There is hope in London today that the anniversary of the battle of Jena, in which the French gained a victory over the Prussians and Saxons, just 108 years ago today, may be celebrated along both battle fronts by events recalling thi great and decisive struggle, but whatever the out come only the briefest reports are re ceived of what is now transpiring In Belgium, in France and in Russian Po land. The latest French official communi cation declares there is nothing to re port except an advance in the region of Berry-Au-Bac. while Petrograd gives out the cryptic statement that warlike operations continue to develop along the Vistula and San rivers- as far as Przemysl and further south as far as the Dnelster. A great battle along this front may even now be under way and in any event it cannot be -long post poned. Vienna reports that the Austrian of fensive continues successful north and south of Przemysl, and that Jaroslau, an important fortress taken by Rus plans several weeks ago, has been re occupied by the Austrians. A dispatch from Nish. Servia relates that acting on the instructions 'of the German' gen eral staff, Austria has concentrated- on the banks of the Drlna the greatest army yet sent against Servia in a final and supreme effort to crash that, coun try. Fierce skirmishes already have been reported between outposts and a big battle is said to be imminent. Stubborn Fighting Reported: Nearer home news of military oper ations is even more meager than in the eastern area. Stubborn fighting is reported at (name deleted by censor), and it is claimed that all the efforts of General Von Kluck to smash the allies' left have been repulsed. General Von Kluck Is the commander of the German right wing. In the Baltic the German fleet is showing unusual activity. Submarines or a torpedo boat, according to the Berlin announcement, recently sank a Russian cruiser at a point distant two days' steaming from their base, and a great German squadron flying the flag of Prince Henry of Prussia is today reported cruising about the Aland islands. The ferment over the question of neutrality of the countries of south eastern Europe is increasing every where. An exception is found in the fContlnued on Page Two. BATTLEJUIIE AIR Thrilling Encounter Between French and German Aviators. One Machine Flutters to Earth Like Wounded Bird. Paris. Oct. 14. The activity of Ger man aeroplanes over Paris has brought tip a general discussion of the value of these machines in warfare, and a re cital of thrilling aerial duels between French and German machines. One French corps commander is quoted as having said that in his opinion a single aeroplane was as valuable as a division of cavalry. Aeroplanes are of the great est service in preventing surprises and few important movements of troops have been made which have not been promptly reported by aerial scouts be fore their completion. A daring encounter took place re cently between a German monoplane and a French biplane during a critical moment in the execution of an import ant maneuver north of the river Oise. The German machine was seen sail ing over the French lines Just before a strong detachment of troops was to start on a movement to the north. For the success of this maneuver it was vital that this sentry of the air be re moved, and a French biplane undertook the reponsibiltty. The French machine rose abruptly and in rapid circles, gained an altitude greated than that of the German, but even this advantage was not sufficient to drive the scout away. In a daring dive, in which he braved a heavy fire from the French lines, the German descended to a height of 1.000 yards and skilfully avoiding the French machine, he started to drive for the German lines.' The Frenchman seemed io nave tne advantage in speed, which has not often been the case in aeroplane encounters in this war. For a while the German was successful in keeping out of reach of the Frenchman, but the biplane.- continuing its flight at a consid erable height. finally attained an ad vantageous position. Then there could be heard the quick and sharp reports of a machine gun on the French flier. The monoplane floated for a few moments as if the pilot had lost control and then, fluttering like a wounded bird, on the wing, the machine started an oblique flight downward which ended in its crashing to the earth- NEARLY JS.OOO.000 IN BATTLE; 2.000,000 KILLED. WOUNDED AND MISSING Even the most startling predic tions made when the European war began regarding the number ot men that would be called into the con flict and the tremendous losses that would accompany it have teen borne out. Events now show that the na tions at war have men under arms or at the battle fronts as ioiiows: Russia 6.000.000 4.800,000 4,000,000 2,500.000 Germany France Austria England 250,000 300,000 80,000 Servia Montenegro Total 17,930.000 Col R. N. Maude, author of the "Evolution of Strategy," estimates the total German loss along all the battle fronts at 1.000,000; Frenchmen, 800,000 killed, wounded or taken pris oners; Austrians, in the Galician campaign, killed, wounded and pris oners, more than 500,000. Inflicting this damage, it is believed that the Russians lost at least 250,000. Thus the estimates of the killed, wounded and missing in the war so far are placed in the neighborhood of 2, 000,000 men. BATTLE jN POLAND Germans and Russians Are Fighting Around Warsaw. Armies in Contact as Far as the Dniester. Washington, Oct. 14. Russian and German troops are fighting already "in the country around Warsaw," the Petrograd foreign office cabled today. "A battle has begun on a line extend ing from the country around Warsaw and along the Rivers Vistula and San to Przemysl," reads the dispatch an nounced by Colonel Golejewski, mili tary attache of the embassy. The fighting also continues further to the south of Przemysl to the River Dneis ter. In East Prussia the situation re mains unchanged. Losnows German Aviator in Fight With Jn Made Get-Away.

CLUB ISTOR SALE Topeka Western League Fran chise Is on Market. Dick Cooley, Manager, Is Given Unconditional Release. Kfl FXEY BASEBXLL HERE Cities All Over Circuit Lost Heavily This Season. Waterloo, .la Decided It Not Want the Club. Did "The Topeka Western league base ball franchise is on the market." Arch M. Catlin. president of the lo cal club, made the above statement this afternoon and added that one of two things will have, to be 'done at once. Either the business men of To peka will have to get behind the team and give it their moral and financial support, or the team will have to be disposed of to any buver that can be found. Mr. Catlin added that the club's losses this season have been between Six and seven thousand dollars and I this burden has been borne by half a AUSTRIAN "JACK yeas- m. sr This is one of the monster Austrian siege guns which, because -of its size and power, the British soldiers have naa.ed "jack Johnson.". It was used with terrible effective-ess during the bombardment of Antwerp. dozen men who have been trying to give Topeka a ball team. The fran chise and players, according to the statement of Mr. Catlin can be bougUl for about $15,000. Upon hearing that Waterloo, Iowa, wanted to get into the Western League, H. A. Auerbach, one of the club officers, wrote to the Waterloo promoter, offer- ,.n.L, hnt an answer to this "8 the fra nchise, but anj answ er to tnis e"" sSatedtha tne PrPsition was too big for Waterloo to handle, Also, the matter of transferring the franchise to Kansas City, Mo., has been under advisement, and it is understood that Minneapolis wants to get into the Western and is in the market to buy a franchise. According to local baseball authori ties, the franchise could be maintained in Topeka on a paying basis if the sal ary limit were lowered, the schedule cut shorter and the games called at 3 o'clock instead- of 3:30. Every team in the Western league is rportea to nave lost money mis se- son, but Topeka's losses nave oeen heavier than most of them. The sale of the franchise would include th players and things included, $15,000 is a bargain price that some town will undoubtedly snap up. Manager Dick Cooley, it Is under fnnii was automatically released with I ICl- i c.a.nn onri should manager will have to be cnosen. ow- ever, the present owners oi me uuu seem to think that such a "get to gether' solution is a very improbable one.

A dispatch to the Central News from Copenhagen says: "According to a Berlin dispatch re ceived here the Germans are prepar ing to lay siege upon Belfort with as large a force as possible. Almost the entire population has left the city." Belfore is an almost impregnable stood- a siege for more than three months. The town has a population of 26.0000. Tonne Brady Weds Title. New York.

Immediately thereafter soldiers took possession ox the property. The act has caused a sensation here as the tramway company and the allied Mexican Light and Power company, limited, supply all the light, power,' heat and transportation within a radius of thirty miles of the capital.

Koenigsburg. Oct. 14. The Czar's Cossack hordes left a bruised and bleed. ing trail of destruction and woe across the fertile fields of east Prussia as they swept backward into their own land, smarting under defeat from German arms. I have reached this city after a 600 mile automobile trip through this area of dtruction following a path of Uvea,' of tortured women, men and chll-. area ana aevasiatea names aimusi un believable. I carried a special permit from the German general staff. Inhuman Cruelty. The battle fields of Taunenberg and BATTER ANTWERP I Neidenburg were bad enough, with their still present reminders of the sac rifice of human life, but the country side told stories, of murder, rapine and inhuman cruelty almost beyond belief. Around Neidenburg the Russian hordes satisfied their lust by violating scores of defenseless peasant women some of them 60 and 70 years old. The country side around this place near -the Rus sian frontier, where, the Czar's forces for a time reformed to fght against the overwhelming pressure of the German line forcing them back, was terribly devastated. The Russian soldiers took full re venge for their defeat on the women. Catholic sisters and young girls bore cruelties worse than the tortures of tbe battlefield and were left dying as the hordes passed on. The Russians killed every male they encountered who was of military age. The countryside has been stripped of all of its men be tween 14 and 45. Older men who feebly protested were ruthlessly slaughtered. "Nor was this horror confined to the country near Neidenburg. The Russian investment of Koenigsburg was accompanied by the same riot of lust. At Absthwanger, a tiny village 10 miles from Koenigsburg, 57 men and women were shot, including 8 boys between 14 and 19. "I heard the stories of some of those who witnessed these scenes of blood, slaughter and pillage. The father of a 14 year old boy. his eyes bloodshot with days of weping, told me how the Cossacks shot down the little crowd one by one. One by One. "They were not killed in one vol ley." he said. "The Russians shot them one by one. My wife and myself got on our knees and prayed to God that our boy might be spared. We saw him, his bands outstretched to us in an unavailing appeal, that we aid him. They bound my -wife and myself to gether and Iorced us to see our own baby for he was a mere child, fall before their bullets, as he cried to us to aid him. V "Here at Absthwanger, also, I went to the sick bed perhaps the death bedof a young widow who raved in delirium of the horrors she had wit nessed. The Cossacks forced her to stand at a window and witness the shooting down in the garden, of her husband of a month, her 73 year old father and her 62 year-old father-in-law by three Cossacks.' "Pastor Rockel at-Greesxenen told me how his brother was beaten to death by a Cossack who prodded the dead body with his lance and gouged his eyes out."'- y, V r Bryan Asks About It. Washington.'

Since Tuesday evening large num bers of the political cards tacked on telephone poles in the city have been torn down by the police and other par ties.

"The police force of Topeka Is too small for a town this size," said Josiah Ross, chief of police, in reference to the matter today.

NIGHT OF ROBBERY Three Burglaries and One Pick pocket In Topeka. Police Unable tO Stem Tide Of Law Violations. Three burglaries and one pickpock et in Topeka last nic" "No clue," comes the customary report from police head-, -arters. The home of J. R. Koontz, general freight agent of the Santa Fe, at 1314 Topeka avenue, M ss Jean and Miss Margaret Koontz, at 1318 Tbpeka avenue, and C. G. Forter. Eleventh and Harrison streets, were all bur glarized last night. Tbe thief who entered the J. R. Koontz home ransacked many of the rooms of the house, evidently after money. He J turned things upside down generally, but nothing has been missed. This occurred late last night. The party then is believed to have gone one door south and he did the same thing at tne nome or Mr. Koontz' s two sisters. A pocketbook containing 38 was taken from there. At another time during the evening a thief made an entrance at the home of C G. Forter through a window. A? pocketbook containing small change of an unknown amount was stolen. A valuable cameo was fortunately overlooked. Josiah Ross, chief of police, made an investigation ot the robberies with one or two of his officers. The police believe that all three of them were committed by the same party. Coincident with the three bur glaries last night, George M. McKen ney of Sedan, Chautauqua county, re ported to the police that he had been robbed of 340 on a street ear. Mc Kenney came to Topeka. on the 7:45 o'clock Santa Fe train and boarded a street car the. depot. He said he remembered being Jostled on the" car and when be reached Kansas avenue he discovered that some shrewd pick pocket had relieved him of a pocket book containing 4C. The police inveetiagied. GEONS COUuD FOR THE COAST London Concedes That Nothlxs Can Stop Onward March. British Naval Guns Alone CouM Drive Them Back. LILLE USD IS (XmE) They Seem Particularly Anx- ions to Reach Amiens. Armies Are Mixed Along Pral of 1C0 Miles. London. Oct. 14. Out of the mass of wholly irreconcilable assertions regard ing the war in Europe, emerges the seemingly t established fact that the Germans are attempting to renew the rapidly sweeping movement which took' them almost to the gates ot Paris. With the most of Belgium already oc cupied there is naught can stop the in vaders reaching the coast and remain- ing there at least temporarily unless the British naval guns are able to render tenure impossible.- The length of their stay at the popular seaside rasort should they seize Ostend, will of course, depend on the outcome of the great bat tle now understood to be opening near the frontiers separating the provinces of West Flanders arid Halnaut from the French department of the north. -Revofid An nnivinflnf rrvw tt fl.ht. ing in the direction of Zeebruage. a coast town 15 miles northeast ot Os tend, there is no further news of the German advance in this vicinity. Far ther south there is reason to believe the left wing of the allies has been strongly reinforced and confirmation of this Is' found in the statement in the latest re-' port from General Joffre, the French commander in chief, that the offensive against the Germans has been resumed, in that part of the line ot battle. Germans Occupy Lille. In order to strengthen his forces in this vicinity General Von Kluck has. thrown an entire army corps into Lille.

2 TOE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTCHAIi TODICDAY EVEITIIIQ, OCTOSSH li, ICtt. A WILD J1GIIT RIDE Billy Morgan's Premonition on a Kansas Train. Thought He Would Be Killed in a Wreck. i:iS WiFE 0:i STATE TICKET Elected by 100,000, Too, Mor gan Thought. But Train Wasn't Wrecked and Editor Is Safe. If premonitions always came true. "Billy" Morgan of Hutchinson, would have been killed In a wreck a few nights ago and his wife would have been elected lieutenant governor on the Republican ticket by 100,000 plurality. But the Hutchinson editor awoke the next morning to find that he was still a candidate on the state ticket. Morgan's premonition came a few nights ago when he was riding across Kansas on a train to .fill a speaking date. The Republican candidate had reached for his grip for his pajamas when an awful thought flashed through bis mind. It was a real premonition. "I felt that the train on which I was riding was going to be wrecked." said Morgan in Topeka today.- "Even the details of the accident were, as clear as day. I knew that I was to be killed. My impulse was to pull the bell cord end get oft at the next station. But the train kept racing over the rails and I s. t there in my berth with the cold sweat on my forehead, thinking over a thousand different things. "One of the first things I thought about was my business affairs. I de- cided they were in pretty fair shape. Then I thought about my insurance policies. They were paid up and I breathed a little easier. All the time I was waiting for the train to go in the ditch. "My candidacy was one or tne things that worried me. I wondered -whom the state committee would place on the ticket in my place. I decided they would probably name Mrs. Morgan. She was out over the etate making speeches for me and It seemed she would be the logical can didate. It all came to me in connec tion with the premonition concerning the wreck. I saw her name on the ticket and foresaw her election by 100,000. Some time while I was laying there thinking it over. I went to sleep. The next morning I was surprised to wake up and find that I was still alive and on the ticket. Next time I have a premonition I will discount It 90 per cent." Morgan, is spending the day in To peka. He will leave this afternoon for Abilene, where he will speak to night. "The Republican ticket will win in Kansas," said Morgan, "and the size of the majority depends only on the vote that goes to the polls. The Pro gressives are not organized effectively and their vote will be only the de termined expression of those who still dsttuna to. file a .further protest against the Chicago convention. Kansas wom en were not voting when the Chicago convention was held and they feel very little concern about the action of the convention." ELLSWORTH RAGES, Washer of Topeka 'Won Silver Medal In Motorcycle Event. Ellsworth, Kan., Oct. 14. At the big motorcycle races held here Monday, "Speck" Warner of this city won the Sold medal and first prize and broke both the state and world's record by making the mile in 1:08 2-5, the former record having been 1:06 3-5 on the same distance track. Washer, of Topeka. took second prize and won the silver medal, having secured one first and three seconds in the events. Jackson of Wichita, was third and won the bronze medal. Two new state records were made in addition to the above. The 6 mile event was made in 6 minutes and 44 seconds and the 2 mile In 2 minutes and 15 seconds. The 6-mile event for stock cars was made In minutes and 2 seconds. Paul Grill of Ellsworth won the ama teur championship. Twelve riders from all parts of the state partici pated and the crowd of spectators numbered about 1,000. The track was in fine condition owing to the re cent rains. One amateur rider, Ray Stewart of Lincoln, Kan., was run down by an automobile while on his way to the track and is in a critical condition at the hospital. The races were held under the auspices of the Central Xsnsas Motorcycle club. DEATH BY TROLLEY. Charley Hntton, Former Kansas, I Killed in Collision in Indiana.

RICH IN ALFALFA Production of State This Tear Valued at $28,000,000. Jewell, With 45,629 Acres, Leads Other Counties. The yearly production of alfalfa in Kansas is larger than that of any other state and this year's crop is val ued at more than S28.000.000, according to J. C. Mohler, secretary of the state board of agriculture. The alfalfa acre age in the state totals about 1,200,000 acres which averages 6.7 acres for every farm in the state and exceeds the acreage of Nebraska 22.8 per cent. Only three of the State's crops surpass the alfalfa output, wheat, corn and oats. The best quality of alfalfa in the country is grown in the state, says Mr. Mohler. and it has been potent in increasing the wealth of JC' '"J'ntch Is far apove ttJearerageof btn.-pjrcatess The aitaura acreage in an parrs or tne state is being enlarged annually.

Official War Bulletin. Paris, Oct. 14. The following offi cial announcement was given out in Paris this afternoon: In the Belgian field of operations there were some encounters during the night of October 12-13 and dur ing the day of the 13th in the region around Ghent. English and French troops have occupied Ypres. First On our left wing, as far as the Oise, the operations are develop ing normally. Second On the center previous reports of the progress of our armies in the region of Berry-Au-Bac have been confirmed. 'Third On our right wing there is nothing new. "While it is not our custom to re ply to the inaccuracies of the German press, it seems to us proper to de nounce the false news published in certain German newspapers concern ing the pretended destruction of two divisions of Franch cavalry. This in formation Is absolutely erroneous. The truth is that certain forces of French and German cavalry, with supports, have been engaged for sev eral days along the front at La Basse, Estaires and BailleuL The German cavalry succeeded in making a very slight advance between the Canal of La Basse and the Lys, but they were obliged to draw back in the territory north of Lyse. The losses sustained by the German cavalry are assuredly as perceptible as our own. One of the German divi sions suffered particularly because It was pursued during one entire day by our aviators, who did not cease to throw bombs down upon German troops. "Another ease is the -fact that the Germans announce they are undertak ing the investment of Verdun. In this instance also, to learn the truth, it is sufficient to refer to. the situation as set forth, on several different occa sions, in the French official communi cations. The Germans have not suc ceeded up to the present in hurling themselves against tne xoruxiea posi tion of Verdun. They have made two futile efforts to envelop at a certain distance the French forces which are operating around Verdun. One of these efforts was characterised by their at tempt to go through the Argonne for est between BinarvUle and Varennes. It will be recalled that this movement failed, with very Important losses. We did not even announce at the time thai two' German battalions had been an- I Zsmar tk nihllated in this' engagement. "The other enveloping movement by Geramns, undretaken in much greater numerical strength, was directed to ward crossing the Meuse in the region of St. Mihiel. If the Germans succeed ed In reaching- this river on front between Maixey and Chauvoncourt, all their efforts to advance farther result ed in failure. These German forces found themselves caught on the flank by detachments of our trdoops which advanced to the. north through the southern section of the heights of the Meuse and through the southern sec tion of the Wovre district."

Boston s victory over the Philadelphia Ath letics Tuesday cleared the field of op position and now football is king of all the sporting domain. All hail the pigskin king! Speaking of the foes of football, it is a noteworthy fact that an effort of considerable magnitude is being made to -bring forth a usurper under the guise of soccer. Columbia university authorities think it an ideal substi tute for the grand old game and soc cer teams are becoming more numer ous over the entire country; Undoubtedly, soccer is a good frame, just like tea is a good drink and walk ing a good exercise. But football as it is played In these United States is the most valuable athletic easiest in fne world. Above every other, form of port it is a producer of sound minds, strong bodies and clean souls and these are the things upon which American manhood is based. These are the things the Greeks most prized. "There is no substitute for them In the commissary of human attainments. Kansas university has the true foot ball spirit and it has a very wise doc tor in its faculty. A member of the K. U. faculty has suggested that all mollycoddles, sissy boys, mamma's darlings and other frau-like youths ought to play football and try to cul tivate a little American manhood. Schools and colleges would make no mistake if they put football on the required curriculum for such students. The first such team that K. U. puts out should be given skirt uniforms and made to play their annual game against the Kansas girls' team, the latest football recruits. A "get-together" meeting for the Washburn football eleven and the To peka fans was held Tuesday night in the Commercial club rooms and was greatly enjoyed by all present. Ed TirriU acted as chairman of the meet ing and talks were made by Coach Gray, Captain Trobert, Dr. F. J. Ernest, Drs. Jim and Bob Stewart, L, M. Jones and others.. The object of the meeting was to bring the players and fans into closer touch and to show the Ichabods that Topeka appreciates the work they are doing. J. Will KeUey, secretary of the Commercial club said that he consid ered the team Washburn has this year and has been putting out for the past several years a strong advertis ing medium for Topeka. Coach Ben eka of the high school also made a brief talk to fans and players. A news dispatch from Warrensburg states that the Warrensburg Normals have lost a great deal of their "pep" since Missouri Wesleyan gave them Buch a trouncing last week. The dis patch which says that the team is bruised and battered and despondent id as follows: "Bruised and despondent over the upset at Cameron, Mo., the Warrens burg normal football squad went through hard but disappointing scrim mage here Monday and Tuesday after noons. The men seem to have lost a lot of the "pep" characterising their play, and with the hard pummeling they received at the hands of Pixlee's men, they have slowed up a lot. Al though not out of the running for the state title, the teachers were counting on an easy victory, which would have Dry Cleaned and Pressed Bulta.. ..TRo Overcoats. 75c' pnt- 40o Skirts. i 40c .Suits steamed and. pressed. .SSo Comparatively lew prices on dry cleaning of every deacrip- tlon.

To the contrary they hit what Coach Allen considers the hard est nut .to crack in the circuit. ."The normals are not putting forth any alibis, simply acknowledging de feat at the hands of a better team, it is the prediction of Dr. Allen that Wesleyan will be the 1914 champions. The championships have been won in the Misouri conference by the follow ing teams since 1910: Central college. Westminster, Warrensburg normal and William Jewell." The loss of Captain Charles E. Brickley is a heavy blow to the Har vard eleven this season. Brickley was operated on for appendicitles at Bos ton last Saturday and his physician has stated there is just a bare pos sibility that he will be able to play in the Tale-Harvard game on November 21. It is certain that he will not be able to play in. any of the intervening games, and It is just as certain that Harvard will be greatly handicapped without him. I j; The revision in the football rules this year provides that a forward pass that goes out of bounds either on a fly direct, or after having been touched by an eligible player of eith er side, goes to the opponents. This happened in last Saturday's Wash burn-Baker game and a number or spectators who were not acquainted with the new rule could hot under stand why the ball went over to the other side. Another important change in the rules this year is the cutting out of the kick -back. After a touchback or safety, the ball is no longer kicked out, but is put in scrimmage on the 20 yard line. Two mid-week games are scheduled for this afternoon. One is between Groton school and Middlesex at Con cord and the other between North Carolina Aggies and Virginia Poly technic institute. Friday William Jewell meets Central at Liberty and Southwestern university plays Austin at Georgetown. Twelve games are boked for Friday throughout the country. Salina, Kan., Oct. .14. Kansas Wes leyan defeated Cooper college here Tuesday, 14 to 13. It was a triumph of straight football and effective use of the forward pass over trick plays and open formation. Cooper played better than the Wesleyans during the first two quarters, but the Methodists came back strong in the latter part of the game. Only one penalty was inflicted and Wesleyan received it for holding.' Both teams fumbled con siderably. Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 14. There will be no scouting of other valley teams by the Jayhawkers this year. Coach Jack Wheaton does not believe in scouting and has put the ban "on it absolutely. Heretofore, the Kansas coaches have kept three or four men busy watching the other teams play and in this way had a close line on every formation used by their oppon ents. After a scout's report the Jay hawkers spent days In perfecting a de fense for the favorite plays of Ne braska, Washburn and Missouri. This year it will be different, Wheaton expects to give his men such detailed instruction that they will be able to stop any kind of attack and thus it will not be necessary to scout. The Jayhawker coach believes 'In playing the game on its merits and believes that the better team should win without any unfair advantages. There is a Missouri Valley ruling against scouting but it has never been recognised by the various teams. With the Washburn and K. J3. teams playing away from home next Saturday, Topeka football fans 'will journey to Manhattan where the best game in the Missouri valley this week will be played between the Aggies and Nebraska. This is the first trip -the Cornhuskers have ever made to Manhattan. The game will- also- give a line on Washburn and the Aggies as Washburn held the Nebraska team to a 14 to 7 score in the first game of ine season.' WITH THE BOXERS.

Lincoln Western League Owner In Hole Like AD the Rest. Hugh Jones, owner of the Lincodn, Nebraska, baseball club, announced recently that since taking over the control of the club in June, 1912, he has gone $18,000 in the hole trying to give Lincodn a decent baseball club. Seven other clubs on the Western circuit are keeping Mr. Jones com pany by riding in the same boat, and there is no doubt but that the time is fast approaching when "something will have to be did.'" Baseball sports are about the gamest sports In the world, but their bank rolls are just like those of other folks after they have disappeared. The Topeka club owners are also in the losing class like all the rest and the outlook is not bright enough to warrant Hettie Green trying to get a corner on the clubs as a business proposition that looks good. Mr. Jones says that his financial failures are not due to the Federal league and the only excuse he offers is that Lincoln will not support base ball in a way to Justify the salaries paid in the Western league. And Lincoln's trouble in .this respect is a chronic one throughout the league. The solution of the problem that has been proposed and that most baseball authorities seem to think Is the only one is to reduce the maxi mum club salary payrolls and shorten the schedule from 168 to 145 games. From the size of the crowds at the last games in Topeka there Is no doubt but that a curtailment of the tail-end of the season would prove of little inconvenience to the majority of the fans.

The Demo crats and their war tax bill came in for vigorous denunication In the sen ate from Senators Borah and Smoot. "The war has nothing to do with this bill except to christen it," said Senator Borah; "Democratic extrava gance has been so great that this ex traordinary tax would he necessary if Europe were as peaceful as the Dis trict of Columbia." Senator Borah read from a speech of Secretary Bryan and from the Dem ocratic platform on the. subject of economy. "Instead of a return to the simpli city of economy the Democrats have added a great number of salaries. They have taken a long step forward in the direction of oublic extravagance and while we are not on the verge of a French revolution we have reached the point described by the historian of that period where the man who can discover a new subject for taxation is recognized as a genius." Senator Borah said the Democratic expenditures were 33.000,000 a month more than in the last year of the Re publican administration and Senator Weeks added that they were 34,000, 000 a month more than last year. Senator Burton classified the bill as "the maximum of annoyance and the minimum of revenue." Senator Smoot said that the Europ ean war "is the shameful pretext of the Democrats for demanding this legislation. The war is to be the ex cuse for every. Democratic blunder that has been made. It is to be the Democratic Mother Hubbard to cover all the mistakes of the party."

The State Jouraal Is a member of the Associated Press and rHve. the full daT elearae report of that great news or eKuon for the exclusive afternoon pnbllcatlon In Topeka.

Those Italian scientists certainly are clever. One of them recently discov ered the potato to lie a wireless plant. A party of Gypsies In New England Is reported to be traveling In two big limousines. Thus the romance oores put of modern times. The big fighting seems to bear out the Malthuslan theory that over-population always precedes some decimat ing: war or pestilence. Caruso reached America disguised as a woman. Now Jack Johnson may Hp through the lines disguised as a bottle of stove polish. The buy-an-overcoat movement Is receiving more uniform support In Kansas Just now than is the ouya-bale-of-cotton campaign. Headline states: 'Mexican Capital Knows No Law." Uncle Sam will have to be aending some more of his ea-lawyers from the navy to admin ister instruction if that proves correct. Kansas wheat farmers should nego tiate with Russia for the use of those prisoners of war she now employs on public road work. They would come handy here next harvest time. Consolatory thought for Kansas: Those German guns can't shoot across the Atlantic and, even if they should bring them to the Atlantic coast, they till couldn't hit Kansas. So, why worry? Will not W. T. Morgan," that Marco Polo of Kansas Journalists, inform his brothers who yet hope to travel in foreign lands, what is, the correct form of address on being presented to the Mpret of Albania or the Gaekwahr of Baroda? We get used to anything that is re peated persistently. What a fit the United States would have had a cou ple of years ago over the Mexican bul lets that have been whistling across to our side of the boundary at Naco in the past few days!" Under a continuation of the policy of watchful waiting for Mexico to be have, life Insurance companies might well establish a higher premium rate for folks residing along the interna tional boundary. Those Mexican bul lets make an unfair risk. Dr. Simon Flexner having run the jgerm of infantile paralysis to Its hid ing place, should confer another blessing on humanity by finding the germ of militarism and stepping on Its neck. In other words, he should take the germ out of Germany. Let Topeka people follow with im partial but attentive Interest the ex periment being made by the board of education with the cafeteria at the High School, bearing in mind that it Is costing the price of several addi tional teachers whose services are ad mitted to be much needed. The thrill of enthusiasm over the appearance of the first spring rarden ass; the artificial elation forced for the reception of the elephantine Au gust watermelon; the mingled emo tions evoked by the discovery of the first ripe paw-paw, all are forgotten In the rapturous knowledge that now the wlnesap will begin to yield Its au tumnal flow of sparkling cider to comfort the dreary days while Boreas has us in its clasp.

War has delayed shlnment but it may arrive before spring. This la the first effort to standardize kaf flr seed which experts say is now on a deplorably low basis, nearly all va rieties of the .sorghums down to broom corn being mixed with the seed now commercially offered. Kanaana do well to encourage such movements. A Topeka policeman is In the hos pital with a serious injury sustained in pursuit of nia duty. His skimpy salary will go on as usual, of course, but the accident is going to cost him. all he ha, and more If he has to pay the bills for medical atten tion himself. The city can afford to demonstrate its Interest in this public servant by assuming those bills, to the last cent. "Motorcop" C. B. Arthur will inevitably be the loser because he has to bear the present pain and may have to carry a permanent injury. AMERICAN COMMERCE. No aubject for commercial and legislative consideration commends it self more earnestly to the American people at this time than does the problem of cultivating foreign trade. This statement is Intended for Kansas readers and Is directed at them. Kan sas is prone to lose Interest and re turn to its own muttons when mat ters of foreign relations of a business character are Introduced, but that is not the proper spirit. Not that Kan sas has not sent a generous sum of good money after other moneys pre viously wasted on hair-brained enter prises in foreign lands; for she has been a fruitful field for exploitation by artists who paint roseate prospects framed with gilded stock certificates of mining or banana-plantation com panies. The other day Chicago manufac turers and Jobbers proposed a com pany capitalized at two and a half millions to study and develop foreign trade relations. New Orleans, hear ing the report, sent a committee of its Commercial club to Chicago to in vestigate and report upon the desir ability of co-cperation. That Chicago enterprise may fail, although the probability -seems un likely if true Chicago wit and busi ness sense govern its operations. If it succeeds, the opportunities for American made and grown products in foreign lands will become wider, increasing for Kansas the opportun ity to invest its surplus in rational business enterprise while it sells its own productions not only 'to an In creasing population of Industrial workers at home but in foreign mar kets. In the United States, many such movements are stirring. The most intelligent and best financed among them will get results. It is quite likely that the exploi tation of this new field of finance may develop a school of fakes who will offer stocks or no value with such In genuity that Kansas Investors may be persuaded to waste money on them. The surest safeguard against this can be raised by the bankers and larger business men of the state if they will take the lead in reporting upon the progress of such new commerc:l movements. The broadening influ ence of familiarity with the affairs of the rest of the world will benefit Kan Hans even though they have little com mercially at stake. But Kansas is rapidly becoming' one of the investing sections of the country. Her wealth Is pouring in faster than ever before, while her familiarity with the invest ing opportunities in commercial fields is yet negligible. It throws a burden of responsibility on Kansas bankers and financiers demanding their best and most conscientious thought. America has always trailed behind the European nations in serving for eign trade. If Kansas is to share in a new activity abroad, Kansas ought to contribute Intelligence toward making that development in the most rational ways. SINGLE TAX IN EDMONTON. Several years ago, writes Samuel C. Reat, United States consul at Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in a recent consular report, the municipality of Edmonton adopted the single tax, or, as it is called in the United States, the Henry George system of taxation. The theory of this system is that taxes for all pur poses should be levied on land alone and no revenue should be derived from taxation of personal property or even from a poll tax. The alleged benefit of such a system is in preventing speculation in real estate. The taxes on a vacant lot are the same as on an adjoining lot on which there is a building. This, in theory, would compel owners of vacant property to erect revenue paying buildings. Further, the theory is that business men and manufacturers would.. be benefited by an exemption from .taxes on their stocks of goods and their plants, thus' encouraging business and manufacturing. Edmonton has ust passed through a most active rise in real estate; values have multiplied rapidly; money has been easily obtained; millions have been spent by the railway companies. the government, and the municipality; the population has Increased from 7.000 to 60,000 in ten years. During the prosperous period taxes have been paid promptly, for the reason that city property was salable and It was profit' able to erect buildings. All taxes be ing levied on real estate, the assessed value must necessarily be higher than if levied on other property as welL But when city real estate depreciated greatly in value, taxes began to be come delinquent, and in order to make up for the loss, the assessment and rate were both raised. The amount of taxes levied in 1913 was about $3,00,000, of which about $1,000,000 is delinquent at this time. With thfs amount in arrears and with a penalty added, the city Is forced to increase the rate of taxation or assess- ment, or both. The assessed value of ,1.. line real estate in Edmonton for the ........hi '-ill t... according tne' citv about 17 mills, at the least. The amount to be raised is about $3, 350,000, which, added to the $1,000,000 delinquent from 1913, will make a large sum to be collected in 1914. The crucial test of this system will be the next or following year. The opponents of the single tax sys tem assert that its operation has not prevented speculation, in land;' that it has not kept rents low; that it is' one of the principal causes of the high rents which at present prevail in that city; that It has not made living I cheaper for the poor man and for the small business man. But the pre-, dominating nr.ir.Inr. th. people of Edmonton la that the single tax sustem will eventually be vindi cated.

Roslna looked: around doubtfully, scrutinizing the houses along the street. "White, with a buckeye tree to the left of the front porch," Aunt Ina had said. The one before her answered the de scription. Bob Nevis, with his feet comfortably elevated on the porch rail, sat reading the morning paper. Noticing a lady turn in at the gate he sprang up and stood waiting. "I've brought the tatting for Mrs. Mendelheim," Roslna began diffidently. "Will you please give it to her, and tell her that Aunt Ina, I mean Miss Ridge way, is sick today and won't be able to help with the fancy-work booth. She's very sorry and hopes Mrs. Men delheim will be able to manage without her." She held out a small paper par cel which the young man accepted with thanks. "Thank you very much for your trou ble. Good morning!" Rosina said as she turned to go. And then the young man found his tongue. "I'm sorry about your aunt- I hope she'll be better very soon," so licitously. "That's very kind. It is not serious and I'm sure she'll be all right tomor- i row." Another "Gooa-morning; ana an was gone. Bob stood looking after her. "Hm!

"Mondelheim's house Is the mate of this one on Sputta Poplar street, same number, too. Tour fair friend made a mistake of eight blocks. This is North Poplar."; Bob considered the matter. He didn't relish a walk of eight blocks alone when he had an interesting book and good cigars. No use wast ing the precious moments of his va cation hunting up. Kritzenbaums or Schweiderbergs or Minterheimers or whoever in the world It was who would have to look after the fancy work booth, now that Aunt Ina was sick. Aunt Ina's niece was a differ ent matter. So he called Sammy Croop, next door, and gave him a nickel and the bundle of tatting, telling him where to go. Sammy Croop stuffed the small bundle into his pocket and started on his way. At the corner of Crissmore street he met Jimmy and David Har BY ROBERT AND THE GOBLINS. Robert had a very bad habit of saying "Oh, I don't want to!" every time he was asked to do anything. "If you are not careful," said his mother one day. "you' will get so you cannot say anything but 'I don't want to,' and be gorry." Robert, however, did not pay attention to what his mother said. And when she said he must help? her with "some work to be done in the.attic,, ne saia yja, x don't want to!"' But Robert had to help, and he went to the attic to bring down some trash when h aaw an M hnnk of fairy StOrieS. BO he sat down to read, and the first thing he knew he saw a funny little man beside him dressed in a green coat and a red cap. He was making a funny face, laughing at Robert, and Robert asked him what he was laughing at. "1 am laughing at you." replied the little man. "It is so- funny to know what I do about you." "What do you know?" asked Robert. "You will soon find out." replied the" little man. He gave a long, low whistle and Robert saw from all directions little men like the one beside him running inwarri him "What are you coins; to dot" The Evening Story i i rx XV' x lii It- rowdale on their Way to the., swim ming hole.

While his out fit of one Indian suit, much soiled and crumpled. lay on a rock beside the distant stream. All day. Mrs. Aaron Mendelheim worked at the church. She draped yards of bunting over tbe fancy work booth, wondering why Miss Ridgeway did not come to help. The church had no telephone, and at noon she had no time to go home, but. lunched on a box of ham sandwiches she had brought along. The Annual Bazaar of the Ladles Light Bearer society must be a success! "If she can't come she mlgbt have sent word,", she 'soliloquized indig nantly. "I could have gotten some one to help. And how about that tatting she has been working on for months? She says there's twenty dol lars worth. And now where is she? Does anybody know anything about Miss Ridgeway?" But nobody did. At 6 o'clock Mrs. Mendelheim left the completed yellow and lavender booth and dragged her weary way home ward. Her cup of tea failed to re vive her and she went to bed with a splitting headache. Bob Nevis' troubles were beginning. One of the Mendelheims telephoned to the Ridgeways and the result was that Rosina went to take charge of the proprietories booth, puzzled about the mlscarraige of her message. Mrs. Nevis, leaving the house that night, asked Bob to go along, and he found himself with his mother at the Methodist church bazaar. His heart leapt. There was a faint chance of seeing- his fair visitor of the morning;. Mrs. Nevis wanted some aprons, so in a minute Bob found himself facing Rosina! But Rosina's eyes had never a glance for him. He might have been so much thin air. She had a discon certing way of looking directly through him that made him feel decidedly in significant. "I hear that I can get some of Miss Ridgeway's beautiful tatting," said his mother. "I'm sorry, but we have none. It was sent, but through some error has not reached the church." "That is too bad!" returned Mrs. Nevis, moving away. "Come, Robert." Robert discovered the Indian suit and the tatting next morning, both drenched with rain. He took the tatting home to his mother and started out to hunt the Ridgeways to turn in twenty dollars to Miss Ina. Rosina. came to the door. "I've come to confess!" began Bob, humbly. "Yes?" "I'm a liar and a thief!" In spite of herself Rosina laughed. "How dreadful! You look contrite enough to be a murderer also. We may as well be comfortable while hav ing this awful confession! Won't you sit down? Now tell me why you let me talk to you yesterday when you knew I was at the wrong house? "Because because, you were so lovely and I was afraid you d go. I wanted to have you stany and and say, I'm a Stupid donkey, and here's the money for the whatever you call that stuff. The little boy I sent with it went swimming instead.' You must think me a muddle-head!" Rosina laughed again. "Oh, don't go! Here you have a chance to talk to me and now you are running away." Bob needed no second invitation.

"We are the goblins," said one, "and we are going to take you to I-Don't-Want-to-Land." Robert felt himself being carried along a road through the woods, and pretty soon they came to a house, and he was put in and the door shut, and he was alone. He walked around the room, look ing for a place to sit down, when sud denly a goblin tumbled down the chimney with a chair. It was very small at first, but as Robert looked at it it grew large enough for him to sit on. "Won't you sit down?" asked the gob lin, pushing the chair toward Robert. Robert was tired and he reached for the chair, when to his surprise he said: "Oh, I don't want to!" And the goblin took away the chair and disappeared. Then a table appeared, it seemed to come right up from the floor. It was filled with all kinds of good things to eat all the cakes and puddings Robert liked best. A goblin appeared beside it and asked Robert If he would not like to eat his supper. Robert was very hungry, and hastened to reply that he would, when, to his sur prise, he said instead. "Oh. I don't want to!" "Very well, if you do not want your supper, I will take it away,' said the goblin; and it disappeared as quickly as it came. By and by, a goblin came in from an other room. "Do you want to go to bed?" asked the goblin. "Oh. I don't want to!" replied Robert. "Very well, sit up all night!" said the goblin. At last he thought he would look out tne winaow, ana to ms surprise he-found he was on top of a mountain. He ODened the window and looked out. and an over the mountain were signboards which read, "Oh, I don't want to." Robert thought he should go mad tf be had to see it as well as hear it. and he stood up in the window and jumped; he felt himself falling down and he awoke. He had been reading of the goblins who took away a boy who found fault with everything, when he fell asleep. Robert got up and finished his work, and when his mother asked him to go to the store, a little later, she was surprised to have him reply, "Yes, mother, I will go at once."

GIM u, i -i 1 j' V aehlne Taken From George Holmes Is In Kansas City. Three Ken Arrested Accused of Motor Car Theft. The Ford touring car stolen from the Santa Fe railway offices Wednes-! day afternoon of last week, has been found in Kansas City-and three men were arrested in connection with the theft. The daylight robbery of the machine, owned by George Holmes, of the Santa Fe law denartment. ore- ceded by the desertion of a stolen Kansas City machine in front of tne offices and followed by the theft of a car from H. S. Morgan, put Topeka in the limelight of auto mysteries. The Holmes car was' standing on West Ninth street in front of the rail road offices a week ago. In the mid dle of the afternoon It disappeared. Sheriff Kiene sent word to all of the surrounding cities and it was mainly through his effort that the Kansas City police located the machine early this afternoon. It is not known what the names of the three men are, but they will be held- in Kansas City until Shawnee county authorities go after them. Mr. Kiene remarked after the finding of the Morgan machine that there never was a successful auto thief In the history of Topeka. At that time the Holmes ma chine was still missing, but he pro phesied that it would be returned In a few days.- DAVSOll TO CAPITAL Attorney General Leaves to Care for Court and Conclave. John S. Dawson, attorney general, left this afternoon for Washington, where he will represent the state in the Coppage, Kirmeyer-Robinowitz and the picture film censorship case. While in Washington, Dawson will also attend the meeting of National Association of Attorneys General of the United States. The Kansas at torney general is president of the Na tional association. Several important Kansas cases are now pending in the supreme court of the United States and General Daw son will appear for the state in at least three of these cases while on his eastern trip. Dawson will return to Kansas about October 25. The Coppage coercion case, ap pealed from Bourbon county and af firmed by the state supreme court, is now pending in the high tribunal. Dawson will probably submit this case while- in Washington and will also afgue the picture film censorship case. The film censorship act was passed by the 1913 legislature, but its constitutionality is now at issue. Judge John C. Pollock, judge of the United States court for the district of Kan sas, decided for the state when the case1 was presented to him -several months ago, but his decision was based largely on an understanding that the case was to be appealed to the United States supreme court for a decision on the constitutiotiaL, issue Leavenworth county's Kiraje'yer-Be--inowits liquor case is now up to. the United States supreme court and will probably be argued this month on behalf of the state. The two men were arrested for alleged violations of the' state pro hibitory liquor law when they brought liquor into Leaververth from Missouri and delivered it te individual custdmera. It was claimed by the state that the men had no legal right to drive across the river with their liquors and use the streets of Leavenworth to deliver their wares. The case was twice decided for the defendants by the Leavenworth coun ty court and each time the state went to the supreme court and secured a re versal of the lower court's decision. Now the question of use of public highways for delivery of liquor is up to the court of last resort. 12,000,000 RABBITS A TEAR. Growth of a Pest In Tasmania Has Created a Serious Problem. As IA other states in Australia, the problem of dealing with the rabbit peat has been 1 given considerable attention by farmers and pastoralists in Tas mania for some time. The matter was taken, up by the Farmers and Stockowners' association at a recent meeting of the council Of that body. Among other things, it was stated that information had been col lected bearing upon the trade in rab bit skin in this state. The figures In dicated that not less than 6,000,000 skins were exported from Tasmania each year, the value of which was. un der $250,000. As poison was also generally used for destroying the nest, it was miito. safe to assume that as many more were Kiiiea, maamg tne aeatn roll equal to 10,000,000. Adding to that at iMrt -9. aaa Ann iAe a- i each winter to breed again, the' con clusion .was arrived at that the lands of the state. were 'growing every year 12,000,000 rabbits. 1 Taking- these figures as a basis and allowing fifteen rabbits to consume as much grass a one sheep, it. was com puted that tha. rabbit was .occupying the place, of 800.000 sheep, or, in other words, taking- Xip-about one-third of the lands; for which the state received under $250,000, as against the -value of 800,000 sheep, which would be not less than $1,500,000 at a low estimate.

"How do you spell friend?" some one asked me the other day. I supplied the information- with some surprise; my Interrogator was a good speller. I could not forbear asking "Didn't you know?" "Oh yes." he said. "I knew but It went from, me." Aren't these little quirks in the brain that make us Incapable of remember ing simple familiar facts, queer things? I have a friend of old standing to whom I have written many letters and who has written me aa many more. One day I was called upon to write her name on a legal document and suddenly I found myself unable to de cide if there were one "t" or two lit her last name. I wrote It both ways to see which "looked right." And each time, the last way seemed the right one. The way in which I event ually put it on the document was wrong. Yet I must have written that name at least a hundred times before without hesitating as to the spelling-. In an office in which I once worked a stenographer one day brought in a batch of typing. "I've been going over this correcting It," she said, ""and I find I've left the apostrophes out of 'hers' every time. But I've fixed them now," she concluded. When' she had gone out, her em ployer Jpojced .lankly at me. "I sup pose there must be ah apostrophe in hera, he said, "but 1 certainly didn't know it." I admitted to the same state of mind and it took a consulta tion with the grammar to reassure us, for the stenographer Was a first class worker and not given to mistakes. A sudden demand for any bit of In formation sometimes seems to para lyze the ability of summoning it. The game of "fish, bird or beast" is an ex cellent example of this, or the bro midic response, "If you hadn't asked me I could have told you." Besides these temporary brain quirks, there are some that persist for years or even for a lifetime. For instance. I have a friend who, after having played cards for years, still has difficulty every now and then In re membering which ef th suits is clubs and which is spades. Not so very long ago she played a hand straight through with the wrong trump In mind. i Myself, I have a strange Incapabil ity of remembering whether to pro nounce "g" hard or soft in certain words.. By dint of reminding myself that people will Jeer, at you if you say "head Jear" I have fixed that in my mind, but I am still In doubt about -"clergyman," and have several times been obliged to hastily change over to "minister," when almost upon the word. As a dear old friend of mine often says in apology for similar lapses, "I know It is one and 'not the other, but I can't remember which." Do you have quirks of one sort or another, reader trend? I hope you do, because if you don't you will think j a11 his very ridiculous, but If you eVo you'll understand. MRS. DRURY GETTER. Widow of Former Topekan Recover tag From Typhoid Attack.

If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted author ity who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kid neys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, diz ziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the chan nels often get sore and irritated, oblig ing you to seek relief two or three times during the night.

0 RUSSIANS ARE: OUTGENERALED German Campaign In Poland Conducted With SUIL Czar's Officers Completely De celved by the Kaiser's. R"IES OF 63EIT STRENGTH Land Across the Polish Fron tier Without Molestation. Muscovite Optimism Has Led to Serious Consequences. IBy J. W.-T. Mason. New York. Oct. 14. The German cam paign in Poland which is now beginning to develop its offensive strength has been conducted in its early stages with great skill. It now seems evident that the advance on Warsaw was skilfully masked by the recent operations 100 to 150 miles further north in the Nsimen river district. The Russians, apparent ly, mistook the German advance toward the Nelmen as the enemy's main ob jective. Even the ability of the second and third class Russian fortresses in North ern Poland to withstand German at tacks while the powerful French and Belgian fortifications were falling, did not open the eyes of the Russian gen eral staff. The fact is now seen to be that the successful resistance of these Polish forts was due to the meager German forces sent against them. While the Russians were hurrying overwhelm ing armies across the Neimen and were triumphantly forcing the Germans to retire toward East Prussia, the real German offensive was developing against Warsaw. The Germans appear to have succeed ed in landing armies of great strength without molestation across the frontier from the Vistula, on which river the en trenched camp of Warsaw is located. What part of the attention of the Rus sian general staff was not centered on the successful Nlemen operations, was occupied with the advance through Ga licia. Berlin Entrance Postponed. The Russians were moving forward in the north and south with extreme optimism, as their official reports showed; they were to be in Berlin by Christmas; the Germans from East Prussia and the Austrians in Galicia were unable to stand against them. Then suddenly between the victorious northern and southern Russian arm ies, the German general staff launch ed its counter-offensive and the Rus sians have now realized the danger' Into which their optimism has led them. They have had to withdraw their advance forces marching on Cracow and the other operations in East Prussia that became of minor importance. A new battle front, run ning south from the Warsaw district, is being forced upon them, presum ably of Germany's own choosing.

This Slav vice of the Russo-Japanese war, apparent ly, has not been cast out, SURVEY OF THE SOIL Pamphlet of Interest to Shawnee Fanners Is Oat. A soil survey of Shawnee county made by the Kansas State Agricultural college in co-operation with the United States department of agriculture has been published and there are a limited number of reports and maps of the county now ready for distribution among the farmers of the county and other interested parties. These reports will be sent free upon request to the director of the Kansas experiment station, Manhattan, Kan. The map shows where every quarter section of land in the county lies and the soil types it contains. The reports mention the kinds of crops now generally grown on each kind of soil, point out the needs of each type, both as regards fertility and methods of handling, and suggest the crops that are most likely to suc ceed on the different soil types. In fact the report will be found interest ing and full of information of a prac tical and helpful character to all farm ers operating in Shawnee county. It is doubtful if the Kansas State Agricultural college has ever engaged in a project more fundamental to the development of a permanent agricul ture in Kansas or that will result In more immediate and lasting benefit to the farmers than .a complete and detailed soil survey. Not only is the soil survey of direct value to the man on the farm, but it is valuable to the farmer .in .another way, in that It furnishes reliable and fundamental information for agricultural college men and agricultural writers who are called upon to advise with farmers as to the best methods of operating their soils. It Is to be regretted that through lack of appropriations the soil sur vey work was not continued during the past two years, except In two counties where the United States de partment of agriculture maintained small parties during the summers of 1913 and 1914. Unless state aid can be obtained through the coming leg islature, however, it 'will not be pos sible to continue the work even In a small way, as government operations in this state will be withdrawn and carried to other states unless aug mented with state appropriations. CIIRISTADEL IS HERE. Miss Pankburst lands at New York Unannounced. New York. Oct 14. Christabel Pankhurst, militant suffragette leader of England, came unannounced to New York today aboard the Red Star steamer Finland. Miss Pankhurst made the voyage under the. name of Elizabeth McDonald and did not an nounce her identity until the Finland was within sight of shore. "I did not come to America to ad vocate militant methods," were almost her first words, as she stepped down ine gang plank into the midst- of a dozen reporters. "Militant methods are not needed in America. The men of the United States are more liberal than the men of England. This is demonstrated by the fact that a num-. ber of your states have already grant ed woman suffrage. "In England our cause has given way to the cause of war and we wo men of England are all loyal to our flag. The women's fight for votes in England has been laid aside tempor arily. "1 believe' however, that England would have been better equipped for war if her women had been given the vote. It had been generally expected for years that the war would come. The women, who are the greatest suf ferers, should have had a voice in the preparations to meet it." Miss Pankhurst said she expected to remain in the United States for a few months. She was especially desirous of visiting the far west and would make a trip to the Pacific coast if possible. Any how she said, she ex pected to go t'o Chicago and to Baaian. While in New York, she will be the guest of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, the suffrage leader. MORE BRYAN PLANS. Special Train Columbus to Fort Scott for Parsons Talk.

When the Boston Braves won the championship of the baseball world, it was like watching an old. old. play, with fa miliarity precluding the possibility of surprise, and with' no prospect of va riety save in the manner in which the actors handled their respective roles. The result always seemed a fore gone conclusion. The score of S to 1 would Indicate a close game but it did not seem close. It did not feel close. It was as if every act but led up to a well remembered climax and when that climax finally came, the thrills therein were only perfunctory. The plot seemed too old. The mad, demonstration of the Boston baseball fanatics about the bench of the triumphant Braves at the finish; the parade of the Royal Rooters with the band shrilling "Tes sie" and "Sweet Adeline;" the cheers and the speeches and all the rest of the moll and turmoil, and finally the silent, somber file of the defeated Philadelphia Athletics picking their way through the crush, somehow seemed anticipated; they somehow seemed but carefully rehearsed scenes in an ancient show. Geatest Baseball Feat. It was rather a curious culimination of the greatest feat in the history of baseball. The Boston Braves have won the championship in four straight games. No other club has done that since the world's series was inaugur ated between rival National and Ameri can leagues. Once the Tigers of Detroit failed to win a game from, the Chicago Cubs, but one game was tied and the. series -had to go to five games. As the Athletics' batting end of the ninth came on, the former world's champions could be seen slipping on their blue mackinaws and gathering up their gloves and other paraphernalia on the bench. Then the most of them stood up in an expectant line, watch ing Eddie Collins at bat. They were ready for a hasty departure from the field. Their attitude told plainly that they had quit. In the old days of triumph they used to march up to the plate- in a line, swinging their bats menacingly, whether the club was in front or be hind. Connie Mack. A sombre figure in ministerial black remained seated on the bench. The ignominy of the worst defeat ever ad ministered to a championship club sat heavily upon the shoulders of Connie Mack, but he did not quit, He was the last to leave the bench and as he stalked across the field in (he wake of his beaten flock he still had a dry lit tle smile left for expressions of sym pathy. When Evers tossed out Baker on an easy roller for the second out in the final inning, the exuberance of the Braves manifested itself. Charley Schmidt playfully threw the bail at Moran out in right field and Moran let the ball go through him to the farthest corner of his district. In stantly, a dozen fans, hanging poised for the dash to the exits, leaped out on the field and fell on the ball In a scrambling heap. A policeman rushed up and joined the struggle and the Braves laughed loudly when the officer finally rescued the ball and returned it to Moran. The Athletics loked on dumbly. They had little interest In horse-play. They reminded one of a heavy loser in a poker game, with all the winners ready to quit and no chance for the losers to get even. "Lank Hank" Gowdy, hitting hero of the series, came in with his cap off and he was belabored about the head with newspapers in the hands of fans hanging over the railing of the grand stand back of the home team bench until he was glad to hide. George Stal llngs disappeared early and hurried to his hotel to avoid a demonstration. It has been said that the swarthy chief of the Braves is planning a small dem onstration of his own. It has been said that he has vowed if he won this series he-would hunt up Ban Johnson, president of the American league, in the most, public place and tell him a few things that have been resting heavy upon the Stalllngs memory for some years.- -It-Is a matter dating back to Stalllngs' days as manager of the Detroit Tigers and his enmity toward the fat president of the American league has never cooled dui in mis hour of triumph it Is doubtless true that sober second thought will deter Stalllngs from carrying out his plan. The Athletics played Tuesday after noon Just as they played throughout the series with the exception of Mon day. They had little spirit. They have acted all along as If they were carrying the championship in a gallon bucket and were afraid of spilling it. Only on one or two occasions did they display the fighting heart expected of champions. On the other hand the Braves were even cockier and more confident and more Impertinent Tuesday than they had been at any time before, rae iuck that has clunr to them throughout the championship struggle was also with tnem. Base Dan win oe telling tnrougn the years to come that this is the luck iest club m the history of the game, even granting them the highest pos sible credit for ability. Nothing goes wrong for the Braves but then nothing ever goes wrong for the winner in baseball and the Stalllngs youngsters must today be given full credit for what they are the gam est crowd In baseball. It was Johny Evers who broke up the game on the Athletics in the fifth Inning Tuesday and there was even then more or less of what baseball people call luck, although to the av erage observer it seemed more an other manifestation of the 'spirit of the Braves, especially the spirit of the captain of the Braves who was game enough to come .right back after it seemed certain he bad lost the game and help In the final victory. Maran vtUe, now pronounced- the greatest short fielder the game has ever known, was an easy Infield out at the opening of the Braves' end of the fifth. Deal was also quickly retired. but then Dick Rudolph, who is an un usually good bitter-far pitcher, sin- gled to center, ftp to that time Bob S hawkey, one of Mack's young right banders, had been pitching along very steadily but Herb Moran followed Rudolph with a hit that went for two .bases. Rube Oldring made a flying lunge at Moran'a blow and Rudolph raced around to third as the big outfielder missed his leap. Shawkey pitched with great care to Evers and finally had the count 3 balls and 2 strikes on the lantern Jawed captain of the Braves. Then Johnny smacked a single across second and Rudolph and Moran tallied with one more run than was necessary to win the game. A moment later Shawkey made a quick throw to Mclnnia and caught Evers flat-footed off first for the third out". To win a championship of the world with two down and the count 3 and z on a batting rally is regarded as luck In the game of baseball. The fact that the series went only four games is a terrific, blow to the management of both clubs as the play ers get the greater part of the re ceipts. Had the umpires called the game Monday in the eleventh inning on account of darkness, as they might have done without arousing criticism. It would have meant something like $60,000 more to the management With one out in the fourth Baker got a hit on a hopper to Schmidt that the butcher could not handle and in the play Schmidt got the breath knocked out of him so that the game had to stop until he recovered himself. "Stuffy" Mclnnis singled to left and Baker tore around' to third. Mclnnis tried to move up to second but a fast relay by Connolly to Deal and then from Deal to Evers put the ball on Mclnnis In spite of a great head first slide and Walsh ended the inning by striking out That was about as good a chance as the Athletics had at any stage of the game. They got their one run in the fifth when Barry hit safely over Deal's head, taking second on Schang's infield out Evers to Schmidt Shawkey, after hitting at as poor a ball as ever was thrown to a batter, doubled to center, scoring "Black Jack." Shawkey. reached third on Murphy's out but Oldring fanned. Oldring got his first hit of the series and also got to first for the second time. He was out trying t o steal sec ond. i In the" fourth inning. Evers drew- a walk from Shawkey and took second when Collins threw out Connolly. Col lins then fumbled Whitted's bounder over near first and Evers took third. Schmidt hit a short roller past the box, Barry getting the ball and tossing out Schmidt while Evers scored and the band played, "When Johnny Comes Marching Home."- There was no chance for Barry to make a play at the plate. Shawkey tossed out Gowdy and closed i the inning. I Young Pennock 'took Shawkey's place in the sixth as the Braves went to bat and Stalllngs promptly removed Connolly and put Mann, a right handed hitter, in the left field. He did not remove Moran and substitute Cather. as usual, however, Mann hit for Connolly and was out on a fly to Walsh and Whitted then got a lurlA dnwn tlm tm-r-rt tiHu. line that was fair by about an inch. Schmidt hit grounder that squirted up off Collins' shoe for a hit and Whitted took third. "Lank Hank" Gowdy was called out on strikes and he viewed Byron with the solemn glare of a slugger betrayed. "Hank Lank" has grown mighty confident of I himself up there at bat the past week or 8A double; steal was started by Schmidt and Whitted but Collins intercepted the throw from Schang in behind the pitcher's box and the heavy footed Schmidt was run down between) first and second oe-j fore Whitted could score. WHAT THEY SAY t t .S .1 Stalllngs and Rudolph Tell of Their Victory. Boston Pitcher Says Athletics Were Easy to Beat. J3y George Stalllngs. Boston, Oct 14. I won't say any thing now except that the result does i not i surprise me. I knew my boys could and would deliver. In my ex perience as a baseball manager I have never seen a team like the present Braves team. They are wonders and the baseball public will hear more of them next year. The Braves are where they right fully belong at the top of the base ball heap. And,: unless 1 miss my guess, they will stay there for some time to come. IBy Dick Rudolph. Boston, Oct 14. The Athletics were the easiest team to beat that 1 have faced all year, or in any of the other seven years of my pitching experi ence. I had heard so much about their slugging powers. And I found that they couldn't live up to their reputation. I would rather" pitch against the Athletics all year long than the worst teams in the National or American leagues and I know that my average would show far better. They swung at anything I gave tnem, wnetner it was low, bigri or wide. They showed no batting Judg ment and they were a cinch. I was nervous during the first three Innings of the first game I pitched against them, but after I had pitched to the entire team once I figured I had their numbers. GALLS IT TREASON. Bristow Offended at Comparison Be tween United States and Germany. Washington, Oct 14. An implied comparison by. Senator Thomas -of Colorado of the treatment given the republic of Panama by the United States with that accorded Belgium by Germany in the present war brought on his head the charge of-treason from Senator Bristow of Kansas, in the sen ate Tuesday when the proposal to pay I3S.000.00S to Colombia came up. "I should Uke to state that If $25. 000,000 Is ultimately paid, it will be paid to a lot of blackmailers who are undertaking to blackmail the United States," said Senator Bristow. Senator Thomas retorted: "In all probability after the end of the Euro pean war. if any indemnity is demand ed by Belgium from Germany for the consequences of the vesx, it .will be denounced by 'the German reichstag as blackmail. "The senator from Colorado would imply byv his remarks that the gov ernment of the. United States bad treated Colombia as Germany bas treated Belgium, said Senator Bris tow. There could be no greater slander pronounced against. the gov ernment of the United States and nothing more unjust and in my -opin ion it boraers TO KEIT DALLOTS Supreme Court Issues Alterna- tire. Writ of Eandai tUK ProTlsIoas of Election Xaws Will Be Carried Out. The-, supreme court today granted an alternative writ of mandamus di recting the printing of sample ballots for use and distribution in the general state-wide election November 3. The test suit to determine the conatitu--tionality of the anti-sample ballot provision in the Massachusetts ballot law. was directed against Frank M. Holcomb, county clerk of Wyandotte county. Associate Justices Burch and Benson dissented in the opinion. When the- 1913 legislature passed' the Massachusetts "ballot law, it pro-, vided that the printing, distribution or use of sample ballots should.be a misdemeanor. The general law- pro vides for the printing and use of sam ple ballots. To determine the use of samples. friendly test case was filed against the; county clerk of Wyandotte county. The decision .of the supreme court today, directs the printing of 50 sample ballots for use in each precinct as provided by the general election laws of the- state. In the test case before the supreme court Attorney General Dawson repre sented 'the state and induced' Senator Balie P. Waggener of Atchison, to pre pare a brief for the. Wyandotte county clerk. Notice of the granting- of the writ was filed with the clerk of the supreme court today. The opinion will probably not be prepared for several weeks. Prompt action on the part of the court in granting the writ, gives ample time for the prating of the sam ple ballots. The opinion today is concurred in by Chief Justice Johnston, associate Just ices Mason, West and Porter. A dis senting opinion will be filed by Justices Burch and Benson. GARRISON SAYS D0NT Urgues Governor Hunt Not to Militia to the Border. Send Washington. Oct 14. Secretary Garrison today telegraphed Governor Hunt of Arizona that the dispatch of state militia to Naco or to Douglas, as proposed by the governor, would greatly complicate the situation at those places and that the United States forces there were doing everything that could be done to protect American lives and property from the danger to which they are exposed by the fighting Mexicans, across the line, short of -,..ll 1 T T V fs"y advised the governor to use his w from exposing themselves to danger. Secretary Garrison's message follows: "I have Just received your telegram of October 13. We have at present at Naco, Arizona, 14 troops of cavalry and two machine gun companies. General ti; .-onni,, t ttta it h entfal men of Naco wH, allay the 5?.",," t"U"y a?nlnn??Sl "'J ?,"!L greatest embarrassments arises from the activity of the inhabitants of Naco, -riaoim, ana ex surrounding pmces. who attempt to get near the boundary line to observe the fighting. "We are doing everything short of invading Mexico and driving the com batants away by force, that we possi bly can do. Additional troops would not be of any use to us In doing what it is proper for ns to do, under the circumstances. Were you to send state troops to Naco it could only have the effect of further complicating the situation and adding a new element of risk. It would also introduce the great peril which arises out of divided responsibility. "An ill-considered move on our side may precipitate an armed conflict be tween the American forces and the Mexicans with ultimate consequence that no one can foresee. I feel you should give the gravest consideration to the responsibility you assume in this respect before you determine to do so. "I can assure you and your people that we are giving constant and sym pathetic consideration to the situation and are doing everything we can do short of engaging in hostilities. The president is advised of the contents of this message and concurs with what is said herein." KEEP UP THE FIGHT. Republicans Continue Attack on the War Revenue Bill. Washington. Oct 14. Proposed taxation of proprietary medicines in the war revenue bill was ordered stricken out today by the Democrats of the senate finance committee. Re ports had come of general opposition throughout the country and Majority Leader Underwood and othr mem bers of the house ways and raans committee had given notice that the house would not agree to tax "the poor man's medicine." The commit tee, however, did not eliminate the proposed tax on perfumes, cosmetics and chewing gum which had been added to the house bill. The committee also accepted an amendment which would eliminate bills of lading In the shipment of newspapers and provide that all bun dles included in a -general package on a single train or other conveyance, be regarded as one shipment In lieu of bills of lading. The amendment would require publishers to issue on the fifteenth of each month a sworn statement of the number of such ship ments in the preceding month and at tach to these statements stamps to the value of one cent for each ship ment Shipments made within the county of publication would not be exempt The Republican attack on the war revenue bill was continued in the senate today by Senator Penrose. He declared that the measure was "war legislation in time of peace." and said the necessity for additional revenue arose from the total failure of the Democrat fiscal policy of tariff for revenue only. Senator Lewis of Illi nois made a vigorous reply to Senator Penrose. The Underwood tariff. Sen ator Lewis said, was not framed to meet the present emergency and it could not be called a failure any more than the Dingley bill could have been termed a failure because It did not provide the necessary $700,000,000 to conduct the Spanish war. The sena tor also called attention to the fact' that a Republican congress levied an income tax in June, 1870, o make np for deficiency caused by the Franco Prussian war and that another dis posed of bonds of the treasurv during the Russian-Japanese war.

tils jc: CIRCUS PARADE IN TOPEKA TODAY J0K1T USE OF FGLES. A National committee Has Devised a Feasible Flan. Atlantic City. N. J., Oct. 11. The nation al committee on the joint use of poles, representing the American Electric Rail way advocation, the National Electric as sociation, the American Telephone and Telegraph company and the American In stitute of Electrical Engineers, has pre sented to the conventon of the frst named organisation here its- report on the joint e of Doles. This committee has been at work for two years-devising specifica tions and a form 01 agreement governing the use of the same poles by public util ities, whose wires carry varying voltages. While public utility men nave long seen the desirability both from the standpoint of economy and from public convenience of such joint use, the fact that the cur rent carried over the wires of the differ ent companies varied so greatly in volt age has caused the question of safety to interfere with joint use. The committee, on wmch are some of the leading electrical experts in the coun try, has devised specifications and as-1 signing to each voltage its proper place on the poles and believes it has obviated all points of danger. The general adoption of the agreement and specifications by j companies throughout the country will, 1 it is estimated, reaucea tne number of poles In cities and villages about two-1 thirds.

The production is in six acts, replete with interest,, magnificent in photography, with Al pine scenery of magnificence and grandeur. The part of William Tell is taken by Karl Kienlechner, whose por trayal of the character is said to be most brilliant. The atoryof the legen dary hero of Switzerland is said to be taken from the "chronicle" of Peter man Utterin, clerk of the court in Lu cerne and captain in the wars against Duke Charles of Burgundy. The Ten legend in Its Swiss form appeared for the first time in the latter part of the fifteenth century In a manuscript known as the "White Book of garment." which places the .events-after the ac cession of Rudolph to the Austrian throne in 1273. Schiller's drama, "William Tell," is, however,, founded upon other "chronicles," which say that the main incident occurred in 1307.

Hence, when the one in nas was burned down, they transferred their conferences to the second council cham ber appointed identically the same as the first. As inferred, the organization owned con siderable wealth, and they leased the build ings in which they had their council cham bers, leased them for a number of years, and refurnished them secretly with' trap floors, doors, and panels, and all that apparatus so necessary to men who are .sometimes com pelled to make a quick getaway. When the Atlantic City att mpt was turned into a fiasco by Norton's timely ar rival, Bralne determined once more to rid himself of this meddling reporter. He knew too much, in the first place, and in the sec ond place Brains wanted to learn whether the reporter bore a charmed life or was just ordinarily lucky. He would attempt nothing delicate, requiring finesse. He would simply waylay Norton and make a commonplace end of Mm. He would disappear, this reporter, that would be all; and when they found him fs might or might not be recognizable. Bo Braine called a conference, and he and bis fellow rogues went over a number of expediencies, and finally agreed that the best thing to do would be to send a man to the newspaper, ostensibly as a reporter looking for a situation. With this excuse he would be able to Lang around the city room for three or four days. The idea back of this was to waylay Norton on his way to some assignment which took him to the suburbs. All this was arranged down tc the small est detail; and a man whom they were quite certain Norton had not yet seen was selected to play the part. He had been a reporter once, more's the pity so there was no doubt ef his being able to handle his end of the game. I want Norton, I want him badly," de clared Braine, "and woe to you if you let boose play in between yon and the object of this move." The man selected to act the reporter hung his head. Whisky Lad been the origin of his fall from honest living, and he was pot so calloused as not to feel the sting of re morse at times. More," went on Braine, 44 1 want Norton brought to 49. It's a little off the beat, and we can handle him as we please. When we get rid of this newspaper ferret, there'll be another to eliminate. But he's a fox, and a fox must be set to trail him. "And who Is that?" "Jones, Jones, Jones!" thundered Braine. "He's the live wire. But the reporter first Jones depends a lot on him. Take away this prop and Jones will not b? so sure of himself.

Hargreave is dead," said Vroon stolidly. As dead as I am," snarled Braine. Two .men went away, in that balloon; and 111 wager my head that one man came back. I am beginning to put a few things together that I have not thought of before. Who knows? That balloon may have been car ried out to sea purposely.

He com-, municates with Jones, perhaps' through- the reporter; he has had me followed; it was Le who changed the boxes, bored the hole iu the ceiling, of the other quarters, and learned Heaven knows what" "If that's the case," said Vroon, why hasn't he had us apprehended?" Braine laughed heartily. Haven't yon been able to see by this time what his game is? Revenge. He does not want the police I t x4 n i L -y v''.-.$T S rl d?t ?Ms?? to meddle only In the smaller affairs. He wants to do away with us one by one; be wants to put terror into the hearts of all of as. Keep this point in your mind when yon act. Hell never summon the police unless we make a broad daylight attempt to get possession of his daughter. And even then he would make it out a plain case of kid naping. Elimination, that's the word. All right. Well play at that game ourselves. No. 1 shall be Mr. Norton. And if yon fail Ill break you," Braine added to the ex-reporter. IU get him," said the man sullenly. Later, when he applied for a situation on the Blade, it happened that there were two strikes on hand, and two or three extra men., were needed on the city staff. The man from the Black Hundred was given a temporary job and went by the name of Gregg. For three days he worked faithfully, ab staining from his favorite tipple. He had never worked in New York, so bis record was unknown. He had told the city editor that he had worked on a Chicago paper, now de funct. He paid no attention whatsoever to Nor ton, a sign of no little acumen. On the other hand Norton never went forth on aa assignment that Gregg did not know exactly where he was going. But all these stories kept Norton in town; and it would be al together too risky to attempt to handle Lira anywhere but outside of town. So Gregg had to abide his time. It came soon enough. Norton was idling at his desk when the city editor called him np to the wicket. "Gen. Henderson has just returned to America. Get his opinion on the latest Bal kan rumpus. He's out at his suburban home. Here's the address." "How long will you hold open for me?" asked Norton, meaning how long would the city editor wait for the story. Till one-thirty. You ought to be back by midnight. It's only 8 now." "All right; Henderson's approachable. I may get a good story out of him." 44 Maybe," thought Gregg, who had lost nothing of this conversation. It was Lis opportunity. He immediately left the zone of the city desk for a telephone booth. But as he passed the line of desks and busy reporters he did not note the keen scrutiny of a smooth faced, gray haired mau who stood at the aide of Norton's desk await ing the reporter's return. Why, Jones," cried the surprised Nor ton. What are you doing all tUs way from home? 44 Orders," said Jones, smiling faintly s be delivered a note to the reporter. "Anything serious?" Not that I am aware of. Miss Florence was rather particular. She wanted to be sure that the note reached your hands safely." "And do you mean to say that you came away and left her alone in that house?" Again Jones smiled. 44 1 left her well guarded, you may be sure of that. She will never run away again.". He waited for Nor ton to read the note. It was nothing more than one of those love orders to come and call at once. And BY THE USE OF HIS WATCH. ahe had made Jones venture into town with it! The reporter smiled and put the note .away, tenderly. And then he caught Jones smiling, too. I'm going to marry her, Jones." That remains to be seen," replied tL butler, not unkindly. Well, anyhow, thanks for bringing the note. But I've got to disappoint her to night. I'm off in a deuce of a hurry to in terview Gen. Henderson. IU be out to tea tomorrow. You can find your way out of this old fire trap. By-by!" The moment he turned 'away the smile faded from Jones" face, and with' the quick ness and noiaclcssnras of cat he reached the aide of the boofL' In which Gregg believed himself to be secure from eavesdropping. The half dosen words Jones heard convinced him that Norton was again the object of the Black Hundred's attention. He had seen the man's face that memorable night when the balloon stopped for its passenger. Before Gregg came out of the booth- Jones decided to overtake him and forewarn him, but un fortunately the reporter was nowhere in eight. There was left for Jones nothing else but to return home or follow Gregg when he came out. As this night be knew Florence to be exceptionally well guarded, both within and without the house, he decided to wait and follow the spy. When Braine received the message he waa, pleased. Norton's assignment fitted his pur pose like a glove. Before midnight he would have Mr. Meddling Reporter where he would ft- W v I ;f 1 I't r m Cff tip v 1 r V Wt 'TvhL .isST x-c s4'C JOfiES AFTER DlSPOSIMG OF BRAINE., HELPS MORTOri UP FROti THE'PUf-SHnErrr Room-, bother no one for some time if he proved tractable. If not, he would never bother any one again. Braine gave his orders tersely. Unless Norton met with unforeseen delay, notLing could prevent his capture. When Norton arrived at- the Henderson place, a footman informed him from the veranda that Gen. Henderson was at 49 Elm atreet for the evening, and it would be wise to call there. Jim nodded his thanks and set off in haste for 49 Elm street. The foot man did not enter the house, but hurried down the steps and slunk off among the ad jacent shrubbery. His mission was over with. The house in Elm street was Braine's sub urban establishment. Ho went there occa sionally to hibernate, as it were, to grow a new skin when c'ose pressed. The caretaker was a man rightly called Samson. He waa a bruiser of the bouncer type. It was fast .work for Braine to get out there. If the 3ian disguised as a footman played his cards badly, Braine would have al his trouble for nothing He disguised him self with that infernal cleverness which had long since made him a terror to the police, who were looking for ten different men in stead of one. He knew that Norton would understand instantly that he was not the gen eral but on the other band, he would not know that he was addressing Braine. So the arch conspirator waited; and so Norton arrived and was ushered into tLe room. A single glance was enough to satisfy the reporter, always keen eyed and observant. "I wish to see Gen. Henderson," he said politely. Gen. Henderson Is doubtless at his own house." "Ah!" "Don't be alarmed yet," amid Braine smoothly. I am not alarmed," replied Norton. 44 1 am only chagrined. Since Gen. Henderson is not to be found here,. I must be excused." I will excuse you, presently.". "Ah! I begin to see." Indeed mocked Braine. I have tumbled or walked into a trap." "A keen mind like yours must have recog nised that fact the moment you discovered I was not the general." "I am indebted to the Black Hundred? coolly. "Precisely. We do not wish yon ill, Mr. Norton." "To be sure, no!" ironically. "What with falling safes, poisoned cigarets, and so forth, I can' readily see that yon have my welfare at heart. What puzzled me was the suddenness with which these affection ate signs ceased." You're a man of heart," said Braine with, genuine admiration. "TLese ..affectionate signs, as yon call them, ceased 4beeanse for the time being yon eased to be a menace. Yon have become that once and here on are I" "And what are yes going to do with me now that you have got me? There will be two courses." Brain reached into a drawer and drew out a thick roll of bills. There are here something like $5,000." Quite a tidy sum enough for a chap to get married on." The two men eyed each other steadily. And in his heart Braine sighed. For he saw in this young man's' eyes incorruptibility. It is yours on one condition," said Braine, reaching out his foot stealthily toward the button which would summon Samson. "And that is," interpolated Norton, "that I join the Black Hundred." Or the great beyond, my lad," took op Braine, his voice crisp and co!d. Norton could not repress a shiver. Where had he heard this voice before Braine! He stiffened. "Murder in cold blood?" he managed to any. "Indefinite imprisonment. CLoose." "I have chosen." H'm Braine rose and went over to the sideboard for the brandy. I'm going to offer you a drink to show you that per sonally there are no hard feelings. You are in the way. After you, our friend, Jones. This brandy is not poisoned, neither are the glasses. Choose either and IU drink first. We are all desperate men, Norton; and we stop at nothing. Your life hanga by a Lair. Do you know where Hargreave is?" Norton eyed his liquor- thoughtfully. Do you know where the money is? Norton smelt of the brandy. I am sorry," said Braine. I should have liked to win over a head like yours." Norton nonchalantly took out bis watch, and that bit of bravado perhaps saved his life. In the case of his watch he saw a brutal face behind bim. Without a tremor, Norton took up his glass. 44 1 am sorry to disappoint you,"' Le said "but I shall neither join you nor go to by by." Quick as a bird-shadow above grass, he flung the brandy over his shoulder into the face of the man behind.! Sampson yelled with pain. Almost at the same instant Norton pushed over the table, upsetting Braine with it. Next he dashed through the curtains, slammed the door, and fled to the street, very shaky about the knees, if the truth is to be told. Gen. Henderson's views upon the latest Balkan muddle were missing from the Blade the following morning. Norton, instead of returning to the general'a and fulfilling his assignment like a dutiful reporter, hurried out to Riverdale to acquaint Jones with what Lad happened. Jones was glad to see him safe and sound. "That new reporter started the game," he said. I overheard a word or two while he was talking in the booth. All your telephone booths are ramshackle affairs, you use them so constantly. I tried to find you, but you were out of sight. Now, tell me what hap pened." Sh warned Norton as Le spied Florence coming down the stairs. I thought you couldn't come she cried. "But 10 o'clock!" 44 1 changed my mind," he replied, laughing. He caught her arm in his and drew her toward the library. Jones smiled after them with that enigmatical smile of Lis, which might have signified irony or affection. After half an hour's chat, Florence, quite aware that the two men wished to talk, retired.. At the door Norton told Jones what had taken place at 49 Elm street. "Ah! we must not forget that number," mused Jones. My advice is. keep an eye on this Gregg chap. We may get somewhere by watching him." 44 Do you know where Hargreave is? Jones scratched his chin reflectively. Norton laughed. I can't get anything out f yon." Much less aay one else. I'm growinc fond of yon, my boy. You're a man." Thanks and good-night." When UIga rengos called the next amy Jones divested himself of his livery, donned a ntsln mat and Lnt- and left the honae stealth ily. Today he was determined to learn some thing definite in regard to, this suave, hand some Russian. When she left the house Jones rose from his hiding place and proceeded to follow her. The result of this espionage on the part of Jones will be seen presently. Meantime Jim went doom to the office and lied cheerfully about his missing the general. Whether the city editor believed him or not far of no matter. Jim went over to his desk. From the corner of his eye he could see Gregg scribbling away. He never raised his head ma Jim sat down to read his mail. After awhile Gregg rose and left the office; and, of course, Jim left shortly afterward. WLen the new comer saw that he was being followed, he smiled and continued on hia way. This Nor ton chap waa auspicious. An the better; his suspicions should be made the hook to land him with. By and by tLe man turned Into a drug store and Jim loitered about till he re appeared. Gregg walked with brisker steps now. It was his intention to lead Norton on a wild goose chase for aa hour or so, long enough to give Braine time to arrange a wel come at another house. Norton kept perhaps half a block in the rear of his man all tLe while. But for this caution he would have witnessed a little pan tomime that would have put him wholly upon bis guard. Turning a corner, Gregg all but bumped into the countess. He was quick enough to place a finger on his lips and motion his head toward a taxicab. Olga hadn't tLe least idea who was coming around the corner, but she hailed the cab and was off in it before Jim swung around the corner. Jones, who had followed the countess for something over an hour and a half, hugged a doorway. What now? Le wondered. The countess knew the man. That was evidence enough for the astute butler. But what meant the pantomime and the subsequent hurry? He soon learned. The man Gregg went his way, and 'hen Jim turned the cor ner. Jones cast a wistful glance at the van ishing cab of the Russian, and decided to shadow the shadower in other words, follow the reporter, to see that nothing serious be fell him. The lurer finally paused at a door, opened it with a key, and swung it behind him, very careful, however, not to spring the latch. Naturally Jim was mightily pleased when Le found the door could be opened. When Jones. not far nenind, saw nun. open the Ooor, ba. started to call out a warning, but thought the better of it If Norton was walking into a trap it was far better that he, Jones, should remain outside of it. If Jim did not appear after a certain length- of time, he would start an investigation on his own account. No sooner was Jim In the hallway than he was set upon and overpowered. They had in this house what was known as "the punish-, ment room." Here traitors paid the reckon ing and were never more beard of. Into tLis room Jim was unceremoniously dropped when Braine found that he could get no informa tion from the resolute reporter. The room did not look sinister, but for all that it possessed the faculty of growing smaller and smaller, slowly or swiftly, as the man above at the lever willed. When Jim was apprised of this fact, he ran madly about in search of some mode of escape, knowing full well in Lis heart that he should not And one. Presently the machinery began to work, and Norton's tongue grew dry with terror. They had him this time; there waa not the least doubt of it. And they had led him there by the nose into tLe bargain. Twenty minutes passed, and Jones con cluded it was time for him to act. He went forward to try the door, but this time it waa locked. Jones, however, waa not without re source. The house next door was vacant, and he found a way into this, finally reaching the roof. From this Le jumped to the other roof, found the scuttle open, and crept down the stairs, flight after flight, till the whir of motor arrested him. Conspirators are often overeager, too. 8o intent were the rascal upon the business a hand that they did not notice the door open slowly. It did not take the butler more than a moment to realise that hia friend and ally was near certain death. With an oath he sprang Into the room, gave Braine a push which sent him down to join the victim, nd pitched into the other two. It was a battle royal while it lasted. Jones knocked down one of them, yelled to Norton, and kicked the rope he saw down into the pit. One end of this rope was attached to a ring In the wall. And up this rope Norton swarmed after he had disposed of Braine.

Syllabus. By the Court. Johnston. C J. 1. In a divorce proceeding a judgment was renedered in favor of the wife giving her the custody of the children and ad judging that she and the, children be given a certain, sum as alimony payable in. Installments and that certain personal property of her own should be restored to her. She removed to another state and took one of the children with her, aa she was permitted to do under the judgment, and she died whUe living there. Some of the payments of alimony which had ac crued had not been paid. A court of that state, appointed an executor of her estate and some one else as guardian of the child. Subsequently the -child was taken out of the country' and. this was done with the knowledge and consent of the executor of her estate. It Is held that, the executor of her estate was entitled, upon a proper application, to have the judgment In the divorce proceeding awarding the alimony and adjusting the property rights of the deceased wife re vived. 2. As the executor was not the guard ian of the child nor responsible for Its custody and care the fact that he may have had knowledge of or given his con sent to the removal of the child from the country Is not a sufficient ground for re fusing his application for a revival of the judgment. 3. The right to revive a Judgment in the name of the representative of a de ceased Judgment creditor Is not a matter of discretion with the court but' when an application by a proper party la msde In due form and within the time prescribed by statute the order or revivor must be granted as a matter or right.

An action was brought upon the ap proved theory that if the negligent acta of several persons, slthough acting inde pendently of each other, concurrently re sult in injury to another each of the wrongdoers ia answerable for all of the resulting dnmsges and may be sued Joint ly or separately as the Injured party may elect, but, held, under the testimony In the ease that the dam maintained by a defendant alleged to be a joint tort feasor did not contribute towards the overflow of plaintiff's land and was not thy Prox imate cause of the injury for which the action was brought. 2. The fact that a defendant may have asked a witness of the plaintiff, at the end of the cross examination, a number of questions and thus obtained testimony In support of the defense will not deprive the defendant from challenging the auf flciency of plaintiff's testimony by a de murrer nor prevent the court from con sidering and deciding whether the evi dence of the plaintiff was sufficient to prove a cause of action against the de fendant.

Syllabus. By the Court Porter. J. 1. An omission to marry upon a partlc ulsr day is not necessarily a breach of a promise of marriage; the contract neces sarily continuea in force until the one or the other of the parties by conduct or words manifests an unwillingness to pro ceed to carry it out. and a bonaflde offer to marry is a defense to an action for a breach of promise to marry, where it Is made before the plaintiff has signified her intention to end the matter, although the defendant may have been guilty of conduct that would warrant the plaintiff in considering the engagement at an end. 2. The failure of one to carry out such contract of marriage at the appointed time does not terminate the contract, un less there is an unequivocal election on the part of the other to consider the con tract as terminated; and if following such failure to carry out the contract at the designated time, negotiations are entered upon for the purpose of arranging a sub sequent date for the marriage, such ne gotiations in law constitute a waiver of whatever rights may have accrued by the failure to be married at the desig ns ted time. 3. Plaintiff and defendant entered Into a contract of marriage, in March, 1912, and the date for the ceremony was af terwards fixed for the 26th of September. The marriage did not take place on the date fixed through the fault of the de fendant, or on account of circumstances over which he had no control. Held, the plaintiff could not after said date continue to treat the contract as still in existence and negotiated with the defendant for the setting of a future date, and then after wards elect to treat the contract as hav ing been broken by the postponement of the marriage on the original date. 4. Upon the facta stated In the opinion, held, that certain answers of the Jury to special questions are in conflict with the undisputed testimony and require the granting of a new trial; that there was error in the refusal to give certain in structions, and that, in view of all the facts and circumstances of the ease and the financial worth of the defendant, a verdict awarding the plaintiff $10,000 dam ages is excessive.

In an action for damages for person al Injuries it was shown that the employ ing company in the construction of a bridge was driving piling with the driver placed upon a temporary structure above the surface of the river. Each time the hammer fell it would cause the hammer rope to slacken and strike against the side of the boom near where the plaintiff's duties required him to stand. While thus engaged in the night time with no light except a signal lantern which he held, he was struck by the slack of the hammer rope and thrown from the platform into the river. Held, that the plaintiff having been sent to work on the platform and his duties requiring him to remain there, it was, as to him, a place to work, and the duty devolved upon the master to see that it was reasonably safe. 2. Upon the facts stated In the opinion It cannot be said as a matter of law either that plaintiff assumed the risk or that he was guilty of contributory negligence. 2. The failure of the court in some of the instructions to distinguish between the defense of contributory negligence and assumed risk is not regarded upon the facts of the present case as prejudicial error, the court having In ether Instruc tions correctly defined contributory neg ligence. 4. While in an action for personal In juries it is ordinarily error for the plain tiff to be permitted to testify to the fact that he is married, it Is held In this case that the admission of such testimony over the objections of the defendant was not materially prejudicial. 5. The Jury allowed the- plaintiff the full sum claimed in his petition as dam ages, which Included an item of 1300 tor medical care and attention. There was no evidence to show that plaintiff incur red more than SCO for expense under this item. Held, that the Judgment should be modified by reducing it 2S0. Johnston, C. J., Mason, J., Smith, J..

In an action to recover damages from the owner of a horse and buggy for alleged negllence in colliding with plaintiff's automobile on a highway the defendant filed a pleading called an an swer and cross-petition and in it alleged that the collision was due to the negli gence of he plaintiff himself, and on that basis defendant asked a recovery of dam ages from plaintiff. HELD, that con tributory negligence of the plaintiff waa an Issue In the case and that the court was warranted in Instructing the Jury to the effect that if the negligence of plain tiff contributed to the Injury he could not recover from the defendant although tna allegations or the plaintiff's neglt gence were contained In that part of de I fendant's pleading designated as a cross- i petition. 2. The requirement that: I "Every automobile or similar motor vehicle shall be so constructed as to ex hibit during the period from one hour alter sunset to one hour before sunrise one or more lamps showing white lights, visible within a reasonable distance in the direction towards which the auto mobile lg proceeding," (den. Stat. 1909, see. 449) Is Intended for the guidance and benefit of the persons driving or In charge of an automobile as well as of others who may be using the highway at the same time. 3. It is the duty of the motorist to keep a vigilant watch ahead for other vehicles as well as for pedestrians upon the highway and the lights are required to enable htm to see persons and vehicles on the highway In time to avoid them as well as for the protection of those oc cupying the automobile. 4. A motorist Is not necessarily negli gent when he drives his automobile on the left side ef a highway as he la privileged to use any portion of the traveled part of a highway except when he Is about to meet and pass another vehicle and then under the law of the road he is required to turn to the right.

The pleadings show she learn ed of 'the fraud soon after the convey ances were executed but delayed bringing her action for six and one-half years thereafter for the purpose of securing proof to establish the fact of fraud and to discover whether in fact her husband was living or dead. Held: (a) The cause of action so far as it rested upon fraud and misrepresentation lg barred by her laches and delay. (b) The cause of action for the recov ery of the homestead ia not barred by delay, and plaintiff is not estopped from asserting her homestead rights on the ground that she represented herself to be a widow as the pleadings allege that de fendant acquired his Interest under the lease and the deed with the same knowl edge of the facts concerning the absence of plaintiff s husband that she possessed at the time the instruments were ex ecuted, and it was error to render judg ment against plaintiff on the pleadings. 2. The unexplained absence of a per son for more than seven years Is prima facie evidence of his death but not con clusive evidence.

FARMERS AID "SAFETY FIRST." Are Assisting Roads In Keeping Stock Off Right of Wax Over Country. "Saffftv First" has become a common expression throughout the United States. Manv railroads and large in dustries maintain permanent Safety First organizations at considerable cost. "Safety First" Is taught our school children and in some parts of the country large signs have been erected Informing motorists of dangerous cross ings. Farmers and stock owners adjacent to the railroad are gradually becoming interested in the Safety First idea and are lending their assistance to prevent stock from getting onto the right of way by keeping private farm crossing gates closed and in good repair. A large stock raiser recently remarked that he desired to co-operate with the railroads by taking every precaution to keep his stock off the right of way, because In doing so he was preventing possible serious accidents and loss of life to passengers. Someone dear to him or even he himself might be a passenger on a train which struck his own stock due to a gate having been left open by himself or employes. Many farmers and stock owner- are discontinuing the practice of permitting their stock to graze and roam on pub lic thoroughfares and property, as the animal- frequently reach the railroad track- and were struck by passing trains, sometimes causing serious de railments. Town authorities are also taking a great Interest in the movement to pre vent accidents from this source (which costs 19 western railroads about two million dollars per annum) by the pas sage of stock ordinances prohibiting stock running at large in town limits. The railroads are also constantly In structing their employes in train, sta tion and section service as to their duty towards keeping stock off the right of way. FALL WHEAT IS PLANTED. Kansas Fanners Are Believed to Be Holding Most of Spring Crop. Reports to the freight department of the Santa Fe railway company are that from 75 to 90 per cent of the fall wheat acreage of Kansas has been planted, and most of it is up, and do ing well. In the western part of the state the farmers were kept back with their work on account of the harvest rush, and by the dry weather late in the summer which made plowing dif ficult. However, with an open fall. farmers can plant wheat in the west till near the middle of November. The Santa Fe reports indicate that the Kansas wheat acreage will be about what it was a year ago: J. R. Koontz, general ireignt agent oi the Santa Fe. gives it as his opinion that at least 60 per cent of this year's wheat crop In Kansas still is held by the farmers much of it in the stack. Farmers will be threshing In Santa Fe counties till the end of December, he -ays. FRENCHMEN THROUGH STATE.

"Mollycod dled boys should play football." is the opinion of Dr. James Naismith, head of the department of physical education of the University of Kansas, in a state ment made Tuesday afternoon. j "Not that the pampered boy would make such a good football player," con-, tinued Dr. Naiamith. "But he Is the one who most needs that kind of phy sical education. Of course the boy who is sickly should not go In for football, but it is not often the case that the sickly boy la the mollycoddle," Dr. Naismith has other ideas than this about how a football team should be built if it were to exist for the good of the men Dlavine the game. "The wiry little man should play in the line." i oeneves the doctor. "He Is already de veloped in speed and needs the work that the line would give him. The big ivi.u, iruwvne wouiu lie given m, cnance to develop the slow part of his body." Football material for the K. U. team goes through the physical education de partment to be looked over, some of it weeded out, some of it selected. Some men are advised to stay out of football; others are sent to the coaches at once. "Two types of men are unfit for football- according to Dr. Naismith. "One class of men are abnormally built; the other class has been too slow in its de velopment, for good football material." HANDSOME NEW EDIFICE.

Health First In buying food articles we must consider several things economy, results, conveni ence, reliability; but the mpst important is Health. Health means everything. If one gets cheated in buying dresses, shoes or bonnets it is provoking, but the harm is chiefly loss of money. In buying food articles, if imitations or poof stuffs are supplied, there is a loss of money and probably an injury to health also; end good health is beyond price. Remember these facts when buying baking powder. Absolutely Pure No Alum KANSAS G. A. R. HONORED. Capt. McDowell of Smith Center on uen, uardners Staff. Smith Center, Kan.. Oct. 14. Capt. National G.

A PATHETIC STORY. A Mother Unwittingly Asks Wounded Son to Walk. Bordeaux, Oct. 14. Here la a story. poignant in its misery. A mother went to see her son at a hospital. He was lying comfortably tucked in bed. his head wrapped in a bandage. "You do not suffer much?" she asked anxiously. "None, petite mere." replied the soldier, "pas trop. "The di7 is fine," she continued. "Let us go for a little turn in the garden: your head will be all the bet ter for it." And she pointed to his bandaged brow. "Excuse, mother dear." he said. "I am a little fatigued." "Well, tomorrow?" "Yes, perhaps tomorrow," and she departed happy in the thought of see ing her son -the -next day. When it came and the invitation was renewed and it was again declined, with a lit tle less assurance the maternal heart became suspicious. "But you must bet wounded more seriously than you said," she said anxiously. "Bend near. mother, and X will tell you." "My two legs and my left arm have gone." The shoc was terrible: her be loved boy, so handsome, so charming In his nature! No, no, it could not be true! When the truth could no longer be 'denied, -on evidence a frightened glance, she rushed a de mented creature from the ward, cry ing out her misery.
