DUMBA IS NOT SURPRISED Action of State Department "Anticipated." .Washington Firm But Seeks to Avoid Schism. Washington, Sept. 10. The United States is not far removed from a break with Austria-Hungary because of its demand that Ambassador Dumba be recalled to Vienna. News of Austria-Hungary's reception of the American notej requesting ine recall ox Ainoas sador Dumba eagerly was await ed, here today in government and diplomatic circles. Lansing Asks ltecall. The recall of the envoy was asked for in a communication from Secretary I.an?ing. which Ambassador Penfieid at Vienna was to deliver immediately to the Austrian foreign minister. Am bassador Penfieid, it was believed, could have effected delivery of the note by today. When a response wou'd be reached and the form it woul-i take was a matter of speculation. It was suggested in some quarters that it would not be necessary for Austria Hungary to make a formal reply, but It was assumed that under the circum stances an official response besides definite action would be forthcom ing. Diplomats in touch with the Vienna embassy here thought today there was little doubt that Dr. Dumba immedi ately would be recalled. It was sug gested that Baron von Zwiedinek, counsellor of the embassy, would be made charge d'affaires to remain un til the close of the war. I'Yiendly Relations Kndangcred. In ordinary times the failure of a government to send a successor to an ambassador who had been recalled would indicate its displeasure over the request. In this case, however, it was pointed out that difficulties over sending a new envoy made a distinct difference. Despite belief expressed in some cir cles that Vienna would not hesitate to comply with Secretary Lansing's request, it was admitted that a situa tion might arise which would have a ferious effect on the relations between i i l ii f a i the two governments. The text of the I r.ote was held clearly to indicate Washington's desire to have Dr. tiirnha recalled without stirring up p dij iomatic issue. It was pointed iif.. however, that if the Vienna foreign office should determine to uphold the ambassador, severance of diplomats relations probably would result. Such rfpvplnnmpnt pvrn if r Hi.l not follow, would seriously affect America's role of diplomacy repre sentative for Austria-Hungary and other European belligerents. One of Manv Sensationr.

Letter Seized at Falmouth Be littles U. S. Officials. VON NU3ER IS IN BAD, TOO i Austrian in Calal With Editor of Foreign Language Paper. General Sweep of Germanic Representatives Possible. Washington, Sept. 10. Presi dent Wilson's request to Austria to recall her ambassador, Dr. Constantin Theodor Dumba, has brought about a situation which contains possibilities of extend ing to other diplomats of the Germanic allies. Dr. Dumba used James F. J. Archibald, an American bearing an American passport, as a mes senger to carry a communication to the Vienna foreign office. Although it has not been called officially to the attention of this government, the state depart ment understands unofficially that Archibald also carried a communication for Captain Von Papen, military attache of the German embassy. Abuse of American Passport. Secretary Lansing said today that th i American government considers the sending of any communication in the manner which Dr. Dumba used an abuse of American passport. While all officials refuted to discuss the situation further, it is known that the activities of Consul General Von Nuber of Austria, as well as those of Count Von Bernstorff. the German ambassador, are again being reviewed by the state department Captain Von Papen's letter, which was a private communication to his wife, is now on its wav to the state department from London Officials j said, ihe fact that it was a private and not an official communication did not alter the case any It is under stood the writer made flighting refer ences to American officials Von Nnbcr Is Involved.

WORK 600 MEN Santa Fe Pushing Repair Work on Freight Cars in Topefca. Cattle Movements Necessitate Preparedness by Railroad. The Santa Fe. railway is employing 2,600- men on good time in the biff shops in Topeka this month. Ten hours a day have been assigned to the employees in the freight car shops where the road is putting forth every effort to turn out cars for the cattle movements this month. In the passenger car shops the em ployees are working eight hours a day. In the locomotive shops the men arj siven nine hours. This average of nine hours In the entire shops is good time for this time of the year. It is believed that business will pick up wonderfully this fall. Motive power, freight and passenger equip ment will be constantly in demand and the effect will increase the payroll in Topeka. Instead of adding more men to the shop force, mechanical officials of the road stated today that extra hours would be added to the working time. MIDSUMMER WEATHER The Mercury Stood at 74 at 2 O'clock This Morning. The temperature continues above normal at Topeka, and the entire state reports nearly midsummer weather. The lowest temperature in the past twenty-four hours was 70 degrees at 6 o'clock. At 2 o'clock this morning the thermometer registered 74 de grees, which was higher than at any time yesterday. The forecast cvtlis for partly cloudy weather with lower temperatures tonight and Saturday. No rain has fallen in Kansas in the past twenty-four hours except at Se dan, where a precipitation of .30 of an inch was reported. The sky was part ly cloudy over Kansas at 7 o'clock this morning. The Kaw river is still fall ing, having reached a stage of 7.8 feet. This in .2 of a foot lower than at the same time Thursday morning. The wind has veered around to the south and blew all day at the rate of ten miles an hour The unusual amount of moisture in the air today made the temperature seem much higher than it really was The average was 8 degrees above nor mal for this date. The highest tem perature today has not been equaled since Tuesday.

S. Steel Corpora tion Case Filed Today. Trenton. X. J.. Sept. 10. The final decree in the suit of the federal gov ernment against the United States steel corporation was filed in the dis trict court of New Jersey today. Judge Buffington filed the decree person ally. The document was brief, merely stating that the-suit had been filed, tried and decided and that it should be dismissed. It was signed by the four judges who tried the case Buf fington, McPherson. Woolley and Hunt. The decision in the case was hand ed down on June 3. The government has already announced it would tak-j an appeal to the United States su preme court. Sixty Days to Appeal. Washington. Sept. 10.- The govern ment has sixty days in which to ap peal the steel suit' to the supreme court. It probably would not come up for argument before next spring. WELCOME HERE. iliill CUT LIVING GOST Kansas Doesn't Want to Fall Into Expensive Ways. State Board of Health Will Conduct a Campaign. With the lgh cost living being rapidly increased fn Europe by the war, the state board of health plans to conduct an educational- campaign this fall to teach Kansans cost cutting methods. One of the primary principles which will be urged is that low priced meats' and foods are' not necessarily cheap foods and frequently contain a larger amount of nutrition than the higher priced foods. Dr. S. J. Crum bine, secretary of the board, recently urged this point in an address before the Association of American Dairy, Food and Drug Officials, in conven tion at Berkeley, Cal. Second grades of fruits, it is point ed out. can be bought much more cheaply than the first grades. Fur ther it is asserted, frequently while the first grades are more pleasing to the eye, they contain a smaller actual amount of food value than the others. Value of Leftovers. Kansans are to be taught, also, it has been announced, the utilization of the "leftover." Properly prepared. Dr. .Crumbine believe, these can be made extremely palatable. It is planned to send out sample charts showing that some of the cheaper cuts of meats are equally as nutritious as the higher pViced cuts. More careful marketing is to be urged as a remedy, it is said. The state board of health plans to make the campaign on the ground that if a family is taught to live more economically it will not only benefit the state, but will enable the house hold to be better prepared to purchase those things which are essential to health. STATE FLY FREE DATE Winter Wheat Can Be Sown From September 28 to October 14. The Kantas fly-free date, or the date on which winter wheat may be sown in the state without exposing it to serious attacks of the Hessian fly, varies from September 28 to October 14, according to the county, J. C. Moh ler. secretary of the state board of ag riculture asserted today. Mr. Mohler's estimate based on ex perimental sowings during the last six vears at the Kansas State Experimen tal Station, shows that in the eastern third of the state the date ranges from October 1 in ths northern tier of coun ties to October 14 in the southern and in the rest of the state from Septem ber 28 in the northern counties to Oc tober 11.

Berlin Refuses to Pay for American Loss of Life. VON BERNSTORFF REPUDIATED Envoy's Promise of Satisfaction Is 3Jot Kept. Berlin Throws Up Jiew Obstacle to Settlement. Washington, Sept. 1ft. A new crisis in America's relations with two allied powers, Austria and Germany, was reached today. The issues upon which the TJnitd States' future course In world's politics hung were; first The demand upon Aus tria for Ambassador Dumba's re call. Second Germany's unsatisfac tory and disappointing note on the Arabic incident. Officials admitted that the two dis putes were linked.' Germany is in volved in circumstances leading to the Dumba situation. Austrian support of Germany in any diplomatic disagree ment over the Arabic case is taken for granted. Penfieid May Come Home. An open break with Austria and re tirement cf Ambassador Penfieid from Vienna was deemed possible if Austria supports Dumba's scheme of a general strike of Austro-Hungarian subjects in American war supply plants. Germany's pointblank refusal to as sume responsibility.for Americans lost on the Arabic, coupled with a qualified offer to submit the matter of financial reparation to arbitration at The Hague was recognized as presenting a new obstacle in the way of settlement of the dispute concerning submarine war fare. Bernstorfrs Promise Unfulfilled. President Wilson devcted several hojrs today to the study of Germany's note on the sinking of the Arabic. No official comment was rr.ace, but it was indicated plainly that the German ex planation is unsatisfactory. Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, had assured Secretary Lansing that full satisfaction would bo given, if it was determined that a German submarine sank the Arabic. Germany's statement that she could not acknowledge any obligation to grant indemnity is not considered full satisfaction by the officials of the government- It is understood the United States government would be willing to submit to The Hague the question of how much indemnity should be paid, but it is improbable that it will con sent to arbitrate the principle in volved. An answer to Germany is expected to go forward promptly SLAVS WIN AGAIN Follow Tarnopol Blow With Smash on Trembowla. Take More Than 15,000 Prison ers in Two Actions. Berlin. Sept. 10.

Sept. 10. French trenches near Schratzmannele and Hartmans-Wilcrkopf in the Vos ges have been captured by storm by German troops army head quarters officially announced to day. London, Sept. 10. The Russian victory at Tarnopol, eastern Galicia, has been followed by another effect ive blow at the Austrians at Trem bowla. twenty miles further south. In the combined actions more than fif teen thousand prisoners have been taken, according to Petrograd's re ports. As was the case at Tarnopol. the Russians were unable to follow up the advantage gained at Trembowla owing to the inferiority in artillery, and the Austrians were not pushed be yond the line cf the River Sereth. Basing its judgment on reports that the Germans are fortifying themselves strongly in the vicinity of Vilna, to gether with the trend of events on the south wing of the eastern front and the slow progress of the Teutonic cen ter, the British feeling is that cessa tion of the Austrian-Get man offensive in the eist may be at hand. Such a development would spell victory for that faction of the Gfrman general staff which has frgued that the lengthening of communication was in volving too much risk to warrant a further advance. French and German claims are so contradictory that it is impossible at this time to obtain a clear view of the situation in the Argonne, where the German crown prince is reported to have made progress. The French are now attempting to recover the lost ground, which the Germans assert in cluded the fortified position at Marie Therese. It is likely that this region will witness some of the bitterest fighting in the west during the next ten days. ustrians Take Dubno Fortress. London. Sept. 1 0.

Illumination Will Be Done by the Edison Company. Topeka's municipal electric lighting plant, for which Frank Is'ewland, city commissioner of water and lighting asked $12,500, to be used in making improvements, the request for which was denied by Mayor House and Com-, missioners Tandy and Wasson, in mak ing up the last city budget, is today out of commission, and tonight and for several nights to come the streets of the city will be lighted with cur rent taken from the Edison company, the cost of which Newland estimates at $120 per night. Last night the discovery was made that one of the large castings of the big engine was breaking. The casting weighs approximately two tons. A crack twenty-five inches long was found. The purpose of this piece of the engine is to hold the big piston arm in the slots in which it works. Should the casting give way while the engine Is working, in the opinion of Mr. Newland, practically the entire plant would be wrecked. "It came sooner than we expected and in a different place," said Mr. Newland, speaking of the break. Mr. Newland says he expects breakdowns to be frequent, owing to the heavy load carried and the failure of the city to provide funds for improve ments. He had planned to shut down for two weeks or more after fair week and take current from the Edi son company while the cylinders of the big engine were being rebored and other repairs made. Today's shut down came before they were prepared to make these repairs. Mr. Newland hopes' that the pfant will be in operation within two days. CLASH IN RATE HEARING Spirited Contentions Between Freling and Santa Lawyers. Oklahoma City. Okla.. Sept. 10. Strenuous contentions between attor neys for the Santa Fe and Attorney General Freling over the valuations listed by the road for its property at Moore, Okla., featured the hearing of the rate case here before Judge Youmans today. Several different statements as to the valuation of the stockyards and the real estate owned by the carrier at Moore, all widely different as to amounts, proved to be the bone of contention Bell Jury Completed. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 10. A jury, six of whom are farmers, was com pleted today to try Mayor Joseph E. Bell, who is under indictment for con spiracy in the 1914 election. Six of the jurors are Republicans, three Democrats, one Progressive, one Socialist and one Prohibitionist. Pros ecutor Alvah J.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTRTJA& FRIDAY EVE'MTNG. SEPTEMBER 10,1915. MONEY JNKANSAS Returns for Crops Will Be Nearly All Velvet. Farmers Hare Paid Cash in Advance This Year. GREATEST DEPOSITS IN YEARS Banks Should Break All ilec ords This Fajl. High Water' Mark, Reports Benson',. Is 210 3IiIIions. W. F. Benson, state bank commis sioner, will unite with the comptroller of the currency in November in an effort to determine the exact condi tion of Kansas banks as a result of the 1915 wheat and corn production. Both the state and national banks will probably be asked to make financial statements simultaneously when the next call is issued in order to make comparisons of the state's financial condition. Commissioner Benson believes that the Kansas banks will this fall show greater deposits than ever before. The record for June 23, the last call upon state banks, showed 129 millions on deposits in 918 state banks, as against 102 millions deposited in 907 state banks on June 30, 1914. June records concerning condition of the national banks have not been received from the comptroller's office, but an unof ficial record shows a gain of about twenty millions in deposits over the 1914 showing. Kecently a call was issued for a statement from national banks as to their condition on September 2. Kan sas bankers and officers in the state banking department do not anticipate a material increase in deposits over the June record. Farmers Paid Cash. "So little wheat has actually been threshed that it has made absolutely no material change in the financial condition of the farmers or mer chants." said Benson. "Most of the farmers paid cash for their machinery and twine this year an almost un known record in the state. "In former years the merchants have been compelled to carry the ac counts of the farmers in the wheat growing districts until their crop was harvested. This year's revenue from "the sale of wheat will materially in ert ase the deposits in the banks and will mean that in the future virtually every farmer in the wheat growing counties will own his own land. Re ceipts from the sale of last year's crop more than paid- for many of the farms." Comparison of Figures. It is the plan of the state and fed eral banking departments to gather a comparison of banking figures as soon as the Kansas wheat and corn crop is placed on the market. Most of the money from the sale of crops will be in the hands of the farmers in late Xovember or early December. At that time every bank and trust company, operating under -either the state or federal banking laws, will be called upon to make a statement. The high wafer mark" in Kansas bank deposits both state and nation al is 210 million dollars. Maybe the report of the June condition from the comptroller will slightly increase this figure. But Commissioner Benson be lieve that the late fall report will greatly surpass any former record. Many Kansas bankers believe that the record of deposits this fall will reach 230 to 235 million dollars. FOMENTMOER! Far Be It From Dumba To Po Anything Wrong. Baron Zvriedinek in Warm De fense of Envoy. Lenox. Mass., Sept. 10. Baron Erich Zwiedinek, counselor of tho Austro-Hungarian embassy, who will become charge d'affaires after the re call of Ambassador Dumba, issued the following signed statement early to day, supplementing an informal ex pression of opinion last night: "I know Dr. Dumba personally verv well, and from my conversations with him I could not think that he should have intended fomenting strikes in munitions plants. We have certainly and naturally felt a satisfaction when reading in the papers of difficulties and strikes in factories making muni tions for the allies, but to foment such a thing ourselves would have been such an absolutely impossible under taking that it would be for me quite Inconceivable that Dr. Dumba should have suddenly had such an idea. Dumba's "Humanitarian" Aim. "One has only to think of the enor mous number of laborers emnloved in these factories, -which runs into the hundreds of thousands, to realize how many millions of dollars would be nec essary to produce any practical effect. Dr. Dumba. so far as I have under stood, asked for only a few thousand dollars: so it seems to me evident that he had only a humanitarian idea in mind, as he also mentioned to me when returning from New York. "The imperial and royal government has pointed out the legal penalties which would be incurred by Austro Hungarian subjects who returned home from America after the war if they had worked In factories making munit'ons ror trie allies- these pen- i alties would not only have been those prescribed by the law for helping enemies of the monarchy, but much more so those of public opinion, as in i the case of a man who had made mu- nitions for the allies who should go back to his home village, perhaps to SEE Before You Write If You FACTORT BRANCH 822 KANSAS AVE. inherit the property of men who have bem killed by those munitions. "Naturally, the considerations, if brought lo their attention, might have caused a certain number of Austro Hungarian subjects to itave their em ployment in American rrunition fac tories, and I had been of the opinion that Doctor Dumba's plans were de signedly to give aid to needy working men who had given up their work and had not yet found other employment. "The small sum of morey suggested in this connection I believe only $15,000 would have been absolutely insufficient to finance a s:trike.- "Besides, I am quite certain that if on second thought Dr. Dumba had come to the conclusion that his ideas were not in accord with the duties and obligations toward the United States government imposed by his position here, he would have withdrawn him self. Therefore, even if appearance at first should be against him, I am especially sorry that the whole matter of sending this letter has been done in such a rush. I am confident that the imperial and royal government has not the slightest desire for any com plications or difficulties with the United States, for it puts too much value on the cordial and friendly rela tions which have always existed be- i tween the two governments and which have been emphasized of late. TO KILL RANGERS Carranza Men Except Only U. S. Troops From Fire. Lower Rio Grande Bristles With American Bayonets. Brownsville. Tex.. Sept. 10. Car ranza troops are entrenched at the Progreso crossing of the Rio Grande, about thirty miles above Brownsville. They shouted across the river to American soldiers at that point that they would not fire upon American troops. They also announced that they would reserve the right to fire upon any rangers, deputies or civilians who appeared on the American bank of the river. The lower Rio Grande valley bris tled with troops today, disposed of in two lines in a manner giving substan tial promise of peace from the bandits and absolute protection against seri ous incursions from the Mexican side. From its mouth for a distance of a hundred miles up stream there is a line of cavalry patrols riding river bank and roads. Behind the cavalry a few miles inland is a line of infan try posts held in reserve, forming a great letter "V," each side of the let ter about 100 miles long, one side ly ing parallel with the river and the other side running straight north into the plains country above Brownsville. This infantry is posted at towns which in this valley lie exclusively along the lines of railroads, one skirt ing the river and the other running north. The cavalry facing the Mexi can boundary is under Col. A. P. Blocksom at Fort Brown here. The infantry lines are under Col. Robert L.

THE Piano Not After Cannot Call p.wHrncoRE MANAGES MAKES A BIG BOOK Transcript of Testimony in the Botkin Investigation Completed Covers Nearly 1,800 Typewritten Pages. GOES OUT IN INSTALLMENTS Several Members of Commis sion Demanded a Copy. Assemble in Topeka Wednes day to Render Decision. Final installments of the transcript of testimony la the ouster proceedings against Warden J. D. Botkin wereto day mailed to members of the com mission. The transcript covers nearly 1.800 typewritten pages. This testi mony will be reviewed by the commis sion before the final meeting in To peka next Wednesday to tell the war den just what they "think of his offi cial record. Several members of the commission declined to pass on the Botkin case until they had been provided with a record of the testimony. W. D. Well man, official reporter for the commis sion, and three assistants, have been busy for more than two weeks prepar ing the transcript of tne evidence for and against Botkin. The testimony was sant to members of the commis sion in installments of 500 typewritten pages each. The fourth installment of 300 pages was aue to leave Wellman's office today. Each copy or install ment of the transcript to individual members is registered and valued on the registry record at $150. Nearly 100 witnesses were called be fore the commission appointed, by Governor Capper to investigate charges against J. D. Botkin. warden of the state prison. In addition to th oral testimony in the hearing at To peka and Lansing, numerous lengthy exhibits were offered both by the prosecution and the defense. These exhibits cover nearly one-fourth of the entire transcript of the proceedings. They deal chiefly with records of the prison and letters written concerning the Gifford and Stalnacker cases, both of which were investigated by the commission. All of the exhibits were copied in the record and added to the bulk of the testimony. The commission in the Botkin case will come to Topeka next Wednesday and will probably spend a day in dis cussing the evidence before announc ing a decision. Whether an agreement will be had on all of the charges is a matter of doubt In the minds of a number of persons who have followed the case. A general finding favorable or unfavorable to Botkin will first be determined. Then the commission will take up each of the fifteen charges against the prison warden and his record. Whether an agreement will be reached on each of the charges is a matter of uncertainty, although the general result- was forecast sev eral weeks ago. The- report of the commission will be t'Jea with the governor. In event of c decision against the warden, which has been generally predicted, the governor may appoint Botkin's successor at once. Botkin was suspended from service in July following the filing of charges against his official record in the man agement of the state penitentiary. Since the order of suspension was is sued. A. B. Tolman, former deputy warden, has been in charge of the prison. TALAS UNDER SCRUTINY Grand Jnry Gets Evidence Against Man Accused of Nichols Crime. New York, Sept. 10.

Be fore ascending Count Von Bernstorff in reply to questions said he had nothing to say. Count Bernstorff remained with Dr. Duba for more than an hour. As he was leaving the latter's hotel for his own, he said in reply to a question, that his meeting with Dr. Dumba could not in a strict sense be called a conference. He said that he had gone to Dr. Dumba's hotel to bid the am bassador from Austria-Hungary good bye. "Are you going away?" the ambas sador was asked. "Oh, no," replied he. "The ambas sador from Austria-Hungary is." "Where is he going right now? To Austria?" was next asked. The ambassador smiled and replied: "Not jpst now; he's going to Lenox." The ambassador declined to. com ment furtheron his meeting with Dumba, and Dr. Dumba continued to deny himself to callers.

Ked Sox and Detroit Tigers Re tain Their Positions. New York, Sept. 10. While Phila delphia increased its lead in the Na tional league pennant race by taking both games of a doubleheader from New Tork, Boston and Brooklyn again exchanged places. Brooklyn's close victory over the Braves Thursday shoves Boston back into third place and the Superbas, now three games behind Philadelphia and the Braves, four full games behind the leaders, start west today. Both have proved themselves to be poor road teams this year, while Philadelphia also has played better baseball at home than abroad. Philadelphia has another game to p;ay with the Giants before beginning its trip. The Superbas have the ad vantage over Boston, for, in addition to being a game ahead of the Bravea, they will have to play four games less than either the Braves or the Phillies. Boston and Detroit retain their re spective positions in the American league race, as the result of Thurs day's games, both teams having van-: quished their opponents. The Red Sox still hold the lead by two and one half games over the Tigers, but De troit will have to play only twenty-one games while the Red Sox schedule calls for twenty-six.

And when you stop to think that no matter what the disease it could have been driven from tlie system if attention had been given at the proper time, there's not much excuse for the condition. Chronic diseases often have an insignificant origin appar ently. The development of a chronic disease is often so deceptive that the sufferer scarcely realizes the progress made until too late. But there are symptoms of practically every disease with which the specialist is familiar recognizing them in the early stages. Practically every disease causes a certain discomfort which should be a warning to the afflicted. Right then is the time to consult a physician, a specialist. Distress in the stomach, lameness in the back, soreness and stiffness of the joints, headaches, pain In the region of the liver. lungs, or of the pelvic organs, indicate an abnormal or Irregular condition, symptoms, possibly of organic dis ease.

SPALDING IS DEAD Father of Baseball Expires Unexpect edly at Point Loma. Calif. San Diego, Cal., Sept. 10. Albert G. Spalding, well known sporting goods manufacturer and San- Diego capit.il ist, died unexpectedly at his home at Point Loma, near here, last night. Death was due to apoplexy. He was 65 years old. Pioneer in Baseball. Chicago, Sept. 10. Albert G. Scald ing was born in Byron, III., September 2, IS 50. and was one of the pioneers of baseball. He frequently was re ferred to as "the father of baseball." When he was 17 years old his repu tation as an amateur baseball player led to an offer from the Boston club. ana ror rive years he was pitcher and captain of the club. A few years later ho joined the Chicago club as manager and then became president and sec retary. With his brother, he established the firm of A. G. Spalding Co., sporting goods More in Chicago. Later the firm began the manufacture of sporting roods. STANDING OF THE CLUBS. National League. Clnbs Won. Lost. Pet.

St. Marys, Kan., Sept. 10. Football is beginning to become the all-absorbing topic here and within a short time the gridiron will be the most active spot on college campus each afternoon. Under the coaching of Stephen O'Rourke, former St. Thomas coach, St. Marys hopes to have a winning team this year. The schedule this year is not as heavy as it has been for a number of seasons and many of the followers of the school would not be surprised to see an all-victorious season. The schedule, as announced, is as follows: Oct. 2 St. Marys vb. Olathe Mutes. Oct. 8, St. Marys vs. Warrensburg Normal. Oct. 14, St. Marys vs. Hays Normal. Oct. 21, St. Marys vs. Kansas Wes leyan. Nov. 2, St. Marys vs. Cooper college. Nov. 11, St. Marys vs. Ottawa uni versity. Nov. 25, St. Marys vs. Doane college. Wesleyan Gridiron Opened. Salina, Kan., Sept. 10. Football practice has begun at the Wesleyan university with a squad of fifteen stu dents, and from these the team will be picked for first and secondary work. The practice this week will be only in passing the ball, punting and run ning. Many of the last year's team will be in the lineup again and Coach Ragle expresses the belief that the team will be a strong one. The first game 'will be at Lawrence with the Haskell team on September 25. G. O.'s Against Ottawa Sunday. Ottawa, Kan., Sept. 10.

With "Crip" Gray back on the job, local interest in football is due to Jump several points. Gray, who has been spending the summer among the Buckeyes, is look ing fine and appears to have the de termination to turn out a whirlwind team. The amateur basketball rules have been revised to the same standard as collegiate rules. The only change made is that a player dribbling the ball has a right to shoot for goal. Joe Shugrue and Willie Ritchie have been matched to box 10 rounds in New York October 4. The match will probably be notable because it will mark the return of decisions by referees. Packey McFarland's wife announces that she is to get the $17,500 purse Packey Is to box for Saturday night at Brighton Beach. And, woman like, she announces that it is already spent for two hats and an automo bile. Owner Savage of the local ball team did not go to Omaha Thursday for the meeting that was to have been held in that city. Therefore, it is pre sumed that the firing of O'Neill has been postponed. One of those inquisitive pests now wants to' know why tennis players wear handkerchiefs tied around their heads. Presumably they do It so they can distinguish their heads from the balls with which they play. The gentleman who would like to communicate with the president of the Omaha ball club can do so by- ad dressing his epistle to W. A. Rourke, Omaha, Neb. If it's a bill, he might put Mr. before the W. A. It is rumored that Bugs Grover has an ambition to be a Topeka cop this winter. However, Chief Parsons says that no application has been made by the Bugs. Grover would probably make a good officer of the law. But if the city is looking for a real good matron of any sort no mistake would be made in giv ing the job to Eddie Monroe. Eddie is a perfect old lady. Carl Linge, who played in most of the Washburn gridiron games last sea son announces that he has not made up his mind whether or not he will play this year. Linge is legging ad vertising for the Washburn Review just now, the first issue of which will appear next week. The Savages appear to be playing the same brand of ball in the bushes they played during the last two weeks of the regular season. There is some talk of a Sunday exhibition game here before the Barnstormers break up. Grover Young, a pitcher on the Evansville Central league pennant wining team, is due to be hounded from the pitcher's union. Young was so careless with himself at bat that he led his club In hitting with a per cent of .305. Dashner also led the Topeka club but he led in scarcity, not in abundance. Fred Snodgrass started a regular panning bee when he signed up with the Braves, it seems. Philadelphia fans are panning Manager Moran of the Phillies for not grabbing Snod grass. They say the hero of the $30,000 muff asked Moran for a job before he tackled the Braves, but while Moran was thinking it over Stallings grabbed Fred. And now Pirate fans are panning Snodgrass because they say he promised to give Manager Clarke first call on his services and then signed with the Boston crew. SETS A GOLF RECORD. Mrs. C H.

GAMES START SUNDAY All Plans Made for Emmett Inter County Baseball Tonrncj. Emmett, Kan., Sept. 10. The first two games of the inter-county base ball tournament will be held here Sun day between the picked teams from Shawnee and Pottawatomie counties. Shawnee will be represented by the following players from Topeko.: Pe terson, Wall and Herron of the Santa Fe; Boydson, Butler and McOrew of the Eagles; Clark of the Palace; Al len of the Gems; Beals and Nowers of College Hill, together with the star pitchers, Simpson and Wright. This will be the fastest amateur team that ever hailed from the capital city and the Shawnees feel confident of victory. Frank Zima, manager of the Potta watomie team, said this morning: "Our greatest difficulty is in selecting the nine men to represent us as we have about eighteen players whose record would justify placing them on the all-star team. However, with a doubleheader Sunday we will be able to pick the very best for the three oth er county games." After viewing the various teams it was decided that the following play ers would play for Pottawatomie: Guilfoyle, Kane, Sullivan and Sack rider of Wamego; Stratton of Louis ville; Hart of Westmoreland; Willson and Shurer of St. George; Moss, Yo- kum. Lane and Kemp of St. Marys; Crum, Onaga; Gillganon, Glynn and Macca of Emmett. With this fast lineup playing their regular air-tight game behind Strat ton, Gillganon and Sackrider pitching up to their usual high standard Pot tawatomie expects to win. D. J. Lane of St. Marys will offi ciate at all the games. Mirthrul Wins $2,000 Purse. Hartford, Conn., Sept. 10.

According to the federal department of agriculture nearly all crops are to break their best previous records this year in respect to their volume yield And while the assertion may seem to be an exaggeration, it is nevertheless the- truth that the agricultural possi bilities of this country have merely been scratched on the surface. Maybe Czar Nicholas doesn't think that the Grand Duke Nicholas is as efficient in staging retreats as the occasion demands. It also goes without saying that the rule of General Funston over the large region of Texas that is now within his jurisdiction will be a beneficent one. That's the Funston way. Wanting to get back to Kansas was a sufficient reason for Fred Clarke to resign his managership of the Pitts burg Pirates. There couldn't be a better one.

A real fire drill once a month is the latest essential to be added to the curriculum of the Kansas schools. Perhaps, if such drills came oftener, it would be better. Necessarily, anything that savors of a joke in connection with a war is ex ceedingly rare.

Tarbell writes an entertaining and sensible article en titled "The Pursuit of Culture" in which she takes up some of the sub stitutes for culture which women are willing to accept in place of the real thing. Following is Miss Tarbell's definition of real culture: "Culture is a. slow process. It comes from long and close contacts. It is the fruit of reflection, of travail of soul and of mind. Grappling with something until the very essence of it -has been ex tracted is a first step. Thus the taste of essences is learned and once learn ed lesser distillations do not satisfy. Then follows a growing power to dis criminate, to distinguish nice values, to Judge of quality, to answer to beauty, to feel the need,, that what you have taougU it may be UtUe may still be the real thing. This is culture. It is not baggage, like diplo mas and degrees it is not things seen and lipnrd. miles traveled or books read. These are the materials for culture: they contribute to it only when they are absorbed by the mind and as really lost in it as water and lime, phosphates and ammonia must be lost in the soil if they are to en ifh it and enable it to increase its yield." Undoubtedly "ie most courageous of tho, mn In the European war are those who go up in the clouds in air craft and those who go down into the spa in submarines. The chances of either escaping death if anything goes wrong are meager. TYPHOID VACCINATION. An enormous increase in the num ber of persons seeking anti-typhoid vaccination is reported by the United States public health service. Not alone is this increase manifested among the beneficiaries of that organization and government employees, but the gen eral public is also awakening to the value of the inoculation. Reports from physicians throughout the country in dicate that many are receiving tne preventive treatment and laboratory estabishments have had a greatly in creased demand for the vaccine. So great is the call among employees of the government that it has been nee essary to issue a second edition of the secretary of the treasury's circular stating the localities where the treat ment may be received. It is estimated that during 1914 over 100,000 persons throughout the country were immun ized and it is believed that in 1915 the number will exceed 300,000. In four counties of North Carolina, where campaigns are now being con ducted, it is estimated that 20,000 peo ple will be immunized. The public is seldom slow to accept an innova tion of worth. The reduction of the caee rate in the army from 536 per 100,000, before the discovery of anti typhoid vaccine, to 3, since inocula tion was made compulsory, has not passed unnoticed. During four months of 1898 there were over 2,000 cases of typhoid among 10,000 soldiers en camped in Florida; in 1911 among 20,000 men similarly encamped, there were but two cases. If such a de gree of immunity can be harmlessly conferred upon a body of men living under adverse conditions and whose age renders them susceptible, the con- j elusion is that protection can just as j easily be afforded ordinary citizens. Anti-typhoid vaccination is quite as simple as that for smallpox and even children do not c6mplain. There are no local effects other than a slight reddening at the site of the injection, and sore arms are entirely lacking. In small percentage of cases a mild systematic reaction, accompanied by headache and a slight rise in tem perature, occurs, but if the treatment is given at night- the person's rest is undisturbed and he is entirely un aware of these symptoms. In the majority of instances, however, there not the slightest inconvenience. The immunity probably lasts for sev eral years, although its duration is less than that of smallpox, which fre quently persists for a lifetime. It is believed that more widespread recog nition of the benefits conferred by anti-typhoid immunization will have an immediate effect upon the morbid ity and mortality rates for the dis ease. As a result or sanitary meas ures alone the death rate from typhoid has been cut in half during the last fifteen years; what has been done in fifteen years of sanitation can be ac complished in as many weeks with inoculation. It is conceivable, if im munization attains the general recog nition that smallpox prevention has secured, and there is no reason why such acceptance should not be ac corded it, that typhoid will be a rare disease by 1930. This means that even many of the older physicians of today will live to see the time when the infection will no longer be com mon. One point must be considered in making such a prognostication. As immunity is conferred the necessity for immunization becomes less appar ent to the general public, and the method will to a certain extent be neglected. This is the situation as regards smallpox in the country to day, and for this very reason the dis ease will persist until universal im munization is practiced. Therefore, even with perfect methods, the entire elimination of the disease is not to be looked for. Even the extensive equipment at the Topeka fair grounds is not suf ficient to meet the demands of the entries in various departments, and new barns and sheds must be erected to care for them. This gives a good idea of the proportions that the fair of next week will assume. And there were some who argued that making it a fair with a free gate would so cheapen it that exhibitors would not deem it worth while to come and dis play their stock and wares. WHEN WOMAN REACHES FIFTX. Being not so young as you were ia not all loss, insists E. S. Martin, in Harper's Magazine for September, and he continues: If maturity of years is an ailment, then youth is another. To be fifty years old is to Lave made a fairly complete recovery from the ail ment of youth, and that is no small achievement. It is not everybody that does It. The person who remembers statistics will tell you what proportion of us struggling people succumb to youth and its mischances and hard ships. It is a large proportion. The rapids of the river of life, the rockiest places, the swiftest descents, are apt to be up-stream. To have passed them aU and got down into the calmer lev els of the fifties is a feat that justifies a good many comfortable thoughts. Tes, it is; especially if one t too much stove in by arduous! imi naries and has been able pev to bring down some cargo with him. It is, or used to be, a, fashion to sigh for lost youth, and there are people who do sincerely mourn for it. Women, especially, who have had full meas ure of youthful beauty, part with it, usually, with sighs and reluctance. Gray hair seldom pleases them; they don't like wigs; the "ravages of time' are real and sad to them, and they repair them with diligence and what skill they may command. Beauty in a woman is a power. To be noticed and admired and courted for it is, no doubt, a very considerable stimulation and entertainment, not to be indiffer ently parted with, and not in all cases offset by gains in authority, or the tribute of deference that is paid to character, or the tribute of love that comes to unselfishness and gentleness and power of sympathy. What a wom an loses by the years in freshness of physical beauty she ought more than to make up in wisdom that comes from living, in the fuller understanding ot people and of life, in all the kinds of knowledge, in self-possession and in creased skill in the arrangement and discharge of the parts of speech. So it does happen with able women who have had a chance to develop and who have lived good lives. They are vastly more interesting at fifty than at twen ty-two, and many of them are lovelier to look at. But beauty comes ready made, and these maturer attractions have to be earned, and not all women earn them. Journal Entries Nor it is very often that a person wakes up on a fine morning to find himself famous. People who never want anything they cannot get easily seldom have much that is worth while. The more talented the man, the harder he usually works to improve and further develop his talents. The man who declares that he'd rather be poor and happy than rich and otherwise is probably posing. If there were a heavy tax on talk nearly everybody would find it easy to get along without indulging in so much of it.

The Evening Story The Waltz. (By Louise Oliver.) Billy Kennard opened the door of his dreary little' bedroom and held a match to the gas jet before remov ing his hat. The reflection that sprang into view in the mirror of the bureau showed a face strong and good looking, but full of trouole- drawn lines. Failure in one life's work music It was with Billy is bad enough, but to fall in love with a girl as far above you as the planets is just about the limit of human endurance. Tonight he had seen her again, more beauti ful than ever. The first time had been on a Hud son river boat, when tne gin naa come to the rail of the music pit and looked over at him as he played h violin. The waltz they were playing was his own and he thrilled with pleasure at her evident enjoyment. The next time had been at a con cert. Their eyes met as he was play- ng the same waltz she had heard on the steamer. The third time was at a dance. The waltz was not on the program, but the orchestra played it upon request an unsigned request it waa so Billy could only guess. The waltz itself was important In Billy's history, being one of numerous good things he had composed and had come to New York to have published. Musical publishers were slow to be interested, however, and slower to act. The consequence was that Billy had used -his "Own small capital to publish his pieces, and then had dis covered that it was an. almost im possible task to sell them. He looked- n.tfmselj now in the mirror. lou poor, penniless tool. he mutered, ""ts-rgo crazy over a girl when it's all yous can do to live. Who are you to even -think cf her? But in spite of- his words, ne opened an evening paper to the society col umn. tie watcnea dairy tor ner name. or rather for her family's name, for he did not know which of the Eth eridge girls she was. An item caught his eye and he read it eagerly. The Etheridges were to be at the Arlingfords bal masque on the next night! And he was to play there after the theater! He finally went to bed and dreamed of columbines and shepherdesses, queens and flower girls, all with eyes like those of the girl he loved, beg ging him to play the "Dream" waltz. The next day was years long, and the play that night dragged insuffer ably. At last he was free, however, and, with the other members of the orchestra, he put his violin in its case and took the subway to the Ar- lingforde. He was accustomed to the extrav agance of the rich, but the magnifi cence of the ballroom tonight fairly took his breath. "I must put all this nonsense of mine out of my head. he thought. "A girl accustomed to things like this is not for me even to think about." And resolving to put away forever the little waltz, the music he had learned to associate with the girl, he took his place among the musicians on the stage. Henry of Navarre danced with Mother Goose, Napoleon with Dolly Madison, and a Crusader with Miss Muffet. Clowns and columbines, Turks and fairies, soldiers and milk maids flew past in a mad whirl, but all were masked and Billy had no idea which maid might be the girl he adored. In spite of his newly-made resolu tions, he watched eagerly during the unmasking, hoping to catch a glimpse of the girl, but she was not to be seen. A servant handed him an envelope. He read the inclosed note eagerly. Some one had asked him to meet her in the winter garden immediately. Billy crushed the note into his pock et, made his excuses, and, with the aid of the servant, found the winter gar den. Under a bav tree, looking as demure as a- Quakeress, was the missing Miss Etheridge. She smiled and held out her hand. "Good evening. Mr. Kennard.' Billy was afraid to touch her hand, and more afraid to speak. But it was up to him to say something. I am you are that is were you the person who sent for me?" he be gan awkwardly, after he had taken her hand for an Instant. He knew he was bungling dreadfully and reddened. Yes. Won't you sit down 7 sne smiled. "I sent for you," she went on, "to find out why you don't play that beautiful waltz you composed. I spoke to Mr. Richard Amberson, a friend of Mr. Etheridge, about it. He is the music publisher, you know, and he is here tonight waiting to near your mu sic. Billy gasped. "You spoke to Rich ard Amberson for me! Why, if he'd take hold of my work it would make mv fortune. How in the world can I thank you. Miss Etheridge?" "Don't thank me! Besides I'm not Miss Etheridge. I'm Marjorie Wat son, at your service." with a jolly little bow. "Poor relative and social secretary rolled into one, and treated better than she deserves by every one," she added. Billy's head was swimming. Things were happening too -fast for him to comprehend. His goddess was not only stepping i down to earth smiling, but she was holding out promises for the future. "It is all too wonderful to be true, Miss Watson. I can scarcely believe that I am awake. But I'll answer your question about the waltz. I have learned to associate it with you and he stopped. 7 "Well?" demurely. "I cannot tell you part without telling all" he went on quickly "and I cannot do that now. You have known me only ten minutes and you wouldn't understand I'm afraid. I thought you were Miss Etheridge," he added. Marjorie stood up and laid her hand on his arm. "Perhaps I under stand more than you think" she said. "Won't you come tomorrow and tell me all about it "Yes," agreed Billy eagerly. "Then let us go back so you can dig up your waltz from the bottom of the pile and play it for Richard Amber son," Marjorie said mischievously. "I'll hunt him up and tell him to listen."

Von Nuber and the editor of a foreign language newspaper concerning bringing about strikes in the Bethle hem Works and other war munitions factories. It was made plain, however, that while the state department for some time has been fully advised of the activities of Count Von Bernstorff, he was Tiot involved to the extent of be ing in the same position as Dumba, but that there was serious considera tion of whether Captain Von Papen or Consul General Von Nuber should be allowed to remain longer in the country. Letter from Von- Bernstorff. Archibald carried a communication for Count Bernstorff, but it was a copy of a statement which had been forwarded to the German ambassador by Secretary Lansing. In the note to the Vienna foreign office asking Dr. Dumba's recall. Secretary Lansing re ferred to the purpose of the ambassa dor to conspire to cripple legitimate industries in the United States. Offi cials were engaged today in a study of whether Captain Von Papen and Consul General Von Nuber were not concerned in what thj American gov ernment has characterized as a con spiracy. One official who has been studying the details of the situation said today that while the German am bassador in sending a communication by a person carrying an American passport may have technically con tributed to an abuse of that.document, in the view of the state department the nature of the communication hi sent was so far removed from the oth ers and of such a legitimate character that his act probably would not be re garded as offensive. Captain Von Papen's letter, how ever, is said to be decidedly offensive as is the nature of Consul General Von Nuber's connection with the affair, as disclosed by the papers which the British secret service men took from Archibald at Falmouth.. It was be lieved in the best informed sources to day that further steps would not be taken until the additional docu mentary evidence comes from London and until Vienna has been heard from on President Wilson's request for the recall of Dr. Dumba. Tho withdrawal of a consul general can be brought in two ways. Either his exequator can be canceled and his government notified that such action has been taken, or his government can be notified that he no longer is per-. sona grata. Tne latter metnoa considered less drastic. Evening Chat BY RUTH CAMERON. Supreme Court Decisions. "She is one of those people who give supreme court decisions. The above, produced by Molly, the little stenographer lady, is the descrip tion of a certain woman in our town who seems to be generally unpopular. She is a rather pretty woman ana an unusually capable one. She un questionably means to do about what is right. She is kind and generous in her way, and yet, as I said before, she seems to be pretty generally disliked. Why? Because, to quote Molly, "She is one of those people who give su preme court decisions." In other words, she has a habit of saying everything in such a way that she seems to be making a final decis ion. It matters not what the subject may be the best cure for mosquito bites. the right or the woman suffrage ques tion, the proper age of children to go to school, the reason for the higher cost of living. she is always ready to give her views upon it, and she always gives them as a decision, not as an opinion. Often what she says is worth con sidering, but she manages to arouse such antagonism by her manner that her hearers are seldom willing to con sider it. As one woman says, "I'd change my views for the sake of being on the opposite side. Of course everyone has a right to hold an opinion on all subjects and (within limits of breeding and de cency) to express it. But there is a difference between expressing an opin ion and giving a supreme court de cision. We may not be able to tell in just what that difference consists Ir. the abstract, but we can always recog nize it in the concrete. At least in other people. In our selves well, that's a great deal more difficult. I think most of us have the germ of the supreme court habit in our sys tems just as we carry about the pneu monia and other dangerous germs. And just as we need to keep our bodies healtny to combat the pneumonia germ so we need to keep our mental viewpoint healthy to combat the su preme court germ. We need the prophylactic sanity of constant realization of our own limitations. We need the antiseptic frankness of our family and friends a much abused antiseptic, which has nevertheless its uses. In our family we have a Biblical quotation which we are always ready to produce for the benefit of any member who seems to need it. It 'e from the twelfth chapter of Job. His friend3 have been giving what Job evi dently resents as supreme court de cisions and the long-suffering one finally becomes somewhat impatient nd remarks sarcastically:: "No doubt but ye are the people and wisdom shall die with you." We find that quotation most effec tive. Perhaps you will. too. 'If I should ask you to earn your breakfast, what would your reply be?" said the housewife.

"They don't understand the French situation. You know this is the first war in the history of the world in which the working men of Europe have been able to read and write. At the time of the Fashada incident the English newspapers and statesmen at tacked the French mercilessly and the union men read those attacks and re membered them. A few years ago the kaiser came to Fnland and hc newspapers lauded him to the skies. The laboring men of E- gland read this praise and they have not forgot en it. They mistrust much they read now because they have memory. The British working man is no longer the unread clod he was a century ago, but there are some classes in England which do not realize this fact." Union Men in Army. "Are the union men joinings the army?" "Indeed, they are. I heard the other day of one regiment that was made up almost entirely of union men. They got their unionism and their soldiering mixed and their captain had to make a speech to them in which he said: 'This regiment is no union." The whole regiment had been passing reso lutions about this thing and that in union style. A soon as it was pointed out to them, they saw the joke and became good soldiers. I haven't any recent f igurea, but there are scores of thousands of union men in the Brit ish army." "Are the union men worried about the possibility of a German invasion?" "Not a bit of it. They say the fleet will take care of that part of it, but they are ready to fight to the last man, woman and child, if invasion comes." England Doing Enough. "Why is the enlistment of working men not larger?" "The British working men say that England is doing enough as it is. They say the world can't expect Eng land to do the fourth thing on top of all the rest that she has done and is doing." "What do you mean by the 'fourth thing?" "The first thing England had to do was to olear the seas. She did this. The second was to supply money. She did that. The third thing was to sup ply ammunition, and she is doing that. In order to keep the fleet going and to keep money coming in and ammunition on hand," the working man has got to work. The 'fourth thing," as the workmen have come to call it, is to supply that. The British working man is being cursed because he does not enlist, but he cannot work and fight, too. England has supplied ten times more fighting men than she bargained for and the British work man knows it. How can Great Britain supply all the things that are demand ed of her and then supply more in ad dition?" New England Being Born. The British ur.ion man knows that a new England is going to be born out of this war. The old England is pass ing away. "There are certain classes in Eng land that are trying amid the excite ment of war to take from the working men the rights they have gained dur ing tho years of struggle. But the working man is determined to hold his rights at the greatest cost. "British union men knew that Ger many is not going to be crushed. They I know that England is not going to be crushed. They believe that a new and better civilization, with more liberty for the lower classes of all countries concerned, is going to grow out of this war. If we didn't believe that, we would cen.se our efforts." ROCK ISLAND DEFICIT? Two Trust Companies Clash In Court Over Bond Interest. Chicago Sept. 10. R. D.

Mr. Stevens submitted figures pur porting to show that the railroad is in position to pay the interest on January 1. There should be a cash balance of TOM31Y TITTLE-MOUSE All the day, Mr. Garden Toad sat and thought about what Billy had said. "I think they are queer birds. he remarked to himself disgustedly. "They have a fine garden full of worms, a chicken yard lull of grain scraps and then they want something new! What in tne woria is tnis gen eration coming to anyway. I d like to know? They want all they need and then more! But I like Billy and if he wants my help he shall have it all I can give him. But where shall I dis cover a new food it's more than I know!" Just then Tommy Tittle-mouse ran by. "Wait a minute. Tommy," cauea Mr. Garden Toad, "I want to ask your advice." That pleased Tommy Tittle-mouse immensely. He had never had his advice asked lefore and it gave him a nice feeling of importance to know that Mr. Garden Toad wanted it. So he gladly stopped to hear what the toad might say. "Those birds of ours," said tne toad. with a shake of his head towards the apple tree where Billy Robin lived. want something new to eat. imow what shall I tell them they can have?" Tommy Tittle-mouse twirled his tail importantly. He knew nothing at all about birds and their tastes, but he hoped to be able to guess something and do credit to the good opinion Mr, Garden Toad evidently had of him. 'I suggest they eat some of the nice fresh twigs and bits of grass that are now growing in the garden," he said after a minute's thought: "they are good enough for anybody." "But birds don't eat twiga and bits of grass," said the t-OKA' t'-'t Querns you don't know much about them or you would know that."

A committee consisting of Charles L. Mitchell, George Godfrey Moore and J. Will Kelley are in charge of the program. A call for every auto own er in the city to take part in the pro cession has been sent out- The pa rade will not be closed to visitors and out-of-town residents. The cars will be decorated with American flags and with the free fair colors blue and yellow. Prize Is Offered. For the best decorated car driven by a woman, a prize of two box seats for the horse show and races during the entire week will be given. The tickets are valued at $16.50 and are good for the four horse shows, the four aftjrnoon racing programs, the auto races Friday rfternoon and the concert by Marshall's band Monday evening. Competent judges will be appointed to view the parade and award the prize. Fr the parade the Commercial club has been asked to turn out in a body. State, county and city officials will take part. An auto occupied by Gov ernor Capper and state officials will lead the procession. Two Topeka bands, Marshall's and the Knights and Ladies of Security, will take part. The two organizations will be hauled on motor trucks fur nished by local business men. The parade will be one of the first of its kind over held in Topeka. To day the committee in charge of the affair is the busiest body in Topeka. It is their job to arrange for speakers and impress it upon every auto owner in the city that he or she should take part in the procession. The program at the gates will begin with a speech by Mayor J. E. House and will be followed by one or two oXher short, talks.

Has to Eat Lunch at 10 O'Cloek, He's So Long. "Milwaukee Slim," the tallest man In the country, is in Topeka for the fair. He cam to town this morning with the wiW west show. Slim is seven feet and four inches tall. O. G. Krause is his real name, and he hails from Ottawa, Kan. He was horn and reared in Franklin county, and hie parents were ordinary people in size. Slim had two sisters, on four feet and eight inches tall and the other six feet two inches. The smaller one is dead and the other is living on a farm near Ottawa. Ottawa is some town, according to Captain Krause, laying claim to many records. She has the tallest man, the heaviest man and several other "ests." The heaviest man is "Baby" Lee, weighing 590 pounds. Captain Krause is the tallest man since the death of his partner, Louis Wllkins, of Osa watomie, who was seven feet and nine inches tall. Slim has been in the show business since 188 8 when he was connected with Barnum Bailey circus, on ex hibition with several other men of marvelous stature. Slim ambled into the office this morning, stooping to get in the door, and undulated across the room wrigging himself onto a chair. The little five foot eight re porter craned his neck upward and said good morning. Milwaukee sat there with his head among the drop lights and his feet stretched half way across the floor. When he talks he moves his hands around through the atmosphere high above his head and toys with the electric light fixtures on the ceiling. Has to Eat Early. Milwaukee has his head full of Anyone Can Stop Pimples Easily Try Stuart's Calcium Wafers and See All Skin Eruptions Vanish Quickly. TRIAIj PACKAGE MAILED FREE.

And he is so tall that he has to each lunch at ten o'clock in the morning. Slim has made several other ap pearances in Topeka as an advertiser. He worked for the Crawford company here two years ago. The wild west show was flooded out at its last stand and has come to town several days be fore schedule, so Slim has some time on his hands. Since the death of Gus Shields, of Texas, who measured seven feet nine inches there is only one man in the country who can rival Slim. He is George Robertson, of Humboldt, Iowa, All six of the tall men with whom Slim was shown in the Barnum Bailey circus are dead. Krause has many friends and rela tives near Topeka. He will be glad to welcome them at the fair grounds at any time. There are some of his relations living at Mayetta. Slim attributes his wonderful growth to sorghum. "My father raised lots of cane and made lots of sorghum," said he this morning. "And I have always eaten lots of sorghum molasses." Milwaukee measured six feet two inches when he was fifteen years old, and all because he followed the plan of the sugar cane. "Cane grows tall," says Slim. "And I did the same by keeping myself full of the same thing that causes the cane to grow." ROCK ISLAND ESCAPES Action of Federal Courts Saves Road From Financial Embarrassment. Chicago. 111., Sept. 10. Co-operation of federal courts in Chicago and St. Louis Thursday saved the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad from additional financial troubles the pay ment of a $5,000,000 guarantee on notes of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain Southern railroad. Last May the receivers of the Rock Island entered into a contract with the Memphis Railway and Bridge and Terminal company for use of a bridge and terminal at Memphis. The Iron Mountain was a party to the contract, under the terms of which the Rock Island guaranteed a $5,000,000 gold note issue. One of the provisions was that if the Iron Mountain was thrown in the hands of a receiver the notes could b j declared in default and the Rock Is land would have to pay. The Iron Mountain did go into a receivership. The Guarantee Trust company, hold ing the notes, agreed not to force the default clause providing the federal courts in Chicago and St. Louis, hav ing charge of the two receiverships, would permit a supplemental contract reguaranteeing the issue. The permission was granted in St. Louis and agreed to by Federal Judge Carpenter. FARM "EXPERT" RAPPED Tillers Oppose Half-Baked Advisers from Schools; Salinan Honored. ALL FORDEFENSE Branch of National Security League in Topeka. Preliminary Meeting to Be Held at Commercial Club. Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 10. The Farm ers' union, in its national convention, went on record as opposed to the pro fessional farm adviser sent out, it is alleged, by some agricultural schools. The report says in part: "We welcome the farm bureau or demonstration agent sent to us by the United States government. We need the assistance of his scientific knowl edge. But we feel that to be of the most help to the farmer he should combine both the scientific and prac tical side of agriculture. That is, after taking the college course he make good on the farm by applying to it his scientific knowledge before going out as a teacher of agriculture or farm adviser." C. S. Barrett of Union City, Ga., was elected president. M. McAuliffe, Sa lina, Kan., was elected to the board of directors. SALESMAN DIES AT WAKEEXET. Free Trial Coupon T. A. Stuart Co..

WaKeeney, Kan., Sept. 10. J. S. Gammon, a traveling salesman, was found dead in the back yard of the Woods hotel here early Wednesday morning. He arose in the night and left the house complaining of being ill. About 8 o'clock the ice man found the body while going to the Ice house just back of the hotel. An autopsy was held and it was found that he died of heart trouble. Gammon was a salesman for the Light Draft Harrow company of Mar shalltown, Iowa, and lived at Cedar Rapids. He had been around town here for several weeks demonstrating harrows. While at the Campbell ranch recently he was taken suddenly violently ill and it is thought that he had been suffering with heart trouble for some time. The body was taken to Kansas City, Mo., by order of his employers. A meeting for the purpose of or ganizing a local branch of the Na tional Security league will be held Saturday noon at the Commercil club. William B. Brewster, of New York, is in Topeka promoting the society and he will speak at the meeting. Mr. Brewster is field secretary of the league. Since leaving New York he has organized branches of the society in Cleveland, Detroit. Milwaukee, St. Paul. Minneapolis, Des Moines and Omaha. The purpose of the organization is to lay before the country plans for de fense worked out by military and naval experts. These plans have been approved by several successive admin istrations but have been turned down in congress. It is the purpose of the league to force congress to heed the wishes of the people of the country. Caused Business Men's Camps. "Already through our organization large employers of labor have been aroused and are encouraging their men to enlist in the state militia," said Mr. Brewster. "The business men's camps, one of which is now being held in Cleveland, came into being through the activity of the league. "The navy is exceeded in tonnage by England, Germany and France. And the navy is blind. It has no bat tle or scout cruisers. We haven't yet completed a single speedy, up to date armored aeroplane, but we have twenty-one thousand miles of coast to defend in the United States, to say nothing of our insular possessions. "Our army reserve consists of six teen retired army officers. "The league hopes to arouse public sentiment so that congress will hear the voice of the people speak for an adequate national defense. At the same time we hope that the expression of the people will be so loud and so clear in this matter, that the state leg islatures will take notice and provide properly for the state militia. Not for Peace at Any Price. "We are not militarists," Mr. Brew ster said. "We are for peace, but we believe that peace can only be ob tained by preparedness. The league believes in a better balanced army and navy, in a strong volunteer force and a reserve for each branch of the ser vice, army and navy. Our army should be concentrated in a few army posts. That would save millions of dollars annually. We have too many useless navy yards and army posts. We have a mobile army of thirty thousand men scattered between fifty two army posts. Just think what thai means. It would be a joke if it was not so much of a tragedy. "The army is short of officers, men, equipment and ammunition. The coast defenses are inadequate. The national guard is below even its paper strength." Camera Cup to Kansas. Kansas City, Sept. 10. The Mis souri Valley Photographers' associa tion, in convention here, elected the following officers: President, L. S. Kucker, Springfield, Mo.; vice pres ident, John Wilson, Pawnee City, Neb.; secretary, Harry Pottinger, Wichita. Kan.; treasurer, Alva Townsend, Lin coln, Neb.

What became of all the fat-producing nourish ment it contained? Yon haven't gained in weight one ounce. That food pnssed from your body like unburnefl coal through an open grate. The material was there, but your food doesn't work and stick, and the plain truth is von hanlly get enough nourishment from your meals to pay for the cost of cooking. This is true of thin folks the world over. Tour nutritive or gans, your functions of assimilation, are probably sadly out of gear and need re construction. Cut out the foolish foods and funny saw dust diets Cut out everything but the meals you are eating and eat with every one of those a single Sargol tablet. In two weeks note the difference. Let ttie scales be the judge. Five to eight good solid pounds of healthy, "stay-there" fat may be the net result. Sargol aims to charge weak, stag nant blood with millions of fresh new red blood corpuscles to give the blood the carrying power to deliver every ounce of fat-making material iu your food to everv part of your body. Sargol. too. mixes with your food, to prepare it for the blood in on easily assimulated form. Thin people tell how they have gained all the way from 10 to 'Jo pounds a month while tak ing Sargol and say that the new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets are a csreful combination of six of the best assimi lative elements known to chemistry. They come 40 tablets to a package, are pleasant, harmless and inexpensive, and Arnold lrug Co. and all other good druggists in this vicinity sell them subject to an ab solute guarantee of weight increase or money back as found in every large pack age.

Again Says He Is in Practical Control of Country. Washington, Sept. 10. General Carranza in his reply to the Pan- American conferees. It was learnea here today, will agrea-to any -inter national aspects of the Mexican situa tlon, but will decline to enter a con ference on internal affairs. Carranza's answer, which is expect- ed today or tomorrow, is said to de cline the offer extended by Secretary T-ansins? and the Latin-American diplomats to arrange a conference of the Mexican factions to cnoose a pro visional eovernor. Carranza's main contention, it is said, will be that his forces are in practical control of the country and that to enter into such a conference would have no Deneticiai effect. Appreciates Friendly Interest. General Carranza will declare, how ever, that he does not wish to ignore the friendly interest of the ijnitea States, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Bo livia, Uruguay and Guatemala, and for that reason will say; if there are any international aspects which can properly be considered with- repre sentatives of the Pan-American gov ernments he will appoint representa tives to meet them. It is pointed out by American offi cials that there are international as well as internal questions in the Mex ican situation that need consideration and adjustment. One is whether Car ranza is in a position to afford ade quate protection to life and property, and another concerns payment of claims of foreigners growing out of the revolution. Not Mediation Commission. At the mediation conference at Nia gara Falls last year Carranza declined mediation of internal affairs of Mex ico, but offered to enter the confer ence to consider international ques tions. His proposal was rejected on the ground that he could not be per mitted to limit the scope of the media tion. It Is pointed out now that con ditions have changed and that the Pan-American conferees are in no sense a mediation commission. BORDER AGITATORS REMOVED. General Xafarette Among Others to Be Sent to Interior. Brownsville, Tex., Sept. 10. Gen eral Pratocio Elizonzo, stationed at Matamoras, has been implicated in the crossing of Mexican soldiers to the American side and has been trans 1 f erred to Mexico City by order of Gen eral Carranza, it became known today. He will leave tomorrow. General Xafarette, constitutionalist comman der at Matamoras, is also to be sent elsewhere soon, it is understood. Oth er Mexican officers and several offi cials are said to be under investiga tion. IT BOWS TO THE COURT The P. V. C. Will Contest Scales Cases Xo Farther. Following three adverse decisions, members of the public utilities com mission announced today that they would no longer attempt to enforce the 1915 act compelling the placing of stock weighing scales at stations where fifty cars of stock are shipped annually. The commission agrees with a decision by Judge Whitcomb of the Shawnee county district court, that stock scales at points of shipment are not a legitimate part of the shipping facilities. Recently the Shawnee county court held in three cases that scales at points of shipment could not be con strued as a part of the legitimate shipping facilities. It was argued that the shipper paid freight rates, based on the weight of stock at the point of destination. For that reason, it was held that the new Kansas statute was unconstitutional. For several years the legislature had been asked to enact a law compelling the placing of weighing scales at all points where fifty cars of stock were hipped annually. The last legislature passed the bill and it became a law several months ago. A number of complaints under the new law were filed with the utilities commission and in three oases scales were ordered. These cases were appealed to the dis trict court, where the law was held to be void. "We will now wipe the remaining cases from our docket," said Judge E. F. Foley of the commission. It is not the plan of the commission to contest the case in the supreme court. NAME MISS BRESETTE State Wise Commissioners Appoint Her Their Secretary. Linna E. Bresette. state factory in spector, was today elected secretary of the new state wage commission. Her salary was fixed at f 1,500 a year. Miss Bresette has not announced whether she will accept the position. She was not a candidate for the place. In little more than two years that Miss Bresette has been connected with the state bureau of labor as factory inr spector, she has made a record. She has done much to harmonize the com mon difference between the employer and the employee and has kept In touch with nearly 12,000 working girls In shops and factories of the state. Miss Bresette is a Democrat and an appointee of Governor Hodges. At the personal request of Governor. Capper, however," Miss Bresette was reappoint ed when Paul McBride became labor commissioner. Miss Bresette was largely responsible for the passage of the wage commissloa bill by the 1915 legislature, but declined to become a candidate for a position under the new commission. Her election today was without request or solicitation on her part. Should Miss Bresette, who is not in Topeka today, accept the appointment, the wage commission will at once take up investigation of wage conditions and working hours in several Kansas Recruiting Sergeant Addresses Crowd From Rained Houses. London, Sept. 10. "The answer of the people of London and in the Lon don district to these exercises in frightfulness may be given in an epi sode mentioned in the Manchester Guardian." says the Spectator, in commenting upon the Zeppelin raids of Tuesday and Wednesday nights. A recruiting sergeant has been address ing crowds from a platform made of beris of ruined houses, and the re sults have been excellent. The Daily Mirror says the reply of London was a great army of recruits. A large number of volunteers present ed themselves at Trafalgar square. this newspaper says, and in every part of the country men flocked to the colors. The Evening Stnndard ex presses the hope that the British gov ernment will announce its determina tion to hold the head of the German aircraft service personally responsible for the deaths occasioned by the Zep pelin ram?, The Globe and other newspapers take the view that every air raid on London or other English cities should be followed immediately by attacks on such German cities as Cologne, Strassburg, Karlsruhe and Dussel- dorff, which are within easy reach of iieirort, jerance. CUT TO 20 YEARS Sentence of a Life Termer Is Reduced by Governor Capper. Governor Capper today granted a commutation of sentence to Blaine Monroe, sent to the state penitentiary for first degree murder m Reno coun ty, four years ago. The commutation reduces Monroe's sentence from life imprisonment to twenty years. Monroe was convicted -of first de gree murder by a Reno county jury a little more than four years aeo. Judge C E. Branine, who was on the bench at that time and heard the evi dence, believes the sentence was too severe. He recently wrote a letter asking that clemency be shown. Act ing largely under the suggestion of the trial judge, the governor today re duced Monroe's sentence to twenty years.

The 2- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Addington, of Rochester. Mo., died at a hospital here today, from a bullet wound caused by the accidental dis charge of a revolver held by the baby's motner.

The unfilled tonnage of the United States Steel corporation on August 31 totaled 4.- 908,455 tons, a decrease of 20.085 tons from July. Boston, Mass., Sept. 10. Mrs. Char lotte Smith demanded today that girl stenographers be kept in wire cages while working. Mrs. Smith was addressing a meet ing of the Women's Homestead asso ciation, of which she is president. She said: "Just as soon as the stenographer enters the office the employer ogles her, draws out a box. of candy and gets nearer. A young girl can't do any thing but bear it. Many a girl is afraid to resent it cn account of her position. These old sinners take ad vantage of it. It s got to stop. "I would have a law passed that no man can have a female stenographer in his ornce without a wire cage sur rounding her." Mrs. Smith also hinted darkly: "You don t know all that I do. Mrs. Frank W. Page said, however. that if wives would give their hus bands a little more affection, no wire cages would be needed. IN ORPHANS' HOMES Total, of 1,357 Homeless Children Cared For by Public. Fourteen private orphans' homes combined with the state orphans' home at Atchison in the care of 1,357 homeless children during the year ending July 1. That was the state ment today by J. W. Howe, secretary of the state board of control. Of the 1,357 children received by the several institutions 316 were re turned to relatives. Private orphans' homes for children cared for 152 col ored children during' the year. There are now 73 inmates of colored insti tutions and all of the children were cared for last year at an expense to the state of not more than $2,000. In a statement of conditions today. Secretary Howe pointed out the need for a home for crippled children. "Kansas should own or support a home or institution where crippled children would receive care and pro per treatment," said Howe. "With a separate building at Atchison, these children could be cared for at a min imum expense. The cripples should not be in the same school or permit ted to mingle too freely with other children." It is probable that the question of separate provision for crippled chil dren will be presented to the next leg LABOR SPURNS PEACE Trades Union Congress Turns Down Appeal to Parliament. Bristol. Sept. 10. The trades union congress, representing more than 3, 000,000 organized English working men, rejected by an overwhelming vote today a resolution calling upon the parliamentary committee of the labor party to formulate and advocate terms of peace satisfactory to the working classes. The sponsor for the defeated reso lutions said that such a move had been made by German workmen, but thi:; argument brought him no supporters. Ramsay McDonald, labor member of parliament, in an address to the congress denied he or any other mem ber of the labor party in the hous9 had even counseled British working men to shirk their duty. The duty of every citizen, he said, was to defend the national honor. Receiver for Knights of Honor. St. Louis, Sept. 10. Charles A.

READY FOR A FIGHT The Mayor Hears That Jitney Ordi- nance Will Be Contested. ARE ON A STILL HUNT Entomologists Are Out After the San Jose Scale. That an effort would be made to have the city of Topeka enjoined from enforcing the provisions of its new jitney ordinance, was a rumor which circulated today, but it was not con firmed by any jitney operator. When Mayor House heard of the rumor he suspected that the jitney men possi bly were planning to adopt measures whereby the enforcement of the ordi nance could be delayed until after fair week in which time the jitney men ex pect to do a good business, and after which the Topeka Jitney company in tends to withdraw from the jitney business and use its cars in answer to special calls only. Without waiting for the rumor to be confirmed, city officials made their plans as to what course they would follow should the validity of the new ordinance be attacked. Under an emergency provision the city can pass an ordinance in one vneeting which be comes effective as soon as published. Plans are made for the city to pass new emergency ordinances just as fast as restraining orders may be is sued. "The jitney ordinance we have passed is the fairest to all parties con cerned of any jitney ordinance in any city of which we have knowledge, but if the jitney men start to making trou ble for the city they will make more trouble for themselves. We can go back to the original plan of requiring a bond, and instead of making the bond low as was planned, we can make it high enough to put them out of business. It will be better for the jitney men to be good and show sone appreciation of the fairness which Tias been dealt them." declared Mayor House.

Ellen McGuire, 19 year old girl forger, was today paroled to-her father. She de clared never again would she forge a check not even if she has a wear sack cloth. She did it before to buy finery. When two men called on Frank Conwell at his home, 1029 North Quincy street., last week, and told him that his trees were infected with San Jose scale and that they must either be treated or cut rfown, Conwell viewed them with suspicion. His un easiness was not allayed when they offered to treat the trees for $2. The men gave their names as Dr. J. H. Merrill and Mr. Baerg. They made no explanation of their business other, than that they were inspecting trees in an effort to stop the spread of the scale. Thursday afternoon Conwell met Fred Hess of 222 East Eighth street. In the course of their conversation, he learned that the tree inspectors had called on Hess, also. Both men were then certain that effort had been made to bunco them. Their belief was strengthened when they learned from Miss Etta Covell, city clerk, that there is no ordinance for the inspection of trees. Upon calling the state horticultural society they learned that Dr. Merrill represents the State Entomological so ciety and that Mr. Baerg is his assist ant. They further learned the men are on a still hunt for San Jose scale and they have authority to order any trees destroyed that are infected by the scale. And Conwell's trees were ordered destroyed.

Georgg Primrose, one of the famous minstrel stars is now in vaudeville and is playing at the Xovelty the last half of the week. Primrose was greeted warmly last night as many in the audience had seen him before in the noted "Primrose and Dockstader" show. He is still the mOst graceful soft shoe dancer of them all. Venita Gould's impersonations were exceptionally good. In her character ization of Nazimova, she held the un divided attention of her auditors, and her Williams and Walker songs made a hit. Rowland T ravers put on a very clever illusion. Carl Rifner's juggling was out of the ordinary and his work showed years of practice in attaining the perfection he now produces. Bert Spencer and Viola Klaiss were in "A Bit of Vaudeville," in which the dancing of Spencer lifted the act to a fair standard. Pathe news showing the national tennis tournament at Forest Hills, and other interesting events, was the pic torial selection. S. J. Koyal Family" Review.

TO SPOIL WOMAN'S BEAUTY She Threatened to Throw Vit 1 riol in Her Face. Girl Says Mohr Thought Wife "Wasn't Game." Providence, R. I., Sept. 10. "I have a right to shoot him. He is a beast. Persons wouldn't blame me and the law would not molest me if I did." This is only one of many remarkable statements attributed to Mrs. Eliza beth Blair Mohr today by Miss Flor ence Ormsby, the stenographer in the office of Dr. C- Franklin Mohr, Prov idence physician shot to death in his motor car on the night of August 13. Miss Ormsby motored from Provi dence to Montpelier, the magnificent villa of the slain doctor in Middle town on the outskirts of Newport. There she met John Andrews, the su perintendent of the splendid place, who is to share with Miss Ormsby the stellar honors for the state when Mrs. Mchr poos on tr'al charged with in spiring the murder of the doctor. Miss Ormsby there told newspaper correspondents the entire story as she told it to the Providence police. She said it would be her story on the stand. Miss Ormsby raid: The Story. "Miss Burger knew that Mrs. Mohr hated her. She knew that Mrs- Mohr intended to do her harm. The trouble was that she did not believe it. She believed the doctor knew and was very nervous, but he used to laugh and say: "Oh, my wife hasn't the nerve to do anything- She talks a lot but she will not do anything silly like that.' "But Mrs. Mchr would call Miss Burger on the telephone and tell her to quit the doctor unless she wanted to be hurt. "Wnen Mrs. Mohr called me up 'be fore the murder and toJd me not to go riding with the doctor that Tuesday night because she liked me and did not want to see me hurt, I told the doctor and told Miss Burger. Miss Burger paid no attention. Not Afraid of Brown. "The doctor was not afraid espe cially of Cecil Victor Brown. He would have thrown Brown out of his office had I not called him aside and calmed him. That occurred a day or two after the doctor ordered McAndrews to dis miss Brown because Brown and Mrs. Mohr were in conference together in the stable on the Newport place three weks before the murder.' Miss Ormsby continued: "Mrs. Mohr told me several times oh many times that she would make the doctor and Miss Burger sorry for their companionship. "Mrs. Mohr's jealousy that is what it was I am a woman and I know what women do and what the symp toms are became an obsession with her. She once accused poor mo. She was sorry afterwards, though, and said so. "When Mrs. Mohr heard Miss Burger was to be temporary house keeper at Montpelier." said Miss Ormsby, "she declared she would meet her husband and Miss Burger at the Bristol ferry and throw vitriol in her face. She said she would spoil Miss Burger's beauty so the doctor would not look at her." Son at Montpelier. C. Manning Mohr of Baltimore, son of the murdered doctor, was at Mont pelier watching the attorneys taking an inventory of Dr. Mohr's personal estate. He declared he expected there would be a fight over the estate but he held he had as great a right to it as Mrs. Mohr had. Miss Ormsby declared that often Dr. Mohr had expressed his desire to so frame a will that his wife and her two children could be entirely disinherited. It is accepted as final that the doctor died intestate. THREE POPULAR PRICES For fall and winter suitings and over coats. Prices ranging from $25.00, $30.00 and $35.00.

Bids for the furnishing of coal for the institutions of Shawnee county were opened this morning by the board of county commissioners. The contracts were not let because of the absence of James C.. Shimer, chairman of the board, whj was in Wakarusa, but from all indications the contracts wi'l go to the lowest bidders who are: The Top ka Coal company, 3.72 a ton to be furnished for indigent poor; Southwestern Coal company, $2.60 for slack and $2.85 for mill to be used at court house and county jail; Jack son and Walker. $3.17 a ton to be used at county poor farm, and Jackson and Walker $3.80 a ton for coal to be used at the Crittenton home. Rough estimates as to the coal used last year at the various institutions show that over 500 tons were used by the ind:gent poor, 2 80 tons at the court house and jail, 40 tons at the county poor farm, and 14 tons at the Crittenton home- SANTA FE NOTES.

Editor of State Journal: In last evening's State Journal ap peared an article which indicated that our city officers were having dif ficulty in distinguishing between a "jitney" and a "taxicab." As the writer sees it, a "jitney" is a gas pro pelled vehicle (usually a Ford built in part by former convicts at $5 per day) which will haul passengers for the modest sum of five cents. It enables RAILROAD ENGINEER Makes Interesting Statement About Many Troubles. J. B. Jester, of Lawton, Kansas, Gave Up His Position. LOST HIS HEARING Says He Suffered With Catarrh Which Was the Cause. Tried Tanlac and Claims He Improved in Every Way. J. B. Joster of Lawton, Kan., a for mer railroad engineer, made this in teresting statement recently: "I am a happy man now. I had been a sufferer from catarrh of the head, throat and nose which finally affected my stomach. I would wake in the morning with an offensive breath and would go about hawking, spitting and sniffing through the fore noon. "My eyes watered, my head felt full and my stomach bloated. Mv hearing was soon so affected that t had to give up railroading. Pains in my right side and kidneys were frequent. I was tired out. I did not enjoy my meals and hardly anything .1 ate agreed with me. I spent many rest less nights trying to sleep soundly. "I concluded to try this Tanlac, about which I had heard and read so much. After taking two bottles I find that I have greatly improved In every way and I am a happy man now." Catarrh of tho mucus membranes probably is the most prevalent disease known to mankind. Catarrh of the stomach and kidneys frequently causes dyspepsia and Bright's disease, and catarrhal conditions in the throat and nose l.-ad to inevitable deafness. Frequently the lungs become diseased by the extension of the catarrhal In flamation by way of the bronchial tubes to the lung substance. Tanlac was discovered to overcome this very trouble and to bring about an astonishing improvement in your spirits, appetite and general condition. Many are testifying to the many benefits derived from the master medicine which is being introduced into this city. "Tanlac is especially valuable in catarrhal affections of the muccus membranes," states Mr. Pope, the Tanlac man, "which I consider the foundation of most ailments and dis eases. People who are affected with catarrh of the head, throat and stom ach are generally moody and depress ed, with an occasional dull headache, accumulations in the nose and throat, affected memory and a depreciated sense of smell and taste, which finally results in an affected hearing." Tanlac can be bought at the Tully McFarland Drug store. Ninth and Kansas avenue, successors to Matt Weightman, in this city, where W. C. Pope personally is in charge of ex plaining the merits of the premier remedy. Adv. Taffeta Silk Petti coats, $1.95 the ordinary business man and wom an, the office man and woman, the clerk, the stenographer, the saleslady and in short the masses of the com mon people to ride comfortably to and from their place of business and em ployment for one jitney, five cents, a nickel, half a dime or the twentieth part of a dollar. A taxicab is likewise a gas pro pelled vehicle built in a luxurious style by some one other than Henry Ford, which will transport patrons for a minimum of 50 cents per. It is patronized by high officials, financiers and lawyers who collect fees of $8,325 and upwar.is for a divided service in a single case. Most of these can more easily afford to pay the 60 cents than the shop girl can afford to pay the five cents. The difference then be tween a taxicab and a jitney seems to be about 45 cents. Only yesterday a party of three came in on the Rock Island from the northwestern part of the state. Two or them are taking subordinate places in one of our colleges for the season. They debarked from the train and car ried their half a dozen suit cases to the curb. Here they were solicited to use a taxi. "What will you charge to take us to 616 Blank street," ask ed one of the trio. "One dollar and fifty cents" responded the driver. This was rather too rich for the short grass people, so they moved along the curb to where a Ford was anchored and asked the same question of its driver. Tho jitney man considered the distance, counted the suit cases and then answered "twenty-five cent3." In ten minutes the passengers were at their destination. The dif ference in this case is (1.25. The new ordinance imposes a li cense fee of twenty-five dollars on the vehicle which accommodates 95 per cer.t of our people, most of whom be long to the labor or producing class, and leaves undisturbed the fee of ten dollars on the vehicle which trans ports the people of wealth. Why the discrimination? This orbinance also forbids the jitney carrying more than its seating capacity. Suppose a quin tet of young ladies standing on a street corner with lunch baskets in hand awaiting a conveyance to take them to the city park for a quiet noonday luncheon. Along comes a Ford labeled "jitney." Its seating passenger capac ity is only four. The driver would be violating the law if he cumbered himself with the five passengers. The party does not wish to be separated, consequently awaits the coming of a street car. The car arrives. It is already over loaded. The seats are full, the aisle is full and the rear platform Is full. The motorman stops the car to give tho would-be passengers an opportun ity to crowd their way in. The gen tlemen on the platform courteously remove the cigars from their mouths and hug the rear rail to permit the ladies to squeeze themselves by and Into the interior of the car. Once in side, the ladies stand up hanging onto seat handles or grasping the straps above for the entire distance. They are jostled by their fellow passengers and the contents of the lunch baskets are not at all improved by the jour ney. Now, were it not for the letter of the law four of these young ladies could ride comfortably seated on the cushions of the jitney and without burden to any one the fifth one, the "feather weight" of the party, could easily have been cared for and would have found a welcome seat on the lap of one of her friends. Our commissioners, however, are to be congratulated because of the very few objectionable features incorpor ated in the jitney ordinance. In some sister cities laws have been enacted which literally put the jitneys out of business. If the citizens of those towns are conscious of their rights and awake to their duties they will see to it that after the next election the af fairs of their city are administered by a different set of city officials.

While abroad last year, a matron much envied fnr ber youthful looks, generously confided to me several little beauty secrets which I prize highly. One of the best of these is that straight hair can be made wavy and curly over night by merely ap plving a little liquid silmerine. Some peculiar attribute of this harmless fluid causes the hair to dry in the most exquis ite curls and waves, having all the ap pearance of true naturalness. Mv friends who have tried this are simply delighted. I find that pure liquid silmerine can be procured from any drug gist here, and a few ounces will keep the hair in enrj for several weeks. There's nothing gummy, greasy or messy about it; on the contrary, it is quite pleasant to use. I'm sure if you will try this tonight ap ply with a clean tooth brush a look in vour mirror tomorrow morning will give you a most agreeable surprise. Anita Amber's "Beauty Talks." Adv.

Miss Mabel Bartholomew, who has been at her home in Vermont, Illinois, during the summer, has returned to Topeka. to resume her duties as direc tor of the kindergarten department of the College of the Sisters of Bethany. The kindergarten opens the morning of September 13. The mothers of the children are asked to be present with the children on the first morning. The school has arranged for an autobus for the transportation of the children, and a teacher will always accompany the bus on its trips with the children, to and from their homes, and a careful driver has been em ployed. The Good Government club held its first regular meeting' of the new season Thursday afternoon at the Y. W. C. A. The club considered meant) of raising their pledge to the Wash burn fund. Individual subscriptions for the fund were sent in, and a food sale will be held soon in two of the large stores to make up the rest of the payment for the year. Miss Marguerite Gohlke. accom panied on the piano by Miss Myrtle Radcliffe, sang "Du Bist die Ruh," by Schubert, and "Come Into the Garden, Love," by Salter. Mr. L. A. Congdon, who' nas come to Topeka from North Dakota, to take a position in the board of health' and to inspect hotels, etc., was one or the speakers. He began his address by telling of the pernicious effects of Copenhagen snuff, which is advertised here under the name of a substitute, Right Cut tobacco. Mr. Congdon says that the substitute is practically iden tical with the original snuff, and he expects to submit an analysis of it to the club. He asks that they protest to the newspapers who advertise it. In his address he "urged the women to go to the stores to do their buying, to notice that their weights and meas ures are correct, to see if the stores are as clean as they ought to be and if those who handle the goods do it in a perfectly sanitary way. He also urged that the club work for a law :n the next legislature by which all peo ple who have to do with the handling of food be required to pass a physical examination. This includes waiters 'n hotels and restaurants, cooks in pub lic eating houses, workers in bakeries, etc., and those who handle goods in the grocery stores. He explained some thing of his work in connection with rooming house inspection, and his de termination to abolish the "blind room, as a safeguard against fire. Mrs. Clara Hazelrigg, an evangelist. who makes her home in Topeka, and who is now a member of the Good Government club, made an address. She spoke on child labor. "What we need principally in preventing child labor," she said, "is a national law forbidding the shipment of products made by children from an unprotected to a protected state. We need a realization on the part of our law makers that the children of the na tion are the hope of its future, and that their work in all that it concerns the health and development of the children, is constructive statesman ship. We need carefully kept records of births and deaths. In England, Russia and Prussia, the officials re quire the utmost care in selecting their inspectors. Their inspecting officers have to have a thorough training, and cannot hope to be placed in any such office under thirty years of age. In many of our states the appropriations are too small, and politics enters into the distributions of the jobs too much. One man was chosen an inspector :n one of our states because he was the man who came from a district where the party vote needed strengthening. A woman should be on every inspec tion board. In some of our states mes senger boys as young as nine year"?. work at nights in the vilest parts of our large cities. In other places girls Don't Use Soap on Your Hair When you wash your hair, don't use soap. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and make the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut cil, for it is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather. cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evanly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han dle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt And dan druff. Adv. go on the streets as bootblacks. De fective children, in many places are put to work, instead of receiving pro tection and treatment by specialists to improve their mental and physical condition." Mrs. Hazelrigg also spoke of the lack of fire protection in many of the factories where .children are obliged to work. r The Good Government club will cel ebrate the passage of the amendment enfranchising Kansas women, with a supper party the night of November 7. The husbands of the members. will be guests, and the party will be held in the dining hall of one of the churches. Mr. F. A. Derbv of the Derby Grain company, has bought the property at the northwest corner of Ninth and Western avenues and is building a handsome new residence. The house is to be of vitrified brick, with all the new arrangements in house building, such as a garage in connection with the house, etc.: The family will move from their present home, 1201 West ern avenue, to their new house as soon as it is completed. The Derby family moved to Topeka from Sabetha' about two years ago. Mrs. Derby is a harpist of ability, and plays in a trio that ie. popular in Tj peka, the other members of which are Miss Gladys Gaw and Miss Violet Crumbine. The J. R. Kountz family have re turned home from a trip of a few weeks to California. Miss Marguerite Koontz, during her absence visited the fashionable dancing exhibitions at the coast during her stay in the west, be ing particularly interested in the aesthetic dancing displays by the great performers, many of whom are in Cal ifornia this season on account of the expositions. She has returned to resuma her work as instructor, meet ing her classes the first week in Oc tober. The following story from a Colorado Springs paper, concerns the wife of Mr. J. W. Mayberry of Emporia, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. May berry of Topeka ard who formerly lived here: One of the few remaining blood relatives of Gen. Zebulon M. Pike, Mrs. J. W. Mayberry of Emporia, Kan., was a visitor in Colorado Springs yesterday. Mrs. Mayberry is the granddaughter of the late Mrs. Sarah Wardell Sturdevant of Larned, Kan., and the latter, at the time of her death four years ago, was the only living contemporaneous relative of General Pike. Mrs. Sturdevant was his niece and was born in April, 1812, the year before Pike was killed by a magazine explosion in the assault on York. Mr. and Mrs. Mayberry are returning to Emporia, where the former is a mem ber of the faculty at the Kansas State Normal school, after spending the last six weeks on the western coast. One of the girls of the head set went on a real devilish lark the other even ing. There was a man along, but one doesn't tell his name. If you will let your thoughts rest on the. chap who was never known to break loose will ingly from more than ten cents at a time, you will know where the shoe pinches. Well, the two started cut on this lark, the girl with the avowed inten tion of- making him spend. Conse quently, just before they started for town, she discovered that her father's automobile was it- the repair shop; at least she felt sur it ought to -be, and that amo.unted-tp the same thing. So it was jitney, for .ithem. They visited two picture shows, and after that vi sions of a. little something to eat or drink came into the mind of the young woman. The man, howtver, didn't catch her thought, but started for a street car, with his visions settled on a nice, comfy little twosome supper at the girl's home. "The girl paused at a candy shop window on the way to the transfer station. "My, doesn't that candy look good?" said she. "Uh huh," said the man. "supposing we make some fudge -when we get home." And with that he deftly piloted her away from the danger line.

The new fall blouses are rightly designated for few and .far between are the females who won't fall for them. Such exquisiteness is theirs as has never been before or behind either for they are much ornamented in the rear. They are more bouffant for one thing and require divers lengths of diaphanous material to complete their sheer entirety. Georgette crepe, chiffon and crepe de chine continue to be the favorite mediums. Fur. lace and metallic embroideries are the fav ored garnishments. One unique model of white crepe de chine is absolutely plain in front with a deep sailor collar of white silk plush in the back that :s edged with a frange of sassy little black and white ermine tails. The long sleeves are caught together at the cuff with a single tiny tail and there you are the tale of this blouse is ended. A stunning blouse for an elderly woman (if there is ar.y such thing) is of grey chiffon and black lace with a banding of skunk around the neck and down each side of the front to the bust line. Tha sleeves which have a cap top of lace and full undersleeves of the chiffon are cuffed in the fur. The lace is set in the back to form a point from the shoulders to the waist line and in front extends from the shoulders straight down each side of the fur bands. Combinations, of materials and of two colors are distinctly smart. Of those that seek their contrasting color in fur the white waists combined with skunk and the yellow with skunk are perhaps the loveliest. Chiffon and velvet waists are also rich and effective. A Russian green velvet waist with sleeves and yoke of the same shade of chiffon has for sole adornment a choker collar of bear with a greenish gold metallic rose snuggling coyly on the left side. A vivid striped velvet of grey, black scarlet and yellow has a high collar of astrakhan and the long flaring bell sleeves are deeply banded with the same. The colored waists of Jersey silk promise but a dubious following for fail although the fur trimmed sweat ers of heavy wool or silk have been shaken off of the sumrmr girl's fair shoulders only to descend gracefully and fittingly upon those of Miss Autumn. They' are sure to be decid edly smart-well up into November for wear with tailor made skirt of serge, velvet and even taffeta. For yes, taf feta is to be a fall fabric this year as well as a perennial spring one. Quite the cleverest of the tailored oat suits are fashioned of this silk and eombined with fur to give them a bit more stability. Although military styles and trench fashions are trying to retrench they have suffered almost a total defeat in the Autumn mode encounters. With the exception of the preva lence of Russian coats, turbaned and full skirted a la Cossack, and a gleam ing gold tassel or so a la Belgian of ficer little or no militarism has been allowed to gain neadway against the lines of the allied a la modes. It certainly brooks much for fash ionable peace that the awful on slaught of military helmets, turbans, The Mills Stores Company Wishes to Greet the People of Topeka and Vicinity We desire to say that we are ready for fall business, and hope to serve all this store's regular patrons, as well as many new customers during the sea son now opening.

That is of course It is as circumspect as fem inine headgear could ever be. Really very little exaggerations is shown as yet in the fall hat models and either the closa fitting little round and tri coin shapes of velvet are effected or the ultra large round floppy velvet shapes. A one color scheme has gripped the little hat and odd bizarre shades have been evolved to meet the needs of a one tcned hat that will at the same time be sufficiently strik ing. Royal purple, mahogany and a bright Prussian blue are a few of the colors used and a variation on the ever popular cerise is also offered.

W 'r i r 1 a w BRINGING UP FATHER VOlll A I Mr IS.JKi- Yo HAVE AOOD f-Ulfnia.KlTN 1 1 ACTUALLY (iEATS, 1l IN NORTHTOPEKA Bids in for Survey of Soldier and Indian Creeks. County Commissioners Locate the New Grantrille Road. Bids have been received by the North Topeka Drainage board for the topographical survey of Indian and Soldfer creeks and as soon as several formalities are completed, the survey will be commenced. These formalities must be gone through with before the bonds that will be issued to raise the funds to carry on the work are valid, according to members of the board. It is expected that the survey will be well started in the early part of next month. The idea of waiting until December has been discarded. It would be impossible to complete the improvements along the two streams before next summer if the survey were delayed until December, members of the drainage board say. The improvements along the streams will be made with the idea of protecting- the property of farmers through whose land the creeks flow. It is generally believed that dikes will be relied upon mainly, to afford pro tection to property. Considerable re lief will be obtained also, it is thought, toy straightening several wide bends in tha? streams. Commissioners Ixjok lload Over. 'With a view of determining the lo cation of a road to Grantville, mem bers of the board of county commis sioners went over the old road Thurs day afternoon. While no definite ac tion has been taken, the commission ers believe they have mapped out a course for the proposed highway. Ac cording to the route proposed by the county commissioners all that remains of the old road will be utilized. Where the old road was washed away near the Union Pacific tracks, the commis sioners would move the route across the Union Pacific right of way. The stretch of the old road that was wash ed away is between a half and three quarters of a mile in length and be gins a mile and a half northeast of the limits of Xorth Topeka. Saved Old Stan's Life. A tragedy was averted early this morning when Al Martin, flagman at the Union Pacific crossing on North Kansas avenue, pulled an old n-.an from the tracks as a fast freight train was beaiint; down on him- The old man, who refused to give his name, is totally deaf and failed to hear the train or the shouts of those who tried to warn him. He apparently suffered no shock from the narrow margin by which his life was saved and after the train passed, went on his way. The man is bent with age and walked with the assistance of a cane. Two policemen at "he station and several bystanders beiieved that he would wait near the tracks for the train to pais and consequently no ef fort was made to step him. They were too far from him to reach him in time when they saw that he had no intention of stopping. Martin, who was holding up traffic while the train passed through, was standing but a few feet from the man and jerked him from the tracks. As the old man was jerked from the tracks the engine touched his coat sleeve. Wlio Scared the Cops? Two North Topeka policemen spent several uncomfortable hours early this morning. For some reason thpt the officers are unable to give, the lights in a number of business houses suddenly went out at 3:30 o'clock this morning. The first thought that entered the heads of the officers, one the policeman who reg ularly covers the North Side at night, and the other a merchant policeman, was that a concerted effort was being ms.de to rob the houses that were without lights. It was not until they had made a thorough search. that they were somewhat reassured. Worry had not completely left them, however,- until thty were relieved latei in the morn ing. Notes and Personals.

This Week's On Sale To-day Two Beautiful Color Pages pfm Paintings From Panama Exposition ALL NEWS-STANDS TEN CENTS Dresden. Kan., Sept. 10. This De catur county town is &on well enough In stock shipments to warrant new yards. The Rock Island is build ing larger and more modern stock yards, the increase of business hav ing outgrown the old yards. There is something doing in the hog trade when Fred Bremen, one of the largest and most successful hog raisers in this section of the state, sells as high as 500 hogs in a week. He has received checks as high as $9,000 for one sale of hogs. He is in the hog business exclusively, his ranch being only a few miles from Dresden. At this time he has over 700 head. J. W. Tibbets believes this section of Decatur county and Kansas Is all right for raising and feeding sheep. He tried it with a few hundred last year and this winter will double the herd. Several others will feed sheep here this winter. Mr. Tibbets expects in the next few years thousands of head of sheep will be red and wintered around Dresden. Dresden is a good enough trade and business center to support two banks. The First State bank naving outgrown its present home will move into its new modern brick building about the first of November. Dresden had a paper named the Sunflower for several years. It moved away to greener pastures. THE USE OF FKRTIXJZKn. Profitable in Southeast Uplands But Not in Western Kansas. Manhattan, Kan., Sept. 10. The farmer who grows wheat on the up lands in southeastern Kansas cannot afford under most conditions not to use a fertilizer with it. Fertilizers may not pay on some soil in this re gion such as the black limestone and the more fertile red limestone soils. Upon the brown sandstone and shale soils and upon the white shale soils, fertilizers where properly used are usually highly profitable. The. Kansas State Agricultural col lege in the last four years has con ducted experiments with fertilizer upon the farms of a large number of farmers in nearly every section of Kansas. These tests have shown that fertilizers seldom pay on wheat west of the flint hills, but east .of them in the southern part of the state, fertil izers have been very remunerative upon the types of soils mentioned. "A prejudice exists among some farmers against the use of commer cial fertilizers." said L E. Call, pro fessor of agronomy, today. "They be lieve that the fertilizers in come way injure the soil, thus making it neces sary to continue using them if the soil is to be productive. Nothing in a commercial fertilizer will in any way injure the soil. One cannot, however, depend upon fertilizers alone. They must be UBed in connection, with a ro tation of crops, with green manuring, and with barnyard manure in order to maintain the supply of organic matter." CAX DISCOVER XO REASON. Mystery Surrounds Disappearance of Eriitlt Gobin of Pratt. Pratt. Kan., Sept. 10. A mystery which has baffled the effort of all of the officers who have been employed in the case surrounds the sudden dis appearance of Miss Edith Oobin, daughter of John obin, a wealthy citizen of this city. Did Miss Gobin run away? Was she kidnaped? Or has she met with foul play? No satisfactory answers to any of these questions have been obtained. The daughter, who is 18 years of age and decidedly pretty, left her father's house last Friday at noon, while other members of the family were at the table. She did not leave a single clew behind to let the other members of her family know where and for what reason she left. THRESHER FCEW TO PIECES. Peculiar Accident Wrecks Separator in Pawnee County Wheat Field. Larned, 'Kan.. Sept. 10. An un usual thing happened to the threshing machine owned by the five Zook brothers and Will Collins. In some way the governor on the engine be came stuck and the engine "ran away." The high speed was trans mitted to -the separator by the drive belt, and in an instant the cylinder flew to pieces from centrifugal force. The sections of the cylinder were thrown downward with great force, completely wrecking the threshing part of the machine. It is being re paired from cylinder parts of an old separator of the same size and will soon be in working order again. HOTjD PAGEANT AT MANHATTAN.
