Receivers Would Raise Price at Kansas Points. Application for a rehearing of the gas rate case was filed with the pub lic utilities commission late this after noon by receivers for the Kansas Nat ural Gas company. In their applica tion the receivers ask for a 37 cent rate at all points in Kansas north of Independence. The petition for a rehearing is fild as a result of the supreme court de cision stating that the gas company was entitled to a just compensation for its service. The utilities commission had indicated that under certain con ditions it would order a 28 cent rate. Then Judge Flannelly took hold of the case and ordered a 30 cent rate. The supreme court set aside the Flannelly order and declared that the utilities commission's order was no order at all. It was also indicatd by the supreme court that provision must be made for the second mortgage bond holders, whom the receivers declared were left In the cold by the commission's find ings. The receivers also ask that the creditor's agreement be ibserved and that the rate for natural gas be in creased to 37 cents a thousand feet. The application for a rehearing of the gas cane is signed by John M. Landon and R. S. Litchfield as receiv ers. Names of Stone McDermott of Topeka; T. S. Salathiel, Independ ence, Chester I. Long, Wichita, and O. P. Krgenbright, Independence, appear as attorneys for the petitioners. ANOTHER TROPICAL STORM SWEEPS UP GOLF COAST Washington, Oct. 7.

Young and Hanlon made a partial examination of the building today, at the request of.W. L. Porter, city com missioner of parks end public buildings. Porter has asked for the findings of their examination to be reduced to writing in the form of a report to the city commission. V-- line-Joists SplH. The city engineer and the fire chief 'went down in the basement of the building and made a careful examina tion of only the west half of the floor. They found sixty of the big two-by-sixteen-inch joists split along the cen ter from end to end. "Just about every other joist has sheared along the center. Many of these joists are thirty feet long from support to support. To 'make the floor safe these long spans should be strengthened by center supports," said Young. The dangerous condition of the auditorium has been the subject of several reports prepared by Chief Hanlon. Conditions have been report ed so often that Hanlon expressed the belief that another report would be useless and Porter had to insist upon a written report. Porter says it is his intention to in sist that the Auditorium be made safe, and backed up by written reports from the fire chief and the city en gineer, he will recommend that the needed repairs be made and the cost paid out of the miscellaneous fund. This is the first time the matter has been taken up under the present ad ministration. One of the boilers of the heating plant in the building is out of commis sion and for the last two days em ployees in the city hall have shivered while the heat from the one working boiler was diverted to the Auditorium to make things comfortable there for the baby show. All the pipes in one boiler must be replaced with new ones. This boiler was inspected last summer, but the dampness of the sea son has caused the pipes to rust while they were not in use. Fire escapes' for the gallery of the Auditorium is also a matter receiving consideration. "This is up to the state." said Joseph Hanlon. "A state law says how such buildings must be equipped. There ehould be a fire exit serving the center of the gallery, and other safety equipment is needed. I have called the attention of L. J. Hussey. state fire marshal, to- the matter, and I understand an inspection has been made, but I do not know what report, if any, has been turned in." NEWGATlSUSED Germans Employ New Death Cloud in Champagne. Prussic Acid Believed to Be Basis of Latest War Agent. Paris, Oct. 7. A new kind .of gas apparently Is being used by the Ger mans in the fighting in the Cham pagne. Details regarding its effect were given Dr. Lucien Dumont by suf- tM v"cu w ancuu i alii According to the written statements of three men who fought respectively at Souaen, Suippes and Moranville, they were surrounded for a few sec onds by clouds of deep green gas of a rather pleasar.t odor. These men as serted that soldiers who wore no masks soon were suffocated, while those with masks lost consciousness for varying periods. Upon regaining consciousness at field dressing sta tions, they said they suffered convul sive seizures, resembling epileptic fits. Upon their arrival at the Paris hospi tal they were found to have a very weak pulse and to be suffering from general prostration, but showed none of the symptoms hitherto associated witr gas poiscn 20TH VETS HERE One Hundred Kansas Volun teers in Topei.

Follow (Continued on Page 4.) to bOildviaduct City and Railway Companies Come to Agreement. $100,000 Structure Will Be of Reinforced Concrete. As the result of a conference today between reppresentatives of the city of Topeka; the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company; the Missouri Pacific Railway company, and the To peka Street Railway company, an agreement was reached whereby it is believed that a new viaduct over Sixth street will be built by the railway- companies, without the necessity of the city instituting legal proceedings. The only possibility of a disagree ment between the city and the rail way companies is over the kind of a viaduct to be constructed, and the chances of such a disagreement are considered remote. Another conference will be held October 2 2 and at that time the rail way companies will present plans of the structure they propose to build, and it is probable that the city offi cials will agree to these plans. Plans Are Prepared. The city has already prepared plans of the structure the city wants. It would be of reinforced concrete and would cost approximately $100,000. What the railway companies wish to bu'.ld is a steel structure encased in concrete and which would cost $60, 000 to $75,000, which is of the same pattern adopted for viaducts in other cities. All the railway representatives took the position that since they are to build the viaduct, that it should be done as quickly as possible, and that as they are to. maintain it after it is constructed that a good, substantial affair should be built. The conference was held in the of fice of C. AV. Kouns, general manager of the Santa Fe. The city was repre sented by Jay E. House, mayor, and George P. Haydea, city attorney. A. C. Munson of St. Louis, division en gineer of the Missouri Pacific, and W. A. S. Bird, attorney, represented the Missouri Pacific. W. R. Smith, solicitor for Kansas for tl e Sar.ta Fe, and C. W. Kcuns, general manager, represented the Santa Fe, and Thom as Doran and Albert Patten were present in behalf of the Topeka Street Railway company. MRS. SMITH DIES Mother of W.

The funeral was held today and the state printing plant was closed at 2:30 o'clock until after the funeral. Mrs. Smith was the widow of George W. Smith, a pioneer resident of Lecompton. Mrs. Smith had lived in Lecompton for fifty years. She id survived by three sons. Dr. Roy Smith of Colorado, Dr. Clyde Smith of Wis consin and W. R. Smith.

More than a hundred babies have been examined during the first three days of the contest and while a few of them have been found lacking, child hygiene conditions in Topeka have been found good. Adenoids, en larged tonsils, improper feeding and impure air have been the principal setbacks for the youngsters, discovered by the doctors and nurses. Spring Today. Scoring began again this morning at 1 0 o'clock. The following experts were in charge: Mrs. H. B. Lautz, de velopmental and mental; Drs. C. F. Menninger and A. H.

"Topekans have never before realized the importance of such a contest," said W. L. I'orter, city commissioner. Mothers at the auditorium are be ing shown their choice of futures for their baDie3 the treadmill of disease and failure or the stairway of health. And not a litde of the child's fixture depends upon the history of the par ents, doctors point out. Heredity is one of the strong factors which the experts say the present and future generations must combat. Perfect health for children and grownups is a thing that does not ex ist, according to displays and litera ture at the auditorium. Dr. Wroods, city health officer, oontends that the medical man who attempts to sell an individual, young or old, perfect health is selling a modern gold brick. Glaring and brilliant as well as com plicated toys are under the ban of the officials of the show. The simple life for the child is being advocated. Miss Edith Lacey, head of the health nursing association, said this morning: "Give the child simple playthings, simple diets, don't pet it or surround it with too many to;-s." Babies' Clothes. One of the principal faults which the nurses and doctors are finding with mothers is that they dress their babies with too many clothes. "This make them too much of the 'hot house' variety, says Mis3 Lacey, "and they catch colds serious ones very easily when taken out doors" There have been perfect babies found at the auditorium a number of thtm. A visitor sidled up to a doctor th'S morning and put the Question of just how many perfect youngsters had been examined, expecting to receive an answer telling of one or two. The number of perfect youngsters was placed at a dozen by one of the doc tors.

PROVIDE BANKING INSURANCE Incorporate Own Company Among Kansas Financiers. (May Save Thousands Annually in Big Premiums. Twenty prominent Kansas state bankers, officers and members of the State Bankers' association, are in To peka today to discuss rural credit leg islation. Sentiment among the money lenders was divided as to the merits of such legislation as affecting Kansas farmers and an investigation of the j plan will be continued by a special committee. W alter L. Payne of Burlingame, chalr- man of special committer investi- gating Rural Credit legislation. Since List spring the Kansas bank ers have been studying the rural cred it plan. In June the executive com mittee appointed a special committee to investigate the policy of rural cred its under state or federal enactments. Walter E. Payne of Burlingame, chair man ojfvjthe committee, today filed a UbiKtby report- covering details of pro posed legislation and operations of credit laws- in foreign countries. He also suggested in his report that pro vision might be made under certain conditions that would enable Kansas banks to establish rural credit depart jnents and solve the problem of credit to farmers who desire to own their land. West Unfavorable. Western Kansas "bankers did not look on the rural credit plan with favor, however. Otis L. Benton of Oberlin, and John E. Wagner of Lrned both opposed the plan. They did not believe in the policy of long time loans, asserting that Kansas tarmers would not accept them, i "Kansas farmers are optimists," said Wagner. "If they were not they would not be Kansas farmers espa cially western Kansas farmers." Benton asserted that rural credit laws were not necessary to provide ample assistance for any worthy farmer. "Send me any man with $2,000 and I will sell him a section of land by the payment of one-half of his mon ey," said Benton. "He can use the other half for working capital. He can have twenty years to pay and I won't press him for interest in bud crop years." Believe Plan Feasible. Members of the special committee Walter L. Payne, E. L. Wickizer and J. L. Raines were certain 'hat a plan might be worked out that would bear inspection and meet with general ap proval. "Your committee is egotisticul enough to believe that with time we could formulate a plan for use in this state," said Payne in his report. "This plan would be of great good and would permit the renter and the am bitious young man just starting on his life work to produce a farm and home with every assurance that with due diligence he would become the own er." Two members of the state associa tion will be named late today as ad ditional members of the rural credit committee to work out a solution t the farm loan law agitation.

Speculative War Shares Show Substantial Gains. Xew York, Oct. 7. Yesterday's turbulent reaction in prices on the stock market was largely retrieved in today s dealings. The ease with which substantial recoveries were made sug gested that the market had been oversold in the preceding session as a result of the cautionary attitud" t.iken by the stock exchange authori ties. Many of the more speculative war shares showed gains of one to three points at the outset. Bethlehem steel was again the fore most feature, an initial quotation of 409 representing an overnight gain of nine points and surpassing its previous recoril by tight points.

WILSON TO MARRY President's Engagement Over shadows State Questions. i i t ll Auuuuutriurui oui p-i intra Except His Intimates. Washington, Oct. 7. Congratula tions came from officials, diplomats, friendK and relatives, of President Wil son today following announcement of his engagement to Mrs. Norman Gait, I of Washington. The fact that the president of the United States, on whom the ejx-s of the world have fre quently been focused in the last few months of the European war, had de cided to marry again, gave the na tional capital a topic of absorbing in terest which, for the moment over shadows all questions of international or domestic politics. The news came as a surprise to all but a few intimate friends who knew that the friendship of the president for Mrs. Gait had developed into an Intimacy that presaged marriage. That Mrs. Gait had become a companion of the president was known, however, in official and society circles, because Mrs. Gait appeared frequently with him, not only on motor rides, but at baseball games. His incessant tabor alone in the White 'House during the period of mourning had affected his spirits. When he began to take a renewed in- (Continued ou I'aga Z.)

They came up the Missouri river from Bt. Louis, Mo., to Kansaii City, Mo., by steamboat, the trip consuming the greater part of six days. After they left Kansas City, or Westport as It was then known, they went to Law rence. Colonel Gordon took a claim just south of the town.

A gigantic offen- j ive movement, with Russian, French j and British armies delivering simul-j taneous blows against the Germans was planned bv the allied general staff, according to information reach- j ing here todav.

Germans Are Weakening. Paris, Oct. 7. Terrific hammering by French artillery has worn down the German power of resistance in the Champagne region, according to dis patches received here today. The Ger man second line trenches are crum pling under the heavy pounding of shells and there are indications that the enemy's lines are about to give wav on a wide front. The capture of Tahure, and the Tahure heights, reported In last night's Communique, was accomplished with comparatively light losses for the French. French guns blotted out Ger man redoubts and trenches and level ed a few small buiunngs concealing t enemy guns. A few intantry regimems stormed the remaining works and bayoneted the German occupants. The victory was one of the most important successes gained by the French since the initial drive in the Champagne sent the enemy out of b,is first line.

The question whether Bill Killif.?r will get into the series was still in doubt today: that is, as far the gen eral public was concerned. His lame arm was again examined by a New York expert yesterday. If Killifer cannot go behind the bat .omorrow Moran will be compelled to send in Burns. What differences this will make in the pitching of Alexander js hard to tell. The great twirler has been used to having Killifer on the re ceiving end, but Burns has worked well with the Nebraskan in the few games that he has caught him. The Boston Red Sox, who end -he American league season in New Yoi k today, will arrive here late tonight And will in consequence have little time for final practice. The team, how ever, is reported in good trim witn lit tle need of further preparation. Man ager Moran has invited Manager (.ar--igan to use the Phillies' playing field whenever he wants to.

WILSON TO MARRY (Continued from Pa ge O ne.) terest in personal affairs, his friends noted immediately a change for the better in his health and the energy with which he attacked tremendous problems before him. Mrs. Gait is regarded as a woman of rare beauty and charm. Those who have known her best predict that she will be, as the first lady of the land, a popular hostess as well as a comfort and support to the president in his daily work. Mrs. Gait is about 8 8 years old, youthful in appearance and simple in her tastes. She is the widow of a well known business man of Washington, who died eight years ago. She was married in 1896. Be fore that she was Miss Edith Boiling, of Wytheville, Va. Her father was William H. Boiling, a lawyer of dis tinction. Wedding Will Be Quiet. President Wilson and Mrs. Gait will be married probably the first week in December. The ceremony will be private, only a few close friends being invited, and will take place at the home of the bride on New Hampshire avenue, near Dupont Circle. Plans for the honeymoon have not been completed, but it was indicated today that the trip might include a visit to-the San Diego ex position. For the third time in American his tory a president of the United States will take a bride. In choosing to have the ceremony performed not in the White House, but at the home of the bride, Mr. Wilson follows a precedent set by President Tyler, who was mar ried in New York in the Church of the Ascension. President Cleveland, the only other chief executive to be married while in office, was married in the White House. Guests of Colonel House. President Wilson and Mrs. Gait will make thier first appearance together in public since the announcement of their engagement, tomorrow, in New York, where they go to a house party given by the president's close friend and unofficial adviser. Col. E. M. House. Tomorrow evening they will attend a theater party in New York and the next day, on the return toward Washington, will see the second game in the world's baseball championship series at Philadelphia.

Floral Gifts to ISride. Early today a messenger carried a great bouquet from the White House conservatories to Mrs. Salt's home. Mrs. GaJt, herself, besieged by friends coming to offer congratulations and interviewers, denied herself to all but her closest friends, and declined to add anything to the simple announce ment formally issued at the White House, saying only that she and the president of the United States were to be married. Tomorrow's party, given by Colonel House, will be only the first of many events which are being planned for the presidential party before the time for the wedding. Invitations and congratulations be gan pouring into the White House of fices today in such volume that, as on previous occasions when the White House had a wedding on hand, a spe cial staff of clerks was prepared for assignment to social work only for the next two months. Colonel House, who knew of the president's coming engagement long before the news was permitted to reach the public, planned his house party some time ago. Other close friends are planning prenuptial af fairs, and the White House which for more than a year has been observing a period of mourning, will begin to take on its old aspect of social activi ties and again become a center for many of the best known people in the American social circle. President Happy Man. The time of the wedding, coming probably almost at the opening of congress and the return of the diplo matic corps to the capital from the summer embassies, will signalize the full swing of the Washington social season, which now will include the usual state dinners and receptions in tne executive mansion. President Wilson went to his desk early today as usual and was greeted with congratulations by the White House staff and callers who began arriving immediately. He received congratulations with smiles and words of thanks, and evidently was a happy man. His first caller was Assistant Secretary Phillips of the state depart ment. Secretary Lansing followed, and then Senator Saulsberry of Dela ware. All the members of the cabinet sent their congratulations early in the day and some of them called later. ON TlGH "PLAIN (Continued from Page One. 2 o'clock with an organ selection by Miss Katherine Sentz and was fol lowed by addresses by a number of experts. Dr. Menninger's Address. In his address on "All for the Ba bies," Dr. C. F. Menninger implied that every woman who thinks she knows how to take care of her children may be working under a delusion. He said "mother love is not knowledge." Ma ternal instinct is not mother care, as human babies cannot be brought up like little wild animals. "Babies need attention and care from their mothers rather than pit ting, amusement and misdirected love. Proper love discovers the. needs of the baby and supplies them, rather than to cater to lnfantisms. The number of deaths of babies under one-year of a?e is greater than the number of deaths from any other single cause the world over. It is maternal care and atten tion and proper systematic educational work" which will prevent these deaths. Practical medicinal supervision of in fant health and mother health is need ed rather than the charitable relief work for which so jmuch money is spent. "The handing out of raw vegetables docs not save infant lives so much as the sending into the home of a. well trained nurse who will show the moth er what to do and how to do it. To accomplish this saving of lives of in fants everybody must Join hands for a concerted action, under a single man agement to prevent duplication of ac tivities. There should be co-operation between the state, the city, the parent, the physician, the infant spe cialist and th trained nurse. This is the work which is now being under taken in Topeka of which Baby Week is but the beginning." Dr. Twis9 Talks. Following Dr. Menninger, Dr. Edith M. Twiss spoke on the biological ap-, proach to sex education. Parents who do not teach their children sexual knowledge commit one of the most serious crimes known, Dr. Twiss be lieves. She said: There is no room for debate as to whether or not sex "education should be given children. It is given now; too often in the worst and most vul gar way. We have to strive, therefore, that the proper kind of information be given in the right way, at the right time, by a person of high ideals. "To be effective sex education must begin very early and in the home. Later the school must share with the home the hygienic and moral care of the child. No system of education, particularly education at public ex pense, is complete which neglects what ought to be one of the strongest factors working for more "better babies" education for parenthood. "The approach to the final direct application of sex problems to the hu man race should be made by a study of sex first in plants and then in the lower animals. The cultivation of a truly scientific attitude in this study will do much toward eradicating vul garity. "The stimulation to high ideals should be a most important part of sex education." Tho Quarantine Problem. Raising quarantine in diphtheria was discussed by Dr. Sarah E. Greenfield.- This evening's meeting will be presided over by J. Will Kelley, sec retary of the Commercial club. Moving pictures of special intsrest to farm ers and dairymen as well as to the public will be shown. Serum and vac cine films will be included. GOETHALS WON'T QUIT Canal Zone Governor Withdraws Resignation on Account of Slides. Panama. Oct. 7. Major General George W. Goethals has withdrawn his resignation as governor of the Pan ama canal zone.

Further than to make this announce ment and to say that he had cabled Secretary of War Garrison, withdraw ing his resignation, which was to have Become effective November 6, Gen eral Goethals had nothing to say con cerning the canal. He did not seem worried over the situation, but eager to enter upon the work of combating the slides. He will discus the situa tion tomorrow with Lieutenant Col onel Chester Harding, engineer of maintenance, and afterward make a personal study of the slides. MISSING GIRL FOUND Topeka Officers Capture Mexican W ith 15-Y'car-Old Illinois Girl. Through the efforts of Topeka po lice officials and Sheriff L. L. Kiene's force E. A. Cauthon of Sheffield, 111., has been able to find his 15-year-old daughter, Velma, who disappeared from her home sometime ago with Carlos Ruis, a Mexican. Ruis and the young girl were caught in Wichita Wednesday. They went there from Topeka Tuesday night in order to escape the local off icers.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, Oct. 7. WHEAT Despite a rush of buying orders and a consequent new upturn iu prices, the wheat market today was by no means one sided. Predic tions that the government report would enlarge the estimate of the spring crop seemed to handicap the bulls. It was said the report would not take into consider ation the damage that has been done this week.

The close was unsettled at c to lVc net decline, with December at $1.05',i and May at $1.00. t'OKN Corn showed strength owing to a forecast of freezing weather. n the advance, however, country houses took the selling side. After opening Vsc off to e higher the market steadied at a moderate general advance. Profit taking by longs tended after ward to bring about a reaction.

Exports from the United States and Can ada yesterday were 1,349.000 bushels of wheat. 35.000 barrels of flour and 1,000 bushels of oats; wheat and flour comblued, 1,507,000 bushels.

Elevator stocks of wheat in Kausas City have decreased 19.235 bushels thus far this week and corn stocks decreased 178 bush- I els. A cable from Italy says: "Weather is wet, with floods. and harrestiug and threshing of wheat is seriously delayed. The fact that heavy foreign purchases are being made and arrivals averaging 2 million bushels weekly, at a time when native wheat should be plentiful, is causing doubts as to the correctness of the esti mated requirements as given out by offi cials.

Demaree, Mayer and Alexander worked in the order named in the first game. Cra vath made his twenty-fourth home run drive of the season, but did not play In the second contest. Hard hit ting in the third inning of the closing event gave the home team the victory. Both managers made numerous changes in the lineups, Moran desir ing to give his substitutes a chance in case of an emergency in the games with the Boston Red Sox for the world's title.

Acknowledge Receipt of Challenge. Chicago, 111., Oct. 7. Charles Weeghman, president of the Chicago club of the Federal league, has re ceived a reply to his telegram chal lenging the winner of the American and National league pennants for a se ries to settle the world s champion ship title in major league baseball. August Hermann, chairman of the na tional commission, in replying to the challenge, said he had sent a copy of it to his colleagues "lor their in formation and consideration." worse ever Kessler Will Not Be in Wash hurn Game Saturday. Lack of One Hour's Work Makes Him Ineligible. Washburn's chance of entering .he Baker game at Baldwin Saturday with the odds even flickered rather low Wednesday afternoon when it was an nounced that Kessler, one of the best of the new men, lacked an hour's credit to be eligible and probably would have no chance to make it up, and that Dehn had decided to quit the team because of heavy college work. Up until 3 o'clock Wednesday after noon it was thought Kessler was O. K., but just before the squad went out to the field Coach Gray was notified he needed one hour. "He may be able to make it up," Gray said, "but I doubt it." Kessler played in the game against Cooper and made as good a showing as any man on the team. Last season he was one of the stars of the fresh man squad. Dehn's decision to turn in his moleskin came as a complete sur prise. With Kessler, Villipigue, Dehn and Bearg out and Sullivan unable to sub at quarter, the Ichabods will go to Baldwin in a most ragged condition. And over-confidence, their fatal fault in the Cooper game, is not very likeiy o cause trouble this week. Last Hard Practice. This afternoon the last stiff prac tice before the game will be held. The team will leave for Baldwin Saturday morning at 7:30. Among the players who will probably make the trip are: Billings, Logan, Rice, Linge, Stewart, Newell. Captain Beals, McCosh. Muir head, Champeny, Harvey, Heller, In field, Pettyjohn, Drake, Groth, Colvin and Kessler if he can make up his back work. Coach Gray announced Wednesday afternoon that it has been definitely settled that the Aggie-Washburn rame will not be played on Thanksgiving day. Neither will it be played on the same day the Nebraska-K. U. game will be played at Lawrence, as has been thought. The Washburn-Aggie game will be played on Friday, November 12, and the Nebraska-K. U. game on Satur day, November 13. This will give those who divide their affection be tween the Ichabods and the Jayhawk ers a chance to see both games. Cliange Expensive. "We could have changed the Agie game to Thanksgiving." Coach Gray said, "but it would have cost us more money than we could afford to p-y. The Aggie coach's contract calls for the season to close on the 12th or 13th and we would have had to pay his sal ary from that date until Thanksgiving to get the date changed, and we did not feel like doing this." Saturday week Washburn will go to Lincoln to play Nebraska and all Washburn students are taking a keen interest in the outcome of the Aggie Nebraska game this Saturday. Dope from the Aggie-Nebraska game will be figured in the following manner: Southwestern and Cooper played a 7 to 7 tie; the Aggies beat Southwestern 9 to 0, and Cooper beat Washburn 6 to 0. From these results and the re sult of the Aggie-Husker game, the dopesters hope to get some kind of a line on both Nebraska and the Farmer Boys. It is generally conceded that the Lincoln eleven will win Saturday, but the majority of local dopesters are of the opinion that the game win be closer than Manhattan intormation has indicated, and many are hoping that the Aggies will spring a big sur prise. Baker Working Hard. Baldwin, Kan., Oct. 7. Coach Shep perd gave his warriors another hard workout on the field Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Wednesday night a big rally was held by the students and 200 of them, led by President Ma son, marched out to the field to watch the boys work with several shifts. Cady and W. Scott have been shifted to halfbacks and this will greatly strengthen a weak place on the team. Wolf and Sanders are being used at fullback and both will probably get into Saturday's game. Big Stuckey will be in the game at the guard and this is going to be a big help. Coach Shepperd is expecting a hard game with the Ichabods and will take no chances. He is working his team hard every night and will rely to a great extent on straight football. ON FLORIDA RIFLE RANGE. Kansas Shooters Get In the Money at Jacksonville Wednesday. Jacksonville. Fla., Oct. 7. Every member of the Kansas rifle team Wednesday shot over all the courses in the Southern Rifle association matches, in which the prize? were medals and cash. They shot in the rapid fire match at 200 and 300 yards, the 300, 600 and 1,000-yard slow fire matches. In the 300-yard match two Kansans were prize winners, First Lieutenant W. L. Stryker, who finished second in a field of "twenty-five, getting a medal and $12.50 cash, and Sergeant Major S. A. McKane, who finished eleventh and received $3.50. Stryker scored 49 and McKane 48 of a possible 50. A heavy rain interrupted the shooting in the afternoon. Captain Campbell has made an entry for the Kansas team members in the big matches of the National Rifle association, to be held beginning Friday. SULLIVAN REDEEMS BELT. Former Heavyweight Champion Again Regains Possession of Trophy. Chicago, 111., Oct. 7. The famous championship belt presented to John L. Sullivan by admiring friends in 1887 and. later left by him in Chi cago as security for a $4,000 loan is again in the possession of the veteran heavyweight pugilist, it became known. Sullivan redeemed it from a jewelry firm yesterday, paying $5,300. The celebrated trophy is made up of 350 diamonds and four pounds of gold. The former champion regarded the belt as his most cherished possession until shortly after he was defeated by Corbett in New Orleans in 1892. Friday Football.

Jayhawker Followers Fear Game With Emporia Teachers Saturday. Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 7. After watching the freshman backs skirt the varsity ends and hit gapping holes in the regular's line this week, Coach "Beau" Olcott was anything but pleased and tonight's practice may see a general shakeup of the varsity squad. The Kansas elev-en has given up the open style of play and Jayhawker backers are rather pessimistic as to the outcome of Saturday's game with the Emporia Normals. The team will get a good workout tonight in an ef fort to correct faults in offensive and defensive play before tney face the Teachers. ANOTHER WORLD'S RECORD SET. Volga Won Kentucky Futurity, Setting New Two Year Old Time, Lexington, Ky., Oct. 7. Volga, of the Pastime stables, won the Kentucky Futurity for two years old trotters, the chief attraction of the Grand Circuit meeting, here Wednesday, in straight heats and set a new world's record for two year old fillies for two heats. She trotted the first mile in 2:07, whici equaled the world's record for two year old fillies, made by Native Belle in 1909, and finished the second round in 2:09 Volga was closely followed in ach heat by Walnut Tree, but had no dif ficulty in winning either. CHANGE DATE OF GAME. Ottawa and C. of E. Will Play Friday Instead of. Saturday. Ottawa, Kan.. Oct. 7. The annual Ottawa university-College of Emporia football game will be played at Em poria Friday instead of Saturday this week, according to arrangements made between Coach Schabinger, of Ottawa, and the managers of the Em poria team. Many Emporians want to go to Law rence next Saturday to see the Nor-mal-K." U. gi.me and also want to see the Emporia-Ottawa battle. ST. MARY'S ROUNDING OUT. Catholic Eleven Expects to Give Mis souri Teachers a Hard Game. I St. Marys, Kan., Oct. 7. St. Mary's 1 prospects have increased Olathe eai last since Saturday. the The j AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPS NOT GOING INTO BIG SERIES WITH TOO MUCH CONFIDENCE -k: tumiT ww win ,u i.iiim,.i.np mam wpi If woo fSsvye o o Boston American league team.

Lower row: Lewis. Wagner. Speaker, Hooper. Foster, Scott. It is not to be expected that ihe Red Sox will fall into the pit of overconfidence as did the Athletics a year ago. Bill Carrigan is wise enough to know that strong as his Red Sox are, they are not going to find the Phillies any mean foes. Accordingly he has bad bis entire aggregation of pennant winners watching the Phillies in action and against their strongest rivals, at that. showing of both offensive and defen sive work equaled and probably ex ceeded the expectations of the ma jority. Coach O'Kourke expressed great satisfaction in the efforts of hie proteges and as he said himself, while the team displayed marvelous speed and fighting spirit, at the same time he was enabled to discern the "rough spots." The workout of the current week indicates that by the date of the War rensburg game these rough edges will be worked out. The Atchison, TojH-ka and Santa Fe Railway Company.

A baby would be likely to have a parti cularly hard row to hoe did not its parents think it was the greatest child, ever. Possibly, the alignment of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo with the cause of woman s suffrage is due to the fact that for some time now he has been the husband of one of the progressive daughters of President Wilson.

Help! "When the flood a Galves ton cut off the city's water supply, it was not the ranting demagogue who came to the rescue of the city, says Leslie's, but the officials of some of the "soulless" corporations. F. G. Pettibone, vice president and general manager of the Santa Fe railway, or dered the company's water line crew to the coast for the purpose of assist ing the helpless. President Sealy of the Magnolia Petroleum company ordered his pipe line men to the scene, and T. T. Cottingham, chief en gineer of the Southern Pacific came to investigate the trouble. The mu nicipal authorities requested '"and authorized, Messrs. Pettibone and Cot- tingham to take charge of the situa tion, and within twenty-four hours these representatives of corporations, which have X :h brains and souls, had water running to the inhabitants of Galveston. The promptness and effi ciency with which these corporations came to the relief of the stricken city remind one of the splendid way in which the late E. H. Harriman helped San Francisco at the time of the great catastrophe in 1906, the assistance he gave later when the Imperial valley was flooded, and the service rendered by the Pennsylvania and other rail roads in the Dayton, Ohio, flood of 1913. "The great private corporations are equipped to render conspicuous public service whenever they have the chance. LONGEVITY. The United Sta.es public health service and the various health agen cies of this country are working to prolong the average duration of life, In this they are obeying the desire for existence which is the strongest instinct of mankind.

Dun Co., totaled 17,2 88 and supplied an aggregate indebtedness of $241,464,- 060. In point of number, these ngures exceed those of any similar period in the past, but the liabilities are ma terially smaller than the $271,918,021 shown in 1914, when the amount was distorted by the chain of dry goods suspensions tnat aione invuivcu up ward of $40,000,000.

In con trast with the second quarter .there were 976 fewer defaults and $30,000,- 000 less In the sum owed, whereas in the preceding year 581 mote firms failed in the third than in the. second quarter, though the indebtedness sub stantially decreased. It is also signifi cant that Setember was the first month of the year to show a smaller number of suspensions than in 1914, the difference being fully 200, while the liabilities were the lightest since November, 1912. OCR COAST DEFENSE SYSTEM. It is unfortunate that the great sys tem of fortifications, known as our coast defenses, should have been so named; for it is a fact that the major ity of Americans have the idea that thi-se forts protect our long coast line against invasion, writes J. Bernard Walker, in the American Review of Reviews for October, in an article on titled "The Weak Points in Our Na tional Defenses." They do nothing of the kind. Built at the entrances to our principal harbors for the protec tion of the maritime cities, they stand guard over's, very limited portion of our long coast line a stretch, on the average, of not more than fifteen to twenty miles at each defended harbor. Between these fortified points at such cities as Boston, New York, Philadel phia, and the entrance to the Chesa peake, there are stretches of hundreds of miles which, being utterly unde fended, are open to invasion by an expeditionary force. As for the coast fortifications themselves, al though they are the most complete of their kind in the world, they have the very serious defect that their guns, mostly twelve-inch, are surpassed b'lth in range and weight of projectiles by the naval guns with which modern fighting shipaare being equipped. When our forts were built the maxi mum range at which battleships couid do effective shooting was about 8,000 yards. Our twelve-inch guns were given a maximum range, of 18,000 yards, which is their maximum range today. In the intervening years since our coast forts were planned, tbe naval gun has been vastly improved. In the engagements of the war fighting has begun at 18,000 yards and hits have been made at 17,000 yards. The fifteen-inch guns of the Queen Eliza beth fire a 1,950-pound shell with a. range (extreme) of nearly 24,000 yards. The most modern ships could anchor several thousand yards outsid-J the range of our coast-defense guns and proceed to silence our batteries, unmolested and with great delibera tion. Fortunately the range jf our guns can be extended to about 20,000 yards by increasing their maximum elevation from the present low 7imit of 10 degrees (corresponding to 13,000 yards) to 15 degrees (corresponding to about 20,000 yards). This can be done at moderate expense, and co.i gress should at once appropriate the money to cover this work. Like every other branch of our national defenses, the coast fortifications are under manned. At present there are 16,000 men in our coast artillery not even sufficient for one relief. The number should be increased by at least 12,000 men. Journal Entries It takes much mors cleverness to make t- dollar go far t" -n fast.

The Wallace corespondent of the Sharon Springs Western Times writes: Tom Ukele is threshing and cleaning house and one thing and another. He is going to get married as soon as he gets through threshing, so the story goes. We are going to listen ior tne wedding bells, but if he doesn't want us to write up the affair he must pass us a piece of the wedding cake.

There is always something worse, so cheer up. When punishment is due It is not long delayed. The bigger the town the bigger are its two-legged wolves. Few people tell the truth after hav ing heard advice from counsel. Would you prefer to go to Heaven, or trust your luck with the Old Gang. Don't depend on your friends, and you will get along with them very nicely. Some maintain that man is an ani mal, although he sometimes acts like a germ. While credulity is our middle name, we should never trust a trusty pris oner very far. The long and tumultuous applause is sometimes based on the merits of tho performance, but not often. It probably will never be known whether a man who commits suicide is a coward or unusually brave. Some men should stand the heat well; the sort which always remind one of a raw November morning. The most horrible and the most pleasing words are "spot cash." It depends on what side of the counter you stand. Advance to Young Men. The Rev. John McNeill, the Scotch preacher, who has been conducting re vival metings in San Francisco of late, is never at a loss for an answer. Once in his career a smart young man, thinking to perplex him, sent up the following note, requesting a public reply: "Dear Mr. McNeill If you are seeking to enlighten young men, kindly tell me who was Cain's wife." Mr. McNeill read the note, and then, amid breathless silence, said: "I love young men inquirers for truth especially and should like to give this young man a word of advice- It is this: Don't lose your soul's salvation inquiring after other men's wives." Argonaut. The Evening Story The Spring Song. (By Allison Grant.) For the first time in nearly five years Elinor found herself free from responsibility, with leisure and money to spend as she pleased. Friends, whose kindness was of the proverbial kind that comes so near killing, had many suggestions about what she should do to recover from the cares brought on by her long years of caring for her invalid mother, whose death had preceded that of her unloved husband by but a few weeks. Elinor longed to Je all alone where nothing would suggest old associations, and, having vainly longed all her life to see New York, she determined to go at. once and to be on the train before her protesting friends and relatives had an opportunity to offer their com pany as a means of guarding against loneliness. Two hours later, a black porter was handing her and her suitcase up the steps of a sleeper of an eastbound train Just as the engine began to puff its way out of the smoky station sheds of her native middle west city. Elinor sank into her seat with unspeakable relief. She "thought of the many ver sions of what the clicking car wheels had seemed to say to people, but to her they seemed to say: "It's good to be living and good to be going!" Each time she repeated this to herself she felt farther away from the past and nearer to a new life. Her four years of marrieJ life had been free from friction, buf respect had been the strongest feelinjf she had for her husband. She shivesvd as she recalled that she had married steady Justin Moore, who was tweJity years her senior, because it seemfil the only solution of all the difficulties which piled themselves before her when her mother's illness was pronounced in curable. Moreover, the frequent change of scene and the fhstant at tention required would yve Deen out of the question had iTliior herself tried to provide for the mother. Jus tin Moore hivi long begged for the privilege of IVng Elinor husband and brother antSUher all in oie, and although shs, tolif3T"m frankly titat she did not love him asie felt she ought, she allowed him to C, vm her, and as she cuduled into the Arnyielding car seat she was grateful that nothing in her conduct toward him could have let him Know that each day of their married life was a day of bondage to her. New York has a million interpreta tions of itself for the million moods and circumstances in which people enter into itsiife, but to Elinor it was a haven after "a storm a haven from which she would later sail out into a new sea of life. She rode In the rub berneck wagons, went to the mu seums and libraries, to Union Square and Madison Square and Cooper Union, and a hundred other places of varied interest, and so much had she heard of those places that it seemed like meeting old friends to see them. As for her friends at home, they had only short notes from her telling where sho had gone. On a springlike day in late Feb ruary, Elinor went out in a charming new soft black gown which had lured her into a fashionable shop, from which she had not escaped until she had secured neckwear and millinery and footwear, asd dozens of other things whichjjrjoojnplete a- woman's toilet and her' peace of mind. She was giving her new finery its initial wearing for a matinee that afternoon, having taken special pains to find a theater where she could see a good old fashioned play with a happy ever afterward ending. Between the third and fourth acts the orchestra began a soft rendition of Mendelssohn's "Spring Song," t.nd as the almost human voice of the cello, and the golden notes of the harp gave out their message Elinor's thoughts flashed back to the spring time day, five yean, before, when she and Barry Elliott had stood together on tho pier at Old Point Comfort watchi..g the ships -ass in and out of the harbor. She lived again through the evening that day when she had stood on the moonlit deck of a Wash ington bound steamer and bade good bye to Barry, thus bringingo and md their acquaintance of a month while visiting at the Virginia plantation of Barry's cousin Alice, Elinor's school friend, who had married shortly afterward and gone to India with her engineer husband. All the long, hard years that had intervened seemed but a troubled dream to Elinor. As the music breathed and tinkled, her tied body and hungry heart revived, -and she felt again the magic of :he Uve 3he had thought dead curing all those five hard years. As the final i;tain rose to show the hero and hexfltiie united after having bridged the chaj-nj which kept them apart during the f arly part of the play, Elinor felt a cuHous per sonal sense of having bVjred the empty chasm in her o n life and heart. She remembered having heard, shortly after her marriage, of Barry's engagement to a beautiful southern girl, but that did not spoil her mem ory of that one perfect evening -with him. He was then a penniless, em bryo lawyer, just out of college, a;id he felt that he must r.ttain some sort of professional standing before offering- himself to Elinor, but each had understood that underneath their formal good-bye was a haart cry that even the long hand clat could not fully express or suppress.; She hoped he had been happy, was Ifcppy now. As she went from the theater the languor of the springlike air paled the brilliant flush on her cheeks and brought into her blue eyes a.wistful ness suggestive of the heart within that hungered for its own. She stop ped to look at a window display of blossoming plants, and unconsciously as she looked she hummed the open ing bars of the "Spring Song." Her deep contralto tone attracted a pass ing man, who was taking a hasty glance at the window. A glance at her brought him to a sudden stop. A second glance brought him to her side. That brought her eyes upward casually to regard so close a neigh bor, and as her eyes met the clear brown eyes of Barry Elliott she brought her hands together with an impulsive movement that let the vio lets she held fall to the sidewalk. Somehow, words were a small part of their greeting, of replacing tfte vio lets in her hands, and of their walk ing off together down Broadway. "And your husband?" veriltxred Barry. "He is with you here?" "My husband died six months ago, my mother seven. I came away to try to forget some of the cares of the last five years," said Elinor quietly. "But tell me of your own life, Barry. Is the lovely Southern girl good to you "Why, didn't Alice write you about my fiasco?" "She never mentioned you after telling of your engagement." "It's easily told," began Barry bluntly. "The lovely Southern girl wanted everything lovely that money could buy, and when she got an op portunity to choose between penniless me and a man with a ready-made fortune, she chose him, leaving me to come to my senses and settle down to digging, which I have done con stantly and profitably ever since." "How strange Alice told me none of that," mused Elinor. "But perhaps she thought I had enough without knowing that you, too, were un happy." "Then my happiness did matter to you, Elinor?" asked Barry. "More than I could ever make you understand, Barry; but my duty kept me from even understanding it my self." In a. few words Elinor told him quite simply what her life had been since they parted. "It seemed the only way then, but now I shudder at the awfulness of it all." "And I've shuddered through all the years as I thought of you tied there, for Alice told me enough to make me miserable. But, come; we must for get unhappy days." And so they had dinner together in a bright and pretty cafe where spring blossoms were on the tables and around edge of the miniature lake in the center of the room. As they rose to leave and Barry was placing Elinor's wrap about her the orchestra began softly to breathe out the "Spring Song."

There are no misgivings in England, however, that she will co-operate in any way with Bulgaria. The cabinet crisis has in no man ner impeded the landing of allied troops at Saloniki, and the fact that these forces are on Greek soil is con sidered the best guarantee that Greece ultimately must align herself with the entente powers, with which Premier elect Zaimis is in sympathy.

Down the pretty breeze-ruffled sur face of a tiny pond, a water-lily swayed back and forth, back and forth in the sunshine. "What a pity it is." she said to her self contentedly, "that everybody on earth can't be a' water-lily! How happy they would be!" "What's that you say?" asked a handsome green and gold dragon-fly who happened by Just then.

"What a foolish with!" exclaimed the dragon-fly laughingly. "Please do tell me what makes you think every body would like to be a. water-lily. Or why they should be one whether they liked it or not!" "To be sure, I'll tell you," cried the water-lily. "I'll iike telling you and everybody would like being a water lily if they only knew how fine it was! We stay still in the water instead of fluttering wildly about as you poor creatures do; we have good strong roots which give us plenty to eat with out our bothering a whit; we have all the sunshine there i: all the water we want oh. a water-lily's life is the hap piest In the world!" "Now just listen to that!" said the dragon-fly scornfully, when she had finsbed. "Such common desires! Such low aims! Don't you ever want to know anything of tne world Don't you get desperate staying forever in one place? I never could be happy if I was fastened by strong roots to the slime and mud of a tiny pond!" The dragon-fly darted first to one leaf of the snow white lily, then to an other "See! How I fly! I go from petal to petal, from flower to flower! That is happiness! I see all the world!"

Gov.'s Proclamation Brings Throng to Lockerbie Street. Indianapolis. Oct. 7. James Whit comb Riley's birthday had a beautiful beginning. At the dawn of his natal dav, which is being celebrated throughout the nation, a company of forty singers and musicians entered Lockerbie street and serenaded the poet at his home. A large basket of flowers was placed on his doorstep. The serenaders, bearing lighted candles, marched into Lockerbie street, tiptoed to the Riley gate and formed a circle around the carriage block. First they played "Loves Old Sweet Song." Soon lights began to appear in the poet's old fashioned red brick house. Two German folk songs followed and the serenade closed with "Goodnight," an old lullaby. Mr. Riley sent word that he had en joyed the serenade. Wishing him a happy night of rest, tho serenaders left Lockerbie street as silently as they had come. Governor Ralston's proclamation designating Mr. Riley's birthday as "Riley day" and urging all citizens of the state to pay fitting tribute to the sweet singer, was heeded. In every school there was a special program of recitations, readings and music. Flags and bunting were hung out everywhere and portraits of the poet were prominent. Mr. Riley received many callers this morning. In the afternoon he was the honor guest at a theatrical perform ance called "An Afternoon With Riley." The poet's verse set to music and interpreted by dancers was the prin cipal part of this entertainment. "COPE- GORDON IS DEAD. (Continued from Page One. Colonel Gordon got his enviable repu tation as the best landlord in Kanssis. It was in this hostelry that he made friends with thousands of Kansans and was known to all politicians as "Colo nel." During the time Colonel Gordon was proprietor of the Copeland he enter tained many distinguished guesvs, among whom were President Hay.-s, President McKinley and President Roosevelt. Kansas hotel history was anything but flattering before Colonel Gordon entered the ranks. Horace Greelv, who visited Kansas in 185 9 wrote Ar ticles for the New York Tribunet giv ing his impressions of '.he country and its characteristics. On the subject of hotels his impressions were jotted down in this manner: May 23 Leavenworth room-bells and baths make their last appearance; May 24 Topeka breakfast and wash-bowls (other than tin) last visible barbers ditto; May 2 6 Manhattan potatoes and eggs recognized among the bJes:i ings that brighten as they take ..heir flight."

In 1904, Inspiration Consolidated Copper stock was put on the market and much of it was sold in Topeka. At that time the stock sold for fifteen cents a share. Since then, it has soaroi and is today selling at $47. The prop erty, however, has been merged with the Anaconda i.nd the stock goes to J50. T" development of Inspiration has been watched with interest by many Topekans, especially W. A. Neis wanger, who sold the first stock in this city at fifteen cents. When the stock first appeared on the market it was viewed in some quarters with -suspicion, principally because it was min ing stock. A number of Topeka men bought into the company, however, on the strength of the men behind it. It is said, however, that not a single To pekan bought stock when it was Hrst put on the market sold until it aad advanced from 20 to 600 per cent. During the early days of Inspiration and before eastern millionaires now in control became interested a board cf directors composed of C. O. Knowles, S. S. Ott, W. A. Nelswanger of Topeka and J. S. Loose and J. L. Loose of Kansas City, shaped the destiny of the mine. The mine was located in Miami. Ariz., nine miles west of Globe, in 1903. A year later, stock appeared on the market. Since 1903. there have been numerous reorganizations ijul consolidations and purchase of adjoin ing properties. The principal change occurred in 1908. when E. W. Wilder, former treasurer of the Atchison, To peka Santa Fe Railway company, sold control to the present organiza tion. Nearly 100,000,000 tons of ore iave been developed and a plant is now In the course of construction that when completed will be capable of handling 15,000 tons a day. At present, the oil flotation method is being used -and 4. 000 tons are going through the mill daily.

Crosby Outlines Plan for New State Institution. Copeland Says Foolish Law makers Injure Kansas. K NOCK Kit. When the Creator had made all the good things, there was still some dirty work to do, so He made the beasts and reptiles and poison ous insects, and when He had fin ished, He had some scraps that were too bad to put into the rattle snake, the hyena, the scorpion and the skunk, so, He put all these to gether, covered it with suspicion, wrapped it with jealousy, marked it with a yellow streak, and called it a Knocker. BOOSTER. This product was so fearful to contemplate that "e had to make something to counteract it, so He took a sunbeam and put in the heart of a child, the brain of a man, wrapped these in civic pride, cov ered it with brotherly love, gave it a mask of velvet and a grasp of steel and called it a Booster: made him a lover of fields and flowers and manly sports, a believer in equality and justice and ever since these two were, mortal man has had the privilege of choosing his associates. J. F. Haskell, in a let ter read before the members of the Commercial club at the twenty cylinder dinner. The Idea of a Kansas state Indus trial museum wherein all products of the 105 counties of the state might be displayed for the benefit of visitors and prospective residents was ad vanced at the twenty-cylinder dinner Wednesday night when the Topeka Commercial club took an Inventory of its past strength and weakness, and bolstered up Its weakness for the big gest year's work in its history. Two hundred or more attended the dinner. To give the club a wider scope of work bylaws raising the number of directors from seventeen to twenty one were -adopted. The question of finances was solved by the same by laws which raised the membership fee from $12 to $2 Or The latter change, as well as the former, was voted upon by those present at the dir-ner and carried in the affirmative without a dissenting voice. Crosby the Originator. The idea of a Kansas museum for state products was put squarely be fore the club by E. H. Crosby. In a one minute talk Mr. Crosby launched a movement which prom ises "to root deep. The suggested Kansas buildins will be similar to one located In Los Angeles, only on broad er lines. It is Mr. Crosby's plan to throw a bill in the legislative hopper providing for the structure. It will be open to all counties for display of every product of the commonwealth. While Topeka, the capital city, is the proper location 5t will be a Kansas building wherein visitors and pros pective Kansas homebuilders and In dustrial men can glean definite data as to agricultural and mineral prod ucts and industrial outputs of every part of the state. While the idea is in its infancy, Mr. Crosby has been incubating it for years. A local architect has volun teered to draw the plans for such a structure and a cement company has intimated that It would furnish the cement at a nominal cost while the railroads well, the railroads will do their share. Capper Talks. Charles Elliott, president of the How Any Woman Can Remove Hairy Growths (Beauty Culture.) It is not longer necessary for a wo man to visit a beauty specialist to have superfluous hairs removed, for, with the aid of a plain delatone paste, she can, in the privacy of her own home, remove even a stubborn growth in a very few minutes. The paste is made by mixing some water writh a lit tle powdered delatone: This is ap plied to the hairs and after 2 or 3 minutes removed and the skin washed, when it will be left clear and hairless.

Will Kelley, secretary of the club, in summing up the achievements of the club during the last year, told of the remarkable work done by the organization but stated that it had not done all it could have done. Mr Kelley justified the raise in fees by pointing out that the Topeka club is run at a smaller expense than that of any city of its size in the United States. He also pointed out that the city was in a fair way to obtain a $75,000 gas engine corporation.

Was Nervous and All Run Down But Now Feels Like a Different Woman. Statement after statement is now being made by men and women who have been benefited by Tanlac. the remarkable new medicine that is be ing so widely discussed and distributed in this city and vicinity. Mrs. E. L. Adams, residing at 3 21 Pearl street, Joplan, Mo., said recently: "I was real nervous and all run vi,v, Tn fact. I was over worked and worried and had frequent headaches. The tired, worn out feeling made my houeehold duties a drudgery. My head was heavy and I was so extremely nervous that I did not sleep soundly at nights. If I climbed stairs or If -vr-a utens In boarding a street car my heart would palpitate so violently that factually frightened """My digestion was poor and the food I ate did not agree with me. I read In the newspapers about the way this Tanlac was helping other peopte. Several friends who had used it also told me that Tanlac was an unusual medicine. I decided to obtain a bot tle of Tanlac and test It. Although I have taken less than one bottle of the medicines I am now feeling lots bet ter I now have no heaviness in my head, my appetite, digestion and sleep are good and I feel Invigorated and strengthened In every way. "Tanlac is simply splendid and 1 expect to get some of the medicine for my mother, who is over seventy years of age. I just know it will do her good, too. I am certain this medicine will help any woman who is all run down, nervous and depressed in spir its. I certainly do recommend it as a wonderful medicine." People who are nervous and Ir ritable, have Imperfect digestion and stomach disorders, lack energy and ambition, feel melancholy and dis couraged, suffer with headaches back ache, poor memory, unsound sleep, pallid complexion, poor circulation, impoverished blood, and who are so susceptible to coughs and colds are, unquestionably, affected with the same condition says W. C. Pope, the Tanlac Man when asked about the many statements that were being made by those that claimed they were bene fited by the master medicine. Tanlac can be secured at the Tully McFarland drug store, Ninth and Kansas avenues, this city, where Mr. Pope is daily meeting the public and explaining the merits of the Premier preparation. Tanlac can be purchased for $1.00 a bottle, three for $2.75 or six bottles for $5.00. Advertisement. Is Opposite Ua wherein the Commercial club shall be known as "we" instead of "you." Copeland on Kansas. A short address was made by E. L. Copeland, treasurer of the Santa Fe, wherein the man of finance diagnosed the great Kansas ailment in a dozen words. "Capital is being scared out of this state by foolish lawmakers and unjust commissions," was Mr. Cope land's statement. There was no defined program for Wednesday evening's dinner. A play let In two acts, depicting everyday experiences of a membership commit tee was given by George Godfrey j Moore, Roy Bone, R. P. lienneti ana B. B. Eitelman. Two minstrel selec tions in costume were given by Mr. Bennett, accompanied on the piano by I Mrs. Bennett. Music was furnished by the Santa Fe orchestra. "ONE SP NF T ENOUGH" SAYS DRUGGIST Geo. W. Stansfield, druggist, 632 Kansas avenue, states that the simple mixture of buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., known as Adler-i-ka, is causing great surprise because just ONE SPOONFUL relieves constipation, sour or gassy stomach almost IMME DIATELY. It is so thorough a bowel cleanser that it is used successfully in appendicitis. Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH lower and upper bowel and the INSTANT effect is astonishing.

TEST Constitutionality of Liquor Act Contested in Court. Js'ew Phase in. Campaign to En force State Prohibition. FIRST CASE TO HIGHER BODY Railroads May Be KeYuired to Pay Heavy Penalty. Opinion In Case May Be Hand ed Down Soon. Constitutionality of the Mahin liquor law in Kansas and the federal Webb Ken von act was contested today in arguments before the state supreme court involving the payment of a fine by the Missouri Pacific Railway com pany for the shipment of liquor into Kansas to be sold in violation of state law. The case came to the supreme court on an appeal from the district court of Cherokee county and intro duces a new phase of the campaign for the enforcement of the prohibitory For an hour today the supreme court listened to arguments in the case. The suit Is the first or its Kind to find its way to the state supreme court and If the decision of the trial court is affirmed, means that rail roads which knowingly ship liquor from a wet state to a dry state for illegal purposes, must pay a penalty under the anti-liquor law. To Cherokee County. Some months ago twelve cars of beer were shipped into Cherokee county. The beer was consigned to inclividuel3 in Columbus and other towns in the county. Even in Chero kee county, where it is charged that the lid sometimes slipped, the sheriff could not convince himself that an in dividual would 'require a car of beer for his private use. So he seized the beer and a complaint was issued against the Missouri Pacific railway, which hauled the beer from Missouri to Kansas. Following a trial in the Cherokee county district court, the .Missouri Pa cific was found guilty cn 12 counts one count for each car Sot shipment of beer. The court assessed a fine of $1,200 and the railroad appealed to the supreme court. Arguments at tacking the federal "Webb-Kenyon act and the state Mahin liquor law were made by James Challis of Atchison, representing the Missouri Pacific. S. M. Brewster, attorney general, repre sented the state and argued for an opinion affirming the decision of the lower court. The supreme court will probably hand down an opinion in the case in November. WANT BETTER SERVICE Gage Park Patrons to Ask for Thirty Minute Cars. A mass meeting to protest -against the winter street car schedule on the Gage park line will be held at the Gage park school house Monday night, October 11. The residents of the dis trict claim that better service is neces sary, and that the maintenance of a better schedule will be justified. They will ask for a thirty minute service throughout the day. Last winter the street car company ran cars on the Gage park line every half hour from 6 to 10 o'clock in the morning and from 3 to 8 o'clock in the evening. The intervening service wns only every hour. The company justi fied this by the statement that the line would not pay, and as the track had only been laid a few months before there was no reason for running cars so often. The Gage park patrons de sire a better service and claim that the business will more than justify it. Bell Case Tfears End. Tndlnnanolis. Oct. 7. The state to day closed its case in the trial of Mavor Joseph E. Bell, charged with election conspiracy. The defense was prepared to start introducing testi- mony immediately. WAR NEWS BOILED DOWN FOR THE RUSHED READER The long expected Teutonic drive into Serbia has begun. Ber lin today announced that large. -forces of Germans and Austrians have crossed the Drina, Save and Danube rivers and firmly estab lished themselves on the Serbian side of those streams. The Teutonic purpose is gener ally conceded to be a push through Serbia, involving the crushing of Serbian military power. This would bring them to Bulgaria and Constantinople. Ser bia is to be assisted in resisting the Teutonic effort by French and British troops, some of whom are already on Serbian soil. Violent p.ssaults last night by the Germans in efforts to retake the positions the French captured from them north to Tahure in the Champagne district were repulsed with heavy losses to the Teutonic forces, it is announced in today's official statement from Paris. Alexander Zaimis is forming a new Greek cabinet in which lead ers of the opposition will be given representation, according to an Athens dispatch. Former Pre miers Gounaris, Rhallis, Drag oumis and Theotokis will be members of coalition ministry, it is declared. Already British troops have be gun to arrive at Saloniki, ac cording to Athens advices. An interview with former Pre mier Venizelos, given shortly be fore his break with King Con Etantine, leaves no doubt that under his premiership Greece would have vigorously supported Serbia in the present crisis. Petrograd hears that there have been anti-war demonstrations of serious scope in Bulgarian dis tricts, a state of siege having been proclaimed to deal with the dis affection. It is reported through Switzerland that considerable forces of Austrians and Germans have been drawn from the east ern front and sent to southern Hungary for the campaign against Serbia. Field Marshal Liman Von San ders, who has been the German commander of the Turkish force in Europe, has gone to Bulgaria, being met at Philippolis by King Ferdinand, according to advices reaching Amsterdam. WHILE WAR LASTS Duty on Sugar Is Not Likely to Be Lifted, McAdoo in Favor of Continuing Emergency Beyenue Act. Washington, Oct. 7. E listing duties on sugar will be retained and the war emergency revenue act will be extended until peace is declared in Europe, if the recommendations of the administration to congress next December are heeded. Secretary McAc"oo made the follow ing official statement: "In reply to many inquiries I have received about the revenue measures that will be proposed in the next con gress, I have determined to recom mend: "First, that the emergency revenuo acz which expires by limitation on De cember 31, 1915, be extended until peace is restored in Europe, and, sec ond, that the existing duties on sugar shall be retained for several years, or until normal customs conditions are restored. These are distinctively revenue measures and are necessary in view of the extraordinary condr tions now prevailing throughout the world. "It is impossible to state at the mo ment what, if any, additional revenue measures may be necessary, as the es timates of the various departments' developments have not yet been re ceived. It is clear, however, that the two sources of reveowe I have just mentioned should b preserved, no matter what the departmental esti mates may be. Of course, it rests with congress to say what shall be done.

Topeka Man Tells Amazing Tale of $2,640,000 in Bonds. J. C. McCall Thought He Was Near a Fortune. An amazing tale of rapid accumula tion of wealth, involving something like $2, 640,000 in steel stocks and bonds, -that would back "Get-nch-quick" Wallingford off the map was told this morning in the county attor ney's office by J. C. McCall, or oxo West street, who swore to a warrant for the arrest of two men whom he claims robbed him of his bonds Wed nesday- night. When Sheriff Ij. U. i.iene anu M. Lee, assistant county attorney, heard McCall's story they stared in blank amazement, being unable to be lieve that there was that mucn money in the world. But here's McCall's story: "Vnn know how a fellow will do. Trade around and get things that he thinks is junk. Well last spring traded for this Lackawanna steel. I had some land in western Kansas auu some in Missouri that I couldn't pay taxes on- so I traded it to different fel- lows and got 33,000 shares of Lacka wanna steel. I am not sure that tnere was that much, but it was something near that. I had thirteen cerimcaiea tih osir-h certificate was good for a thousand or more shares. Only Worth $2 Alien. "When I got this it was only worth nhnnt 2 a share. Now it is worth about $90. I was talking to Myers, of the investment company in tne uoium bian building, about the stock and he told me that now was tne time to sen. T -ataa irningr to sell the stock today. "Last night I went to tne nome oi C. F. Ludington, 1018 Lane street, ana when I was eroing home two men, one larire and one small, spoke to me. 1 said howdy and started north on Lane street. I noticed the two renows ioi- lowing me and when I reached a dark spot under the trees between faeventh and Eighth streets tney jumpea on me. One of 'em said: 1 w want i: i i nanprs find T

"I have been sick for the last three years and when I heard that Lacka wanna had taken big jumps and was up to $90. I figured that I d have an easy time now. I was going to sell them this morning." McCall didn t know just how much money he would have been worth if he had been able to ell tne etocKs, He was enough interested in the rob bery to wire the Kean-Taylor com pany.

McCall told me that he had some Lackawanna stock and 1 advised him to sell now. because the stock was ud." said Thomas J. Myers, invest mnt broker, this morning. "I do not believe, however, that he had 33,000 shares. Lackawanna Steel is quoted at 804 today. It was up to 88 a few days ago, put tne mamet has fluctuated If McCall had 33,000 shares of this stock, as he says he had,- he was worth something like $2,640,000 be fore he was robbed Wednesday night. The police and the sheriff's force are investigating the case. The county attorney s rorc is in clined to believe that McCall had $33,000 worth of this stock, or about 830 shares and that he got ratuea at his loss and forgot how to tell just what he did have.

"Bull Pen" Takes Heart and Soul From Prisoners. Resolutions, putting the Topeka Rotary club officially behind the To peka municipal farm movement, and ruling that petitions be circulated by the club to call a special election for the purpose of voting bonds to finance such an institution, were adopted to day at the club dinner in tne .Mails tea room. A campaign to work hand in hand with those who are backing the county welfare settlement movement and another to abolish the old city jail and build a new one will also be launched by the knights or tne wneei. A City Project. -It was ruled at today's meeting to make the municipal farm a project of the city of Topeka and not attempt to make a joint city and county affair. E. W. Rankin, chairman of the public affairs committee, who investigated the proposition on behalf of the Ro tarians and made a defininte report o dav. estimated that the farm would cost not more than $25,000. This fig ure is half the original estimated cost. Prior to the adoption of the resolu tions, toe Rotanans listened to scathing denunciation of conditions at the city jail and lack of facilities for handling misdemeanors of police court by Robert Yates, police judge The city jail was termed "a crime against Topeka and those who come under police court supervision," by the judge. He said: There is not the least doubt out what there is need of a municipal farm. Lack of facilities prevent me from even hoping to do good in po lice court. The only thing I can hope for is that I will not do any more harm than necessary by throwing men into the bull pen. Bull pen a crime. The men who come into police court are men that have been whipped in the battle of life not once but a hundred times. And if there is any thing that will take the heart and soul out of anyone it is a sentence to the bull pen where the conditions are miserable and sordid. 'Topeka could have no greater hu miliation than to have the truth about this despicable place circulat ed over the country. The municipal farm would not wholly do away with a city jail, but it would provide a place where men and women who have been whipped in life .could be made new instead of being made worse. 'lopeKa is avoiaing a civic re sponsibility by making persons brought into police court get out of town as a price of their freedom. Every day I turn men loose to get out of town because I have no fit place to put them. All Favor Movement. Following Judge Yates, Horace Hall and General A. A. Gortard en dorsed the work of the club in gettinj behind the movement. Hugh Driscoll of the Topeka Traf fic association, gave the business talk of the luncheon. He outlined the work being done by the traffic associ ation in handling transportation prob lems of local shippers. "It ia the policy of the association to bring the carrier and the shipper into closer personal harmony," said Driscoll. He spoke of the gigantic rate problem and reminded his audience that it would take one man 200 year3 to read the 4,000 volumes of tariffs- each volume having 1,000 pages, Harry Pugh read Driscoll's biog raphy wherein was outlined Driscoll's eventful and spectacular career in jumping from delivery boy to tariff expert. Other Talks Made. Marco Morro,w gave the Rotary talk in the form of verse, "The Rotarian's Prayer," in which he paid a beauti ful tribute lo the belief of the knights of the wheel. A short talk by Father Murphy fol lowed, and E. L. Cooeland commend ed the attitude of the Topeka traffic association toward the railroads. Mr. Copeland upholds the contention of the rate expert who recently made the statement that the carriers' rates could be doubled and the consumer would never know the difference un less informed cf the incline.

Judge C. W. Smith, executive clerk n the office of Governor Capper, to day explained the granting of a parole to Wayne K. Stalnaker. It was bo- cause of tne Stalnaker parole that Senator James A. Troutman,'chairmau of the Botkin investigating commit tee, criticised the governor and de clared his acticn waa indefensible. talnaker's case was one of the mat ters investigated in the Botkin hear ing. He was used as a witness against Botkin and it was charged that he had received special favors. Within two weeks after the hearing. Stalnaker was paroled. Explaining the govern or's acticn today. Judge Smith said: 'For this act I assume my phare of responsibility. It is always gratifying for one to have the good opinion and commendation of .ore's friends in all his acts. Criticism by friends is not objected to, though the criticism may hurt. Passionate criticism is not al ways just. It is said the act of pa roling Stalnaker is wholly unjustified. If he committed a crime for which there is no forgiveness under either divine or human law, this statement is true; but if the plan of Christian forgiveness leaves an open door through which he may enter into a realm of mercy, the act may be de fended. Stalnaker was sentenced for an attempt to commit a heinous of fense. His sentence was one to ten and a half years, and counting good time given him by the law, he servel more than five years. This is longer than any other guilty of the same of fense had served, and more than three times as long as the average recent service for the same crime. "This gave opportunity to charge discrimination and persecution. One of the elements of the successful carrying out or the parole law. Is apparent fairness in ad ministering it. This was a factor in deciding the parole. The decision re flects in no way upon the acts of the commission that investigated Mr. Bot kin as warden; Governor Hodges had given Stalnaker a temporary parole. He had been ordered to return to the penitentiary. When he reached Kan sas City, Mo., on his return to Lans ing, a lawyer induced him to permit habeas corpus proceedings to be be gun for his reloase. Stalnaker did wrong in this bat was the door of pardon to be shut against him for it? The commission did not assume to de termine his right to be paroled by any governor in the future, but only whether Mr. Botkin was to be con demned for obstructing Governor Hodges' order commanding his re turn. "Mr. Stalnaker belongs to an old family in West Virginia, of high stand ing, as shown by letters from lawyers, judges, ex-governors and church dig nitaries in that state. This of course does not justify him in what he did. but it does have a part in determining the question of parole. His parents wanted him to come to them in West Virginia and he wanted to go, so he was paroled to them. It is intimated that the govern was .imposed upon in procuring his parole. If by this is meant that he was induced to grant it by trick or fraud, the implication denied. No application for parole has received more thorough investigation, both by the governor and myself. It has had serious consideration for more than six months. Notice was published in the citv where the crime was com mitted, that application for his parole had been made and inviting any one to offer objections.

Ouup for en-nit FREE to A This Treatment Has Cured the Most Serious and Chronic Cases of Catarrh Sent Free to Anyone for the Mere Asking to Prove Its Marvelous Powers. To Prove It Beyond a Doubt, Without a Cent of Cost to You, Send Coupon Below With Your Name and Address Today for FREE TRIAL PACKAGE of This Remarkable Treatment. My Disgusting Catarrh Victims Fearfully Nauseating to Those Who Are Near Them. The Positive Cure for Catarrh Is the Gauss Treatment A Free Trial to Prove It Is Sent to All Who Write for It. Yon Are Sentenced to Deportation. Society Cannot Put Up With Your iilthy Catarrh Habits Any Longer." That Is what moat people would like to say to the n an or woman who suffers from this abominable disease. It is not because society does not pity the poor victims, for it does, but be cause disgust is so much stronger than pity that it outweighs it. Of course the poor victim cannot help the catarrhal practices that so rauseate everybody else they are a part of the disease from which he suffers but it is simply impossible for the average healthy man or wo man to overcome the disgust that he or she feels at having to witness such unspeakable exhibitions. Neither friendship nor love can rise superior to these sights, sounds and odors that revolt in spite of all attempts to check the revulsion. The victim becomes a social outcast, despite all his or her good qualities, simply because it is a trial to every one else to have him or her In the vicinity. Much may be borne, for the-Oke-of politeness and from a feeling of pity, but seldom indeed does one leave the presence of a catarrhal unfortnuate without heaving a sigh of relief at being again in the pure, sweet, unde filed air, away from obnoxious breath odors, and out of sight of those symp tomatic habits that turn the stomach sick. Most pitiful of all is the fact that so many of these catarrh victims do not recognize that they are objects of dis gust to all around them. They do not smell their own breaths and do not, therefore, know how offensive they are. No one tells them, because no one wants to hurt their feelings. The catarrhal person doesn't notice his own acts in clearing his throat, blow ing his nose and spitting, because he is so accustomed to these things, and they are so necessary to him that he pays no more attention to them than he does to his breathing. Everybody else notices them, though, and every body else wishes they didn't have to notice them. These catarrhal practices, both piti ful and disgusting, are enough to make even the members of one's own family breathe a sigh of relief when the door closes after the victim. Love itself wavers and disgust for bids the kiss. And out of regard for the afflicted one, little mention Tf his pollution is ever made to his face, and he must rely on his own misery and such plain talk as is contained in this page to reach him and to mre him There is cure for this pestilence with in the reach of every one. It was not always so. Catarrh has raged fiercelv through the years like a firebrand, and in the eagerness to quench it many useless things were given out as cures, but it remains now after the slow process of extermination and dis covery, to offer the positive, real cure, which has been born of ceaseless searching and common sense.

To Topeka Confessions of a Catarrh Victim Some of the Kxperienees That Ca tarrh Forces Ipon its slaves. I get boiling mad when people tell me I've got catarrh. I've had dozens of mere acquaintances, and especially one young lady, who have come up and ventuVed to tell me something "for my own benefit. That expres sion begins to pall on me "for my own benefit. It seems they ail want to tell me the same thing. "You ought to take something lor your ca tarrh; I'll tell you how my cousin got cured, and every doctor used to say he had the wjrst case he ever heard about." Now, when a friend puts his hand on my shoulder, I gulp in preparation for catarrh advice. This gulp is not mere throat action, but the swallowing of mucus. Nothing would suit me bet ter than to have the earth open and swallow me up. I walk along the street close to the curbstone. When I ride on a car. I stand on the rear platform rather than sit down inside. I wish I could talk without having to open my mouth to breathe. I wish that kisses were obsolete. I wish that handkerchiefs could be turned into sheets. I wish that no chair but mine would be placed at the table. I wish that other people were deaf, blind and without noses. I wish that I were alone, always alone, to hawk and spit when and where I please. I wish that I was my mother's little fairy once more, with my little tousled head that knew not disease lying on her warm shoulder. Now I feel that I am an outcast. I know what they think of me, every one. I know my friends shun me, for even Jack, my old college chum, doesn't come around and chat and smoke any more as he used to do. My acquaintances only say hello, and pass by. Mrs. Grundy next door and all the other neighbors are talking about how repulsive I am. I see it in the way they look and act. People I sit next to get up and move somewhere else. People who talk to me turn their heads at an angle. And I'm in pain. It is not alone physical pain. It's my mind, too, that is in agony. Trained Nurses Strongly Recommend Gauss' Catarrh Cure to All Sufferers. I can't remember things as I used to. Thoughts slip away from me. I say things I don't mean, and mean things I don't say. My head, is thick and my brain is in a fog. I walk alone, my work palls on me, my nerves refuse me that let-her-go feeling has got me. I relish nothing I eat, and my appetite- Is gone. And as I think of my misery I must hawk again. My cough is a rattle. The ruby has been plucked from my cheeks, the flush of my young health is gone. My head Is in a fever, but my hands are cold, and I seem to feel in them the apreachlng chill of the tomb I have read of catarrh death, and- my mother's brother died of the same disease. Come, on, death, and relieve me. No, my mother comes. Who, Gauss did you say. Mother? Do you think so? I'll trv. Mother. Yes, you send for the treat ment; I'll use it faithfully.

W. B. PLUMB. State Journal Readers Catarrh Everywhere Even on Pike's Peak No Man or Place Is Immune from the Deadly Catarrh Germ. There is no part of the land which is free from catarrh. Altitudes and latitudes have little effect in destroy ing the omnipresent germ. Many im agine that the climate of the West, with its high altitudes and dry at mosphere, tends to prevent catarrh. There are just as many cases, in pro portion to the population, west as east of the Mississippi, only the disease is not so severe because of the climatic effect upon the nerves. "Happy Together Once More! Mr. Gauss Has Cured My Catarrh." Even on Pike's Peak, which is over 14,000 feet above the sea level, ca tarrh seemed to attack several of the attaches of the signal station located there some years ago. No place is exempt, no human soul is immune from catarrh. Don't im agine because you don't live by a lake or river that you can't have ca tarrh, or that you have only a chronic cold when your nose has been stopped up for some time. That is usually the way catarrh starts with a bad cold. Better spend a few days destroying the catarrh germ right from the start, than waiting and putting off until you feel droppings in your throat and your nose clogged up. The Gauss Complete Treatment will stop it and avoid for you yeans of future misery. Cut out the coupon below, if you have even a slight cold or a touch of catarrh, and send it to C. E.

Sniffler Chased Out of Meeting Enraged Audience Roughly Handles iagger Who interrupts Speech. San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 19. During a public primary meetinor liere tn.ia, o middle-aged man in the audience, who was fumbling a rolled-up handkerchief in his hand and persistently sniffling and pulling his nose during the delivery of a speech, was forcibly elected from the assembly hall. Cries of "Kick him out" and "Choke the .lobster," Interrupted the proceedinss and finally resulted in a grand rush for the nose-puller by some of the enraged hearers. He was grabbed by the coat col lar unceremoniously and swiftly moved toward the door. When the man first sat down nnrl hn loudly tearing out a throat-hawk fh audience shifted nervously. After con tinuing the draw-rattle of his catarrh through one of the most stirring parts of the speech the audience gave vent to its feelings. He was roughly bandied on the way out, ann sustained several severe bruises. He was taken to the county hos pital. It is such occurrences as these whIM, make the catarrh victim one of the de spised of his race. He can't help but show bis disease. If this man had simply spent a few moments' time to send to r v. Gauss for a package of the wonderful Gauss Catarrh Treatment, he never would nave surrerea sucn an indignity as being kicked out of a public meeting.

Some Results of Catarrh Even Slight Cases of Catarrh Have Terrible Consequences. Every case of catarrh, of course, is not fatal. Nor does every case result in consumption or bronchitis, but nevertheless they are very frequent. No man or woman knows what his or her case of catarrh will lead to. Men of robust health have succumbed to resulting consumption and partial idiocy. Women of strong vitality have become nervous wrecks and victims of bronchitis. Your good health is not always a preventive against the ca tarrh germs. The more you feel sure there is no danger of the catarrh resulting in a disease more serious, the more dan ger there is; simply because you neg lect yourself. This happens in "hun dreds of cases and we see it recorded almost daily in the letters we receive. "If I had only started earlier,' is a very frequent expression, showing that our warning is not fanciful, but based on fearful reality. Even slight cases of catarrh may result in nose cancer, than which there is hardly a more pitiful affliction in this world. Catarrh Fatally Frequent. Some of the frequent results of ca tarrh are bronchitis, pneumonia, death, and decay of bones, loss of thinking and reasoning power, death in ambition and energy, loss of appe tite, indigestion, dyspepsia, ulceration, bad breath, raw throat, raw sores in the nose, general debility, and some times idicfey and insanity. This is why in the death list you do not find a mention of fatal catarrh; the death is caused not directly by the catarrh itself, but by a disease which was caused by catarrh. Medical books and cyclopedias will tell you even more serious news than we tell you here; probably after reading them you will have a full realization of what it is to have catarrh a common dis ease, it is true, but with a common result misery for years if not death. Cure Is Certain. You can cure that catarrh, slight or serious, once and forever by means of Gauss' Combined Treatment. We don't ask you to believe it before prov ing it yourself.

Catarrh Often Causes Consumption, General Debility, Idiocy and Insanity. Eminent Doctor Says Blindness Due to Catarrh (Associated Press Dispatch.) London, Aug. 6. Dr. H. Manning Fish, of Joliet, 111., declared at the medical congress that most of the blindness in the world is the result of catarrh in the upper nasal cavities or the bony cells composing the roof of the nostrils. Dr. Fish described his experience in thirty-six cases, covering a period of several years, claiming that in each of these, immediate improvement of the vision followed the effective treat ment of the diseased nasal cavities, and adv'sed that in cases of loss of vision following grip, measles, scarlet fever and kindred ailments, relief be sought through treatment of the noses of the patients. Catarrh is caused by a germ which must be destroyed before the catarrh itself can be cured. If not cured, blindness may result. An extended history of the many extraordinary cures effected by the Gauss treatment will probably be brought to the atten tion of the next "nternational meeting of the medical congress. Thought Wife a Consumptive Your catarrh medicine is a wonderful medicine. My wife bad it so bad everyone thought she had consumption. She used to cough all night and could not sleep at all. One doctor gave her up. He said she would not get cured if sbe stayed here. I have tried all kinds of niedicnw and found them no good, till I tried yours, and it acted right away. I recommend it to all my friends. Yon may mention my name If yon J 'lease, and they can write to me and I will et them know how bad my wife was with cntarrh. She is a well- woman ence more. W.

Catarrh Terribly Embarrassing This Is Especially True at Meals When the Uncontrollable Habits of Co- tarrh Victims Chase Away the Appentltes of All at Table Catarrhals Are Unwelcome Guests. The sufferer from catarrh either leads a life of continual embarrass ment and shame over his (or her) unavoidable habits, or else is so un mindful of the opinion of others as to not care how much they are annoyed or sickened. At the table, at mealtime, when everybody is gathered about the board with sharp appetities and pleas ant anticipations of the good things to come, the catarrh victim is sud denly taken with the desire (or rather, the necessity) of raising mucus. There is a scramble for his trusty handkerchief, a quick turning of his head, a struggle to suppress the nauseating spectacle, and then But why detail the thing? In a nut shell, the meal is spoiled for every one and nausea has replaced appe tite as disgust hs replaced anticipa tion. The poor catarrh victim feels Myt My) What An Awful Breatfcl Vak My Advice.

Catarrh anywhere in the head or throat or ears la right next to the brain. The ca tarrh germ grows fast, dees an enormous amount of damage in its burrowing into the bone and flesh and is difficult to de stroy. There are thousands of little nerves that run from all parts of the face and head to the brain Some of these little nerves have to pas through probably a mass of catarrhal inflammation on the road to the brain. When they do they are weak ened and sometimes destroyed. What affects the nerves is bound to af fect the brain, and when the nerves are deadened by constant catarrhal discharges thare is bound to be a certain torpor or stupidity bronghtabout in the brain of the victim. Thus follows sleeplessness. In ability to think clearly, of connect ideas, loss of memory, lack or concentration, lack of presence oi mind, and a wandering thought.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENIFd OCTOBER 7, 1915. FIX WIRELESS NET Nary Will Organize All Sta tions in United States. A Great Help to Country in Case of War. A LINE OF EAVESDROPPERS! Coast Can Be Guarded by String of Operators. All Intercepted Messages Can Be Relayed to Washington. Washington, Oct. 7. All commer cial and amateur wireless stations in the United States will soon be organ ized by the navy department for im mediate use in case of emergency by the Intelligence Bureau of the Navy. In the event of war hundreds and possibly thousands of operators along the coast lines would be instructed to "listen in" on any radio conversation that might be in progress within range of their instrumeuts, each station -using a different wave length. The result would be to establish a line of radio "eavesdroppers" around the country which would be certain to in tercept any message transmitted by phips at sea or short stations beyond the borders south or north. Intercept ed messages would be promptly re ported to the navy department which will be able eventually to communicate with all Atlantic coast wireless sta tions at least, directly from the office of Rar Admiral Benson, chief of navy operations'. A Radio Exchange. All matters pertaining to the move ments of ships to communications with or between vessels and shore sta tions or relating to information as to naval commanders falls under the di rection of the chief of operations. To facilitate co-ordination of the communication methods of the navy, five wireless antennae are now being erected on the roof of the state, war and navy buildings here and in a sound proof room close to Admiral Benson's office will be established what might be called a radio exchange station with "five operators and five Bets of instruments. From that room conversations can be conducted direct ly with the big central navy radio plant at Arlington, Va., and with navy stations along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. A Perfect System. By relaying through the Arlington station the department will be brought in direct touch with any part of the vast wireless system now being con structed to reach from Maine to Cuba and from Arlington to the Philippines with stations at Honolulu and Guam. Telegraphic and telephone instru ments will be installed in rooms ad joining the radio outfits and when completed Admiral Benson will have a system established for swift handling of navy business in times of peace or war not heretofore known.

URIC ACID SOLVENT For Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble FEAR FORD BOYCOTT Dodge Brothers I'nload Their Stock In Profitable Canadian Company. Detroit, Mich., Oct. 7. John F. Dodge and Horace E. Dodge, who held 10 per cent of the stock of the Ford Motor company of Canada, given to them by Henry Ford on the organiza tion of the Canadian company in 1906, have thrown their holdings on the market and through H. W. Noble Co., of Detroit, received $1,625 a share for 510 shares, a total of $828,750. It le understood that Kissell, Kinnicutt Company, of New York, acquired an interest in the stock through Noble Co. Ford and the Canadian government are now at odds, owing to Ford's an tagonism to the Anglo-French loan. Toronto has boycotted the Ford car and there has been much speculation as to how much farther the Cana dians will go in showing their resent ment. The earnings of the Canadian company last year were $2,000,000 on $1,000,000. At the Ford works 150 men were laid off coincident with the Dodge sale but General Manager McGregor de- J clared this was only because .supplies had run short.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1915. IN PELZER MAZE Frank P. Welsh Argues Before Court for Receiver. Investment company was filed in the circuit court here today 1-y attorneys for Bertha Spiekerman, a widow, who alleges she holds J4.500 of fraudulent paper Issued by the company. Theodor Peltzer. president of the concern, fell to his death from the fifth story window of his offices in the business district on September 30. John M. Cleary, his attorney, at the corner's inquest yesterday, said ap proximately $400,000 worth of dupli cate deeds and notes issued by Pelzer had been found since the broker's death. The suit represents an attempt, ac cording to Frank P. Walsh, attorney for Mrs. Spiekerman, to unite all claims against the company and all business having to do with the same, of the involved Peltzer affairs, in one suit. To this end. the court was asked to enjoin ail directors, administrators and any other creditors from bringing: other proceedings to interfere in any way with the handling of the entire matter in one suit in equity, except by intervention in the court in which the suit was brought. Further, the suit asks the court to call for an account ing of the property and effects of the company. In effect, it is intended to take the settlement entirely out of the hands of the two administrators appointed October 4 by the probate court until all debts have been paid. The Peltzer estate, including life in surance left by the broker, is said to I be worth approximately $700,000.. LONGREN COMING HOME the people, of Abilene have been very hospitable and they appreciate the many kindnesses toward them, but still it is not like home. Friends of Mr. Longren who live in Topeka have called by phone every day to ask about his condition. VIOLATED MAHIH ACT distrtcC eourt when C. J. Hare, Bill Simpson and Ed Wheeler, all colored, were put o .trial for violating the Mahin act in obtaining liquor under false pretenses. Hare went to the Rock Island freight house and said he was Kd Green. The clerk at the liquor dis pensing window doubted Hare so he went out and got Wheeler to identify him as Green so that he could get a shipment of liquor for Simpson. A jury will be asked to punish the three men because they conspired to get the liquor illegally. Testimony in the case probably will be finished early thia- afternoon. Coal oil heaters at Forbes. Adv. Judge Burney issued a temporary restraining" order enjoining all direc tors, administrators and creditors from bringing other proceedings to in terfere, with the handling of the mat ter in one suit of equity and took un der advisement until next Monday the petition for a receiver. Mr. Walsh, in his arguments before the court, urged that an order be made directing that fees not exceeding $2. 000 be allowed the receiver, if one was appointed, and that the attorney for the receiver be limited to a compensa tion of $150 a month. Otherwise, he said, much of the money that should go to creditors would legally be used in settlement of affairs of the estate. Topeka Aviator la Recovering After Fall at Abilene. Abilene, Kan., Oct. 7. A. K. Lon gren, the Topeka aviator who was in jured in an exhibition flight here, will be taken to his home in Topeka next Sunday by Dr. Conklin.

Mrs. Kurtz Kellam will entertain in formally Friday afternoon at her home, 915 Fillmore street. Announcement has been made of the engagement of Miss Helen Mitch' II. the daushter of Mr. and Mrs. John Francis Mitchell, to Mr. f rank Ll wood Miller of St. Louis. Mo. The news was told to a group of Miss Mitchell's friends at a party giv en by Mrs. Jack Campbell for the members of her sewing club, and a few other friends. During the lunch eon served to the guests a wedding cake was brought in, on which were kewpies representing a bride and a bridegroom.

During the seasons that have passed Topeka has had a great many musical treats that, generally speak ing, belong to the province of the larger cities. This coming season, which opens October 1 8 at the Grand theater, will not only surpass the pre ceding ones, but set a standard for the years to come. When artists like the great contralto, Louise Ho mer; Mischa Klman, the wizard of the violin; Frieda Hempel, the colo rature soprano and Lambert Murphy, the lyric tenor, appear in a city the size of Topeka, all in one season, surely some one has a high appre ciation of the musical taste of the people and that appreciation and faith in the music lovers should be justified by an unstinted patronage. Topeka is gradually forcing itself to the front in the musical field of the middle west. It is the proud posses sor of a choral society and the ap pearance of artists like the above mentioned cannot but help the work of the local organization. The credit for the present season concerts belongs to Miss Mrytle Rad cliffe, who is working constantly for the success of the series. Herself a musician of more than ordinary abil ity, she ;s enthusiastic over the work I of those who have achieved fame in the musical world. She believes that the masses should be given an op portunity to hear and see the great ones, and in putting her belief into practice she arsumes a financial bur den that bespeaks courage and un bounded faith in concert-going soci ety. Frieda Hempel, the sensation of the Metropolitan Opera company, will be the first of the artists to appear. The metropolitan press claims for her a charming personality and de scribes her tones as ripples of gold. Hempel will sing in Topeka on the night of October 18. The concert will begin p.t 8 o'clock. Information can be obtained by calling Miss Rad cliffe by phone 3859, or 804 Lane street. Beside the Hempel concert there will be six other numbers as follows: Lambert Murphy, c?nor; Anna Case, soprano, and Gilbert Spross, composer and pianist, appearing in joint con cert; Kathryn Goodson, English pian ist; Louise Homer, contralto; Clar ence Whitehall, barytone, and Mis cha Elman, violinist. A pretty school dress is this for a girl of 10 or 12. The material select ed was navy blue serge and a wide white linen collar trims.

V 4 That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew ing a. mixture of Sage Tea and Sul phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars your face. When it fades, turns gray, streaked and looks dry. wispy and scraggy, just an ap plication or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundred fold. Don't bother to prepare the tonic: you can get from any drug store a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," ready to use. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color, thick ness and lustre of your hair and re move dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur because it darkens so nat urally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. Tou simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disap peared, and after another applica tion it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy, lustrous and abun dant.

Miss Edwina Abbott of Lane, Kan., and Mr. A. M. Cowan of-Wichita, were married this afternoon at the home of the bride's mother in Lane, by the Rev. Mr. Powell of Ottawa. Mr. Cowan attended Washburn col lege some years ago and later gradu ated from the law department at Ann Arbor. He is now associated in the practice of law with Chester I. Lon? of Wichita. The bride is a graduate of the Uni versity of Illinois and the Chicago uni versity, and taught last year at the Sophie Newcomb Memorial college, in .ew Orleans. Mr. and Mrs. Cowan will be at home in the Almeda apartments in Wichita. College friends of Mr. Cowan will be interested in the news of the wedding. The Friday Bridge-Luncheon club was entertained Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. J. P. Kaster. Miss Ruth Rast er played as substitute for Mrs. J. S. Dean.

Wehe have returned from Fort Worth, Texas, where they attend ed the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Ben nett's daughter, Miss Catherine Ben nett, and Mr. Frederick William Forbes. The bride is a niece of Mrs. Wehe. The following notice of the marriage is from the Fort Worth Record: A pretty wedding was solemnized at St. Andrew's Episcopal church Satur day at 10 o'clock, when Miss Catherine Huddart Bennett of Topeka, Kan., and Frederick William Forbes of El Paso were married, Rev. B. B. Ramage offi ciating. Before the entrance of the bridal party. Professor Marshall gave two or gan numbers, after which he played the Lohengrin wedding march as the processional. The mother of the bride, Mrs. C. E. Bennett,- entered with Judge Milam, preceding the bride, who entered on the arm of her father, Mr. Bennett. They were met at the altar by the bridegroom, and Rev. Mr. Rlypage performed the ring ceremony. The bride wore a handsome creation of silk net over pink, and her picture hat was made of pink tulle. At the waistline of her gown was a bridal corsage of lilies of the valley and roses. Mrs- Bennett wore an afternoon gown of wistaria, with accessories to match. Mrs. J. W. Wehe of Topeka, Kan., an aunt of the bride, wore a lavender gown, with gray trimming. Although the bride is a resident cf Topeka, Kan., she and her parents have many friends here, as they have wintered in Fort Worth and Dallas for several years. Immediately after the ceremony, a wedding breakfast was served at the Worth, at which only relatives and out of town guests were present, after which Mr. and Mrs. Forbes left for Dallas, where they were entertained with a dinner at the Oriental Saturday night, and will return to Fort Worth Sunday, leaving Sunday night for El Paso, where they will be at home. The bride's going-away suit was of blue broadcloth, with accessories and fur trimmings to correspond. A pia,no recital will be given by Miss Gertrude K. Mutton, head of the music department of Bethany college, Friday evening at the First Baptist church, which the public is cordially invited to attend. No admission fee is -charged and no Invitations hare been issued. This department has received an office letter from the city editor. It is a reprimand. I believe, in making lemonade of my lemons. Have a glass: "Miss Hempstead: In re your wed ding announcement last evening not until the doubtful reader reached the last paragraph of this half-column story was it possible to detect the name of the bridegroom. There are two varieties of newspaper stories with facts and without. A wedding item is included in the former. Now, if it was a fact that this man a good friend, by the way was a part of this affair and I assume he was con cerned what was the idea in drop ping him? As a married man to an unmarried girl, I take this occasion to inform you that despite public opinion and society concern, the man deserves credit at least as 'among those present.' Just because the bridegroom wears 'conventional black,' the society reporter has no ex cuse for omitting him from the galaxy of a matrimonial affair. Lord knows a man is overlooked enough in times of peace without losing sight of him in times of war. Such is the irony of .fate. The butcher, the grocer, the banker, the collector, the candlestick maker they all make it a point not to overlook the man of the house. Then the orchestra plajs, the spot light is shifted and presto! enters the woman! The only time a man re ceives complimentary and satisfac tory recognition is the report in the newspapers the day he dies. The day of his first shave, his long trousers, his gold watch and his wedding are considered only in the course of hu man events. "What is a man? A foolish baby; Vainly strives, and fights and frets; Demanding all, deserving nothing, One small grave is all he gets. "CITY EDITOR." Is it queer, or does it juet seem to queer to see a girl using a lorgnette? Two young men who attended one of the local theaters this week, were more interested in a youngish person looking through a lorgnette than they were in the show. One of the boys said that the girl was about twenty years old, with black hair, eyes with a sparkle and pretty red lips, but he asserted that he was watching her because she peered through those fashionably mounted lenses, though she was but a few feet from the stage. When you come to think of it, did you ever seen any but elderly, middle aged, or at least settled down, ma tronly looking women carrying a lorgnette, even in the pictures on the front of the Ladies Home Journal? This young woman, the boys say, car ried her lorgnette with the facility of a practiced expert. esne neia it daintily between the thumb and fore finger, and held her little finger ele gantly curved, just as the properest people do in an effort to subdue a quantity of resilient lettuce on a slip pery plate with no implement of de fense but an impossible salad fork.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 7, 1915. GET MAILBY AUTO Use of Machines on Rural Routes Is Spreading. Service in Kansas to Be Ex tended in Few Months. Washington, D- C Oct. 7 .-More than 300 automobile rural mail routes are now in operation in the country. While there are now but four of such routes in Kansas it is the plan of the postal authorities to greatly extend the service over the state within the next several months. The preliminary experience of the automobile rural routes has convinced the authorities that the new service will greatly improve the farmer s mail and express facilities. Time schedules are better maintained and routes more regularly served in all weather condi tions by automobile than by horse drawn vehicles. Forecasts that the automobiles could not do fifty to sixty miles a day in Kansas upon regular schedule are not borne out. At salaries of $1,800 a year, rural mail carriers operating automobile routes are required to furnish their own machines and wear uniforms cor responding to those worn by the city letter carriers. When appointed to this special service, letters of instruc tions are sent to the carriers inclosing a blue print showing the type of auto mobile body which the postoffice de partment deems most suitable. It is the desire of the department to stand ardize the rural automobiles as far as possible. Interesting reports from carriers now using automobiles in the rural service are being received by the de partment. A Kansas carrier, now using a light machine over a 29 -mile route, de clares the higher salary will fully meet the additional cost to the carrier "of serving the larger routes and leave him a larger net income than rural carriers have ever received. First speaking of his present situation, this carrier says that "although we have had a very wet year, and all my roads are dirt roads, my expense has not been any greater than those who carry with horses and rigs. I have been out in some very heavy rams, and have all kinds of roads and have never been pulled in." KANSAS WOMAN' IN UiAGt-'K. Mrs. Eckdall of Emporia Is Named National Committee Member.

The im mediate construction of silos in west ern Kansas to care for the heavy crops of corn and of kafir, feterita, milo, and other sorghums is urged by G. E. Thompson, superintendent of branch experiment stations in the Kansas State Agricultural college. The pit silo is recommended. Due to the soaking rains in western Kansas, that portion of the state has produced the greatest yield of sor ghums and other crops In history. The pit silo can be made an important factor in the prevention of waste. The feed should be preserved at this time to guard against "lean" years and a consequent shortage of forage, according to Superintendent Thomp son. Feed is kept clean and free from ro dents. It Is kept in good condition longer than in the ordinary Bilo. The silage fed in winter helps cattle to relish the buffalo grass and other roughage. These silos should be on firm, dry, and well drained portions of the farm, adjacent to the place where the sil age is to be fed. The experiment sta tion directors prefer them in the open rather than in barns or sheds. There are two of these silos at the branch experiment station at Hays and one at Colby. Silos are now being con structed at Garden City and Tribune. The experiment station staff prom ises to answer all inquiries regarding the construction or use of the pit silo.

IS FOR SUFFRAGE Colonel Writes Letter to New Jersey Women, Advocating Cause. Montclair, N. J.. Oct. 7. The Equal Suffrage league here, which Is con ducting a campaign that is expected to give a vote for woman suffrage in this town that will be larger in pro portion to population than that of any other municipality in New Jersey on October 19, is giving publicity to a message it has received from former President Theodore Rcorevelt. "I want to speak to the men who have the right to vote and who are re creant in their duty if they don't see that the women share it with them," said Colonel Roosesvelt In his message to the Montclair suffragists. "I ask every decent, self-respecting citizen who has the right to vote to join the movement to secure for women the suffrage now denied them. We have woman suffrage in the western states. I don't think that the east will per manently lag behind. Civilization is spreading. "Vice and crime are conducted by a portion of the population in which there are ten men to one woman. And when you see men who make a busi ness of that which is foul and base rallying against a cause, you may be convinced that it is pretty good com mon sense to stick to that cause. Mind you, I don't believe that getting votes for women will cure all our Ills, but I give it as my deliberate and careful judgment that in every state where suffrage has been tried there has been, as far as I know, no single in stance where it has produced damage. And There has been case after case where it has worked to the universal betterment of social and civic condi tions." White Attends Riley Birthday. Emporia, Kan., Oct. 7.

Washington, Oct. 7. Mr. Albert B. Lambert, vice president of the Navy league and founder of the United States aerial reserve, is entered in the national balloon race, which is to start from Wichita on Thursday, October 7. Mr. Lambert is an enthusiastic bal loonist as well as an experienced aero plane pilot, holding licenses in this country, France, England and Ger many. He will pilot one of his several balloons and hopes to make a record flight. Mr. Lambert comes to Wichita with a dual purpose. He will not only enter in the balloon race but he ex pects during his visit to do an impor tant work in behalf of national de fense. He will visit many of the most prominent and influential men in Wichita and in several Kansas towns in which he will stop during his trip from St. Louis, and will point out to them the dangers of our present un defended condition in case we should be drawn into war. He hopes to start active and aggressive Navy league sec tions in Wichita, Topeka and several other Kansas towns and to heighten interest all over the state in the work. Mr. Lambert was recently elected vice president of the Navy league and his work with that organization on behalf of a navy adequate to block the ocean pathways against the transports of any nation which might desire to attack this country, promises to be as useful as his work in the field of avia tion. He is a firm believer in the navy as this country's logical defense because by maintaining a navy we shall be forever able to avoid the huge standing armies which have disorgan ized Europe and because with a pow erful i,avy even should a foreign na tion declare war upon us their troops would be unable to reach American territory to commit damages and depredations. After the races Mr. Lambert plans to spend several weeks in Kansas. N. Y. ROTARIANS MEET Listen to "Long Distance" Music Played in Trisco. New York, Oct. 7.

DeVilbiss, chief of the child hygiene division of the Kansas board of health.

The article which appears under the head "A Side Light on General Suf frage in Kansas," follows in par "Centuries ago men wore clothing as unconvenient and unsanitary as wom en do now. In Kansas a woman farmer or a woman whose work re quires great activity or such activity that skirts would hamper her can lay them off and adopt whatever costume she desires." Dr. DeVilbiss's article devotes con siderable space to commending condi tions of civil life in Kansas ana con trasts the beautiful cities of Kansas with the more unkempt ones of the FOOD FOR RAH-RAHS Diet for Harvard Under Grads Sug gested to All Collegians.
