RUSSIAN NEWS" STILL BAD Muscovites Forced to Abandon the Invasion of Silesia. Troops Needed on Another Part of Battle Line. HEADED FOR THE CHAOEL Germans Making Desperate Ef fort to Reach Tide Water. Allies Are Just as Determined to Prevent It. London. Oct. 15. The gloom which has enveloped England since the fall of Antwerp has been somewhat lightened by the news contained in official com munications, that the allies are more than holding: their own in the furious fighting along the Franco-Belgian bord er but this feeling of elation has been tempered by the growing realization that the Russian invasion OI Silesia which was believed to be im mediate must be postponed indefinitely pending ihe outcome of the battle in Kuesian Poland. Russia in the east seems to have been compelled to fol low the steps of her enemy in the west and sacrifice the fruits of her victories by sending reinforcements to another part of the long battle front. The resumption of the Austro-Ger-man offensive in Galicla was an out come of the action of Russia in sending heavy reinforcements to the River Nie men, evidently under the impression that invasion of the Suwalki district una ii real menace and not merely a divertine movement. The withdrawal of Russian forces from western Galicia, however, is regarded here to be not as complete as first reported, for Vienna admits that Frzemysl is still Invested on one side, while Petrograd reports that the garrison of, this fortress, has been invaded by disease and is on the point of capitulation. Other dispatches from the Russian capital refer to activity along the Vis tula river, where several attacks ere said to have been repulsed and. declare that the great battle, probably is now under way unless the Austro-German advance has been hampered by bad weather. Some idea of the fierceness of the fighting in Western France can be gs.ined from the fact that the town of Roye. now in possession of the allies.

The German encir cling movement toward the channel has failed in its purpose. Unofficial word received here indicated that the Belgian and British forces, formerly concen trated near Ostend, has successfully ef fected a Junction with a strongly re inforced column of French troops and had inflicted a severe check on the Germans. Their line of advance west ward across the Franco-Belgian fron tier, it was reported, had been bent back under an assault in which the Germans lost heavily. The British forces are bearing the brunt of this particular fighting. The official press bureau has not made pub lic anything that would indicate the number of British troops in this sec tion, or whether they have recently been added to by reinforcements sent fmm England. Ultimate occupation by the enemy of Ostend is accepted and discounted. A blockading fleet of medium strength such as could easily be spared from the flotilla now concentrated off Heligo land would render Ostend useless as a base for aerial operations by the enemy. The public in London continues in fear of a Zeppelin raid but military and aeronautical authorities point out that Germany would hardly be able to establish such an aerial depot at Ostend. A fleet off the harbor could easily shell a Zeppelin hangar in the city and hangars are absolutely necessary for Zeppelin operation. TWO DAYSMJATTLE Results in Overwhelming De feat of the Austrians.

That little land beyond the sea Tossed with turmoil, racked by war. Tho' patriots' corpses dot h?r fields And verdant meads are mucked with gore Tho' mothers wait their sons in vain And widowed hearts are wrung with pain. Think ye her folk will now despair? Turn history's page and view her past. Its sires of yore the great defied Oft brought to earth the pride of kings, or fettered in a conqueror's chains And weighted with his galling yoke.

A CANAL JIED UP Landslide at Culebra Cut Stops All Traffic Several Ships Are Caught in the Waterway. Panama, Oct. 15. A serious landslide in the Culebra cut at a late hour last night interrupted completely all traffic through the Panama canal. Several ships in the canal have been unable to complete their passage. The reports indicate that there were earth movements on both sides Into the channel from the slopes of Gold and Contractor hills which are vir tually opposite each other. Colonel Goethals and other officials are this morning making an examination of the extent of the damage. It is said that traffice through the canal probably i will be interrupted for some time. Washington Is Not Worried. Washington, Oct. 15. News of the landslide into Culebra cut caused no alarm at the Isthmian canal commis sion offices. While regretting the tem porarily closure of the canal the of ficials say this slide would have its compensation from an engineering point of view, because it would hasten the final subsidence of the mobile matter in the cut, thereby insuring the perma nency of the waterway. No official re port on the slide had reached the com mission. It was recalled that in almost every reference to the Culebra operations Col. Goethels had pointed out that the earth had not reached a state of equilibrium and that probably it would be necessary to continue dredging oper ations for many months after the wa terway waa opened. It was hoped that these earth movements would not be sufficiently extensive to Interfere with the navigation of the canal, though the channel at some points in the cut, notably at Gold Hill, where the earth reached its greatest height on the isthmus, would necessarily be consider o .i vwi,wut tM ...t, v. nB.

According to re ports reaching Venice, cholera is making rapid strides throughout Hun gary and the progress of the disease is causing alarm among the people.

A ne Austrian dreadnaught,. just completed, whose launching was scheduled for this afternoon at the government ship build ing yards at Nonf alcone de Prieste, mysteriously caught fire today and was badiy damaged. Six new torpedo boats were also round aflame and several were seriously damaged before the fire was extinguished. The 1.400 employes were Just starting the final day's work, on the big dread naught when the fire was discovered in several places on the scaffolding and in .the hull. The rapidity with which the flames spread gave rise to the be lief that the incendiary, had used oil in different places to, start the fire. The entire ship yard was under mill' tary control today.

CASE FALLS FLAT State Was Weak in John Col lins Blackmail -Hearing. No Evidence to Prove That Crime Was Committed. WITNESSES WERE STO Roy L. Bone Engaged That Kansas City Detective. Motor Party Say Collins Rode in Their Automobile. At the preliminary hearing of John Collins charged with attempting to blackmail Theodore Hammatt into giv ing him $15,000, held In the court of Topeka today, W. E. Atchison, county attorney and Rad M. Lee, assistant county attorney, after stating to the court, "The state rests its case," dis- covered that their side of the case was out on a limb and that J. s. Ensminger, attorney representing Collins, was saw !ng off the limb. Ensminger offered no evidence what ever, but called the attention of the judge to the fact that no evidence had been offered tending to prove Collins the author of the threatening letters and further that the state had even neglected to prove that a crime had been committed or attempted on the Topeka avenue road or any other place, Even the flashlight and the part played by the detective from Kansas City in discharging his revolver at something had been overlooked by the state. All the state had done was to identify Col lins as the man who had stopped the Campbell automobile and had ridden on the running board of the machine to a place in front of the Allenhurst farm. Judge Ensminger contended that it had not been proven any crime had been committed other than the writing of some threatening letters and that no evidence had been offered establishing even probably guilt on the part of Col lins. Judge Garver was inclined to take this view of the case, and W. E. Atchi- (Continued on Page Six.J TO DRAIVSPAIN IN Effort to Get Her to Side With the Allies. Believe Portugal's Action Would Mean Spanish Invasion. Washington, Oct. 15. Appeals to Spain to take up arms with Portugal on the side of England were described by officials at the Spanish embassy to day as anti-government propaganda set on foot by the radical party. This party, it was stated, opposed the cam paign in Morocco on humanitarian grounds, but now, joining with the army officials, is urging that Spain espouse the cause of the allies. There is, on the other hand, em bassy officials asserted, a strong pro German feeling among many Spanish civilians with whom the historical sympathy of the two nations plans an important part.

President Wilson Intends to stop his attacks on "big business." In a letter which it is understood the president is preparing to send to Oscar W. Underwood, the Democratic house leader, it 's announced that there will be no further effort by the administration at business regulation. The next legislative program of the president will be directed to the pas sage of laws to develop the natural resources of the country. The last of the bills which had for their" object the regulation of big busi ness was the Clayton anti-trust meas ure that has Just passed congress. At the White House it is said that the president feels that now the country "for the first time" is pro vided with sufficient legal machinery to restrain monopolies and to curb any attempted unfair practices in trade or commerce.

The Italian gov ernment's policy in regard to the Euro- Dean war was made plain by Ambassa dor Macchi di Ceflere today, when he stated that Italy would not take up arms unless she was forced to do so by some overt act which threatened her own safety. Although officially a member of the Triple Alliance, and bound by this agreement with Germany and Austria' Hungary for purposes of mutual protec tion, the ambassador declared that his country had no intention of endanger ing Its neutrality by yielding to the in fluence of any outside powers to take aides in the conflict.

THM KANSAS Property Blch in All Natural Advantages, Is Claim. Announcement in Topeka of Sales Early in November. While beef steers are bringing eight and one-half cents on the Kansas City market, and lumber retailing for about four cents a" square foot, the. United States government according to an an nouncement In Topeka today is prepar ing to sell a million acres of gracing land in a country with a longer grow ing season and a greater rainfall than Kansas for from 31 to $1.50 per acre; and to dispose of 277 million feet of merchantable pine and 18 million feet of hardwood timber for from SL50 to $2.50 per thousand feet for the pine and 75 cents to $1 per thousand feet for the hardwood. More than one and one-quarter mil lions of acres of land in southeastern Oklahoma is to be sold at public auc tion by the United States government at a series of sales beginning Nov. 3 and continuing until Dec 2. Practically all of three large counties 'in the south east corner of the state and a large portion of several other counties are included in these sales. The lands to be sold are divided into two classes: Tribal Indian timber lands to which an absolute title is given without any restrictions, and "segre gated coal lands" to which absolute title is given to the surface of the land and to all minerals except coal and asphalt. A person buying this class of land and discovering oil or gas in it will be entitled to it and much of this is in counties where oil and gas have already been discovered. Of the Umber lands there are nearly a million acres, or to be exact 968,000 acres, located in Pittsburg. Latimer. LeFlore, Pushmataha and McCurtain counties. The places and times of sales are: McAlester, Nov. 3; Wilburton, Nov. 4-5; Poteau, Nov. 6-7; Hugo, 9-10-11-12. At the latter place over a half million acres will be offered for sale. The first two days of the sale will be of lands in Pushmataha county and the last two days of McCurtain county lands. Practically all of these two counties are for sale. Bids may be submitted at the time and place of sale either in person or by duly authorized agents with written power of attorney, or by mail indicat ing the minimum and maximum amounts bid. Twenty-five per cent of each bid must be enclosed. The re mainder of the pjrchase price can be paid in three annual installments. The minimum price of the lands classified as agricultural ranges from 32 to 33 per acre according to location, all other lands from $1 to $1.60 per acre; in addition the pine located on the land is appraised at from $1.50 to $2.50 per thousand feet and the hardwood at from 75 cents to $1. Buy Iand in a Bunch. The land and the timber cannot be bid upon separately but must be bought together. A purchaser cannot buy more than 160 acres of the land classed as agricultural, but can buy as much as he wishes of the grazing or timber land. Residence on the land is not re quired. Much of this land has houses and other improvements on it. All such improvements which were made prior to August 1, 1913, will be sold with the land. Of the "segregated" lands there are 335,000 acres scattered over Haskell, LeFlore, Latimer, Pittsburg, Atoka, Pushmataha, Coal, Carter, Murray, Jefferson, Pontotoc and Johnston counties and sales will be held at Stig ler, November 16-17; Poteau, Novem ber 18-21; Wilburton, November 23 24; Atoka, November 28; Coalgate, November 30 and December 1; Ard more, December 2. The government announcements of these sales describe the lands as fol lows: "All clases of land are embraced in this offering, including rough moun tain, grazing, tine agricultural and considerable portions well adapted for fruit growing. The minimum prices range from II to 325 per acre and the tracts vary in size from 40 to 640 acres These are the best tribal Indian lands y ,ed and are ln compact bodies. A large number of these tracts are substantially improved with houses, barns, etc, which will be sold with the land and the full appraised value of such improvements must be paid at the time of the sale." A Topeka man who attended sev eral similar sales of Indian lands in Oklahoma, expresses the opinion that very little of the land will sell for more than the minimum price the government l.as placed on it and that a large proportion of it will not be sold at all for lack of bidders. "These sales have not received the publicity that has beei given western land openings and the result has been that there has been very little compe tition among bidders except in a few instances where "prize" pieces of land were sought At previous sales there has been land enough for all who wished to buy and so no necessity to bid much more than the lowest price the government would consider. Ac cording to government reports the av erage rainfall for the last five years where most of this land is situated has been 38.5 inches, "which is ap proximately four inches more rainfall than Topeka's average. Most of the timber land Is also fair grazing land." ET!etANDISBLAr.ED. Held Responsible for Belgium's Mis fortunes by German Press." Rome..

They also show the wisdom ot Baron ureuiai, (the Belgian minister to Berlin), who had the right opinion about trusting English protection. Bis predictions were realized.

"It's 'Milk' Cows in Kansas Hereafter -J. C. Mohler. Secretary of Agriculture Ban ishes Name From Reports. Another good old standby has been sent to the ashheap. J. C. Mohler, sec retary of the Kansas board of agricul ture, has decided that the word "milch" should no longer appear ln the official reports of the department, even though precedent, the government old fogies and the dictionary '(and proof readers) say it is a good word and just fits the case. (Sale bill artists take notice.) "No one in Kansas ever uses the word any more," said Mohler. "We have been using it in our reports but never again! The word has a definite meaning but many do not understand it. Milch cows are those giving milk. But I have never heard a lecturer or anyone else use the word but it has always appeared in our reports. It is a mean sort of word to speak and except for statistical pur poses it has grown obsolete. "A great many people have asked us why we continue to use the word in our reports and we have always replied that the dictionary and precedent kept it in type but we didn't like it. There isn't any use in using one word for statis tics and another for discussing exactly the same thing so this department is going to kick the dictionary out this time and use the common, old term, 'milk cows' for cows that are giving milk." It is expected that there will be a howl from the language purists about this word and the use of the more com mon terms but Mohler, and Mr. Coburn before him. have stacks of letters ob jecting to the use of the word at all and asserting that they were holding back the progress of the language by using a word that no one knew the meaning of and no one ever used when the common term was just as definite, if not quite so particular in its techincal meaning.

IN BIG FARHIOSSES American Farmers Heed "Head Work, Says Wichita Speaker. Factory Methods Would Aid Agricultural Pursuits. Wichita, Kan., Oct. 15. A plea for the application of business efficiency measures to the. business of farming was made In an address before the International Try Farming congress here., today by Thomas Cooper, -director of the South Dakota- experimenT station. "The difference between the suc cessful farm and i the unsuccessful farm is largely a question of applied efficiency in production, and organi zation of the farm business," he said. "The central west has led In the or ganisation of farming on a business basis. Today the problem of farming efficiency is the "greatest problem of this group of states. The prosperity of the merchant the manufacturer and the transportation companies rest upon it." Mr. Cooper pointed out that It Is necessary to develop systems of dis tribution of "farm products that in volve less loss and waste and asserted that this is a problem of organization and co-operation. "Estimates Indicate that the aver age farmer in this country receives 45 to Z5 cents from each dollar ex pended by the consumer," he contin ued, "while farmers in most Euro pean countries receive 60 to 65 cents." Surveys have been made in various sections of the country, Mr. Cooper asserted, to determine the factors af fecting efficiency In the business of farming. "In an investigation of groups of farms located ln townships in Indi ana, Illinois and .Iowa, it was found that one farmer out of every 22 re ceived a labor income of more than 32,000 a year; one of every three paid for the privilege of working, that Is, after deducting five per cent interest on their investments they lost money," he charged. "Similar investigations in New Tork Indicated that one-third of the farm owners made less than hired men, one-third about the same as hired men, and the rest more. When the farmer of the United States learns to pay as close attention to his two great fields of effort production and distribution as -does the manu facturer to his plant, then and then only will.-the business of farming reach a- firm basis,", Mr." Cooper con cluded. flDEOF WAR. IConttnned from page One.1 has been taken and retaken no less than 12 times. There is no question in the minds of British observers that the German army is making desperate ef forts to reach the channel coast and that the allies are no less determined to prevent such an extension of the battle line. England Fears a- Raid. England already is speculating on the possibility of ar German air raid, which could only become possible if the Ger mans are successful in securing a base on the coast opposite the narrow part of the English channel. The Germans are reported as' having been turned out of that corner of French territory where tt Juts Into Belgium and, having retired, they are said to be strongly entrenched. This report declares that the Germans intended to dash on -Calais incidentally with the--attack on Antwerp but their efforts In that direction appear to have oeen coectcu. Berlin reports the occupation of Lille but declares that other than this there Is nothing new to report on the western front. According to dispatches reaching London, typhus has shown itself among the German troops along the western front and rumors of the outbreak of various other diseases are increasing. England is taking note of these reports by sending to the front three of her most Important medical men as an. ad visory body to co-operate with the reg THE PATH OF THE STORM ular medical staff in the prevention of epidemics. A correspondent In Italy reports that the war fever in that country is abat ing, even the most determined anti Austrians now agreeing that no bellig erent move should be made before next spring. Turkey continues in a truculent mood and trouble already may have be gun In the Black sea, where heavy fir ing has been heard and where it is believed the- famous German cruisers Goeben and Breslau. which have been sold to Turkey may have been engaging the Russian fleet. Ostend is now virtu ally a deserted city, with its docks still crowded with terror stricken refugees intent only on getting as far as pos sible from the scenes of suffering. The repatriation- of Belgian fugitives promises to become a serious problem both ln England and Holland and these countries -mer-aM-Hn- -the United States to a.tW8r JMCE5i: y: -Farther detachments of Canadian troops are landing today. i Berlin's Version. Berlin. Oct. 15. Information con cerning the progress of the war was given out in Berlin today as follows: "German troops ln Belgium are now marching in- part toward Ostend and in part in a southwesterly direction to ward the French frontier. The head quarters of Emperor William have been moved farther Into France. "There has been heavy fighting ln France, east of Soissons and the Argonne. The French official reports about successes in the Woevre district are untrue. The Germans nowhere have lost ground. Etain (12 miles to the east of Verdun) is in German hands. French attacks against our position near St. Michiel have been re pulsed. "The war booty secured In Antwerp cannot yet be estimated. Twenty-six thousand Belgians and 2,000 English men have been interned in Holland. In the harbor of Antwerp we found 32 German steamers; the boilers of which apparently had been disabled. Rus sian forces have been defeated near Schirwindt (in East Prussia, 19 miles to the east of Gumbinnen) with a loss of 1,500 prisoners and 20 cannon. German troops have repulsed the Rus sians south of Warsaw and hold south ern Poland as far as the Vistula river. "Emperor William acting on a peti tion handed him by Cardinal Hart- mann of Cologne, has oraereo tnat French Catholic priests among the prisoners in Germany who entered the i French ranks as common soldiers shall !be treated in Germany in the same 'manner as are French officers. I "It is reported here from Stettin 'that German torpedo "boat destroyers discovered six vessels of Norwegian, Swedish and Danish nationality loaded with goods destined for London and Grimsby and also for Russia. All were taken into Swindemung." Statement From Vienna. London. Oct 16. Renter's Tele gram company has received from Amsterdam the: following official statement issued in Vienna: "The general staff says that the Russians have occupied fortified posi tions on the line of Stry, Sambor and Midyra in Galicia. The Austrians are now attacking the positions. "In the Carpathians the Austrians occupied Toronya after four days of fighting and pursued the enemy in the direction of Wyskow. Smaller success ful skirmishes have taken place in the Visso valley." INCREASE ALLOWED. Advance in Rates on Hides Upheld by the I. O. C Washington, Oct. 15. A proposed In crease in freight rates on hides from points in New Mexico and Arizona to Los Angeles, California fro 80 cents to I 31.20 a hundred pounds, was held by 4 the interstate commerce commission to j day to be reasonable.

Diamond Heroes Succumb to the Lure of the Footlights. New Tork, Oct. 15. The stage Is about to be enriched by the advent of two eminent Bostonians. Messrs. Rudolph and Gowdy, Dick and Hank, who recently figured prominently ln the overthrow of a certain swagger ing white elephant, are going into vaudeville. They will appear at Ham erstein's next weelC and. are now thick in the threes of rehearsal. Tear after year basebaU goes on contributing to the stage and to liter ature and now greedy Thespis lays hands on the boss pitcher and the boss slugger the last national dia mond collision. f f r tContinued from page One. It seems plain- now that the Ger man plan was to sweep on to Ostend and thence to the French ports in the same impetuous way that character ized the rush toward Paris, but in this, British military experts say, the invaders have been meeting with the most stubborn kind of resistance. The rigidneas of the censorship precludes more than guesses as to which Bide scored in the fighting which followed th retirement of the Belgians and the advance of the Germans ln the vicin ity of Ghent. In the rear of the city it Is said the Germans have 100,000 men and all signs Indicate that a vKlent battle for possession of Ostend and other chan nel ports is imminent, or in actual progress. What became of the Bel gian army which retreated from Ant werp is not yet known to the public Nor is the composition of the allied forces seeking to check the German seaward advance clear. As was the case before the fall of Antwerp, the British press in a meas ure, discounts the German occupation of Ostend though it was pointed out that if the allies continue to hold the town of Tpres, which cuts the German line, the continued occupation of Ostend would be difficult. Germans are reported in Belgulm as for northwest as Bruges, which place their cyclists and patrols are said to have entered. Nothing during the forenoon Indi cated any marked change in the situa tionin Fance or in the eastern war arena. Kins; Leaves London.

Myers.) Minneapolis wheat stocks have in creased 1,000,000 bushels thus far this week. Elevator stocks of wheat at Kansas City have Increased 130,897 bushels thus far this week and corn stocks Increased 474 bushels. Reports from the United States and Canada today were 350,000 bushels of wheat 21.000 barrels of flour, 172,000 bush els of corn and K.0OO bushels of oats. The European visible supply of wheat decreased 172.000 bushels last week and now amounts to 43.148.000 bushels, com pared with 77,800,000 bushels a year ago. World's visible supply of wheat acocrd lng to Bradstreet's, Increased 7.358,000 bushels last week. In the corresponding week a year ago the Increase was 3,632,000 bushels. A cable from Argentina says there has been a heavy breck in corn prices which has broug-ht about a meeting of brokers and outside middlemen to endeavor to check sales until prices advance suffi ciently to cover expenses and to obtain from the banks and commercial creditors tentlons of obligations until sales become profitable. A general invasion of locusts, which is a menace to corn, is another rea son for these measures. A cable from Liverpool reads as fol lows: "An official report estimates yield of wheat in France at 234 million bushels, compared with 323 million bushels last year. Annual consumption is 330 million busnels. Tne crop in iiaiy is omciaiiy reported at 148 million bushels, compared with 203 million bushels last year. An nual importations are about 46 million bushels: this figure will likely be exceeded this season. Rye flour In Germany is slightly cheaper, while other cereals are advancing rapiaiy. xieia or pguraa is estimated at 30 million tons, compared with 38 million tons last year." rjOemmo friNlit- Mari.

Iii T$ v ALL-STAR TOUR American and National League Players to Barnstorm. Teams Will Go to Coast and Then on to Honolulu. Chicago, Oct. 15. Players who are to make up the all-star club of the American and National leagues will assemble he i tomorrow for their post season tour, which opens in Milwau kee on Saturday. The American league club will be under the man agement of Connie Mack, leader of the Philadelphia Americans. Frank Bancroft, business manager of the Cincinnati Nationals, will have charge of the National league players. After playing in the principal cities in Cal ifornia the clubs will sail for Honolulu on November 24 and return shortly after the first of the year. "Big Bill" James, whose pitching aided the Boston club In defeating the Athletics in the world series, will be a memb-r of the National all-star pitching staff. SURPRISE' TO GRIGGS. Topeka Federal Iieague Player Did Not Expect Braves to Win. Art Griggs, one of Topeka's contri butions to the big leagues, who has just returned home from a successful season as first sacker with the Brooklyn Feds, expressed surprise at the victory of the Boston Braves over the Mack men. Art practically began his baseball ca reer at Topeka and has made good in many leagues. In the Texas League he played with the now famous Gowdy and says that "Lanky Hank" Is a fellow who is liable to break up a game at any moment. Art was out of the last games of the Fed season because of injuries and in his leisure gave .the Braves and Atheletics the once over repeatedly-to get a line on the world's championship dope. The following statements will give some idea of how surprising the re sults of the series were to him: "Before the world series started," Griggs said, "I did not see how the Boston Braves had the slightest chance to win. I thought they would be liter ally overwhelmed by the Athletics and I am as much surprised as Connie Mack must be. "When I left the east," he continued, "practically all of the ball players In all the leagues thought It was an open and dead cinch for the Athletics. There was any amount of 2 to 1 money to be had that the Philadelphia team would win. and honestly the Braves were hardly considered seriously. It is the mat complete upset of ..baseball dope I have ever known." ,i Griggs says that Maranvllle of Boston, is the greatest shortstop in the game and that Kvers is playing a better game than he ever did in his life. He says that before the series started, outside of Maranvllle. Kvers, Rudolph, Connolly and Gowdy, he considered the Braves woefully poor. He thought that James would blow up and that the hitting of the Braves would be weak. Griggs does not believe that there will be any peace agreement made by the two big leagues and the Federal League, and thinks it will be a war to the finish. He says the Federal League ia Just as strong financially as either the National or American Leagues, and has unbounded faith in its stability. WITH TnTBOXERS. Bt. Louis Fight Was Fake Referee Calls It Dillon Arrested. St. Louis, Oct. IS. Jack Dillon, claimant for the middleweight Cham pionship; his manager, Sam Marbur ger, and his second, Robert Stolker, all of Indianapolis, were arrested here Wednesday night after a bout be tween Dillon and George. "Knockout" Brown was stopped In the fourth round by Referee Eddie Randall, who declared the fighters were merely feigning. The bout was scheduled for ten rounds. At the -end of the third round Randall warned the fighters that unless they put more punch into the affair he would terminate the fight, on the grounds that there was no contest. At the close of the next round, he kept his word. The trio from Indianapolis were ar rested at the request of the manage ment of the club at which the fight was staged. The police declared they would hold Dillon and his manager and second for investigation by the chief of police.. Throughout the bout the fighters were hissed by the audience for their lack or aggressiveness. Randall an nounced that the bout was "off" be cause the fighters were merely feign ing brought wild applause from the huge crowd which Sued the coliseum. According to Paul Dillon, attorney for the club at which the fight was seen, Marburger secured $750, Jack Dillon s share of the proceeds, before the fight on the plea that he and his fighter had to leave St. Louis on a midnight train. Neither Brown nor his manager made any request for their share before the opening of the fight and were therefore not arrested. Ritchie to Meet Dundee. San Francisco. Oct, 15. Willie Ritchie and Johnny Dunde were signed here Wednesday to box four rounds on the evening of October 23. This will be Ritchie's first match since he was defeated as lightweight cham pion by Freddie Welch of Bngland. Successes and Failures of the National Teams. New York, Oct. 16. This is the open season for winning pennants. The "Next Year" cry is upon us, and any old team at all is at lberty to go as far as It likes toward copping the flag in the conversation race which will be in progress during the coming sessions of the Stove league. The bust-up and the awakening is with held until the grass is green again and suitable alibis have been framed. The most convincing and sustained "next year" talk was evident in the vicinity of Boston during the winter of 1913-14, but these Boston folk made good. In 1912, the Braves had finished last in the National league scramble. Last year found them at the head of the second division, and with the acquisition of Johnny Kvers, the "next year" talk became loud and persistent. It looked like further waste of conversation up to July, but after that most everybody knows more or less what happened. Now Boston can see nothing else but an other pennant In 1915 and consider ing the unprecedented feat of the Braves this year, and the general out look among the other teams, argu ment at this stage of the game is largely futile. Giant Prospects. The Giants are expected to present one of the greatest changes in the history of the team when they take the field for the 1915 race. The next year talk in New York is weak and wavering for no one knows what, to expect. There is no doubt, however, that Manager McGraw plans a house cleaning. His machine has fallen to pieces. The four-time pennant hoo doo struck with full force upon the Giants Just at a time when it seemed McGraw would overpower the jinx. The infield, catching department and the outfield are now sadly, in need of bolstering up. New blood is needed, and McGraw intends to reconstruct his team not upon the wreck of his present organisation, but after weed ing eut those who have slipped back. There Is likely to be some lively trad ing this winter in which the Giants who have heretofore figured in the world's rc.-'es box scores wil be shunt ed away from Broadway, Burns in the outfield, and Fletcher at short, and Tesreau in he box are about the only men who displayed anything like the form McGraw must have. It was not one of Matty's great years, but no one is talking of a trade involving Bix Six. As for the rest of the team. however, no one's neck Is any too se cure. Next year's pennant is not conceded to Boston in St. Louis or Chicago, or even Brooklyn, for that matter. The rise of the Cardinals has been all but as sensational as the Braves. They didn't go as far as did Stalling's men, but kept everlastingly at it, and may be expected to give a good account of themselves next year." The -Cubs ob viously we're suffering from internal troubles during the past season. They have the pitchers and the power and under real leadership will be danger ous to any team. Brooklyn staged an eleventh hour spurt that carried them to the top of the second division. The Dodgers have a habit of arousing hopes at the tail-end of the season, or making a wild dash at the start and then dying out, so they look about the same for next year. Problem at Pittsburg. At Pittsburg there is a problem. This team, on paper one of the strongest in the entire outfit, has been a complete fizzle. Early in the sea son McGraw declared it was the Pi rates the Giants had to beat if they were to win their fourth consecutive pennant. Something will have to happen in Pittsburg. Reports that Red Dooin is to be re lieved of the management of the Phillies will not down. The Federal league raid put the blink on the Phil lies this year, where sickness and in juries have stepped in before. To the famous board of directors is left the hapless Cincinnati Reds. Charlie Herzog took 'em and made them jump through hops, roll over and dash into the first place early this season, but they then settled and continued to settle until they nearly fell out of the percentage column. In September they pulled the. history making stunt of losing 19 straight games. It is fashion to have a new manager in Cincinnati about every spring, but the Red's fashion plate for 1915 is as yet missing, Cincinnati being the last word in National league affairs.

RAILROAD FARES REBATED ft t Coach "Crip" Gray drove his men through a hard practice In the rain and mud at Washburn field Wednesday after noon and the last practice before the Warrensburg game will be held today. The team will leave for Warrensburg to morrow morning and all the men who made the Nebraska trip will probably be In the Missouri invasion. The feature of Wednesday afternoon's practice was the appearance of ex-Captain Dean Rogers, the star of last sea son's squad, and Hardy, both of whom were out in uniforms and assisted Coach Gray in giving the men pointers on the game. Rogers played with the scrubs and showed that he still knows how to hit a line. Also, he instructed the line men m the fine points of their positions. Mr. Gray played quarter for the scrubs and the Ichabods were given fine practice at breaking up forward passes. Rogers and other past masters of the game who are available will be called upon to assist Mr. Gray In coaching the team from now on and "Crip" Is deter mined to develop his talent to the fullest extent by this means. Topeka friends of Pete Hell are rejoic ing over the fact that the great Utttle Kansas player Is holding his own on the Pittsburg university team and is showing up in his best form this year.

Hell was sent into the game and the team imme diately carried the ball down the field for 60 yards. Pete played in a part of last Saturday's game against the Navy and his playing was up to Heil standard. One reason that Pete is not playing in all the games this season is because Pittsburg has three complete sets of backftelds and these are switched back and forth intermittently. Pittsburg plays Carlisle Saturday. The following Is taken from the sport column of the Emporia Gazettet: "What is K. U. going .to do when it gets up against a team that Is really heavy, and that employs the forward pass Intelligent ly in Its attack? The University has many adherents around Emporia, and they are asking this question. If the College of Emporia, with a line that averages about 168, can hold the Jayhawkers long enough to get away with eleven forward passes, totaling a distance of fifteen yards great er than the length of the field, in one autumn afternoon, what ts going to hap pen when the Kansans run into real beef in the forward wall and speed and passes behind it? Answer It yourself, but keep your tears oft our shirt front." Alpha Brumage, a former K. U. grid iron hero and ex-captain of the Jayhawk er team, Is making quite a reputation for himself as coach of the Kentucky uni versity Wild Cats at Lexington. Brumage went to Kentucky last fall and put out a winning team, and his prospects this year are equally as bright despite the fact that Kentucky Is using the freshman rule for the first time this season. In the two games his Wild Cats have played they have made better than point-a-minl-ute scores. Their hardest game of the season will be played next Saturday against Mississippi A. and M. Brumage was also honored last season by being chosen Instructor In physical education at thi New York Chautauqua. Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 15. The Jayhawk ers scrimmaged against the Haskell In dians in drizzling ram Wednesday after noon in an effort to get into shape for the Drake game which will be played next Saturday at Des Moines. The gloom clouds -re hanging low in the Jayhawker camp and there -Is a fear that the contest against the Drake Bulldogs will be a dis astrous one. Wheaton has made an other change in his team. He has shifted "Buster" Coolidge to end in place of Heath. Gray, who tore holes In the Em poria team for the only touchdown, has been given Coolidge's halfback position. The move Is expected to strengthen the end of the line without materially weak ening the back field. In the practice Wednesday the Indiana used the forward pass several times but on account of the wet ball did not have much success with it.

In three games played already. Alma has scored 231 points while Wamego, Harvey ville, Alta Vista and the heavy Alma All Star have been held scoreless. Alma has another game scheduled with Wamego at Wamego, one with Manhattan at Manhat tan and the btg game with Eskrldge highs on Thanksgiving. The Alma man agement is trying to arrange a game with the Washburn freshmen, the team that defeated Topeka highs on Saturday. Rev. E. W. Day, pastor of the Alma M. E. church and a former fullback with Den ver university, is coaching the Alma boys. Granger's fast little Emporia eleven Is reported to be in bad shape for Friday's game with the Gallagher Bakerites. Four men, Wiedower, Hughes, Wallace and Russell, are on the disabled list as a re sult of last week's game with the K. 17. Jayhawkers. .The game will be played at Emporia. Another Friday game is South western vs. Fairmount at Wlnfield. WALLACE DtWlN writer and lyricist "Tuxedo b always Vtelcome. A pleasant smoke, a mental bracer the ideal tobacco."

Then he progresses to a discus sion of the relative wealth of Kansas and Colorado as shown by federal sta tistics, pointing out comparisons to Kansas' disadvantage. A reading of the article leaves the Kansas man con vinced that the editor of The Record has made a conscientious effort to fill j the assignment dealt "out to him by his employer, but that la ail. Assuming -the statistics offered to be correct, we learn that Colorado, with about half the., population, of Kansas (yes, Kansas seems to have drawn the population,, despite the ir resistible attractions of its sister state). pays $943,793.27; In revenue, to the federal government' where Kansas pays but $732,152.46. Let's see; it is correct, isn't it, that-some of this rev enue comes from government liquor licenses? Whatever the item is, Kan sas is saving it. Kansas learns with regret that she is behind Colorado in the per capita valuation of school property. In the average salaries bald to school teach ers and in the daily cost per child of education. Kansans will .blush in ac knowledging the bitter allegation that "Kansas is one huge grain field." The writer sweeps all the arguments put forth by WilUam Allen White and the other prohibition boosters into the trash heap with one sweep, as follows: "It is a waste of time to discuss the misleading statements and statistics employed in the article referred to. It is more profitable to consider things directly bearing on the result of pro hibition laws, which need no corrob orating evidence to establish." Let that assertion go double. It makes a first rate reply to The Rec ord's leader. If Kansas, after thirty years of pro hibition, wanted anything else, she would have It. If Kansas, which, with her one, huge rrrain field, can draw and hold twice the population of Col orado with its untold mineral re sources added to a tremendous agri cultural possibility, needed the licensed saloon to make life tolerable, she would have it. Thirty years ago Kansas, of her own free will, voted the saloon outlaw; nor has she ever seen sufficient reason to desire a change, Kansas must, if she persists in her headstrong course, get along without certain possessions. She will have no saloon keepers; she will need fewer federal license collectors; she will re quire fewer poorhouses and fewer undertakers; she must" do without the Individual who can not exist without a saloon that is licensed, and, thank goodness, she can do without publica tions like The Record. But Kansas has thought about these thins-s. and made her bed. In that '"bed she "Has 'lain1 these' thirty "yearst worried" considerably from" time to time by those elements of her popu lation which seek to evade the en forcement of the prohibitory law, but never controlled by them. And as for the Individuals who do break the pro hibitory law, it may be true as a phil osopher once pointed out: "A certain amount of fleas 1b good for a dog." And while the brilliant editor of the Denver booze-boosting publication views with alarm the lost opportuni ties of Kansas, lost by reason of the fact that Kansas has no saloons, dis gusted Kansans who have journeyed to the mile-high city in search of busi ness and recreation return to the "one vast grainfield," yclept Kansas, and bring thence certain reports,, towit:' That Denver is about the deadest in corporated place they have seen in their travels. This condlton does not seem reasonable, considering the ar gument of the Record. Denver, hav ing licensed saloons, should be blos soming like a rose, and full to over flowing with money and business. ALBERT OF BELGIUM. Of all the heroes of this enormous war who will live in the memory of man, one of the purest, one who can never be loved enough, writes Maurice Maeterlinck from Paris, is the king of my little country. At the decisive hour he was the heaven-sent man to whom we call his people. In a single moment he revealed what Belgium was to the world. He had I the admirable fortune to act decisively and history would have lost one of its beautiful and noble pages. Assuredly Belgium .would have been loyal to her word and a government which hesitated would have been pitilessly swept away by the indignation of the people, who have never been treacherous but there would inevitably have been some vacil lation and confusion in the general up heaval. The king's heroic line of action is straight clear, and magnificent, like that of Thermopylae indefinitely ex tended; but what he has suffered and suffers every day can only be told by those who have had the happiness to approach this hero the most sensitive and mildest of men,- discreet, silent, of delicious timidity, who loves his people no less than a father loves his children. than a son loves the mother who adores him. Of all that dear kingdom, his pride and Joy, his house of happiness, there remain only a few towns intact and threatened by the vilest invader the world has even seen. All his other towns, so beautiful, smiling, tranquil, so happy, living inoffensively, jewels of the crown of peace, models of upright famly existence, haunts of loyal activ ity and cordial welcoming, open handed bonhommie all these are dead. Stone no longer rests on stene. The country-: side, even to its tender verdure, one of the most beautiful in the world. Is only a field of horror. Treasures have perished -which were and hunger, but what survives has only one soul, reposing In the great soul of Its king not a murmur, not a re proach. Yesterday a town of SO. 000 Inhabitants was ordered to quit the white houses of the churches and secular homes. Thirty thousand inhabitants, women. children and old men plunged Into the night to seek uncertain refuge In a neighboring city which was almost equally threatened and would probably itself be emptied the next day. They obeyed, silently, all approving and bless ing their sovereign. He had done what was necessary to do, what everyone would have done in his place and while everyone suffers as no other people have suffered since the ferocious in- vasions of the first centuries, they know he suffers more than all of them. They do not even think any other course could have been taken; that they could have been saved by sacrificing their honor. They do not separate duty from destiny; their duty with all its frightful consequences seemed to them an inevitable, an invincible natural force against which it was" useless to struggle. They have thus given an ex ample of collective and almost uncon scious heroism which equals and some times surpasses the finest things in legend and history since the days of the martyrs. People never died so simply for such a simple idea. In no time has a people so sacrificed its life with such ardor, abnegation and enthusiasm. Immortal virtues, which have hitherto raised and protected the outposts of humanity, never showed so powerful and brilliant. Why worry about making your money go a long way? Most of it goes so far that it never comes back, anyhow. The wording, "Ten to One," on a physician's office door does not nec essarily indicate your chances of re covery in his hands, although with some doctors they might.

Madge Lester had won her crown of laurels with comnarativa ease. From a slip of a country girl, playing in amateur theatricals, she had ascended to the heights of dramatic art. -Not only had she won the hearts of tne American people, but London, too, had fallen, a ready victim, to her charm. Yet. Madge was still the wholesome, big-souled girl of the. country. When Sir John Giltroy Was present ed to her at the home of Lord Dan vers. tit whose home a house party was given in her honor, he knew that tne one woman naa eniereo' nm iuc 1 n.. 1 ..i. .no.-! alii uu0anu0,ui now ouuucu muu vm pelting. so-great was tne navoc wrought that his male friends raUied.;"1': him that evening: in the smoke room, but Sir John only accepted the banter with his slow, easy smile. During the fortnight following he courted Madge with British determina tion. There was no outward demon stration of his purpose to win her for his own, yet there -was not a soul among the jolly house, party .that failed to read Sir John's eyes when they rest ed on Madge. Before accepting Lord Danver s In vitation Madge had asked the privilege of solitude for an hour or two a day,iur that she might study up her part for the forthcoming production of her new play. i "You see I am a slave to my dear public even when on a holiday," she had told her host. "I must work when you are all shooting grouse and land ing salmon." Thus it happened that there were many moments of the day when Sirwas a brilliant pupil and one of the John Giltroy was not happy.

But there were still several have been that cold reason told her that in escaping Sir John she was for tifying her heart against the attack? She knew by he look in his eyes that he would ask her to marry him before returning ta the city. Even so, Madge found it difficult to withstand his pleading when he poured forth his love for her with an ardor that only a deeply affected man possesses. She had not dreamed that a reserved, easy-gc ing Britisher could fall so completely and so gloriously In love. It quite tock her breath away and left her weaker than she had an ticipated. "You know so little.- of me," she said, when fina' y her heart quieted Its beating. "I am deeply honored by your love, but I feel that our paths are so different; they are so widely separated that it would be difficult to get the besth out of life under those conditions." Without knowing It, Madge swayed slightly toward him. His arms went swiftly about her and his lips cov ered her own before she could stir. "I will give you another fortnight to think it over," he said, making an effort to speak with control while his breath was coming jerkily. "You will know then i- you love me." He let her go then, and Madge went ouickly to her room. Her cheeks were b ilem amrlet nri her wonderful eves fhi wonoerrui eyes were shining. "I will r- have to wait a fortnight: to find out whether or not I love him," she told herself, and daughed weakly as she compared her emo tions now with her emotionless re ceptions of stage lovers. Madge did not. however, deceive herself into the belief that she would marry Sir John Giltroy. Her dreams of a life in the country and away from all cares of social activity were too deeply rooted in her being. Her lau rel wreath and her standing in society were as naght when compared to the old sunbonnet days of her youth. Having returned to her apartment in town Madge became entirely occu pied with her. new production.- She had decided when she first saw her Dart that the little trunk full of I clothes with which she had come to Broadway from the country would costume the role as no other clothes, would. The trunk was always with her. It was the closest link with the past and a treasured possession. When Madge opened it to look over its contents she had not realized that a tumult of emotion would sweep over her. The longing to get back to the old farm brought tears to her eyes, and when she picked up the old pink sunbonnet that had clung to her curly head through rain and through shine Madge -wept softly Into its faded depths. "No, no!", she told herself ve hemently. "I could not marry a titled personage and tie myself down to con ventional city life." She gazed fondly at her ginghams and quaint little frilled petticoats and her Sunday hat with the pond lilies on It. They were admirably suited to her part in the new play and Madge decided that if the play was a success she woo Id play her season in London and a farewell in New York, then retire from- the 8h pulled down her masses ef auburn hair, dressed it in ringlets, put the pink sunbonnet. oa and' her Sun day aingham and viewed herself In the mirror.

Assuredly she bad gone hack to nature and she drew In a deep breath in imagination scenting the ap ple blossoms. v So engrossed was she that she had not heard the bell ring nor did she know that her maid had admited Sir John Giltroy. She turned suddenly and looked Into his laughing eyes. He took both of her hands in his own and sur veyed her from head to foot, "Well, if I had known you when you were a wee girl like that you would never have been crowned by theatrical laurels and I would never have been a baronet. I would have married you and kept you out on the farm with me." "You not a baronet? How could you help It?" Madge questioned the while she realized that she must give this man his way whether that way led through town mansions or coun- try lanes. I won my title," he said, simply. "It is a degree of honor and not hereditary. At heart I long for the vastness of country, life. I am a farmer by birth and a baronet by en deavor.". He drew Madge nearer to him -and looked fondly beneath the sunbonnet. I have come for my he said. jiMr answer, aear, My answer," whispered Madge Is yes."

The religion of people who try to be good because if they are they expect to be rewarded by pleasures In Heaven ways seemed a rather doubtful quantity to me. And somewhat similar to It Is the good conduct of those who expect to be paid in praise and gratitude for being generous or even for doing what is just and right. An acquaintance of mine graduated from a. school of music last vpar She ready to do anything and everything he wants from coming at most incon venient times to help him with his classes, to using your influence to place anyone he happens to fancy." I think We all know people alike that, and after a lesson or two we all learn to avoid their favors. People who will try to do their best just so long as you keep them constant ly stimulated with praise are another species of this genus. I once had a helper who had been doing poor work and after a serious talk promised to do Important points in which I was not satisfied and I finally had to speak of them. Whereupon she promptly be came cross and sulky and said it was no use trying to please me. Just be cause I had temporarily removed the stimulous of praise! y We all need a little praise and grati tude now and then to keep us going. But to crave that stimulus all the time and to be useless without it is just as much a weakness as depending upon any kind of stimulus. BY THE FOX IX D THE CAT. Once upon a time a cat was walk ing through a forest when he met a fox. "My good friend," said the fox, "you have a very handsome coat, but vour tail is not anywhere near as handsome as mine. Come with me d 1 wlll Bnow you how to make It grow. YOU CO AHCAD So the cat went along with the fox to his den, for he very much admired the tail of the fox and thought it would ma'-e all the cats jealous when they saw his bushy tail. "The first thing you must do," said the fox, when they arrived at his home, "is to build the fire and cook the supper. Exercise is the best thing to make yoar tail grow bushy." So the cat cooked the supper and when it was ready he sat down at the table to eat with the fox. "And another very necessary thing to be dons." said the fcx. "is to diet. You should eat very little and noth ing but green stuff. You better go out and eat some srass and then drink some water. ou will find a creek back of the rock by the door." j Kanscs (2crnxirJ j MORS WATCHFUL WAmNO.

ETHICAL. No lover of civilisation can fail to rejoice at the high ethical tone of modern warfare the kindly consider ation that the warrior has for the feelings of his enemy. In olden times the brazen trumpet struck fear to the heart of the victim of carnage and caused him to writhe In suspense as he contemplated the hour when he n.utt meet his foe on the field of conflict. The whole scheme of warfare was designed with a view to prolonging those miserable moments of waltlrg for a chance to fight for one's life. Nowadays we si lently sail above our enemy, drop ping sweet DOmDs tnat painlessly anni hilate him and his companions. We quietly slip up under his ships and send a thousand of his brothers into eternity without giving them a single tremor for their safety. Without causing a momrnt uneaslaess in a single heart, we mine a field and blow a brigade to atoms. Horror and fear- have been driven from warfare, painless and sudden eternity is the boon that science has conferred upon us. The modern war rior armed with ethical ideals, sends out these words of comfort: "Make your peace with Gcd, and fear not, for I will kill you unaware." Manhattan Industrialist. PRICE CHANGES OF A CENTURY A subscriber to the Weekly Blade, living in Pennsylvania, has sent us an account of a daybook kept in 1814 by one of his forebears, the keeper of a general store in Amity township, Berks county. From this daybook one catches a glimpse not only of what 100 years ago it cost the Pennsylvania citizen to live, but also a glimpse of how he lived. For Instance, "with nearly every bljl of goods charged would be attached one gallon of whis ky, rum or brandy, price 25 cents." Homes were lighted with candles, "costing anywhere from 37 cents to 87 cents a pound. "Calico was 37 Va cents to 75 cents per yard. "Tea was 31 a 'pound.' "In one charge a man bought- -one' quarter of veal at 4 cents a pound. '"Eggs were never more than 10 cents per dozen, with 3 to 8 cents the commoner prices. "Chickens, 12 c to 18 cents apice: "Chickens, 12 He to 18 cents apiece; "Beef, 3 to 4 cents; wool, 10 cents to 12 cents per pound; muslin, 50 cents per yard. "The climax was reached In one charge one bushel of salt, 313." We seem to have boxed the com pass in the matter of the costs of liv ing. One hundred years ago It was manufactured goods and commodities against which transportation costs were charged which were high, food that was cheap. Today factory pro ducts are cheap, food dear. We won der if things will ever be. so comfort ably arranged that food and manu factured goods and commodities from far distances will all be cheap From The Toledo Blade. MliS. rJLWALKER The cat did not like this part of the bargain very well, but he did want the bushy tail, so he went, but he was ao hungry the next morning that he could hardly wait for breakfast time. "You can cook those chickens for breakfast," said the fox, "and then you can go "t and ctch a bird or two, but you must be back in time for diner, as you must not lose an op portunity to exercise." The cat did not need t. be told a second time that he could eat, and off he ran. After a few days of cooking for the fox and waiting on him the cat began to ask about his tail. "When will it begin to grow?" he asked. "Oh. you will have to be patient," said the fox. "You- canont expect to have a tail like mine jrrow in such a short time. Tonight you better come with me and help bring home a fat goose and a hen: that will give you a little more exercise." So that night fae cat went along with the fox, and when they came to the barnyard t'.ie fox said, "You ti ahead; the hens will not notice you then I can come in and pull them off their roost w'thout any trouble."

He timidly suggests that if Mr. Capper has real deep rooted convictions against the assessment plan, he might send him a check for the contribution of two years ago. Recently several lady stenographers in the state house made voluntary con tributions to the Democratic cam Dai en fund. This fact, it seems, has occasioned Arthur Capper to send to the voters his convictions against the immoral practice of receiving cam paign contributions from the stenog raphers and sundry appointees. Leahy, who is now publishing the El Dorado Republican, received a copy of Cap per's letter. "If we had not been a state em ployee ourselves two years ago. when Mr. Capper was the candidate of 'our bunch' for governor," remarks Leahy in an editorial, "and if we hadn't been called upon for two and one-half per cent of our annual salary for the cam paign fund, this protest of Mr. Capper might arouse our indignation against Mr. Hodges.

We re member distinctly that the girl stenog raphers were also taxed for the cam paign of two years ago when Mr. Cap per was running. And we have reason to remember it distinctly for one of these same girl stenographers came to our desk one day in tears and dis tress to tell us how Earl Akers, the present state treasurer and a candidate for re-election on Mr. Capper's ticket. came to her and told her in a rather uncivil sort of way that if she didn't put up she ought to resign her job. "The poor girl had been sick nearly all summer with nervous trouble and had to go away at great expense. She did not refuse to pay her assessment, nor did she consider it unfair. She simply had no money at the time and was in debt for doctor's bills and other incidentals of sickness. To be Just to Mr. Akers. he told in when we called his attention to the matter, that he didn't intend to be rude to her at all. "To add to her grief, Mr. Gafford, the present campaign manager for Mr. Capper, went around to her office in a few days and rather curtly, as she said, told her that they did not want anything from her. This she accepted as a hint that she might look for an other place after the election which, on account of her health and the necessity for employment for support, distressed her still more. After relating this bit of history of the campaign of two years ago when the assessment plan was enforced against all officials and employees, Leahy concludes: "If Mr. Capper has any really burd ening scruples about the assessment of administration employees for campaign purposes, we will welcome from him a check to cover the amount we put up when he was running two years ago.

Specialist Explains Cause of Stomach Trouble Valuable Advice to Sufferers. "There are many different forms .f stomach trouble." said a well-know specialist recently, "but practicallv all are traceable to excessive acidity and food fermentation. That is why the re sults obtained from the use of drugs are usually so disappointing. Admitting fer mentation and consequent aciditv of the food contents to be the underlying cause oi most iorcns oi indigestion. It naturally follows that the use of a reliable ant acid, such, as the pure bisurated mag nesia which is so frequently prescribed by physicians, will produce better results than any known drug or combination of drugs. Accordingly I almost invariably advise those who complain of digestive trouble to get some bisuratc magnesia (note the name carefully, as other forms are unsuitable for this purpose.) from their druggist, and take from one. to two teaspoon fu Is of the powder, or two 5 grain compressed tablets, with a little water after meals. This by immediately neutralizing the acid and stopping the fermentation, removes the cause of ail the 1 trouble and insures normal and healthy digestton."

Only Three Came From Good Homes. i7-rz:d detjtkeze The Vegetable Is 39 Inches In Length. Honeywell Revival Campaign Is Successful. The yearly report of the Boys Indus trial school which will be issued soon by H. W. Charles, superintendent con tains interesting facts in regard to the commitment of boys to the school, and the social evil. Only three boys out of the one hun dred and sixty seven committed during the fiscal year,' came from what the courts called good homes. A good home Is one in which the a hoy has every chance to do right where the parents are Christian people and educated. Twenty-five came from what the courts Judge fair homes, homes where the boy had a fair chance for an education and environment towards doing right One hundred and thirty-nine came from what the courts judged as poor homes, places that the average person would Shudder to go into, where the parents were drunkards, and not fit compan ions for a child of any age. One hundred and nine boys were pro fane. These boys could swear before they knew their A, B, Cs. Thirty-four drank intoxicating liquor. Twenty-four came from divorced parents, and twelve played truant. Dr. Charles' report also shows that only three boys were committed from rural districts. Many Used Tobacco. King "Nicotine" had confirmed one hundred and six boys out of the one hundred and sixty-seven committed, to the use of tobacco. These youthful citi zens could roll a cigarette (or "pill" as they call it) as quickly as any grown up. During the year more boys were com mitted for stealing than any other crime. The number- being eighty-one. Delinquency ranks second, this having caused fifty-four boys to be committed. Burglary and larceny comes third, with ten boys committed, .and all white. The boys at the State Industrial school are between -the, ages of 9 and 16 years. They are kept in the institution until paroled for good behavior, or until they reach the age of 21. It at this time there is still need, for their confine ment in a state institution, they are transferred to the state reformatory at Hutchinson.

ITearlj Impossible to Vote If a Person Cannot Read. FEVER STRAIGHT TICKETS K0.7 Toter Mast Place Cross After Each Name on List. Explanation of Plan of Ballots on November S. The general election tc be held No vember 3 will be the first in the his tory of the state in which a person who can not read will not be able to vote with any Cegree of success. He will be given a ballot and an opportunity to mark his choice of candidates and to deposit his ballot in the ballot box, but unless he can read., he wOl .nptknow .what candidates he has voted for. The Massachusetts ballot system, adopted by the state of Kansas, will be used for the first time November 8. Previous to the adoption of the present law. persons who "could hot read were allowed instruction in marking their ballots. To make matters still plainer I there was a circle at the top of each party's candidates where a mark could he placed and the vote counted for all persons whose names were on that ticket. But the new ballots, proofs of which are now being corrected by Oscar Swayze, county clerk, contain no such circle. Nor is there any way to vote a "straixht" ticket other than by reading j the names of all the candidates and making a cross after the name or eacn t candidate of any one party. Heretofore candidates names were printed on tne I ballot under captions, "Republican," "Democratic," "Socialist," or the name of whatever party a candidate be- f longed to. The new ballots do not segregate the i names according to party. Instead the candidates for the various offices are 1 grouped according to the offices for. I which they are running and the only party designation of the candidates are party abbrevations appearing after each j name. "Rep." stands after the names of Republican candidates, and "Dera." i after Democratic candidates. That no candidate may receive favored positions on the ballot, positions are "rotated" I for different precincts. Politicians believe that the new bal lots, doing away with "party tickets" i very materially decrease the advantage a candidate has in appearing as the candidate of a dominant party, for no longer can a voter do his voting on a wholesale scale by casting his ballot for all of any one group of candidates I with one mark of his pencil. Now he I must give his undivided attention to tchoosinsr between all the candidates for each office.

The right wing of the allies is now beginning to show signs of activity. According to reports reach ing Paris this morning there was yes terday an almost continuous firing of heavy artillery along the frontier. A force of. Germans delivered a spir ited attack on French troops in. which numbers were wounded. As night closed the force of the enemy was driven back in the direction of Muelhausen. Lieut. Col.

He is wen aware mat it is auii cult to reconcile the legitimate curios ity of the public with the safeguarding of national interests but when these interests are not at stake more liber ality could be shown. The French peo ple have given evidence of dignity, firmness, and patriotism, and they should be- taken more into the confi dence of the government. In conclud ing hi3 article, the critic points out several Instances in which, in his opin ion, the official communications have been lacking. The Hotel de Vllle, (town hall) or Ar v nit twnn nan; or Ar- ras which was burned down after the bombardment of that place, was a building of Gothic style. It was erected in the beginning of the sixteenth cen tury and was one of the finest types of this style of architecture in northern France. CASE FALLS FLAT. tContinued from page One. son. county attorney, then offered to reopen the case for the state. Judge Garver ruled that as the proceeding was a preliminary hearing, and not a trial, that such could be done. The hour of twelve had already been reached and adjournment, was taken until 2 o'clock this afternoon. Clash Between lawyers. Karly in the proceedings: there was a spirited brush between Ensminger and W. E. Atchison while a witness was being examined. Ensminger complained that Atchi son was interfering with a witness while the witness was answering ques tions. Ensminger's objection was sharp and Atchison retorted that he saw no reason why Judge Ensminger should insult him. Ensminger de clared that no insult had been given. Theodore Hammatt was the first witness. He seemed troubled with stage fright. He told of having re ceived the letters as published in the State Journal. His testimony was in teresting in that it gave new informa .tions as to the persons responsible for the importation of West, the Kansas City detective from the Thiel Detec tive agency, who "spilled the beans" by firing his revolver when he saw a flashlight on a culvert on the Topeka avenue road on the night of Septem ber 23.

Bone, city commis sioner of finance, engaged the de tective over long-distance telephone, after Hammatt had conferred with him and Mayor Cofran, who was the first city official with whom he con ferred about the letters. He said the entire matter was managed by Chief of Police Ross, Mayor It. L. Cofran, City Detective Charles Lytle, and Commissioner Roy L. Bone. Hammatt spoke highly of Collins' character and services while in his employ at the Crosby Roller mills. He said Collins had worked for him twelve years ending March 2, 1912, and had proven unusually efficient and trustworthy and that at the time of leaving his company, he had writ ten a letter of recommendation. This letter was introduced in evidence. Hammatt said he had no personal knowledge of Collins being in any way connected with the attempted black mail. Hired a Motorcycle. W. E. Tucker, 1219 North Topeka ave nue, connected with the J. C. Harding company, motorcycle dealers, was intro duced as a witness by the state but started off badly and when he testified that he believed Collins had engaged a motorcycle after, and not before, the affair on the Topeka avenue road, he was sent to get his books. Later he was placed on the stand and testified that Collins had come to his place several days before the flashlight j pisoue ana naa torn nim nis father had met with an in jury making it Impossible for him to ride a bicycle and that he-wished to take a motorcycle and let his father see whether he could ride it, and that if his father could use It, he might buy it.

Jesse Baughman told of Collins leaving the machine at his place. He was not able to determine the time of the -evening with much certainty, but thought the time about 9 o'clock. Collins does not deny having left the machine there. Geraldine MeKimmey, bookkeeper for the Harding company, testified that Collins telephoned to her the day after the attempted holdup that he had left the motorcycle at Baughman's and could not go after it because he was going to Kansas City. On cross examination she insisted that Collins said Kansas City and not out of the city," nor Emporia Instead of Kansas City. Collins was arrested In Em poria. Tucker said that although Col lins had talked about buying the ma chine and had taken it for trial, that he had never returned to discuss buy ing it, Mrs. Hugh McGrath. 1312 Karisas avenue, told of having been in the automobile belonging to Frank Camp bell. Besides herself were Mr. and Mrs. Campbell and Mr. McGrath and a little girl. She refused to say positively that Col lins was the man who stopped the car by waving a white hankerchief. and who rode on the running board to the Allenhurst farm. She said she was quite positive he was the man; but would not swear positively. Hugh McGrath's tes timony was much the same. Frank Campbell, however, "did not have any doubt about it. All three testified that the man stood in the light from the car and they had a good view of him. "I think he Is the same man, I think there is no possible chance of being mistaken," testified Campbell. Mitchell Bundv. taller at th Jail, stated he was in a car with Chief Ross and Detective Lytle and told of a car passing theirs with a man riding on the foot board.

I Here is Good News For Stomach Victims Some very remarkable results are being obtained by treating stomach, liver and intestinal troubles with pure vegetable oils, which exert a cleansing, soothing and purifying action upon the lower bowels, removing the obstruc tions of poisonous' fecal matter and gases and preventing their absorption by the blood. This done, the food is allowed free passage from the stom ach, fermentation ceases and stomach troubles quickly disappear. George II. Mayr, for twenty years a leading Chicago druggist, cured -himself and many of his friends of stom ach, liver and intestinal troubles of years' standing by this treatment, and so successful was the remedy he de vised that it has since been placed in the hands of druggists all over the country, who have sold thousands of bottles. Though absolutely harmless, the ef fect of the medicine is sufficient to convince any one of its remarkable ef fectiveness, and within 24 hours the sufferer feels like a new person. Mayr's Wonderful Stomach remedy is now sold here by Arnold .Drug Co., 523 Kansas avenue.

Boston, Oct. 15. The Braves, world's baseball champions, as a result of the sensational series with the Philadel phia Athletics which closed here Tues day, were given a banquet and recep tion Wednesday night by Mayor Curley. Praise for their achievement wu sounded by various speakers and mod est acknowledgmet was made by Mana- ,ger George T. stallings and several or the players. I After the banquet many of the Braves left immediately for their home i cities. They were each given checks i for $2,708.86. by a representative of the national commission as their share in the World's series receipts. To most of them, this meant about $5,000 for their season's work. Captain Johnny Kvers found the sea son a big one financially, his income the past six months having been more than $40,000, including a bonus of $25,000 for his signature to a contract; $10,000 in salary; a $3,000 bonus for finishing in first place and his world's series re ceipts. The winter will be spent quietly by most of them. Several vaudeville agents were at Fenway park endeavoring to sign up some of the stars, but it is understood that none were successful. "Rabbit" Maranvllle, who was on the stage last winter, may return this year. Manager 8talltngs said that the state ment by Minister Pezet of Peru, made at a dinner here Tuesday that the Braves would tour South America, was a mistake. It was due, he thought, to the fact that some members of the Braves had been asked to play with the New York Giants on a proposed trip there. OIlMfiliALTRIP.

Makes Face Young Tightens Love Ties A fretful expression, a wrinkled face and a faded complexion, do more to drive the male members from home than is com monly supposed.' It was one of my great est difficulties to appear smiling, fresh and elegant when my dear ones were with me. But I have overcome all that. I have changed my mental attitude and I now find it second nature to look cheerful. Due partly to this, partly to a remarkable treatment recommended by m friend, my appearance has so improved I look fif- j teen years younger than before. I A simple face lotion made by dissolving i an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel, proved a wonderful wrinkle-chaser. S still use this occasion-. ally. To renovate my complexion I pur chased an ounce of ordinary mereolised wax at my druggist's and before usins this up; a marveious transformation had taken place. It was lke removing an un sightly mask, revealing- a new face, a youthful complexion of distinctive deli cacy, clear, white and velvety. I merely applied the wax like cold cream before retiring, washing it off mornings. Ten days' treatment sufficed. "Aurilla." In Clubwoman.

MUSIC O THE DRAMA LISTED Enrollment Is 1,380 or 100 More Than Last Year. Election of Class Officers Gift From the Seniors. An enthusiastic dramatic club has been organized at the high school under Miss Aura Bradford, instructor in music and expression, with a membership of fifty-five students. There is talk of presenting one or two operas this sea son, aside from one or more plays. It is probable that the membership in the club will be increased. The high school orchestra under Carl ton Wood will be organized Friday af ternoon at three o'clock in room No. 305. Practice work every Tuesday af ternoon at three o'clock. Last year under the direction of Mr. Wood the school had the best orchestra in its history. There are plans for the forma tion of a glee club under the leadership of Sherrill B. Smith, instructor in Ger man and Ens'lh. Election of Officers. Now is the time for the election of class officers. In fact the senior and sub-senior classes have both named their officials. The Juniors met at 3 o'clock this af ternoon to elect. The sub-Juniors will meet at the same time Friday after noon. The sophomores will get to gether Monday afternoon and the sub sophs Tuesday. Following are the officers of the senior class: President. Paul Bush; vice president, Mildred Morrison; sec retary, Mary Holl; treasurer, Jesse Bddy, sergeant-at-arms, Francis Swan sen; manager senior play, George Net tles: manager annual. Clay Baker; editor annual, Pterra Beggs; assistant editor annual. Merle Rucker. Sub-senior officers: President, Har ry Welty; vice president, Lucile Ro sen: secretary, Christina Ward; treas urer, Fred Worley; sergeant-at-arms, Fred Dodge. The meetings for elec tion of officers .are being held in room No. 310. Increase in Enrollment. The present enrollment of the high school is 1,380, which is approximate-' ly one hundred in advance of that of last year at this time. When A. J. Stout, principal of the school, started in as an instructor in the institution in 1899, the enrollment was less than. 600. By the end of the present year it will be more than 1,500. At that time there were sixteen persons on the teaching staff; today there are fifty one. Aside from Principal Stout there are but three persons on the present force that were on the staff in 1899. Ten of the present teachers were students! in the high school in 1899 or subse quent to that year. f Gift of a Class. The gift of the class of "June '14" will be a curtain for the stage in the big assembly room in the addition to the high school building which is Ex pected to be in use the second semes ter. If the money left by the class is not sufficient to pay the bill the board of education will make up the differ ence and take no credit for It. The gifts of previous classes have been carefully stored away and will. be in evidence when the assembly room is ready for use. When the ad dition is finished there will be a half dozen class rooms for use, and a "gym" that will be divided by a par tition one side for the boys and the other for the s-'S- Arrangements have been made whereby students in music under pri vate teachers will be given credit by the high school authorities for work d'.ne provided they take an examina tion and that the work has been done under a teacher holding a certificate or diploma issued by the Kansas State Music Teachers' association or an accredited school of music.

VON COEIIH FAILS His Effort to Block the Retreat' of the Allies To the Southward Has Been Completely Evaded. (By J. W; T. Mason.) New York, Oct. 15. General Von Boehm has failed to block the retreat to the south of the allied forces who have been resting at Ostend. The French victory Tpres shows the way is clear at present for the escape of the sorely fatigued Belgian army and its Britsh reinforcements. Ypres is 25 miles Bouth of Ostend and commands the Junction of three of the four main highways that run from Ostend south to the French military lines. The retention of Ypres by the French is threatening to the southern flank of Von Bezler's army which is marching across Belgium with the object of driv ing the Anglo-Belgan forces into the sea. If the French can strike from Ypres toward the Sys river, which Von Bezler is using to protect his left wing, he will be forced to retreat or have his flank turned. A series of other similar counter strokes is threatened by both sides throughout the battle area in western Belgium and northern France. From the give and take which is occurring the rival strength appears to be about equal. Each of the contestants has divided forces. Von Bezler's victorious army from Antwerp has not united with Von Boehm's force to the south and the allied army that retreated from Antwerp has not, as far as is known, yet Joined the rescuing French troops. Allies Need Rest. The union of the Anglo-Belgian forces with the French at Ypres might permit a sudden attack in overwhelming num bers against either of the two German comands. There is every indication that the defense of Antwerp and the rapid retreat toward the North sea, have put the Anglo-Belgian army in urgent need of rest for recuperation. There undoubtedly is a reserve of de fensive strength left, but the spirit necessary for a determined offensive movement must wait for recovery from the fatigue of the nearly a fortnight in cessant fighting. The march of the Germans to the sea,. will l .wA 1 1 a win ive kiciu uu niiin.tt.iy auvaauige 11. the retreating allies escape. At most, from a strategic standpoint, the gain will be a forced change of one of the British supply bases on the northern Freneh coast. There can be no threat against England by a German occupa tion of any of the North sea or channel ports. As long as the British navy commands .-the sea,, no German trans ports could be assembled anywhere along the Belgian or French coast for an invasion of England, while seaport Zeppelin stations would be subject to destruction by the allies' warships. Permanent occupation of the French and Belgian coast towns will seriously lengthen and thus weaken the German battle line, unless it coincides with a re tirement from the present southern position near the Aisne. Diplomatic reasons may demand this change in strategy. If German statesmen can enter a peace conference with their troops holding French or Belgian ports, more advantageous terms might be ob tained than if French interior towns were held. In the first case, England as well as France would be vitally con cerned; in the second, only France. Germans Are In Bruges. ltnilnn.
