i ORGANIZE NEW CLUB AT LAST Mrs. Poster's Crowd Has Let Down Membership Bars. "Shawnee County Political Ser vice Club" Is Name. After weeks of factional strife and fights for supremacy, the Doster-Monroe factions in the Good Government club have come to the parting of the ways and each crowd will travel a separate course in the future. The formal split in the Good Government club came Friday afternoon when the Coster forces used the pulmotor on the Shawnee Suffrage club and re vived it to being as the Shawnee Coun ty Political Service club and an ad junct to the Kansas Good Citizenship league. The new organization will live true to its teachings and has thrown Its doors open to the public. It was on the question of admitting all aplicanrs of good moral character as members of the organization that the crowd led by Mrs. Frank Doster went to war with the friends of Mrs. Liia Day Monroe. The Doster crowd charged that the Good Government club under the Monroe plan was gradually committing suicide, that it lived a life of misrepresentation and false hopes and preached a gospel that was not true to life. The Monroe crowd had limited membership to the approval of an advisory board. Mrs. Doster and her friends charged that the advisory board was subservient to the wishes of Mrs. Monroe and that women who applied for membership In the organization were rejected be cause they would not bow to the wish es of Mrs. Monroe. It was this situa tion that precipitated a fight in the club that has resulted in the organiza tion of a new club which will fight for supremacy over the Good Government club. Doster Club Was Beaten. Recently when the issues before the Good Government club were fought out on the floor of the club, it was freely charged that the Monroe forces gaveout newspaper interviews without the consent of the club mem bers, that they made recommenda tions to the city commission, without a vote of the membership and that the ethics and rules of the organiza tion were forgotten and trampled un der foot. It was a bitter fight for a few months. Mrs. Doster and her friends were loaded with argument. But Mrs. Monroe and her following had the votes. And the votes count ed. The Doster crowd left the meet ing badly beaten. Then there was a lull in the affairs of the Good Government club. Mrs. Monroe went abroad. She went to London to study conditions in the (Continued on Page Six.j TERSE TALES OF INTEREST Rverside, Cal.. July 18.

Alleging that he first induced her to change lawyer after the first attorney retained to collect money due on a fire Insurance policy had nearly com pleted his collection, and that he after ward withheld a portion of the money so received without her knowledge or approval, Mrs. Zella M. Harris today filed euit for $414.26, with interest and the costs of the case, against urana v.. Drenning, a local attorney and candi date for the legislature. Mrs. Harris alleges In her petition that Drennlng met her on the street and induced her to discharge W.. Euler, the attorney whom she had re tained to collect 11,200 of insurance. At the time of dismissal Uuler had. ar ranged a compromise for $1,000. Dren ning, she says, managed to enect a set tlement for $1,200. but that he advised her he had settled for $1,100. He after ward, at her request, transacted the business of settling a mortgage' of $785.74, but that in reporting to her he told her he had paid $800 ana od tained that sum from her, keeping the difference of $14.26. When the other affairs had. been dis posed of, says Mrs. Harris, she request ed DrenninK to settle, with her and to turn over the balance of money in his hands. She alleges that he not only re tained the $100 she says he fraudentiy collected,' and the $14.26 balance. sub tracted from the $800 paid on the mort gage settlement, but that he kept the ballance of $300 principal collectd from the nre insurance policy.

Hodges Promise Was First Re garded as a Joke.. 7 Politicians Did Not Think-He Could Do It. When Governor Hodges went to Ellsworth this week he fulfilled the last syllable of a promise made a year ago a promise to make personal In spection of each of the twenty-two state educational, charitable and penal institutions. He la the first governor In the history, of the state, to -person ally visit all of the state institutions during hte term of office. Shortly after Governor Hodges took his oath of office" he stated that he proposed to visit all of the state Institutions.- Not only did he declare that he Intended to make trips to tne vari ous state institutions, but that he pro posed to make a personal tour of in spection, and to familiarize himself with the work in every department. When the governor made a trip to -the Girls' Industrial school at Beloit a month ago, but one state Institution remained which he had not visited. That was the Mother Bickerdyke home at Ellsworth. This week the governor visited the Ellsworth insti tution. Politicians Laughed at It. The announcement of Governor una.a wov Mranlnl am Hnmethlnsr of I a joke in the state house when it was made more than fifteen months ago.

King George, who has been making great efforts to bring about a settlement -of the Irish home rule crisis, decided "ffchr inornintr to postpone- until later in the day his proposed visit to the great British fleet now lying at Spithead. He did so that he might be on hand in Lon don to receive early reports of develop ments in the conferences going on among the various party leaders. it is understood, that when the op portune moment arrives his majesty will tnrow nis great inuuence Lowa.ru the side looking. for an amicable set tlement. The belief prevails that such a settlement Is not far off. The government is believed to have offered the Unionists, In case they agree to abandon their demand for a "clean cut" exemption or the province of Ulster from the operations of the Irish home rule bill, to arrange that the whole of Ulster, with' the exception of the county cf Tyrone which, has a great Catholic majority, should vote as a single entity on the question of ex clusion from the home rule government. The Unionists demand that Tyrone shall be included in this arrangement j and this has been the cause of the I deadlock.. It's a Hard Life FGTEi.

In a few -minutes the police budget, by elimination of three of the additional five policemen, was re duced from $46,586 to $42,986. and the fire budget, by discovery of $3, 000 neft-over,". from $75,735 to $72,735. Commissioner .Tandy's budget was .'approved. Question marks were inserted after several of Commission er Newland's items. The commission split ..over the park commissioner's estimated expenses and adjourned in a somewhat ruffled way. The Big Four and the Little One was organized.. Bone. Tandy, New land -and the mayor are. crying -for lower levy. Porter is demanding funds for improvement of the health department., After the regular -meeting this morning the mayor laid aside his gav el, Commissioner Porter got a drink. Tandy and Newland fitted on. their glasses. Commissioner Bone sharpen ed his pencil in lieu of a --knife and the whittling began. The mayor .submitted amicably to the reductions In his budget fire and police departments. Commissioner Newland's budget was taken under consideration. He asks a new unit and $1,800 for extensions. One. not both," declared uommis- sioner Bone. "Aereed." said Mr. Newland. meek ly, "I'll talk It over with Superintend ent Stahl.-' No Motorcycles for Newland. Mr. Newland's request for a motor evele for hia repair man was also de nied. Commissioner Tandy moved that no' machines or motorcycles be purchased outside the police ana nre deDartments. The park commissioner's budget was nroduced. "Elevator included?" queried Mr. Cof ran. "It Is nit" Mr. Porter replied. Then the atmosphere became tense. Mr. Porter's request for an appropria tion of $1,760 for new switch board in the auditorium was not regarded with approval. The park commissioner prefixed his submitted estimates for the sanitary department with a little speech: "I don't want my health appropria tion cut down," he announced. "We are spending thousands of dollars an nually for the protection or property. I'd rather- protect the babies. I want a' bacteriologist to examine water. want the milk- department Improved. I want the city to feel proud of its health department. i "If '.there's any department that heeds extra money. It's the street de partment," broke In Mr. Tandy. "We don't want to allow any de partment extra money," returned the mayor; "we want everything cut down to the lowest possible figure." "I don't,:'. retorted JLr. Porter, took another drink of water, and tapped the table with his pencil. The commission adjourned abruptly. It looks most favorable for a lower I levy and lower taxes. m FlTl EVERY FT.CFESSD Three Preachers and Six News papermen on List. Twelve Office Seekers Are on the MRetiredw.LIst.

His Destination Is Believed To .;Be Jamaica. Puerto Mexico, July 18. It was an noimced today that General Huerta had decided to depart from this port on board the German cruiser Dresden, General Blanquet alone accompanying him. It Is understood the Dresden will proceed to Jamaica, but this has not been officially announced. None of the refugees will be accommodated on board the British cruiser Bristol, which had been utilized as a refuge by many of the fugitives here. Owing to their unsuccessful efforts to charter the steamer City of Mexico for the voyage to Jamaica and to their un willingness to accept the Mexican gun boat Bravo about 40 of the fugitives, mostly women, will proceed on the City of Mexico as ordinary passengers to Galveston by way of Vera Cruz. It is thought probable that the gunboat Bravo may -eventually be used to carry still others of the fugitives away from Mexico. A message was sent late last night to the new government, asking for permission to use the gunboat and an affirmative reply arrrved this morn ing. General Huerta and Gen. Blanquet rose at 6 o'clock in spite of the fact that work had. kept them up till after midnight. The former provisional presi dent had not left the railroad car since his arrival here. During the latter part of the night Huerta suffered a slight attack of Indigestion and those about him this morning found him in an un amlable mood. The problem of pro viding food for the refugees was not an easy one. T The stock of food stuffs on board the sleeping cars had become exhausted' Land it was found' necessary to bring meats to the train from a restaurant in the: vicinity. Neither Senora Huerta nor Senora Blanquet had seen her. hus band up to 7 o'clock' this morning but plans were then being made, for an In terchange of calls before, the departure of Gen. Huerta and his former minister of war. Milan Not Hurt Mncb. Washington, July 18.

Caillaux. wife of the former French premier and minister of finance, will be taken to- morrow from the St. Lasare prison tot the Conclergerie adjoining the palace of Justice to await her trial beginning; Monday for killing Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro, on March 1$. The prisoner is to be lodged in tne emu occupied in 1903 by Mme Theresa Humbert, while under trial on charges) i of swindling the French public out of several millions of dollars. Mme. Caillaux's health appeared to be much better than when she was ar- rested in March. It reported she In tends to apply for a divorce after the trial, whatever Its outcome, as she Is said to consider that by so doing; she will show the greatest mark of her love for her husband, since by remain- ing witn mm sne tninks sne wouia prove an obstacle to his political ca- reer. The trial is expected to last at least five days. The space in court usually occupied by spectators is to be given up almost entirely to newspaper men, 142 of whom from all parts of the world have been allotted places in the press dox. uaaiy enougn tne seat im mediately behind Madame Caillaux's position in the prison's enclosure will be occupied by a reporter from tne ngaro. Women Are Barred. Women are not to be allowed In the public section of the court but a few places nave been reserved ror them in the passage ways leading from the Jury rcom to the Jury box. Some commotion was caused todar tn legal circles by the report thst the authorities intended to place strong de tachments or municipal guards both in- side and outside the palace of Justice m oraer to prevent tne possibility of dls- turbanee as it has been stated that the royalists intended to make a demon- stration. Detectives wearing barristers' gowns and caps also are to be stationed about the court. Interest tn tfee trtal tncreases ht tn- tensity as the hour approaches for the public appearance of Mme. Calllauz. The newspapers again recite the series of political and Judicial scandals which attended the killing of Calmette while many columns are ruled with dlacus- sions of the case and rumors that some of the most prominent figures in pollti- cal world are to be examined in court. The testimony of President Ravmond Polncare will be read. The vital legal question m the case Is that of pemedi- tatlon. The nmjuwmtlnn MrmtrtA tv Procurator-General Jules Hebraox, de clares that the crime was deliberately piannea Dy Mme caiuaux tn order to rid her husband of a formidable op ponent.' The defense, on the other hand win seek to show that Mme Caillaux intended only to teach M. Calmette a lesson and that his death was an ac cident. Her counsel is Fernand 'La bbri, who became famous as the defen- der of Captain Dreyfus. ine questions to oe put to tne jury are. first: "Is the accused srulltv of wilful homicide?" and. second. "Was the homicide premeditated?" if tne jury replies yes to both Ques tions the sentence must be death. If the reply is "yes" to the first and "no" to the second question without exten- -uatlng ctrsumstances, the sentence must be hard labor for life. If ex tenuating circumstances are admitted. tne term must be hard labor for a period fixed by the ludarea and ranrtna from five to twenty years. The pre-, siding Judge has the right to ask the Jury: "Is the accused guilty of In flicting Injuries which caused death without having the intention to kill?" if tne answer is yes. the sentence is two years, which, however, could be suspended under the first offender's act.

Sn3 TCPiniA DAILY JCnAS-3AUn3JlT X3.1C2V'.: ps good ti;.:es ito Bank Co mmtagioner -Returns From East. Easiness Outlook is Brighter Than Ever. HIT FCa THE FALL INVEST Harked Improvement Then, Says C. -If. Sawyer. ..Cankers Are Pleased That Tells a Tale. Charles N. Sawyer, state bank cora- tnlssioner who returned thla week from a conference with banker in the east, believe that the business outlook for the state and nation ia much brighter than it has been painted in some sources. A general loosening; up of conditions In all lines of business will follow the moving of the bumper crops in the central western states this fall, ays the Kansas bank commissioner. While in the east. Sawyer was in conference with men in touch with financial affairs in the' -targe -eastern cities and he returned to Kansas full of new hope. Speculative business is yet uncertain, says Sawyer, but the business of the country is on a sound basis. 8awyer believes. About thirty representatives were present at the convention of bank supervisors which the Kansas bank commissioner attend ed In Atlantic City. Following this meeting. Sawyer went to Washington where he talked to members of the federal reserve board regarding the business outlook. Bankers Are Pleased. '"While business has .slowed down somewhat, it is not nearly as bad as reports from some sources would in dicate," said Sawyer. "I found the feeling general that there would be a marked improvement in all lines as soon as the splendid crops being har vested in central western states com menced to move and that conditions generally were sound and In position tor a marked business revival. "Of course the speculative business has (been very light for sometime," contin ued Sawyer. "Many-of our pessimistic reports come from our grain and stock exchanges. Tet the bankers generally isMm to be very well pleased. The new (federal reserve and currency acts, bankers believe, will prove the greatest 'pieces of legislation that have been en meted in recent years. There is a vast .amount of work to d6 to get the system in operation, but the work is being hur ried as fast as possible and will soon be pushed to a conclusion; "About thirty representatives were present at the convention of state bank supervisors. All of them reported con ditions in the state represented to. be sound and business conditions fairly good. Practically all of them expected to see' a great Improvement in business within the year."

HODGES Oil DUTY. (Continued from Page One.) No other governor had ever visited all of the institutions, nor had they tried to make the trips. Some of them had openly stated that the trips to the asylums and penitentiary and chari table institutions were personally dis tasteful and they didn't go. Gov ernor Hodges also said he preferred not to make some of the tripa To some of the institutions he made A half dosen trips. He has on several occasions visited the penitentiary ana reformatory. He has met personally several hundred of the Inmates of these institutions and some of the paroles granted during his administra tion nave been the result ol personal investigation of the cases of men he met behind prison walla Friend of the Bora, In the industrial schools, the gover nor has taken an especial interest. He has made rather frequent visits to the boys' industrial school north of To peka and he has met and talked to scores of the boys in the institution. Every detail of the work in the in stitutlons is investigated by the gover nor on his trips. He inquires concern ing the needs and the work ot the various departments, haa the personal acquaintance of almost every one -of the z.ooo employees in the various in stitutions and knows in more than a general way how the work of every department is handled. Several trips have been made to the educational in' stitutlons with members of the educa tional administration board and the same interest that is shown in the work at the prisons and state charities is manifest in the work of the boys and girls who attend the state schools. In a little more than a year all of the state institutions have been visited. It is an important event, in that no former governor ever performed a like service.

Several Influences Contribute to Ex pansion of Trade. New York. July 18. Bradstreet's says: "Reports this week spell better ment, moderate in some instances but totalling sufficient to deserve mention. Needed rains have fallen in some dis tricts, the general crop situation has improved, clearance sales .and hot weather have enlarged the turn-over of summer goods, and reports from the iron and steel and allied lines, such as agricultural implements, car building and repairing, show a-continuance of the improved conditions. There are reports of a record move ment of winter wheat to market de spite some holding by farmers not sat isfied with prices, of a larger volume of sales and higher prices for raw wool and of favorable news from the automobile trade. "Bank clearings for the week end ing July 16 were 33,171,862,000, an increase of 4.26 -per cent over same period last year. Wheat exports were 6,962,000 bushels, against 8,(99,406 bushels last year."

LEUENBEROER. EDWIN LBTJBNBBRQBR. dev. NJETTXB UBUKNBJBROBR. DAUSOU IS HAPPY Kansas Glren a Cnanee at United Gas Concern. Besnlt of GoTernment Probe of Interest to Kansas. Dispatches from Washington an nouncing that the government plans the prosecution of the United Gas Improve ment company under the Sherman anti trust law, has brought Joy to the heart of John 8. Dawson, attorney general for Kansas, who is now trying to force tne prosecution of an ouster suit against tha corporation In this state. Announce ment made as the result of the federal investigation shows that- the TJ. x. baa holdings In Kansas. Dawson has for three months sought to get service on the company and to reach its prop erty to secure a possible Judgment. The Kansas suit against the U. G. I- is the result of startling revelations showing a close business association between the United Gas Improvement company, the Kansas Natural, the Kansas City Pipe Line company -and other corporations. aU working to ab sorb profits and show a Shaky finan cial condition in support of applica tions for Increased rates. At least that is the theory e General Dawson when he recently began suit against the U. G. L of Pennsylvania to oust the corporation from the state and to rorce the payment to Kansas of a money Judgment for violation of the anti-trust act. Since the filing of the suit, however. none of the U. G. L officials have visit ed Kansas. At least they did not no tify the state when they were within her borders, and Dawson haa to date been unable to secure service on the corporation or any of its official repre sentatives. The petition in" the case was filed In the Montgomery county district court three months- ago and Dawson has repeatedly declared that ne is anxious to prosecute the case. The federal Investigation now being nanaiea by Attorney General McRey nolds will probably develop some new evidence' ot Value to the state in the prosecution of Dawson's case. OLD STONE MISSION IN KANSAS. Oouncll Grove Was a Famooa Oatpoat of Early Days. Council Grove. Kan., July 18 The old native stone "Mission" In which Judge Thomas Sears .Huffaker taught the savage the ways of peace and progress in the early fifties, and where he in 18S2 taught the first class of white children in the state of Krvnvv, may still be seen in Council Grove. These buildings sheltered at times such noted characters as General George Custer, General William T. Sherman. Kit Carson. Wild Bill (Hitch cock), Colonel Leavenworth, and many others. Its parks, cLurches, business houses, homes, hotels, and garages are its pride, and the hospitality of these places and this people make it well worth a few hours of one's time "tee ing" a spot so sacred to history. Council Grove Is Indelibly connected with the history of the "Old Santa Fe Trail," now a division of the "National Old Trails Road" from coast to coast. The superb condition of the highway, as maintained by the national organi sation, assisted "ably- by the various state organizations, is attracting more and more travel, 'arid it is the predic tion of such seasoned cross-continent motorists as A.

IVORKVSJPOLITICS Difference in Operation of a State Institution. Report of "Surprise Visit" at Hutchinson Reformatory. Rffflna uxe qbbzi Reform School Managed Like a Business House. Inside and Out of Superintend ent Herr's Departments. Kansas owns and operates a state In stitution that is little known outside of politics or some other source of bias. It has been visited by politicians and criminologists, and their expansive theories concerning affairs inside the four stone walls of the Hutchinson re formatory have been put In print, and It seems presumptuous to write any thing on the almost sacred subject. On Thursday of this week Superintendent Herr and his reform shop were visited by a reporter, who was not under or- ders to get a political interview or get a line on some alleged scandal hatched in political circles. The uninstructed, unsent and uninvited visitor found con ditions so different from anything he had read or heard about the place, that the visit was almost like the discovery of something new. First, from the anguish and alarm exhibited by the "outs" when the place was politically renovated and- a few Democrats given Jobs on the payroll, ono got the impression that it was not only the largest institution under state control, but that there was something bout its management that precluded the possibility that any but a follower of the Republican ticket or some of its derivatives was competent for the task. Both these Impressions were dispelled. The Hutchinson reformatory occupies a space exactly the size of the statehouse grounds in Topeka four blocks, sur rounded by a wall with a cute little tone bird cage on each corner. At one corner is the main building, and inside the stone wall are several other build ings, each housing the machinery Inci dent to some trade. Everything seems to be running smoothly, and big improvements are under way. It is along the north side of the enclosure, and leading east from the main building, that may be seen the greatest monument to Kansas politics In the whole state. It looks like a choice find in antique ruins; it is mere ly the unfinished east-wing cell house that was abandoned to the elements through politics, thousands of dollars worth of state property butchered, not to make a Roman holiday but to make the figures In the auditor's office at Topeka show "administration econo my." This cell house was practically iln Ished. with the exception of the roof. The heavy stone walls and, the heavy stone and steel cells were, built, and then left to the elements. The huge hoisting device to lift stones into place was allowed to rot down. It will cost thousands of dollars Just to remove the coating of rust from the steel work of the cells it will cost more, in fact, than it would have cost, while the materials and machinery were on hand, to have put a roof on the struc ture. That is the "economy" of a former administration that is being repaired by the "incompetents" now on the job. Dick Allen, Favored One. The only employee at the reforma tory who has lasted over from one administration to another Is Dick Allen. He has been there fifteen years, and so he Is a real veteran and knows something of the history of the place. One of the most jroticeable things around the Institution Is the air of co-operation among employees. They all seem to be busy with their own affairs and at the same time look- ,lng out for the best interests of other departments. And still another no ticeable thing is the interest the of ficers take in their charges. They make it a point to remark upon the good qualities of each prisoner and pass lightly over his offensea The Inmates do not act like prisoners, but more like hired men while out on their tasks. They work steadily and Intelligently at their various duties, and some of them are skilled me chanics. "Cap" Smith, a former contractor and builder, who has charge of the building and woodworking depart ments, is attempting to do a lot of work before a change in administra tion can remove him. The re con truction of the ruined part of the cell house and the completion of the build ing is the greatest Job ahead of him. Shawnee County's Contribution. Shawnee county has done Its share toward furnishing recruits to the lit tle army of "tough ones" at the. re formatory, and Sheriff Ktene has a wide acquaintance among the inmates. It was in his company that the recent visit was made, so It took a lot of time to see the institution 'because he baa to stoo every minute and visit with some youthful malefactor sent up by Topeka courts. In the woodworking department ne found one Lopes, a handsome young Mexican who now makes elegant fur niture instead of felonious entrance into the premises of others, and in the boiler room a Pottawatomie Indian; Joe Eta wan, who Is shoveling coal and getting some of the cussedness stewed out of his system. As he passed through the various scenes of industry Kiene talked to a aosen or more other Bhawnee county products, some had. some worse, some victims of circumstances, and all in sisting that they were awfully gooo boys and wanted out. A review of the books kept on the behavior of each in dicate that some of them were cheerful prevaricators as to their conduct. But for. each the sheriff had a kind word, and he left them smiling when he said good bye. Boy and His Honor. Some strange stories are told of the reformatory inmates and their ideas of honor. Rarely do they tell tales on each other or violate a trust. Not long ago a boy, who was a trusty and work ed on the outside driving a wagon dur ing the daytime, was sent to town alone. He made the trip, as he had on several other occasions. He bad all day in which to escape, could have left nis team, caught a frelgnt train ana been miles away before his absence was even suspected. But he put away his team, cleaned up his day's work in shipshape and then spent several hours of ingenuity and strenuous effort In climbing over the high stone wall to freedom. At the reformatory Inmates have more chance to "frame up" revolts or schemes of escape than do the prisoners at the penitentiary. The restrictions of prison life are absent. They talk to gether and to the officers, and have many privileges, and considering the fact that many of them are naturally bad, the wonder is that they are so successfully handled by the small num ber of guards and officials. Many of them work on the reformatory farm. outside the walls, where the vegetables for institution use and the provender for tne live stocK are raised, and but two guards stand between these farm workers and the rest of the world. Herr Is Efficient. Before leaving the reformatory the sheriff and newspaper man called on Superintendent J. N. Herr. the sheriff to visit about the Inmates from Shaw nee, and the latter to renew an ac quaintance started in the legislature. And notwithstanding the press reports that a Democrat could not possibly manage the institution, the Incidental visitor got the impression that the Gentleman from Barber" is about as competent as any one could be. He knew the history of every boy, and had the books at hand to verify his mental catalogue. He keeps tab on the young offenders and handles them in a nrm ana Kindly way. When a boy doesn't get along well In one depart ment ne is tried elsewhere before be ing branded as bad. A Topeka boy who couldn't take any interest In tailoring. is getting a nice string of credit marks in the printing department. That Herr considers the health of his charges is attested by the fact that only three beds In the painfully clean hospital ward were occupiea, one by a boy who proudly exhibited a recently removed appendix in pickle. Three or four boys with sore fingers or temporary ailments, made up the entire hospital list. Mr. Herr seems to have but two vital interests, the first being the re- xormatory, ana tne second tne political possibilities of his friend Major Brown, ana ne aoesn't let eltner Interest con' flict with the other. The visitor's first impression of Hutchinson is a small town full of people and riles. There are more flies in one Hutchinson block than there are in the whole corporate limits of Topeka. But Hutchinson ha Homo- thing that Topeka has not. and that is an automoDue street sprinkler that aoes tne worn or about a dosen old fashioned tank wagons. "Harvest" is the general toplo of conversation and advertising In Hutch inson at present. Every store has some kind of a harvest sale; everything is sold at "harvest prices," whatever har vest prices may be. As for tempera ture, it was 107 (official) in Hutchin son, and 207 (estimated) in the Santa ire train that wandered back to To peka. All the passengers suffered even the gentleman who was going to get off at Lawrence and, gosh! how he dreaded it, because his last bottle was almost empty. H.G.P. March of Science. Doctor What?

'And, all in all. the classes of aU mankind abound. M. Shepherd, CIS Morris avenue. Every day of the year three thousand cows are milked in Shawnee county to supply the demand of the Topeka peo ple. In other word a one cow Is milked for every sixteen persons in the capital city. Two previous articles in this series on agriculture in. Shawnee county have dealt with, the commercial end of dairying In Shawnee county. The phase of dairying which relates to the city milk supply is a story In itself. The citv milk Inspector divides the men who handle dairy products in To peka into three cltascs A, B. and C. The men who distribute their own" pro ducts belong to class A. He who prac tices the wholesale method of disposing of his wllk and cream belongs to class B. The man who distributes the pro ducts of others is placed in class C. Practically every grocery store in the citv. numerous milk depots and the Topeka Pure Milk company over two hundred In all belong to the latter class. The man who seUa the milk to the man who is held responsible for its quality. The producer la held responsi ble for the condition of the cows and the premises generally. -Th citv milk inspector. Dr. Leslie Rowles. uses score cards put out by the bureau of animal Industry, wasnmgxon, TV J V. .1.1. l. J. A peneci score, wuum points for methods employed and forty points for equipment. In aneakins- of his inspection work, Dr. Rowles said: "The farmer Is prone to look upon the Inspector as a sort oi a. Rherlock Holmes. That is not our Irion. Th inspector's business la to tell the farmer how to get the best results from feed and bow to get tne mggesi money out of his business. Of course it is his duty to see mat tne miia is tary and healthful. Shawnee as Dairy County. There Is no Question about this be' coming a dairy county. Shawnee is Ideally situated. The market is here and the land is becoming so valuable that it Is difficult to make many lines of farming pay. On a dairy farm the land never goes backwaras. "The time is near at hand when dairying will not require so much labor. The improved milking ma chines relieve the farmer of a large amount of work, and from a bacterio logical atandnoint improve the milk, for there is not so much danger of contamination. "Formerly the man who sold mini In Toneka had of -necessity to compete with those who sold imitation milk and cream. It is not possible to stop the selling of the imitation brand, but this must be labeled as being an imi tation of the real thing. Consequent ly, there Is now fairer competition than ever before. "Imitation milk or cream Is prepared by taking the butter fat from rancid butter and mixing It with skimmed milk powder and skimmed milk, using the proner proportions so that it will stand a test. The condition of the milk in Topeka is improving rapidly. Pore-Bred Oattle Pay. "Every farmer should own a Bab- cock tester. The test is very simple. The farmer may ascertain whether his milk Is up to standard." Dr. Rowles is a strong advocate of pure-bred cattle. It takes no more feed for a 1500 cow than for a 975 cow, and the profits are many times greater. A. man who has a herd of twenty-five pure-bred cows expects to pay all running expenses through the sale of milk. Through the sale of young calves it Is a common thing for those who handle the best registered stock of producing strains to realise $100 each, dood registered cows will bring big money. For example, Doran and Oliver, who keep high-grade Jer sey cattle, recently turned down an offer of $500 each for a number of cows. The Guernsey cow is excellent for the production of butter fat. It Is a good milker. The Brown Swiss cattle are good millrers, but they are missing among the Shawnee herds of pure' bred cattle. In and about Topeka the Jersey herds have the record for the highest percentage of butter fat, ac cording to Dr. Rowles. Fauvic's Opal Fox, a Jersey cow of unusual merit, imported from Jersey island, and owned by Doran and Oli ver, was started June 1 on a year's test conducted under the rules estab lished by the American Jersey Cattle club. The test is being made for the purpose of procuring a "register of merit." litis would place the cow in the class of the elite. A representative of the State Agri cultural college will occasionally check the record. The milk will be weighed and tested. Dr. A. B. Jeffry, who is an author ity on infant feeding and the milk problem, has been donating his serv ices to the city milk inspection de partment and the Topeka Public Health Nursing association. Fa tare in the Bnstoess. It Is interesting to note that the lat est type of milking machine was re cently procured for the Guilford Dud ley dairy farm, near the Country club, a Sharpless mechanical milker. The machine imitates as nearly as possible the working of a calf's mouth. It Is possible to milk three cows at one time and it is said to take from six to ten minutes to do this. There is a big future for the dairy industry in Shawnee county. Even now more money is paid for the milk produced in this county than is paid for that of any other county of the state, but possibilities have not been touched. Pure bred cattle are gradually replacing the "scrub stock." and when the day comes that the lat ter class has entirely disappeared. Shawnee county will possess a great asset in its cattle.

The committee of the general managers of the western railroads and the chief of. the Brother hood of Railway Engineers and Fire men spent today in preparation to sub mit their wage dispute to the federal board of mediation, hastening here from Washington, to open session Mon day. Acceptance by the men's leaders of the federal offer of mediation after they had declined to consider it, alleg ing that the roads had not been bound in the pact by arbitration decision roused hopes that the wide differences between the enginemen and firemen and their employers might be adjusted. No compromise offers between the 55,000 enginemen and firemen of the 98 western roads and the operators have been made public. Conferences be tween .the .union leaders' and the man agers were suspended Thursday after exchanges of letters indicated no wav ering on either side. The managers declared that the men demanded, fifty per cent advance In" wages,' which was impossible to grant in the present state of the railroad business.

And now Mrs. Monroe is coming home 'to find the membership of her club split asunder. Many of the old members of the Good Government were present at the formal organization Of the new wom en's club the club which has for its purpose supremacy over the old order. In addition to Mrs.. Doster and her old friends and advisers, were scores of women who will become active, work ing members in the organization. For Political Service. At the meeting was also Mrs. Gene Vieve Chalkley of Lawrence, president of the Good Citizenship League, a state-wide organization with a mem bership that extends into every dis- trict in the state. Mrs. Chalkley talked to the women who launched the new political service club: Ar rangements' were made for entering the new Doster organization,, as an auxiliary of the state-wide league. With this association and co-operation, the new Doster society will im mediately become an organization of state-wide standing. But Mrs. Doster is not alone in her fight. In fact, it is Mrs. Doster's fight, in the minds of the general public, only because of the fight wjiich she organized and directed against the. iron rule of Mrs. Monroe in the Good Government club. With Mrs. Doster' will be associated Mrs, W, A- John-. Hton, wife of W. A.. Johnston, chief Justice of the supreme' court. Mrs. Graves, widow of the late Justice C. B. Graves, Mrs. B. B. Smythe, curator for the Goss- collection and a former' Good Government; club worker, are listed with -Mrs. Dorter in the fight to put the new organization on the map as a body that represents the interests of Topeka women of every social class and political faith. Let Down Bars. "We will let down the bars to all women who wish to associate with us in our work." said Mrs. Doster today. "There will be no dividing lines and every wo men will be equal and with equal rights. Our work is to promote the better in terests of the women of Kansas, to aid in suffrage worki n other states, if need be. The women who have come over to the new olub.from the Good Government ciuo nave come, T believe, mainly be cause we stand for the things in which they believe but were not recognized in the old organization.'"'

Monterey, -July 18. Seven thousand constitutionalist troops have been or dered to march toward Mexico City to be ready, to preserve order there In case of an -outbreak. The 'troops ordered to march r to ward the capital are under command of General Jesus Carranza, brother of the first chie& of the constitutionalists. and. who 'has V been operating In the; neighborhood of Pachuca, state of Hil dago. ',Pachuca-' is:"on!y a' few hours' ride ly railroad from .Mexico City. constitutionalist' officials claim., to have '37,000 to S8-.000 troops' within 24. hours" ride, by rail of the. capital. There is a feeling here among high constitutionalist officials that Carbajal now occupies a position similar to that held in former times by Antonio Carrrera, .who was left. to. keep order when .Santa. Ana left Mexico. 'They feel, that Carbajal in the-same-way in which he accepted Huerta's seizure of the governarant when he was a mem ber pt the-supreme, court wilt' accept the '.'present situation and turn over the 'reins of gov ernmest without 'con ditions. No communication has yet been received from CarbajaL To Avoid. Bloodshed. Washington, Jaly 1& To demonstrate that, the new provisional government in Mexico wishes to restore peace without further bloodshed. Francisco Carbajal, Huerta's successor;, ordered the federal forces, to evacuate San Luis Potoslone of the -large cities in central Mexico. General 'Carranza,- the constitutional chief; has sent a commission, to Celeya to meet the. three commissioners sent from Mexico City- by Carbajal with au thority to arrange "for 'the transfer to the constitutionalists. .These advices were 'received "today, at the Mexican embassy by Jose Castellot,' personal rep resentative' here of President Carbajal. Mr. Castellot said that since the consti tutionalist forces had arrived In front of San Luis Potosl and there might .be difficulty in arranging a suspension of nwuuues it was deemed more con venient to give the city to the constitu tionalists without further conflict and manifest at the same time the willing' ncss of the Carbajal government to ar range- peace. He had received -'no aeiimte information, -however.' as to whether the evacuation had occurred as yet.- Unofficial reports from Matamoras last night indicated that the federals had not departed.

A Catholic churuch, a Jewish synagogue, a police station and the Patrick Henry public school. surrounding Columbus Square, created ant appropriate setting for tilt park commissioner's experiment which no longer is an experiment. Four blocks away, a free municipal band con cert competed with the moving picture show for the popularity prize, but less than 2,000 attended the concert. The only reason more perrons did not' see the free "movies" was 'lack of more standing space.

At the request of many Topeka people Slgnor Creatore has consented to include in his program next Thursday at the fair grounds Tschaikowsky's remarkable overture "1812." No other band known has been able to handle this overture In the way it is presented by Creator's band. It is wonderful to observe how Signor Creatore brings the different sec tions of his band Into action and as quiet ly retires them at his command; how sharp the attack and equally marked the finish. It is always with a feeling of regret that the audience bears the last strains, but each one present carries the memorv of the music for days and weeks to come. It is well known how this symphonic poem It can scarcely be des cribed as an overture Is based on Nanoleon's retreat from Moscow. A broad, flowing melody, taken from one of the Chants used in the .Greek church awnn thc work, and this is presently suc ceeded by some picturesque "battle miuie." At niM time high above the tu mult arises the-"Marsellaise,-" at another a thn of Russian extract appears, the two motives alternating as the fight Stves the advantage to first one side, then tha other.

The Golden Belt Route will be marked on "Pole Painting; Day," July' av. so mat motorists will follow the broad yellow bands on the poles to center of Topeka's business district. The comparatively few tourists who do not ear to "take In" the capital city will follow the. present route on the north aide of the Kaw, whUe the other autolsts will cross the river by means of either the Melan bridge or the new bridge by the brick yards. The Yellow j markings will direct them along West sunn avenue or lower Kansas avenue. Gage boulevard will be used in the new routing, and tourists may take advantage of the shade and picnic facilities at Gage park. The Red Line, aiso teaaea tourist sto the main en trance of Topeka's beauty spot. j Amto club Takes Action. The new arrangement for., the Golden Belt motorists has been talked of for some time, but it was when George Caldwell of Sallna, secretary of the Golden Belt association, met with the members of the Topeka Auto mobile club at the Commercial club quarters that definite decision was made to paint the poles so as to direct tourists to the business center of the city. This will mean something to the business men of Topeka and they will doubtless be willing to do their share of the work of painting the poles in Shawnee county by going out them selves or sending substitutes. According to Secretary Caldwell, who Is making a tour of the Golden Belt from Kansas City to Denver in the interests of the road, all the coun ties between here and Kansas Citvl have agreed to paint a yellow band' around every pole. The paint will be furnished by the Golden Belt associa- j tion and it is up to the auto clubs in each county to put on the paint. H. S. Putney, president of the Topeka Automobile club, will direct the opera-i tions for Topeka. He will be assisted j by E. I. Overton, who had charge of the work of marking; the Bed Line. Volunteers are wanted to furnish automobiles for "Pole Painting Day" to handle the paint brushes. The Cost Is High. It will cost hundreds of dollars to mark the Golden Belt, but tn order to prevent the interstate motorists from going over other routes, it is felt that the work Is a necessity at this time. The road has previously been marked and they in some. Instances have faded almost btyond recognition. Autolsts now pass through Topeka daily on this route, and in 1915 it is anticipated that travel will be increased by several hundred per cent on account of the big fair at San Francisco. Metal danger signs have, been placed at turns along the Golden Belt, and these have proven of great assistance to motorists. The golden ring that will be painted around the poles the last of the month will be eighteen Inches wide. Several changes have been made in the routing of the Golden Belt. It now goes through Kansas City. Kan. The poles have been marked so that tourists are guided on the trip east directly to the ciub nouse or tne Kan sas City Automobile club. This club! has recently become affiliated with the Golden Belt association. Automobile Notes. The first t91B Regal seen In Kansas is on display at Topeka. It was given a durability test by Matthews St Wash burn of the Independent Auto com pany.

All Foreign Rights Reserved. CHAPTER V. i SORT of false quiet, like the calm A that broods between storms, kept all serene at the Marvin mansion for a week after the aeroplane catas trophe. Little had been seen of Harry, -who was busy with directors' meetings and visits to the factories. Owen, the secre tary, had read with alarm of rumors that some one had tampered with a wire of the wrecked biplane. But If the authorities were investigating he saw no signs of It, and suspicion pointed no finger at him. What puzzled and worried Owen more than anything else was his own mind and behavior. Having no belief in the super natural, he could not account for the dream which had thrown him Into a criminal partnership with Hicks. Hicks had black mailed him in the past, and there was no body he had feared and hated more than this vulgar and disreputable racetrack man. Yet Hicks had appeared -to him in a dream, and Owen had promptly done his bidding, involving himself in what would probably turn out to be murder. The newspapers reported the French aviator as barely living from day to day. Owen suffered the torment of a lost soul, but at least he had no more dreams. Illusions or spectral visitations. Hicks called him on the telephone once or twice but the secretary refused to talk with him. Pauline, too, had a busy week. Besides her usual social activities, she rewrote and finished her new story. It seemed to her even better than the one accepted and printed in the Cosmopolitan Magazine. "This will surely be taken," Pauline thought with a little sigh of regret, "and that means the end of my year of adven tures She had determined on this course the night after the accident. It was after mid night, and Pauline, in bed but wide awake, was trying to marshal the exciting recol lections of the day Into the orderly mental procession that leads to sleep. Very faintly she heard what sounded like the musks of a distant mandolin. Pauline knew it was Harry, went to the open win dow and looked down on the dark lawn. There he was playing with a bit of straw Instead of a pick that his music might not disturb the sleepers in the house. His entire audience consisted of Moses, the venerable coach dog, who sat on bis haunches and meditated profoundly. "How did you like that. Mose?" asked Barry as he finished his tune. Moses replied wkh a cavernous yawn that ended in a squeak, after which he lay down. "Aw, now, Mose, It Isn't as bad as all that, is it?" asked Harry In a grieved voice- Pauline wanted to throw her arms round, him and promise not to cause any more worry. But she didn't, because she couldn't reach him from the window, be cause in her nightgown, as she was, it would not have been proper, but chiefly she wasn t quite sure she could 4?' This Is from the Motion Picture Film of "Pauline" by the Path Players The Lood-Voieed TOfW TeDs 12 lrtpaaeroa to tWW Presented by Thi hla nerveless grasp, w'hile her Hps whisper a strange message from the remote past. Restored to consciousness by Harry and Pauline, the old man believee it to be a dream until later he finds the identical bracelet on the mummy' skeleton wrist. He promises Pauline one year to see life and placee her In the guardianship of Owen. A final heart attack givea him juat time to write on the doctora prescription pad a brief will. Then he dies. A lawyer telle Owen that he would have permanent charge of Pauline'a estate If something should happen to her before marriage. Hicks, a racetrack man, whispers a sug gestion to Owen, but the secretary re fuses to have anything to do with him, for the time at least. Owen arranges for Paulino to go as a passenger on an aero plane In a race, aa the first of her year's adventures. keep such a promise. Long- after Harry and Moses had gone Pauline decided to finish her story, send It to a publisher and let his decision be hers. 'If they accept it, you stay home and marry Harry," she told the pretty face under the filmy nightcap which smiled at her from the mirror. "But If they dare reject it, Harry will have to worry, dear boy though he Is." So Pauline lost no time In finishing and submitting her manuscript, inclosing a special delivery stamp and a request to please let her know at once. She wanted to relieve her lover's mind as soon as pos sible. On Saturday every thing went wrong at once. Pauline received a bulky letter in the morning's mall. It was her neatly typed manuscript and a short letter de clining her story. The editor thought it charming, showed wonderful imagination, gave great promise of future success, but there was a lack of experience evident throughout a little unreal, he added. He ventured to suggest that the author would do well to travel around and see the world from different angles. During the after noon Harvey Schieffeltn dropped in for a call. He had found her story in the Cosmopolitan and complimented her. Then he began to lausb. "Polly, that's a bully story of yours, but you ought to have gone down and watched some stokers at work before you de scribed that scene." "What was wrong In my description?" demanded the young authoress. "Well, you told of a stoker laying his grimy hand on the fire door and pulling it open to rake the fire." "Well, couldn't he do that?" "Oh, yes," laughed Harvey, "be could, but he wouldn't do It more than ones. Those doors are almost red hot and would burn the flesh off the stoker's band, whether H were grimy or not. I'll show you on my yacht some time. What you need is" "Harvey, don't you dare tell me I need experience," interrupted Pauline with un expected heat. Young Scbleffelln saw that tears were almost in her eyes. "Well." thought Schieffelin, "this vein leads too close to water," and he hurried to shift the course of the conversation. But the damage was done. Pauline took her story to the little open fireplace in her room and destroyed it. At the same time she destroyed her resolution to give up the year of adventure. There could be no question, she needed experience. Her adopted father had admitted It, the editor had said ft, and even an empty-headed young man like Schieffelin could see it. She was sorry for Harry, but it couldn't be helped. She picked up a copy of "Treas ure Island" and soon wished fervently that the days of pirates were back again. Owen gave up his fight against mor phine late Friday night. Saturday he was at peace with the world. Gone were all the nerve clamorlngs and with them went his scruples. All day he kept a furtive watch upon Pauline, and even heard her envious remarks about pirates to Harry wnen he returned for a week-end at home. Owen sympathized with Pauline In her (Jf S3? J- y Written by Charles Goddard, the Distinguished Playwright, "The Llbbad- ing Lady," "The Ghost Breaker," "The Man from the Sea," Etc, regret that pirates were extinct. A pirate would have been very useful to the secre- tary Just then. However, there were other cutthroats, plenty of them, and perhaps some other kind would do. There were gunmen, tor instance, but an honest District Attorney had lately made these murderous gentle men of the underworld almost as quiet as pirates. He. was still pondering when Hicks called again on the telephone. This time the secretary responded and made an immediate appointment In a cafe near Forty-second street. Owen related the events of the week, ending with Pauline's hankering tor pirates. The two men got their heads to gether and rapidly evolved a plan. From the oaf e they took a taxi and rode along the water front, first on one side of -the island of Manhattan and then on the other. The cab stopped near the worst looking saloons, while the two schemers entered and looked over the sailors and longshoremen refreshing themselves at the bars. After covering several miles of water front they had collected as many as a dozen abominable barroom cigars and a few equally dubious drinks, but had not yet found what they were looking for. On Front street they both saw a man, and both cried out: "Look, there he is." The man was a wild-looking specimen. He had the rolling gait of the deep sea. A squinting eye gave him a villainous leer, while a bristly beard and long gray hair made him a ferocious spectacle. His age was doubtful, as the lines in his ruddy skin might have been cut by dissipation as much as age. The most prominent feat ure of his unlovely countenance was a nose, fiery red from prolonged exposure to sunburn or rumburn. "If be lsnt a pirate he ought to be one," said Owen. The man carried the top of a ship's bin nacle, as the round brass case which holds a ship's compass is called.- He entered the dismal portal of a marine junk shop. The taxi was stopped discreetly a block away. As Owen and Hicks approached the shop they heard a loud argument going on in side. ."How much do you want for It?" "Ten dollars. It's a brand-new Negus." "Ten nothing. You stole It, yon son of a sea cook. I'll give you a dime for It." "I did not steal it, so help me The captain of that 'lime Juicer over In the North River gave R to me for saving his little gal's life. He begged me to take anything I wanted, but I fancied this. IH tell you about it Then Owen and Hicks, listening Just out side, heard a fearful and wonderful tale. To relate it in the sailor's own words, stripped of the long deep-sea oaths, would be as impossible as to pick the green specks out of a sage cheese. In brief, the gentleman with the bin nacle, sauntering innocently 1 along the docks Friday night, had heard a commo tion on the British tramp which he re ferred to as a "lime Juicer." Some fifteen or more longshoremen had Invaded the ship, overcome the captain, tied him down and were about to kidnap his daughter. The teller of the story had walked in and thrashed them all single-handed, driven them oft into the darkness, rescued the little girl and released the captain. In gratitude the commander had made him a present of the binnacle head. At the conclusion of the story there was a pause, then the other voice answered: "You're a wonder. As I said before, TO give yon 10 cents for the binnacle and 90 cents for the story. Now you can take It or 111 have you pinched for swiping it." "Gimme the dollar," said the hero of the tale, and a moment later he passed down the street with the two eavesdrop pers at his heels. The sailor man, proceeding at a rapid pace, suddenly turned a corner like a yacht Jibing around a buoy and plunged into a dingy saloon. Owen and Hicks went in after him. Owen ordered and Invited the sailor to join them. The mariner accepted with alacrity, and entertained them with a vivid description of the character, descent and habits of the bartender, who listened with indifference as long as money was in sight. The sailor and his new-found friends grew quite sociable. They learned that hl name was Nelson Cromwell Boyd, that he had deserted from the British navy at a tender age, and since then had been through a series of incredible adventures and injustices, which disproved the old adage that you can't keep a good man down. Among other things he had been a printer for a while, thus accounting for such of his vocabulary as was respectable. He took a particular fancy to Hicks. At last Owen Intimated that he had a business proposition to discuss, and they adjourned to the sidewalk. "Do yon want to earn some money?" asked Hicks. "Well, that depends," said Boyd, doubt fully, v "Easy money," suggested Owen. "That's the only kind worth going after," commented the sailor. "That's where we agree with you, say friend," said Hicks. "We are after easy money and plenty of tt Plenty for us and plenty for you, too. It yon can keep quiet about tt" "Thafs the kind ot talk X Ilka to hear. But as honest man to honest sun. f want to warn you that there arastnt be too trill ti much work to st. I dont believe In the nobility of labor. I believe that work is the crowning shame and humiliation of the human race. It's all right for a horse or a dog or an ox to work, but a man ought to be above H. It's degrading. In terferes with bis pleasures and wastes his time." "I feel the same way," agreed Owen, "but somebody has cot to work to make shoes and food for us." "Yes," admitted the sailor, regretfully; "there will always have to be some work done, and I'm sorry for the poor guys that must do It. But there's been too much work done. Why, the stores are full of food and clothes and everything a man needs. We ought to break into the stores, take all there la ana everybody go on a vacation until they are used up. The city owes us a living, and as long as tt can pay "the debt what's the use of working? I'm against the capitalist; I'm for the poor laboring man, if hell only stop laboring. Work is Just a habit. All he's get to do is quit working and make the capitalist divide up with htm." "Those sentiments are very noble," said Owen. "It's all very fine to worry about your fellow man. But you would like to have plenty of money even It the rest of the world Is fool enough to keep on work lag." "I suppose so," said the sailor, "but Tm a reformer and my business Is to talk, not work." "That's Just what we want you to do," said Owen and Hicks in answer. Then they found a table in the rear of a saloon where they could talk hi peace and unfold their plan. Boyd was to be introduced to a foolish young girl who had a barrel of money. He was to tell her a deep-sea yarn along cer tain lines, and Owen and Hicks would take.? cs.re of the rest f "The question is,"' said Owen, "whether you can talk and act like a sort of re formed pirate." "What do you mean, 'deformed pirate'?" shouted the sailor. "D'ye see anything the matter with my personal appearance?" "No, no." said Hicks; "he likes your looks fine. He didn't say 'deformed,' he said "reformed. He means retired pirate. How about It?" "Leave that to me," he assured them, snd led the wsy out of the saloon and into still another grimy and disreputable plaee. It was Axel Olofeen's pawnshop and second-hand general supply and clothing, store. "Hi, Ole!" he shouted to the solemn faced Swede who emerged from a gloomy recess of the shop. "We want a pirate outfit; have you got one?" "Ay dunno; Ay do my best; Ay do what Ay can. A man can't do no more," said Mr. Olof sen, gloomlngly. "Well, get out the oldest pistols snd cut lasses you have, and some big knives. Let's see what you've got. you old square head." ordered Boyd. "Ay dunno; Ay do my best; Ay do what Ay can. A man can't do no more," re peated the Swede, lighting a gas jet and delving into his dusty stock. "Say, Ole, cut out that 'Ay dunno' bust nesa' or well go across the street and see Ikey. He sells cheaper than you, anyway." "Ya," groaned the morose Swede, "go see Ikey. He bane a crook and a robber. It bane got so now a honest man cant make no living some more." "What does an old petrified sou-wegesa grouch like you know about aa honest man anyway?" asked the sailor. "Gimme that Old percussion pIstoL" After much pawing over ancient, worn and rusty weapons, Boyd waa at last fitted oat. Ole was paid about 60 per cent of what he asked and left to the enjoyment of his Scandinavian melancholy. "You look like a pirate now, sure enough," said Owen, observing Boyd's ef fect on the driver of the tsxicab. "I look it, but I dont quite feel it yet." said Boyd, with deep meaning. "There is Something lacking." "What can It be?" asaed Hicks. "About three fingers of redeye," the sailor explained, pointing to a saloon. "That will make my disguise just perfect." In the saloon Hicks and Owen made a little map, wrinkled tt and soiled it on the floor, then gave it to the pirate. "Tell her," said Owen, "that it Is only a copy of your original, which Is all worn out." It was wen for the conspirators that they had a tsxicab wherein to hide from public view as they journeyed to the Mar vin house. 'The "pirate's" appearance would have stopped traffic anywhere to New York, and ho was a- glaring violation of the anti-firearms law, to say nothing ot other laws, human and divine. Nothing would induce him to rehearse his tale la the cab, hot he was persuaded to reduce his profanity as much as possible, even at the risk, as he feared, ot not msklng him self clear. Happy and carefree all the 'way up to the cab, he suddenly became moody and ugly at sight of the splendid Marvin mansion. It suggested wealth and Industry, and acuta he inveighed against the capitalists and the shame sad aggrada tion of a human bains compelled to work for a living. f The nearer the taxicab approached to the bouse the more talkative became the He demanded to know more de- f athe Players This Is from the Motion Picture Film of "Pauline" by the Fsmeus Paths Players. The "Pirate" Insists That He Has a Scheme for Pauline "She'll Sara See Something like She Newer Dreamed Of." taOs of what was to be done, and finally assumed an air ot authority. "You say that rich girl is crasy to see something worth wrltin' about? Now, I know something better than pirates and burled treasure," shouted the "pirate" con fidently. "Yes. no doubt," Owen replied sooth ingly and with some alarm at the man's bravado. "But it's pirates she is inter ested in just now." "Never mind 4 say I know something better," Insisted the "pirate." "If she will Co sad do what I'm goin' ter tell yer shell sure see something like she never dreamed of. Now listen to me sharp!" It waa an extraordinary proposition the -"pirate" made. Owen laughed a. gentle discouragement and shook his head, but Hicks fixed his eyes keenly on the man and was evidently turning the suggestion over hi his mind. The cab was now approaching the Mar vin residence, and with difficulty Hicks and Owen bent the "pirate's" mind back to the business of the moment. It was evident to both of them that this seeming ly harmless old liar had a serious and dan- gerous Imaginative side which must be reckoned with. Owen's key admitted the three to the front hall without ringing, but a maid hap pened to cross the hall and caught sight of Boyd. With a scream and a flutter she re treated. Owen seated his two confederates In the hall and went In search of Pauline, Compared with the picturesque villainy of the "pirate," Hicks's tawdry clash of colors now looked quite respectable. The maid having reported the presence of a "terrible looking man" in the hall, it behooved the butler to investigate. He stood in front of Boyd and frowned cold disapproval at him. Boyd half closed his squint eyes and leered back. "I beg pardon, sir," said the butler, with no response. "I say I beg pardon,, sir." Still no an swer. "I beg pardon, sir, but who do you wish to see?" By way ot answer the "pirate" drew a long, shining knife and whetted it on his boot, looking viciously the while at the butler. That dignitary promptly decided his services were needed hi the kitchen. Owen found Pauline alone In the library. Never did a villain propose a scheme to a beautiful girl at a more favorable moment. Half the afternoon and a little while after dinner she had been absorbing "Treasure Island." and now came Owen asking her it she would like to meet a reformed pirate and so on a -thrilling and adventurous ex pedition. "Owen, you are a perfect angel. Bring hi your pirate. I'm sorry, though, that he has reformed." Pauline shook bands with Hicks, but hardly noticed him. She had eyes only for the "pirate," who impressed her mightily. With awe and admiration aha saw his scowling and squinting eye run over her form and tnen travel about the room. Pauline approved of the "pirate," but the "pirate" did not approve ot Pan hue, and he almost told her so. But he met the warning eyes ot his con federates and restrained Mm self. He had his story to tell and he would do' it- After all, that was the best way to attack this girl and her fortune. "TeH us aboat the treasure," ssld Pau line eagerly. "Hush!" he shouted in a voice that made the girl jump. His hand flew to hla belt and whipped out a vfllsfaioos-looking brass pistoL Holding the pistol on high as tt tor Instant use, the "pirate", hastily locked the door, peered out -the windows, looked behind the hangings and then, apparently satisfied, addressed her:.. "IH tell you, but. by the blood of Mor gan, it one of you ever tells a living soul 101 cut Ms river out," said the "pirate." be traying his Ignorance of human anatomy by making a lunge with is knife at Owen's heart. Pauline gasped, and the secretary told htm that tt wasat considered good manners to point with a sharp knife. But they all swore to secrecy and the "pirate "I was but a slip of a lad when I rail away and sailed from Liverpool In the good brig Nancy Lee with as villainous a crew as I ever seen. Where we was bound for and why is none of your busi ness. Them that planned that voyage has cashed in their souls to their Maker and ah, well, as I was saying, they was a vil lainous crew, low and r vile and bloody- minded. I was the cabin boy and slept on the transoms in the captain's cabin. The weather was awful and the grub was worse. "But all went well till we reached the roarln' forties.' The skipper knew how to handle sailors you bet he did. When they came aft to kick about the grub he knocked 'em down before they said two words." Pauline gave a little exclamation of dls may at this point and the "pirate" turned to her in explanation "You see, knockin' 'em down quick like that avoids a lot of cross words and un pleasant arguments such as makes hard feelln's on long voyages. "Yes, as I was say in', all went well un til the second mate got to knockin' 'em out with his left hand, which the same was all right, too, but he was heard to pass a remark one day that he only hit landlubbers with bis left hand. "The crew they was insulted, and that very night the second mate went over board. Who done It nobody knows, least ways the captain couldn't find out. It maue tne oia man peevisn use ana ne got to arguln' with them sailors instead of wallopin' 'em the way he oughter dona, and one day they turned on him. "It was all over In a minute. They had the old man thrown and tied. The first mate came runnin' In, flrin' bis pistols, but they downed him, too. I took the wheel while they decided what to do. 'Bloody Mike,' their leader, had about per suaded the men to send the captain and mate to Davy Jones's locker and the car penter was rlggin' the plank for 'em to walk when I up and puts in a word. "I pleaded for their lives and, though Mike was dead agin' the idea, they voted to let them live. The last we saw. of 'em they was drlftin' oft in the Jolly boat with a jug of water and a loaf of bread." The mariner paused and Pauline sus gested delightedly: "And ss soon as they had cooled down they were grateful to you and made ro their leader?" "They did not." answered the "pirate." "They broached a cask of rum In the for ward hold, and I overheard 'em plotting? to throw me to the sharks." "How awful." said Pauline.' "Yes. miss," agreed the "pirate." It was awkward and embarrassing like for a mere slip of a lad. So I up and sees into the captain's cabin and gets all the pto tols and knives and cutlasses there was and brings 'em out on deck.

Topeka real estate dealers say there has been inquiry for city property in the last two weeks on the part of those who expect to come to Topeka to give their children the educational advantages afforded in the capital eity. .Some of these people expect to purchase property and others will rent. There, has been an especially brisk demand for bouses in the vicin ity of Washburn college. In speaking of the realty situation, W. A. Neiswanger, of Wilson Neis wanger, said: "We have had inquiry from persons who expect to spend the coming year in the vicinity of Wash burn college. We expect a good fall business." A. A. Bodgers, of A. A. Rodgers Co., stated: "Crop condi tions were never better in Kansas and there is no reason why there should not be unusual realty activity in the fait" Situation in Kansas. Following is the manner in which Fred B. Cooper sums up the situation in The Construction News, published in Topeka: "From all corners of the state of Kansas come reports of optimism from those who have carefully con sidered crop conditions. Although it is still quiet In building circles,' pros pects for the Immediate future are encouraging. The building men be lieve that the surplus in the farmers.' hands will go, not for expensive auto mobiles, but for better homes, larger barns and improved conditions both on the farm and in the city. "The lumbermen are particularly cheerful. One Kansas wholesale lum berman estimates that the building will be ten times as much as it was last year. Another says, 'I really ex pect to see the greatest lumber busi ness done during August, September, October and November in the history of Kansas.'

After two days spent in hunting for him the family horse belonging to Cur tis Myers, manager of .the tag depart ment of the office of secretary of state, returned to his pasture last night wear ing a disreputable biidle which he had evidently just-managed to loosen from its moorings in some unknown place. Myers and Undersherlff Hugh Larimer had been scouring; the southern part of the county and were returning past the Bradbury farm, near the Country club, where the horse had been pas tured, when they met him trotting down the road looking for a way to get back to his feeding place. That the t-nlmal had been stolen and concealed is the belief -of the under sheriff. In the course of the two days' search the county officers had been keeping an eye on a party of campers on the road south of the city. Their rather unsatisfactory accounts of a second camping party that naa just moved out led the officers to qui them closely. It was shortly after this examination that the horse reappeared. Myers and Larimer had driven all. the way to Carbondale looking for the missing animal, to- which the owner was very much attached by reason of his long; and faithful service.

"Capitol Laber" is alius a fine subjeckt to dash off a eddytoriul on being as it is a theam whitch you. cant exost the possibilities of no mat ter how mutch you write about it. For yrs and yrs past brillyunt writers has been writing about "Capitol Laber" they have wrote pages pages and vellums vollunu and yet what is the re sult, we ask? The result is that in spite of aU tint has been wrote said and did concerning "Capitol Laber" we know less about it today than we ever did whitch aint saying mutch being as we didnt never know nothink about it in the first place.. For these reasons we thort it would be a good idee to dash off a eddytoriul on this in teresting subjeckt for this ishue. "Capitol Laber" is a terrible deep questshion. If it wassent for laber there wouldnt be no capitol and if it wasnt for capitol why there wouldnt be no vise versa, so there you are. In other words one is independent of t other as you might say and yet if it was sent for both there wouldnt be neither. We hope we have made ourself dear to them of our read ers who flatters their selfs mat they possess signs of almost human intelngents. 4 Capitol tries to get laber to work for as near nothink as possible while all laber asks for is a eight hour day and enuff wages to pay the rent other necessities of life and the privilege to strike if it can think of ennythink else that it would like to have. In conclooshion we wish to say even at the risk of being- criticised and havink our readers disagree with us whitch we, dont care if they do, that capitol is all 7 right perviding you have enuff of same to keep the wolf from the door. but as fer laber a little of that goes a long way with most folks. This is all we can think of con cerning "Capitol Laber." Items Here, There Oter Yandsr We need rain bad. Be that as a mar however we dont alias get what we need. If we alius got what we need we would get 2 or 3 hunderd dol lars on back subscriptions from dead beet subscribers within the next 10 days.

Eph says he spent the hole of one afternoon recently trying to seperate these stamps from one another but it seemd that the more he monkeyed with em the stacker up they become and so he give it up in disgust Owing to the fackt that these stamps is stuck together in sich a fashion as described above Eph has decided to have a stamp sale at reduced rates of stuckup stamps. Until further nods 3 2-cent stamps will be' sold by Eph to whoever desires stamps for the insig nificant sum of 5 cts. Buy your stamps now while theyre stuck together and save, money.

Deacon Butter wot th who is not only one of our most respected dtti zena, but also a stanch member of .the Bingrille church had a awful experi ents last Thursday night whitch lasted all night and the reckolleckshion of whitch will flourish in the Deacons memry like a green bay tree for yrs to come we persoom. As e cry buddy knows the Deacon has a red Jersey bull whitch enjoys a reputashion of being cross. Only two wks ago that bull chased Hank Dew berry outen breath as he was crossing the Deacons pastchure where the bull is kept and would of gored him into the ground if It had of ketched him. Thursday p. m. it was turrible hot so the Deacon who was bilding stone fence knocked off work about 2 o'clock and went across to Hen Weathersbys Store to set in the shade on the front piazxer. with some of his nabers and vissit and smoke and engage in soshial intercourse. Well, the Deacon passed the time very pleasant for a cupple of hours or so then he started home. As he was passing along the pastchttre where the red bull was confined he notised that there was a bad break in the fence so 'he thort he would repair same at onct So he went right home and got a hammer ft some nails and being as it was still rarrible hot he tuk off his overshirt leaving on only his red flannel undershirt Then the Deacon set out acrost the pastchure never thinkin of the bull whitch wassent in sight until he got most haff way acrost the pastchure when he heerd a terrible beller behint him and looking around .blamed if there diddent come the bull full tilt for him with its head down and its tail in the air and bellering as threat ening as it could beller. At first the Deacon was parrylised with fear. He couldn't turn back be ing as the bull would ketch him before he got to the -fence and if he went ahead it would, ketch him. before he reached the fence on tother side He was in a awful perdickament and that bull comin for him like mad: All to onct the Deacon spied a big elfom tree wWtcfcb stands in the center of the pastchure and he made for that Ridickhis as it sounds the Deacon jumped dean into the lower limbs of this tree whitch is 16 ft from the ground whitch only goes to show what a feller can do when nes plumb skeerd to deth. Yes sir the Deacon jumpt ft ketched the lower limbs and pulled hisself up into the tree jest aa the ball passed under him and butted the base of the tree so hard it like to of shook him off. Soon as the Deacon found hisself safe a straddle of a limb he called that bull names until a respecktable fly wouldnt of lit on it He talked in sich a loud voice that he was heerd by the nabers on all sides and it was disgraseful to hear a stanch piller of the church lay to it and swear like the Deacon done. Then the Deacon hollered for help, but what good could ennyouddy dot No good! That bull was master of the premises. Quite a crowd was colleckted around the fence outside the pastchure and hollerd words of .encouragement to the Deacon, but they didnt dare ventchure inside. Thus night drew on and when the Deacon thort of having to remain up that tree aU night and likehr of a dropping off to sleep and losing his holts and falling down and being gored to deth by the butt, his blood turned cold and he offerd up a fervent prayer. AH evening by fits and starts the Deacon would pray a while then resort to perfanity. Thus the night passed. 7 When daylight come the Deacon was a good eal gratyfide to notis that the bull had wandered away from the tree over behint a hummick and begin to brouse. Without losing, no time the "won na aown tne tree, and run like aS if Satan was after him for the nearest fence whitch' he reached in safety. Then he went home an dis gust and told his wife Samanthy to jest cook his breakfast supper and din ner all in one being as he was so all fired hungry be could eat th mnw -offrn the watt. The Deacon thinks ft was his red flannel shirt that made the bull start after him. The Deacon desirea its t aaT ffiat he is now offering for sale to the high est bidder a red Jersey bull ansering the above descripshion whitch is sound in wind and limb and aint only got one fault he knows of said bull dont like red.
