sin gled to center, Lloyd going to second. On QuUUn's single both runners ad vanced. Schreiber hit into a double play, Lloyd going out at the plate and Schreiber at first. Then Mullen walked, and McOee dropped Miller's pop-up. McGaffigan and Quillin scored on the error, and then Rehor doubled, scoring Mullen and Miller.'. Tallion was hit by a pitched ball in the second round, and McGee sin gled, sending the former to second. Cochran singled, Tallion going to third and McGee to second. Cooncy walked Clarke, forcing Tallion in, and then Smith relieved Cooney for Lin coln. McGee scored on Wakefield's sacrifice fly. Dowd forced out Clarke at second. Forsythe walked again, loading the corners,' and Cochran reg istered on Koerner's Infield hit. The Lopes kept on pounding Clarke, scoring one in the second, and three more in the third. The Lopes added another in the fourth, but the fifth was a blank for both, teams. Two more were added for the Lopes in the sixth, on three hits and an error, but in the seventh Glaze went In for Clarke and checked the locals. The eighth was a blank all around, but in the ninth Smith eased up a bit and walked Koerner after Forsythe had fanned. McAllister flew out to Schreiber. and Tallion singled, Koer ner going to third. McGee's double registered Koerner, and Tallion went to third. Cochran ended It by strik ing out. Score: UNCOLN Players- AB. R. H. 1 3 2 "0 3 2 2 2 0 0 P. 2 3 1 3 C 3 9 0 0 0 A. K Lloyd, 2b..

CTJIX LEASED WIRE REPORT OP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. Tha State Journal Is a member of tba Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news w ganlsatloa for tha exclusive afternoon habitation In Topeka. Tha news la received In Tha State Jour nal bonding arar wires for this sols pur- Evidence seems to accumulate that the administration bobbled rather seriously, in the Tampico situation sfter its demonstration at Vera Cruz. Just how high water and floods have kept away from this section of Kansas this spring is another of mys terious ways in which nature works. Maybe the warm weather will use tap lot of its vitality during the pres ent season and will thereby be: unable to work so hard in the good old sum mer time. An alliance between Huerta and Zapata would be most fitting. The Zapatatists actually nailed a bishop of the Roman Catholic church to a cross the other day because he would not turn over the church funds to them. General Villa's idea of mediations and armistices resembles that of Gen eral Grant, points out the New York World. He orders a forward move ment all along the line. There is novelty about Upton Sin clair's suggestion that "mourning pickets" be placed around all of the Standard Oil offices in the country. But that's about all that can be said for it. It is estimated that more than 100, 000 Americans have left Mexico since the first revolt started. And those who were forehanded enough to make an early getaway saved themselves a lot of trouble. Suppose the mediators should de cide that the demand for Huerta to salute the flag was unjustified. What sort of a situation would the United States then be In, and what would be the next move? Art evidently doesn't make any kind of an appeal to the British suffra gettes. Another one of them has Just ruined another famous picture. But the.n they seem to be totally deficient in all the nicer tendencies. Considerable loose baseball seems to be the order of the day in the West ern League. One team that is smoth ered one day will turn around the next day and deliver a like dose to its conquerors of the day before. All of Mr. Bryan's hard work for a Nobel peace prize seems to have been lm vain. And It would have helped a lot in making up his losses on the hautauqua circuits that his duties of public office have occasioned. Now that the Panama tolls bill has been made unfinished business on the aenale calendar, the opportunity for the senators to talk themselves out on the subject Is at hand. Nor is there mny likelihood that they will not avail I themselves of this chance. In the realm of talk, the United States sena tors are in a class by themselves. Huerta's nerve still stays with him. He hasn't the -slightest, fear that any attitude the United States may assume will make it necessary for him to re linquish his Job, and he reiterates his Insistence that under no circumstances will he resign. This would seem to call for a change of plans on the part of President Wilson. Neither is there anything strange in the fact that the New Haven railroad contributed large sums of money to the Republican national and state committees in 1904. Everybody was doing it then. Nor were the skirts of the. Democrats clean in that particu lar. In fact, some of the big corpora- tions used to contribute regularly to both of the major political parties. Old King Caucus is to be called on gain to jam through congress all of the measures In the presidential plans for legislation to be enacted during the present session. Included, are the trust bills', three or four in num ber, and the rural credits bill. ,'And this probably means that rather snap judgment will be taken on these measures of such far-reaching im portance. Of course, it is hard on the railroads that they have suffered large losses through damage to their property by the recent rains. But these same rains may more than recoup such losses by producing bumper crops that will bring large profits to the railroads when the time .comes .for moving them. So without the rains, the rail' roads might have lost more in an Cmt direction PKRUCCT FARMING OUTLOOQL. Herbert Myrick, president of Farm and Home, and editorial director of the American Agriculturist and of the other Orange Judd farm weeklies. Is a recognised authority In his field of en deavor whose natural conservatism makes his views on the agricultural prospects for the-summer and' fall all the more remarkable. 'He expresses them in the current issue of Farm and Home, as follows: Summer, almost here, finds agricul tural conditions more perfect than at. thi date in years. The reserves of moisture In soil and subsoil are larger and more universally distributed throughout the country than at this time since similar conditions in 189 re sulted in the bumper crops which ush ered in the good times that followed.. Now. as then, stocks of goods on mer chants shelves are small, people have liquidated their indebtedness, money is easy, winter wheat Is in more than per fect condition, a full acreage Is being planted to other crops. With ample reserves of moisture, fre quent cultivation will insure even against drouth. 'The great crops now in prospect, together with a reasonable degree of peace at home and abroad. indicate healthy improvement in busi ness from now until harvest, to oe 101 lowed by renewed activity in commerce and Industry. Indeed, the business prosperity which should follow any thing like a full harvest may exceed all expectations. Conditions Justify confidence, opti mism and wise preparation for expand ing business. This is my judgment after personally touring many states, get ting special reports from all sections, and weighing carefully every factor in the agricultural, industrial and finan cial situation. Except for untoward events, good times are at hand. Away with pessimism! BIBLES FOR THE ZULUS. Thousands of Zulus in South Africa are eagerly awaiting the revised Bible in their language now' being printed at the Bible house. New York. The version which they now have, like the revision. Is the work of mission aries of the American Board of Natal, who during SO years translated it. book by book, so that the Bible slow ly grew, as any living thing grows. This early work the American Bible society 'aided' by grants Of "some thou sands of dollars. In 1882 it printed the first complete Zulu Bible at the Bible house. Since then it has ship per Zulu scriptures to South Africa literally by the ton. Every Zulu who learns to read seems at once to set about buying a Bible or a Testament. The books also wander off among kindred Bantu tribes, as far north as Lake Nyasa. The final revision of this Bible, which is now all but completed, is the work of the Rev. J. D. Taylor of Massachusetts, an Amherst college man, who has been in South Africa IS years as a missionary of the American beard. Sentence by sentence and word by word Mr. Taylor, assisted by a na tive purist In Zulu, has gone over the book and the work of other revisers. Expert knowledge of several sciences is requisite in Bible translation. Imagination as well as expert know ledge was required for transferring the list of accessories of ladies' toilet found in the last verses of the, third chapter of Isaiah, into the vocabulary of a belle of the kraals, whose entire equipment consists of some beadwork, a leather apron, and a blanket! Mrs. Taylor has copied the whole revised Bible on her typewriter for the Bible society compositors; the proofs are sent back to South Africa for close scrutiny, and when finally' re turned corrected they set the press men at the Bible house free to do their share -of this great work. In 1879 the Zulus were chiefly no torious for having cut to pieces a col umn of choice British troops at Isan dula In Natal. One generation later we find some of them almost as eager for the revised Bible In their own tongue as were the English-speaking peoples to get their revised Bible in 1881. The life of the Zulus has been deeply influenced by the Bible. Noble Biblical conceptions have gripped pa gan minds, while many thousands of readers of this book have been chang ed by learning the way of life In Jesus Christ. RESOURCES OF MEXICO. The economic resources and the In dustrial possibilities of the republic of Mexico are alike beyond measure or estimate, writes A. G. Robinson in the American Review of Reviews for May, in an instructive article on "Mexico's Economic Resources." Its 787,000 square miles, politically di vided into twenty-seven states, three territories, and one federal district, now sustain a population of approxi mately 15,000,000. Under conditions of no more than fair development, the country could easily maintain 100, 000,000 people. In latitude, Mexico lies between the parallels 14 degrees, 30 minutes, 42 seconds north and 32 degrees, 42 min utes north. A large part of its area is within the tropics. Its surface con figuration, however, distinctly modi fies its temperature. It presents three fairly defined zones, thus: the hot country (tierra callente). in which are included the coast line and a com paratively limited interior area of low altitude: the temperate country (tierra templada), including the great central plateau ranging between 3,000 and 6,500 feet elevation above sea level; and the cold country (tierra fria), in which lie the higher slopes and levels, up to 12,500 feet. Above that are a few peaks of which three are perpetually snow-clad, Orizaba, Popocatepetl, and Ixtaccihuatl. The soil products of the various sones range from the distinctly tropi cal to those of the temperate zone, from bananas to corn and beans, from pineapples and cocoanuts to wheat. The forest growth ranges from ma hogany and other tropical trees to the oak .and the pine.

I lost my little dog oh a summer's day. -The butcher's boy came and he lured v him away. I mourned the little feller till my hair turned .gray," For I missed, his cunning pranks and capers. I searched for him high and I searched for him low. And there wasn't any place that I did not go. I couldn't find a trace of the little dog, though -I had advertised in all the papers. i But my little dog came back to me. And he sure was a sorrowful sight to He had changed' a whole lot, and I said: "O, Gee, What a difference lust a week can make."

(By Grace Kerrigan.) "John Qulncy Adams Bassett, editor and proprietor of the Chester "Gazette.' Job printing in all Its branches. Wood and produce taken era subscriptions. An Independent paper for the people. Terms, tl per year." .That was. the way his card read, and he was a good man. All editors of weekly papers are good men until their circulation rises above too. Then they I t-csui iu srww riuu ana villainous, ins "Gazette" had less than 300 subscribers, and would never have any more. Coa sequently Mr. Bassett would never be rich nor villainous. Now and then, when the editor could borrow a rig from some villager, he would drive out into the country for a day to solicit subscribers and bring back potatoes, strinf beans, turnips, apples or whatever else the farmers were willing to exchange. The discoverers of the art of print ing never figured that an editor would be driven to this, but as time went on the thing ran away from them and got beyond control. On one of these in termittent excursions Mr. Bassett stopped at the house of the" widow An drews. He had heard of her, but had never met her. He found a woman of about 40, spry and smart. She was run ning a little farm herself and making a success of It. She had only one boy of eight, and a nice boy he was. She was not a subscriber to the "Ga zette." but she was willing to become one, provided she could pay in produce. She aided the editor to load up what would have cost him about three dol lars in the village, and as it was get ting along toward dinner time she sug gested that he remain for the event. He did so, and when he finally took the road for home he mused: "By thunder, but that was a ban quet! Here is a widow only middle aged. She's a dandy of a cook. She is not bad looking. She has a snug little farm. She has only one child, and he is a nice little boy. She has been a widow five years." And then he went at it and oounted in all the widowers and old' bachelors that he could think of and broke out again: "Why, doggone it, there are no less than sixteen men that ought to be sparking .-that widow, and yet there Is the old Harry can be the matter!' A long- minute of puzzling, and then: "She can't have given it out that she doej not Intend to marry again. A widow seldom does that. They leave it an open question. I couldn't approach the question. because I have a wife and three children, but I'll bet a full page advertisement against a peck of tur nips that if the right man came along he could be stepfather to that lad." Half a mile further on it was: "Gave me a big bargain in vegetables and a banquet of a dinner besides! Say, J. Q., the 'Gazette must do some thing for her it must for sure. What shall it be?" It was two days before the scheme came to him. He was seated in his sanctum, shearing out copy from his exchanges, and the scheme looked so good to him that he uttered a hurrah that caused the apprentice boy to stick his head into the' room and ask: "Has any one paid In a dollar on Subscription?" "Of course not!" "Didn't know but they had. and you were going to give me half of it on the 'leven dollars you owe me. "James, It will never happen!" sol emnly announced the editor. "Never, unless you go Insane!" When the scheme was In type It read: "The editor of the 'Gazette wants a bachelor or a widower to "call at this c trite. Must not be over 50 years old, and a man of sterling character. Farm ers preferred. If a widower, he must not have more than three children at home, and must have reared a tomb stone over the grave of his wife. The first one to show up may get the prise which is valued at thousands of dol lars." the editor had been told a nundred times iat no one read advertisements any more, but there was the lie direct- He sold over a hundred extra papers on account of it. It was read or talki-i about for miles around. What could it be that included only the two classes and gave no one else a show? And bos could the "Gazette" arive away a prize worth thousands of dollars when it was a well known fact that the ed -tor had to borrow money almost every week to pay for his bundle of. white pa per? That ad was a catehy thing. People that had forgotten whether the editor died one or two years ago now stop ped to shake hands with .him and pump tor information. They got only sufficient to deepen the mystery. The widowers seem to figure that the idea was to sell them a patent churn, or something of the sort; but at length they began dropping in In a timid way. The eanor anew mem an. He was going to get that widow a hus band, but he'd got to be a good one. Those who were at all doubtful were turned down by fair excuses, but those who Tnisrht fin tbe bill were asked: "How Iqng has your wife been aeaa?" -i "Three years." "Has she got a headstone V "Had one up in four months." "How many children?": "Two girls and a boy." -"Think of getting married again?" "A little bit, mebbe. The children sure need the care of a mother, and I am tired of fussing around." "Yon married for love, dldnt you?" "Sure." "And never had any quarrels with vnnr wife? "Not a one. I hain't a quarrelsome man. "If you ever do marry again you wouldn't expect to love or be loved, as was the ease before?" "Not skassly. I don't think I'd be trying to. compose any odes to the moon. There'd be love, but It wouldn't be half froth.' "Urn! Una! TOa! I sea. the edfter weald usirn. -i7ia, I wu rujr you mm one ef the contastants for this Prise, astd yott shall Toeavr from nxj again.

If he fails, then No. s has his turn, and so on down." The widow was not to know that the "Gazette" had had anything to do with tae matter, she waa at work la her garden one day when No. 1 called aad introduced hinjiself and got aroaad asJ ucuoHcir si oe couia to hulks ner. w offer, of marriage. He was a good man, and she saw that he was honest and sincere, bat it was probably the' suddenness of the thins; that made her decline. No. 2 came two days later, and his offer was also rejected, hot ha went away with the highest respect for the widow. The two calls had set Mrs. Andrews to thlnklnav Whr not?. Sha had been a lone woman, depending upon nerseir ror years, where was the gala in living such a life? And the boy had overheard -enough to. know what was going on. and he said to her: "I'm tired of hired men here, and want a father." around No. 3 was a jolly, laughing farmer with a hustle on him. He drove up in a wagon. When he entered the house he led off with: "Mrs. Andrews, my name Is Rldge ly. Most everybody around here knows me. I want you and the boy to drive home with me. I'll bring you back inside of three hours." "But but what la It?" asked the surprised woman. Alter you nave seen my house and my children and my farm I am going to ask you to marry me." "But but "Oh. yea. it's sudden and all that but I'm not going to rush you to the preacher's today. I'm going to give you a fortnight to make inquiries and see if you can do better. I told my two children that I should bring you back with me for a short stay, and I guess they will have their hair combed and their faces washed." A month, later there was a marriage and it proved a happy one.

Is he any better off .V A thousand times, no. Iff th .hftlanpa .4- hanafl, J 1. Tj w wa..,a, aaaau iim.jW wF sinuen ana otners. And yet we all know many moth ers who wait upon their children or pay: others to wait upon them, T as minutely as if the children were phy sically helpless or feeble minded. Why do they do It? Partially. I think. because they foolishly and mistakenly believe that they are making the child happier. -And partly because they' are too shortsighted and impatient to make the extra effort required to start the child in habits of self help. It Is eas ier to button a child's shoes than to show him how. But it Is the kind of easier that always brings a harder later on. The other day I saw a young moth er push away a child's fingers which were struggling to button his coat, and heard her say impatiently, "Here, let me do it. We'll never get out of here If I wait for you." In so discouraging his effort to help himself she saved a moment for that day. and lost I know not how many momenta ror the future. So she show ed herself minute wise and hour fool ish. As soon as children begin to think and to play they can learn to help themselves. The Montessorl method has taught us that we can make the buttoning of a shoe and the untying of a knot as in u en 01 a ui version to a cniid as play ing with hts toys or tearing off the wall paper.

May The second day's meeting of the International Council of Women now being held In Rome, under the presidency of the Countess of Aberdeen developed an effort to de pose the countess from this position which she has held for twenty years. Mrs. May Wright Bewail, an Ameri can delegate from Maine, distributed to delegates a book entitled "The Gen esis of the International Council of Women." which was the subject of heated discussion at the morning ses sion. The purpose of the book,-it was declared, was to bring about the re moval of the countess from the presi dency of the organisation.

Watsoi; Sigma Delta Pal, ways represented in--the7-chief office. She declares that twenty years under the Countess of Aberdeen has grad ually transformed -the International Council Into a purely English organiza tion. The countess did not refer to this factional disturbance in her inaugural address. She laid particular' emphasis on the Impetus obtained by the wom an's movement throughout the world. "Women, said the countess. "being true to the golden rule, compre hend the needs of humanity better than men. The -wider interpretation of the golden rule means that charity in stead of limiting its activity to the giv inK of alms, should undertake the- pre vention of crime, pauperism' and de generacy, and the raising of the sub merged classes to a condition of self respect. The care of -the sick should go beyond the present day limitations and. enter the field of preventing- dis ease and promoting the health of body, mind and souL Especial stress should be laid on the duty of parents. Chil dren have a right to be welL If dis ease, crime. Ignorance' and vicious in dulgence operate against their good health, the parents must be educated to a higher conception of their obliga tions. "The sessions of .he- council, held in America will be ever memorable to those who experienced the warmth of the reception by. their.' slaters on the American continent.

Keeley's New Ego PamphletA Jfeeley Foe, Too. Bert Walker, a Republican editor and political leader in the Sixth dis trict, and also a Hodges -appointee, has published a few of the inner se crets of the harmony movement In Kansas and laid bare the hopes and ambitions of the men "behind the 'get together game In this state. Walker declares that the harmony program was predicated upon the hope of con trolling the lower house and deadlock ing the 1S15 legislature.- Capper was hypnotized by. the siren song of the harmony promoters. He was induced to ran tor governor that his fit -varieties of publications might make ex cuses for the-long list of old line Re publicans who were formerly offen sive to Capper, but who this year de sire to go to congress. They mast of necessity be-supported by Capper In this campaign. Walker's- blistering arraignment of Bristow and Capper ia one of the moat severe jolts which the' harmony cause has received in Kansas, It is the first real shot from the. regular Republi cans who have 'Stood quietly by and watched their-fellow workers try. to lead the.. Progressives bach to the party under a Briatow-Capper-Mor-gan combination that promised to as say "90 per cent progressive," put when analyzed showed that its "lead ers were bound and gagged. Walker's editorial gets right down to the ham and eggs of the" situation. It urges that the harmony program as out lined by the men who want lobs and political control offers no real relief and -that- Capper, "even if elected, would be a bound boy at the husking. "There are no progressive Repub licans to apeak- of ia the Republican party." -says -Walker. "The Progres sives have left it.-1 Bristow will find that he will get exactly what Craw ford got in, South Dakota. As for Capper, the only .reason he doesn't get at the primary exactly what Bris tow ia getting, is that the. stand-pat fixers are holding off the slaqghter ot Capper until November, so that hav ing him on the ticket, they can count on the Capital's support of a stand pat delegation for congress, for state offices and for the legislature, The Republican party In Kan sas 'is not going to get anywhere as long as its leaders stay in the timber urn mue s oiwnwaacKjng campaign. 1 mv aiiu uw w i,i ua-- uvic lot better when they see the shining helmets of the leaders out iri" front in L the open. u -The fellow- who merely isner- totbb- inn t m any (snKiwr good to his country-' It is' the big. strong, level headed fellow who brings his party to him who is of service to Ihis censtftuency.

'Secured the appointment of a spe cial committee to frame a compre hensive farm loan bill And so, after reading how Neeley has managed the nation's affairs in con gress and returned to Kansas and of fered the state troops for government aid in Mexico, the Wyandotte county admirer wrote a verse entitled The Modest Truth and dedicated the poem to the Hutchinson statesman.

AT STATE PRISON. .Charges of Cruelty Denied 'Not Serene as Under Codding. So Char ft ea that unusual and inhuman punishment is being administered to prisoners In the state penitentiary at Lansing-, are denied today by mem bers of the state board of corrections which this week investigated the charges and took the sworn testimony of a number of witnesses. The, water euro has not been used under the present administration, the board says. As soon as the use of the gag and straight Jacket was discovered by War den Botkin, their further use was pro hibited. Many employees and officers at the penitentiary were summoned as wit nesses before the board. Their sworn testimony was taken and is being transcribed by a stenographer. Among the witnesses were several former em ployees and men who have seen service under both, the uoaamg ana noimn administrations. Seven times under the Botkin ad ministration, the straight jacket and gag have been used in extreme cases of punishment This method was dis covered some months ago by Warden Botkin, the evidence showed, and the method has since been abolished Both the water cure, straight Jacket and gag were frequently used under former administrations and in the last few years, witnesses testified. fc.m ployees who have been in the state's service at the penitentiary for a num ber, of years, stated that tne punisn ment inflicted at this time is more humane than at any time in several years. A charge to the effect that the deputy warden had interfered with the work of the prison chaplain, was investigated. The chaplain testified the charges were not true and that he had met with no interference on the part of the deputy warden. MAY QUIT JULY 1. Congress Is Planning on Adjournment by That Date.

Deputy Sheriff J. .J.- Holman made a swift tackle, however;' which brought the: prisoner to the' ground before he could get away. The weapon pictured here is a trib ute to the evil ingenuity of its maker. Its weight and murderous points are made up of tobacco tins discarded by the other prisoners and hoarded until enough were available to work to gether with bits of -cigar box and a length of steel wire taken from a pris on cot. The whole thing, which is about thirty inches long, is wrapped with strips from a jail blanket. The projecting point fastened about mid way of the weapon is solidly bound and has been pounded flat and sharp. Senator Lippttto task and the Rhode Island senator responded that Senator Stone waa placing bis words in a njilse light. "Oh, I know what the senator meant." continued Stone. "He meant to charge the president with the death 01 zoo innocent Mexicans tninx 01 11 Innocent Mexicans at Vera Cruz. "The Rhode Island senator seems to regard those Mexican snipers who were firing on. our boys in violation of all the rules of -warfare as Innocent Mexicans'. Why, all the. country ap proves of what the president, did at Vera -Cruz with the possible exception of the senator 'from Rhode Island. I neither condone Villa s acts nor do I agree with the Rhode Island sen ator who seems, to approve of the acts of Huerta. a man guilty of treason and whose hands are red with the blood or his chieftain. The Only Means at Hand. "The senator says we were hasty at Vera Crux because a German vessel was approaching laden with arms and munitions of war for Huerta and his army. I stand Here to approve what was done. -The president was taking the only means to enforce the ultima tum and make Huerta apologize for what he had done. "The senator 'from Rhode Island ad vises the administration it should have kept quiet and remained Inactive until rapid firing cannon, field guns and Mauser rifles with millions of rounds of ammunition had been delivered into the hands of the men who would fire at our flag and our soldiers when they landed at Vera Cruz. The senator seems to-be deeply sympathetic with the Mexicans." Llppitt Interrupted: "Does the sena tor also approve the lifting of the em bargo on arms for the rebels in the north of Mexico? They are Just as surely to be turned against us." "The senator can defend Huerta If he wishes," replied Senator Stone. "He can put his senatorial arms about him and hold him up as one deserving praise." Senator Stone said that if Senator Lippitt "had confined his crit icism of the lifting of the embargo along the Rio Grande, to a prediction as to what might happen If the United States goes to war with all Mexico, he might have been in the right.

Although the new Massachusetts ballot law specifically, prohibits the printing or. distribution of sample ballots, the attorney gen eral's office has held that the new law does not repeal a former section of the statutes providing for the. printing of ballots and that the distri bution of sample ballots is legal. It Is probable,- however, that the question will, be. checked up to the courts be fore the November election. The opinion from the attorney gen eral's of flee, was sent to Charles 8esv sions, -secretary of state. Sessions nas been swamped with inquiries from county clerks asking about the provir i sion prohibiting the distribution -of sample ballots.- The ruling of the at torney general will probably, mean; that the county clerks will be instruct ed to order the printing of sample bal-' lots this year. Section 3262 of the general statutes of 190 provide for the printing of sample ballots. This section was not repealed by the. 11S legislature. "If. such section is repealed by implica tion," says the opinion, "then there remains no statute providing for the printing and distribution of the bal-. lota" So there you are. No-sample ballots. 1 No general election ballots. And the question will probably go to J tne-supreme court Tor a decision. "I have examined the provisions of the 1911 law referred to and also the general election law," says S. N. Brew4 ster, assistant attorney genera!, who prepared the' opinion; "and have come to the conclusion that it will be nec essary for the county clerk to pre pare and distribute sample ballots the same as before the 1913 law was passed: Subdivision 8 of sec tion 3262 of the general statutes of 1909' makes it mandatory upon the county clerk to have printed not to exceed fifty exact copies of the offi cial ballot for each precinct, such bal lots to -be printed on paper of-other color than white.- and these ballot? are for the Inspection of candidates and; their agents and for distribution through, each-of the party-organisations." .r. ,1 Acting upon the advice of the at torney general's office, Secretary of. State Sessions will probably ..advise the, county- clerks to print and distrib ute' the sample ballots for the Novem ber election. AT THE COVIES. To TeH Ycu All Ahzti fib Co.

An investigation Just completed by Sheriff Kiene at the Hutchinson re formatory shows that Adams, who has made every effort to conceal his iden tity, was confined there until 1910 for an unusually atrocious attempt on the life of a railway station agent at Grainfleld, in Gove county, in 1908. With two companions Adams, who was convicted under the name of Christian Montague, made a raid on the railway station and bound the agent to the rail road tracks while they sacked his of fice. They left him to be run over by a. train which was almost due and it was only by a miracle that he managed to unfaBten himself in time to escape death under the engine's wheels. Strangely enough the, reformatory authorities saw fit to parole him after two years and he had been at liberty more than three years when he got into troublo in Topeka.

This corner has been a landmark for years. On It once stood the town well, frequented by thirsty men, gossiping women and youngsters with buckets. For forty years an old building, scarred by the usages of time, stood ready to fall at the crossroads. Last fall the build ing was torn down and a 140,000 structure was erected, completed this month, by J. W. Maxwell. Formerly Mr. Kohl's drugstore was like a- burr all right inside, but un attractive without. He has been sell ing pills and castor oil and soda wa ter at Tenth and Kansas avenue for 20 years. Now he has a modern pharmacy with a sunny 25-foot front. He is to install an onyx soda fountain electri cally lighted and scientifically cooled. He has new stock and a store as neat as the proverbial pin.

SCOTS i I The weather in April for Kansas as a whole was unusually favorable, ac cording to the report issued .today from the local weather bureau. The report reads: There was plenty of moisture for present needs in nearly all counties, sufficient sunshine and warm weather to start vegetation nicely and permit of an unusual amount of outdoor work, and no frosts or freezes late enouarh in the month to do any ma terial damage anywhere except in the southeastern and south-central coun- ties, where considerable fruit, alfalfa' and early vegetables were injured to a small extent by a freeze on tne sin and 9th. The first half of the month was ab normally cool, with freezing weather in all parts on the 8th and 9th, but this deficiency was more than made op for by the warm weather of the last two weeks, and the month averaged above normal over, two-thirds of the state. The mean temperature for the state was 55 degrees, which was A fraction of a degree above normal. The highest temperature recorded was 99 degrees, at Farnsworth on the 21st; the lowest, 9 degrees, at Leoti on the 8th. The average precipitation for the eastern third of the state, 1.94 inches; the middle third, 1:4 inches; the western third, 1.87 inches, and the state average, 1:76 Inches, which is 0.79 inch below normal and makes it the eighth driest April on record. The deficiency in precipitation was general in all except a few western counties, but the average for the month was greater than that- of any of the three previous months of the year. Very few parts of the state, ex cept the central counties, reported less than an, inch of rain during the month. Most of the two eastern tiers of counties and several scattered coun ties in the western half reported from 2 to 3 Inches. The least monthly total reported was 0.10 inch at Hutchinson, and the greatest, 3.58 at Oswego. In the western has of the state con siderable damage was caused by high winds blowing the soil. Just after the middle of the month, but these were followed in most counties by soaking rains, and at the close of the month crops that were up were looking fine- in an parts or the state, and spring work was well In hand.

Ths slow ness of the prairie grass In starting this spring is beginning; to cause con siderable alarm among the farmers and stockmen. At a distance the pas tares appear to be in good condition, hut upon closer examination it is found that the grass has not started and that the greenappearance is caused by a heavy growth of weeds. In some places a few small clumps of grass can be seen starting, but in most pas tures the prairie grass seems dead. The cause for this is attributed to last season's drouth. Pastures that were pastured heavily last summer are in the worst condition. Practically all stock has been turned out and seem to be doing well on the edible weeds and bluegrass. We wish to thank our many friends for their kindness, sympathy and beau, tiful flowers during our recent be reavement. MRS. C. W. SMITH, MR. MRS D. A. JOHNSON. MR. MRS. J. W. SMITH. (Advertisement.) T. R. TELLS OF TRIP Party Spent 60 Bays la Canoes on a River. The Colonel Had Fever and Injured His Lea;. Para. BrasiL May 6. rCoL Theodore Roosevelt In an, interview with the Associated. Press on board the steamer Dunstan. on which he had Just ar rived from Menace, gave many In teresting details of his exploring trip through the wlias or rsrazii. n m. "During our trip, George K. Cherry and Leo C. MiUer, the naturalists, collected' over 2,100 birds and mam mals and a few reptiles, batrachlans and fish, chiefly from regions not hitherto traversed by any collector and many representing species hitherto unknown to science. "The most Important part of our trip was geographical. In the ex ploration of an unknown river we have put on th map a river nearly one thousand miles long, the exist ence of which Is not hinted at on pub lished maps. The upper part of Its course was utterly unknown to any body except the wild Indians along Its' banks, while the lower part was known to a few rubber men only. The river takes its rise In the high up lands of the western part of the state of Matto G rosso. Just north of the 13th parallel of south latitude and between longitude 69 and 60 west of Green wich. "We embarked in latitude IS de grees, 1 minute south and longitude 60 degrees 15 minutes west "The river ran with many doublings and twistlngs almost due north Into the river Madiera where Its entrance was at about 5 degrees SO minutes south latitude. Traveled in Canoes. "We were sixty days In canoes. In latitude 7 degrees south we passed the last rapids and reached the steam er when we were but 36 hours from Manaos. "In latitude 10 degrees, 58 minutes south, we struck the mouth of a big affluent flowing from the right and In tetitude 9 degrees, 49 minutes south we came to the mouth of another big affluent flowing from the left. "We were during six weeks at steady labor, making not more than a couple of miles a day.. The last part of this time we were living -on half rations. "Of the seven canoes with which we started, five were lost In the rapids. One of our men was drowned and two others, including Kermit, nar rowly escaped death by drowning. "Under the strain one man went mad. He finally murdered one of his comrades and fled into the wilderness. "We saw no Indians, but twice heard them. While Colonel Rondon, the chief of the Brazilian mission. was out alone hunting his dog was killed by arrows. The dog's death probably saved Colonel Rondon's Ufa. "I had a severe bout of fever and while working around a canoe in the rapids, bruised my leg, which deveL oped Into a bad abscess, but I am now practically all right." ARKANSAS CUTS NEW GHANNEX Santa Fe Must Build Long Bridge Near Ban tan ta. Dodge City, Kan., May 6. The Santa Fe is having trouble with its Cimarron Valley branch on account of the heavy rains. C. H. Bristol, gen eral superintendent, came here Tues day and left with Superintendent H. A. Tlce for the washout at the Cimar ron river bridge, five miles the other side of Santanta. There 1,800 feet of the dump went out. There was a 504-foot bridge over the river, which is usually only a narrow stream. The flood cut a new channel-for the cur rent and the railroad la considering building another 604-foot bridge to Join the old bridge and in this way span the new channel of the river. There are sixty carloads of stock at Elkhart awaiting shipment. They lorm nair or a large shipment which was started last week and were driven into Elkhart from Oklahoma. BALLASTING UNION PACIFIC Oils Faces Water Problem Wells Gave Oat. Ellis, Kan., May 6. The ballasting on the Union Pacific track west of here is going along much more rapidly than had been expected. There are a number of gangs at work, and the fills are being raised with dirt taken from the cuts, which are being en larged and in several places lowered. Trains are sometimes delayed as they have to stop on account of the loosen ed track or to leave off men or sup plies for the working crews. The city well gave out here again recently and It was necessary for the city to borrow the fire pump from the railroad switch engine. It was put down into the well and a traction en gine was then run up to the well and the pump was run In this way for a time. After a while It was taken out and while the water seems to be good, there does not seem to be a sufficient volume of it to furnish the city. The water question here seems to be a hard one to handle. MINERS ADJOURN. Favor Special Ejection to Select New President. Pittsburg. Kan. May 6. After a two weeks' session during which Alex Howat, who has been the president of the organisation for the past six years stepped down by request. the miners convention cioaea Tuesday. The stepping up of Bernard Ferrigan from vice president to take the place of Howat Is likely not to be permanent if the demands of a number of the delegates are listened to. They want to call an election for choosing of a new president. There will be no change in the con tracts as compared with the one that has been in effect for the past two years. There will be no change in tne scale of wages demanded by the miners. At present they are paid 78 cents per ton and this rate will be satisfactory if included in the contract made be tween the miners and the operators. A referendum vote taken several weeks ago decided that point. If the contract demanded by tne miners is adopted, the working agree ment will extend to Sept. 1 of each year instead of ending on July 31 as now is the case. The miners ask to meet the operators thirty days prior to the expiration of the contract. Another effort will be made to se cure the enactment of a law provid ing for the election of the state mine inspector instead of that of official appointment by the governor. A committee of two men, Alex Howat and M. Hopkins, was appointed to represent the miners at Topeka dur ing the next session of the legislature and endeavor to induce the solons to pass such a law.
