Cherokee, Kllis, Hodgeman. Norton. Rawlins, Stanton, Thomas, Wichita and Wilson counties. I Late official reports from western 1 Kansas counties bore out early predic- tions that the vote for Fred Knapp and Dan Dyer would be Increased in the race for auditor. Knapp has a lend of 1.300 at noon today over Frank Organ. The race Is expected to con- tinue close. While Knapp has a seem- 1 inglv safe lead, yet lobsided returns from some of the western counties may be sufficient to upset the Belolt mnn's present lead. Phenomonal sains have been made by Dan Dyer in late 1 V- V. 1 1 V .1 fmm '1 1 poor third to within striking distance of first place. Too much Eli Payne is responsible for the defeat of Lizzie Wooster for superintendent. Payne's vote in the counties where his name came first and a split of the opposition to the Ross rule permitted the present super intendent to slip through for a third nomination. Inrk Horses" Run. Every political observer in Kansas hrid his dope sheet spoiled in the race for Republican nominations for state nuditor and state superintendent. In both races "dark horse" candidates were contenders or winners. I'ayne, who holds a sxfe load for state treas urer, was always figured in the money. Hut no poliltcal wise man gave Evans tnythins but fourth place. Now he is in the second position with Wylie W. Cook and Matt Welghtman, both fla- j vorites. in cellar positions. Frrd Knapp's surprising race for; the state auditorship is explained by; the vote of the Progressives. Vet there; was no candidate tn the running for whom less sentiment was expressed. The former Bull Moosers seemingly took their cue. went to the polls and voted their sentiments without com ment. The result has seemingly de feated Frank Organ, generally listed as a favorite. It has also crippled Dan Dyer, listed in all dope sheets as the one man who might2beat Organ for the nomination. Some of the larger counties have not completed their canvass of the primary returns. These reports may not reacn lopena until tonight. It! ii possible these returns may make i oranges in tne present relative stand ing of candidates for state auditor. The race for state treasurer and su perintendent, however, is settled on the face of present returns. KAISrSlrTHARVEST 'iernian Emperor Wielding Scythe In the Fields. Berlin. Aug. 5.

He has acquired a healthy an. Public interest in Germany has once more turned from the German offen sive to the home harvest, which is re tr.rded of far gr?ater importance to he outcome of the war. The badly needed hot weather has it Inst set in and promises to continue. A.i a result, the crop reports, which :.re pouring in from all parts of Ger many, are increasingly optimistic, i'.umper crops of rye. barley and oats are now being confidently predicted.

BID FOR MOOSE VOTES Vance McCormlek Crges California Progressives to Support Wilson. New Tork. Aug. 6. Chairman Vance C. McCormlek of the national Democratic committee has wired an appeal for Bull Moose aid for Wilson to the Progressives of California. Expressnig his regret that he could not participate in the Wood row Wil son independence Progressive con ference set for San Francisco, Chair man McCormlek telegraphed Presi dent Joseph S. Thompson "By 'radical' I understand one who goes too far; by 'conservative,' one who does not go far enough; by "re actionary,' one who won't go at all. I suppose that I must be a progressive, which I take to be one who insists upon recogniznig new facts, adjusting policies to facta and circumstances as they arrive. "This spirit of progreasivism has ac tuated all of Woodrow Wilson's pub lic service. Under his administration, the major part of the program pro posed in the Progressive national plat form of 1912 has been enacted Into law. "Invisible government,' which is now making desperate efforts to 'come back,' was driven from power by his administration, and will have no place in Washington so long as he is in the White House. "The Democratic national commit tee welcomes the support of all inde pendent citizens who share its ideals and purposes. To the men and women of California represented at your con ference it submits itself on its record as the one available instrumentality for progressive service." AUDITOR. STOP THAT BEAR! Mobilizing In Desperate Effort to Halt Russian Drive. Germans to Launch Gigantic Counter Offensive in East. Petrogrsd, Aug. 5. Russian troops have crossed the river Sereth south of P.rody, and In the region of Peniaki Tchistopady and have consolidated the ciptured positions, it was officially an nounced today by the Russian war de partment. London, Aug. 5. The Germans are massing both troops and guns on the eastern front for a great counter-offensive under von Hindenburg de signed to stem the Russian advance against Kovel and Lemberg. This news was received here from several neutral points today and was partly confirmed in dispatches from Berlin. For several days troop trains have been leaving Berlin dally, carry ing reserves to the eastern front. Ber lin believes the crisis of the war is ap proaching on the eastern front and for this reason great crowds are gather ing daily to bid the departing troops farewell. Crown Prince Goes to Galicia. Field Marshal von Mackensen. who iraugurated the great German offen sive against the Russians a year ago, has joined von Hindenburg on the east ern front. The Austrian crown prince recently on the Italian front has as sumed charge of operations in Galicia. Reports from Amsterdam today said the first blow probably would be struck in the southeast, where the Slavs have achieved the greatest suc cess, Hindenburg aiming to throw back the whole Russian line by driv ing in the left bank and at the same time silencing the Rumanian leaders, who have been urging King Ferdinand to join the allies. The battle, it is believed, will gradually spread until the whole eastern front is involved in a gigantic struggle comparable to that of early last summer. Try to Save Kovel. It Is too early to determine whether the strong German counter attack in the region east of Kovel form the be ginning of the expected Austro-Ger-man offensive. The Russian war of fice admits the evacuation of Rudka Mirinskaia under heavy Austro-Ger-man attacks, but the fighting at this point continues. 41 DIE IN 24 HOURS Epidemic Toll in New Tork Shows No Abatement.

TRUE WIFE WAITS WHILE HUSBAND COURTS ANOTHER Topeka Family of Good Repu tation in Most Odd Case. Man Keeps "Other Woman" Until His Affection Dies. MUST COME BACK ON KNEES First Love, His Legal Mate, Beady to Welcome Him Home. "I Love Husband He Loves Me He Will Return." The perfect paragon of patience in the female species that's the only place to look for one has been dis covered. Robert Garver, assistant county attorney, discovered her.1"-. She lives In Topeka. She Is mar ried. She has lost her husband to another woman but she doesn't want a divorce. If she wanted a divorce or if she would have her husband arrest ed for wife desertion there would be an excuse for using her name. As it is, there is no excuse. "My husband," she told Robert Gar ver, "is Infatuated with another wo man. We have been married for seven years and he has been a good man. But for some reason or other he has fallen for this other woman and is keeping her at a hotel here in town." "Why don't you get a divorce from him?" asked Garver. "No, I don't want a divorce," re plied the woman. "I love my hus band and he loves me. He doesn't know it right now because he is all muddled over this other woman. But his infatuation will wear out after a time. I know him. And when it wears out he will come back to me on his knees. No, I don't want a divorce from him." "Well, then," said Garver, "why don't you have him arrested for wife desertion?" "Even that would give him a lot of publicity and would brand him as something he really Is not," said the loyal wife. "No, I don't want to have him arrested. He's a good man and I love him." "Well, for heaven's sake what do you want to do then?" asked Garver. What She Wanted. "The point is Just this," said the woman. "I know his infatuation -fo this 'other" will fade away in time. She can't keep the hold on him I have after seven years of married life. He will come back to me. But in the meantime I've got to live. I thought that perhaps I could arrange without any publicity or court action so that he could pay me some money eacii week during the pendency of his in fatuation." Garver was puzzled. He had never before heard of such a proposal from an injured wife. But he didn't smile and he didn't try to shake the wife's faith in her husband's ultimate faanity. He said he'd try. The assistant county attorney com municated with the husband; the hus band communicated with a lawyer. And today the thing was patched up the way the wife proposed. Itie hus band agreed, without any angry words to pay his wife 4 a week as long as his infatuation for the other woman holds out. When the end comes he must either go back to his wife on his knees as she predicts he will or continue to pay the four dollars a week. Duo to Blow up. The wife believes the infatuation is about due to blow up. She thinks her rival's Influence has about reached its limit but she ran out of money before the infatuation ran out. "I never before heard of anything of the kind, said Garver. "I was aston ished at the woman's proposal, but I was more astonished when the hus band responded to it without a word. Apparently the arrangement is satis factory all around. Of course we could have the husband and the worn an with whom he is1 said to be living arrested and punished, but I am going to see this Injured wife through in her own way if possible. The man In the case is employed In a business house on Kansas avenue. His name and that of the woman his wife complains of are on file in the county attorney's office. Garver says both husband and wife are above the average in personal appearance and that both bear good reputations. THE IOWA PAPER Why Governor Capper and Pelletier "Let Go." Concerning the recent purchase and sudden sale of the Sioux City Daily News by Governor Capper, in an nouncing the second sale and the sus pension of the paper, the Sioux City Journal says the amount involved was practically the same in both the pur chase and the sale by Governor Cap per. The Sioux City Tribune says: "Aft er purchase of the paper a number of employes of Capper publications came to Sioux City and investigated the field and the prospects of maintaining the paper here. What they may have re torted is conjecture, but it is known here on the streets that the advertisers did not encourage them. On the sub scription side the situation was still more discouraging and Mr Capper and his associates concluded to close down the paper." One Sioux City business man writes to the State Journal: "The sale and resale of the Sioux City News to and by Governor Capper showed the Sioux City people that Mr. Pelletier waa an Interested party in the ownership. The Capper advertising force was here for several days. They talked with the business men, but the business men did not take kindly to having a merchant competitor in the newspaper business. Mr. Capper could not break into the newspaper field in Sioux City in a hundred years without being on the ground. The business men here did not want a third paper." GET TUNNEL BODIES Two Blast Victims Taken Out Bur led Under Tons of Mad. Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. S. Bodies of two workmen buried in the explosion in the waterworks tunnel here a week ago Monday night were recovered by rescue parties today. The bodies had been buried under tons of mud There are seven more bodies In the tunnel. TURKS AFTER 'EM Force of 14,000 Open Attack on British in Egypt- Wage Desert Battle With Tem perature at 100 In Shade. London, Aug. 6. A Turkish force, estimated at 14.000, launched an at tack against British positions near Roman!, about twenty-three miles east of the Suez canal on Thursday night, the war office announced today. The battle is continuing with great in tensity but the Turks thus far have been unable to make any impression on the British positions. Roman! is a small station thirty-one miles southeast of Port Said and about three miles from the shore of the Mediterranean. It lies just horth of the caravan trail leading from Egypt to Syria. The battle is going on along a front of from seven to eight miles HUGHES POSES FOR Mr. and Mr. Charles Hughes at their summer hom n Long Island. Wb new picture of Mr. and Mrs, Charles E. Hughes was taken on the eve of Mr. Hughes' long speech -mafc Ing tour, which will take him to the Pacific coast. As the photograph seems to show. Mr. Hughes is in the best of health and spirits.. extending on both aides of the Syrian caravan route. Turks Are Repulsed. The latest dispatches to the war of fice, filed at dusk Friday, said that the Turks had made no gains against the strongly fortified British line. The cambat was being waged over the sands in a temperature of 100 degrees in the shade. On the southern flank the British not only repelled Turkish attacks but captured between 400 and 600 pris oners. On the northern flank British warships stationed in the Bay of Tina rendered valuable assistance, shelling the Turkish right wing. BASlBAUTANS! Do Yon Know You Are Liable to Lose the Savages! Poor Attendance Causes Club to Drop $1,000 a Month. A big gob of gloom is liable to drop out of a clear sky some fine hot day, and when the dust and debris are cleared away Topekans will find that they no longer have a Western league baseball team to advertise the city and furnish amusement to its citizens. It was learned today from an au thentic source that the management of the local club is losing at least $1,000 a month and has been losing this amount since the opening of the sea son. The attendance has been poor and has been steadily falling off. The cause of this condition is im material, but no sane business man can expect another sane man to try to continue to promote baseball here under these conditions. John Savage, the local club owner, is making no howl, no complaint and is saying noth ing other than that he is continually losing money. But it stands to reason that if conditions continue, the end of Western league baseball in the Kansas capital is not far away. Is Topeka Too Small?

As we neared Parte, the passengers from Bordeaux almost to a man gave their seats to wounded soldiers who were being taken to Paris to be fitted with artificial limbs.

If is marked by perfect co-operation between the British ana rrencn, months of careful preparation, steady, methodical advance, and an enormous supply of ammunition all along ".he western front. Particularly Interest ing is the fact that the men are al most held in check. Already allied troops have been wounded by their own curtain fire be cause they went ahead too far and too eagerly In advance of orders. The British in particular are looked for ward to with tne greatest Interest. They are now for the first time really prepared to do something. Zt is said they have enough ammunition piled behind their lines to maintain a ter rific artillery attack for several weeks. The allied artillery preparation of the last week has undoubtedly been the most thorough of the war, enabling the French and English to make their first advances with the least possible loss of men. Officially Paris awaits the advance of the allies with calm, but I notice that on the streets people eagerly snatch for the latest editions of the local Journals. X'll let you hear from me from time to time. I expect to go to England in August and then back to Lawrence early in September.

Nine automobiles filled with De troit policemen and two loaded with deputy sheriffs in command of Sheriff Oakman took tip the chase a "ihort time after the holdup.

With no trace yet found of the five automobile bandits, the search at noon today had been extended to all points within a hundred mile radius of Detroit. The police declare one or tne theories they are working on is that the daring holdup was an inside job. They point to the fact the robbery was carried out in broad daylight in a crowded street in full view of scores of persons without a hitch as evidence that tne robbers mignt nave had confederate in the Burroughs plant. Officers of the company, however, repudiate any Intimation that any of their emoloves possibly was Involved. Witnesses declare not more than two minutes were occupied by the rob bers in carrying out the holdup and starting to nee. SPEAKER PLATS TODAY. Cleveland Star Back In His Old Place With Bum Ankle.

Dun's Review today says: Exceptionally gnxtifylng report re garding trade industry and transpor tation are somewhat modified by lesa favorable news from the agricultural regions. Yet the reduced crop esti mates, while accentuating the ten dency toward wholesome conserv atism, have not raised doubts as to the maintenance of the forward move ment in business. In spite of various drawbacks and uncertainties, confidence in sustained economic progress is undiminished, the large increase In new enterprises testifying to strong faith in the future. Notwithstanding the magnitude of previous purchases', many Interests are disposed to extend commitments further, being prompted to cover far distant needs by fears of a growing scarcity of supplies and the possibility that prices may go still higher. Recoveries have occurred in certain llnee that recently showed evidence of reaction such as in steel and dry goods, while additional advances appear in commodities which thus far have given no signs of yielding.

DISCLOSE SORDID STORY Air Bubble Murder Victim Didn't Stay With Girl Chum One Night. Olney, 111., Aug. .5, One night in the life of Elizabeth Ratclif f e, "air bubble" murder victim. Just one week before her death on a lonely coun try road near this city, has not been accounted for. According to Mrs. Bert Fancher, sis ter of the tragedy victim, Elizabeth spent, at least the evening of that night, in company of Roy Hinterliter, held in the county Jail here awaiting action of the grand Jury on a charge of murder. Mrs. Fancher declares Hinterliter took the girl out early in the evening. Later she returned saying it was "all off' betwen her and Hinterliter and that she would spend the evening with a chum, Miss Carrie Cole. Came Home at S A. M. Miss Cole declares she saw nothing of Elizabeth on that night. Eliza beth returned home, Mrs. Fancher says, at 6 o'clock the next morning dusty and evidently not having slept. The information given caused ths authorities to place considerable more credence in the rumor from Charles ton, 111., that the couple visited there several days before the tragedy. The rumor declares Hinterliter attemptod to hire a physician There to perform an operation upon the girl. Realizing that verification of the rumor would go a long way toward showing Hinter liter contemplated an operation, such as is-alleged to have caused the girl's death, the authorities are leaving no stone unturned to run it down. BRITISH GAINED GROUND General Haig Reports Advance West of Village of Pozieres. London. Aug. 6.

CIIAICETO CUT Board of Education May Re duce Its Levy This Tear. Will Need Nothing for Sinking Fund for Four Years. M. C. Holman, clerk of the board of education, has reported to the board that the annual school levy can be reduced a little more than .25 of a mill each year for the next four years Without impairing the efficiency of the Topeka school system. The annual levy will be made Monday evening at a meeting of the board of education. For a number of years the levy has aggre gated 7 mills and a fraction. Now it can be 6.76 mills. The creation of a sinking fund and the payment in the last year of $84,000 of bonded indebtedness and the fact that there are no school bonds due for the next four years, added to the de crease in interest On bonds, are the reasons assigned for a reduction In the school levy. At the end of four years tne bond payment will be slight and small sinking fund levy, compared to those of past years, will care for the bonds at the end of four years. Fol lowing are the levies made last year and the money which should have oeen realised from vie same: The Levy. Building fund, 1 mill $56,012.31 Sinking fund, .61 mills.... 83,li07.8 Interest fund, .41 mill.... 32,404.82 Playground, .01 mill 680.12 Total 94,18.1 Of this amount $350,000 has been received and in October the board will receive a payment from the state treasurer of $20,000 or $22,000. The remainder will be coming in for years on property sold for taxes. The general fund last year was up to the limit allowed by law, as was the building fund. Both funds will be levied to the limit this year. At pres ent there Is $30,000 In the building fund ready for payment on the build ing of JLincoln school. The 1 mill levy on the- present valuation will raise $67,000 this year. The building will be completed In September, 101 7, and on January 1, 1918, a few months later, after another levy is made, every cent will be paid on the building. To peka will not be obliged to vote a bond. It is probable recommendations will be made that the coming legislature make it legal for school boards to combine the funds in the general and building funds and thus give the boards more leeway in paying current expenses.

To the American Public: Do you believe in arbitration or indus trial warfare? The train employes on all the railroads have voted whether they will give their leaders authority to tie up the commerce of the country to enforce their demands for a 100 million dollar wage increase. The railroads are in the public service your service. This army of employes is in the public service your service. You pay for rail transportation 3 billion dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes.

The railroads have proposed the settle ment of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by refer ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion.

Let ters have been written to Congressman D. R. Anthony, Jr., by Attorney Gen eral Brewster, the public utilities com mission and County Attorney C. W. Reeder of Doniphan county, all pro testing against the railroad company's being given permission to reconstruct Its bridge until a satisfactory adjust ment of the tolls question can be reached. The bridge was orginally built by a private company for use as a toll bridge. At present it is the property of the St. Joseph Grand Island and is looked upon by Kansas officials as a part of the tracks of the company and. as such, the company, the of ficials contend, should not be per mitted to charge a toll for passengers crossing this bridge any more than for crossing any other bridge on its sys tem. Congressman Anthony has recom mended to the war department that no permission be granted the railroad company to reconstruct its bridge until some satisfactory adjustment of the tolls controversy is reached. He fur ther has assured the Kansas officials that he will do his utmost to insert a provision in the measure for recon struction which will afford some relief from the toll which the railroad com pany imposes on its passengers.

For Nervous Indigestion TAKE HORSFORD'S ACID PHOS PHATE relieves the distressed stom ach, restores appetite And strength. Adv. Chicago, Aug. 6. Raymond Rob' ins. chairman of the Progressive on- ventlon and candidate of the Illinois Progressives for United States senator in 1914, announced today that he would support Charles Evans Hughes, Republican nominee for president: de clared that It was "manifest" that the Progressive party was dead, and as serted that "wise and sincere Pro gressives" should Join with Republi cans iri the "common struggle tor so cial and industrial justice in city, state and nation." In the statement which was ad dressed to the Progressives of the country, Mr. Robins said: We Stand at Crossroads. "We Progressives stand at the crossroads. American social, indus trial and political life has broken down under the old individualistic control. A new national mind and conscience developing social unity, in dustrial standardization, efficient po litical honesty; from a self controlled democracy this is the goal of our generation in American life. I oelieve in the character and courage of the nominee of the Republican party. He is the most conspicuous example in our history of the possibilities that American politics may hold for success in able and unselfish public service. For myself I gladly enlist with the great majority of the Progressives of the nation under the leadership of Charles Evans Hughes." "The supreme need in American po litical life is leadership supported by a voting rank and file that will or ganize and maintain an adequate so cial industrial and military prepared ness, together with a comprehensive foreign polity," the statement -naid. "Can these imperative national needs be worked out by a state rights Democratic party that plans a state dominated national guard with Its menace of shiftless incompetence, spoils politics and organized snobbery in a national defense force at a time of world peril. Voters Decreed Party Is Dead. "Comprehending our national neces sities, how can Progressives hesitate long to choose between the party of nationalism and the party of sectional ism? Sh uld not wise and sincere Progressives go en masse into the Re Dublican primaries. and fighting shoulder to shoulder with progressive Republicans help and be helped in our common struggle for social and Industrial Justice In city, state and na tion. If this is generally done we can continue to work together and bring back a chastened Republican party to its ancient faith in human rights and national integrity." Reviewing the party history the statement said: "In the 1914 and 1916 primaries the Progressive voters of 1912 deliberately and in overwhelming numbers aban doned the Progressive party. The re fusal of the Progressive national com mittee to favor a third ticket candi dacy did no more than to make final the Judgment entered by the Progres sive voters themselves. When the Progressive convention had adjourned and ti.e entire situation was ttonsid ored it was manifest that the end which the voters had decreed had come that the Progressive party was dead."

Stricken with apoplexy while walking in the street, Clinton Dewitt Smith, 62. Cor nell university expert in agriculture, died here today. Professor Smith was one of the leading authorities on agri culture in the United States. He originated the special course and de signed the model dairy buildings of the University of Michigan and Minnesota. The inning of the day laborer has come and he is losing no time in fat tening his batting average, say con tractors who are handling municipal work. For some time each week has brought with it an ever increasing scarcity of laborers and unless condi tions are relieved within a few weeks, contractors say they will face an un usually annoying problem. "A number of our men are constant ly being offered better places," says J. A. Pringle, who holds a big paving contract, "and we are up against it to hold our gangs together. Some ot our best men, fellows who have been with us for years have gone into other work. "The condition indicates general prosperity and the fact that some of our men have left the state makes it appear that the prosperous condition is pretty general. The fact that we have for some time paid higher wages than were paid a year ago also 's significant. "Under ordinary conditions, a little want ad in the daily papers would bring from twenty-f've to fifty appli cants for work. Ads inserted last week failed to bring out a single man capable of holding a job on one of our gangs. The same condition is ex isting everywhere in the city." To avoid any unforeseen situations. contractors are making every effort to rush work now in course of construc tion. One contractor employing about 100 men practically has completed his contract and it is expected that the situation will be somewhat relieved when the men on his gang are thrown on the market. According to local contractors, men who a year ago were earning $1.80 a day are now being paid from S2 to S3 a day. Cement mills in the east have taken a number of first class laborers out of the city, it is said. DRY, HOTAND STEADY July Broke Records on Lack of Rain Little Variety in Month. The month of July just passed was the driest July on record in Kansas since the statewide weather observa tions were begun in 1887, according to the monthly report issued today by the weather bureau here. The month also was the driest on record at sev eral individual stations, namely: Law rence, Independence, Hays City and Ellinwood, where the record was be gun in 1870, the record shows. The weather bureau summary was com piled from reports from 120 stations in the state. The report follows: "The month was the fourth hottest July on record and had more sunshine than any other month in thirty years' time. "It was a month of steady heat and while there were no record breaking high temperatures there was hardly a day in any part of the state when the temperature was not above 90 degrees and at a great many places it was 100 degrees or higher on from eight to twelve days of the month. The high est temperature reported was 107 de grees at Toronto and St. Francis and the lowest 48 at Blakeman. "The average rainfall over the east ern third of the state was .79 inch; the middle third. .66 Inch: the west ern third. .87 Inch; and for the entire state. .75 inch, which is only "a fifth of the normal amount and scarcely more than half the amount of the previous driest July. "There was not enoueh rainfall in be measured on any day over approx imately a tentn or the state and the montniy amounts were less than an inch at most places No county re ceived enough moisture for its needs during the month. The greatest monthly amount reported was 3.79 inches at Blue Rapids, and the least, ero at Coldwater, Hutchinson and Wellington. "It was a fine month for finishing wheat harvest, threshing and making hay but It brought disaster to the corn crop which at the close was reported to have been damaged from 40 to 60 per cent by the drouth. The greater damage was to the corn on uplands and where it had not been well culti vated, had generally passed the place where it was of any value except for fodder. Pastures were becoming short by the time the month closed nnd gardens were dried up except where they were irrigated."

BOOSTS RAILROAD TRAVEL Vacation Resorts Seem to Dot Mountains Oyer Sight. Little Known Lakes of Yester day "ow Widely Known. In the summer, about thin time of year, the fancy of the tired business man turns to thoughts of mountain trout, shady nooks and a mountain side camp where he can fight chig cers. mosquitoes and between times let the sun burn the top of his hea'l, de void of hair, until It puffs up in little blisters thrt will make his stenogra pher gicsle. That suits his fancy in summer just the same as his yearn ing turns to the front seat in a bur ltrque Rhow where he kids himself into believing he is having the time of hiR life and becoming wise in addi tion in wintnr. And the fancy of the tired business man which affects him in summer is bresking all records for passenger traffic on western railroads this sum mer. Every train, Santa Fe, Hock Is land and t'nion Pacific, passing through Topeka, carries scores of out ing parties and individuals to the sum mer resorts in the Rocky mountains. The summer resorts of the west, there are hundreds of them not including, the old established ones, are rivaling the boom towns of years ago Betore the war broke out and submarines made ocean travel unpleasant, the man who went to an American resort was pressed for time or money or both. Now, it is quite the thing to take a Jaunt to Colorado, California, the north woods or similar places and camp bang out in the open, J ou know, and rough it de luxe, A de luxe outing is all the ad jective implies. For truth, it is whis pered in exclusive circles of the West end one Topeka woman took two maids and a cook when she accom panied her husband, a tired business man, on a camping trip in Colorado. Colorado the Favorite. Colorado is the favorite pleasure 'spot for Topekans this summer. Lakes in the Colorado mountains, which only a few persons knew existed two years ago, have been discovered, renovated, remodeled and advertised along with camping and bungalow sites on their shores, and the railroads are doing the biggest Colorado business in their his tory. One Topeka railroad, the Santa Fe, has advertised that a two-weeks' vaca tion trip to Colorado costs only (50. The price is attractive and the moun tains are said to be worth it. Of course, it depends on how yoa feel, if a trip only costs $50, but it has been proven it can be done. The Bock Island and Union Pacific have alao turned loose a flood of literature on American summer resorts, particularly Colorado and adjacent states. Here are a few of the camping and outing places in that state: Ounnison river. Frying Pan river, Manitou, Ute Pass reBorts, Mt. McClellan, Palmer Lake, Clear Lake and Platte Canyons, Stonewall valley, Glenwood Springs. Grand Lake, Woods lake. Twin Lakes, Buena Vista and scores of other places.

BRIDGE ON COTTONWOOD PILES White Men Encouraged to Re tire by Pension Offer. Manila. Aug. 6. Some of the b.g gest shifts in the personnel of the government of the Philippine in re cent years are now occurring through resignations or retirements, opening a number of executive positions to na tive Filipinos, in accordance with the policy of the present administration. Harry T. Edwards, director of agri culture has retired, after fifteen years of service. He, like a number of others, has taken advantage of the retirement act passed at the last ses sion of the insular legislature whore by government employes of long serv ice may retire with a pension of a year's full pay. He is to be succeeded by Adriano Hernandex, one of the most progressive Filipinos in the gov ernment service who for the last year has bean an assistant director of the bureau of agriculture. Stephen Bonsai has resigned from his post as a member of the board of utility commissioners. His place is to be filled by Dr. Bernard Herstein, in sular collector of customs for the past three years, who, in turn is to be suc ceeded by John S. Stanley for nine years deputy collector of customs. The latter vacancy is to be filled by the appointment of Vicente Aldanez the first Filipino to be given an important executive position in the bureau of customs. First In Bureau of Education. Another shakeup has occurred in the bureau of education owing to the retirement of Frank L. Crone as di rector and the appointment of the as sistant director, Walter M. Marquardt, to succeed him. This makes possible the promotion of a Filipino, Jose Es calor. who has been a city attorney, to be assistant director of education this being the first instance of a Fili pino holding an important executive position in the bureau of education. The most notable instance of the Filipinlzation of the government is the appointment of Joaquin de Luna, for mer member of the assembly as the governor of a mountain province in habited almost entirely by the so called wild tribes, or the head hunters. Governor Luna succeeds an American of many years experience. Bach dis trict will retain its sub-governor, an American, but the Filipino will have chief authority and it is believed he is embarking upon a difficult task. WASHBURN COLLEGE est I TOPEKA. KANSAS.

Didn't Take Long for High Water to Carry It Away. Pontoon Structure Also Lost in Rush of Waters. "The discussion about highways at the lunch of the Commercial club this week brought to mind some incidents connected with the early efforts to keep and maintain the main highway between the Missouri river and New Mexico via Topeka," said P. I. Bone brake today. "The north bank of the river was the south boundary of the Kaw Half Breed Indians' reservation. The Kansas river was for a time the north boundary line of Shawnee county. "The method of crossing the river was by the 'Pappan' rope frry man aged by Louis Pappan, a Frenchman of the Half Breed tribe. The high vay between Leavenworth and New Mexico and the far west was by way of Topeka, and a very important mat ter to its development. All United Mates troops and supplies for Fort Union and Mexican trade came this way. "Two other points were discussing new bridges and Topeka had to be active. The rope ferry was inade quate. We must have a bridge. After many efforts a -contract was made with a firm, Jones, Kidney Co., to erect a wooden bridge at a cost of $3 0,000 payable in county script. Tim ber was abundant and free. The r ridge was built on Cottonwood piles and was completed and opened for traffic on the first of May, 1868. "Now the people were happy, but their joy was of short duration. In July, 1858, the winds and floods came and Kansas river, the Shunganunga and Soldier river were out of the bvnks and on July 17, the bridge was lifted from its place and floated away. "When the bridge went down sev eral regiments of United States troops with government supplies were lodged on the north bank, and the people ap pealed to Secretary J. B. Floyd of the war department for assistance in building a bridge, a military necessity. Floyd was too busy sending soldiers, arms and munitions of war to the south in anticipation of the coming Civil war. The unpreparedness of the government at that time through Floyd's treachery cost us the Battle of Bull Run. "The next effort was the construc tion of the pontoon bridge, whicli lasted a while but a flood came and it floated away to Join its predecessor. "Next came an iron bridge built by private parties, a toll bridge, which the county finally bought with county bonds. This bridge lasted until the r.resent steel-cement bridge was ei ected. "We do not feel anxious when the river is at flood tide now. We believe we are secure. or course we nave passed the period where we depend so much on public highways, as the rail roads do most of the traffic in travel and freight.' Looking back upon our troubles of early days shows a good deal of faith and courage on the part of the people who were determined to make a city of Topeka.

Manhattan, Kan., Aug. S. Hog cholera eradication associations will mean the ultimata elimination of the dreaded bog cholera in Kansas, In the opinion of Dr. F. 8. Schoenleber, pro fessor of veterinary medicine in the Kansas State Agricultural college. "Since starting the eradication work obstacles seemingly unaur mountable have been passed and it the money were available it could safely be said that cholera would be practically eradicated from the state in a short time," says Doctor Schoen leber. These associations are mads up of central officers and a vice president for each township. The vice presi dent appoints one man for each four sections of land who must be a mem ber of the association. In case of an outbreak of cholera or sickness among hogs, it is reported at once to one of these men, who in turn notifies the veterinarian, who goes out ana vac cinates, quarantines and gives direc tion for cleaning up. "The veterinarians of the counties which have these organizations met at Manhattan with the college officials and adopted a uniform method of handling hog cholera problems. Any man in the organisation may have his hogs vaccinated at a cost of one and one-half cents per cubic centimeter of serum administered. Others Will Follow. "This method is working out suc cessfully and other counties are ex pecting to get into the game. Records show that nearly 8,000 hogs have been vaccinated in Nemaha county alone within the last three months. The college has kept a man there direct ing the work and looking after the sanitary conditions. "Many of the farmers will not come in until they have an outbreak of cholera, which makes organization more difficult. The most successful way of handling the problem will be to have funds enough so that the col lege can have a man on the Job to lecture, advise, help take care of the dlBease and keep it from spreading. The state livestock commissioner should have money enough to send experts to the affected counties and help clean up and disinfect, the idea being that the serum will eradicate the cholera from the hogs, but will not eradicate it from the premises. Sanitary conditions are Important be cause of young pigs, which should not be vaccinated before they weigh SO or tu pounds. 209 W. 6th St. Phone 1790 Little 16-year-old Tony Alberico of Phillipsburg, Kansas, has been in this country but three years but he has absorbed enough of the American SDirlt to demand a vacation after toil His error came wnen ne inea 10 stretch the increment resulting from four weeks toil, in the harvest fields, over four weeks of leisure plus rail way fare to Missouri and back.

"I weel now go back to my uncle's at Pheelipsburg," the little Italian an nounced. "When. I have work some more 1 weel take another vacation. America ees very interesting and I want to see it all. "Next time I will count my money better." It's easy to bewilder the eye and quicker to deceive it as it's well re called by the old saying that "the motion is quicker than the eye," Therefore the riders, acrobats, animal trainers and endless array of arenic death-defying performers have noth ing easier to do than to enthrall, amaze or electrify, but to make them laugh, aye there's the rub. Victor Hugo once commented upon the clown's work as follows: "He could make them laugh, and, as we have said before to make people laugh is to make them forget what a bene factor to humanity is he who can be stow forgetfulness.' Realizing the truth of Hugo's statement Barnum Bailey this season have the satisfac tion of offering fifty merry Jesters with nothing else to do but make the people laugh. The efficiency of laughmaking as demonstrated by the Barnum Bailey clowns is positive proof that no Amer ican circus is complete without tho pantomimic mirth-provoker.

Tom Howe, the veteran chief of the Pitts burg fire department, is one of the most popular men in Pittsburg now. umer Howe is the official "rain maker" for the city. Ten days ago Mayor William Lanyon and Chief Howe conceived the idea of cooling off the premises of a widely known resident who was ill by sprinkling ths street in front of his home and also sprinkling the house. The experiment was such a success that similar operations were conduct ed at the home of several other per sons who were ill. The firemen sprinkled at the homes of twenty seven sick persons scattered over the city. In addition the other houses around those in which persons were ill were sprinkled to give the neigh borhood a cooling. The list is growing each day and Chief Howe expects to take care of everybody. The city owns tne waterworks and no meters are at' tached to the fire hydrants.

Fifty Progressive leaders from eighteen states in conference here decided to perpetuate the party but voted again holding anotner national to or selecting a candidate to fill the va cancy made by Theodore Roosevelt. It was planned before the conference ended to keep the party in existence by nominating state and local tickets, maintaining electoral candidates and leaving the name of John M.

In addition to denouncing the "be trayal of trust" of the national com mittee in endorsing Hughes at Chi cago, the delegates stopped a move ment to endorse President Wilson without letting it get a good headway.

In closing the conference the re port of the resolutions committee, composed of Bainbridge Colby, New York: A. D. Nortoni, Missouri; John B. Taylor, New Tork; J. M. McCor m'ack, Texas, and Mrs. Sarah A. Lyons, of Minnesota, was adopted with cheers. The resolutions demanded these things: First. A committee of 15 be ap pointed to co-operate with the 15 members of the national committee who refused to endorse Hughes in the Chicago meeting-Second- That the committee call a conference as soon after January 1. 1917, as possible and extend invita tions to representatives of other par ties "whose principles most nearly approach those of the national Pro gressive party." Third. That an accounting be re quested from George W. Perkins, treasurer of the Progressive national committee, to ascertain if any Pro gressive funds were used for any other political party, "to the end that such action as may be necessary for the recovery of said money, may be taken." Bainbridge Colby read the manifes to of the party to the Progressives of the country, declaring the Progressive party still seeks its place in the polit ical situation. It denounces the ac tion of the Progressives who have gone over to the Hughes camp and says: "Men whom we have delighted to honor and whom we have rejoiced to follow have not only abandoned the party's cause but have sought to sac rifice its future and to compromise the dignity of its individual member ship by a collusive undertaking with the Republican party to deliver our party strength to the Republican presidential ticket. Can't Be Delivered. "This conference is the culminating protest of the party against the trea sonable attempt to put it out of exist ence as a national party and to de liver Its vote to the Republican party. The Progressive party cannot be de livered. The attempt to do so has already recoiled upon its authors and covered them with discredit and con fusion." Leaders said letters were received from twenty-five states in addition to the eighteen states which were repre sented by delegates. ARE 40,000 YEARS OLD American Scientist I nearths Belles in Ancient Egyptian Palace. Philadelphia, Aug. 5. Stons imple ments and household tools, estimated to be 40,000 years old, forming part of a collection owned by Meremptah, son and sucessor to Rameses the Great, 1,300 years before Christ, have been unearthed in the prehistoric monarch's palace at Memphis, ancient capital of Egypt. Advices telling of these important discoveries have just reached the university museum here from Dr. Clarence 8. Fisher, leader of the Eckley B. Coxe, jr., expedition to Egypt, it was learned today. In a full report. Dr. Fisher describes wandering through the spacious halls of the great palace that for centuries lay buried in ancient Memphis. Gold ornaments, scarabs, vessels of various kinds and vases were found intact, just as they must have been when the lords of those days evacuated. Many of the relics found, says Doc tor Fisher, date back to the Stone Age. Traces of a fire that must have rav ished the palace are found on every side, according to the archaeologist.

Service 1 29 Erp rp KM MMMiJ SHOT ATG. 0. P. J. "Ham" Lewis Opens Up Yials of Campaign Oratory. Reply to Hughes Fats Mexican Blame on Republicans. Washington, Aug. 6. On the heads of the "generals" of the Republican party lies the responsibility for lives lost in Mexico, Democratic Whip Lewis charged today in the senate speech. Lewis announced his speech as an answer to the Mexican issue raised by Charles E. Hughes in his acceptance speech. He declared that irresponsible Mex ican bandits had become encouraged to commit acta of horror because Re publican leaders, in their anxiety to embarrass the president and create a campaign issue, had given the impres sion that the country was not united in support of its executive head. "Here this day, I put the responsi bility for the death of every American soldier killed on the border of Mexico in 1916 upon the heads of the generals or the Republican party," Lewis de clared. "I charge that not until the captains of the Republican party shot at the president of the United States did the Mexican outlaws shoot at the eoldiers of the American president." Mexico, Political Issue. The Mexican issue, he asserted, had been picked up for purposes of ex pediency only after the prosperity naa made the favorite Republican doc trine, the tariff, impracticable. "The cry has gone forth, 'Mexico is the issue the issue, mind you. Not that there is a principle to be vindi cated, justice to be asserted. No, but that Mexico is to be the political issue. "The army is summoned the mer cenary, the concessionaire, the Euro pean bondholder, the mining bucca neers, the land pirates, the pillagers of the peons, the oppressors of liber ty; and all this- procession of bloody tarnished votaries led by the Repub lican nominee, Charles Evans Hughes. "Mr. Hughes declares that Wilson had nothing to do with the morals of Huerta, that it was the obligation of diplomacy to recognize him. With the murdering Borgias, Hughes would exclaim: 'Stand, not on morals, but on power 'tis bloody but hath re wards. Huerta having been eliminated, peace could have been restored with either Villa or Carranza at the government's head, Lewis1 said, had not Americas financial forces and Republican lead ers determined to keep boiling the pot of Mexican disorders. "But by a false display of the na tion's sentiment toward Mexico," he continued, "the Republican masters encouraged every outlaw and cut throat to feel privileged to assail whatever represented Wilson or his policy. These knew they would have the support of a great party in Amer ica which for years had been success ful In electing presidents. Thus it was that just a month after Senator Root had struck his keynote of opposition to a Democratic president the murder ers dashed into Columbus, N. M. Allies of Villa. "The bandits of Villa found their allies in the leaders of the Republican party. All were for the destruction of an American policy and American president. By the doctrine of tho law which holds responsible those who set in motion the machinery which ends in the murde'r of a man, the Republi can platform builders who denounced their president were the perpetrators of the death of these Americans. When they shot at the president of th Unit ed States they summoned also the out laws of Villa and Carranza to kill his soldiers." MARRIED OWN SISTER Arizona Man Finds Himself in a. Strange, Distressing Family Tangle. Madison, 'Wis.. Aug. 5. Roger New ton, a University of Wisconsin gradu ate, now a resident of. Globe, Arix., has discovered that his wife, whom he married nine years ago, is his sis ter. How to straighten out the kink in their life story Is the problem which is worrying them to distrac tion.

The picture was one of her own father and mother. She had known of a brother, but had never heard trhat had become of him. Fireless cookers at Forbes. Adv. ACTION IS NOTED Shawnee's Chairmanship Selec tion Is of Importance. Probable That Sessions Will Become State Chairman. TWO OTHERS ARE MENTIONED Al Williams of Columbus and Fred Greer of Marion. J. C. Gafford Has Been Called Out of the State. Action of the Shawnee county Re publican committee today, in the se lection of a county chairman, is a mat ter of state wide political importance and Is being watched with keen inter est in many localities. Through the probable selection of Charles1 Sessions of Topeka as county chairman. It is likely that Sessions will become the next state chairman to carry out the work which he has largely directed in the last two years. No fight has been made in Kansas for the selection of a Republican state chairman. The matter is being left largely to the candidates for state of fice. Because of this situation, the candidates themselves will watch with interest the action of the Shawnee county committee. A number of these candidates are known to believe that Sessions can direct a course in the campaign that will please both the radicals and the conservatives. Since the election of J. C. Gafford as state chairman two years ago. Ses sions has been in charge of much of the work of the state committee. Business interests have taken Gafford out of the state much of the time and the work fell on Sessions' shoulders. Four years as secretary of state, a number of year as a political reporter and experience and judgment in the political affairs of the state, enabled Sessions to handle the work most sat isfactorily. Now there Is a probabil ity that the Shawnee county commit tee will pave the way to the election of Sessions as permanent chairman of the state committee. Two Others Mentioned. Two candidates have been men tioned outside of Topeka. One is Al F. Williams of Columbus. Williams is a strong man. But he has been in the fights of former years with the conservative wing of the party and is not entirely acceptable to tke pro gressive element. Fred Greer of Ma rion has also been mentioned. But Greer has been on the other side of the fence. His activities in the inter ests of the progressive element did not always please the conservatives. Sessions as provisional chairman has handled the situation fairly and im partially and both elements of the party have shown a tendency to cgree on the Topeka man if he be placed in a position to be elected Because of his work as provisional chairman and his familiarity with the details of the coming campaign. Ses sions has been looked upon as a logi cal man to direct the 1918 battle. Sessions has not made a fight for the election, although his friends are known to have urged his selection and will present his name for county chairman at today's meeting. In order to secure election as state chairman, it is necessary that a man be chairman of his county committee. This week Sessions was elected as pre cinct committeeman without opposi tion. That makes him a member of the county committee and eligible to the county chairmanship. Selection as chairman of the county committee would give Sessions a seat in the party council, which meets in Topeka Au- i gust 29. He would then be eligible for election as state chairman. The fact that Sessions is in touch with every detail of the work at this time, is in a position to direct the work from the state capital, and is accept able to state candidates of both fac tions, it is generally believed, will lead the county committee this afternoon to take the first step looking toward Sessions's election to the state chair manship.

JAPS' 1 HN. GUNS "ew Japanese Dreadnanght to Carry Huge Cannon. Mikado's Xayy Adds French Submarine and Cruiser. Tokio, Aug. 5. It is reported that guns of fifteen-inch calibre may be mounted on a superdreadnaught which has been ordered by the navy depart ment and will be laid down in the Japanese naval yard at Kure. This ship was authorized at the last session of the diet and she will be the largest battleship in the Japanese navy. She will be called the Nagato after one of the provinces in southern Japan. Although the official figures have not been announced, it is said the war ship will have a displacement of Sf.OOO tons and a speed of twenty-four knots. The displacement exceeds by 1.400 tons that of the dreadnaught Tama shiro which was launched at Toko suka last November. The Tamashiro is about the same size as the Ignited State. superdreadnaught Pennsyl vania. Bigger Than the Queen Elizabeth. If the announced figures prove ex act, the Nagato will be bigger than the celebrated Queen Elisabeth of the British navy, more speedy than the Tamashiro by two knots and faster than the Pennsylvania by three knots although she could be outdistanced by the Queen Elizabeth. A feature of the proposed ship will be improved equip ment for defense against torpedoes. The question of main armament seems not yet decided. It is under stood that the navy favors fifteen-inch guns, but guns of this size have never been made in Japan, and it is likely that they would have to be imported from England. It is doubtful if Eng land could turn them out during the war. Adds Cruisers, Too. The department has likewise ar ranged for the construction of two second class cruisers, each of 3,500 tons to be called Tenryu and Tatsuta. One will be laid down at Toksuka and the other at Saseho. A large type de stroyer of 1,100 tons will be built at Maizuru. The latest addition to the Japanese navy is a new and powerful submarine boat which was built in France and which recently arrived at the Kure naval station. Submerged, the boat can reach a spead of over eighteen knots. Her displacement Is 600 tons. and she is the largest submarine in the Japanese navy. The order, placed with the French navy yard in 1914, called for two boats of the same type and dimen sions, but one of them was sold to France at the outbreak of the war In compliance with the special request of the French navy. The submarine was brought here on board a French steamer. FLED TO MOUNTAINS Americans In Mexico Thought War Had Been Declared. Laredo, Texas, Aug. 5. Thirty-seven Americans of the Blalock colony, which left Chamal on June 18 and took to the mountains when informed that war had been declared between the United States and Mexico, arrived here tonight from Osorio in charge of Dr. M. C. Cameron and W. C. Frazier, two members of the colony. The colony at Chamal was at tacked by constitutionalist soldiers June 18 and informed that war had been declared against the United States. The Americans were robbed of everything they possessed, then herded together and told they were to be interned until the war was over. Later they were given their liberty by the Carranza soldiers and fled to the mountains near Chamal, where they remained until July 18, when they succeeded in penetrating moun tain fastnesses and getting across swollen rivers and reaching civiliza tion at Osorio. When the colonists took to the mountains they had a scant supply of food, but this proved sufficient to carry them through, though they suf fered great hardships from exposure in the mountains. Last week the Americans were lo cated by representatives of the United States state department, sent in search of hem, and brought to Osorio. where they were put on a train and sent to the border. They took the train two days ago, reaching here to night. In the Darty are six men live women and 26 chilten, the latter ranging in age from months to 18 years.

Entering the war as a volunteer surgeon, little known outside the circle of specialists of his own class. Dr. Robert Barany of Vi enna, after fifteen months of captivity in Russia, has at last returned as an "exchange invalid" to find himself famous as the Nobel prize winner in medicine. The knowledge which was the basis of his prize-winning book was gained chiefly as surgeon In Przemysl; the book Itself was written in captivity; it has brought him 400.000 crowns in money, and it played no small part in f How to iveep Cool 1 omorrow Take the Cars to GAGE PARK The Topeka Railway Co. securing his release from Turkestan. The dramatic circumstances sur rounding his achievement have been greatly heightened by the effect of his return to his family. Nominally, he waa permitted to leave Russia be cause he is slightly lame from an affection of one foot from which he has suffered since a child. Actually, his unexpected distinction, plus the efforts of Prince Karl of Sweden, went far to secure his exchange. Invents Head Wound Treatment. Despite his lameness. Dr. Barany volunteered for service- at the out break of the war and was installed as chief surgeon of the surgical de partment of a hospital at PrzemysL It was while there, as he so modestly explains, that he was "so fortunate as to discover a new method for the treatment of head wounds," a dis covery that enabled him to cure a vastly greater percentage of cases than before. For four weeks after the fall of Prsemysl the Russian commander allowed the Austrian physicians to remain. Then, in transports of about 100 they were sent to various parts of Russia, many to Siberia.- the sur geon and many others to Turkestan. Unlike many others. Dr. Barany on his return has reported almost uni versally good treatment in captivity, treatment that included a sufficiency of decent food, liberty not too restrict ed, and pleasant professional rela tions with Russian commanders and colleagues. Dr. Barany was given fairly ample opportunity to study, to practice and to lecture on his specialty to Russian and captive Austrian phy sicians. i Attention A. O. IT. W.

Hudson Super-Six Endures the Supreme Test Hl-ST nRDORD RY 62-. A Hudson Super-Six with stock chassis was driven 1819 miles In 24 hours on the Sheepshead Bay track on May 2nd. The average speed waa 75.3 miles per hour. That car. in a single round of the sun, went the distance from New Tor to Denver. It went 52 per cent, farther than any other stock car had ever gone In that time. One man drove it all the way. No man could do that in a car which was not vibrationless. That man went farther in 24 hours than a man ever traveled before. 50 MILES IX ONE. Some engineers figure that one mile at racing speed equals 50 miles of ordinary driving, in wear and strain on motor. This car had run 2,000 miles before that test, at average speed of (0 miles per hour. So this 24-hour run made 3,800 miles which the car had been run at top speed as high as 102 miles per hour. Tet no part or bearing, when the engine was inspected, showed any ap preciable wear.' THE THING TOTJ WANT What you want in a car above all else is reliability. And that's what these tests are proving. It would take ten years of road work, perhaps, to show what we proved in a few days of speed work. In all our tests we use a stock chassis. The motor is exactly the same as in every Hudson Super-Six. So every man who buys a Super-Six gets the same super-endurance. A PATENTED MOTOR The Super-Six motor is a Hudson invention, controlled by Hudson patents. The principle which gives its utter smoothness is entirely new. That is why it outperforms any other car that's built. It develops 76 horsepower from a small, light Six. That is 80 per cent. more than old typea Tou rarely use that power. In ordinary driving you run at half its capacity, so the motor is never strained. But the owner of a Super-Six knows that he has the power. He knows that his car is a master. He knows that in speed, in hill-climbing. In quick pick-up, no car can do what his does. He takes pride in those facta But his chief satisfaction lies in ths car's endurance. He knows that his car will last. That 'another car at half the price might cost more In the long run. Don't consider a fine car until you know the Super-Six. Tou would surely face years of regret. 7-Passenger Phaeton, $1475 at Detroit Sven Other Styles of Open and Closed Bodies. J. P.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVKJN1MG,' AUGUST 5, 1916 Up to the Minute SportingNews From Everywhere. SAVAGES WON THE LAST AND GOT AN EVEN BREAK ON "DUCK" SERIES Game Called June 11th on Account of Dark ness To Be Continued Tomorrow. Although Hall permitted the Ducklings more hits and more free passes, the Savages came out from under in the last game of the Lincoln series and proved up their claim to an even break on the four-day engagement, winning by the count of 3 to 2. It was a cleancut, quietly staged affair. There were few sen- 1 1oat hpnrt-hreakiner eDisodes. and for straight, un- adulterated, clock-like baseball desired. From the barrier to the finish the Engle men led 'v a nose, and the pcorlng was all over at the close of "the sixth inning. But the fan?, re membering the Alamo of Wednesday, stuck to their seats until the last out In the ninth and then heaved a sigh of relief. Th" victory should stock up the team with a fresh supply of confidence and should give the men a better chance to cope with the league load Ins Omahogs in the series that begins thi." afternoon. It also should shoot a litt'e much needed confidence into the fans, thereby causing a few more of them to bestir themselves and go out today and tomorrow. Twin Bill Tomorrow. Tomorrow a doubleheader will be played. The first game will begin at 2 o'clock and will be the regularly cama TVl f SPCnnH Wiil be a continuation of the one that was I called on account of. darkness on June 11 with the score tied 6 ana at the end of the thirteenth inning.

Then both sides got busy. With two down. Hunter was four bailed to first and Morse, who had already got ten two singles, drove a triple to right center field, scoring his manager pro tem. Rohrer 'doubled, scoring Morse, and when Gregory kissed a single to center the horizon looked gloomy and dark; but Carlisle chopped three strokes and was out. The Savages did not permit the Old Curl Tails to hold the lead very lorg. Devore. first up, was again hit with a pitched ball on the place where he wears his wrist watch and not where he carries his handkerchief, ho vever. Cochran grounded out and then "Pep-Nat"-Goodwin, the leading swatter of the afternoon, poled a double that scored Joshua. Engle grounded out and "Deutschland" Kruger planted a single in front of Thomason that brought Goodwin home for the win ning run. In the eighth the Savages got the teases loaded without a hit and with no outs, but Kruger hit a fly to Ty J.ober on which the latter got a dou ble play, throwing out Cochran at the plate by Inches and Agler flew to Thomason. ending the last chance. Double Play Feature. The Savages played errorless ball. Engle handled three hard chances, Kruger took care of four and Oood win had three put outs and six assists while DeFate had three and five. The double play that Lober made from right field was the feature of the game. His peg to the plate was per fect, and It was made from quite a ways out. Fast team work by Good win and DeFate cut off a possible run rn the seventh inning when the Duck lings almost squeezed a man to second base on two occasions. AMERICAN t.EAGlK. First Chicago game: K.

If you are young, strong, sound in wind and limb and disinclined to work, we ad vlsa you to become a ball player. It is a simple matter to become a suc cessful ball player. The recipe is as fol lows Imitate Ty Cobb. Some time ago there was a popular song entitled "I'm on My Way to Mexico." Now they jre singing: "Home, iiweet Home." A good many of our sojer boys are bc plniiing to susitect that n war, or even a near war, is not a week-end party. ANOTHER TYR'JS RAYMOND SAID TO BE IN MONTREAL Paul Smith of Montreal Is the Ty Cobb of the International league and will be hooked by a big league scout before long. He's batting .367 and has stolen 21 bases, lead ing the league in both departments. He should bring the Montreal own ers a pretty penny when they sell him at the season's close. HAVE SHONE EVER WORN A CROWN Sport Wheezes -BY CLt7& No Such Gay. He never knew what banger vu And he never took dram; He never pulled m single bone. He wm never called a "Ham.' He always played his cards Just right. He always led with trumps. He should have been a auperman. But he was av perfect "umps." Vhm Ella. Wichita has heard that they are riding the umpires in the big leagues. And Wich ita wants to be a big league town Just like every boy wants to be a man. That probably accounts for the trouble indicator men have in the Wolf vt He city and for the action of Eh right this week in ordering a pair of umpires to stay oat t his ball park. There have been some unsatisfactory de cisions here this season. But. on the whole, the Indicator manipulators of Mr. Zehrung are much better than those Tip O'Neill had on his pay roll last season. Knocking a ball in the air and then traveling fnster than It does. In the same direction. Is some stunt. If yon tried It you might say that It couldn't be done. nut joe Agier uiu it n riuay ana got mm self a hit. Bollver Tlck Kauffman has an unat tached muscle over his left short ribs. That was what was the matter with him In Thursday s game. He win have to get it anchored again before he can take the mound. Knnffmnn believes he can do some ef fective work for the Savages when he gets Into shape. He won three games tor Wichita In six days, but Jackson tried to use him every day and bis old sou per wouldn't stand the strain. In the second Inning Friday Kddle Mon roe swung at the first ball pitched to him. He hit it squarely on the nose and gave it a nice long ride, but it was right In Th-ira-a son's hands. Now Kddle has a supersti tion about bitting the first ball pitched to him. Since returning home the Savages have won seven and lost five games. Not such a bad record, considering the pitching talent thev have hart. If Lathrop and Dunn and Kauffman can win a few they ought to climb from now on. A glance at the records of the twelve games that have been played since the team came home will show that the Sav ages have out hit their opponents, even In face of the two slaughters this week.

DILLON IS NOT SUCH A DRAWING CARD NOW BY FRANK G. MEXKE. New Tork, Aug. 6. The promotion persons hereabouts are not talking so fluently concerning a Jack Dillon-Bam Langford bout as they did on the day before Battling Levinsky beat up the western "Giant Killer." The New Tork Hebrew seems to have silenced quite effectively the hurrah stuff that was loosed for Dillon after the latter pummeled one Francis Charles Moran. It was fig ured that Dillon was the best husky battler In the game next to Jess Wll lard, but Levinsky knocked askew the calculations. Oh, yep, the Dlllonltes declare that Levinsky's victory over Dillon in Baltimore "was nothing to get wor ried about." But the fact remains that Levinsky beat Dillon and did It so decisively that It ranks Levinsky a notch or two beyona tne tnaianapous warrior In the "league" sanding. Dillon. In meeting Levinsky, prob ably made the same error that Moran made when he met Dillon. Moran held Dillon so cheaply that he didn't really train and, secondly, during the early rounds of the battle, he didn't fight in a heady way. Dillon did not consider Levinsky dangerous. Hadn't they met seven or eight times before? And hadn't Dillon beaten Levinsky In the majority of those affairs? Of course! Dillon Palls "Boner." And so Dillon, without training like he did for Moran. took on Levinsky. He liked the money. The fight ap pealed to htm as nothing beyond a mild workout .and a sure triumph. But Dillon got the surprise of his ca reer. He was beaten all around the ring during those ten rounds and nev er once did It look as If he had a chance for victory. That mental fooxle cost Dillon a large flock of slmoleons. If he hadn't fought Levinsky. or If. In fighting him. he had won. Dillon's earning power would have been fy large, indeed. Undoubtedly, some one of the live promoters In New Tork would have put on a -DIUon-Langford scrap had Dillon been willing and the affair would have drawn big. Langford, the negro battler, is some what oooular hereabouts. He has put DOB WALLACE BACK IN BROWNS' INFIELD p 4 Bobby Wallace Bobby Wallace, ex-American ieairo nmpira and ex-St. Louis manager, has aiprned to play with the Browns through the rest of the season.

A DAY TO THEMSELVES Shawnee Golf Club Ladies Will Stage Special KvenU Thursdays. At a meeting of the Ladles' Auxil iiiry of the Shawnee- Golf club, .held at the club house on the ground def inite plans were made fof making every Thursday ladies' day on the Shawnee course, and beginning next Thursday with an elimination tour nament the ladies plan to have some thing -special every week, Both Mrs. E. D. McKeever and Mrs. W. L. Bates, denied that the ladies were appropriating a special day for their own play in retaliation to the ac tion taken by tne male members in barring women from the course Sat urday afternoons ana Sunday morn ings. "We think It perfectly all right for the men to have exclusive ubo of the course Saturday afternoons and Sun day mornings," Mrs. McKeever said. "We have more time- to play than the r.ien have and Inasmuch as theso are the only times, a great many men can play they should have use of the whole course. There is absolutely no fight between the men and women members cf the club." Following next Thursday's tourna ment, a flag and button tournament will be held later on, but definite ar rangements have not yet been made. The members of the auxiliary aro anx ious that every woman who is entitled to the use of the course be out for next Thursday's play as tne occasion will also be a get acquainted affair for all. Bobby Waugh W ins a Boat. Fort Worth, Tex., Aug. 5. Bobby Waugh, of Fort Worth, knocked out Andy Smith, of Oklahoma City, here in the sixth round of a scheduled fif teen round bout. The men are light weights. up some awful fights against gentle men of his own color during the past two years, but that was not because of lack of ability. Sam needs the money for "po'k chops." Had he knocked out the only men that he wu permit ted to fight under the old New York state laws, he never could have se cured more matches. So he permitted the boys to stick around. But now that mixed bouts are per mitted, and Sammy has the legal right to try conclusions with some of the white folks hereabouts, the chances are that he would put up a whirlwind scrap. Fighting against Dillon, he wouldn't take any chances, and Dillon, meeting the greatest l.lack man In the ring today, would have fought to his absolute limit. Oh, yes. Indeed, a Dillon-Langford bout, with Dillon still horlzoncd by his victory over Moran. would have been a mighty drawing card. But now Jack Isn't considered auch-u-much hereabouts. Didn't Levinsky beat him and do It easily? Why Not Langford-Levlnsky? Why not a Levinsky-Langford match.-then? Well, Levinsky is will ing and so Is Langford. Maybe the affair will take place during the fall or winter. But the promoters are somewhat dubious about the drawing power of such a match. Levinsky. de spite of the fact that he beat iJillon. Isn't the same sort of turnstile mag net that Dillon would have been. Furthermore. Dillon and Levinsky are entirely different in fight styles. Dillon's Is the style that pleases the fans. He Is a boring fighter; one who likes to slug toe to toe: a man with a knockout wallop. Levinsky. on the other hand, is not a "klll-'em-dead" kid. He wins most of his fights by darting In and outr depends more upon Jabbing than in swinging. And the folks do like the slugging boys. -The promoters fear -that a match between Levinsky and Langford mere ly would be a sort of footrace, with Levinsky doing the bulk of it. Not that Bat would run away from "Thammy." but It's something of a cinch that he wouldn't run Into him as Dillon would do. It's too bad Dillon took a' chance and met Levinsky at a time when he had nothing to gain by victory and an awful 1. 1 to lose by defeat! IN LAP JF GODS Time When British Golfers Will Visit U. S. Uncertain. Taylor Writes Topekan Ger mans Must Be Licked First. The first definite announcement that American golf enthusiasts are to be denied the pleasure of entertaining; the "big four" of England, Vardon, Taylor, Ray and Braid, until after the war has been received by Robert Ful lerton of Topeka. a former associate of Taylor In London. The possibility of an American tour bv the famous foreign golfers has been discussed for the last six or eight months and the interest that has been aroused by the possibility of such an event has assured a big success for the tour. But patriotism Is placed before personal desires by the Britishers and they have absolutely refused to con sider crossing the Atlantic at the pres ent time. Taylor's Letter. Taylor's letter to Fullerton is self explanatory and is given in full, as follows: "Dear Bob:' In reply to yours of the lath, there was a talk In the early part of thhe year. In fact, it was pro posed that Braid. Varden, Ray and I should visit America, but after consid eration we decided that these times were not quite the time we Should ex hibit ourselves. We may come after the war,' but that is in the lap of the gods. At present, not one is think ing of making the trip. "Hooe business is brisk with you. Things are dreadfully slow in the golf line-over here We have to HcK tne Oermans before things are better. Kindest regards from George Cann and myself. Sincerely yours. 1 "J. H. TAYLOR." Old Friends. Fullerton and Taylor were very In timate friends before the former catne to .the United States, and were asso ciated together in a goir way ror sev eral years at the Royal Wimblcton club of London. Fullerton says that Taylor, five- times open champion of the world, twice French champion and once German champion, is as great a golfer as has ever come into prominence. He says that it Is Im possible, to mention Vardon without mentioning Taylor In the same breath. "American golf would derive a priceless benefit from a tour of these men," the Topeka sporting goods deal er said in discussing the proposed and how abandoned trip. "Aside from the interest they would create among tlie rank and file of golfers and the pub licity they would give the game Amer ica's foremost players would be greatly benefited by having a chance to study their style of play." Had a tour been made, every effort would have been put forth to brin the Britishers to Topeka for an ex hibition. BASEBALL TODAY. Western League. Sioux City at Denver, clear, S:1S p. m.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 5, 1916 -1 t I V v v, 51 LOBDELL'S JOB ONE OF THE BEST GIVENKANSANS Carries Salary of $10,000 and Much Recognition. It Is Next In Importance to a Cabinet Position. HAS BACKING QF ALL KANSAS No Appointment Has Met With More General Fayor. Great Bend Banker Well Known Throughout Kansas. Charles E. Lobdell of Great Bend, who recently won a place on the im portant federal farm loan board, 1b a native Kansan. His appointment is one of the most Important federal jobs ever (riven a Kansan and came as a recogmltion of a most spectacular pub lic career and business success. The Charles E. Ijobdell of Great Bend, former district judge and prominent banker, recently appointed member of the new federal loans board. new job, which carri&a with it an an nual salary of $10,000 and expenses, is perhaps next in importance to a cabinet position. When the name of Lobdell was re cently recommended for appointment to a position on the big loan board, scores of friends of the Great Bend tunker suddenly took an active Inter est in affairs at Washington. Every politician, lawyer and banker in Kan sas knew Lobdell and the suggestion of his appointment for a place on the big board met with general favor in the state. Lobdell's record as a suc cessful banker and jurist equipped him for the position and it is doubtful if an appointment in this state in recent years has met with more general fa vor. The Great Bend banker was born In Kansas and chose to make his ca reer in this state. He first saw the light in Butler county and for several years practiced law in El Dorado. Ho Went West. Then Lobdell decided to go into the new western Kansas country. He se lected Dlghton as the town in which he would practice law. That was in tile early 80's. Almost immediately Lobdell began to take an active in terest in political affairs in Lane county and the big Seventh district that in those days comprised most of the southwest country. It was in the old days of the convention system and Lobdell was r ctive in many of the dis trict and state conventions that fol lowed his removal to Lane county. Shortly after he removed to Lane county, Lobdell was elected to the state legislature. He served on the judiciary committee, made a greit record and was recognized as one of tho leaders of the house from the western country. His ability gained recognition among members of the lower branch of the legislature and ho was later elected as speaker of the house. During a half dozen ses sions Of the legislature, Lobdell served as a member from Lane county. All the time his law business grew and he was a man to bo reckoned with in his country. Enters Newspaper Field. Late in the 90's the newspaper bug "stung" Lobdell. He went to Kansas City where he engaged in a newspaper project for several years. In 100 he sold his1 paper and came to Topeka, where he directed the speaker's bu reau for the Republican state com mittee. That was Morton Albaueh's second term as chairman of the state committee and Lobdell aided Aibaugh in putting Kansas back on the Repub lican .map after days of sorrow for Kansas Republicans. It was following the 1900 campaign that the state legislature decided to shake up the judicial districts. One of the things which the lawmakers did was to put a crimp in the judicial districts in Lobdell's former communi ty. A new district was created and Governor Stanley named Lobdell as judge of the district. Lobdell's rec ord on the bench won state wide at tention. Time after time he was re elected, until in 1912 he retired to private life on his own motion. While JudKe of the western district that includ.-d Pawnee, Edwards. Hodgman and a number of other counties. Judge Lobdell lived in Lamed. There he became interested In the banking game. He bought stock in a bank in Leoti. He bought stock In .another bank In TrlDUne. Then he added other stocks and Anally gained a hold on a block of stock in the Lamed State bank. He was elect ed to the presidency of the institu tion and devoted considerable time to the banking game. Moves to Great Bend. Following the death of the late Geri- eral Chapman, however, Liobdell was urged to accept the presidency of the First National bank or Ureat Bend. Lobdell moved to Great Bend and has since directed the affairs of the Bar ton county bank, although he has re tained an interest in a number, of Kansas siate and national banks. Just as he won recognition as a lawyer and jurist, Lobdell suddenly gained a state wide standing in bank ing circles. He became known as one of the most safe and conservative bankers in the western Kansas dis trict and his banks grew and Bros- oered under his direction. Because he made the banks grow, Lobdell was recognized by the big bankers cf the state. He was elected to the presi dency of the Kansas Bankers' asso ciation after having held various of fices and appointments in the state organization and is today one of the most widely known bankers m the state. Now Lobdell -is to try another game, He is to have a hand in shaping the policies of the newly created federal farm loan board. Aside from a cabi net position, the appointment is one of the most important inu couia come to Kansas. The appointment of Lob dell was a recognition of a record, that has made him a power in tne banking, legal and political circles of the state. Furnace repairs at Forbes. Adv.

Left Office for Lunch and Didn't Return, Says Swayze. DECLARE WAB AT COURT HOUSE Old Fight Opened Up in Letter Sent by Present Clerk. Bitterness of Campaign Indicat ed In Written Threat. The intense 111 feeling between Oscar Swayze, the county clerk, and Kenneth Raub, his clerk, who' was the success ful candidate for the Republican nom ination for county clerk, was kept fairly well under cover until after the election. Lots of voters knew about It and it was well known around the courthouse, but Swayze and Raub continued to work In the same office until last Friday noon. That was pay day. Raub left for lunch at noon with his pay check, according to Swayze, and did not re turn. He took his keys to the office with him and Swayze says he also had two and a half days' pay to which he was not entitled. Early yesterday Swayze wrote Raub a letter demanding that he return the keys and the two and one-half days' pay forthwith. The alternative pro posed by Swayze was that he would post the letter to Raub on the court house door and start Immediate ac tion. The keys and money were returned and placed with the county treasurer late yesterday afternoon. Swayze's Letter. Below is Swayze's letter to Raub. which- besides referring to the keys and pay, tells some of the history of anawnee county politics tor the last two -years: Kenneth Kaab, Topeka, Kansas. "Sir:' I have wafted tiattpntlv fnr nnmp Word from TOD as to vhv von wpn nnt on duty since last Friday noou.

The county board of canvaesors is still wading through the votes cast at Tuesday's election. At noon there were Btill ten precinct returns to canvass. That will just about constitute a full half day's work. After the vote has been canvassed it will he necessary to foot the column over which the name of each candidate appears. Despite the condition of some of the tally, sheets there has been little change in figures to date. In one pre cinct the board added five votes to Hugh Larimer, successful candidate for sheriff, and today the board took five away from him in another pre cinct. He has broken even to date. He and J. E. Wilson, second man in the sheriff's fight, have either been present or had representatives pres ent, during all the counting. Another batch of badly blotted tally sheets was opened Op today but the majority are legible. DELAY MEXICO REPLY Answer to Carranza's Note Will Wait Until Wilson Returns. Washington. Aug. H. The reply to General Carransa'e note regarding the proposed joint commission to settle border difficulties will' not be formu lated until President Wilson returns Monday from his week-end cruise down the Potomac. State department officials said today there would be no announcement as to the positions of the United States until that time. It was indicated that while nnt en tirely satisfactory. General Carranza's note is viewed as opening the way for broadening the scope of discussions by the commission, as is desired by the president, and information has reached department officials that the note was intended to cover that pos sibility, although it does not mention the suggestion except by inference. Whether that will be regarded as sufficient to warrant proceedings with the negotiations by naming the Amer ican commissioners and without fur ther correspondence will be deter mined by President Wilson. SEN. FALL RETALIATES Mexican Issue Involves "Duty of Gor- eminent to Its Citizens." Washington, Aug. 6. Senator Fall of New Mexico, referring to Lewis as more like a court jester than a senator and his address more worthy of a political stump than the halls of con gress, assailed president Wilson s Mex ican policy in a sharp reply. The issue of the coming campaign. Senator Fall said, would be the duty of a government to its citizens. "Thousands of American fugitives from Mexico with wives and children outraged or killed will confront the Democratic party with their failure to protect their own people, said he, "Ton will later change your opinion that there is no issue involved in this Mexican question.' THIS WOMAN HAD BUGS, BUT SHE: T 7 COULDN'T MAKE HER MEANING CLEAR Conneftsvllle, Pa., Aug. 5. (Spec ial.) A local editor, who modestly withholds his name, has resigned his post at Delphic oracle and general informant after giving excellent ser vice in these capacities for many years. He had achieved among the villagers and natives hereabout the regard and esteem due one who sits upon the proud summit at human knowledge. He knew everything. That is, he did until a few days ago, when occurred the regrettable incident about to be related. It should -toe known before going further that very often in the course of one afternoon this good man would reply correctly to a volley of questions of so diverse and intricate a nature as to dismay many scholars and men of learning whose names now adorn the unfading pages of antiquity. Lord Ba con, for example, is still thought to have been a wise little guy. It's likely that Francis would have hemmed and hawed if obliged to settle bets as did the modest local editor. He told in one afternoon the bat ting average of Scrappy Bill Joyce the last year he played with the old Senators, the population of Oswego, the name of an African cannibal tribe that never sneezes, why Arctic birds like to keep their eggs on ice, how to resuscitate heat victims by vibration, and gave a concise but brief account of early Victorian poetry and its in fluence.

TRIED TO BLOCK IT Henry McAfee Against Central Committee Meeting. "We Don't Know Result of Vote Yet," He Explained. Although the county board of can vassers has not completed the canvass of the vote cast in Shawnee county last Tuesday, a meeting of the county cen tral Republican committee was called for this afternoon by John Chaney, chairman. Henry McAfee and other Successful candidates are trying to block the meeting, and, failing in that, to block-i the organization of the new commit tee. "We don't even knew who has been elected committeemen in all' the pre cincts," said Mr. McAfee this after noon. "I want every candidate to -attend to block proceedings." The plan, according to candidates. is to have the committee organize and declare for Charles Sessions for chair man of the Republican state central committee and for John Chaney for vice chairman. Chaney is a candidate for re-election as county chairman. xne meeting was scheduled for late this afternoon at the O. A. R. hall. TELLS SAD STORY Girls Says Man Started Life with Her Without a license. Amanda Roberts, who gives her age as 20. although every one who saw her, except Rad M. Lee, says she is several years older, is the complaining witness against Claud O. Buck, charged with a statutory crime against her. A warrant has been issued for Buck, and the woman believes he is in Wichita. Amanda Roberts told a story suffi ciently pathetic to "get" Itad Lee. She stated that she came to Topeka with Buck under the promise of mar riage, and that they went to live with Mrs. F. M. Harris at 31 Railroad street. After reaching here, she said. Buck couldn't seem to remember to stop at the courthouse for the license and that the matter drifted along week after week. Finally, she said. Buck took her and his crippled boy to Kan sas City, found them a room in a hotel. then disappeared. ARRANGES HUGE LOAN TO RUSSIA Samuel McBoberta. Samuel McBoberta, senior vie president of the National City Bank of New York, is the man who has just arranged a loan of $60,000,000 to the Russian government. Me Roberta spent two months in Russia and predicts a prosperous future for that country 3 U J n-eA H WAT HAVE The modest editor didn't go in much for bugs. He leaned over and sneered into the telephone: "What have they got?" "I means how do you get rid of them?" This seemed to be a deliberate af front. "I don't have to get rid of them. Try a little table salt or write to ycur congressman about it." The modest editor hereafter will re ply only to the questions of consider ate and inoffensive friends. EDITORS FOR A DUEL Open Challenge Results In Warrants for Arrest of Both. Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 5. War rants for the arrest of Victor H. Han son, publisher of The Birmingham News, and E. W. Barrett, editor of The Birmingham Age-Herald, were sworn out before the city recorder to day, by Arlie Barber, commissioner of public safety, who alleged he had rea son to believe that the two men in tended to fight a duel.

Supporters From Five Counties Here Sexf TTeek.; ANTHONY MILITARY ROAD Effort to Fnsh Plan for Exten sive Improvements. Fort Leavenworth to Fort Riley by Way of Topeka. The Anthony military road from Fort Biley. via Topeka, took a step closer to reality this noon when at a meeting of the good roads committee at the Topeka Commercial club, it was decided to call a meeting of the Kaw Valley Improved JHisThway asso ciation in Topeka Friday.

BLUEBERRY EDDYTORIUL Missus Jerushy Perkins who we consider one of the most respeck ted estymable also kindest heart ed ladies of Bingville visited the Bugle offis tother day when we was down st trying to scrape up some news and when we returned to the offis Jerushy had went, but she left behint her a large juicy suckulent blueberry pie on our desk whitch was jest fresh outen the oven and lukewarm yet as we might say. Every onct in a while Jerushy calls at our offis and brings us a pie pr hunk of cake or somethink like that to cheer the in ner man. Come agin, Jerushy, you are alius welcome. Well, when we got back to the offis seen that blueberry pie our eddytoriul mouth begin to worter so we set down perceeded to de vour same with great gusto con sooming the hole entire pie at one setting. This is the 1st blueberry pie we have had this season so fur and as we set there with our fase buried in that delishus pie and the sweet juice running down our sleeves as far as the elbows it oclcurd to us that blueberries is ripe in the vicinitty of Bingville adjasent mountaings and why wouldn't it be a good idee to dash off a eddytoriul entitled "Blue berries as a Edibul," so here goes Wes Woodruff, our expert hunt er trapper who was up on Saw ridge Mountaing tother day to pick up a cupple of bear traps whitch he had set last fall and aint had time to go after and lug home reports that blueberries up on the moun taing is thickern the sands of the sea, so to speek. Wes said if he had of tuk a pail with him he could of fild it in a few minnits. If Bingville folks had enny gumpshion sprawl about em they would take advantage of this big crop of blueberries whitch is so plentiful this season. We repeat if our cittizens had enny git up and go to em they would harvest these blueberries by the qt, pk gal as long as they last being as they wont last moren a month and put same up in cans for fuchure ref erence during the winter to come. What is niser to open up during the winter when fruit is skeerce than a can of blueberries. Then there is a nother consid- erashion. After you have cand all the blueberries you can there is a awful good market for what you cant can. Last yr Lem Perkins with chararackteristick enterprise pickd blueberries day after day I u"i"'6 "6U i t I J J CO seal wncrc nc pcuuciu cm uui at the rate of 10 cts per qt and sold evry qt he could pick. Lem said he could of sold twict as menny if he had of had em to sell. Lem calkilates that he must of made 20 or thirty dollers clean profit on his blueberries. Well, what Lem Perkins done last yr you can do this yr unless vou perfer to set around in the shade and let the blueberries come go and drop offen the bushes and rot on the ground as you alius have did in the past. Here is a golden opportunity to get rich quick within a munth and yet how menny of our enterprising citti zens will take advantage of it? Anser none probly. It fills us with deep disgust to see a passel of lazy loafers let a chanst like this git past em and yet we feel that we have did our part in calling your attenshion to this matter.

Well, I need some money, being as I am almost strapped, and so I have desided to dispose of this 10 akers of land at a ridicklus low price to whoever desires same. I will take $20 per aker for this land jest as it stands, inclooding the fence around it and good will and everything' else, inclooding the swamp, the water thereon et cet tery too numerous to mentshion. You may say when you read this that this swamp aint good for nothink, but lissen I know it aint good for cultivashion, but some day in the far distant fuchure when Bingville grows expands and be comes a metroperlis this swamp land will make vallyble town lots, perviding it is drained off and filled up. If I would only wai' this swamp land would b worth thousands of dollers tc me, but I aint got time to wait, so I have desided to dispose of this land at onct and let somebuddy else make a forchune outen it. Here is a golden opportoon itty that may never come to you agin. Take advantage of it at once and you will never regret it neith er will I. Who wants this whole mess of town lots for a song? First come, first served. Buy this land offen me before some other smart feller gobbles it up. Yours for reel estate, SIMON WHITTLEBY Bingville- mm Hi 71
