From the reminiscences of .T. (3. Wood, vet eran Topcka newspaper man. Negotiations which, if they are suc cessful, will materialize the dream of Cyrus K. Holliday, one of the founders of this city and the Santa Fe, are un der way. E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe, In Topeka today to at tend the annual stockholders' meeting of the road, said that negotiations for a route into St. Louis are being made. However, he asserted the plans had not outgrown the negotiation stage and stated he could not officially say whether or not the line would be built. Reports that the Santa Fe has been negotiating with the Burlington for a route into St. Louis, leaving the Chicago-Kansas City line at Carrollton, Mo., and running direct to the former city, have been current in western railroad circles for some time but this is the first time they have received confirmation Irom President Ripley. Should the St. Louis line be built the Santa Fe, fullfilling the expectations of Col. Holllday, will connect St. Louis, Chicago and the Golden Gate. The St. Louis line is the only part of the prophecy yet to be realized. The Ripley Party. President Ripley and his party from Chicago arrived in Topeka at 11 o'clock this morning on a special train. They were met at Kansas City by Fred C. Fox. general manager of the eastern lines with headquarters here. At the station In Topeka they were met by E. L. Copeland, treasurer of the road. In Mr. Ripley's party were E. J. Engel. assistant to the president; A. C. Jobes. director of the road from Merriam, Kan.; Ford Har vey, a heavy stockholder and head of the Harvey eating houses. C. S. Gleed and Howel Jones, directors, are also attending the meeting here today. Stepping from his car as the train drew into the station Mr. Ripley as serted his intentions of walking up town to the general offices. He did. To the officials and others of the party with him he betrayed much interest in the recent improvements along the streets. Speaking of the three additional stories which it was announced Wednesday in the State Journal the Santa Fe will add to its new general office build. ng here, Mr. Ripley said that the additional room would be for the expansion of the departments here. He said he did not know of any plan to .Tiove more departments here. New Building Later. Mr. Ripley said the old building would in time have to be torn down and replaced with a new structure "It is getting old," he said. "Can you say approximately when the old building will be replaced?'' he was asked. "Xo. there Is nothing definite only that it will be done eventually." "One, two, three or four years?" "No, it hasn't been decided when, but in the meantime we must have more room here and that accounts for the three new stories on the new buildinc" Mr. Ripley denied reports that the Santa Fe has immediate plans to build a locomotive works here in connection with the big headquarters shops. He inferred it is cheaper to have the lo comotives built in other works than for the road to build them itself. Speaking of the Adamson law the Santa Fe executive described it hy iContluued on Xwoll A Friend Offers to Marry Girl and Bring Peace. FAMILIES MUST DECLARE TRUGE William Woods, "Good Fellow," Says He Is Willing. Court to Walt on the Assault and Battery Charge. Just to show that he's a good fellow and doesn't mind a little thing like that, William Woods today offered to wed 16-year-old Mary Adams and as sume responsibility for an unborn child, providing that by that act he could square everything up between the Adams and Reed families. He of fered his good services to Hugh Mac Farland, probate judge. The accept ance of the offer is hanging fire. Mary Adams is the girl whose fath er, accompanied by Repps Read, father of 16-year-old Eugene Read, attempted to engineer a wedding be tween Mary and Eugene Tuesday night at the office of J. P. Williams, justice of the peace in Oakland. The personally conducted wedding tour from North Topeka to Oakland, hastened by a gun in the hands of either the elder Adams or the elder Read, was a fizzle. 'Gene Read balked. He declared it would take more money than the banks of To peka held to make him willing to wed Mary Adams. The only tangible re sult of the "wedding" trip was the issuance of a complaint against the elder Read sworn to by Eugene Read, his son, charging him with assault and battery. Young Read shocked county offi cials with his story when he declared that his father. Repps Read, is respon sible for the condition of little Mary Adams and that the father was trying to shoulder the blame onto him. License Is Revoked. Following this charge the Read and Adams families were taken into the probate court Wednesday afternoon. The first official act of Hugh MacFar land, probate judge, was to revoke the marriage license he had issued for Eugene Read and Mary Adams, upon the request of the fathers. Adams was told to bring it to the court house and when he failed to produce it Judge MacFarland told him to let no grass grow under his feet while he was go ing back to North Topeka after it Because of the Vawter-Curran case in the district court the county attor ney's force has been unable to make any further investigation into the charges made by young Eugene Read against his father. The matter will be taken up immediately after the Vaw ter case is concluded. Officials have simply been sitting tight and were wholly unprepared for tho visit of the mysterious Woods today. Woods didn't seem to know much about the Adams or the Read families but he was willing to take a chance. Jl,T 111 se,tIe al th)s trouble," he said, 1 11 marry the girl.

They sell at 7 10 fw 1!Lcents- T1e largest weighs thirty-three ounces before baking The 10 cent loaf remains the same size. The high cost of waxed paper is responsible for the desire to "ditch" the small loaf, the bakers point out, as a 10 cent loaf can be wrapped at iess cost than two fives. CHILD DIES FROM SPUR STAB ORICIOUS COCK Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 26 Audrey Smith, 2-year-old child of Mrs. R. E.

Five chil dren are known to be dead and fifteen others are missing and believed to have lost their lives as the result of a fire which destroyed St. Elizabeth hos pital and laundry during the night. Scores of children were injured by jumping from windows. Three hun dred and fifty Inmates were asleep in the building when the fire broke out e.nd many of these are unaccounted for. Several other dwellings adjacent were badly damaged by water and smoke. About 25 children are lying injured thru Jumping to the stone pavement from the third storv vin- I dows. I Fire Escapes Inadequate. Startling revelations are promised when an investigation Is begun, for the j fire escapes are said to have always proved defective in emergencies and many of the deaths and injuries are attributed to the fact that these ave nues of escape were quickly blocked. The twenty-fice or more children who were injured flung themselves from third story windows to the pave ment below when it was found no Ftairways were available for their de scent. Nearly all inmates of the build ing were sleeping on the third floor. A defective flue is believed to have caus ed the fire. The institution was managed by the Grey nuns and comprised two build ings, one for hospital patients, the oth er for school children. VAUX FALL NEAR French Close In Now Within 500 Yards of Fort. Follow Up Verdun Victory for a Clean Sweep. Paris. Oct. 26. The French troops at Verdun are following up as fast as they can the advantage gained by their sudden forward sweep on Tues day, and according to the latest in formation have closed in to within less than 600 yards of Vaux fort. An nouncement of the capture is mo mentarily expected here, thus com pletely restoring the French line held on February 25. The German forces at Verdun are reacting so slowly and with such apparent lack of strength that, in the opinion of the French military men, they no longer possess a general reserve but are obliged to withdraw men from one section of the front to reinforce another section in case of need. Reports of the casualties which are now in hand show the French losses were very light indeed, considerably less than the number of prisoners taken and a large proportion was of cases in which the men were slightly wounded. Considerable war material was captured. The Germans had massed guns of all calibers in the Ravine of Death, all of which fell into the hands of the French. The three lieutenant generals who, under the command of General Man gin, led the attacking divisions, were all lieutenant colonels at the outbreak of the war and had been singled out by General Joffre for promotion on account of their technical ability, en ergy and initiative.

Ripley FINDS RIGHT GIRL Silver Lake Man Saves Pennies for a Wife. Counts Out 300 for License in Topeka Today. "One, two, three, fonr counted Harry Tibbs of Silver Lake, shoving pennies across the desk of the mar riage license clerk in the office of the probate judge. "Five, six, seven, eight," he con tinued. "What's the idea?" asked the clerk. "I'm going to pay you for the wed ding license," said Tibbs. "If I count ed correctly at home there are three hundred pennies here that's the price isn't it three dollars? I've been saving out my pennies for years with the idea of using them to pay for a license when I found the right girl. I've found her and here are the pennies." His first count was correct. Tibbs had $3 in pennies. The "right girl" is Dora Howell, also of Silver L,ake. She is 21 years of age and he is 23. T. R. ISJOR IT Declares for Woman's Vote in Chicago Today. Stockyards Speech in Wilson's Wake Tonight. Aboard Roosevelt Train, Cedar Rap ids. Ia., Oct. 26. This was Colonel Roosevelt's first stop today as he sped to Chicago for the two big speeches that will end his western speaking dates. He had only time for a platform appearance here. He planned to say "howdy," shake hands and perhaps make very brief talks at all division stops today, until he reaches Chicago, at 2 p. m. At Chi cago the colonel will confer with Al vin T. Hcrt .Chicago middle western manager for the Republicans, and then rest for an hour before going to tho Auditorium to address the big women's meeting at 4 o'clock. He will spend the night in Chicago. At the afternoon meeting, Roosevelt Intends to repeat in great part the speech he delivered to the women in Denver, Tuesday, when he declared unequivo cally for a federal amendment enfran chising women. At tonight's meet ing at the stock yards pavilion the colonel plans to denounce the Adam son law. When Roosevelt Was a Sheriff. The colonel had another reminder of his old days when his train stopped at Julesburg, Colo. As Roosevelt fin ished telling an oft-told anecdote of his plains days when he was a sheriff a man in the crowd spoke up: "I'm the sheriff here, colonel," and he turned back his coat to show a soup plats badge. "I'm Sheriff Humber stone." Roosevelt Just then was told the name of the town. He had been sent down there, he said, about thirty years ago as a deputy by "Hell Roar ing" Bill Jones, the sheriff, after some horse thieves. "I got my man too," he said, "be cause I wasn't too proud to fight." "Not Looking for Fight, But Clinton, la.. Oct. 28. Speaking from the rear platform of his train here to day, Col. Theodore Roosevelt compli mented Iowa as a state of "intense Americanism" where men and women "are willing to encounter risks and make an effort for their convictions." "I don't want a fight." he contin ued. "I will do everything possible to keep out of a fight, but I don't be lieve in hitting softly. When you've got to hit a man, knock him out." No "50-50 Brand" for Teddy. Aboard the Roosevelt train, De Kalb, 111.. Oct. 26. Colonel Roosevelt exhibited less and less desire to pussy foot on the American issue as he near ed Chicago today. "Here is the home state of Lincoln," he told audiences that numbered a thousand each at Sterling, Dixon and here. "I come to preach straight out Americanism, not the fifty-fifty brand. I want no English, French nor Ger man Americanism. If any man has any loyalty at all to any other country whatever but the United States, let him get out of this country." of Santa Fe Railway. WHY SPJJDJREAD! Oh, Beefsteak, Where Art Thou! Cries Benson. Socialist Blames Administra tion for Stripping Nation. Elm City, Okla., Oct. 26. "The de partment of agriculture." said Allan L. Benson, socialist candidate for presi dent, who spoke here last night, "is sending out circulars advisl-.g people to eat bread made of three parts of potato flour and two parts of wheat flour. That seems to be the adminis tration's way of meeting the bread sit uation after we have raised enough wheat to make wheat bread. The po tato bread situation, at least, has the merit that it would not interfere with the profits of the exporters who are stripping our country of wheat. But do the American people ever gain any thing by accepting a reduced standard of living? Demands Embargo as Solution. "About ten years ago Mr. James Wilson, then secretary of the depart ment of agriculture issued bulletins to housewives telling them how by cook ing round steak well, it could be made eatable. That was Secretary Wilson's solution of the- problem of the high cost of sirloin steak. The result of this advice has been that whereas before the price of round steak was ten cents a pound, it is now the same price as sirloin twenty-five cents a pound or more. The beef trust is the only bene ficiary of his advice. The people are now eating round steak at sirloin prices. "An embargo on all food exports of course would keep America's food for America and bring down food prices, but it would also bring down export ers' profits, wherefore, the American people are told the eat potato bread." TRAP RUMANIANS Only Portion of Dobmdja Army Cross Danube. French and Serbs Adrance in Macedonia Campaign. Berlin, via wireless to Sayville, Oct. 26. Part of the Russo-Rumanian force in Dobrudja escaped into Old Rumania by fleeing: across the Cerna voda bridge before the town was cap tured by Mackensen, the military critic of the semi-official news agency reported today.

Lays Bare Her Soul Seeking Jury's Sympathy. UNWELCOME EMBRACE FATAL Admits Shooting Him Down as He Entered Bedroom. Mother of Six Unfolds Details of Shattered Romance. Newark. N. J., Oct. 26. Flushing deeply and with eyes downcast to es cape the stares of a curious court room crowd, Mrs. Margaret Beutinger today told in dramatic fashion why she shot and killed her husband, Christopher Beutinger, a wealthy coal broker, after he had forced his way into her bedroom. "He was a most brutal man when amorous," she testified. "From the time I married him until the night I shct him, he continually made de mands upon me that were impossible for me to fulfill. "When I refused he would threaten tc kill me." The jurors cast sympathetic glances at the pretty little woman in the wit ness box as she continued her story. Weighed 280 Pounds. "He was built like Jack Johnson," she continued. "He was a huge man physically. He weighed about 280 pounds and of course I was afraid of him." Frequently Mrs. Beutinger paused in her recital to snd a reassuring smile to her five little children, the white haired little Billy Beutinger, chewing gum vigorously, and his pretty little sisters, grouped about her sister, Mrs. Herron, a few feet from the witness chair. Prompted by Attorney McCarer, the woman on trial for her life gave the jury a story of a married life full of horror from the time when she left her home on the Island of Ja maica to marry Beutinger, then a quartermaster's clerk in the war de partment at Washington. "He beat me when we were In Washington," she said. "En route to the Philippines we stopped in Chi cago. He made me get out of bed one night there because my physical condition made it impossible for me to yield to him. Government Contractor. "In the Philippines he was very nasty. He gambled and drank. Once to protect myself, I threatened to ex pose him. He was making money on government contracts. His reply then was: 'I'll kill you "When I had my first baby in the Philippines, he ordered me away. I was so happy that I went to Hong Kong to live with a missionary s fam ily. Then I went to San Francisco. but when my iunas ran out I went back to the Philippines. For a while we lived in Jamaica, then back to the Philippines, where he threatened me with a razor. Then we went to At lanta and finally to Boston. Wher ever he was with me he subjected me to horrible cruelties. In spite of these things I clung to him for the sake of the children. When he became in volved in difficulties I went to Wash ington and saw Secretary of War Gar rison." Before Gaping Court Room. Newark, N. J., Oct. 26.

DELEGATION AT THE STATION Reception Committee for the Hughes Adherents. Well Known Women of Nation Will Be Here. Hair pulling and eye scratching will play no part in the program of Demo crat women in Topeka tomorrow, when the female celebrities from the east come to Topeka, in their special train, to talk national politics, for the purpose of aiding in the election of Charles Evans Hughes. Instead, the Democrat women declare their wel come will be warmer, at heart, and as warm on the surface as that of the Re publican women who are preparing for proper entertainment of the noted suf fragists from the east. A delegation from the Women's Wilson league and the Pocahontas club will meet the eastern women at the Rock Island depot and aid in es corting them to the city auditorium and to Washburn college. They ex pect to get the mayor's key to the city and turn it over to the visiting women and urge upon them to talk as much as they please. "We want those rich women from the eastern states to come to Kansas and tell the women how to vote, saia a Democrat of the fair ge today. "You know they haven't even startea to get suffrage in their states and yet come to Kansas and tell the women now 10 work Dolltics and how to stand on na tional issues. There is nothing that will make the Democrats more votes than the visit of these wealthy women from the east." Prominent Democrat women who will act as a part of a reception com mittee for the Hughes adherents are: Mrs. W. A. Harris of Lawrence, presi dent Women's Wilson club: Mrs. P. Brittan, Mrs. W. S. Logan, president Pocahontas club: Mrs. M. L. Bishop, Dr. Lillian Malone and Grace Over myer. The Hughes special will arrive at the Rock Island station at 10:45 o'clock. A reception committee of To peka women will meet the visitors and escort them in automobiles to the auditorium, where an informal recep tion will be held, followed by a wel coming address probably by Mrs. W. A. McCarter and Charles H. Sessions, state chairman of the Republican cen tral committee. A number of selec tions will be rendered on the pipe or gan by Mrs. Azra Clark. Speeches by the various members of the party will be given until 1 o clock. The principal speakers will be Mrs. Raymond Robins and Mary Antin.

At Least They May Not Be Mustered Out for Weeks. That the First and Second regiments of the Kansas National Guard may not be mustered out for weeks and that they may even be returned to the bor der, was hinted here today by a Kan sas military man who asked that his name not be used. "I will not be surprised if an order is Issued from Washington delaying the mustering out of the Kansas troops," the United Press informant said. "Bor der conditions are such that the two crack Kansas regiments may be need ed again, and in such an event a mob ilization of Kansas guards would be necessary unless mustering out is de layed." It had been planned to muster out the First Regiment Monday and the Second Regiment the first or second week in November. The Second ar rived at Fort Riley from San Antonio this afternoon. The First arrived two weeks ago. The Second Kansas, which left its station in Texas for home last Tues day, was expected to arrive at Fort Riley this afternoon, in three sections. According to word received here the troops will go into quarters at the reg ular army post instead of being en camped in tents on Pawnee Flats. Further word received here is to the effect that Battery A of Topeka, t will be mustered out in a short time. It is understood, by the boys in camp, that they wiil not be taken to Fort Riley to be mustered out; that this will be done at Eagle Pass and they will come direct to Topeka from the border. Adjutant General Martin is at Fort Riley today. Deny It in Chicago. Chicago. 111.. Oct. 26. General Barry, commanding the western divi sion United States army, this after noon denied a report that the First and Second Kansas regiments would not be mustered out for several weeks. "The First Kansas regiment will be mustered out at once and the Second, now on its way from San Antonio, will be mustered out as soon as it arrives at Fort Riley."

M.t Oct. 2 6. Villa bandits operating near Namlquipa, only twenty-five miles south of th American expedition's southern out post, have demanded the shortening of the American troop line and gradual evacuation of Mexican territory by th United States army, Americans com ing to the borc.er from Mexico report. Move to U. S. for Safety. Washington, Oct 26. Official re ports received here showing that mem bers of the Carranza. Obregon. Tre- vino, Huerta and Madero families ar now in San Antonio. Tex., have pux- zled observers seeking an explanation of the gathering in the United States of non-combatant Mexicans. The re ports do not explain their presence. The state department has not re ceived so far as known any official reports bearing out the changes of General Carranza's political enemies that his grip is relaxing and that h is preparing to leave Mexico. It is agreed in official circles that the mil itary situation in Chihuahua state has been made highly uncertain by re newed bandit activities. Despite per sistency of reports that Villa is per sonally leading his men aglnt the) Carranza garrison at Chihuahua City, neither the state nor war departments ha3 received convincing reports thai he is alive. Military experts are frankly pessi mistic of the result of the Carranza, campaign against these bandits. It is known that the weakness of the Mex ican forces has been strongly present ed to the American-Mexican commis sioners. To minds of American army officers it represents a serious obstacle to the present restoration of order in northern Mexico. FLOUR ON JUMP Advance of 40 Cents a Hundred in Week Here. Wheat Still Going Up and End Is Not Yet. Flour prices have Jumped so oftn on the Topeka market that It Is hard to keep account of them, according to J. B. Billard, a prominent mill oper ator. The increase, Mr. Billard stated this morning, has been about 49 cents a hundred in the last week. On the retail market flour is selling at $2.30 to $2.50 a 48-pound sack, and the Increase has amounted to 30 cents in a week. Wholesale prices today were from $4.30 to $4.60 a hundred. Mr. Billard this morning declined to make a prediction on the price of flour. 'I coul not venture a guess on the price it may reach, and wit Ik wheat stilt rising it is impossible to set a limit." said Mr Billard.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 1916 BOOTH SUSTAINS JUDGE FLANNELLY ON EVERY POINT Federal Court Endorses All of His Gas Rulings. Upholds Every Action of Re ceiver John M. Landon. THE SUIT WILL CONTINUE Every Effort at Agreement So Far Has Failed. Keeognizes Right of Receiver to 3Iake Xew Rates. Kansas City. Oct. 26. The complete and triumphant vindication of Judge Thomas J. Flannelly in his judicial orders, as well as his administration of the affairs of the Kansas Natural Gas company in receivership was the out standing feature of the hearing of the fjas controversy before Judge Wilbur F. Booth of the federal court Wednes day. In an opinion handed down from tha bench Judge Booth sustained every act and order of Judge Flan nelly and concurred without reserva tion in the details of the management under Judge Flannelly's receiver, John M. Landon. The statement came upon the con vening of court at 3 o'clock in the aft ernoon after ineffectual attempts had been made by the attorneys on both Rides to agree upon a plan of arbitra tion to submit to the court. The ef fect of Judge Booth's decision was to refuse all motions to dismiss the case and discharge the receiver. He re tained full jurisdiction of all the prop v erty and interests in the controversy 4 and upheld the right of the receiver I to establish new rates for gas under 1 the order of Judge Flannelly. J. Judge Flannelly held that the fran chises and contracts that had been made with the Kansas Natural Gas company were not binding upon the receiver. Booth also held that Judge Flannelly being the court administer- ing the property had the right and -5 power to make the order and Judge -Booth said he would respect it and see that others respected it also. The injunction against interference with the new rates or the action of Receiver Landon is continued until a -final disposition of the case in the fed l erai court. I Suit Will Go On. It was evident that Judge Booth was greatly disappointed that an agree- ment to arbitrate the matters in con troversy had not been reached. He was not without hope, however, that I something might yet be done along this line, and altho he orders the con itinuaitrm of the suit, he expressed a desire that the attorneys make a fur- ther effort at reaching an agreement. The attorneys in the conference met at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning and resumed their discussion. The prin cipal feature of that discussion was a statement by W. E. Ziegler, represent ing the Coffeyville Gas and Fuel com puny, who expressed the prevailing sentiments of cities and distributing companies toward the court's sugges tion of arbitration by saying that he was willing to submit all matters of controversy and all matters in dispute, direct or indirect, to Judge Booth without any qualification or reserva tion. Mr. Ziegler, who is the oldest practitioner at the Montgomery coun ty bar, took occasion to express him (self in regard to the slanderous utter ances that have been made against Judge Flannelly recently. Tribute to Flannelly. Mr. Ziegler said: "In this connec tion I want to say that I do not feel justified in letting go unchallenged ,the malicious, unwarranted and inex cusable accusations which were made during some of the conferences against Judge Flannelly, even tho they were mafic by parties who have appeared in these conferences for the first time now, and who practically are strang ers to Judge FlanneHy. The lawyers of the Montgomery county bar, three f whom are present here do not pro pose to countenance such charges or fallow them to go uncontradicted, have practiced law before Judfee Flannelly for fifteen years and, while I have not always agreed with him nor h with me, from my experience .1 know him to be a lawyer and judge of extraordinary ability and efficiency. And in this entire matter I know that from the beginning he has acted in good faith, sincerity and honesty and with the sole purpose of serving the best interests in controversy." Plans for Agreemeut. In accordance with instructions the attorneys for the receiver submitted a tentative plan of agreement to the conference. It contemplated the dis charge of the receiver at such time as Judge Booth might designate. It also suggested that the court ascer tain the quantity of gas available for distribution and otner factors relating to the supply. It asked the court to IF T Underwear 624 Kansas Ave. PERFECT AS A PIANO Kimba TOPEKA FACTORY UKANCII STORE determine rates and asked the court to rule upon the validity of all con tracts, franchises and ordinances and to establish the rights of all parties under the creditors agreement. City Counselor Harzfeld of Kansas City,- Mo., also submitted a plan simi lar in some respects to the other, hut it was considered objectionable large ly because it called for a delay of at least four months in the settlement of the controversy, while a new group of engineers and experts make an ex amination of the gas fields and pipe line facilities. Both of these pro posals were read to Judge Booth, who took no action upon them. He mere ly announced that the original suit would continue and the case stands for final hearing. The first matter that will be gone into will concern the division of the 2 8-cent rate as established by the Kansas utilities commission. It was indicated that if the 28-cent rate is to stand then the receiver must get more than two-thirds in order that he may be compensated. If he can not get more than two-thirds, it will then be necessary finally to establish such a rate as will yield a compensa tion upon a two-thirds division for the receiver. 500 RAIDS IN A DAY Teuton Flyers Had 209 Combats and Bombed Munition Plants. Berlin, Oct. 26, via wireless to Say ville. German aeroplanes on the Somme front alone made more than 500 raids Sunday, taking advantage of the fine weather, it was semi-officially announced. In 209 air fights on the Somme front alone, sixteen enemy planes were shot down and a number forced to land behind their own lines. German fliers attacked camps of troops and columns with bombs and machine guns and took hostile trench es under machine gun fire, flying low. German air squadrons dropped sev eral tons of bombs on Longevue, near Amiens, ammunition depots at Cerisy and Marcelleve and the camp at Bray-on-Somme.

FLEEING ARMY BLOWS UP BIG DANUBE BRIDGE Famous Structure Is Longest (10.5 Miles) in All Europe. Teutons ?fow Possess Constan za Railroad and Bridgehead. DIVIDED RETREATING ARMY Large Portion Captured; Part Got Across Bridge. CernaToda Bridge Spans Kiyew and Swampy Region. Berlin, via wireless to Sayville, Oct 26. "Rumanian troops have blown up the large bridge over the Dan ube at Carnavado," said an official statement from the war office this afternoon announcing further prog ress from Mackensen's armies in Do brudja and new advances against the Rumanians on the Transylvanian front. London, Oct. 26. Rumanian troops blew up the Cernavoda bridge, the greatest In Europe, following the evacuation of the city, said a Rome wireless dispatch today quoting a Bucharest dispatch received there. The Cannavoda bridge was built in 1S96 at a cost of seven million dollars ard Is the only bridge across the Dan ube, both ends of which rest on Ru manian soil. It spans the Danube and adiacent marshes and is 10.5 miles long. The Constanza-Bucharest rail way crosses the structure. Berlin, Oct. 26. By wireless to Say ville. "The capture of Tchernavoda by Field Marshal Von Mackensen's army has definitely turned the mili tary situation in Dobrudja In our fa vor," writes the military critics of the Overseas agency. "The right wing of the combined Bulgarian, German and Turkish force marched on after the taking of Constanza and in a power ful push advanced twenty kilometres, (about 12 miles) beyond that place. From that moment the capture of Medjidie was only a question of a few hours, as the town was threatened on the flank. The Russo-Rumanian position thus being rolled up from the east the western point of support on the Danube the town of Rasova also had to be given up. "With this situation brought about, the attacking Teutonic allies stood be fore the strong Danube bridge head of the Tchernavoda, which then had to serve as a cover for the hasty retreat of the defeated Russians and Ruman ians. Constanza, New Strategic Base. "Today the railroad line from Con stanza to Tchernavoda is completely in the hands of the victorious allies constituting with the valuable mate rial in locomotives and railroad cars taken with it, a first class base for strategic operations. All this mate rial was abandoned by the fleeing Russians and Rumanians. The de feated army was separated into two parts. Those who did not remain on the battle field or were not taken prisoner, saved themselves by flight across the Tchernavoda bridge over the DanuDe or to the northward in Dobrudia. "After the capture of Tchernavoda this famous Danube bridge was domi nated by Von Machensen's guns. The bridge is the largest in all Europe. its total length across both branches of the Danube and the swampy and irequently impassable terrain traver sed being seventeen kilometres (about 10.5 miles). It was completed in 1896. Seize Carpathian Passes, Too. "With the loss of the Constanza Tchernavoda line by Rumania, the transport of provisions from Russia will have to be conducted over two minor and less efficiently equipped railway lines in Moldovia or by way of the Danube ports of Galatz and Ibraila, which are by no means com parative to Constanza. At this time the most important route for artillery transportation, by way of the railway from Constanza to Bucharest, is vir tually eliminated. All shipments must go by way of Ibralia and Polesci. "The military situation for the Ru manians during the past two days has become much more critical, especially as the Germans and Austro-Hungar-ians already have partially conquered the Carpathian passes." PROF. DENIES "CHARGE Heil Didn't Write "Poison Pen" Mis sives He Declares. Chicago, Oct. 26. John Heil, former principal of the Morgan Park high school, whose resignation was obtained by President Loeb of the Chicago board of education following charges that he had written defamatory letters to and concerning Mrs. Marie Moore, a former teacher, returned to Chicago early today. He immediately issued .i statement in which he made a general denial of the charges. Heil resigned in President Loeb's office last Saturday night after a stormy meeting. His resignation was formally accepted by the board of edu- cation yesterday. RETIRES COP SQUAD Indicted Chief of Police Offers "Hand Picked" to Replace Hoyne's Helpers. Chicago, Oct. 26.

"Has any plan been worked out by which the roads will combat the law he was asked. "No, other than it will probably be a matter of individual action.

It is understood in railroad circles that the roads in receivership will ap peal to the courts for the exact mean ing of the law. Mr. Ripley asserted t has "teen put thru by a man who d'.d not know anything about what h'-: was do ng." The matter will probably be taken up individually and in diff1!. ent ways in different parts of the country, Mr. Ripley said. Mr. Ripley denied a combined ef fort on the part of corporations to elect Hughes, that is, in so far as the railroads are concerned. "I do not know anything about what corporations other than the railroads are doing," he said, "but the railroads are strictly non-partisan in the cam paign. They are not even lenuine either candidate their moral support. "There have been charges," he was reminded, "that the corporations are spending millions to elect Hughes." "Such a thing is out of the ques tion. It is against the law for cor porations to spend money in a po litical campaign. They couldn't do it if they wanted to," he replied. The Santa Fe president refused to make any personal forecast on the out come of the election. Will Be No Landslide. "It's not going to be a landslide either way either for Wilson or Hughes. That's my opinion," he said. The Santa Fe executive asserted that the business of the railroads is good, that 'it is unusually brisk." "Do you believe it a healthy busi ness do you think it will continue?" "fso, the unusual volume of business being done by American railroads is due largely to the war." "At present," he said, "conditions over the Santa Fe system and the vol ume of business the road is doing is unusually good." Mr. Ripley expressed considerable surprise that a rumor to the effect that he was about to retire had not preceded him in Topeka. This is the first stockholders' meeting he has at tended for several years whereat he wasn't forced to deny printed reports that he would retire from active rail road service. Re-election of Directors. Andrew C. Jobes, Merriam, Kan.; Homer A. Stillwell, Chicago; Henry C. Frick, Pittsburg, Pa., and Edward J.

Everything coming before the meet ing for ratification went thru without opposition as forecast. Prominent stockholders, financiers and officials from several parts of the country were in the city to attend the meeting, which opened at noon in Mr. Cope land's office and was completed at 2 o'clock. President E. P. Ripley at tended. Acquisition of the Crosbyton-South-plains railroad, running between Lub bock and Crosbyton, Tex., a distance of 38.45 miles, was ratified, as was the acquisition of the Laton West ern railway, running between Laton and Riverdale, Cal., a distance of 17.57 miles. The owners of the capi tal stock of the latter road have turned it over to the Santa Fe to se cure future operation of the road. One-half interest in the Oil City branch of the Southern Pacific in Cal ifornia was acquired for the sum of $168,794. The interest in the line was purchased in order to gain ac cess to the rich Kern county oil fields, where the company has considerable property from which it is drawing fuel oil. The company now owns the in debtedness of the Dodge City Cimar ron Valley railway in Kansas and the road has been leased for the sake of convenience and economy in opera tion. The lease was ratified in the meeting today. Ratification of Expenditure. Ratification of the use of $4,800,000 of Atchison preferred stock, deposited with the Union Trust company for ex penditures and improvements made prior and subsequent to October 26, 1911, was also made. The previous terms of the directors re-elected today, expired at noon. Their re-election was without opposi tion. The independent auditing com pany elected is tne same one that held tho contract last year. Among those attending the meeting today was W. H. Diehl, transfer agent for the Santa Fe in New York. Mr. Diehl asserted that considerable of tho Santa Fe stock held in Europe has been sold since the beginning of the war and has been bought up in this country. There are 43,619 stockholders in the company. Of those, 17,126 hold pre ferred stock and 26,493 hold common stock. There is a decrease of 250 number of holders of preferred stock compared with last year. That is caused, it is said, by several hundred individual stockholders in Europe selling and the stock's being bought up by fewer individuals in this coun try. However, the number of holders of common stock shows a gain of 1, 128 over last year. Leaves at 5 O'clock. After opening the polls at the stock holders' meeting President Ripley and his party went to the Topeka club for luncheon. Mr. Ripley stated he was unable to say whether or not he would inspect the shops this afternoon, but said he would if he could find time. He leaves at 5 o'clock this af ternoon for Chicago.

Villistas" ac tivity near Chihuahua had the effect today of convincing officials here that no thought should be given soon to removal of guardsmen from border patrol duty or withdrawal of General Pershing's column from Mexico. Fear was felt that if Villa should succeed in his apparent movement to capture Chihuahua, he might find it easy to get control later of nearly all northern Mexico. The entire Mexican situation was regarded as more serious than for many months. Conditions at Chihuahua were the subject of great conflicting reports. Mexican Ambassador Arredondo re ceived from Consul Garcia at El Paso a denial of General Trevino, Carranza commander at Chihuahua, that he was short of ammunition or intended to evacuate the city. Carranza losses in the fight with Villistas at Santa Ysabel had been slight, he said, and 8,000 troops had arrived to reinforce the garrison. War department reports, however, were that Villa was en camped five miles from Chihuahua with a considerable force after defeat ing Carranza troops severely and that Trevino was ready to abandon the city.

For as the women go, so may the nation. They may swing Illinois with its twen ty-nine votes and the twelve suffrage states have a total of ninety-one elec toral votes. That is why the woman voter will not trip unnoticed to the polls this year. Hundreds of party workers and thousands of dollars are being poured out in a feverish bid for her vote At western campaign head quarters of both parties here the wom en's "bureaus, Mrs. George Bass at the Democratic and Miss Harriet E.

Theodore Roosevelt will speak at a women's rally here today and is ex pected by Republicans to offset the effect of President Wilson's speech to women here last week.

BRUTAL CONDUCT IContlnued from Page One.) was telling down to the last details the story of her life with Christopher Beutinger, the man she slew to escape his embraces It was a sordid story, as already outlined to the jury. It pictured her strapping six-foot husband as a lust ful brute, a man untrue to his mar riage vows, a quarrelsome, threaten ing creature who made her life a bur den. The roses had gone from her cheeks and her eyes were ringed. She hesitated at the glare of publicity be fore a throng of morbidly curious "murder fans." She had wedded Beutinger ten years ago, when she was only a slip of a girl and he a man grown fifteen or more years her senior. He had fas cinated her the winsome little Jamaica girl who had never known the world. And they had traveled afar, even- going for a time to the Philippinea. But she learned sorrow fully that Beutinger was a drunkard, a man of violent lust, whose excessive indulgences extended even to the serv ants in the home. She had been forced to get a man and his wife as servants because of his attentions to the single women. Got Divorce, Then Made Up. Often, it was said, he was abusive. He had even threatened her life. Then she had decided, despite her children and the ban of the Catholic church on divorce, that she must be separated from Beutinger. So she gained a divorce, only to return to him on his promises before a mother su perior that he would reform. But the reform was shortlived. Quarrels started again. She had borne him six children in their nine years of married life and was about to become a moth er again. An operation robbed her of motherhood, however. She then returned home, ill and weak. Her husband dwelt apart from her but on the night of the killing he entered her chamber after she had had her children say their prayers and tucked them in bed. He tried to force unwelcome attentions upon her, de spite her physical condition. She re buffed him, threatening to get a di vorce. Then, according to the de fense, he had repeated threats against her life. Expects Quick Acquittal. Finally, when he entered for the last time, with eyes flaming and ap proached her bed she flashed a pistol and fired until It was empty. Chris topher Beutinger lay crumpled at the foot of the bed while -the woman sobbed hysterically; "He won't bother me any more." The trial proceeded so rapidly that the defense expected to complete its work today or tomorrow and get a quick acquittal. BATTLE TUBERCULOSIS Physicians of Three States Compare Xotes at Kansas City.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS Chicago, Oct. 2a WHEAT Rains in Argentina gave an advantage today to the bears in wheat. Although the consequent break In prices was the signal for renewed buying, which caused a sharp upturn in the market the strength failed to last. Opening prices, which ranged from the same as yesterday's finish to lc lower, with December and May both at $1.79 to $1.80, were followed by a little further sag, then a temporary bulge with a subsequent fresh setback. Bear aggressiveness increased later. Just before the close, however, liberal export business ws reported and a quick rally ensued. The finish was unsettled at the same as yesterday's latest figures to .c higher, with December at $1.80 to $1.S0 and Mnv at $1.80 to $1.804. CORN Corn weakened with wheat.

Halloween Party at the "Sign of the Pumpkin." Kansas avenue business men are pretty well divided on the question of presidential preference. An Informal poll, taken this morning, seems to In dicate that Hughes has the advantage. Another straw vote taken tomorrow might reveal Wilson as the winner. Many of the November voters Inter viewed are battling with an honest perplexity. None of the h n sin ess men refused to tell his state of mind, for ne was given the assurance that no names would be mentioned. Here is the result of the poll, by business houses: Hardware, Hughes 2; shoemaker, Wilson 1; jewelry, Hughes 2; grocery, Wilson 2; real es tate, Wilson, 1; grocery, Hughes 2, Wilson 1; creamtry, Wilson 1; seed and produce dealer, Wilson 1; printer, Wilson 1; wall paper, Hughes 2; fur niture, Hughes 1; grocery, Hughes 3; guns, Wilson 1; wall paper, Hughes 2; grocery, Hughes 1, Wilson 3; coal, Wilson 2; bank, Hughes 6; drug store, Hughes 1; harness, Wilson 1. Sum mary: Hughes 21, Wilson 15. "You know I'm undecided never was before in an election," declared a cigar maker, reprerentative of one wing of sentiment. "1 said right along before he was nominated that I was for Hughes. Since he's come out against what he calls 'peace without honor,' I'm Incltned to believe he'd get us into war. I'd rather be a live coward than a' dead hero. The man who talks war to me is not my friend. That's why I'm doubtful." The Buds of Promise will give a masauera.de hnlinwoAn v I"' y n.

Swayze, county clerk, has compiled a complete set of instructions for Shawnee county election board's. The instructions will be sent out to the judges and clerks of the November election. One point Mr. Swayze emphasizes is the fact that there is no "supervisor" upon an election board. Kach elec tion board, he says, is its own super visor. The polls will open in Topeka at 6 a. m. and close at 7 p. m. In the country precincts they will open at 8 a. m. and close at 6 p. m. Following are the instructions the county clerk has prepared for- the guidance of the judges and clerks at the coming election: (Paragraph numbers have reference to the election laws before you.) Organize your board: Before the polls can be declared opened, the board must be organized. The judges select one of their number to have charge of the ballots, mark them, and issue them to voters; another to check the registry list. (Par. 171, page 68.) Returning judge not supervisor: The law does not provide for a "su pervisor." A returning judge has al ready been designated by the mayor or trustees for each precinct. He is paid for the extra duties as such, but is not necessarily "supervisor." Vacancy on board: Should any reg ularly appointed judge or clerk fail to appear before time for opening the polls (6 a. m. in Topeka, and 8 a. m. outside the city) the electors present fill the vacancy by viva voce election. (Par. 171 and 135.) Post instruction cards, etc.: See that instruction cards are posted in all booths and about the polls, that lights are provided in the booths, and that &11 is in readiness for the legal and con venient conduct of the election before receiving votes. (Par. 170.) Opening the polls: Don't declare the polls opened ror start the voting until you have completed your organ ization. Open the ballot boxes, ex pose the interiors to the electors as sembled, turn them upside down to empty them completely, and then se curely lock them. (Par. 139.) Honrs for voting: The hours for voting in the city of Topeka are from 6 a. m. to 7 p. m.; outside the city, 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. Swear in Judges and clerks:. If all members of the board has not sub scribed to the oath in the poll books, this must be done before" the board is a legal body. A judge who has been sworn in may administer the oath. When in doubt, consult the laws: The latest and complete election laws are provided by the county clerk. Post yourselves. The very full index makes reference easy. This law pamphlet must be returned to the county clerk with the ballots. (Par. 137.) The counting board: In precincts having 250 or more votes double elec tion boards are required. The count ing board comes on four hours after the polls open. The receiving board has entire and complete control of the election in all details, except the as sistance in counting. (Par. 135-142.) Absent voters: Any Kansas voter temporarily in Shawnee county may vote nt the nearest precinct by sub scribing to absent voter's affidavit, and 'being sworn by the Judge of elec tions. Such ballot must not be strung nor counted on the poll book, but sealed in an envelope provided, and that envelope enclosed in an outer envelope addressed to the county clerk. (Par 191-5, pages 80-81.) Certificates of votes cast: Three certificates of votes cast must be filled out and signed by all the Judges and clerks. One of these goes to the coun ty clerk, one to each of the chairmen of the dominating political (Repub lican and Democratic) committees. John T. Chaney, Republican, and F. E Whitney, Democratic. (Par. 172.) Fees of Judges and clerke: All Judges and clerks receive J3.00 for the first 200 votes cast, or any number less than 200, and one cent per vote for all in excess of that number. The re turning Judge receives J1.00 and five cents per mile each way for making return of ballots, etc. (Par. 13S and 188.) Public schools may be used: In all cases where it is not otherwise practicable outside of cities elections may be held in public school houses, and all damages to buildings or furni ture shall be a just charge against the township. (Par. 13 8.) A'erify your totals: Be sure the to tals of tallies are correctly filled in and that all the clerks' books agree before signing the certificates. Manner of voting: The duties re garding receiving and counting of votes are fully set out in paragraphs 175 to 186, pages 72 to 78. Read carefully. Use blotters: There is no excuse for the splatter work on the poll books that deface the tallies and figures. Don't smear your books, but use blot ters. The poll book is meant to be a record, not an illegible scrawl. Additional ballots: Fill out blank requistiion should you need additional ballots, and phone the county clerk (256). A messenger will be sent at once with the ballots. Hand him the requisition, properly signed. Mark your envelopes: Every en velope furnished is plainly printed or marked for its contents. See that the number of ballots each contains is written on the outside. This will fa cilitate the making of your claim by the county clerk, and balancing your ballot accounts. The board is supreme: The elec tion boards are in complete authority, and can regulate the conduct of the election as the law provides, and see P Scientific Cleaning J D and Finishing of FURS FEATHERS HATS Garments and Fabrics of All Kinds.

New York, Oct. 26. Hughes back ers sent $75,000 to the curb Wednes day and for a little time they length ened the odds again. The whole amount was placed at 10 to 9. There are many takers. A little later a Wilson enthusiast came forward with J25.000 and even money became the rule. When this amount was taken another Wilson supporter offered $5,000 at even money. This was taken as soon as it was offered. A Chicago stock house wired $10, 000 to be placed against $9,500 of Wil son money. Then a Boston firm of fered $1,000 at even money. The Bos ton house took the Hughes end. Arthur Lipper, acting for one of his customers, placed $5,000 against $7, 500 that Hughes would carry New York state by 100,000. There was some other betting on the state result at 10 to 7 in favor of Hughes. One curb firm announced that it had placed $10,000 to bet in whole or in part on even terms that Wilson would carry Ohio. .Wctfioitit L "",1U" I I Jill U I'M-II.

Dr. Abbott was the imme diate center of attention. His body quivered with emotion. "I have taken the drug for 35 years," he continued, "during all that time I have practiced medicine. I was formerly a practicing physician in Brooklyn, but am now in California.- I have taken thirteen cures, one of them the instantaneous cut-off. "To show you that morphine Is not necessarily deleterious. I stand here before you, 75 years old. "I am a morphine addict but I have never done a thing I am ashamed of. "It is most mortifying to me to make this confession, but I do it for the sake of millions like me who want broadminded legislation. I want laws which will not make It Impos sible for a man to get what he needs." As he sat down. Dr. Abbott was vig orously applauded. Pope Donics Ieaoe Rnmor. Rome, Oct. 26.

This would seem to be plain enough talk to let the most fastidious of the feyphenates know where he stands. Charles E. Hughes, the Republican presidential candidate, told a New "York audience, composed chiefly of ritizens of alien antecedents, that he did not want the support "of any one ho has any Interest superior to that cf the United States, who would not lr.stantly champion the right and In terest of America against any country T.hatever, who wants immunity for '.foreign aggression, or who would have Ithe power of this nation held captive to any foreign influence or served by alien machinations." No mistaking it, the French In the Verdun region put up as vigorous as it was a successful fight to recover Fort Douaumont and the village of the same name, which, when it was taken by the Germans some months -go, the French war office declared to be a position of no strategic or mili tary importance. Kven tho potatoes are retailing for less per peck in Germany than they nre in this country, the German house wife is not permitted to pare them ami throw their peelings away. For such an offense against economy she is liable to imprisonment for a term of three months. Incidentally, it would be a good thing for tin multi tudes in this country if our govern ment had sufficiently paternalistic powers to enfee economical meas ures of this character upon them. The high cost of living is, indeed, becom ing burdensome here, but the proba bilities are that not a small portion of this burden is due to wasteful prac tices in countless homes in thj han dling of foodstuffs. In other words, If more people In this country made 11 of their foodstuffs go as far as pos sible, they would find it considerably easier to withstand the drain on their pocketbooks of the ever-Increasing prices. Any number of the' political proph ti who are so positive about their predictions as to what is going to be the result of the presidential election are going to have a lot of explaining to do November 8. But most of them Will probably be hiding out on that Cay. 8upt. H. W. Charles, of the Boys' Industrial institute, is undoubtedly .tight in his assertions that poverty plays a considerable part In the delin quency of children. And another con tributing factor is the divorce court. TThe latter, too, breeds some of the pov erty that oppresses any number of mothers and their little ones. With cotton soaring In this country to unheard of prices, except in Civil war times, possibly another excuse or reason has developed for increasing the cost to the consumer of some of tl.e clothing of the "all wool" variety. ---Were the high cost of living not on deck to disturb so many people these Soys, the probabilities are that they would have little trouble in finding aomelhlng else to worry about. The weather is pretty fine just now, but it is also chilly enough and has been for some time to kep the fires lioing in the houses a full twenty-four r.ours a day, and this in turn is some thing of a pull on the coal bins that bve a long, hard row ahead of them lefore the summery weather of spring gets here. In other words, tho pi'or old consumers seem to be get ting swatted from every angl and corner. 1'llKPARFD.MvSS AND PENSIONS. Preparedness pays for Itself in the saving of pensions, argues Thomas F. L'gan in Leslie's, and he continues It the- United States government had Jjfen strong and well prepared, the Civil war would have been over in a .few weeks. Compared with Spain, the United States was well prepared 'for the Spanish war, and the conse -juence was that comparatively few Jives were lost and few pensions paid The entente allies suffered their great est losses in the present war when they were unprepared. Frank A. "Van derlip of the National City bank re cently said that the greatest need of the day la for universal military, in dustrial and economic preparedness. Like Colonel Roosevelt and other en lightened public men, he advocated training-, in military service .of all able-bodied men. Roughly estimated, the increase in the army and navy ap propriations this year amounted to $200,000,000. Great Britain Is spend ing that much for two weeks of war. Co is Germany and so are Russia and France. Thus preparedness is a guar antee to peace. It is national insur ance against war, which involves tre mendous suffering: and death. That it is cheaper than pensions is shown by the fact that this country has spent J4, 940,804,143.05 In pensions. SHORT TIME FARM IOANS. Every farmer before borrowing money should ask himself certain questions, according to Bulletin No. 409, "Factors Affecting Interest Rates and Other Charges on Short-Time Farm Loans," recently published by the federal department of agriculture. Very often the farmer who does not ask himself these questions may find that the banker will require answers to them before he makes the loan. As the Importance of promoting and encouraging improved systems or farming becomes increasingly appa rent, to quote the bulletin, attention will be directed more and more to ward such questions as to the purpose and size of farm loans. How are the proceeds of a proposed loan to be employed? Are they to be expended for a productive purpose, such as would lead to improvement in- the farming business? Is the size of the loan well adapted to the purpose in view? Does the period for which the loan is to run conform to the time the capital is actually needed? All of these questions have a direct bearing on the costs of short-time farm loans. The use of any given loan ought to yield a return sufficient at least to re pay both interest and principal. If the returns are not sufficient for this purpose, then the money should not be borrowed. The only way In which the use of credit can be directed so as to serve the interests of Improved agriculture Is to control the extension of loans so that they may be used for productive purposes only. This means at the same time a safer use of credit. In some localities banks offer loans to farmers at reduced rates of Inter est when the money borrowed Is used for some specific and approved pur pose, such, as the purchase of live stock, the building of silos, or- the making of other improvements which will make farming more profitable un der given conditions. The banker usually charges a high er rate of interest on a small loan than on a large or.e. The clerical and bookkeeping expenses are the same in both cases. Unless a higher rate were charged on small loans, the point would be reached where the expenses connected with such loans would be greater than the interest. On the other hand, it pays the banker to handle large loans at a lower rate of Interest. The importance of restricting loans to those for approved productive pur poses and of having the size of the loan conform to the requirements of sound farm Investment has been rec ognized by some bankers to such an extent that they employ advisers who uibcuss sucn Question wlt tv..i. farmer patrons In order to promote the interests of their farm-loan busi ness. After the loan has been made and the capital invested, it is the duty lne aaviser to visit the farm from time to time to see if the plan adopted i. suncrcu io ana it the investment is yielding proper results. Such a dan means added protection to both the iarmer and the banker. LOW COST OF WAR BORROWING. It is said of the British public that it grumbles much and pays cheerful ly, says The Annalist. It is complain ing bitterly Just now because, among other things, the government has seen fit to issue Exchequer bonds bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent an nually. To pay so high a rate for the money needed to carry on the most colossal enterprise in human history Is denounced as unnecessary, undesir able, and altogether preposterous. The Englishman simply cannot imagine the necessity of such a rate when, for a century or more, his government has been able to get all the money it need ed at an average of perhaps less than half of 6 per cent. It may be that he is right in this case; possibly money would have flowed to the public cof fers as freely at a lower rate. But whether this is true or not, the re markable thing is not that the Brit ish government, or any other belliger ent government, should have to pay. 6 per cent for money after two years of expenditure running into many mil lions of dollars daily, but rather that the cost of money for war should not bi very much higher than that. Be fore the War broke out it was fre quently said that such a catastrophe was impossible, because to finance war on so vast a scale was beyond the f ewer of any financial system, and, besides, "the bankers would not al low it." And that assumption was besed on estimates of cost ridiculously small in comparison with the $25,000, 000 which Britain Is spending each day, and the equally fantastic expen ditures of the other warring nations. But wheh Germany thought the time was ripe for this conflict she perverse ly ignored the bankers who were to prevent the calamity, and didn't count the cost, or, if she did, greatly under estimated it. As for those who en- tered the struggle on the other side. they couldn't count the money cost. They had a Job to do and the money price to be' paid was a "matter for sec ondary consideration, The money had to be found some way, and it has been. so far with extraordinary ease, con sidering the stupendous sums which have been raised. Great Britain has borrowed more than f 11,000.000,000 since July, 1914, at an average rata of not more than 6 per cent, and per haps well under that. But despite this and similar operations by the other belligerents It now looks much easier to go on indefinitely borrowing un imaginable amounts than it would have appeared before the war to ac complish what has already been done. That scores of billions have been bor rowed at comparatively low rates is ohe of the remarkable features of the most remarkable period in financial history. No man's opinions have anything like the value he puts on them. .Nor is fooling others nearly so easy as is fooling one's self.

Right then I flopped and began preaching. "Two can live cheaper than one." Yes, a blamed sight cheaper. GLOBE MSITS From the Atchison Globe. All roads that lead to Easy street need paving.

People are always willing to assume responsibility, if the remuneration is sufficient. Some men are so emphatic all the time that the emphasis never amounts to much. Learn loyalty and gratitude, and you have mastered two of the most im portant branches. Loyalty to a political party Is con siderably less important than loyalty to your regular work. If you are really working too hard you won't know it until your car bureter is beyond repair. One must take a certain amount of risks, but no man should chew tobacco while wearing a dress suit.

Here is ont: "I have often wondered if you could help me solve some of my life problems. I am quite aweary the last few yoars trying to make ends meet and at the same time give my two Kirla and two boys at least a high school education, keep them all well, fed and clothed, "I pay eighteen dollars rent, fifty dollars coal bill, average fifteen dol lars for medicines and doctor, pay church dues, buy school hooks, spend a quarter now and then for carfares, or parks or movies (which are tfew and far between all on a fifteen dollar income. "Keep in mind that there are two others in the family that have to wear some kind of clothing. j "Also when the muslins, linens, j bedding, carpets, etc., wear out, where, would you get the wherewithal to buy others? 'A11 the famale clothing except' the shoes and stockings is 'constructed at home. One gets tired, so tired, of ripping and turning upside down, in side out, crosswise and slanting and otherwise. There is some satisfac tion, however, when the girls come home and say their new dress was so admired as it was So up to date, and your mother is such a wonder and so handy. I like my children, who are sweet looking as the next ones, to look Cainty and neat as their companions. "Now if you can start out on the first of the month with practically nothing in the house, what would you give to eat to six very healthy, hearty eaters for six dollars to spend for the food, when that was absolutely all you had to spend and you didn't Want to go into debt? They are such hearty eaters because they are reasonably healthy, I am thankful to say. But now food stuff is going up, up, up. I am at my wit's end, and as I said, so weary. "The children must be kept in school, no mater if I have to dress in an apron and not much else. And there is no way apparent to add to the income, at least this year. Could you do It? "I imagine if you could solve the food puzzle you would gladden not only the heart of this mother, but oth ers who are worse off." Could I do it? Indeed I couldn't. The only possible suggestion I can make is that any manager so clever as she has already shown herself, might, with the help of her children, take a few boarders. The letter fills me with the deepest respect for the woman who has the courage to struggle with the problem, and the hottest indignation for those who can be calm about the hardships that the rising cost of living places upon the big class phe represents.

(By Melitabel Putnam.) Howard Yale's heart leaped as he peered cautiously around a group of rhododendrons and caught a glimpse of white in the shadow of the hem locks. To his excited fancy, it seemed almost phosphorescent in the deepen ing dusk. It dazzled his eyes and dazed his brain, already sick, with susnense. Then the tension snapped and he sank limnly into a garden chair. She had meant It after all! Me had feared another evasion. He had not liked the glint in her eyes as she said: "If it really is important, meet me under the hemlocks as the moon rises. Mind, now! Not an Instant sooner, not an instant later. It's my lucky hour. Luna is my patron saint, you know. And be very careful what you say. Don't dare speak my name. The moon maids don t like to be called by name. It breaks the spell." Impish she had looked and impish ly she had laughed; but she had meant it after all. The chase was ended. With all her frivolity, Madge was hon est and kind at heart. Not once be fore had she seemed to yield in the least, and she would not lead him on now if she meant him harm, he was sure. Yes, the chase was ended. The thing was as good as done. He drew out a cigar and, chewing it nervously, settled himself to await the appointed hour with what stoicism he could mus ter. His thoughts, so lonff bound to one narrow track, were suddenly re leased, and fluttered about aimlessly. like long-caged birds unexpectedly set free. Perpetual puzzle, he mused, that one bit of fantastic femininity should so flustr a man long immune to the rest of fascinating sisterhood. In this case, there positively was no account- RTrg- for it. He was perfectly able to reason about his infatuation. He ad mitted frankly that Madge was not so beautiful, not so charming, not so good, not in any way so desirable as well, for instance, Marian Elting. A subtle change crept over his hag gard face. Strange that at this junc ture, when his whole being was cen tered on another, Marian's serene face should rise like a etar over the turbu lent sea of passion. Kven in that soli tude, in the growing darkness, his eyes grew chivalrous at thought of her. Will-o'-the-wisp Madge had led him a dance, and even yet he was merely hopeful for the first time; but the in stant their eyes had met he had in stinctively feared for Marian. Odd that so rar a creature should set her heart on any one man, and on him of all men. So far as he knew, no other woman ever had singled him out from the rank and file of men. and she could choose from the pick of them if she wished. Had he not al ready been under a spell well, who could say? She was the sort of girl who would make any man an ideal wife. His mother, his sisters, all his friends would approve her as heartily as they would object to Madge. Did this thought shake his iron pur pose? He asked himself candidly, and the answer was swift and .sure. Not for the infinitesimal part of an in stant! It was rank lunacy pure mid summer madness but that shimmer of white there under the trees was more to him than all the rest of crea tion, and for once in his life he would ohev the impulse of his heart, come what might. The sudden surge of feeling lifted him to his feet; but obe diently he sat down again, with a fum ing glance at the darkening sky. At any rate, ne naa been scrupu lously careful. He had nothing to re- proacn nimseir witn. tr Dy wora or look, if ever so unwittingly, he had given Marian cause to feel that he was interested in her, there would be but one thing to do. He had not en tirely lost his sense of proportion. His chance with freakish Madge had al wave been slender; he was sure of Marian; and no man of sense or feel ing would disappoint an eligible wo man for a forlorn hope. However, he had been unfailingly circumspect, and his wooing of Madge had not been done in a corner. It had been spectacular. Some day Marian would find a man more worthy of her adoration and yet he frowned un easily. He know people and it was his life w7ork to study them and he was aware that Marian was just the sort, in the circumstances, to go un mated to the end 'to be a sort of old maid aunt to his and Madge's chil dren. He smiled wryly. A second mother, rather, and they ould need one. It was difficult to picture Madge a moth er. Yet such girls often did settle down; and more than once In an emer gency he had known her to show ex traordinary sense and initiative- an almost superhuman shrewdness and Insight. It would rise to meet added responsibilities and become habitual. At any rate, he was glad Madge had a friend like Marian. He had watched that attachment spring up, grow and blossom like a lovely plant; and he had rejoiced In it, altho it had inter fered with his already difficult court ship. The two girls had become al most inseparable. He had scarcely seen Madge alone for days. One out side their immediate circle might well have doubted which girl he was pur suing. He glanced at the sky again and started alertly. Along the horiaon's edge the gloom was fading a trifle. He drew a deep breath. The crisis of his life Was at hand. His feverish gaee flew back to that statue-like figure un der the trees. How motionless it was. He had not pupposed any living wo man could be still so long. Surely this boded well for his suit. Already but- .aA ,ltimiw mr. MfrMnAtiiJ'iii jiiniwm: terfly Madge was folding her wings. The faint gleam slowly brightened and broadened. Presently, a pale gold crescent appeared, tiara-wise, on the brow of the hill. Howard watched it grow with gaze solemnly intent. Just what phrase should he use? Well, the greater the occasion tne simpler ana plainer speech should be. As the moon rose clear of its moor ings and floated above the distant tree tops, he sprang up and strode stealth ily across the grass. Madge. ''facing the moon, did not see him and evident ly did not hear him until he bent over her winningly and whispered, "Moon maid, will you be my wife?" Then the girl stood up and turned astounded, delighted, assenting eyes. "I I thought she began, broke off with a half sob and sank into hia waiting arms. AH his life Howard was Increasing ly glad each time he remembered that his own crestfallen countenance had been in the shadow; for the wonder ing, radiant face that was revealed to him by the light of the mocking moon was the face of Marian Elting! Far back in the shrubbery there was a faint ripple of sound. It might have been the twitter of a drowsy hlrd but it was more like an elfish chuckle. Witch-Wise Made! For it was pre cisely as he would have had it at that blissful moment. (Copyright. 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

"PERFECTLY FINE" Roosevelt Would Rather Be Sheriff Than President. Meets Congenial People Trip Thru West. Xorth Platte. Neb., Oct. 26. Col. Theodore Roosevelt had a lot of heart to heart talks with men and women of the plains of eastern Colorado and Nebraska. He talked oft his- early ex periences as a deputy sheriff .and rancher in Dakota territory back in the SO's. "That sounds good to me, colonel. piped a man on the platform. "I'm Sheriff Humberstone of Sedgwick county." The colonel leaned from the train and squeezed the eager hand of his fellow guardian of the law. "Colonel, there arc some Democrats here," Mr. Humberstone said, apolo getically. "They're like, the feller that sold a litter of puppies before election day. He called 'em Demo cratic puppies because they did not have their eyes open. After election they opened their eyes and got to be Republican puppies." The colonel said: "Perfectly fine," which has replaced the old "delight ed" Chased Horse Thief. A woman who had just got off th-? train spoke up. "I heard you speak in Denver last night." "Did you, indeed?" he exclaimed. "I enjoyed that speech. But I muit say I especially enjoyed the interrup tions. You see, I'm getting old and have to have something to stir up my interest. Well, friends, goodbye and good luck. As the train pulled out of Julesburg, Colonel Roosevelt said: "Xext to Dodge City, that used to be the toughest town in the west, altho. of course, it's all right now. Well. I remember catching a horse thief only fifty miles north of here. I was sher j iff. 'Hell Roarin' Hill Jones, deputy i in Dakota, sent me and two others after them." At Fort Morgan, Colo., Mr. Roope velt tol.l o group of ranchers1 tha he was not talking politics on this part cf the trip, but was always glad to meet men "with the bark on."

Definite Announcement Made by J. P. Morgan Co. New York. Oct. 26. A new loan of $300,000,000 to Great Britain has been announced by J. P. Morgan Com pany, fiscal agents of the allies in America. Indications already point to oversubscription of. the loan, accord ing to a formal statement issued by the bankers. The unique feature of the new loan. as set forth in the Morgan statement, is that the British government really did not want a loan at this time, but as money is so plentiful in this country, the government was urged to accept it and did so. The statement issued by J. P. Mor gan Company follows: The Statement. "A new British government loan offering had not been in contempla tion at the present time, but the pre vailing ease of money and the diffi culty which the banks are having in profitably employing their funds have led us to indicate to the British gov ernment that the present is a favor able time for it to establish additional credits in America, even tho such credits may not be immediately re quired. Accordingly, the British treasury has accepted the views of the American bankers and has authorised them to proceed. "Final details have, of course, not yet been arranged but the total amount of the issues will be $300,000,- I 000, made up of $150,000,000 of three-year notes, all to be dated No-, vember 1 or thereabouts, to bear in terest at 5 per cent and to be of fered to the investor so as to net at least that interest yield. The loan will be amply secured by high grade collateral to be determined at the tim of the offering. Stop Gold Imports. "Advance applications for partici pation in the syndicate which will u i derwrite the issue indicate that it will be oversubscribed. "The British treasury has of late renewed its shipments of gold to this country upon a large scale. This con tinued influx of the metal has caused some concern in the banking com munity and it is believed that the is suance of the proposed loan will tend to cause at least a temporary cessation in gold imports."

REMAINjeTRAL German Catbolic Clergy of Wis. Take So Election Stand. Let Members of Church Think and Act for Themselves. PRIEST DEFENDS WILSON Father Oberle Wants Proof He Slandered Germans. Hot Debate With Independence I Conference Official. j Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 26. German Catholic pastors of Wisconsin called Into session here by the American In- j dependence conference, which sought to induce thetm to support Charles E. Hughes, Republican candidate for t president, adopted the following reso lution: "Resolved, that inasmuch as this! meeting is composed principally of j Catholic clergymen and Catholic lay- men, it is the sense of this meeting j that we can not and will not take any J stand in party politics, leaving it to j the individual to think and act for himself." A few moments later Chairman George West, of the Republican state central committee, issued a statement declaring that the conference had no connection with the committee's work for Mr. Hughes. Fifty priests and laymen from vari ous parts of the state had assembled for the conference when the Rev. James J. Oberle, of New Colen, Wis., entered. Tt was Father Oberle who on Tuesday wired Mr. Hughes with a de- j mand for the candidate's position re- i garding the hyphen and the confer- ence. i Then things started to happen. j Father Oberle demanded that G. H. i Jacohson, an official of the Independ- ence conference, furnish specific in formation as to whv the pae tors should support Mr. Hughes. j Asks for Proofs. "You say that Mr. Wilson slandered hundreds of thousands of German Americans by saying that they are dis loyal. Give us the words. I am not talking for Mr. Wilson or Hughe?. If this is your proposal, that we must vote for Hughes, give us the presi dent's words.' "I think all of you have read the papers and it has been repeated time and time again." Mr. Jacobson replied. "I know that it h s been recorded In the press and it has never been de nied." Father Oberle challenged Mr. Ja cobson to produce a single speech by President. Wilson in which the presi dent had mentioned the German Americana of the country. Mr. Jacob son said that the newspapers had pub. lished accounts of President Wilson's speeches and that had been the inter pretation that had been placed upon them. "Give us the proof," cried several at once. "That is my opinion," Mr. Jacobson began. He added some further com ment and was met with the reply that something more than his opinion was wanted. E. P. Nemmers demand ed the names of the O'Leary commit tee which had the conference with Mr. Hughes on which the political campaign in his behalf is based. Mr. Jacobson read them. "Their judgment is that he would be neither pro-British nor pro-German Mr. Jacobson said, speaking of this conference. Hupjies Pro-American. "Did he make any promises?" Mr. Nemmers asked. "He made no promises," Mr. Jacob son replied, "and 1 defy anyone to prove that we demanded that he make any promises. We think he will be a pro-American president." "What would Hughes -have done?" was the next query. "I don't know," Mr. Jacobson re plied. "He made no promises. We are only assured that he will be an American president." Then Mr Jacobson reiterated that Mr. Wilson had not been neutral. "Not according to international law?" was the next step in the cross examination. "No, not according to international law, in my judgment," Mr. Jacobeon assorted, with a good deal of emphasis. "Do you not know that Mr. Roose velt is supporting Mr. Hughes?" Mr. Nemmers insisted. Jacobson was nettled by the aggres sive attitude of Father Oberle and Mr. Nemmers, and said, "If you two gentlemen are going to dominate this meeting, I am ready to retire."

"I didn't know anything about the raw," said the teacher in explanation ttrtav. -ami I wanted to find out whether, if I accused Vawter and was unable to prove it, he could have me nrrested for slander or libel or some thing like that."

She described it in detail and in minor de tails it varied somewhat from the sten ographic report of her testimony in the preliminary, but in no particularly Kixal matters. Few witnesses in Shawnee county courts have undergone the rigid cross examination to which Miss Curran was iuhjected by Mr. Schenck today. The lattery of attorneys lor the state ob jected frequently to the line of ques tioning.

OPEN JURY PROBE Attorneys Investigate Alleged Jobbing of Veniremen. Members of Panel Knew Too Little About Case. St. Joseph, Oct. 26. An investiga tion cf the venire drawn for the trial of Oscar D. McDaniel, prosecuting at torney of Buchanan county, who ia charged with the murder of his wife, was gotten under way here today by a commission of attorneys appointed yesterday by Judge Thomas F. Ryan, the trial judge, when he dismissed the panel, declaring it has been influ enced by by a newspaper interview purporting to quote John T. Barker, attorney general of Missouri and head of the prosecution, as having said the venire had been "jobbed" against the state. Attorney General Barker was called by the commission and asked about the alleged statement. He replied that he and other state's attorneys had agreed to the belief that several veniremen qualified with remarkable rapidity and knew more about the case than they pretended to know.' Jurors Made for Case. He reiterated his statement before the court yesterday that he did not wish to reflect upon Judge Ryan, un der whose supervision the panel was drawn. "It was a remarkable thing to me that with a case read from coast to coast men right here in Buchanan county knew as little and had read as little about it as a number of those veniremen purported to know." The attorney general said: "Several of them answered my question as If they were especially made for the case, and it looked bad. They said they had not heard the case discussed living right here in St. Joe. "It was the actions of the veniremen who seemed to know so little about the case. I thought and still think they indicated a desire to serve and that was the basis of my remarks." The commission after questioning Mr. Barker, examined the jury wheel from which the names were drawn. This afternoon it is planned to question Judge Ryan. The commission is headed by H. K. White. NEVER WAS A PRIEST Affidavit From Father of Slain Anti Catholic Lecturer at Trial.

FOUR BANKS OBJECT Throw Obstacles in Way City Kecelv. ing Three Per Cent. Representatives of four Topeka banks asked for a consultation behind closed doors this morning with Finance Commissioner W. H. Wasson, in an endeavor to induce him to use his influence in killing a proposed or dinance which would make it possible for the city to obtain 3 per cent on its money deposited in Topeka banks in stead of 2 per cent, the amount now paid by the Topeka banks. The bankers present at the city hall this morning were: Joseph T. Gray, auditor Topeka State bank; J. R. Bur row, president Central National canK, William Macferran, president State Savings bank and F. P. Elmore, cash ier Shawnee State bank. The conference lasted for more than two hours. A few minutes before noon. Commissioner Wasson appeared in the council chamber and informed the commissioners, who had been waiting, that he was ready to proceed with the meeting which had been delayed by the conference. "My viewpoint on the proposition has not changed one iota," declared Mr. Wasson, following the conference. "As finance commissioner 1 am sup posed to get, the best investment pos sible for the city and with the passage of this ordinance the city will get an increase of 1 per cent on its moneys. Wasson Stands Pat. "I am for the passage of the ordi nance the same as I was three hours ago. No public official could be oth erwise, who is looking out for the best interests of the city he represents.' But to give the bank representatives every opportunity to show why the city should not get 3 per cent instead of 2 per cent and present any argument they may desire. Commissioner Was son withheld the final reading of the ordinance until next Monday. This was done at the request of representa tives of the four banks. The Topeka banks and trust com panies have been accepting city moneys on deposit and paying 2 per cent for the use of the moneys. State funds and certain city and other funds deposited in a similar manner have been drawing. 3 per cent in Topeka banks. The ordinance governing the deposit of city moneys provided for equitable distribution as "far as prac ticable," provided that no money should be deposited which drew less than 2 per cent interest. Xew Bank Takes a Hand. Then the new Kansas Reserve State bank with F. C. Kaths as president and Earl Akers as cashier snram, it existence That bank offers to take the city moneys and pay 3 per cent on the deposits. The four bankers endeavored to preserve the old ordinance. Under i's provisions, only one-twelfth of the city's money could be placed in the new bank, which offers 3 per cent; the other banks could continue to pay 2 per cent and let the city and the one bank whistle. The city charter provides that the city funds shall be deposited in "one or more banks of the city." The pro posed ordinance means to follow the charter, and instead of the stipulation in the ordinance now requiring the city to deposit its funds in the various banks of the city, "as nearly equitably as possible," to substitute a clause permitting the city to deposit its funds in one or more banks, being "guided by the best interests of the city." The new ordinance, in line with the old, will stipulate that a bank receiv ing city deposits shall protect the city either thru the bank depositors' guar antee fund, or a fund of indemnity of a surety company authorized by the insurance commission of Kansas and approved by the commissioners, and to the amount of the city funds car ried by the bank. The bankers in their arguments to keep the city moneys on deposit at 2 per cent declared that they are heavy taxpayers, old citizens and should be entitled to consideration. It is un derstood that Commissioner Wasson has told them that they are entitled to consideration and would get it on strict business principles. Commissioner Wasson refused to discuss the proceedings at the confer ence. When asked If such arguments had not been presented, he laughed. Draws a Comparison. "They're bankers." said Mr. Was son. "I venture to say that if two men came into their bank with equal securities at their command and asked for a loan, one offering 6 per cent and the other 7 per cent, they would ac cept the 7 per cert loan first, no mat ter if the man was a taxpayer, old res ident, or not. The same thing should apply to city business. We desire to get the most we can for our money and we have an opportunity to do so and get the best of security at the same time.. Why shouldn't we do it?" RAISE F0R 40,000 MEN Concede to Demands of Shopmen About $100,000 a Tear. Palestine. Tex.. Oct. 26.

High Cost of Flour Will Have Effect on Loaves. Lack of Organization Among Bakers Only Block. Competition and the lack of organ ization among Topeka bakers iCT th only thing that is holding the price of bread to the present level. Local bakers practically are unanimous in declaring that there i no profit to be made on bread with flour at the pres ent high price and bread at the ol'l standard. Bakers here seriously are considering an increase in price or a reduction in size of the loaves, but the latter move is known to be imprac ticable. The Ideal bakery has started put ting out a 15-cent loaf and other bak eries may follow its lead in this. Louis P. Heil of the Ideal bakery this afternoon stated that his firm is considering an advance in bread prices. "Many bakeries here hav. stocks of flour on hand, but that is not to be considered in the matter of bread prices." he said. "Any man who has a stock of flour, or a contract with local mills, can cash in at the mill any time he wishes,' said Mr. Heil. "So you will see that a man can not afford to consider advance supplies in setting prices. "We have been thinking of the matter lor some time," he said, "but have come to no decision. "There is nothing in making bread at the pres ent prices, and if flour go higher or continue long at the present rate I suppose the raise will have to come. "I have talked to several bakers, but none of them seems to have de cided what move to make. We have no organization or agreement of any kind, but most of the Topeka bakers will make the advance if it become apparent that such an action be taken." QUIGLEY IN TOPEKA E. C. Quigley, National league um pire and sport official extraordinary who is back at St. Marys for the win ter, was in Topeka today shaking hands with old friends and making calls at familiar haunts. "Quig" had the distinction of work ing in the world series this year and was with the National league all sea son, but he absolutely refused to talk baseball, stating that he was only in terested in football just now. Tomorrow the former St. Marys coach will officiate in the Washburn Ottawa game at Ottawa and Saturday he will go to Norman, Okla., to work in the Sooner-Tiger clash.

Common garden sag-c brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn srray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux uriant. Mi Tin ;z the Sajre Tea and Sul phur recip at home, though, is trou blesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to -ua-i preparation improved by the addition of other inaredtentH. cost ing about 50 cents a la r pre bottle, at drug stores, known as Vyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound," thus avoid ing a lot of muss. Whil gray, faded hair in not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so- natural ly, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or 3-ft brush with it and draw this through your hair, takinar on small str&tnd at a time; by mo mine all gray hair have disappeared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requi site.

READY FOR TRIP Ichabods in Fine Fettle for Game at Ottawa Tomorrow. .IVashliurnites Interested Baker-Quaker Battle. Having come thru their last hard workout before the Ottawa game with out a mishap and with every member of the squad apparently in fine fettle, the Ichabods were taking things easy tGday and eagerly awaiting time to pack their suit cases and board the "Plug" for the trip to the Baptist bat tlefield. Nineteen men and the coach and Student Manager Champeny will make the trip. They will leave To peka early tomorrow morning and will be away until Saturday night. ne?day night the workout was suffi cient to stimulate the sweat glands1 to flowing action and to whet up appe tites. Four squads, including the freshmen, were on the field and all Indulged in long signal drills and in passing plays. Sargent was in charge of the firat varsity squad at quarterback and Jay McCosh ran the second string. Doctor Kennedy rtated today he was not sure, but that the lineup tomorrow would -very likely be similar to the one used in the Baker game. Among the men who will make the trip to Ottawa are Captain Stewart, C'olvin, Palmer, -Cox, Benton, Whit tnm b, Logan, Shaw. Wilson, Trull, Caliban. Heller, McCosh, Champeny, Hope, Perry. Sargent, Drake and Da vis. All of the men appear confident of victory and will be disappointed if they do not win by a decisive score. Other Games. Altho Washburn followers are inter ested in the outcome of the game with the "Hard Shells." many are waiting for the other conference games of to morrow with much eagerness. The center of attraction is the Baker-Friends meeting at Baldwin. Many are predicting that Baker will play a surprising game against the Quakers and there are quite a few who believe they have a good chance to win. Even the Quakers themselves admit that such a thing is within the range of the possible, and Coach Ben bury is quoted ag s-aying he is far from comfortably confident. "The result of the Washburn-Baker pame can not be accepted as a real in dication of the strength of the Metho dists, Banbury says, "because Baker niupiayea unshimrn thruout the en tire game and should have won." Quakers Work Hard. The Quakers, it is understood, had scouts in Topeka last Saturday tr a line upon Baker and ever since they returned to Wichita Banbury's men have been working with renewed ef forts. There are few Washburn supporters m win agree witn uoctor Banburv that Baker outplayed the Ichabods last Saturday, but all blue and white i-upponers are pulling the Methodist pulieybone for all it is worth and are anxious 10 see Nchiademan's men tri umpn because if they do it will mean that Quaker championship hopes and claims are wiped out forever. The Emporia Normals are expecting an rwy victory over southwestern, and the only other conference game that gives promise of being unusually "rinse this week is the Fairmount-St. Ma rvs clash at St. Marys. We can and will save money on a Hen's 611 Kansas Ave. Minute FORMER GOVERNOR'S SON BREAKS LEBOH GRIDIRON Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 26. While scrimmaging against the University of Kansas varsity eleven Wednes day night, Roscoe Stubbs, of Law rence, a member of the freshman eleven, had his right leg broken. He is a son of former Governor W. R. Stubbs, of Kansas. Stubbs, who weighs 235 pounds, was play ing an unusually classy game at tackle. He was under a pile of men when he received the frac ture. Stubbs's injury was the most serious of the year on the Kansas squad. IRIS IN GOOD START 'Movie Actors" Defeat the Stags in City League Meeting.

The Harvard football scoreboard is on its way from Cambridge, Mass., to Ii dianapolis, to be used in the inter section game between the elevens rep resenting Indiana university and Tufts college of Medford, Mass., which will be played at the American Association baseball park next Saturday. The scoreboard is a complicated af fair and is operated by a "wig-wag" system, according to the Indiana uni versity authorities, who are having it brought to this city. It shows who carried the ball, who did the tackling, the kind of play used, the down, the distance to go and the score. It is said to be the first time such a sys tem will have been used at a football game in the central west. Plans to Enlarge Cubs Park. Chicago. Oct. 26.

Advice of Friends Not Always Good to Follow. BY CHARLES ("CHICK') EVANS. Amateur and Open Golf Champion. A prospective golf champion on starting out finds himself fuly equipped with a club membership, golf clothes, golf bag and clubs. Per haps he has felt a little foolish at times accumulating these instruments of pleasure but it was an enjoyable foolishness. He has made the first advance on the long road and is now ready to play his first round. About this time Mr. Brown, who has advised him to take up the same, calls him up and invites him out to the club for the afternoon. He ac cepts, of course, and he fancies he hears the office snicker as he passes out, bearing rather awkwardly the un accustomed burden of his golf bag He is self-conscious, too, and he finds it a bit hard to carry his clubs along the street under the eyes of friend3, who say, "I told you so!" Advice of Friends. It is a long distance from the down town, district to most golf clubs, and our beginning golfer cannot help thinking on the way of the priceless time he is losing from business. He cannot then foresee, if he happens to hold a minor position, in his office, that he is at last faced in the direction or physical fitness that will lead to the efficiency that means promotion Bv the time the o-nlf r,r,h,. his companion has reached the club he is ready to enjoy his life-giving exercise and the rural quiet of the links. They have selected a beautiful day for their playing, and it might be called an auspicious occasion, but right here our friend is going to do a very ill-advised thing. His friend engages a caddie for him and they start for the first tee. Our future champion knows nothing of golf, and he grabs his club as if it were a base ball bat, for, like most Americans, he knows something of that game. His friend, who has been playing for fif teen years and never yet broken a hundred, tells him he can tAich him anything he wants to know, and herewith begins a flow of advice. The First Round. It is not for me to say in this article what happens in the next four hours, for it takes that long for them to get around. It was a. happy confusion of a beau tiful green course, delightful air and the mad chase of a little white ball from tee to hole. Of course, he has missed the ball a great many times, has tried out hundreds of ideas of his friend and has thought that he has discovered a hundred more. Coming in to the eighteenth hole, he has a fine long iron shot near the hole and goes into the locker room regretting that darkness is about to fall. He has had a good time and is just afire with the golf idea, but he has really learned nothing about the game, merely acquired the notions of a man who does not play well himself. Our friend should have gone to the club professional. From him he could have learned the orthodox stance, grip and some of the preliminary steps. In spite of the fart, however, that our future champion has learned nothing about golf, I am, on the whole, satis fied with his first day on the links, for he has experienced the difficulty of golf, the joy of the outdoors and the desire to achieve a good name.

DAVE TIBBOTTS TOE HELP TO PRINCETON TIGERS THIS FALL Noodles andNaggets -"-o. Dutf from the Dodo Pot

By Ciu- "Ois" Larimer, of Fullerton Bros., is cer tainly doing a great deal to help out in the building of a new Washburn gridiron or ganization. "Oz" was out again Wednesday night. He shed his coat and got into the fr.na in earnest style and kept the first squad going at a great clip. lr. Kennedy turned the boys over to him and he showed them the fast and furious pace old Washburn players formerly bit. "Pinky" Heals, who like Larimer, ranks as one of the greatest stars the Ichabods ever boasted, was also out to lend a help ing hand. Hut Just as he always used to do the unexpected in a game, and the heroic, he went over to the freshmen and devoted his time to helping them get into playing shape. "Coach" Baker with the assistance of Cap tain Guston kept the freshmen ou their toes until dark, and when it was announced that there would be no Tarsity scrimmage, the yearlings split up and scrimmaged against each other. There is much com petition for places on the team that will play the Santa Fe Apprentices Saturday. Of all Washburn supporters, it would be a difficult task to find two more loyal than F. (i. Willard and Ir. .Tim Stewart, The former was even out at the "rain fali" scrimmage Tuesday night, and Dr. Stewart devotes every moment that he can spare to the boys and their needs. Also, he is help ing in a coaching way, being a specialist in gridiron tactics as well as in charley horse doctoring and other things that go with his profession. Indications are that a "blanket game" will be played by Ir. Kennedy's men at Ottawa tomorrow. It is understood that Billy Hargiss's Emporia Normals will have an army of scouts at the game, and for this reason nothing will be uncorked un less It is absolutely needed to win. Several local Washburn men are plan ning to make the trip to Ottawa, and most of those who accompany the team will stop in Lawrence to see the Aggie-K. I", battle Saturday afternoon. It will be Impossible to get out of Ottawa Friday night for Topeka except by automobile to Lawrence.

Fast has been practically out of it all season for this very reason. Frank Moran was fined for speeding with a movie actress. Like most of 'em, it appears that the blond Pittsbureer has succumbed to the allurements of the rag j aud the bone and the tank of gasoline. j And, by the way, a rumor has reached Topeka that maybe Jess Willard is not i hewing to the straight and narrow as i closely as he once did. However, his friends i neeci not worry, iteing unocr tne care or Tom Jones will protect him. It costs money to hit the high spots, and Jones disapproves of everything that costs money.

To Smash Attendance Records. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 26. It is an nounced that from advance sales in dications are that the Western Penn sylvania football attendance record of 34,000 hung up last year when Pitts burg and Washington and Jefferson clashed will be smashed Saturday when Bob Folwell's rejuvenated Penn eleven will attempt to handle the Pan thers. The Penn squad numbering thirty will arrive Friday morning and will practice Friday afternoon at Forbes field. THIS K. U. PLAYER IS A GREAT CIRCUS PERFORMER, HE IS Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 26. In oder to make the university backfield inen step high when they are lugging the pigskin, "Potsy" Clark has introduced an Illinois custom in the Jayhawker football practice. A number of boxes three feet square and eighteen Inches deep are placed in a row a stride apart. The men must run at a fair rate of speed stepping in the boxes One of the backs came out late the evening the boxes were introduced. He reported to Coach Olcott, who told him to take a run thru the boxes sev en "or eight times. Some friend on the team explained to the late arrival that he must tip the boxes on edge and crawl thru them. The coaches found the credulous youth industri ously working and wondering what would be the next thing the coaches would require. EYES ONWEATHER Dry Field Will Be Advantage to the Aggies Saturday. Dr. Kennedy Continues to Bank on the Jayhawk Spirit. Dopesters in both the Jawhawker and Wildcat camps are banking on the weather to play an important part in the K. TJ.-Aggie clash at Lawrence Saturday afternoon, and it is conceded that the Clevenger men will be at an advantage on a dry field while a wet, heavy soil would be a great handicap to them. From Lawrence comes the an nouncement that Captain Lindsey is primed for the battle and that he is expected to be the individual star of the Olcott machine. Reports from Manhattan state that the Wildcats are holding their final practices in se cret and are preparing some surprises for their old rivals. Kennedy Has Hunch Doctor Kennedy, Washburn mentor and former Jawhawker coach, retains his loyalty for the K. U. team and in addition to admitting that he is al ways for the "boys" except when his team happens to be the opposition he insists that the old Jaw Hawk war spirit will hear the call to duty and "save the bacon." Manager W. O. Hamilton of K. U. has- announced that the game will start promptly at 2:45 o'clock. In ad- Second Week of Tremendous Sale of Kansas City Wholesale Clo. Cos Winter Mer chandise.

The tackle and. in fact all. live men should remember to help up their own backfield men after they have been tackled. The backs get a lot of hammering when they are tackled. I know nothing seemed nicer to me than to be helped to my feet by a b'T strong lineman after a hard tack.e had stopped me. This helping up of the backs by the linemen also tends to create a bond of frievdhip and good feeling among the fellows on the team. It tends to work towards mak ing eleven men into one unit rather than having eleven players each sim ply thinking of his own play. When his own team punts, the tackle should remember to hold his position until the ball leaves the kick er's foot, for it is more important that the kick should not be blocked than it is that the tackle should get down the field. Of course, a good tackle will block his opponents off and get down under the punt as well, but the first requisite is to get the punt off. On a forward pass the tackle must also hold his position until the ball leaves the passer s hand. Good offensive tackles are very rare in schoolboy football ranks and it seems to me that more attention should be paid to the tackles by schoolboy coaches, as they are the bulwarks of any team. Therefore, on the offense the schoolboy tackle should remember to get up to the line of scrimmage, to get in a strong, low position, to charge low. alwavs with the head UP. to be fiercelv and to think every second' he is in the Bame- Let the tackle find out if his opponent has any gUiring weaknesses and then let him play to it. Almost every football player has some kind of a weakness if it can onlv be re covered.

Both the houses of bishops and deputies will go into executive session today to select five new Protestant Episcopal bishops. The bishops be gan their session this morning while the deputies are holding off until a late hour this afternoon. If there is to be any personal political fight in the conference of the church it will most likely crop out today when the new missionary bishops are chosen. The deputies decided on the. late hour of convening to give the upper house ample time in which to send its selections to the lofer body for con currence. Need Not "Warn" the Sick. Clergy of the church no longer need warn sick persons to make their wills, if the upper house concurs in a reso lution pat-sod by the deputies. The op position to the clergy advising their communicants legally on making of their testaments was led by Francis A. Lewis, noted Philadelphia lawyer. The deputies voted to 3trike out the following prayer book directions to the clergy: "If the sick person hath not before disposed of his goods, let him then be admonished to make his will, and to declare his debts, what he oweth and what is owing unto him, for the better discharging of his con science, and the quietness of his ex ecutors. But men should often be put in remembrance to take crder for the setting of their temporal estates whilst they are in health. The min ister shall not omit earnestly to move such sick persons as are of ability to be liberal to the poor." ASSESSMENTS UNPAID Many Cities Delinquent in Dues to Im prove Mississippi River. La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 26. Delegates to the convention of the upper Missis sippi River Improvement association were told today that three-fourths of the assessments against river cities for dues had not been paid. The report of Secretary L B. Boswell, showed that the association had received an in come of $1,510, during the year and that assessments of dues against cities, aggregating more than $4,000, have not Deen paid. That the association has not carried on an aggressive cam paign during the past year to assist various cities in providing docks and terminal facilities to prepare them for the revival of river traffic is due en tirely to a shortage of funds. However progress has been made. P. M. Hanson of St. Louis,' chairman of the commercial committee, pointed out. In St. Louis the first unit of the terminal is being constructed and in the season Just closed 45,000 tons- of freight were handled out of that city. River business at St. Louis coming from the upper stream, however, showed a decline compared with last year of 3,000 tons. Officers of the association will be elected at the afternoon session today. Winona will probably be awarded the next convention. DEFEATS FOUR FLYERS British Air Pilot Brings Down One and Chases Three. London, Oct. 26.

Chicago, 111., Oct. 26. A check for $450,000, the largest individual dona tion for benevolent purposes ever made in the history of the church, has been added to the Methodist ministers' pension fund. It is also the largest check Joseph B. Hingley, secretary of the board of conference claimants, has ever endorsed. The $450,000 was the first payment of the bequest of Mrs. Ellen S.

ME, NOTJVILSON Connelly's Advice to Men Who Scratch the Ticket. Sixth District Congressman Making a Hot Campaign. Kansas Democrats are greatly en couraged by the impression made by John R. Connelly's recent platform ap pearance In Decatur, Traer and Cedar Bluffs. To the latter place fully 300 automobiles drove from all parts of the surrounding country on the oc casion of the congressman's address. Half a dozen bands did their share in stimulating the enthusiasm every where evident. Many Republicans rivaled the interest displayed by all the adherents of the present admin istration. In a Bpeech in support of existing national policies. Congressman Con nelly answered singly various charges that have been made against him. He fought back at the accusation that he had gone into caucus with the south ern Democrats by saying that co-operation was the only means of effect ively forwarding an administration measure and that as there are 435 men in the house of representatives, individual action would avail nothing. He praised the lowering of the tariff under Democrat rule and called atten tion to the fruitless promises of Re publicans year after year to reduce the import levies. He disposed of the charge that the south alone was benefited under the Underwood tariff by declaring that the three big com modities of the south--cotton, sugar and lumber were all on the free list. He advised Republicans not to feel too bad about the hard times which will never arrive but which the Re publicans constantly charge are on the way. He demonstrated that seven out of twelve positive demands in the Pro gressive platform of four years ago had been enacted into law under Wil son. He concluded by asking his audi ence to cast its vote for President Wilson for re-election. The president, he maintained, is the greatest since Lincoln. "If you want to vote against some Democrat." he pleaded, "scratch me, but not Wilson." UP GOES BREAD PRICE Bakers Urge Embargo on Wheat To Probe Storage Houses. Chicago, Oct. 26. Increased prices for bread within the next few days were again predicted by members of the Master Bakers' association today, following increases in the cost of flour yesterday. It was said that there were few bakeries in the city with more than a few days' supplies of flour on hand. Chicago bakers will hold a meeting Saturday night in an effort to induce Chicago congressmen to back a move ment for an embargo on the shipment of wheat. Flour yesterday was quoted to Chicago housewives at $11 a barrel. Investigation in the cause of rising food prices was to be started by the committee on health of the city coun cil. It will be an inquiry primarily directed at cold storage warenouses and the report that the dealers are deliberately holding up food stuii3 to maintain the present high prices, it is FELL FROM LOFT- HURT; THEN WELL How a Man Who Landed on Wood Pile and WTas Sore From Head to Foot Found Quick Relief.

Chicago, Oct. 26. In local betting cucles the odds on a Democratic vie tory November 7 have backed down from 2 to 1 to 7 to 5. Hughes is still a 1. to 2 shot. Jim O'Leary, Chicago's chief betting (omm'ssioner explained: "There's a big Democratic wave on thru out the country so I cut my price." O'Leary expects that Roosevelt's corring will change the odds again, in favor of the Republican nominee. SWING TO HUGHES SeTenth and Eighth Districts May Desert Wilson.

Comet H? 521 HADE OF KID LEATHER Zntavern, Lifelong Democrat, Is Leading German Revolt, Governor Capper Spends Three Days in Eighth. Great Bend, Kan.. Oct. 26. Barton county ia preparing to explode a ton ot dynamite in the camp of Seventh district Democracy. Barton county Germans they control more than 50 per cent of the votes of the county are lining up strongly behind Hughes. It isn't an occasional or spasmodic slump to the Republican nominee. It is general. In fact Fred Zutavern, life long Democrat and twice member of thft state legislature, is leading the Wilson revolt. The breach in the Democrat ranks extends to every sec tion of the Seventh district Democrat stronghold. Only once In the history of the county has Barton given a majority for a Republican nominee for pres ident. That was in 1904 when Kan sas went wild over Roosevelt. That year Barton gave Roosevelt more than 600 majority. Now, with the German vote lining up almost unanimously for Hughes a vote that has always been almost solidly Democratic the Re publicans are claiming the county for Hughes by anything from an even break to 400 That isn't all. The swing against Congressman Shouse has set in. Bar ton Germans are taking their second TRY THIS FOR A COLD-ITS FINE! Tape's Cold Compound' ends severe colds or grippe in few hours.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY Baronaa (Nw Jmr) New Jersey look around. Their first announce ment was that they would not sup port President Wilson for re-election. Now they are talking about cleaning the platter. Already there is evidence of a big inroad in the Shouse defense. One of the big boosts for Simmons in Barton county is the open support of O. W. Dawson of Great Bend. Added to this movement is the an nouncement that Frank U. Russell of Rush county, candidate against. Sim mons in the August primaries, is to enter Barton countv with fmepcbea for Simmons. Zntavern Caused It All. The one bit? move in Barton countv that has broken the Democrat organ ization and spoiled a chance for old- time Democrat majorities was the de sertion of this man Zutavern. In the 1913 and 1916 sessions, Zutavern rep resented Barton county in the -legislature. This year he was not a candi date for renomination. He read the political signs months in advance. He saw that another nomination might bind him to make Democrat speeches in the county. And under no circum stances, Zutavern declares, will he consent to vote for President Wilson. altho every previous presidential vote nas Deen lor the Democrat nominee. I am an American citizen." de clared Zutavern. "I am patriotic. I favor a square deal. The things I say for myself I say for my people. And we cannot stultify ourselves to vote for Wilson. I haven't heard a German in Barton county say he will vote for Wilson. No, sir. Why, I simply couldn't do it and retain my honor, and self respect." Zutavern is to take the stump against President Wilson. He will ad dress a number of German meetings in Barton county and will work with other Germans in the fight on the re election of the president. N. J. Berscheidt is another Hughes German. Berscheidt is a Republican, altho nearly all of his relatives are Democrats. Germans All for Hughes. "Four years ago, my father was in Chicago and lost his vote," said Ber scheidt. 'Thank God,' he told me, that was the happiest incident of my life. I wouldn't vote for him now. Never.' And father never voted for any one but a Democrat for president before this year. Next month he will vote for Hughes." There is Frank Peschka of Claflln old, reliable, steadfast Democratic Claflin who is a life-long Democrat. This year he is miles from the Wilson reservation. tie is lor tiugnes, teetn and toe nails, days, nights and Sun days. Bernard Krampe and Fred Deuser of Sllicia are two others. Wil liam Weikahm of Pawnee Rock is an oaher. All are life-long Democrats. All are prominent farmers in differ ent sections of the county. And in their campaign of slaughter, there ate threats that Congressman Shouse and at least portions of the Democratic state ticket are to be included. Two yearj ago Governor Capper lost the county by more than 300 votes. This year there are numerous claims that he will carry the county by a substantial majority. Women Turning to Hughes. McPherson, Kan., Oct. 26. Seventh and Eighth district, women are recov ering from the hysteria surrounding the Democratic plea that "Wilson kept us out of war." That is the sentiment among many new voters as found in a trip thru a number of counties in the two congressional districts. Since the opening of the state and national campaigns the Democrat have based their claims for a showing in Kansas on the fact that the women were with them. Just before the bat tle news, as gathered in the counties of the short grass country, Indicates that the Bourbons may have over played their hand on the hope of a big women vote. Many women who a few weeks ago had shown a tendency to go to Wilson on the "no war" plea, are now registering in the Republican camp, if the dope in a number of counties is not misleading. One central Kansas woman, who senses the sentiment among new voters, does not believe that the Demo crats will be able to chalk up the ex pected woman vote. This woman is Mrs. H. N. Bentley of Sterling, Rice county. Mrs. Bentley is the wife of Dr. H. N. Bentley, mayor of the town. Mrs. Bentley is a member of the Ster ling school board, she is active in club affairs, is the mother of three sons, but does not understand the argu ment that Wilson kept the United States out of war with Mexico, Ger many or any other country. No One Anxious for War. "Why, I don't understand how the Democrats can possibly hope to con vince the women that Wilson kept us out of war," exclaimed Mrs. Bentley during a Capper meeting in Sterling this week. "The women read the pa pers thoroly, I think, and they do not seem to understand that anyone was anxious to go to war with us. "But suppose there was a real war situation," continued Mrs. Bentley, with a keen display of womanly sar casm. "Suppose there really should be. Does anyone think the women are not as patriotic as anyone? I have three boys. One of them is old enough for service. If there were really a war and my boy were needed for serv ice, I should surely want him to go. And I think I love that boy just as much as any mother can love her son. But before I see the argument that Wilson kept us out of war, I want to know how, when and with whom." Governor Capper is spending three days in the Eighth district In a cam paign for the election of Judge Thomas C. Wilson of Wichita to con gress. The governors Eighth district itinerary will take him Into McPher son, Harvey, Sedgwick, tmiier ana Sumner counties. On paper, the ngnt in the Eighth district will be close. Both Judge Wilson and congressman W. A. Ayres have a strong personal following. Republican leaders in sev eral of the counties, however, are con fident that Republicans will roll up record majorities in November and that the district will be returned to Republican rule. The governor entered the Eighth district at McPherson, where he made his first speech to a crowd that packed the court house at the supper hour. Governor Capper arrived in McPherson nearly two hours late. But a crowd, largely composed of farm ers, awaited his arrival. At night the governor spoke in Lindsborg to one of the biggest crowds that has at tended a political meeting in several years. He drove to McPherson after the meeting, caught an early morning train for Wellington and renewed the Wilson fight In Sumner county. Seventh district speaking dates were concluded when the governor left Rice county. The governor made three speeches within an hour in Sterling. He talked to Cooper col lege students, to high school students and to a crowd of citizens on the main street. At Lyons he talked to a crowd that filled the opera house. In Great Bend, J. T. Botkin, secre tary of state, talked from the same platform with Governor Capper. Bot kin is making a forceful, effective campaign speech. He visited a num ber of Barton county towns this week and reports of his speeches were to the effect that they produced results. Dr. James C. Butler, senatorial candi date; Ira Braugher, legislative candi date, also spoke. O. W. Dawson, Pro gressive nominee for congress two years ago, presided at the meeting. Dr. Butler accompanied Governor Capper on his trip thru Rice county. Conditions point to Dr. Butler's elec tion over Senator Sutton, Democrat, by a large majority. ENOUGH OF MARRIED LIFE. COSTS HAVE DOUBLED Science Laboratories May Close war Continue Two Years. If Husband, 17, Finds Existence for Two an Expensive Proposition. Salina,' Kan., Oct. 26. Marry in haste and repent at leisure, was the program of Erphine Krause, aged 17, who was married to Mabel Hays, 16, after a courtship of three weeks. In order to be married, the boy swore that he was 21 and the girl 18. Erphine took his bride to the home of his father, August Krause, at Wood bine, and they lived there until about two months ago, when the child wife decided she wanted to live in Salina, so they moved to this place and tried to make their own way. The boy had no trade and was unfortunate about securing work. At last she had him arrested for non-support and he was held in jail for several days. Finally, just a day or two ago, he was turned loose on his promise to try to get work and her agreement to withdraw her charge. However, Erphine decided he didn't like married life with its responsibili ties, and that he really found it too hard to make a living for two, so he decided to have the marriage annulled. Emporia, Kan., Oct. 26. If the war continue two years longer, the science, laboratories over the country will be closed is the prediction of several teachers In connection with the lab oratory at the Kansas Normal schooi at Emporia. Prices for hydrogen, glycerin, car bolic acid and some other chemicals have increased 1000 per cent. Fine glassware of certain kinds cannot be purchased at any price. Platinum has doubled in price In the last year. Or ders for glass graduates and zinc and copper vessels have not been filled for several years. Potassium nitrate which was selling for 15 cents in 1913 has advanced to 50 cents a pound. "It is costing twice as much to rur a laboratory for the same number of students that it cost us last year," says Prof. James Mayberry of the chemistry department of the normal. SAVED MONEY FOR FUNERALu Inmate of Franklin County Farm Burled as He Desired. Ottawa, Kan., Oct. 26. When John Moreran. formerly a coal miner at Ransomville, became an inmate of the county farm five years ago he did not want to be buried as a pauper when his time came. He laid away $100 from previous earnings for funeral and burial expenses. That money was held in trust for him. Last week when Morgan died the "death" fund had been almost for-e-otten. Then county officers remem bered it and Morgan was buried out in Highland cemetery from the money he had saved. Part of it went to buy a lot and pay funeral expenses. The rest will be used to erect a monument over his grave. TO EXTEND LIGHT SERVICE. Jetmore Purchases New Engine for Plant Issues $10,000 Bonds. Jetmore, Kan., Oct. 26.

Hays, Kan., Oct. 26. Donald Kyle, of Monument, had out 119 acres of wheat this year. He hired all the work done on rented land and did not touch the crop himself, either putting in, cutting, threshing or hauling. For his share he received the sum of $1,300; the landlord, who added the expense of cutting and threshing in before the division, received over J1.600 for his share. Young Kyle attested his faith in western Kansas by buying a quarter of land for $1,600, and all he lacked in money of paying for it from the first crop was $300. He will put in more wheat than ever this fall and by next fall will be a full fleriewl er. These instances are so numerous in western Kansas as to provoke but nine comment here at home. SHOOTING QITAIL TOO SOON. Game Wardens in Phillips Connty Warn Hunters to Stop Practice. Fhillipsburg, Kan., Oct. 26. Game wardens in western Kansas have is sued warnings that quail may not be shot in the state until a year from this fall, following the shooting of many birds by hunters who believed that the five year protective law for quail was over on October 1 or this year. The legislature of 1909 enacted a law prohibiting the killing of quail for six years but in 1911 the law was amended to five years. The game warden has interpreted the law to be gin with the time of the enactment of the amendment, and tho no arrests have been made for illegal shooting wardens say that prosecution will fol low any shoting from now on.
