According to a note found on Barr's body they went to a leafy bower in the woods. She re fused to kiss him and he asked her if she did not want to be his sweet heart any more. There was a struggle and, says the note, "the girl died of heart failure or fright, as I surely could not kill the one I thought the most of in the world." Late that night the families of the two lovers became alarmed and search was begun. Professor G. C. Butler, superintendent of schools here, re turning from Wheaton, by automobile, saw Barr plunging along the road that night and said: "Hello, Barr."

The work of the mediators who are considering the differences between the United btates and Mexico came temporarily to a halt today.- All seemed going well and ev eryone was optimistic and the Mexican delegates believing they had reached an accord "vith the Americans, were about to issue' a formal statement ex planatory of their position on the land question regretting that It was impos sible for them to guarantee as to the action of a new and sovereign and rec ognised government. But the Mexi can delegates today said they had con cluded to Issue no pronuociamento. They were not less optimistic, they said, but were less certain of the wis dom of the promised declaration at this critical moment. Then, when every one. amazed at this sudden step, was speculating upon the reason for it and the air was filled with rumors, the American delegates dashed up In their automobiles. There was a hurried mounting of the stair case to the room of the mediators, the door was slammed and a prolonged and earnest "conversation" was en tered upon.. It was obvious that there must be some more definite assurance respecting the land question to meet the declared purpose of President Wil son. Precisely how it was to be worked out or how it could be worked out, was not altogether clear, but little doubt was felt by those participating that It would be worked out.

He ww always aure of an admiring and at tentive audience of two small boys, who listened with close attention to the wonderful yarns of camp and bat tle field without batting an eye. They laughtd heartily at the right place and looked duly impressed at the lmpree- aive points. The good soldier was a good story teller. As he stroked his long black whiskers and spat on the nearest ant hill, he gave the details wherein he was the central figure. And after ha was through, the little boy would sneak around and pinch hie latest issue of the National Trib une and take it to their mother to "read out loud." In that way they could tell whether or not the story teller had missed any of the details of the last "Si and Shorty" installment, which he had seised bodily and con verted to his own use. And the little beys never gave good Uhole Charley a hint that they were "onto" him as big as a house. He told it much bet ter than mother could read it anyway, and his substitution of himself for "Si" rather Improved the story. And it was Uncle Charley and his rendu tion of McElroy's masterpiece that gave at least one of those little boys a taste for war stories that stays with him to this time. Whether it is a ro mance or a plain statement of facta, loaded down with dates, names, posi tions of regiment and casualty lists, there is a fascination about the war story that is gripping to nearly all boys, of all ages. And a boy dearly dier was a little boy doing a man's work. The boy soldier as a rule tells a -better story, aa he saw the conflict from a different slant than did the ma ture patriot who went forth at a time of life when he realised the dangers ahead of him, and carried in addition to the affairs of the battle, the worries of poverty and hardship that fell to the let of the; wife and children he left at home.

R., and at the headquarters in the state house plans were made for receiving the national, commander when he arrived in Topeka this morn ing. It was 6 o'clock Monday evening when some one slipped the tip te Col. Har rison that Commander Gardner was in Topeka. At -first Col. Harrison doubted the report. Then he went te the hotel and inquired if the national comman der was registered. A clerk, who was carefully safeguarding the news of Col. Gardner's arrival, finally admitted that the national Q. A. R. leader was at din ner. Then Col. Harrison rushed to the dining room and the commanders of the national and state G. A. R. spent an hour discussing the plans for the big Topeka, celebration.

(Signed) "BARB." Body Is Found. .Downers Grove. UL, May 26. Reginald A. Bahr, who has been hid ing in the woods here for two days, and whose sweetheart since childhood was found dead Monday, was killed this morning by a train at Lisle, three mUes west of here. It was re ported to Sheriff Kuhn of Dupage county that Bahr had thrown himself in front of the train. A statement in the young nan's pocket corroborated, according to the report, the disjointed explanation of the killing of Miss Florence Bentley which Bahr gave to two boys last night In the note Bahr declared that Miss Bentley's death was an accident and that he never thought of doing her any harm. When he found that she was killed he was driven beside him self by grief and fright. This is in accordance with the statement attributed to Bahr by two boys who were among those search ing for Bahr last night. The boys, Melvin Binder and Guy Slmonson, said that Bahrs pale face suddenly peered out at them from some bushes. He told them brokenly, they said, that he had attempted to put his arm around Miss Bentley and that she pushed him away and that in a trifl ing struggle her neck had been brok en. The boys tried to detain Bahr but he fled. The death of Mias Rent- ley took place Saturday night. The body was found yesterday. Mean time searcn was made ror her and Bahr, who had started home with her from the home of Bahr's aunt Saturday night. Gift to the German Ptoonle.

Tim TOPESA DAILY CTAT2 JOTJISIAE-. TUESDAY ISVIiKq HAY 3, 1S14. f IN SIXTH DISTRICT J. B. Connelly Compares East ern Heat With Kansas Wind. Simpson, With 300 People, Has Electric Light System. Colby, M-y 28. Congressman J. It Connelly of the Sixth district owns the Colby Free Press. While in Washington he writes 'for his paper under the heading;: "Editorials by the Boss." He likes the east better than the prairie country of Kansas on account of the absence of high winds. He wonders what there is about the west to hold people, and while think ing about it he takes a stroll in the country around Washington and sees hundreds of acres of land that are nothing but clay heaps, with only fer tility enough to grow little spindling grass. After seeing much of the country in the east he imagines that the eastern heat would soon put a Western man out of business if he de pended on doing open manual labor ror a living. Mr. Connelly goes on and says: "So the people of the west should know that while they have the wind and dust to contend with, is is but little worse than the torrid heat and the poverty cursed soil of a Treat deal of the eastern country-" Simpson an Old Town. Simpson. May 26. This town has been a trading point for more than thirty years. Shanks Co.. the old est hardware business house on the Beloit-Solomon City branch of the Union Pacific having rounded out 32 years as a Arm. In these years the place grew slowly. Now it has about 300 population, with cement walks leading through town. It has a good system of electric lighting, the power being furnished from Concordia. There are two banks, two elevati-rs, flouring mill, two general stores, two garages, hardware, furniture and im plements, newspaper, lumber yard, schools and churches, drugs and har ness shop. Simpson is largely a farmers' town, the trade coming mostly from Cloud and Mitchell county. The town itself is principally in the latter county. The Farmers' union conducts a large general store, lumber yard, elevator and coal yard: also the telephone system. The tuwn is surrounded by J ncn a country as me ooiomon val ley affords. Many farmers are cattle feeders. The Shanks Bros, and James Robertson are heavy feeders every year whether the com crop is a fail ure or not. It is estimated that no less than $75,000 was paid out this last season for corn to feed stock tributary to Simpson, James Robert son having paid out no less than $25, 000 for corn himself. There is paid out by the Simpson business men over $25,000 annually to the farmers for their surplus pro duce and cream. The farmers' store business for 1913 aggregated $35,000. J. W. Over man is president: E. M. Brown, man ager; F. C. Loop, secretary. Simpson is one of the small towns that can boast of being incorporated. CORN GOOD IN SMITH CO. Alfalfa and Wheat Harvest to Begin Soon To Build School House. Cedar, May 26. The farmers in this vicinity have an extra good stand of corn and everything indicates a big crop. Owing to the freezing weather and late frosts, the fruit crop will be a partial failure, although indications point to a part of a crop of apples. The alfalfa harvest, for the first cut. ting, will start this week, and the crop is fine. Farmers who are supposed to be competent judges, say the al falfa will make at least one and one half tons per acre. This harvest is three weeks later than usual and will be followed by the wheat harvest, which will be abundant. There will be a shortage of harvest hands. Bonds amounting to $6,500, for the erection of a school house here, were voted at a special election held re cently. The board of education now is receiving bids for contracts. The Cedar Roller Flour Mills is do ing a big business. It is owned and operated by Olson and Haynes. This is a five-roll mill. The plant is lo cated on the Solomon river and Is valued at $10,000. It is run by water power. NO MEN FOR THE OFFICE. Only Women Candidates for Smith County Register of Deeds. Smith Center, Kan., May 26. All three parties, Republican, Democrat and Socialist, have women candidates for register of deeds in this county, the men seem disposed to give them right of way. Miss Edna Zimmerman of this city has been the recognized Republican candidate for many months and the Democrats nominated Mrs. Jim Amis of Lebanon at their conven tion two weeks ago. Saturday the So cialists in convention nominated Mrs. Draper of Cedar for the place. All three ladies have announced their in tention to make an active canvass. STOP KATY PROCEEDINGS.

Manhattan Trunk Mystery May Cause Hunt. Manhattan, Kan., May 26. The po lice have been unable to find any trace of Charles Smith, supposed to be the owner of the mysterious trunk found on the banks of the Kansas river here Saturday. The police examined the contents of the trunk, which contained two suits of clothing, an overcoat, some underclothing, some letters and a tel-e.-raDh instrument. Some of the let ters had been written to Smith by his two sisters living at Konowa, OKia., and mailed to him at Chillicothe, Mo. The last one was mailed May 11. From the contents of the letters it is easily determined that Smith was a student at a business college In CnUll cothe at the time. A message from the Chillicothe police failed to throw light on the mystery. It is believed Smith came here, was either murdered or committed sui cide, and thrown into the river. If some definite word is not received soon the river may be dragged. TO HARVEST ALFALFA. Crop Is Excellent Wheat Heading in Phillips County: Phillipsburg. May 26.

The Kaws tost their thirteenth consecutive game by going down to defeat, before Pitcher Luhrsen of the Sioux City club here Monday. "Pepper"- Clarke. who was on the mound for Topeka. was air tight until the fifth railing and then the Indians made 11 runs during the rest of the game. Holm berg pitched the eighth and ninth innings, but was no better than Clarke. The final score was 12 to 2 in favor of Sioux City. The' Kaws played well and hit good, but Luhrsen was effective with men on bases and did not allow a run after the second inning. The Kaws' field ing was spectacular at times and this had much to do with holding down the score of the local club. The Kaws started off with a run In the first inning, when Cochran led off with a single and stole second. Coch ran stole on Forsythe's single and the latter stole second. Tallion and French walked in the second inning, and the former scored on Clarke's two-base hit. Clarke pitched gilt-edged ball in the first four innings, but poor support, coupled with poor fielding, allowed four runs in the fifth inning. The Indians continued their march with terrific batting in the following in nings and piled up the big score. Wakefield in center made four diffi cult catches and Lemon at short ac cepted seven hard chances without a bobble. An unusual double play from Forsythe to McAllister to Cochran in the first inning stopped what appeared to be a rally. The score: SIOUX CITY. Players AC -H. H. P. A. E. Cooney, 2b 3 2 11 6 0 J.

Lewis, Official Scorer.J Sandy Griswold of the Omaha World Herald says that Manager Dale Gear gave out information Saturday that he intended to have a good baseball club even if it was necessary to pawn the family Jewels. According to Sandy, Manager Gear says the race is too lop sided and that he intends to get a team which will not allow the name Topeka to stay on the bottom of the list. Gear threatened to release players now on the team and get others who will de liver the goods. Sandy attacks the in field but it appears to this department that the attack should be made on the pitching staff. Onlv last week the St. Joseph papers were telling about how strong Jack Holland .was for organized baseball. Sunday morning, one or tne same pa pers printed a big story telling about Jack Holland writins- a letter to Presi dent Tip O'Neill, requesting the said Tip to ask the major lor permission 10 withdraw from under their protection, that the Western be at liberty to make peace with the Feds so as not to lose any more players. This appears to us as a proposition of Jumping from the pan into the fire. To withdraw from the National Asssociation and make peace with the Federals would only cause the majors to make a raid on the Western League. As the condi tion exists, this department can see no way to prevent loss of the classy play ers of the league' to one or the other until the Federals are induced to agree on a peace pact with organized base ball. Holland Is making the most noise because he has lost a greater number of players and can't be blamed for "hollering." but why cause the entire league to suffer on account of one man's misfortune? At least one man who Jumped Hol land's team is a contract Jumper. The others Jumped because nothing held them but the reserve clause and this has been declared illegal by the courts. The case of "Winnebago" Johnson, in the federal court at Chicago will soon settle the contract Jumping proposition and then If this decision favors or ganised baseball. Holland, may et some of the Jumpers to return. Hot land has threatened to start suit against the Federals-and the "Jump ers" but that costs money and he hasn't filed any suit either. Perhaps there are no courts in St. Joseph. A number of ke writers of the cir- Eat BUTT BREAD while you're in Topeka then tell its excellence. Just a Word To Topeka Ladies Don't attempt to bake bread for your out-of-town visitors. Of all times, you want your table to look well, you want good bread without doubt, worry or guess work. i

The Omaha, St. Joe and Sioux City writers are the ones principally referred to. We are not claiming anything of the kind but we do claim a better club than the stand ing indicates, and if the club ever breaks that losing streak, GOOD NIGHT. Louis Drucke, released by Manager Dale Gear, is having trouble in trying to pitch a nine inning game with Min neapolis of the American Association. Only last Saturday It was necessary to relieve him. Josh Billings, the Grantville hoy with Cleveland, returned to the game Saturday after having been out sev eral weeks on account of a spiked knee. Polly McLarry of Louisville, who has been out of the game on account of a spiked knee. Saturday was used as a pinch hitter. He is not able to take his place' in the regular lineup. Pitcher Wheatley, formerly of Sioux City, now with Kansas City, was given another drubbing Sunday. Looks like "thirty" for him. Pnm attn1jincA ami othnr nnsatis- tafnnr ivindltinna are reDorted to have caused the managers of the rejuvenat ed Western Association 10 oegin uua lng abandonment of the league. The owners at Muskogee. Ok., turned the team over to the league last week. Jack Hendricks can't help but show hi. .Uai tr ranrn h ha bouarht many players but he surely Is getting results as he has the Indianapolis club in third place. Rube Marquard was considered a has been a few weeks ago but his perform ance against the Pirates made him look about as good as ever. Omaha Bee: Harry Hicks, the little southpaw twirler, who has served on the mound for the Rourkes for the last two. years, has been released by "Pa" Rourke. Where Hicks will be sent to is as yet uncertain, but it is an as sured fact that the southpaw will be recalled to Omaha in due time. Hicks went bad last year because of illness and aDDarently has not recovered his old skill. A few months with a team of lower order should give him an op portunity to 'come back once more and be a winner for the Rourkes. Charlie French, the recently deposed second baseman, has signed with Salt Lake in the Union Association. The former Denver second sacker should not remain in that company, provid ing, of course, he recovers the full usefulness of his crippled leg George Hughes of the Grand Rapids club, former Jobber, is clouting the ball at a .370 clip in the Central League. Dayton is making a runaway race of It in the Central in spite of the fact that the Grand Rapids team won the pennant last year. Denver News: With Zamloch appar ently going at his true stride, if his last two appearances can be taken as a criterion, and the addition of Hairing-; ton, who according to all reports la sure to prove a valuable acquisition to the Bears pitching staff.

PCXXi LEASED WIRE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal Is a member of tba jMaocfated Presa and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news w ganlsatlnn for the exclusive afternoan publication In Topeka rTha newa la received In The 8tate Jour nal building ever wires for this sole par No outsider, presumably, will have rthe temerity to intervene in Ulster. Indications are that the Kaws are labout to break a world's record aa to ithe number of games lost successively. And the political stream that Colonel Roosevelt has embarked upon again la a river of doubt all right as to its terminal. 'i Those who expected the A. B. C. mediators to move with the slowness that Is proverbial among Latin-Americans, are not disappointed. At any rate, Judge Ben Llndsey gar nered a lot of valuable free advertis ing out of the refusal of John D. Rockefeller, jr.,' to see' him. Regardless of what the weather records may be, they are always being broken. Praise, though, is seldom passed around for these activities. There ia at least one policewoman that's a normal representative of her sex. She's the Chicago copperette, who's afraid to go home in the dark. No doubt about Doc Cook's gener osity as a rival in the field of explora tion. He is witling to concede that T. R. discovered a river in South America. When the Mahometa at home among the Bull Moose clan wish to see the mountain they have to to it. And another great pilgrimage to Oyster Bay 'a under way. Summer seems to have landed with both feet, which makes 1914 famous in these parts for being a year that was considerably minus of spring weather, of the old fashioned variety. This la also the season of the year when all of the grave questions of state and society are settled decisive ly and emphatically by the high school and college orators at their com mencement exercises. 1 Conditions are becoming normal again in the baseball world In one important itspect. Ty Cobb's batting Is improving, and he is getting close to the head of the swatsnen's class in the American League. Seven of Germany's army aviators fell to their death last week. This would seem to Indicate that the aero planes used by the German army are equally as dangerous 'as the famous dirigibles of the-Zeppelin type. As there was every reason to antici pate, the duel between former Governor Stubbs. and Warden Botkin over the punishments that have and have not been inflicted at the state's peniten tiary has developed into one of words. News frcm Washington that the session of congress may continue all summer is of the sort to arouse much enthiulajun and hnnn in the h rt nf the patriots at home who are bent on l prying sundry and divers members of congress from their jobs. Traveling men of the old fashioned variety are evidently no longer on the job. The Kansas and Oklahoma mem bers of the United Commercial Trav elers' association have gone On record in faar of the proposed amendment to the. United States constitution pro viding for national prohibition. If there is anything in the maxim popular with the old fashioned farm ers that a good wheat year means a poor corn year, the corn crop for 1914 won't amount to much in comparison with some that have preceded 'It. But maybe this ia a rule that will be noted for Its exception this year. Here's hoping, anyhow. According to the Kansas bankers, who see nothing but prosperity ahead, the business outlook is even better than that of the crops. As a matter of fact, though, what would the busi ness outlook be were It not for the bumper crops in sight? In the realm of prosperity in this country, the crops are the thing.

They're rallying 'round, the flag In Topeka this week, they're rallying once again,, and they're still shouting the battle cry of freedom. It Is not the same one exactly that- they en couraged each other with when they overwhelmed Lee at Gettysburg. But the Boys In Blue that are left today have their shoulders to the wheel of progress that Is slowly but surely grinding the' grist of a freedom -that will accord to -all humanity. In this land at any rate. Its just deserts. They are the patriarchs at the council ta bles, where are being shaped a destiny along more righteous lines', for the nation that they preserved at such a terrible but willing sacrifice. That Topeka bids them welcome to their annual state encampment and the ceremonies and festivities incident to the dedication of Memorial Hall, the enduring and magnificent monu ment that the state has builded to their memory, goes without saying. Topeka not only bids them welcome, but also feels highly honored by their presence. Bestowing honor; where honor is due, is not only a pleasure. 'It Is a privilege that Is all too rare. There has been a no more .signifl cant occasion in the whole history of Kansas. It is a tribute of a thought ful commonwealth to the men who have made it. When the Civil War was over, not only did the sons of Kansas who had gone to the front re turn to its plains and valleys. With them came' thousands 'and' thousands of brothers in arms from other states. Verily did they fulfill the vision of Isaiah. They beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into prunlnghooks. They began a battle with nature, whose vicissitudes were as severe and burdensome at times, as were those in their death-struggles with men. But they conquered. No other outcome was possible. The men who defeated the soldiers of the south were fit for any task. The Journey might be long, and the way might be hard, but victory was cer tain to be theirs. And what a victory they won on these prairies! It Is the Kansas of to day, a land o'erflowlng with milk and honey, a state where men are more equal in station and wealth than they are in almost any other section of the country, or the world; an Eden where there is enough for all who dwell therein, and a surplus for others who are not so fortunately situated. Compared with wonderful Kansas, their. own handiwork, Memorial Hall is not, after all, much of a monument for these heroes of peace as well as war; grand though it is. and com bining as it does a great beauty with a greater utility. It typifies, though, the remarkable accomplishments of these sturdy men, both on the battle field and the larger field of life." It is the only kind of a medium through which a people can express in concrete form their appreciation and acknow ledgement of the debts they owe to such benefactors. How fine it is, too, that this memo rial has been built and is to be dedi cated while many of" those it honors are still alive. Too often is It the case that recognition follows 'the funeral procession well to the rear. Some Bay .that this 1b to be the last big stand of the old boys in. Kansas. Be that as it may. the good Lord is to be thanked that so many of them have been spared to participate in it. And it is to be hoped that they will have one of the best times in their long and eventful lives. AN UNBIASED OPINION. A grateful relief from interested and biased arguments on' public own ership is found In a statement In. a recent issue of the Outlook by Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, president of the Canadian Pacific railway. Sir Thomas has no government ownership problem of his own, so he may not be charged with self-interest. He as a railroad man, is happy because from the first the railways and the government of Canada have maintained a sort of partnership that has conserved the in terests of the public as well as those of the carriers. And he thinks we shall be happier In our transportation relations when we realize that "gov ernment ownership or private owner ship is not the fundamental thing. The fundamental thing is honest ser vice on one side and honest compen sation on the other." Evidently with some current facts of railway history and the trend of regulation in mind. Sir Thomas con cludes his interview with this sapient comment: "Clearly, the Interests of the public must rank first; but the very fact that the public accepting the service is also to be final authority In the matter of compensation would make It as unfair and Improper to have that compensation established at a figure, below its value, to the detriment of the shareholders, as it would be if the' transaction were be tween two business men of recognised integrity." The most radical railway batter, as the Electrical Journal says, can take- as little exception to this statement as' can be taken to the summing up of the municipal ownership proposi tion as outlined above. s THE FATHERS' CLUB. "In Council Bluffs. Iowa, a most in teresting club has been formed. ac cording; to an article in the June Wo- Home Companion. "This hi the Fathers' Club, an organization of average men, of average income, in an average small city, and its pur pose is to study fatherhood. It has) printed a circular explaining its pur pose and declaring- two slogans; 'Make the- indifferent different,'' and 'What sort of a father are your On its programs it publishes this senti ment: There are doubtless many way in which men may make a new heav en and a new earth of their dwelling place, but the simplest of all ways is through a fond and individual care of each child.' "Sometimes It invites mothers to at tend, its meetings. -More often the members of the club reach out into other sections of the city and draw in men of other interests, members of the bar, physicians, manufactur ers, railroad employees, draymen. The club's programs discuss about equally the problems of the public school as the tax payers see them, the father's duty toward the teacher, and the problems of the father in his home, his duty toward his individual children. One of its purposes is to 'give the child full measure of pa rental protection,' and this includes home teaching in sex hygiene. "It is to be hoped that there will be more 'fathers' clubs in the United States before 1914 closes hundreds of them. More and more men will attend the meetings of the parent teacher associations. These will be the fathers awakened to a realization that they don't want the most sacred function of the human being dis cussed before their sons and their daughters in the public schools. They will educate their own sons, and their wives will educate their daughters." Journal Entries A friend in sieed is usually on a vacation.

'ML A Captious Maiden. (By Bryant C. Rogers.) John Fletcher, farmer, and his wife didn't say to each other or to any one else that their daughter Millie was captious. They never used the word,, and didn't exactly know its meaning. When they said was: "Isn't that child (and later on girl) plaguey odd in some of her ways?" The older the girl grew the more that plaguey odd trait developed, and at sixteen, had she lived in a town, she would have been referred to as a cap tious girl and a coquette.' Her cap ttousness up to that time had worked no great harm, but now it began to bring trouble. AU at once it became apparent that Miss Millie and the hired man were in love. She was sixteen and he forty-three. He was a steady-going old batch, and he-looked upon the girl as a child, ana nepad to be tola in so many words that she was in love with him. He was hoeing corn one day as steady as an- old clock, and wondering in a dreamy way why a farmer s hired man wasn t born with two backbones, so as to let one rest while the other, worked, when Miss Millie came down from the house and began: "Peter. I am in love." "Good Lord!" he exclaimed, as he gave a Jump. "Yes, I am. and who do you think the feller Is?" "I can't think." "It's you!" "Bless my soul!" "I thought it would jolt you. Yes, Peter, you are the man." "But but "Kneel right down and propose to me." "But I can't. I dasn't. Tour folks wouldn't let us marry." "It isn't for them to decide. Do I get a proposal, or do you scorn a girl s love "I I thought they always courted first," was- stammered. "Come to think of it, I guess they do. We will sit out on the back steps in the moonlight tonight and court." At 8 o'clock that evening the farm er saw them sitting out there in ten der attitudes and asked of the wife: "What in thunder is that gal up to now?" "Oh, that's some of her odd no tions," was the reply. 'But she can't be In love wath Pe ter." "Can't she?" "But has lie got the cheek to fall in love with her?" "How do I know?" The wife refused to say a word to the girl and the courtship continued two or more evenings. During these evenings Peter had proposed and been accepted, plans had been laid as to where they would live, and a bridal tour had almost been decided upon when the farmer decided to put his foot down. There was no need, of action on his part, however. Miss Millie came to him and said: "Father, I wish you would give old Peter the bounce." "Why, what for?" "Because -for three days 1 was in love with him and got him to propose marriage." "What's happened?" "I don't know, but I wouldn't mar ry him if he was -the last man on earth! Bounce him and bounce him quick!" The father went out and found Pe ter sitting on the barnyard fence and waiting to say to him with sheepish air: "David, can I speak with you a moment?" "What is it?" "I 1 love your daughter, and "Tou pack your duds and git!" And he "aot." with Miss Millie look ing on and laughing. That was a speci men Of what ner parents caiieu on oddity. In two years she fell- in love with flve different hired men. and got them all bounced. There were other farmers around, and they haa sons wno fell in love with the girl and reached a certain point, which was generally the end of the first week, and then they were suddenly and promptly told to make their skiddoo. There would be broken hearts and threats of suicide, and mothers kept on the Jump to ad minister catnip tea. "What in biases do you do these things for!" shouted the father as the girl's thirteenth victim passed out of the house with his hopes crushed to earth. "I don't know, father. I 'Hire 'em at first sight, hut in about three days they begin to make me very ttred." "But you can't go on this way. "Nor "-you'll turn down some chap who'll commiX suicide over It, and there'll be the deuce to pay. "Yes, 1 suppose so. Miss Millie had added the scalp of tha sixteenth victim to her collection when, one day, a young maa hitched his horse and buggy at tne gate ana entered the house to aakfor -the farm-! er. It was the girl who answered that 1 her father was down im the field, asd The Evening Story who gave the' thirsty stranger a glass of water. "Salts ma to a dot." Mid the young maa to himself. "I'll make him number seventeen" said the girl to herself. The stranger went down to the father and said; "I have Just seen your daughter. I want her for my wife." 'There's about sixteen aa haa wanted the same thing." "And have all been turned down? X have heard of It, but tt doesn't scare me a little bit." -He then gave his name. "I'll be a good husband to her and a good son-in-law to you." "Well, you can become a candidate." was the doubtful reply. "And I shall win. Just let bar think that I'm out to buy a farm. I shall probably call daily for the next week." "If you last that long, which some hsven't-" Mr. Lorillard. as he gave his name, was Invited to put hia horse in the barn and to stay for supper. Mr. Lorillard called 'the next after noon and the next. At this later call he proposed a buggy ride next day. When the lovers were hidden by the dust cloud the farmer said to hia wife: "The gal seems to take to that young feller." "She has to the rest of them, too." "But I kinder think she's more in earnest." "I hope so but I doubt If "Mebbe they've gone away to get married." "And mebbe June bugs will be fly ing around next January." Mr. Lorillard hadn't proposed yet, though full three days -had passed. They were hardly out of sight of the farmhouse, however, when he turned to Miss Millie and said: "Girlie, I am sure we love each other." "Yes?" "Will you be my wife?" "If I'm not tired of you in a day or two more." "Get up," he said to the. horse as he put on the gad. 7 "What you stopping here for?" was asked when they had gone two miles and halted at a farmhouse. "This is Justice of the Peace Bronson. We'll get out." "But what for?" "You'll be my wife In ten minutes!" "But but "I know it's never got this far with any of the rest of them, but they .were a lot of chumps and didn't know how to get the best Uttle wife in the state. Come on! v "Millie, how did it come about?" asked the mother when they had got DacK nome. "Why why. he didn't give me time to get tired of him! was the answer. And she isn't tired of him yet, though several years have passed. (Codv- right, 1914, by the McClure- Newspaper synaicate. Evening Chat BT RUTH CAMERON. The Family Moloch. "Yes, my home is run just about to suit me," I heard a man say the otherv day with an air of immense self -satisfaction. "There's a lot of talk about compromising between husbands and wives these days, but my wife doesn't expect any such non sense. She's glad to have things the way I want them." Now I happen to know that man's wife and I can testify .that what he says Is true. She is a quiet little creature as self effacing as he is self assertive. And he certainly speaks the truth when he says that she runs things exactly as he wants them. Why shouldn't she when she learned long ago that it was the only way to keep peace in the home?; Why should she expect any such nonsense as a fair compromise of interests and desires when her husband has long ago proved to her that he does not intend to consider her wishes in any thing? One often meets people like this man who boast of the fact that things are run to suit them in the family, the club or the social group to which they belong. They seem to take vast pride in this assertion. To my mind it would be difficult to find a poorer reason for pride. Why do they have things their own way? Because people love them so? Not once in a thousand times. Just because they know how to make oth ers uncomfortable when they, do not get their own way. In a great many families there s one member of this type. "Why do we always go to the sea shore when it doesn't agree with the children or me? Well, you know, John Is so fond of the ocean." "Why don't we take an apartment where the work would be easier for me? Because Richard would rather live in a house.- He's never liked apartments." "I'm sorry, but I can't possible go. Yes It would be a great treat, but it's Philip's lodge night and he hates to have the house left alone." So it goes. In many houses the menu is planned almost entirely with refer ence to one person. "He doesn't like It excludes every dish, -however well recommended by price, nutrition and the tastes of the rest of the family. While. "He is fond of it" is the entr entree to any dish even though no one else cares for it. In fact, no one else is supposed to have preferences. They eat what ia set before them or go without. You notice I say "he." That's part ly to avoid the awkward repetition of he or she, but partly because it usually is "he." Of course, the family Moloch some times is a woman, but in these cases she is more apt to rule by the rod of delicate health or the "I shall worry" threat than by a disagreeable and overbearing temper. No, I don't claim that women are always better than men. Par from it, but I do think that generations of supremacy have made men more in clined to tyranny' than women.

The Western Spirit hast week had an editorial opposing the suggestion of several newspapers Of Kanaaa and in thla instance particularly, the Law rence Journal-World, that the study of Latin be dropped from the curric ulum of the- schools of the state aa a needless waste of time and gray matter. The Spirit ia eminently cor rect. Latin should be retained in our schools, even though it be a "dead" language, as the world suggests. All of the more polished and refined words and phrases of English speak ing people trace their origin back to the Latin, and It has been the exper ience of the writer that hia study ef Latin, while never coming into practi cal use that his arithmetic, spelling and reading have, has nevertheless been a source of much assistance In a fuller and more complete apprecia tion of the language we speak. Many a word la found In the dally reading .of the newspaper, which would neces sitate a chase through the dictionary were not the writer conversant with Its Latin derivation. It ia the uncon scious aid of thousands of readers and writers aside from the excellent train ing it offers the student's mind. Tha study of Roman law was like a Chi nese pussle to the boys who had stud ied no Latin, when we were in the university. It was seldom we bad to turn to the definition of the Latin phrases, because our study of Latin high school had acquainted us with the language enough that we arrived at an understanding of the phrases without the Incessant leafing back to the definitions. In pharmacy. In medi cine, in chemistry, in mathematics. In every line we find practical use for our study of Latin. It is most essen tial to the proper education of our young people, so let it stay. At least Bre'r Brady let us have reverence for the "dead." Osawatomle Graphic THE POOR HYPOCRITE. The hypocrite Is his own worst enemy.

Mr. Bryan his discovered by pain ful experience that destructive criti cism is a 'much easier task than con structive administration. In practice It is not such a simple matter to con duct a department of the- national government so that other people will not find fault. The secretary of state has now become t! e universal target of all the administration's opponents and the situation is plainly getting on his nerves. He quarrels with the re porters. He resents' requests for in formation. The more he la criticised the more secretive he seems. Accord ing to sll reports from Washington, he is careworn, anxious and irritable. Mr. Bryan is probably astonished and Indignant at the character of the crit icism directed against him. He is not only held responsible for his own department, but he Is blamed for ev erything that happens outside of it. He is the administration scapegoat. A Bull Moose newspaper in New York even took him to task the other day because the number of "help wanted" advertisements In the Sun day papers had greatly decreased. Scurrilous refugees who have been got out of Mexico at great trouble and expense sail into southern porta shrieking 'To h 11 with Bryan!" Jingoes accuse him of lacking pa triotism. The war element Insists that he is sacrificing his country in the hope of securing the Nobel peace prise, senators picture him aa tha ally of Villa. Standpat Republicans are ready to prove that he Is ruining the country, and nothing Can save it but a return to Cannonlsm. Criticis ing Mr. Bryan Is generally regarded as a much safer amusement than criticising President Wilson, and doubtless It is. The secretary of state is vulnerable, but nobody could be well guilty of so many offenses against intelligent government as Mr. Bryan's enemies are .charging against him. The very excess of ac cusation should bring him comfort and consolation. In spite of adver sity, however, we hope he will recov er his philosophy.

Chlossa Money, has endeavored to fill in by calculations the queer gap in the sta tistics which is due to the irregular ities of the English system. On In comes between $800 and $3,600 an abatement is given upon declaration, so that these small Incomes are a matter of record. At the other end of the scale, taxpayers with mora than f 2a, 000 a year are assessed a supertax, and are therefore obliged to declare their incomes. But be tween these extremes taxpayers are not obliged to state their incomes from all sources, and therefore a seri ous gap Intervenes. The largest group is that with Incomes between f S00 and 12.000. numbering 8.400. The next groups, to 12.500, $1,000. iS.600. contain, respectively, 71.600. 44,700. 27,300; the group paying a supertax on incomes of over 325.000 numbers 11.500. with a total Income of $750, 600.000. Mr. Chiosxa Money esti mates that the vague middle group contains 304.537 taxpayers with an' aggregate income of 32.343. 000,000, making the commercial backbone of the country. As a statistician he is naturally impatient with the Irregu larities of the system and would pre fer to have all Incomes, large and small, reported. No doubt at pres ent many get off mere lightly than others, for the discovery of a big in come is largely a matter of chance, but it is urged that the present loose system is leas Inquisitorial. The cca splcuously rich are marked out, and people, of moderate means have a chance to secure abatement,; but tha mass -of propertied people are aa aeeaed i a rather lease but tf Aerabry -effloaeioM way. fprlngflsia XUs'- 5.

Did The Fife and Drum corps of the Na tional Soldiers' Home at Leavenworth paid the 8tate Journal the honor of a serenade and visit. early this morning. Nine hale veterans with fifes and drums, under the direction of H. 8. Swan, who acted .as guide and spokes man,' formed in order before the Jour nal office about half past nine and made the air vibrant with the stirring strains of 'The Girl I Left Behind Me." They played with the certainty and abandonment of fifty years of practice, and the roll of the drums and the piercing notes of the fifes echoed up and down Kansas avenue. On invita tion, the musicians paid a visit of in spection to the newspaper office and stayed while an operator on one of the linotypes cast their names in metal slugs to be carried away as souvenirs. Those composing the organization came yesterday from Leavenworth in company with half a score of the other veterans now stationed at the Home. The fifers arer James M. Stevens, age 69. Sixth Indiana infantry; John C Clark, age 65, Co. G. Fifteenth Iowa in fantry; Thomas Hintdh, age 68, Co. K, Ninth New Jersey infantry, and John Kendrick. age 74. Co. I.

The judge will not allow bond to be furnished this week to persons arrested on the charges of street walking, gambling, picking pockets, selling liquor tr similar charges. Those picked up by officers on the charges will be lodged In the city jail until the week is over; then he or she can be released on bond if furnished. This is an old custom used for years to keep down the violation of the laws on special occasions. Last night a colored woman named Lena Shep hard was arrested on the charge of street walking. Today ten or twelve persons, including the woman's hus band, petitioned Judge Huron to re lease her. He refused and declares that all others arrested for such of fenses will be given free board at the city prison for the balance of the week. So it is now up to the large body of "crooks" who usually come from afar to attend big meetings, to steer clear of trouble. Once arrested this week, it will be many days before a release can be granted. Judge Hu ron and the police department Intend to keep the city in almost perfect or der during the reunion of the Civil war veterans.

Police Officer Wonderly arrested James Gabler this morning and he is booked at the city jail on the charge of carrying a dangerous weapon. Wonderly thought he was acting sus piciously, searched "him and found a small automatic pistol. In addition to that, the man had several bottles or whisky upon his person. He claims that he was taking 1t to his. home in western Kansas for his own use. It lc possible that the charge of selling li quor may be pressed against him. It is the theory of several officers that he was trying to pay his expenses to his home in western Kansas by at temotinar to sell liquor to some of the visitors In Topeka this week. He was arrested at the Santa Fe depot. Fred McGee was arrested last night by Sergeant E. L. Walker, Officers Brown and Ferguson on the charge of drunkenness and fined $10 in po lice court today. Alexander Miller, a farmer, was ar rested last night by Police Officers Jones and Douglas and is charged with non-support of family. His case was turned over to Judge McFarland of the probate court. The twelve special officers appoint ed to assist the city police force in keeping order during the Memorial week went on duty this morning. The late plan of the city commis sioners making the prisoners of the. city jail labor at the asphalt plant in stead of pounding a dime's worth of rock dally is meeting with approval. Everv morning the men are taken to the plant where they spend the day at work.' And it is said that they work harder at the asphalt works than they did on the ancient rock pile. Lena Shepherd, arrested last night by Officers Ferguson and Hannon on the charge of street walking, has now two other charges to race before Judge Huron. One is that of resist ing arrest and the other is the charge of assaulting an officer. When arrest ed by Ferguson last evening she raised strenuous objections. N earing the city jail, it is said, she became violent and tried to puncture Fergu son with a hat pin. If it had not been for a watch in his vest pocket, that officer might have been serious ly injured. By main force the offi cers managed to place her In a cell in the woman's quarters. The wo man raised a disturbance that la said to have been heard for blocks. Standard Cuts Prices. New York. May 2C.

We believe we are really safe In saying that the colored wig rage will never gain a strong hold among the women who, by proper care, have kept their own hair beautiful and to whom the idea of covering the bead with a heat-producing blanket-like article is ridiculous. These women realise what sunshine and fresh air mean to hair beauty and that fre quent shampooing is necessary during hot weather, though improper sham pooing robs the hair of its life and beauty and causes it to grow thin and straggly. To avoid any unhappy con dition of scalp or hair, use an econ omical home-made shampoo. which vou oreoare very quickly by just dis solving; a teaspoonful canthrox (which every drug store carries) In a cup hot water and pouring slowly on the bead as you rub briskly. This makes a wealth of rich, cleansing lather that greatly invigorates both scalp and hair. Cantbrox shampoos will soon restore the fluff and-luster to the dullest hair, and enconragai a beautiful growth. Adv. sky was overcast. There was no rain In Kansas in the 24 hours ending at 7, according to the government reports: The social survey, exhibit will open at the Security building, southwest corner. of Seventh street and Kansas avenue, tonight at 7:30 o'clock.

The admis sion is free, and the exhibit Is well worth looking over. The exhibit will continue the balance of the week. 4 Postmaster W. O.

4 POLITICAL GOSSIP Sheridan Coanty Republicans Endorse Curtis. But They Made No Mention of

Capper. WAGGECER FOR LEGISLATURE Balle's Boy Is Urged to Ban in I Atchison. Progressives Making Final Ar rangements for State Ticket. I Sheridan county Republicans took a .terrific slap at the Capper-Bristow- Morgan combination when they adopt ed resolutions endorsing Charles Curtis 'for United States senator and failed to in any manner mention the name or 'candidacy of Arthur Capper. Then, to make their stand emphatic, the Repub lican voters declared that each pre- tcinct committeeman must stand on the resolutions as adopted or resign from rthe committee. The action of the Sheridan county Republicans followed Curtis meeting In Hoxie. The former United States senator spoke to a large crowd of en thusiastic Republicans who immedi ately proceeded to go on record re garding their political sentiments. Tn MiiiAn. hai thA pinr nf dm line Re publicanism, although Frank Mclvor, editor of the Hoxie Sentinel and a Pro gressive, declared that the Curtis speech was colorless and patronizing; and hampered by fears of offending possible Teturningr Progressives. But the crowd was for Curtis. It was ''against Bristow. Its failure to men tion Capper was regarded by local lead ers as significant of the stand of the old line Republicans of the county on the harmony program and the Capper-Bristow-Morgan combination. In their resolutions the Sheridan Re publicans reaffirmed the action of the Republican national convention and the national platform of 1912. They advo cated amendments to the state primary law providing for pre-primary conven tions and platforms. The recall reso lution as submitted to the voters this fall was denounced and the I. and R. safeguarded by- petitions signed by SO per cent of the voters was approved. The Underwood tariff bill was con demand in bitter tones, war with Mex ico was deplored and the hands of the president upheld thus taking a side wln at Spnainr Rrlstnu' anH dirtigi was endorsed for United States sena tor. But Capper and the governorship were not mentioned. After these resolutions had been unanimously adopted by the several hundred Republican voters, they adopt ed the following additional resolution: "That the secretary send said reso lutions to each committeeman with a request that if he, does not endorse them, that he get off the committee." That resolution also received unani mous approval. "By endorsing Mr. Curtis for the sen- .M Mm. Frank Mclvor. in writ ing of -the resolutions, "they -declared against Bristow who is the repres-nta-tive and embodiment of their only claim to progressiveness. .They went on record and insofar as their .power lies, declared themselves a party of conservatives, with blood in tneir eyes and purpose in their hearts, to defeat, expunge and relieve their party of all who claim to be progressive or ever did oio irri tn h. nrntrressive. Notice the ab sence of -any mention of Capper in the resolutions. In tnis silence we orew our own conclusion.- They have .swat ted Bristow now. They will swat Cap per at the polls." V-. Waggener May Run. It is probable that W. P. Waggener of Atchison may be a candidate for the legislature this yean He is a son of Senator Balie P. Waggener and is engaged in the practice of law in his father s office in Atchison, waggen er's friends have urged him to enter the race for the state legislature this year and while he has made no defi nite announcement of his plans, it is probable that he may decide to run. W. P. Waggener is well known in the state and has declared that If he should come to the legislature, he will seek to emulate the record estab lished by his father in his years of faithful service in the state senate. Progressives Are Busy. Kansas Progressives are this week making their final campaign for se curing nomination petitions for their state and congressional candidates and will probably le papers for their entire list of candidate's early in- June. In addition to the work of placing a state and congressional ticket in the field. State Chairman U. S. Sartin is now flooding the state with copies of the new Progressive hand-book. He is also sending to Bull Moose voters printed copies of Raymond Robins' speech at the recent Progressive ban quet in Wichita. The new Progres sive hand-book contains Information regarding the organization of the new party in the state and the require ments under the state law for placing state, county and township tickets in the field. i CLARK WANTS CHANGE But Not Before 1920 the Speaker Declares. Xew York, May 26. Speaker Clark in an address to the graduates of a commercial school declared that he would like to have the president elected for six years with the provi sion that after that he be "eternally ineligible." "We should elect presi dents for six years," he said, "and hold them to one term. As it is now a president spends most of his term trying to get back again. We should de away with the custom of inaugura tions, particularly on March 4. They are merely spectacles for sightseers. "Elections should be held on the last Monday in October. This should be done not before nor later than 1920. This would give Roosevelt, Wilson and Taft. an opportunity to get another term before the one term law went into effect." iO.Tf I!

The funeral was a large one and many friends of the veteran railroad man traveled as far as 1.000 miles so that they might be present.. The room in which the body of Mr. Brinkerhoff lay was a bower of flow ers. Most of those who attended the funeral had been associated with Mr. Brinkerhoff in railroad work. From Xew Vork city and from the western divisions of the Union Pacific they came to pay their respects to the dead.

Tna TOPinrA; daily ctat2 joteTTAjgurbA? Eviiuia uAsi ltii: OUTLOOK IS GOOD Washington Is' Growing More Hopeful Day by Day That the Mexican Problem Will Be Solred Peaceably. MEXICAN DELEGATES YIELD r: Willing to Have Land Problem Discussed in Conference. Reports From Mexico Indicate Bad. State of Affairs. Washington, May 26. When adminis tration chiefs resumed their study of the Mexican situation today they were encouraged by these cardinal develop ments: The Huerta and American missions at Niagara Falls were nearins ac cord on the disposition of the trouble some land problem. A satisfactory basis for solving the dispute between the Huerta govern ment and the United States the in ternational phase of equation was de clared to have been reached. Denial was made that Carranaa had refused to consider any form of me diation proposals. Some men in the confidence of the constitutionalists declared the northern chief was closery watching proceedings at Niagara and was seriously consider ing some proposals. Of those developments the view was .aken In some quarters that reports that, the two missions sou&ht to ap proach the vexing problem in a spirit of conciliation, seemed most encourag ing. The Huerta delegates were said to have receded from their original posi tion that the land issue was for inter nal solution only while the American -mission gave ground from their first standpoint that it should be settled at the mediation proceedings. With that factor giving promise of adjustment, the hope grew in adminis tration circles that further aggressive movements by American troops in Mex ico could be averted and peace ulti mately restored in the southern re public. Reports from Mexico City stated there was a hopeful feeling among government officials over the conference but they believed it would continue longer than first anticipated. Carranza's Position. Carranza's ultimate position over me diation was discussed again today -by observers of the situation. Some took the view that even if the northerner fought their way into Mexico City, there still would be work for a mediating board in helping to establish a consti tutional government that the good of fices of the South American republics would be needed to restore order out of the chaos of five years' war. Car ranza's failure to move for representa tion or participation in the conference up to this time has caused no discour agement among administration offi cials or" the mediators. Reports from Mexico City that Huer-, ta faced serious straits because of., toe rumored depletion- of his treasury and growine unrest among the army and the people renewed interest In the situation at the Mexican capital. Some fear was expressed that if Huerta's ttoops revolted there might be rioting In which foreigners still remaining in Mexico City might suiter.

"We will not let the agrarian question dis rupt the mediation proceedings," said one of the Mexican delegates today. "I think there is a way of coming into common accord on this and other points so that we may complete our work very shortly." The latest developments' here Indi cate that the Mexican and American delegates, as a result of their confer ence with mediators over the agra rian problem-'are converging; toward a point where they can meet on some common ground of agreement look ing; toward ian ultimate solution by Mexico herself, of the vexed and vex ing land question. The Mexicans are hopeful of meeting the United States half way in tne adoption or some sug gestion to be submitted to the new provisional government in Mexico which might be used as a finger post in pointing the way to a final solu tion. The Mexican land question is recognized by all as a fertile breeder of revolutions or sectional uprisings. Things They Can't Do. It is virtually conceded here that insistent demand by the United States for a guaranty -in precise terms can not be met by -the Mexican represen tatives since they have no power firmly to bind such an independent government as this mediation confer ence aims to' bring into existence. The delegates, from the United States doubtless will have to content them selves with the best pledge the Mex ican delegates are able to give and to rely on their promise that the ar rangement will honestly be carried out. The Mexican delegates are about ready to present a list of suitable per sons from which to choose a pro visional president, the American gov ernment and the mediatora-to .indicate one who would be acceptable. It Is the intention of the Mexicans to pre sent a declaration of principles on the land problem and In respect of edu cational reforms they expect that the provisional president to be chosen, will appoint a cabinet, representing the varied political interests of the coun try and that there shall be assured a fair election for a new president and chamber of deputies, with guarantees for the equitable treatment of all fac tions n the forthcoming campaign. They fully expect that the provisional government, established as a result of the mediation, is to be accorded prompt recognition by the United States. Tt-.f-.y are very hopeful of the success of the program they have out lined. Report Is Discredited. Washington, May 26. War and navy -iepartment officials do not credit current reports that the liner Bavaria has landed a cargo of arms and am munition for Huerta. at Puerto Mex ico, which like Tampico still is re garded as an open port.' .The situation and the progress of the mediation at Niagara Palls was discussed at the cabinet meeting without announce ment.

They had contemplated making their position clear on various phases-of the subject but after consideration they Agreed to defer, the announcement in definitely, -j,-The American delegates and the me diators w'ent into conference shortly before noon.

SETTLED WITH THOMAS County Paid Former District Clerk $11,8241. Cash settlements are being made of the fees of the Shawnee county dis trict court due to R. L. Thomas, former-clerk, and to Charles W. Bowers, present- clerk, in accordance with the mandate of the supreme court which lately untangled the differences over the .fee distribution dating back to the time "of Thomas' clerkship. The supreme court decree was yesterday spread on the records of the district court and the- attorneys for the dis putants effected an agreement as to the payment of the accumulated fees and interest-money. v Under this arrangement Thomas re ceives a -total of S11.826.5S. Of this amount' Bowers delivered $3,305.07 to him yesterday, this being one-half the fees earned by Thomas but collected by Bowers between April, 1912 and May, 1914. The county treasurer win pay over to Thomas $8,274.50 which includes fees in controversy earned and collected by Thomas while in of fice but held by the county after he had surrendered them pending the settlement of the dispute.

Irregular. FOURTOJOimiS A Nmmber of Militant 8afira ettes Sentenced to Prison. Window Smashers Draw Short er Terms Than Others. London. May 26. An almost un canny stillness, in marked contrast to recent police court scenes in which militant suffragettes participated, prevailed today at" London Sessions during the trial and conviction of the women vandals of the National gal lery and Royal academy. Several window smashers who were partici pants in recent suffragette raids in the west end were sentenced, at the same time. Six months' imprison ment was ordered for each of the picture destroyers, while the window smashers in all cases were condemned to terms of four months. Several of the women refused to give their names and were identified by numbers. One frail girl, convicted as a window breaker, was so weak from the effects of a hunger strike that she had to be carried into court by women wardens. She collapsed in a heap, her body quivering and her hands clutching convulsiyely at the sleeves of by standers. Eventually it was neces sary to -give her a restorative. Freda Graham, the suffragette who slashed several valuable paintings in the National gallery on May 12, har angued the jury, declaring that she had attacked the pictures "as a pro test against King George's illegal and unconstitutional action in refusing to receive a legal deputation of women." She added: "What are Ave pictures compared with 80,000 pictures by the greatest artist of all, which a- being shamefully defaced and degraded by men each night." Mary Spencer, who damaged a pic ture at the Royal academy on May 22, told the judge that the only way for women to express their views was to damage property as they respected human life too much to destroy it. Extraordinary precautions have been taken at the Epsom -race course to prevent" any repetition of last year's tragic interference with the running of the derby when Emily Wilding Davison met her death by jumping on the course. A force of 2,000 police will be on duty during the race meeting, while extra barriers have been put up around the course. The arrangements to prevent King George and Queen Mary from being subjected to annoyance by suffra gettes have been made as perfect as possible. Ill JUVENILE COURT. The Juvenile: court was today" en eased with the case of Elic Miller. charged with delinquency by Lottie Babcock of 817 North Kansas avenue on whose complaint Miller was de tained by Juvenile Officer Ed Kooney. pending the investigation. The com plaint involves the care of the infant boy who first came to the court's at tention when it was taken from the care of a colored family named Carter, on Storey avenue, in whose home it had been left by its mother, Lottie Bab cock. Since last December the mother has had it in charge, the -father not appearing In the-case until brought Into court today on her complaint. Miller, acknowledging paternity of tne baby, stated to Judge Hugh MacFar land today that he had once, settled all claims against' him under a court order in Brown county where the child was born and that he then paid the amount required by the court for the child's maintenance. He is being neta nendins- an investiKation of this claim and will be discharged if it is verified. A half dozen lively city boys. 18 to 15 years of age, need good homes on farms this summer and Parole Officer Ed Rooney, at the court house, is look ing for places for them in gooa country homes which need livening up. The boys, all of whom have come under Rooney s watchful eye on account or mischievous activities, are. nearing the close of their school terms and he is anxious to get them located in the country where they will have some thing to occupy their minds tnrougn the three summer months. "Town is no place for an Idle boy in vacation time." declared Rooney to day, "and I should like very much to see these chaps settled in good coun try homes as soon as school closes. The bovs are all right even if they have gotten into scrapes that .put them into my charge. But I have been keeping check on them through the school year and most of them are nrtgnt pupils and bring good reports from their teachers.

The announcement that further tak ing of testimony would be delayed, came after a conference of the com mission and then Commissioner- Mc Chord announced the wait was to per mit the inspection of the Morgan books and that In the meantime the commission would consider various phases of the question. The day's action coming closely upon yesterday's Conference between President Wilson and Attorney Gen eral McReynolds and persistent re ports that the investigation would probably be halted, caused a great deal of speculation, but there was nothing official to bear out the view that the conference of yesterday was responsible for today's development. Chelf Counsel" Folk read an affi davit from Dr. Frank W. Hughlett of Groton. Conn., to the effect that Mor ton F. Plant is suffering from heart complications and high blood pressure and that his health would not permit his coming to Washington to testify. SANCTION WITHHELD.

"Th-jre are 9,000,000 acres of wheat in Kansas this year 800,000 more than last."

They Meet in Party Welfare Conference at Detroit. criticise ad:.:i;:istratio:j Point Out That Balance of TmIa In flnr Fovnr lias Been Completely Wiped Out by New Tariff Law. Detroit, Mich., May 26. Pessimistic lews as tc conditions existing under the national Democratic administra tion and optimistic .predictions with reference to the future of their own party, were expressed by the speakers, at the Michigan Republican state wel fare conference here today. Party leaders from nearly every county in the state attended the meeting. The speakers inoiuded several members of the Michigan delegation in congress, with United States Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, announced as the principal visiting speaker. Repre sentative Patrick H. Kelley acted as temporary chairman and United States Senator William Alden Smith was se lected to preside over the meeting after Representative Kelley had con cluded his address. "The Republican party has been out ef power but a little more than a year long enough, however, to demon strate that the sooner it is restored to power the better it will be for our domestic affairs and also for our standing smong the nations of the World," said Representative Kelley. The most favorable thing that can be said of cur present industrial situa tion is that the business men of the country, emulating the example of the president himself, are pursuing a policy of 'watchful waiting,' and so far as our domestic relations are con cerned all the world realizes the dif ference between the colorless diplo macy of Bryan and the red blooded statesmanship of Knox, Root, Sher- Attacks Tariff law. Representative Kelley attacked both the tariff law and the Panama free tolls legislation. With reference to the tariff law he said: "Already our magnificent balance of trade of $60,000,000 a month has been completely wiped out and during April Just, passed, there is a balance of trade against us of $10,171,000. This is the first time there has been a balance of trade against the United States in 21 years." He declared the settlement of Panama should be left to the verdict of experience. "The policy of the administration In Mexico has undoubtedly brought Its embarrassment," continued Rep resentative Kelley. "We are involved In difficulties from which we will not soon escape. Whether it was wise for us to insist that President Huerta must be eliminated from the situation I do not know. Time alone can tell. But of one thing I am convinced and that is this that in the process of eliminating President Huerta this proud republic cannot afford for a single day to become the ally of Mex ican outlaws and highwaymen. "This would be an unholy alliance and entirely out of keeping with the character of the American people. To refuse to recognize President Huerta and then put the stamp of approval on Villa can in the end bring nothing but trouble to us and further disor der in Mexico." WILL SEE JOHN D., JR. Judge Undsey Explains His Previous Failure in the Matter. New Tork. May 26. Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver, who with two women from the Ludlow, Colo., coal district is in New York speaking at mass meetings, as a protest against the policy adopted by the Rockefeller interests In the Colorado strike trou bles, today expected to succeed in his attempt to interview John D. Rocke feller, Jr. Judge Llndsey explained that the telegram he sent to John D. Rocke feller, Jr., reached Mr. Rockefeller, sr., and because of this mistake he hoped to arrange for a meeting today. Judge Llndsey expects to return to Denver tonight. The women from Ludlow plan to leave tonight for Bos ton. They expect to visit ten cities before returning to Ludlow. AT THE THEATERS. Nat Goodwin, whose fame has long Wen established as one of America's leading comedians, and who is to ap pear in this city tonight for one night only at the 'Grand in his new comedy of "Never Say Die," had one of the best laughs handed him In the most Innocent and unexpected way, that he has experienced in the course of his travels. It occurred down east where Mr. Goodwin and "Never Say' Die" were playing a while back. A colored man, dresser, who gets the preference around this particular theater when amy one is needed in that capacity, not knowing Mr. Goodwin traveled his own valet always with him, had figured himself a candidate for the week's work. It so happened he had been em ployed the week previous to Mr. Goodwin's arrival, and had heard his (Goodwin's) reputation as a- fun maker discussed more or less all the week in the dressing room of the ac tor he was waiting on. till his own curiosity was thoroughly aroused, with the following result: "Are 'you all' Mr. Nat Goodwin?" the obsequiously polite old colored man asked the comedian the follow ing Monday morning, .as ha stepped Into the star dressing room and looked It over. "Yes, old man, what do you want?" replied Goodwin, glancing over a bun die of mail that had been; handed him and not even giving his question er a look. "Well, sir. I Just heard so much all about how comic you all' are, and 1 was thinking, perhaps, if I asked you, you would say something very funny now." Shamrock TV Is Launched. Go sport. Eng., May 16.

The boys were- Harry Root, now traveling solicitor for the State Journal, and Otis L. Atherton, former state treasurer of Kansas. In one of the rushes against the Confederate works, Atherton was shot in the head. ana one eye destroyed, and a bullet passed through the blanket roll car ried by Root. They charged through an open space that was swept by Rebel bullets until the small brush and weeds were mown as with a scythe, and after half a dozen men had fallen around Root; the company was order- ea to lie down In a little swale where there was some slight protection. They had been lying down but a moment when Root deliberately arose and walked away to another position, while officers and comrades were yelling at film tn Am. i .1 eay Root bad "flopped" on a bumble-bees nest, and the varmints were making "war talk" that sounded worse to the boy than a wagon load of Rebel bullets.

A glowing Picture of the future of the Republi can party reunited with the Progres sive clement which left it in 19X2 was painted here today by Senator William E. Borah, "of Idaho, speaking at a atate wide "conference" of Hepubli cans. "The Republican party," said the senator, "is coming back into power. The proof of It is on every hand. The trend is unmistakable. I said a year ago that tha amalgamation which would take place would be an amal gamation of the voters, not the assum ed leaders. I said furthermore that that was the only amalgamation that was worth while. The men who voted the third party ticket to the number of four million, for reasons entirely satisfactory, to them can neither be questioned as to their integrity of pur pose or their patriotism.. But that it was 4 protest -and not a manifestation of purpose permanently to leave; the party is now established by facts and figures whleh cannot be doubted. "Now in view of this pronounced and unmistakable purpose of those who voted the third party ticket to ally themselves with the Republican patty; In view of the determination to sup port its principles and its policies, what Is the task before us? It is unques tionably to make our party equal to the tremendous problem which now concerns us. Duty of Republicans. "It is to build up in this country, out ot the traditions, the achievements and prestige of the past, the duties and i obligations of the present, and the hopes and aspirations of the future, an organization efficient, militant and pro gresslve worthy of its old days and equal -to the obligations which now rest upon us. It is our duty, in other words, in unmistakable terms to make It clear that the Republican party is to be as it was in its best days, a thor oughly progressive party. We ought not to assume for a moment or concede for a 'moment, that because the party bids fair to go back into power, there is going to be any compromise with the forces which brought it near its ruin. "There is in this country a powerful influence' for the bad in politics and it will take possession of any party in the world, if it can, which is enjoying pow er, This kind of an influence does not fight a party in the open. It holds itself in readiness to direct the course of any party which happens to be in power. With such influences there can I be no compromise if we are to have a party which is going to meet and solve the great problems which a new indus trial life and a new. social condition have Imposed upon us. Curse of the Age. "No man living in this splendid age, Ij amid these exhilarating environments, can afford to permit the corroding poison of pessimism to enter his soul. But on the other hand, the curse of our age is that cold, cruel, selfish con servatism, which, living In its ease and comfort, enjoying wealth and all it brings, refuses to see or sympathize with the conditions of those who, in the midst of a world of plenty, .are bordering on the line of hunger and misery, who refuse to see the new conditions or the new problems which must be met and dealt with in the same spirit and with the same cour age and progressiveness that our fathers met the problems of their age. The great and almost superhu man task, my friends, is not the gath ering of wealth but its fair and equi- table distribution. "What we want in this country is a party which will do the simple but profound thing which Lincoln did, that is, gather up the common sense, the common honesty, the common pat riotism, the common courage and the common righteousness of the com mon people of this country, and or ganize it into a militant, progressive, disciplined force for legal and social justice, and do it all under the con stitution and laws of this blessed old republic."

The one important fight if the Kansas veterans really stage a fight will be for the election of a new de partment commander to succeed CoL J. N. Harrison of Ottawa, who this week concludes his second year's ser vice at the head of the Kansas G. A. R. Under the rules Col. Harrison is not eligible to succeed himself and several candidates for the place have already announced their ambitions to succeed to the commandership. This afternoon the first preliminary steps looking toward the election of a commander were taken when the dele Bates from the various Kansas posts met in the auditorium. While it is possible that Col. Harrison's successor may be named late today, it is not regarded as probable that a new com mander will be elected before some time Thursday, Among the old soldiers In the ro tunda of the state house and In Me morial hall, there was today but little discussion of tne fight for the election of a commander. This Is the big re union to which the veterans have been looking for many months and time was more profitably spent in review ing the incidents of fifty years ago than in discussing the commander- snip contest. Four candidates for CoL Harrison's Job are busy today, how ever, and it is probable that the old soldiers will see a lively contest when the election Is held. In the fight for state commander are: C. A. Meeks, Wichita; it. M. fainter, Meade; Thomas H. Grisham, Cottonwood Falls, and I. D. Braugher ureat nena. if any of the four candi dates have an advantage in the fight far commander,' It' was not indicated ii) the discussion of the several thou sand old soldiers and their wives who are attending the encampment. with the retirement of Col. Harri son as department commander, the old officers of the state G, A. R.. will this week give over their jobs to new ly elected, officials. Among the re tiring officers of the department are: J. A. Walters, Great Bend, senior vice commander; G. L. Banks, Indepen dence, junior vice commander; S. S. Martin. Topeka, chaplain: and C. A. Meeks, Wichita; W. H, Smith, Marys vllle; Edward V. Jones, Holton, and Charles Harris, Emporia, members of the .council of administration. This afternoon there is but little discussion as to the probable successors' to the men who will this week follow Col. Harrison out of office. VETERANS O VISITORS. Mrs. Eva Wheeler of Norton, past grand matron of the Eastern Star, is a Topeka visitor thia week, the guest of Mrs. Grant Harrington, whose hus band is private secretary to Governor Hodges: Commander Harrison today received a telegram from Col. -A. R. Green of Stevenson, Wash., extending greetings and hearty best wishes to the Kansas veterans. Although he is' 2.000 miles away. Col. Green desired tnat tne de partment commander tell his comrades that his thoughts and well wishes were with, them; In: their big encampment and the dedication of the new Memorial hall. Col. Green was formerly depart ment commander of Kansas and has the personal friendship and acquaint ance of hundreds of the men who are attending the encampment in Topeka this week. Candidates for state offices are tak- Ing advantage of the opportunity to shake hands with the veterans and this week Topeka Is the natural stopping place of the men who are candidates on the various tickets. Charles Curtis, rated as the old soldier's friend in con- j gress.was one of the most active men In the milling with the veterans In the state house. Then there were Major W. L. (Ironjaw) Brown, Major A. M. Harvey, Judge -Frank B. Doster, Jus tice A. W. Benson,. Arthur Capper, W. O. Reltzel apd E. J. Brewer, not to mention the regular state house officials who are candidates to succeed them selves. Several dozen members of the To peka Boy Scouts are being pressed Into active service for the encampment. These boys 'have been appointed as. guides and pages and stationed in the state house and Memorial hall. They have a busy week ahead of them, but they are performing faithful service. One old soldier came to Topeka today wearing the bugle that he carried dur- insr the Civil war. another veteran brought a camp stool with him and still another carried the trusty musket that he used in the war of the re bellion. rhlr MimnAm wri eatahlf 4hri this afternoon in the rotunda of the state house under direction of J. Will Kelley, secretary of the Commercial club, and arrangements maae lor cnecKingr me luggage of the veterans without extra expense. This afternoon nearly 400 veterans marched from the state house to the Auditorium to attend the G. A- R. busi ness meeting. Headed by Commander Harrison, members of his official fam ily and a drum corps of fourteen mem bers, the old soldiers marched east on Eighth, avenue to the Auditorium. Hundreds of members of the Wom en's Relief Corps of Kansas are here for the encampment. Many of these women came to Topeka accompanied bv their husbands. But in the crowd are scores of widows and veterans of the Civil war, who came to participate In the Memorial hall dedication. K. B. Jewett of Wichita, former war den of the state penitentiary, is attend ing the reunion. He is accompanied by Mrs. Jewett and both will spend the week In Topeka. Colonel A. W. Smith tells an incident of the passing of the boys who wore' the blue and the gray. "During my first session in the state legislature, in 1873, more than two-thirds of the mem bers of both houses were old soldiers, said Colonel Smith. "We maintained that two-thirds majority for several years. Then, in the 80's. we had only a majority. Then we lost control." In the 1913 session, there were but five old soldiers in the house.

PROBE "KATY" AFFAIRS Governor Orders Attorney General and Utilities Chairman to Investigate; Governor Hodges, late this after noon, ordered John Dawson,, attorney general,, and Chairman Foley of the public utilities commission, to inves tigate the litigation .between the Mis souri, Kansas Texas railroad and the state. The controversy concerns an effort on the part of Montgomery county to oust the "Katy" because of alleged failure to 'maintain its'- bead quarters within the state.- j, Several weeks ago, Charles I, Ise, county attorney of Montgomery eounty, brought ouster proceedings against the Katy because it was claimed that .this railroad maintained its headquarters in St. Louis instead of Kansas. The rail way company went into the federal court in an effort to restrain the Mont gomery county proceedings, declaring that the entire matter was unconstitu tional. The governor .believes-that Attorney General Dawson and Chairman Foley can bring about peace and they -have been given authority to investigate the grounds of grievence and attempt to settle the difficulty: without ouster or receivership complications.

It LEWI. it v r gf- I :.'c. Superintendent and Inspector of Construction of the I jCtT Grand Army of the Republic f mm. tmmmmmm ill h w- Mr. Lewis was born in Germany in 1849, was brought to Amer ica in 1850. He was made an orphan at the age of one year. In 1855 he was taken to Alton, 111., and there found a home in the family of Joseph Burton. In 1859 he went into the interior of Illi nois and there bound himself out to a family by the name of Jas". H. Clark. He remained with this family until 1863. The stirring times of 1863 fired his young heart with patriotic enthusiasmand, although too young to enter the service, he went ,to Camp Butler 111., and endeavored to enlist. He was denied. He then went to St. Louis ancl,'after twelve different attempts, was denied the privilege of enlisting. These efforts did not serve tb dampen his ardqr, or his desire to serve his country. 7 prompted by thepirit of determination "which characterizes X the German people, he left St. Louis and went to Paducah, Ky:, where he again endeavored to enlist, but failed. From Paducah lie: went to Johnsonyille, Tenn.i where he succeeded in entering -lyernmnrceas-: a-driver of a single mule-and dump carton the construction of a leyy He was successively promoted from-ai driver of one- muK to two, and up to a team of six mules. TmV T; work was in the construction of breastworks, fort and storehouses for government stores.

On September 25, 1863r he succeeded in enlisting in Co. A, 14th Tenn, Vol. Cavalry. Just prior to the battle at Nashville, Tenn., Co. A, 14th Tenn Vol. Cavalry was consolidated with and formed Co. E. of the 6th Tenn. Vol. Cavalry. He served continuously from this time till the close of the war. Located in Marion, Kan., March 10, 1867. That has been his home ever since, and at once entered into the construction business, which he has followed ever since. i

The foregoing serves to show the spirit of determination and love of country that has always actuated him. He has devoted the mature years of his life to building construction work,' and in 1910 he. was appointed superintendent of construction of the G. A. R. Historical and Memorial Hall by the building commission, and has served in that, capacity until the building was completed. 7, As the ruling- passion of fhis young life was to serve his country, so this work of constructing the memorial to the memory of his de parted comrades' has been with him, a labor of love. He has protected the interest of the state in every particular. His3 judgment has been of the highest and best kind,, 1 i t t

Henry, Indicted for the murder of Charles Ezard, Everett Crain and four-year-old Howard Crain of the nearby village of Wood son, was called here in the circuit court. The victims were neighbors of Henry. The crimes were committed the night of January 27, 1914. Henry's wife had gone to the Ezard home and was in the dining room, where the family was eating when her husband came and demanded that she return with him. The wife demurred and Henry tried to compel her to accom pany him. In the scuffle his shotgun was discharged and Ezard was mor tally wounded. Half an hour later Crain was called into the darkness of i his porch and shot dead. The little boy went out onto the porch with his father and was also shot and killed.

ELAM CASE IS GALLED After Three Postponements the Trial Gets Under Way. Kansas City, May 26 The trial of Dr. W. T. Elam, a physician of St. Joseph. Mo., charged with the murder of Put nam Cramer, an advertising iolicitor of Chicago. Is under way here. Three hun dred veniremen were on hand when court convened and it was expected a Jury would be secured by tomorrow night. Cramer was shot November 18 last, in a room at a hotel here. Cramer and Dr. Elam had previously had a misunder standing about Mrs. Elam and the pair met to discuss their differences. Five days after the shooting, Dr. Elam was released on Sin.000 bond. He is 17 years old and his wife is 39. Cramer was 38. Since the shooting Mrs. Elam has spent much of her time with her par ent in Detroit. Private detectives em ployed by Dr. Elam to follow his wife and Cramer are expected to testify. Dr. Elam is prominent in his profession in St. Joseph. The trial was originally set for the January term of court but had been postponed three times. Dyspeptics Warned By German Physician prof. Riegel, World-Famous Authority on Stomach Diseases,- Points Out Lurking Danger. Frans Riegel, Professor of Clinica, Medicine in the University of Giessen, pronounced the world's greatest au thority on diseases of the stomach, makes the positive statement that pep sin must not be used in treating acid ity of the stomach. Millions of people are taking all sorts of dyspepsia tab lets because they contain pepsin which affords slight temporary relief. But every dose contributes to serious harm in time. What is needed is something to neutralize the excess acid. The best thing for that purpose is ordinary blsurated magnesia. Tou can get it at any drug store for a few cents. Take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water after each meal. Tou will get immediate and complete relief with no danger or bad after effects. Authorities agree that acidity is the cause of nearly every form of stomach disorder, and if not checked it is likely to lead to stom ach ulcers and cancer. Adv. Kansas City, May 26. The charges against Leo Brennan and Bert Kinne- van, two of the six men charged with attacking Mrs. Gertrude Shidler, a nurse, were dismissed here when the cases against the two were called in Judge Latshaw's court. Brennan's at torney said that he believed the case should he dropped. In view of Mrs. Shidler's admission that she was mis taken in her identification of Brennan, as a member of the gang. Judge Lat shaw agreed. "I don't see any use of keeping this case on the docket," the judge said. Kinnevan's case was dismissed for the same reason. Both Brennan and Kinnevan have been at liberty under $5,000 bonds. William Chessman, one of the men arrested for alleged participation in the attack, is still in jail. He has nev er been identified by Mrs. Shidler and has case probably will be dismissed. Three men were tried and convicted for participation in the attack. Vic Gueringer is under sentence to hang. Oscar Harrison's punishment was fixed at imprisonment for 24 years. M. Lewkowitz was given a 99 year term.

OPPOSE FIGHT Oil KATY Parsons Chamber of Commerce Adopts "Resolution Against Receivership. Siou City, la.. May 26. Rev. Wallace M. Short, pastor of the First Congrega tional church here, tendered his resig nation as pastor and it was accepted by a vote of 124, to 61. Many members of the congregation declined to vote. Rev. Mr. Short's resignation was de manded because he signed a saloon con sent petition. In defending his action in signing the petition of consent the minister de clared he was actuated by a conviction that the methods employed by the pro hibitionists, to secure temperance re form, were wrong and that under local conditions he regarded a vote for a legalized saloon to be the most tem po rato measure. He denied emphat ically that he was opposed to the tem perance movement. Rev. Mr. Short was pastor of a Kansas City church, before he came to Sioux City. RIG WEEK AHEAD.

It is not advisable to try them. Instead of doing any good they may do positive harm. No one is ever disappointed in New bro's Herpicide. The results are almost always the same, highly satisfactory, as is indicated by the fact that Herpicide has been -sold for years and has thous ands of satisfied friends. It is the only "genuine, original dandruff germ de stroyer."

TH3 DAILY CTAT2 JOTHlT&C TIJIDAY UVLKia, 1IAY 3, 1C14. 15 DO M01F0RGET Jforth Topeka Citizens Met C. J. Borden at Depot. He Was Mayor of St. Joe and y Sent Relief In 190S Flood. That North Topekans do not forget favors easily -vtaa proven this morning "When a delegation of North aiders headed by t-x-Mayor W. S. Bergundthal. Fred Voiland and J. S. Priddy met ex Mayor Charles J. Borden and the vet erans of the St. Joseph post at the Rock Island depot. The delegation was at the depot in honor of St. Joseph's ex-mayor. Just why the North slders should honor the ex-mayor of St. Joseph is a story forgotten by few and remem bered by many. When North Topeka, was almost wiped o-Jt in 1903 by the flood it was al most impossible for those on the south side of the river to help those in the flooded district. Communication was practically cut off. A call to surround ing towns for help was sent out and St, Joseph responded by sending a train load of boats from Lake Contrary-. The Missouri town also sent a train load of provisions. The boats were sent to the Boys' Industrial school and with them hundreds of refugees were taken from the flooded district. Hundreds of refugees were cared for with the pro visions sent from St. Joseph. Judge Charles J. Borden was the mayor of St. Joseph at this time and that is why the delegation of North siders were there to honor him. Judge Borden is also commander of Custer Post No. 7 at St. Joseph. The veterans from St. Joseph were taken to the state house in autos furnished by the North sidcrs. where they were reg istered and were then taken to their places in the encampment. AT THE MOVIES.

A piano recital that was listened to with a great deal of interest was given Monday night by Miss Joy Paxton in Washburn college chapel. Miss Pax ton, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Paxton, will receive her diploma in piano music from the fine arts de partment of the college this spring, where she has been studying the past few years. She is one of the mem bers of the Alpha Mu society, a mu sical organization of Washburn col lege, and she is considered a student of a good deal of promise. She is planning to go to Boston in Septem ber to take a course in the Boston Conservatory of Music, where she will probably finish in about two years. Her playing has a good many points of excellence. Its vigor is sur prising in view of the slenderness and apparent frailty of the performer. Her runs and trills are done with ex traordinary evenness and swiftness, and her performance is entirely with out self consciousness. Besides being a student with promise of the coming artist, she is a popular girl of her set both in social and musical circles. The program was made up chiefly of numbers from the older classics, and represented varying styles, with which the musician of the evening demonstrated an admirable versatil ity. The closing number was a Bee thoven concerto in which Dean Hor ace Whitehouse played the orchestral parts on the second piano. Miss Paxton was becomingly gowned in a pale green taffeta, made with shadow lace, bodice combined with the silk. The skirt had a long tunic of the taffeta, over which was draped a shorter tunic of the shadow lace. Floral gifts were numerous; in fact ,two young women carried bou quets to the stage after each number, and the hall outside the chapel was strewn with empty boxes at the end of the concert Even the family dog stood gallantly by his young mistress. In the midst of the opening number he galloped up the steps and mounted the platform, panting from his long run from town, and laid himself down under .the piano at Miss Paxton's feet, with a watchful eye on the au dience. If she was to come to grief, It was to be through no neglect of his. The opening of the Country club cafe was held Monday night, with a dinner dance. Mr. Chester Woodward is chair man of the house committee this year, and -he is assisted by Mr. Clifton Heaton and Mr. E. A.' Tirrill.
