The 15,000 guardsmen returned from the border by the recent order of the war de partment were today ordered muster ed out of the federal service. The guardsmen remaining on the border stay there for the present. The demobilization is understood to be a preliminary to the withdrawal of the punitive expedition from Mexi co which will take the guardsmen places protecting the border line and is regarded as a consequence of the assembling of the international com mission to settle the border troubles. The war department official an nouncement was made in the follow ing statement: JT. Y. Regiment Has Typhoid. "The secretary of war directs that all the organizations of the national guard in the federal service recently ordered from the border to their re spective mobilization camps be mus tered out of the federal service as soon as practicable and returned to the normal status of national guard troops except in the case of the Fourteenth New York regiment which is to be held in service at its mobilization camp pending the prevalence in that regi ment of para typhoid. "As soon as it can be safely done this regiment also will be mustered out. Similar precaution should be taken with any other organization re turning from the border suffering from any infection or which is under suspicion of being infected." Includes 14 Regiments. The troops affected are three regi ments from New York, two from New Jereejr J.pn,fr9m MaryJand,.two. from!

These units comprise in the asrerre- gate about 15.000 national guardsmen. ine plan for the mustering out of the regiments will be executed under the various departmental commanders with whose jurisdiction these organizations are placed. In many in stances, where there is no reason to hold them because of disease infection, the mustering out will be done imme diately. It is expected that all the organization except the Fourteenth New York will be mastered out as soon as the necessary routine is con cluded. The Yale battery mobilized at Tobyhanna, Pa., was ordered to Niantic, Conn., where it will be mus tered out. Order Affects 1,900 Missourians. Nevada, Sept. 7.

WIVES T0 BLAME In Ohio Diyorce Imp Scores One to Cupid's Three. Ten Years Ago, a Dirorce for Every Twelve Marriages. Columbus. O., Sept. 7. For every three marriages In Ohio last year, at least one divorce suit was started. For every six marriages, one divorce was granted by Ohio courts and one marriage annulled. These figures will be cited in the forthcoming report of Secretary of State Charles Q. Hildebrant, soon to be filed with Governor Willis, it was learned here today. Ten years ago Ohio had only one divorce to every twelve marriages. An nual reports of the former secretaries show plainly the divorce evil is gain ing ground in Ohio married lite. Hildebranfs report shows it Is the wife and not the husband, as generally It is supposed, who tires soonest of the marriage bond. Many Unfaithful Wives. For example: Exactly 299 divorces were granted husbands last year on the ground that their wives had been unfaithful. Only 196 wives were granted divorces from husbands charged with forgetting their mar riage vows. However. It is the husband who shirks married responsibility first, ac cording to the report. Exactly 3,014 divroces were granted wives last year for "absence and neglect," as against 1,354 granted husbands for the same reason. Hildebranfs report shows that June still holds good as the month of mar riages and that January is the month that Cupid languishes. Of the 48,260 marriages reported for the year, 5,820 were solemnized in I June, while January's record was onlv (2,873. TRIED YOU ON THIS JOB By BRINK ERHOFF.

Paris, Sept. 7. Combles and Chaul- nes, two main supports of the present German lines on the Somme, are be ing pocketed and threatened with early capture by the steady advance of the allies. The thrust that car ried the French lines thru the greater part of the village of Berny-en-San-terre and into the outskirts of Chaulnes yesterday afternoon was made in the face of most desperate German resistance. The Germans de fended their positions with great stubbornness and time and again counter-attacked. The French advance brought Gen eral Foch's line still closer to the Chaulnes-Peronne railway. The British push that resulted in the capture of Leuze Wood, a mile from Combles, was a surprise attack made while the Germans were heav ily engaged with the French in the outskirts of Combles.

According to the an nouncement which came from Mr. Lucking's office the word "anarchist" was used in the head line of the edi torial. The editorial itself, censured Mr. Ford's ideas and methods. It was learned that Ford has had the suit under contemplation for several weeks. The papers were not completed before Mr. Lucking left Detroit last night.

TI7EATHER FORECAST for Kansas: Partly cloudy and cooler tonleht and Friday. TWO CENTS PLENTY OF GAS IN TOPEKA THIS WINTER-LANDOW Kansas Natural Receiver Tells Plans to Rotary Club. Sew Fields Are To Be Tapped Extensions in. SLAP AT UTILITIES COMMISSION Refusal of 30-Cent Gas Last Tear Cause of '16 Rate. Receiver's First Public Discus sion of Troubles. HAYS POINTS OUT THE PATH Says State Has Been Inconsis tent in Rulings. Demands Better Service and Then Ties Firm's Hands. Victor Hays, president of the Kan sas Natural Gas company, today told Rotarians the "chapter of misfor tunes' of his company since it first began supplying gas to Kansas. Ho charged the state with inconsistencies in demanding better service and then in tying the hands of the gas com pany, making better service impos sible. Mr. Hays peaded for the applica tion of common sense in deciding whether the gas increase Is proper, or not. When the Kansas Natural first began supplying gas the gas came from a field not mere than 100 miles away. Now the company is buying its gas from another company at an in creased price while the gas is piped three times as far ns it was originally. Yet despite the millions of dollars spent in extending mains to get the gas, the price of gas has not material ly increased. The gas man also spoke of the ques- tion of attorney's fees. That was a matter settled by the courts, he stat ed. Yet the company paid $20,000 fees to a Philadelphia attorney for a three hours' consultation, as much as has been paid in Kansas for an attor ney's services for an entire year. Not a Cent In Revenue. "The gas business is peculiar in one respect," said Mr. Hays. "In every other business increase of equipment means an increase of the volume of business. Yet, in the gas business this is not true. We have spent millions in new equipment and yet haven't de rived a cent more in revenue." Mr. Hays spoke of being obliged to purchase gas in Oklahoma from an other gas company at 6 and 7H cents against 2 and 2 hi cents a few yemrs ago. He told of the increase in the price of equipment which he estimated at 79.6 per cent. Inconsistency of State. In pointing to the alleged incon sistency of the state, Mr. Hays told of the company s anticipation or need ing new gas territory in the years to come aiiu ui ils uliiuii hi iraoing ici- ritory for the purpose of opening' fields. "About that time the state brought a suit against us charging us with being a trust," said Mr. Hays. "That threw us in a receiver's hands and our attempts to safeguard ourselves against a gas shortage ended." Landon's Speech. John M. Landon. receivr for th Kansas Natural Gas company, today told of hardships, hopes and ambi tions and made promisea concerning: the gas supply in a speech today as guest of the Rotary club t its first luncheon of the 1016-17 season.

In his speech today Landon referred to Scipio, the town that once won daily mention in the winter press dis patches. Scipio was a pumping sta tion, where the compressors were used to send the gas to Topeka, Lawrence, Kansas City and other towns. When trouble happened at Scipio, down went the pressure. Then the gas company abandoned the Scipio station. That in one of the causes of the present low pressure, Landon said. That wasn't the only trouble Lan don mentioned. He told the Rotar ians that denials of a 30 -cent rate ap plication a year ago, is the cause of higher rate now. Why? Betterment that would cost a million dollars are costing two millions now.

PERFECT AS A PIANO TOPEKA FACTORY smascu sums Kimball PI lems from the European war and Mex ican bandits, and having had placed before it one of the most elaborate leg islative programs ever known, the Sixty-fourth congress, now in its last hours, probably will go down in his tory as one of the nation's most event ful sessions. Called on twice to back the pres ident in steps which it thought surely meant war with Germany, and actually appropriating millions for the Mex ican punitive expedition, it neverthe less found time for half a dozen do mestic measures of major importance and to approve the heaviest appro priations in American history. "Preparedness" led in attention thruout. The largest naval appropria tion the world has ever known in peace-time, and the next-but-one largest army budget, were approved. Back of every economic measure child labor, rural credits. U. S. mer chant marin. workmen's compensa tion, was the cry of "industrial pre paredness." Tho the Democratic party never lost its hold on legislation, and tho Pres ident Wilson at all times was the ad mitted pilot, not a single measure passed both houses on strict party lines. Warning Americans. The most sensational episode of the session was the fight over the Gore and McLemore resolutions, warning Americans off armed merchant ships after Germany had given notice it in tended torpedoing them. Avowedly slaps at the president's foreign policy, they brought the chief executive and congress into sharp conflict. UNIONS BEATEN (Contlnopfl from Page One.) refused to arbitrate the differences with the employes. The men struck because of the refusal of General Manager Hedley to abrogate individual "master and servant" contracts made with hundreds of employes after the recent troubles when a strike was nar rowly averted. Intervention I'seless. Mayor Mitchel is expected to reach town tonight but both union leaders and company officials declare inter vention bv the mayor will be useless. Both sides seemed determined to fight It out to a finish. The strike leaders claimed early to- iay That 60 p-r cent of the subway and ievated employes had quit. They asserted that by tonight tho power houses of both systems will be closed d.-wn'and that the tie-up will then be complete Boss Strikebreaker "to Front." Chicago, Sept. 7. James T. Wad dell, who holds the distinction of be ing the boss strikebreaker of the world, is due to arrive in New York some time this afternoon to take charge of the strike on the elevated and subway lines there. He left here shortly after midnight, a lone passen ger on a special train on the New York Central, consisting of an engine, a baggage car, six empty Pullmans and a private car. His ride will cost .$3,000. Railroad officials planned to break all speed records to have Wad dell in Xew York for a conference with traction magnates today. Waddell, who has haa charge of similar work in various big strikes in the past, said he had nearly 6,000 strikebreakers already in New York.

Washington, Sept. 6. Representa tive Gardner, Massachusetts, ne nounced today the action of the sen ate In adopting retaliatory leeislation against the British blacklist. In a speech on the house floor he declared such measures are a "blow in support of Germany's ukase." "You hypo crites," he exclaimed at the Demo cratic side. "You claim you are de voted to humanity and despise com mercialism. Then why don't you pass an amendment refusing our harbors to Germany's interned ships until she repudiates the Lusitania crime."

Erotic insanity in its strangest form drove X Maurice Pettit of Chi cago to end his honeymoon by the murder of his bride. He believed that the only hallowed love was that of the Platonic type, and the really refined spiritual emotion forever divorced from the fleshly desires of the normal human. And so he killed her to "save her soul." AN ELECTION FLOURISH British Detect This in Retaliatory Measure But See Danger in It. London, Sept. 7. Commenting on the amendment to the revenue bill passed by the United States senate Tuesday night, empowering the pres ident to retaliate against interference with American commerce, the Man chester Guardian says that altho those who see in it no more than a flourish having a special virtue on the eve of election may be right, "nevertheless we should do well to note two things: "First These reprisals are directed against the allies and primarily against ourselves. 'Second They are popular in America." The Guardian says it is not generi ally realized here how strong a senti ment has been aroused thruout the United States by the blacklist policy and interference with mails and asks, "if the foreign office is convinced these practices of ours are so useful as to counter balance the weakening of American sympathy they involve or if they cannot be modified so as to meet American objections without ser iously impairing any utilities they may have for ourselves."

PLENTY OF GAS Con till tied from Page One.) ance of-gas. --But- it-costs money -to get in: Now, Landon declares, the gas company is able to enter the new fields and provide .the. needed supply. It was Landon's first public discussion of the details of the gas trouble. -Landon's Speech. In his speech Landon said Mr. President,. Fellow Ratarlans and Citizens of Topeka: I. have .been in vited by the president of the rotary club to talk to you about gas. You are concerned about the supply you are going to have this winter. You want to knoW about it, you have a right to know,- and I am glad to. tell you about it. -Supply I limited. The supply of gas this winter is lim ited to the physical property of the gas company, -This -property consists of about 625 miles of sixteen inch and eighteen Inch line, reaching from St. Joseph, Mo., to a point near Tulsa, Okla.,.-and gas engines or compressors aggregating about 30,008 horse power, and the amount of gas to be furnished consumers depends upon the amount of gas that can be forced or pushed thru the pipe lines by the compressors. The pipes will not carry, and the en gines will not force, gas beyond the limit or strength they are made to carry. You may have fifteen pounds pressure at uopeKa. n me u'"0' side of the Hogshooter station, in Ok lahoma, -we may have 300 pounds. More than S00 pounds is dangerous to life and property, and if we had all the gas in Oklahoma, we would not dare to go beyond that 300- pounds pressure. Consequently, your pressure of fifteen pounds at Topeka could not be increased, and no gas company and no individual could deliver gas to you at more than fifteen pounds pressure, because the physical strength of the property would not permit more Jinan 300 pounds at Hogshooter. At one time there was a compressor station located at Scipio, Kan., about twenty miles south of Ottawa- There was also an extra line north of Pe trolia station. This Scipio station and this line were taken up and removed to Oklahoma before the state receiver ship or the federal "felJe,nlp- Tn? was done by orders of the lret.rs the company. If this station had not mfira eras could be de livered. The physical property of the Kansas Natural Gas company mu r be added to, for you to get an adequate supply of gas in extreme weather. MllUOllS lor oarc. As to the supply of gas: I have drilled wells, made contracts and have secured all the available and acces sible gas within a reasonable distance of the lines of the Kansas Natural Gas company. At no time has the receiver refused to buy gas or build lines where he was Justified in mak ing the expenditure. There are at this time millions of feet of gas in Okla homa; more gas today than ever be fore in the history of its development, but it is 50. 60, 75 or 100 miles away from our lines.' There are millions of feet of gas for sale. To get it. it is only necessary to buy pipe, dig ditches and lay the lines, for the owners are anxious and ready to sell. It is mostly owned bv oil operators, who are m the oil business and are ready and anxious to sell the gas. Anyone who has money can buy pipe; any man with money can buy compressors; any man whn can buv the pipe and com- ressors can buy the gas. Now you may want to know, with all this gas. these millions oi ieei oi gas be reached by laying long lines, why it is that it has not been done; why the gas company has not built lines, bought more compressors, and planned and prepared to give you tho gas you could burn in zero weather the same as in mild weather. You may ask what has been done with all the monev that has passed thru the hands of the receiver. Several millions of dollars have passed thru my hands, but there were creditors and obliga tions that had to be taken care of. The creditors said: "That js cur money; we want it, and it Is ours and we have a right to be paid." The court, under the law, was compelled to take the same view of it, and or dered the debts paid, but only after Vio hid compelled the creditors to surrender all stocks and bonds not rep resenting actual Investment, mere is a business man in tnis nouse wno in his business career has owed thou sands of dollars, and the money was due his creditors, and his creditors knew he had the money, could he get away without paying his debts? It is easy to accumulate money if you don't pay your bill3 and obligations, but you all know they have got to be met; they have got to be paid; and we have been paying off the debts. At this time, the stockholders of the company are reorganizing. New monev and new blood are coming into the company. They are going to pay all the debts. There will be no cred itors hereafter, and they will have two millions of dollars to put into me business. Cost of Gas. Now something about the cost of gas. You have got to pay more ior gas because it costs more money to iret it. This is true of everything that goes into a gas well or goes Into a line. Gas wells drilled in Kansas, in Wilson, Neosho, Allen, Montgomery and Labette counties, where the lines were first laid, and from which the supply was taken for a number of years, cost from $1,500 to $1,600. To day that gas is nearly all gone. What is left is the seepage, a small amount of gas that filters through the sand and comes into the wells each day. The rock pressure on these wells averages1 less than twenty pounds. This gas has to be taken, compressed and raised to a pressure of at least 250 pounds before it reachea you. The great volume of gas you re ceive comes from a point near Tulsa, Okla., almost 100 miles south of the wells from which the first supply was taken, and some of it comes from Ciishlng, seventy miles still farther away, and these Oklahoma wells cost more money than the Kansas wells, for the reason that they are deeper, take more material, and the contractor has to have more money for drilling the wells. We have to pay more money for the gas and you have to paf more. Offer Last Year. A year ago, we offered to make ex tensions and get the Fas and sell It to you for 30 cents. This right was de nied us. Today, to make the same ex tensions, it will require $2,000,000, where last year it would have taken $1,000,000. Pipe that cost us 95 cents a foot last year will cost us $2 this year. Labor that cost us $1.75 a day last year costs us 92.50 a day this vear. Everything we do costs more money, and we have got to have more money for the gas. The federal court ordered us to spend $500,000 and make extensions to get more gas. We dictn't have the money. We had to give oond that we would spend the money, and all the influence that unfriendly interests could bring to bear upon the surety companies was brought, to prevent them from giving the bond. The stockholders said "go ahead; spend the money; we will furnish It," and that Is the reason we are going to fill the lines with gas this winter. We or dered the pipe last June, but the mills could not start making it until Sep tember, and now they are shipping us a mile of pipe a dav. This will be laid, and your gas supply will be in creased. We are laying this line to new wells that were not available last year. Jfo One Can Tell. At this time, there are many test wells being drilled in the state of Kan sas. I have leased and have contract ed for the gas on 100,000 acres. Wells are now being drilled, and this prop erty will be tested. Every well drill ing may be a gas well or an oil well. Every well drilling may be a dry hole. No one can tell. No one will know until the wells are completed. It makes no difference on what property the wells are drilling. If gas is found it will be to your benefit, for the own ers will market this gas. either thru the lines of the Kansas Natural Gas company or thru lines that they will build themselves. Within sixty days a majority of the test wells drilling in Kansas will be completed. I sincerely believe that many of them will prove good and open up a gas field. But the business is a temporary business. It is an uncertain, and a hazardous business. The old wells and old fields are sure to become exhaust ed. New wells and new fields must be discovered every year in order to give you a supply. The Dusiness, on account of its hazardous nature, is different from everything else. There will be electric lights, running water in the houses, street ears upon your streets, and railroads coming into your city a thousand years from now. You may have natural gas for ten years, or fifteen years, or possibly twenty years, but no one can tell how long it will last. Experience shows that the time will come when it will al! be gone. Rotary Spokes. Governor Capper was a special guest at the dinner. He was accompanied by Otis L. Benton, Republican candi- aste tor congress in the Sixth district. Other special guests were the city commissioners and George P. riayden, city attorney. Posters were placed on the walls which read, "Light with Gas Except at Night," and "Cook with Gas Except at Meal Time." "Heat with Gas Ex cept in Winter." Excellent music was furnished by the Kotary quartet, comprising Ray Lattner, W. E. Bullis, Hugh Smith and Paul Van Ness. While the dinner was in progress Tom Powell rushed into the room dressed In kilts. He sang tnree scottisn songs. H. H. Pugh, chairmen of the en tertamment committee, presented Fred Voiland, the new president, with a speaker's gavel, which looked a great deal like a brick with a handle attached. GOOD RAIN AT LAST (Continued from Psre Obm since June 26, a period of seventy days. The rainfall today netted half as much as has fallen previously In the whole time. The forecast, calling for partly cloudy and cooler weather tonight and Friday, does not indicate a long duration of the storm. The highest temperature on record for this date is 98 degrees, established in 1899. The low record, 46 degrees. occurred in 1889. The mercury Wed nesday reached 94 degrees, but today was not expected to go higher than 80. The wind this morning was blowing at the rate of eight miles an hour from the south. The Kaw river re mains at 4.5 feet. At 7 o'clock this morning rain was still falling at many places in the Kaw valley but none was heavy enough materially to affect the river. The Santa Fe reports rain over its eastern, middle and western divisions, including all territory touched by its lines in Kansas. The rainfall was comparatively heavy. Reports from other roads indicate that the rain is practically general. However, there .still remain several dry spots. DAILY WEATHER, REPORT.

WHEAT Reports that Greece had joined tJfe Anglo-French allies put wheat under selling pressure today, and caused a weakening of prices. In this connection the bears gave em phasis to announcements that there vai sufficient tonnage at present in the Black Sea to move 20.000,000 bushels and that the available surplus which could move if the Dardanelles were open would aggre gate 400.000.000 bushels. Opening quota tions here which ranged from It to lc lower, with December at f 1.524 to (1 fc! and May at tl.S3 to $1.54. were followed by a substantial further decline. Lack of confirmation for reports about .Greece led afterward to something of a recovery, and so, too, did word of Bul garian successes against Rumania. The close was nervous, fcc to Hjc net lower, with December at $1.03 and Mav at $1.55. CORN Corn weakened with wheat. Most of the selling came from pit speculators After opening unchanged to c lower the market underwent a moderate additional aetback.

STOCKS Liquidation of weak bull accounts occurred in the first hour, when the selling of Ma rines, Kelly-Springfield, and other special ties caused general recessions. There was one notable exception, however. Reading, running counter to the entire list on Its steady rise to 109, the highest quota tion in months. Reading's advance exer cised a reassuring effect elsewhere, espec ially in rails, which assumed leadership of the market. Union Pacific, the Coalers and the more prominent trunk lines were 1 to 2 points higher. A feverish under tone prevailed at noon. Bonds were steady except for weakness In Rock Island debentures. Substantial recoveries from yesterday's late heaviness were registered by important stocks at today's opening, United States Steel first offering was a block of 8.500 shares at an extreme gain of a point, but Marine preferred, Reading, Crucible and Lackawanna Steels, Beet Sugar and Mexican Petroleum, were higher by 1 to 2 points.

SHOWS OF EVERY VARIETY Tents and Stands for Blocks on the Midway. Next week Topeka will probably entertain more visitors than ever before in its history. The Big Free State Fair will no doubt draw thousands of out-of-town people. Many private homes will be called on to help care for the vast numbersj We are offering some exceptional values to help you fit up your spare room. i i Heretofore There Has Always Been Space to Spare. When the contract with the Johnny J. Jones midway show company was signed by the state fair management, not a thought was given to the size of the grounds needed. There has been a carnival show at the fair every year and there has always been space to spare. But after the contract was signed, Phil Eastman, secretary, be gan to figure. The longer he figured the worse shape he was in. Finally he wrote to the show company and asked that a representative be sent to Topeka. The representative came and he and Eastman looked over the grounds se lected. The representative measured off the available ground, figured a lit tle and remarked to the secretary: "There isn't room enough here." "I know it," replied Eastman, "that's why I sent for you." In order to make room for the big show It has been necessary to remove the old horse show ring and all other unnecessary things. With the Jones aggregation are thirty separate shows. They cover more ground than any car nival ever before in Topeka. The shows will be located just east of the driveway and northeast of the grandstand. The ground has been cleaned off and within a day or two will be ready for the tents when they arrive. The show is at Lincoln week. this CAUGHT IN BURNING OIL Seven Out of Twelve Men Escape Flames Thro Injured May Iie. Fort Worth, Sept. 7. Three men are expected to die from being hurned by oil in a ravine at midnight last nifiht. They are employes of the Texas Oil company and were working on a damaged pipe line when the es caping oil became ignited. Then be gan a race for life down the ravine. Seven workers escaped uninjured. Five however were caught. Dan Jacobs of Newavk, Willis Brown of Grand Prai rie and A. B. Frazier of Greenville are not expected to live. They are in a Fort Worth hospital. Foreman Maynan cannot account for the origin of the fire tho one of the injured men says a smouldering campfire ignited tho oil. L- f -4 ill I V4 I fl- N Arrow points to Judge and Mrs. Hughes.

Ixs Angeles Will Pay $4,750,000 for Electric IJght Plant. San Francisco, Sept. 7. The Cali fornia railroad commission has rend ered its decision in the Southern Cali fornia Edison case, in which the city of Los Angeles asked the commission to determine the just compensation to be paid by the city to the Edison com pany for their company's electric dis tributing system in and adjacent to Los Angeles. The city proposes to dis tribute thru this system electric en ergy generated by the city in con nection with its Owens river water property. The railroad commission's opinion and findings are signed by Commis sioners The'.an, Loveland, Gordon and Devlin. Commissioner Edgerton filed a dissenting opinion, in which he rend ered an award considerably smaller than the award of the majority of the commission. The commission finds thfit $4,750. 000 is the just compensation for the property and business of the Southern California Edison company actually to be taken by the city and that an additional sum of $1,578,000 must be paid by the city as severance damages to property of the Edison company, located outside the city of Los An geles, which property is not to be taken by the city, but the value of which the commission finds will be diminished by reason of the sever ance from the property which is to be taken. The company's price sought was $20,000,000. BOY'S INVENTION WILL WAKE MAID WHEN RAIN FALLS Minneapolis, Sept. 7. A i2-year-old Minneapolis boy has solved the prob lem of he ages. He has perfected a device to awaken the maid and cause her to close the windows when it rains at night. The inventor of the "show er alarm" is Morton Grant, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Grant. Wires attached to a bell in the maid's room are connected by a piece of dry paper, a non-conductor of elec tricity. When rain begins to fall the first drops fall into a funnel and wet the paper. The paper then becomes a conductor, closes the electrical circuit and rings the bell. GETS BURGLAR; IS SHOT When Father "Was Disabled, 11-Ycar Old Son Grappled Intruder. Atlanta, Sept. 7. C. D. Wayne, sup erintendent of the Southern Fassenger association was shot and seriously in jured today when, unarmed, he grap pled with a burglar whom he discov ered in his bed room at his home here. He probably will recover. When his father was disabled, Wil liam Wayne, 11 years old, attacked the man. The burglar pushed the boy away and fled. A Practically Perfect Preparation. VEARS of experience have enabled Mr. Fletcher to make Castoria a practically perfect preparation. These years of labor the amount of money required to introduce its merits to the public: the investment in its manufacture, including the most modern machinery, mean a vast amount of invested capital. It follows that the greatest care is exercised in the selection of each ingredient, and the greatest attention is paid to every detail of its. preparation. The result is the practically perfect preparation in the finished product Fletcher's Castoria. Herein lies the guarantee of the absolute safety in the use of Fletcher's Castoria for the baby, and the warning against irresponsible makers of imitations and counterfeits. The signature of Chas. H. Fletcher that is printed in black on the wrapper and red on the bottle is the mother's safeguard. Children Cry For Net Content 15YlnidDradiffi i inn jMirTiilfL. r !5n "S F fc ;;k It tw t.

Parman, of Nashville, Tenn., says "The perfect health of my baby is due to your Castoria the first and only medicine he has taken. He is never satisfied with one dose, he always cries for more." Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Johnson, of Stevens Point, Wis., say "When our baby was two weeks old he cried so much we did everything for him, then got some Castoria and he is now strong and fat. We would not be without it, and are very thankful to you."

This is the first umbrella I have sold this summer," said a Kansas ave nue salesman this morning as he dealt out a dusty sample from a nearby showcase. Now that F. C. Fox will be the new general manager at the Santa Fe of fices, it is assumed that all the mes senger boys will be doing the "fox trot" in Topeka soon.' The wind Wednesday damaged tele phone service both in Topeka and over the state. In parts of Kansas long distance telephoning was impos sible owing to the condition of the lines. Will F. Axtell of the Topeka Trans fer and Storage company says his son Harold's pet rabbit fell down the cold air shaft at their house, and that it was necessary partially to disarrange the furnace to remove the animal. Owing to the immense cracks in the ground it can rain for days before the water will begin to drain, weather ex perts state in Topeka today. The rain today saved hundreds of trees on To peka's dried up lawns. A Republican rally will be held at Gage Park school house Friday night.

A. work with the Kansas soldiers who will encamp there this week. J. E. Manley, Kansas state secretary, is making a strenuous effort this week to secure four Kansas association men for the work. Following the receipt of a telegram from Kansas City, Hugh Larimer, un dersheriff, went to the Union Pacific station Wednesday afternoon and sat upon the baggage of C. W. Cooper un til that individual called for it. Coop er is wanted in Des Moines on a felony charge and slipped past the officers at Kansas City. He is accompanied by his wife. He will be taken back to Iowa. Mrs. Rosette Coleman, a negro wom an, was arrested by J. M. Myers, dep uty United States marshal, on the Fort Leavenworth reservation, charged with assault. The charge is that Mrs. Cole man followed her husband and an other woman and fired in the general direction of the "other woman." Her reputation is good, she having been employed as a domestic on the reser vation for many years. The officer employing her furnished bond. The Rev. W. M. Balch, pastor of Lowman Hill M. E. church, is in Glenwood, la., this week delivering series of lectures before the annual meeting of the Des Moines conference of the M. E. church. Doctor Balch was the first secretary of the Methodist Federation of Social Service and in that capacity edited the. "Social Creed cf the Churches," which has been adopted 3S the social program of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. C. G. Blakely, a Topeka insurance man and former candidate for mayor, lost i22 when his pocket was picked on a street car from the Santa Fe sta tion Wednesday night. He paid his fare and placed his wallet back In a side pocket. He was standing on the crowded rear platform and when the car reached Seventh and Kansas ave nue Mr. Blakely discovered the wallet was missing. The theft was reported to the police. Following the filing of a complaint by Miss Edith Seville a warrant was issued from the court of Topeka Wes nesday afternoon charging C. E. Deck er and Fred B. Gibbs with stealing an automobile a racer. Miss Beville charges that during her absence from Topeka two men represented to her sister that she owed them $350 and that the sister, knowing none of the details, permitted the car to be placed in a garage to be held in trust until Miss Beville returned. The automo bile disappeared and the garage man says the two men named In the war rant took it.' TAKE BACK CONFESSION Mrs. Barnes Tortured by Officers, Says Attorney for Woman. Chicago, Sept. 7. Counsel for Mrs. James B. Barnes, who yesterday was charged with murder by a coroner'3 jury after an inquest over the body of her husband, today repudiated the woman's confession to the police in which she admitted the killing. "Mrs. Barnes was subjected to every torture known to the sweatbox and the third degree continued thruout the entire night," said E. S. Day, her at torney "and she broke down under the pressure." Does Your stomacii Good HORSFORD'S ACID PHOSPHATE aids digestion, allays thirst and is especially refreshing in hot weather. Adv. Secretary of Agriculture Has Wallingford Tales. Hundreds of western Kansas farm ers who have lifted the mortgages from their farms are now playing even with the grain market manipu- lators. They are holding their grain for top prices and sell only when their judgment tells them to let loose. Mil lions of bushels of grain are stored in "Kansas and almost every day some story reaches J. C. Mohler, secretary of the state board of agriculture, con cerning the long profits claimed by Kansas farmers. Corn grown in Kansas in 1915 was apparently all sold. But this week J. C. Mohler received a letter from Clyde W. Miller of 'Mahaska, Washington county, in which he stated that he was Just delivering 9,500 bushels of corn produced on his farm last year. There is a tremendous demand for the old corn and Miller's little reserve supply of feed is worth 90 cents a bushel or slightly more than $8,600 for the supply-

That is Just a sample. Every mail brings Mohler stories of big profits by farmers and renters in the wheat and corn producing counties. Here is just a sample. A poor, downtrodden man who couldn't afford to own a Kansas fsrm rented a tract of land in Thomas county. Now Thomas county is the original "blown land" and the territory where the late James Fike worked his heart and sou! out in an effort to make wheat grow on the soil that wouldn't spend a defi nite period in any given locality. His Share' 17,000 Buslicls. This meek and lowly Thomas county renter has threshed the 1915 wheat crop. His share of the crop on the land he farmed is slightly in excess of 17,000 bushels. And with the war in Europe and the frantic displays by wheat pit speculators, 17,000 bushels of hard winter wheat is a fair year's return, thank vou. "The crops of 1914-15-15 simply have put the western Kansas farmers in. the big league financially, saia Secretary Mohler. "Stories are corn In in everv dav about the farmers. who, selling their Fords and light cars are buying heavier ana Detter ma chines. Thev are building new and modern homes all thru the wheat belt and I believe more girls and boys from the farm will go to Kansas ana eastern colleges this year than ever before. This isn't advertising stuff. It is just the plain, simple, every day story that comes to the office. And what Is more investigations are estab lishing the truth of the reports. "Our reports from western counties indicate that the wheat crop, while not so large as In 1914, is making tne hiirh eat. test of any crop grown in Kansas. Several Trego county wheat fields have tested 60, where as is ac cepted as good No. 2. The crop is the cleanup that was needed to put the farmers on easy street. I have scores of personal letters from farmers them selves and the corn and wheat stories are mere samples." WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER Committee Won't Investigate Railway Problems Before Election. Washington, Sept. 7. The joint con gressional committee appointea to in vestigate the general railroad problem has decided to begin hearings Novem ber 20. after the election is over. "The committee believed it could do nothing at present on account or tne general interest of members in the campaign," said Chairman Newlands. "Some senators and all the house members are up for re-election, so we determined that we would not begin this investigation until the date named. The scope of the resolution under which we will act is very broad and the committee can take up any phase of the railroad Question it may deem advisable. I am of the opinion that the question of the relation of wages to the receipts of railroads will be given careful consideration.

Just exactly as to who is going to bo who in the immediate future in the Rumanian arena of the war seems to t a question of exceeding uncertainty at this writing. But Rumania has so much help handy and the Central Powers have so many really hot Irons la the fire Just now that the eventual ities of the fighting that Rumania Is now doing are perhaps not so doubtful. Still, all prophecy Is unreliable, or mostly so, and none, more so than that which may be concerned with what is going to happen on any stage of the European war. Villa is finally reported to be march ing on United States troops again. But, if he makes such connections, the United States troops should surely be prepared for him this time and able to make his reception as warm as ia its due. Germany's military leaders seem to be Just about as complacent as they were at the beginning of the great war, and after German arms had triumphed so signally on so many fields. At least, they are reported as being entirely satisfied with the war situation as it exists today and with the newly developed war conditions that confront the Central Powers.

Not only does the paper shortage in -Jfew Zealand continue to interfere seriously with the printing business in general, but it has reached such an acute stage that it is being felt by ihe New Zealand government, and to 'such an extent that the latter is ac tually limiting the publications turned out by its departments. And there is even talk of suspending some of the governmental department publications because of the difficulty in getting paper, as well as the great increase in its price. There has been and still is a paper shortage in this country, altho it likely has never been as severe as is the case in New Zealand, but it was pretty serious, not so long ago, and the United States government seemed to work on an exactly opposite tack from the sensible one that is be ing pursued by the New Zealand gov ernment. The Congressional Records came from the presses bigger and fat ter than ever and were and are being distributed more generously than ever before. The federal department re ports were and are being ground out in their usual voluminous grist, and some of them in more elaborate form as to the quality of paper and illustrations than ever before. And the govern mental departments, in addition to having their reports and bulletins printed, are using more paper than ever before in their history for re sumes and abstracts of these reports and bulletins which are scattered broadcast thruout the land. This is assuredly a great nation for doing ev erything in a big and expensive way regardless of any emergency that may happen along. All of these govern- ment reports, and so forth, are valu able and of much use to many of those who get them. But why should our national government be so zealous in urging everybody who uses paper or obtains possession of paper that toon becomes waste to conserve the paper supply In every possible way during a paper famine period when it apparently hasn't had so much as an inclination to set a good example on its own part in such important prem ises. WEALTH AND HEALTH. What profiteth a man that he gain the whole world yet lose hia health? significantly asks a bulletin just Issued by the United States Public Health Service, and it continues: Naturalists say that long ago the prehistorio waters, were infested with species of enormous sharlc which finally became extinct by reason of the workings of its voracious appetite. Thus nature eliminates the over-fed.' The desire for ease of life amd plen tiful diet is universal and ia the great stimulus of man and animals alike. When man becomes greedy amd takes more ease and food and drink; than la his share. Nature discards hian. In the race for power and place. for ease of circumstance amd relief from the stimulus of hunger, the mod ern man is apt to forget that -unless he is careful of his body he wiD soon be made to suffer for the infraction of Nature's inexorable physical law. With the loss In body tone comes an equal loss in mental acuity and the brain which for a time was able to operate despite the complaints of an over-fed. under-exercised, self-poisoned body, stops working. Statisticians have discovered that the mortality rate of persons in the United States over 4S yearl of age is Increasing. The strenuous life of to day is not alone responsible for this. Lack of health-giving exerccse, super fluity of diet, lack of restcaring sleep, over-stimulation, the high pressure of the race for power, wealth, and posi tion, plus physical neglect these bring early decay. The goal is reach ed wealth is amassed ruonor, posi tion and power are just being grasped when the apple of accomplishment turns to the ashes of dissolution. The brilliant mind becomes clouded, the steady hand is no longer accurate, the eye which once gazed fearlessly on the whole world is dimmed and it Is not long before the final breaik up occurs. All of this was entirely preventable. Other things being eqrual it is the man who leads the well-balanced life who lasts the longest, wftose work to the end is uniformly the best, he who neither overworks nor overplays, neither overeats, overdrinks, nor over sleeps, he who maintains a standard ef simple healthy diet in moderation, who offsets mental won-k with physical recreation, who is as honest with his own body as he is with his own busi ness. When success comes to such an one his physical and mental condition is such that he can enjoy in peace of mind and contentment of body the fruits of his labors. The regulations of United States Public Health service state: "It is the duty of officers to maintain their physical as well as their professional fitness. To this end they shall be al lowed time for recreation and study whenever their official duties will per mit." If the government regards it as es sential that its sanitary experts shall be safeguarded in this way, is it not equally important to every citizen that he similarly maintain a high standard of physical integrity? GRANT IN 184; THE ALLIES IN 1916. "Remember that we may any day read that the British and French have got thru," writes Frank H. Simmonds, in the American Review of Reviews for September in an article entitled: "The Battle of Europe Allied Offen sives on Four Fronts." and Mr. Sim monds continues: "It is unlikely, but it is not Impossible, and if they do get thru then the western field will be come the most interesting and im portant. But short of this it is well to recall that what the French and British are accomplishing is not the reconquest for vast areas, but the holding of big German forces on the western front and the consequent starvation of the Austrian and German lines in the east and the south. They are Inflicting heavy losses not larger than they are suffering, probably ma terially less. Just as Grant's losses were far greater than Lee's, but these losses, borne mainly by the British, the Brit ish can better afford than can the Germans afford what it is costing them to hold on. Above all, it is the strain the Allies are putting upon Ger man stocks of munitions, by their western attack, which is helping the Russians and the Italians at this junc ture. 'Read Lee's comments in the last days of his defense of Petersburg, when the north was discouraged and the South frankly exultant in the be lief that Grant could never break thru and you will have the picture as the Allies see it and you will have ex actly the idea of what the British and French are doing In the west, or try ing to do. If the parallel is a good one, we may have many months be fore there is any break in the west, but the effect of the western opera tions will be unmistakable in the east and so far it has been unmistakable. "Looking over the whole field you may conclude that the Allies' have agreed to make their main effort this summer and fall against Austria. Russia and Italy are to attack Austria the French and British in due course of time will endeavor to reach the Austrian frontier coming up from Sa- lonica. But now the mission of the French and the British is to occupy Germany so completely that she will be unable to go to the aid of her ally. Had they been able to do this in the spring of 1915. Austria would have collapsed in the Carpathian fighting: Had they been able to do this after the Marne and Lemberg. Austria would have collapsed in the first six months of the war. Every thing now depends upon the amount of help Germany can give that ally she has twice saved. The amount of aid she can give is conditioned on the amount of pressure she has to meet in the weat. "The Allies are now engaged in put ting into operation a thoroly co-ordinated plan for winning the war. It seems to be a plan which has for its main element the elimination of Aus tria by defeat and exhaustion. If this be the case the striking and impres sive work will be done by Russia with Italian contributions. If ustria is put out, then the German problem can be tackled next year. Meantime France and Britain are bending all their energies to holding as many Ger mans as possible on the west front. In doing this they may get thru and expel the Germans from France and even from Belgium, but this presup poses a German weakness that is not disclosed or to be expected. The measure, of Allied success now must be had in the east, not the west, by the Austrian situation, not the German, and the most important thing that the Somme fighting can accom plish, the immobilizing of German masses when Austrian necessity is dire, is a thing that will not be dis closed in any official reports of trenches taken or lost, villages storm ed or destroyed from the Somme to the Scarpe." JJQUMAL EMOTES The man who doesn't make mis takes seldom reaches desirable goals. What one man may deem to be real comedy, the crowd is likely to consider simple silliness. Keeping on the straight road is not so difficult if you can fight off your curiosity to explore the crooked by paths that lead from it. Handsome may be as handsome does, but good looks help one to make a showing in a mob, and especially if said one is a female of the species. Nor would there be nearly so many fakirs and fakers if the rank and file of humanity did not enjoy being fooled and were not so prone to be faked. JAYMAWKm JJ0T& Some political history that has been unearthed by the Horton Headlight- Commercial: Since 1884 Kansas, in presidential elections, has gone Reuub llcan five times. Democratic twice and Populist once. Philip Flipflop is quoted by the Lan sing JSews as saying: "When a catty female wishes to slur her neighbor under the guise of a compliment, she remarks: "Mrs. Blank is a very attrac tive woman from a man's point of view.' Joe Howe, of the Dickinson County News, appears to qualify as an expert analyst of human nature In his ob servation: Probably some off us, next February, win declare that we didn't "feel" the heat much this summer and believe it. All aboard for Marion, Marion coun ty, Kansas. The Marion Iteview re ports: "A glorious rain fell during the early morning hours o this Thursday. Indications are that we will have more." This happens to be printed under date of August 31. but that surely doesn't rob it of any of its pleasing sounds for folk here abouts. There is the usual amount of gen eral lamentations in Kansas these days over solar plexus blow that has been delivered to this year's ariicul tural prospects in the state by the continued spell of hot and dry weatner. Because mucn or the Kan sas corn crop has gone a-glimmering. or its stalks into silos that the fore handed farmers have placed in their barnyards, the pessimists are certain that Kansas has gone to the asrieul tural bowwows for this year at any rate. And so a paragraph like the ftllowing from the Conway Springs Star is mighty good to listen to: "Good old Sumner county will come out on top again, and the fellows who stay with it will be on top, too. Not much to complain about now everything is in as good condition here cs in most other counties." And a great big ma jority oi tne newspapers or Kansas could report in the same fashion for their own communities, if they would take the trouble to do so. Fortunate ly, corn is not the only crop on which Kansas is dependent for a livelihood and so, many of the tears that are be ing shed In Kansas these days might tetter be kept in their reservoirs for some time when they might be more appropriate. GLOBE SMToi From the Atchison Globe. A woman must love a man if she supports him. Some of the "good authority" isn't as good as it lets on. People don't have to have anything to talk about in order to talk. Most of the saving is based on a desire to spend more later on in life. Every community has a man who makes people wonder how he makes living. The finishing school may have that effect on Father's pocketbook if he isn t wealthy. Probably the most thoughtful per son is a woman who thinks twice be fore she speaks. Ambition, to get anywhere, must consist of something more forceful than wishing: for things. The father of several grown daugh ters kfiows who controls the balance of power in his home, all right. If your inclinations are that way you will have to restrain yourself con siderably to avoid being a scold. We are also disposed to be suspi cious or tne person wno makes search for a vindication of his life work. It may be hard to convince a healttVy man that health is more important than wealth, but a sick man under stands it. OH SIPTO OF TEIE MOMENT T HOT K. MOCi-TOH. A CanversaUonaJlBt.

Yea, "Where Are They? What has become of the folks who were around last year saying that the war was causing all the rain and cold weather? Proud of Premonitions. Do you ever have premonitions? I have a friends who has them, and who is very proud of them. It is useless to try to persuade her that they do not mean anything. She will indignantly tell you of an occa sion when she had a premonition and something happened. "There was the time when I didn't want John to go on the fishing trip. and the baby was taken so ill while he was away," she will say. "And then there was the day I had the premonition my sister wouldn't come when she wrote me she was go ing to, and sure enough, she didn't." And so forth and so on, as long as you care to listen. Now, I do not dream of questioning her veracity, t am quite willing to be lieve she had the premonitions, altho she did not always remember to speak of it before the event. That is a mis take that prophets often make. But what I do question, is this- whether she ever took account of the number of times she has had premoni tions and they did not amount to any thing. I have a suspicion that if she did this she would find that they out numbered the others ten to one. As it is, they slip out of her mind and that is the end of them. A housemate oi mine said to me the other day when I was going on a little journey. "I hate to have you go I have a premonition that somtehing is going to happen to you." And then, before I could answer, he caught himself up and said, "I am ashamed of that. Saying I have premonition is only another way of saying, I shall worry,' and I won't handicap you that way." I think everyone with a pessimistic or worrying tendency nas promoni tions. a feeling in the bones that something is going to turn out wronar. Optimists have the opposite kind of premonitions, a feeling in the bones that something is going to come out right- On the whole, that is a much pleasanter feeling, at least for those who have it. inose wno are con nected with him sometimes suffer just as much inconvenience from h groundless optimism. In neitner case snouia tne pre monition be made tne basis or action. Analyze it. Go to the bottom of the matter. Find out if there is any real reason at the root of it, any cause for apprehending danger, any grounds for being sure of success. Then.when vou have gone to the bottom, look carefully at what you find and act accordingly. Premonition and superstition ate own cousins. Of course there are times when sentiment, as well as reason, has some influence on our actions, but don't get the premonition habit. It will surely cause both you and those about you much needless un Happiness. Besides, half the time premonition is lust another word for indigestion, (Copyright by George Matthew SIDE TALES BY BOTH CAMERON. Adams.) IX THE PtBLIC LIBRARY.

'Where- are you going over Labor Day, Miss Bennett?" The little fluffy-haired stenographer near the window was always asking impromptu questions mora or less em barrassing. Evelyn colored ever so silently as she bent to sign the last batch of let ters. "I hardly think I shall get away. I m taking home some new estimates to go over. You re an awful goose) to work so hard. You don't get any thanks for it. I can tell you that right now. I heard Mr. Dorrance tell Jimmie you were working yourself to death and you'd die in harness in the forties. You bet I won't." She ran her fingers thru her pretty curls daintily. "I'm going to Lake Lorraine on an excur sion. 'Excursions are very dancerous." said Evelyn, a bit coldly. "I don't like crowds." Don't you? I love them. And I love it when the band plays and the Doat starts away from the dock. It just thrills you. I can ride on a ferry ooat ana almost make Delieve 1 m go- Alter the others had left the office Evelyn sat at her desk as UBual, go ing over the last duties of thu dav when the office was quiet. And some. now tne words of the little stenog rapher kept recurring to her. Was she wrong to let life slip by without any real fun? She was 27, private secretary to Gates Waring, the civil engineer, ne was out or town a great deal of the time, and left the detail of the office to her absolutely. Lone- distance telephoning, night letters tnese naa oeen the sources of com munication between them. Now and then he came into the office for a few days, ran over what she had prepared, gave orders, and was gone again. Some of his own feverish energy seemed imiiamiiiea 10 tnose wi.o worked for him.

But some way she wanted to find that zest and thrill the stenographer had told her vi. one warned to be in a crowd- She left the office and rode nntnwn. stopping in at a tempting little shop open evenings on upper Broadway. It was the last breath of summer, and they were .closing out their suits and coats. SheiQhose a dark blue silk suit made on loose sport lines and a hat to matcn, a nobby sailor shaDe in hand- sewed silk, with a gull's wing sweep ing up in a line of defiance from one side, a beautiful, pointed silver-gray one. The next raornine earlv. sb fnund nerseir on a Jammed platform in Jer- sev. waiting for the excursion cars to be opened up. She had a ride of an hour, then a wonderful triD on a lake, and hours to spare on the veranda of a big hotel. And already she had found the thrill of happiness, starting away in tne Holiday throng. Only the loneliness Dotnered her. Every one else had somebody with her. sue had brought some magazines to read on the train. It must have been three-quarters of an hour before there came the long, shrill whistle again and again from the engine and the grinding of the brakes. The people around her rose and hurried to see what the trouble was, but she sat still, waiting. She had always had a dread of accidents. "It isn t our train, somebody near said after the brakeman had passed thru. "The Washington express hit a freight. Evelyn heard and rose. Of course it could not be his train, and still she found herself moving along with the crowd in the aisles down the car length, out on the platform, down be side the track. The engine of the express seemed to have tried to climb up the caboose of the freight. It rose like an uprearea animal, its head held high, the caboose a mass of splintered debris. No one was hurt? she asked the man next her. Guess the engineer s killed. They usually are," he said cheerfully. "They say he's jammed down under some pipes. They're afraid the currents got him. There's a fellow from the express gone up after him." Gone up after him? She looked again at the upreared mass. She could see a man's figure now moving down in the twisted jammed mass, the man who was endangering his own life from live wires on the big electric engine. The thrill of it all. the actual contact with life's tragedy, gripped her. Tense and rigid, she waited with the others until the man again, slowly, surely, struggled out with a limp bur den in his arms. "He's not dead yet," she heard him say, and at the sound of his voice she ran forward, ran like a child up to where he stood with both arms held out. "Oh, Mr. Waring, can I help?" His face and clothes were begrimed and his hands burned. But he turned to look at her with his curious smile of amused contentment with life in general. "Do you know where there's fresh water?" "There's a brook right in the field here," called out a boy from the neigh borhood. "I'll show you." She followed Waring to it, helped him as he knelt down to bathe his face, and tried to bandage his hands with strips of torn-up handkerchiefs. And while they stayed there, the whis tle of the excursion train sounded. "I haven't anything on it," .Evelyn said. "Never mind if it does go with out me. I was just going up to the lake for the day. You know I I had never been away on a holiday and I wanted to try it. But I'll stay with you now. I think you need me." "I think I always need you." War ing answered quickly. "It will be hours before they clear away that wreckage. Let's picnic by ourselves over here. If I go back they'll want to do the hero act over me becauae COME TO THINK IKSP a T& ahartffWiir8Sarfr-'rrg VSt X i ft I I got that poor devil out, I'd rather stay here." Evelyn never forgot that day. They found a walk up thru the fields that led to a ridge of woodland. Dinner was eaten at a little farmhouse broiled chicken and late corn and apple pie with whipped cream on it. Waring smiled contentedly at her as they sat out on the honeysuckle-covered side porch afterward and he smoked. "This is the happiest holiday I've ever had. I'd like to buy this farm and keep it." What for?" Evelyn leaned forward. her hair rumpled and wavy around ner Hushed, nappy race. And he answered deliberately, "For our honeymoon." She did not speak. "Would you like it. Evelyn? Don't you think we deserve a real holiday, dear?" "Don't you think that- after vou get back to town you'll be sorry you said that She asked it slowly, trying to keep her head and be sensible for his sake. "Dear, I've been intending to say it for ever so long, but I never seemed to find the time, and you were always busy. Maybe this is what holidays are for."

Bed comforts made out of cotton blankets, with usual amount of bat ting and knotted closely, will be found comfortable and easy to launder. Bread Economy Maybe this will help some young housewife, as flour has advanced in price. Never waste any bread after it has become state. Rye bread is also very rood this way: When boiling potatoes for dinner. after potatoes have boiled about fif teen minutes, cut stale bread same as for table and set bread up endways in steamer, let steam about fifteen minutes before serving and serve hot. It is as good as and even better than fresh bread. If you have no steamer, a colander will do fit a cover on tight. Honic-Made Calsomlnc. Home-made calsomine or fresco paint is easy to make. Use whiting, tint it with dye the color wanted, atir up to a good thick cream, then fdd to it a heavy flour paste. Thte will not rub off. Yellow ochre and no whiting used makes a cream ceiling. Use fiour paste for a body. One good coat is jufficient. Easy to put on, easy to mix. It makes clean walls and ceil ings and cost is not much. By using dye ana mixing colors you can have any color you want. Wash bluing and whiting makes blue, light or dark as you want it. Red eye and whiting makes pink or rtd as deep as you use color, it aepenas on the mixer. Make a good pailful for a room. It does not cost much and ia better than dirty walls. Canned Sweet Peppers.

And anyway, policemen seem rather more imposing than just plain crea tures, at least the beavers seemed to think so, because they followed Po liceman Billy very meekly up the creek.

The chancellor said that Insistence on an unrestricted submarine warfare would cause war between Germany and the United States and that the result of unlimited torpedoing would not Justify such a policy.

Conference Held Get-Together Session. Carranza Commissioners Out line Desires of Their Chief. GOVERNMENT IN FULL CONTROL Mould Make Treaty to Insure Against Border Raids. Villa Attacks on V. S. Towns to Embarrass Carranza. New London, Conn., Sept. 7. Ex tensive financial aid for Mexico will be one of the vital problems of the American-Mexican commission. Every effort will be made to avoid anything that suggests benevolence. But if there Is assurances of lasting stable con ditions below the Rio Grande, then the American government will lend its moral support Jo the flotation of a big Mexican loan In this country. This was learned reliably today as the American and Mexican commis sioners "recessed" in their conferences until tomorrow. There were no joint sessions today. Instead the commissioners delved into data on border subjects and the Amer- lean commissioners planned an infor j mal session on questions presented yesterday. The American commis sioners are optimistic over the out come of the conferences. The commissioners gathered about a round table, where Americans and Mexicans could almost rub elbows, Luis Cabrera, head of the Mexican deputation, presided. After the formality of an exchange of credentials, the Mexicans explained that the Carranza government wanted the following things: What Mexico Wants. 1. The withdrawal of all the re maining American troops from Mexi can territory. 2. A proper protection of the Mex ican border by the United States. 3. The recognition by the Ameri can government of the stability of the Mexican government under "First Chief" Carranza. 4. Recognition by the United States of the fact that General Car ranza is establishing the foundation of educational, economic and trans portation reforms that are bound to place Mexico on a level with any other American state. 5. A treaty between the United States and Mexico which will define exactly the conditions under which a recurrence of the present border dif ferences may be prevented. The Mexicans are said to have inclined to the opinion that American troops should not cross the line under any condition. When the Mexicans had prt-sented their views they were questioned at length by the Americans. Tn.y were ssked why they felt so sure of the strength of the Carranza sovi-rnment. It was poir.ted out that Villa was still very much alive and if the American troops were withdrawn he might again break into American territory to kill, destroy and loot. Nor was Villa alone in this kind of business, according to border dis patches, it was argued. Other bandit chiefs were said to be lurking beyond the Rio Grande, who mifrht at any time lead a murdering band into American territory. Carranza Has Control.

President Wilson signed the child labor bill a few days ago in the pres ence of several notables, most im portant of whom were Julia C Lath' rop, chief of the children's bureau of the department of labor, and her as sistant. Miss Helen L. Sumner. These women are shown in the background. Miss 1-athrop at the right Americans said, only to learn the truth, to get the facts, to determine absolutely whether it was safe either to Mexico or the United States to with draw American troops at this time. In short, the Americana aked for proofs of Carranza s ability to main tain law and order in Mexico and hold Villa in check. By way of reply, the Mexicans pointed out that Villa's spectacular at iacKs against tne united States were simply to embarrass Carranza. whom Villa hated because he had plotted to ooiam tne Mexican presidency. Villa had not discovered that his attacks had f.tiled. Instead of provoking trou ble between the United States and Mexico and inciting another rebellion on the tide of which he mipht oust Carranza and ride into Mexico City, he had simply increased Carranza's power. Villa also realized that the present pooceedirg of the commission promised to establish still more friend ly relations between the two countries. Accordingly, the United States need not fear more from Villa. As to the other bandit chiefs, practically all had been brought to bay. The Mexicans then sought to show how Carranza was trying to put into effect numerous reforms which would prevent the recurrence of such lawless conditions as followed the assassina tion of President Madero. Special ef forts were being made, they said, to perfect the Mexican school system. Attention was called to the fact, for example, that a Mexican woman- had just come to the United States to study American kindergartens and suggest changes in the Mexican schools which would be of the greatest benefit. When the condition of the Mexican railroads was brought up for discus sion, the Mexicans asserted that Car ranza was effecting their rehabilita tion as rapidly as possible. Tracks had been relaid. wooden bridges built wherever the old steel structures had been destroyed and trains were being run pretty nearly to schedule on all main lines. rid you ever sanction votp bnyins-?''

Candidates Want Two Per Cent and Committee, Six. There Is a big row on between the Republican county committee and the Republican candidates. Until the mat- ter of contention has been threshed j out there will be no campaign in Shawnee county. The committee wants a given amount of money from the I candidates and the candidates balk at the amount. They have fixed a lower i figure. The county candidates got together recently, without any members of the conty committee and talked over the campaign. They agreed that 2 per j cent of their first year's salaries if they be elected would be the maxi mum amount contributed by them to j the campaign fund this year. j The executive committee of the i county committee got together recent ly, without any candidates, and agreed that it would take at least per cent of the first year's salary of each can didate to make the necessary cam paign in Shawnee county. There is just 4 per cent between the candidates and the committee and un til they get together on some sort of a working basis not a wheel will be turned in the fall campaign. The executive committee asked the candidates to meet with it in the Of fice block Wednesday night to thresh the matter out. Candidates say there were some fireworks during the ses sion. They made the concession of 1 per cent, agreeing to stand for a S per cent assessment. The executive committee retired to another room and returned with a verdict for per cent and no less. Then the meeting broke up. Back to 2 Per Cent. Today the candidates or part of them are back on the 2 per cent basis. Practically all of them are pro testing against the big a?-s"ssment. Half a don of them said today they would not pay more than Z per cent of the first year's salaries no matter what action the county committee takes. The candidates maintain that If the county committee spends its money to aid the county candidates ahme 2 per cent will be sufficient for all pur poses. They object to paying for a lot of work done for state and national candidates. "Two years ago," said one candi date, "we put up a big assessment and practically all of it was spent In the interests of Arthur Capper and Charles Curtis. Very little was used in the interests of county candidates. We don't propose to do that again this year." The county committee maintains that it is necessary that the expense of big meetings addressed by foreign speakers who will be in Topeka, to aid all Republican candidates, be borne locally and that the only way to pay such expenses is thru the as sessment of county candidates. Another meeting was held today but no agreement was reached.

The Kansas orphan crop is so mea ger that the applications of more than 200 Kansas people for children are on the waiting list of the Kansas Children's Home society. Hardly a day goes by at the office of the socie ty, according- to Mr. Shirk, the secre tary of the society, without at least one appeal from some Kansas couple for one or more children. The society places about 100 children a year. One reason for the shortage, ac cording to Shirk is the fact that the society not only places children of parents unable to support them but in many cases assists mothers and fathers to care for their families, who otherwise would have had to turn their children over to the society. About 25 per cent are assisted every year In the support of their children. Mr. Shirk will go to Chicago next week to confer with the national com mittee of the Association of Children's Home Societies, of which Mr. Shirk is president. It is expected that so cieties in the association will under tnke a wider program of children's relief work as the result of the con ference of the national committee.

"It is only one step to the abdication of government" was the characteriza tion with which ChpIes H. Hughes here today wound up a vigorous denun ciation of the 'po!icy of surrender to force" which he saw in President "Wil son's hurrying thru the eight-hour law in attempting to avert the railroad strike. The Republican no ninee went farther in his denunciation of the leg islation than in any speech so far, and a crowd of about 1,600 cheered him. 'We cannot afford to surrender what we have won for our irKTtitutions in this country," the nominee said. What have we won? We have won the right to free discussion, a free press, a democratic form of govern ment, free assemblage, free legisla tures and an executive chosen by the people. Surrender of Principle. 'We have recently seen what I re gard as a very deplorable surrender of that principle. I am for the arbitra tion of industrial disputes. Labor can not afford to surrenaer that principle. "We have recently had, at the pro posal of the executive an art passed by congress confessedly in ignorance of the facts, and of what justice de mands. It is not an 8-hour a day law. It is a wage law, and nobody knew whether it was just or not. "Now, I am for justice in every thing, but I propose that in all we do we shall investigate first and then legislate. Our methods in this coun try are of priceless importance to us because they are methods which con serve our peace. It is only one step from peaceful settlement of such dis putes to the denunciation of our courts and all the machinery of peaceful settlement it is only another step to the abdication of government itself."

Victory for the party in the state and nation was predicted belore the Ohio state Democratic convention here b Sena t6 Atlee Pomerene, who declared there was contentment in the land everywhere except among Republican politicians. 'If one-half of the reports which I have heard in Washington within the last two months be true," said the senator, "victory in Ohio and in the nation is assured. "The standard bearer of the Repub' lican party has been conducting a trans-continental tour. It has created little or no enthusiasm among the Re publicans. It has filled the hearts of Democrats with joy. The people -will not change the realities of Wilson for the prophecies of Hushes. They wilf not changes the constructive program of democracy because of the carping criticisms of Republicans. In the Hsht of the great accomplishments of the. past three and a half years the voters will not displace the presiding genius under whose guidance this work has been done for one who indulges in criticisms of details and offers little or nothing affirmative or constructive save and except a return to the dis carded protective theories of the past." Shot at G. O. P. Candidate's Expenses. The senator expressed resrot that there was no law to limit expenditures in Ohio political campaigns and de-' clared every one familiar with Ohio politics beheved that in a number of elections to the United States senate the seats had been bought and paid for. He referred to expenditures of $22,175 by Myron T. Herrick, the Re publican senatorial nominee, and $29, 000 by the Herrick voters league in the recent primaries and declaied that the practice of using large ?ums of money in elections ought to be con demned by every law abiding citizen. ONE MORE CHANCE! (Copyright 1916, International News Service.) London, Sept. 7. German and Bul garian forces have scored the greatest victory in the Balkans since Rumania entered the war seven days ago. The strongly fortified Rumania town of Tutrakan on the1 Danube blocking the Way to the Rumania capital, only 3 3 miles to the north west, has been captured with 20,000 prisoners. The Germans and Bulgarians struck a quick blow, trapped the Rumanians on the south bank of the Danube and besides capturing more than half a Rumanian army corps, bagged 100 guns and caused the Rumanians heavy losses, Berlin reported this afternoon. The loss of Tutrakan was officially admitted by the Russian war office this afternoon, tho no mention was made of Russian forces co-operating in the defense. The German war of fice later announced the capture with details as to prisoners and guns. The Russians pressing in on the strongly fortified Galician town of HaJitz drove back the Austro-Germans to the city's very gates. Halitz is be ing bombarded by Russian artillery and is in flames, said an official state ment issued at Petrograd, reporting other Russian gains and the capture of 5,643 prisoners. RAISE WIDOW PENSION i Also Restores Soldiers' Widows Who 1 Have Remarried to Pension Roll. Washington, Sept. 7. A bill giv ing to widows of officers or enlisted men who served in the Civil or Mex ican wars or the war of 1812 and who have reached the age of seventy years pensions of $20 a month instead of the present $12 a month was passed today by the senate. It already has passed the house. Widows of Civil war soldiers drop ped because of marriage- to another person are restored to the oll by the bill. The brief debate on the bill did not disclose the additional cost lo the government. There -will be a real mine at the fair grounds during the state fair, Sep tember 11 to 16, and thpre will be a real rescue of miners from a burning mine. The rescue will be made with the most approved safety appliances which will be brought to Topeka In a special car supplied by the federal government. During the latter part of the week workmen will begin digging a mine. It will not all be underground. The dirt thrown out will be used to build up above the ground. The whole thing will be roofed over to conform as nearly as possible with natural con ditions, found in the coal mines of southeastern Kansas. Mell will go jn dressed as miners ostensibly to mine coal. Then there will be an explosion. The life saving car will shoot into the mine loaded with men. equipped with oxygen hel mets and all the other appliances nec essary for safe working In a burning mine, iney will bring out the men who are "entombed in the burning mine." Of course all the plans will be laid along safe lines and it is not expected that anyone will get hurt, but the men who go into the mine t, miners and who are there when the explosion takes place will be in more or less danger. If something should go wrong with the apparatus and delay the rescue car there might be trouble. The whole show will be on the fair grounds in view of everyone. Of course the actual rescue work will be done underground but spectators will see the smoke belching from the mouth of the mine, see the rescue car rush in and see it come out laden with "injured" and partially "suf focated" men. The federal government keeps a car of this kind in the coal fields, in southeastern Kansas, and when there a mine explosion or a mine fire the car is rushed to that point immedi ately. Many rescues are credited to it. However, few Kansas people ex cept those in the mining district have ever seen the operation. The car will be manned by a prize- wlnning crew.

In regard to the shortaj of gas in Topeka last winter, Mr. uindon, re ceiver of the Kansaa Natural Gas com pany, who spoke to the Rotary clul today noon, said this afternoon: "In conference with Governor Cap per a year ago, I told him that at that time there was available a large amount of gas some sixty miles fror. our lines; and that we could make mis ..nection. which would cost about $750,000, if we could toe assured of a rate of 30 cents per thousand: other- Wi"twOUM h1 Ket I" .m.?ey- Nothing was done about this until December, when a 28-cent rate was granted, which was not enough. Meanwhile, smelters took advantage of the situation and acquired this field. Now, we must go further for any connections and must have a hiKher price in order to insure money for the construction of new connec tions. Out of twenty-six items which enter into our business, there is an average increase of about 80 per cent. I.abor, which formerly cost $1.25, now costs 12.50: pipe, which cost 95 cents, now costs $2.00." HUGHES SCHEDULE GUT Nominee May Visit Kansas Again on Third Trip to West, Chicago, Sept. 7.

The work of clearing off accumulated debris is practically complete and North aiders are hoping for speedy action by the department. Will Conduct Cafeteria. The ladies of the Christian church have made preparations to conduct an eating booth at the Topeka Free State fair. They plan to accommodate from fifty to seventy-five persons at a time. The plan is to conduct a cafeteria rather than a dining tent. An attrao tive and varied menu will be offered. The prooeeds of the undertaking will be devoted to the church fund. The Ladies Aid society, wheih has charge of the tent, has conducted a booth J successfully for several years. May Have Municipal Tent. It has been suggested that it would be a good idea for the business men of the North side to unite in an effort

to have a North Topeka tent at the fair. This tent would be devoted to the advertising of North side business and industry. The purpose would be to advertise the town as a whole as well as the individual merchants. Any town, it is argued, must have publicity and recognition in the eyes of other communities before it can grow to a position of importance. It is thought that advertising is one thing that the Xorth side as a whole badly needs. The fair offers an excellent oppor tunity to accomplish this purpose among the people of the state. Getting; Heady for Schools. The schools are preparing for the opening of school which will occur September 18. At Quincy, repairs are still going forward. They will be com pleted before the opening day. At Quincy a new room has been added by an alteration in the interior arrange ment, and workmen are busy making heating connections. Several needed alterations and repairs which were promised for the school have not been started and it is feared that Quincy may have to get along without them. It is much regretted that improvements which are badly needed are being neg lected by those who have that work in charge. The promise was made that the walls of some of the rooms would be tinted, but it appears that it will not be done this fall. Notes and Personals.

JOSIES JIT HARD Honolulu Johnny Wins Another Game for Missourians. Tony DeFate Goes on Hospital List With Bad Ankle. Today, if the weather permitted, the Savages and the Drummers were scheduled to battle thru a double header at Savage park to make up an early season postponement and tomor row the Josies end their season's ap pearance here with a game scheduled to start at 2:30 o'clock. Tomorrow will be ladies' day, and the game will be called early so that the Drummers can get out of town on railroad tickets that were purchased before they came here. Like the Savages, the Drummers are playing real baseball when it is too late, for them to accomplish anything. In the opening game of the series AVednesday. they flashed some real playing.and with easy pitching to face, won by the score of 11 to 7. Hall Hit Hard. Hall, who started the game for the locals, was knocked all over the pas ture, and when he was finally relieved by Burwell in the sixth inning the game was already lost. If Hall had been anything like as effective or as efficient as his opposition it would have been an altogether dif ferent story. Hall had had a. good rest, while Honolulu Williams, his oppon ent, was working his sixth game out of the last twelve the Drummers have played. But Williams was much more effective, and, even tho he showed the effect of his recent overwork, he was tight in the pinches and finished the game stronger than he started it. Hall, on the other hand, was good for the first two innings, and then blew. The game might have been saved if he had been sent to the club house in the third, fourth or fifth innings. But he was allowed to stay until the disastrous sixth ani when he was finally pulled from the mound the game was lost. m Burwell Not Bad. Burwell took up the task in the sixth when there were three in, one on and two out. He permitted one hit and one run and then retired the side, and after that .held the Josies to four hits and one run. But before Burwell en tered into the fray Hall had permit ted 14 hits and was responsible for AO runs. One run, scored by Goodwin in the first inning gave Engle's men a tem porary lead, but Kirkham's home run in the third with two men on ahead of him put the Drummers in front. Goodwin drove R. Lathrop in for an other run in the last of the third, but the Missourians offset this in the fourth, and again in the fifth Kirk ham hit Hall for a homer that scored ,two and Otto Williams pounded Sulli van across the home rubber. The last of the fifth was the only really bad inning Johnny Williams had. He allowed five hits and one walk and the Savages came within one run of tying the count. But Hall allowed McCabe and Jourdan to sin gle in the first of the sixth and was hit by Sullivan for the second triple of the game. Hall was then relieved by Burwell. McClelland doubled, scoring Sullivan for the second triple of the game. Hall was then relieved by Burwell. McClelland doubled, scoring Sullivan and O. Williams whiffed. But the game was lost and the Savages were never within strik ing distance again. It Was a Mean Day. The whole game was played under very trying circumstances. A regu lar March wind blew constantly, and this, along with the dust, made prac tically every ball that was hit in the air good for a safe blow. Time after time the wind carried the ball out of reach of fielders when it appeared that they were going to have easy chances, and several times balls that appeared to be going foul were picked up by a gust of wind and carried to fair territory. DeFate. who was back in the game for the first time since last week, hurt his ankle again in the fifth inning and Manager Engle was forced to go back to his old make-shift line ud. with Bill Lathrop on first base, Agler in the field and himself at third base.

The Dope Has Been Upset Al most Every Season, Too. BY FRAXK G. 3IEXKE. New York. Sept. 7. Who will ex plain the peculiar yes, amazing fact that not since 1910 has a western club won a pennant in the majors? Seven seasons ago the Cubs hurtled thru the National and landed at the lop. Their accomplishment ended the triumphs of the west. Five races have bean fought and finished in each league since then. And the ten flags nutter in the East! The 1916 battling isn't over yet, but it looks to many as if two banners of victory will be hoist ed to the top of the eastern flag poles. No western entry can win in the Na tional this year. The battling l as simmered down to a stretch-strugglG between the Dodgers and the Braves, with the Phillies having a chance and with the Giants fairly certain of fourth position. And all are Easterners. The western clubs nave been outclassed from the start The fight in the American is still an open one. The Red Sox are the choice, but the Tigers and Brownies are thundering along. Jn that pair re poses the hope of the west. A bit far ther to the rear are the Yankees, White Sox and Indians, but it seems that the trio is too far behind to have a real "look in." Easterners Not Classiest. How can one account for the phe nomena of continued Eastern suprem acy? Some will say that the East ern clubs always have had better tal ent. But that is r.ot so. Others will offer the guess that it is because the Eastern clubs are richer and can buy needed stars in critical moments. But that hardly can be the answer because the misfit Braves of 1914, and the patched-up Phillies of 1915 romped in ahead. And this year it looks some what like the cast-off Dodgers. The Giants won the plays of 1911, 1912 and 1913 with a club that, on paper, did not show superior to the 1911 Cubs or the 1912 Cubs and Pi rates. Yet they won. The 1914 Card inals looked awfully good and they fought a game battle. But, near the end they faltered and they succumbed under the spell of the East. The 1911 Tiger crew was a wonder team but it couldn't head the Ath letics. In 1912 the best the west could do was a fourth with Chicago. The 1 T i 3 Indians were real ball players. It was a great team. But it couldn't win. t was tn- "--t- a better team on paper than the 1915 or 1916 hite Sox? In each season it looked like the class like a certainty. Let its pennant dreams never came true. The 191b Tifrers flashed the greatest offensive work in baseball's history and an Eastern club won. flashed across the line an easy winner. SCOREBOinn fushfs Musser, Pes Moines star pitcher, held the chesty Omahogs to three hits in the opening game at Des Moines and shut them out. After having a day's rest, the Wichita I Wolves were booked to resume their schedule at ienver today. The other club owners will foot the bills to the end. Ty Cobb, the Detroit wonder, after a scratch hit to short scored the winning run for the Tigers over St. Louis by steal ing second and third and making the plate thru an infield hit. The Red Sox failed to gain bv their vic tory over the Athletics for the Tigers kept right at their heels. It was the hundredth defeat for Athletics this season. Kube Benton of the Giants did his best to be an iron man and almost accomplished it. He barely missed getting two wins in the same afternoon. It was a hard matter for a short sighted inan to tell what club was wearing white uniforms at the Polo Grounds, for the Brooklyn and New York adherents were about equally divided. The Indians rallied and made two runs but the effort fell just two short of being enough to win from the White Sox. TO TRAIN IX MOUNTAINS. Rush Will Have Charge of Princeton Football Squad From First. Princeton, N. J., Sept. 7. Lake Min newaaka, N. Y., in the Snawangunk mountains, has been chosen by the Princeton football management for the early practices of the eleven. The work of the candidates- will be under the personal direction of Coach John H. Rush. The men will return to Princeton on October 6 for their first home game against North Carolina the fol lowing day. The schedule: Princeton vs. Holy Cross, September 30; North Carolina at Princeton, Octo ber 7: Tufts at Princeton, October 14; Lafayette at Princeton, October 21; Dartmouth at Princeton, October 28; Bucknell at Princeton, November 4; Harvard at Cambridge, November 11; Yale at Princeton, November 18. 'PIRATE CATCHERS BEST EVER" DREY FUSS Art Wilson left and Walter Schmidu "Our catching department is the best the club has evei known," boasts Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pittsburg Pirates. He says Walter Schmidt is the best catcher he ever laid eyes on and that Art Wilson, catcher secured from the Cubs, is coming along fine; Noodles andNoggets Du from trie Dope Pot OA By Cluf- Incidentally, did you note that Wtcbita dropped to the last bole in the cellar the day she wound up her Western league career The Savajres have three candidates for draft nonors, and any one of tne three ought to make good if given a trial. Eddie Monroe, Tony DeFate and "Pep-Nat1 Goodwin are the pas timers referred to. A big league scout was talking to a To peka pitcher. "Sou. I wouldn't scra too much with the umpires, if I were you," lie said. "You know they can do you a lot of good or a lot of harm." And if Freddie Welsh were giving a young boxer advice he probably would say: "Make friends with the referee. My Boy! Make friends with the referee!" t Squire Huggins, who had a very suc cessful season at Fort Podge, is borne again, his team having: completed its sea son. Squire is the Topeka youngster who gives promise of becoming a sensational pitcher some day. Almost, at That. He couldn't be a bull dog. This was not nature's choice. But he didn't miss it far. He had a bull dog's voice, Umpire Miller, who worked his first game in Topeka Wednesday afternoon, al most scared several faint-hearted fans ,to death when he called his first decision of the afternoon. When it comes to making spoken words sound like thunder, Mr. Miller is in a-class all by himself. Lindamore, the new Savage infielder. did not do very much with the stick, but his fielding stood out as a feature of the Druininer opener. In the fourth inning when Wright hit a hot one over second base, he made as pretty a stop as was ever made by an infielder. And on other occa sions he showed the earmarks of a real ball player. The Drummers must have been bitting way over their heads Wednesday, other wise they could not be down at the bot tom of the league. Kirkham erot two home runs In a row, Jourdan got five hits out of five attempts, and Sullivan connected with three triples and a single out of four times at the rubber. While the Josies were in Denver a ru mor wa s circula ted to the effect th at their uniforms needed washing. But the Ienver critics missed it a mile. What the Drummers need is to have the clothing lining of their real estate toggery iry cleaned. J. R. McCosh, one of the veterans aronnd whom Doc Kennedy will build his 'Wash burn team this season, is back in town and ready for the preliminaries to the gridiron season to begin. M'-Cosh has spent the summer on a Colorado ranch, and he looks to be in the pink of condition. He is about ten pounds heavier than last year. Washburn candidates who are readv to begin practice will be given suits next week. Bv the end of the week Coach Ken nedy will probably have most of the men out for work. Captain Stewart already is getting his kicking: leg into shape. A Flenii n gton, Missou rl, lad na med Stewart has hung up a new pitching rec ord. In a recent game with Ash tirove he allowed neither a hit nor a run, struck out twenty-four batsmen and allowed only three balls to be hit fair, one of which was a fly and the other two easy ground balls. One hundred and eighty-two paid to see the Drummer opener Wednesday. This about enabled the management to pay the ground keeper's salary for the day aud have street car fare home.

A PHENOM AT 15 Atlanta Lad Is Sensation of National Golf Tourney. Seven Players Left in Battle for U. S. Title. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 7. R. T. Jones, jr., the 15 year old boy of At lanta, is the surprise and sensation of the national amateur golf champion ship, which is being piayed at the Merion Cricket club. The southern youngster worked his way into the third round by defeating Frank W. Dyer, the Pennsylvania state cham pion, 4 up and 2 to play. In order to win Young Jones had to overcome a lead of four holes gained in the first six played. He did this by coming home in 34 strokes, despite a six on the eighteenth, an easy par four hole. In working his way into the third round, Jones is in the running with seven other golfers who had national reputations before the tournament started. Other Results. Oswald Kirkby, the Metropolitan and New Jersey champion, went down oefore Gardiner White of Flushing by a two up score. White played pre mier golf to win from Kiikby. He was 74 fcr the first 18 to 75 for Kirk by. and this left him one up at the turn. The champion, Robert Gardiner, won fairly easily over "ax Marston. the crack New York player, 5 to 3. He had Marston five down after the morning round and continued to play consistently good golf so that Marston was unable to pick up any holes in the afternoon. Chick Evans had it easy with W. P. Smith of Pinevalley, and tried many experiments on the course after he had the match well in hand. His win a-i by ten up and nine to play. Jesse Guileford, the Massachusetts champion, after playin? indifferent golf in the morning and landing all even with O. A. Omiston of Pittsburg on the eighteenth green, went out m the afternoon and won by 6 and 5. Perry Adair, the other Atlanta youth .who has done so well in this championship, could not stand the pace and ave way to D. C. Corkran of Baltimore in the afternoon, after playing him fairly even in the morn ing, v Coach Yost Says Topeka Boy Looks Like a Regular Wolverine. Emporia, Kan., Sept. 7. Fielding H. Tost, the famous football mentor of the University of Michigan, was an Emporia visitor this week, stopping off here several hours enroute to the Kansas oil fields in which he has financial interests. Coach Yost met a number of local footbair enthusiasts while here, and in discussing his prospects for the coming year said: "Kansas will prob ably have a regular player on our team this year, Francis Willard, a To peka boy, being a very promising looking candidate." Yost will return to Ann Arbor Sept. 19 to get ready for the opening of the season. "Pop-' Gcers Still -Wins 'Em. Hardford, Conn. Sept. 7. Ed (Pop) Geera scored an easy victory over Koan Hal and Sin le G in the two minute pace, the feature event on the grand circuit card Wednesday, winning three heats in slow time. The fastest heat was the first when Na poleon Direct went under the wire in 2:04 H- In the second heat, the win ner did the last half in S9 and the last quarter in 28. SEVEN W. L. PLAYERS HAVE BEEN SOLD TO BIG SHOW A recent bulletin issued by the National Baseball Commission shows that the major leagues have purchased more than 100 young ball players from the minor leagues since the beginning of the 1916 sea son. New talent of quality has been a scarce article everywhere this year but the fact that more than 100 youngsters have been tak en into fast company shows conclu sively that the factories where the raw material is made marketable ore still getting a fair supply of material to work with. Seven youngsters have been told to the big leagues from the West ern league since the opening of the present season. Several other went- ern leaguers are expected to be grabbed off in the annual draft sea son which starts on the 15th of the month. The players who have been sold from the Zehrung loop are: Lambeth, by Topeka to Cleveland: Smith, by Omafia to Chicago Cubs: North, by Omaha to St. Louis Card inals: Mitchell, by Denver to Cin cinnati Reds; Kelleher. by Den ve to Brooklyn Dodders: Kruger and Kildufl. by Omaha to New York Giants: Jourdan, by St. Joe to Chi cago White Sox.

New York, Sept. 7. "Crucial series" is with us again today in both major leagues. Pat Moran's Phillies, who vaulted into the uppermost niche in the Tener circuit, were to stage a doubleheader with the Braves, their hated rivals. In the American league the Tigers and Browns continue their feud, while the battered Red Sox take another joust with Connie Mack's col legians. The Phillies and Braves accom plished the difficult feat of moving while rtanding still Wednesday, for rain kept them from each other's throats while the Giants were divid ing a double bill with the Dodgers. The Phillies are leading by two points over the Dodgers, who are in second place, and the Braves are just a game in the rear. The bitter struggle in the Ameri can league, with Detroit the villain, resembles a finish fight more each day. The Ty Cobbs succeeded in putting a crimp in rielder Jones s highest am bitions for the season when they banked Wednesday conflict, but they must at it again today. The Red Sox, minus the able serv ices of Carrigan, have only the Ath letics with whom to argue. Bill was invited to take a three-day layoff for his run-in with Umpire O'Loughlin. WELSH WANTSMORE NOW So Called Champion Would Go 45 Rounds With White for $26,000. Denver, Col., Sept. 7. That Freddie Welsh does not fear to meet Charlie White over any distance is evidenced by the latest offer of Harry Pollok, manager of Welsh to match the champion against White for a finish fight of "forty-five rounds or more if necessary." Pollok declared the only stipulation they would make would be that Welsh must get the same money for the fight that Willie Ritchie got when he lost the title to Welsh J26.000. Welsh's manager expressed his will ingness to go to South America for the fight or to put it up to "Baron" Long of Los Angeles to stage the match at Tia Juana. HARVARD FOOTBALL DATES.

IKE FAIN MORTGAGE C0 New York, Sept, 7. In the recent trade which sent Fred Merkle, veteran first baseman of the Giants, to the Brooklyn club In exchange for Catcher Lew McCarthy, nothing stands out more prominently than the persever ance of John McGraw, manager of the Giants in making a ball player of Merkle after the latter .had made his famous bonehead play of Sept. 2 3, 1908. It was on that fatal day that Merkle failed to "touch second." Merkle, hooted and hissed by the fans, derHed by sport writers and twitted by rival players, but all the time patted on the back by John Mc Graw, has held his head up all these eight years and has proved to the world that he is a real ball player in spite of his lapse of memory which gave Chicago the National league championship, McGraw's faith in hU young first baseman is entirely respon sible for the fact that Merkle still ia a big league ball player. Not only has McGraw stuck to Merkle in spite of his failure to tpuch second, but. after the 1912 world's series, when Boston won from the Giants thru Merkle's failure to catch an easy foul fly, McGraw again stood by and insisted Merkle was good enough for' him. Fans have howled and laughed at Merkle for those two plays, but always McGraw has stood pat and Merkle has vindicated the judgment of his former chief.

A serious outcome seemed imminent and Mr. Ashurst retracted In a qualified sort of way and went on with his attack on the Republi cans. Curtis on the Floor. The scene was precipitated while the corrupt practices bill was under con sideration. Contrary to the wishes of Democratic and Republican leaders. Senator Owen moved to proceed with this measure after the senate con vened. His motion prevailed by a vote of 32 to 14. Seven Republicans voted to take up the bill and an equal number of Democrats voted against it. After Senator Owen, author of the measure, had explained it. Senator Curtis got the floor He began by expressing doubt as to the sincerity of the Democrats. He said they now had all the money they wanted and had spent $200,000 in one state to elect two senators. 'I would make it a crime to use the stationery of a committee or of the senate for personal purposes and send it out under a senatorial frank," de clared Senator Curtis. He illustrated Hayes Produce Co. PHONE 1944 I EVER TRY TO' STAND STILL? J I real esiaie transfers. "yT 'mr!?-. -SAJT?- what he meant by having read a letter Senator Ashurst sent to his constitu ents. This letter was explanatory of the senator's duties in Washington and was an appeal for support in his cam paign for re-election. Mr. Curtis charged that sending that letter thru the mails was a violation of the franking law. Sweet Breads for Brains. "Oh," retorted Senator Ashurst, as he entered the chamber just in time to hear the statement, "the senator from Kansas must have sweet breads in his head for brains, else he would not make such a charge as that." Mr. Ashurst explained that he had submitted the letter to the postmas ter general, who held it related to public business and was frankable. Senator Curtis retorted that not only the postmaster general, but every member of the cabinet "is stretching the law to re-elect Wilson." Senator Curtis then revamped the now forgotten episode of Senator Ashurst having telegrams charged to the government, altho sent by him to constituents asking them for their couch or the door out. No living thing in the world ever stands still, so how are you going to do it? Von must either go forward or backward. Keep going ahead and you won't flop. views concerning a judicial appoint ment in Arizona then impending. Mr. Ashurst countered by reading copies of telegrams that passed be tween the then Secretary of War Root and William H. Taft as governor gen eral of the Philippines when Root had spent 52 cents a word to cable Taft an inquiry about ahorse Taft had ridden. 'How is the horse, that was the cable sent by this Republican official. 'How is the horse?' shouted Mr. Ashurst and at that moment he started his rush across the chamber that startled dignified senators who for a brief instant believed they were in a midst of a rough and tumble fight. Curtis Only Laughed. "This Pharisee from Kansas laughs at this telegram," ejaculated Mr. As hurst as he saw Mr. Curtis grin, "but he thinks it a crime for me to consult my constituents." "Pharisee." he fairly hissed as he strode back to his own desk. Then Mr. Ashurst took up the sub ject of lobbies at the capitol. "Why don't you refer to the recent copper lobby?" asked Senator Penrose. "That lobby which opposed the tax on copper in the revenue bill, counted on the votes of the senator's col leagues to strike out section 2 of the munitions tax and that action must have endeared them to him still more." "If the senator thinks the copper or any other lobby influenced my vote, he lies," shouted Senator Ashurst. Senator Gallinger. minority leader, arose. The language plainly was un parliamentary. "Take that back," "retract that word," said several Democratic colleagues, who foresaw trouble for Mr. Ashurst. "Does the senator think so?" inter jected Mr. Ashurst. "Does the senator think so?" de manded Mr. Ashurst, glaring at Pen rose. "I don't know," replied Mr. Penrose, with exasperating coolness. "All I can say is that the senator has dis played a suspicious zeal." Then the "debate" drifted into oth er channels. From Luxury to Swabbing necks. Des Moines, la., Sept. 7.
