THE WRITTEN A GAS CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT RESHARP In the fight of the city on Waltham against the gas company, we will be well to stop and take a view of both sides before further an opinion? It is indicted an easy matter to attack a corporation on almost any sand and receive the applause of the multitudes, it is equally easy to coerce it in the galleries when the corporation is being vowed and the axes of the chimney will be being laid at the an time. In this matter is shown that the that corporations and corporations deposit to assault and attack a corporation when the same would pass without action if all parties concerned were private individuals. It is commercial on the part of every public servant to observe and protect the rights of the people it in so doing, absolute fairness is shown toward all parties concerned. 1. In the matter of the Kansas Gas and Electric Company the grounds of the city officials are hardly tenable. The company early in the fall notified its patrons and warned them of prospective conditions which were expected to obtain relative to the gas supply. They were shown the extravasance of burning gas in extremely cold weather and were cautioned to make other provisions for fuel for the reason that a larger quantity of gas is required to produce the same amount of heat when burned at a low pressure than when burned at normal pressure and that if patrons used gas at low pressure their bills would be proportionately higher. The patrons were also notified that they would be expected to pay their bills as rendered for the gas as recorded by the meter. Now in all spirit of fairness, would it not have been far more appropriate for patrons who continued the use of gas and made no preparation general and to pay their bills, and to do great let them do it with the full capacity that which may attend to the bad is solely to the necessary precautions suggested by the law. With no intention of impure motion of the city of London matter in action will be many instances be used as a shock by any unscrupulous pattern to avoid payment of bills which if pos- sible the would have been pleased repeated, however just their bill- ing may have been. Mr Edwardton postmaster He has full power with it, createth himself and to the commissariat of the patrons of the fire and the post office department, and why his appointment is be opposed by the secretary this district is a public question to which no answer has yet been given. As the administration has given it out that in cases where postmaster have given also a satisfaction in allistering the office of the office, they would be retained, if this dispense the part of the president is at Mr. Edwardton will be re-credited. Mr Edwardton is among the most public men in Kansas and friends are legion. He was taken secretly of State and at a thorough and efficient office. He has lived in Wichita a number of years and is always foremost in continuing his time and means for the advancement of the public city along all lines; he is a public spirted citizen in every sense of the term. He has the confirmed habit of making friends and the splendid qualification of holding them when he gets them. If Mr Edwardton felt that the patrons of the Wichita post office preferred some one case for postmaster he would quietly and modestly retire from the fight, but he knows differently; he 1 5 by the many thousands of ma- rses of patrons of the Wichita post- ce, that appear on petition, volu- tely circulated by his friends, that the people are with him. M. Edwards' friends move in no too near place, the rich and the poor, the black and white, all with equal legality, unequivocally endorse- him W. C. Edwards for postmaster.

They teach domestic science, sewing, and music. President N. C. Bruce is working hard to make this institution a success. He succeeded in getting a few philanthropists to give the land and money to erect the first building. What is needed mostly at this time is money to erect new buildings and complete the They need a typewriter, as most all students should have a knowledge along this line. A good business policy should be pursued in all schools of this kind, as all farmers should have a business education. There are several farmers in this portion of the state. Several attended the meeting which is held in January of each year. J. G Graves, the potato grower, gave a very interesting talk on growing potatoes and cabbage.

HIGH MAC EARLAND Progressive Young Shawnee County Lawyer Presents a Money Saving Plan to Taxpayers—Would Cut Out All Fees. Hugh MacFarlane is a candidate for Prolate Judge at the Republican primai- tion August 6, 1912, to succeed W. P. Schoch, who is now serving his second term, having been twice courteled. Nicola and is in first place to a lateate putting all county office on a fixed salary and have all fi- tures to the county. It has been estima- ted that fifteen or twenty thousand d- lars could be saved the taxpayers of this county each year by the pla The office of Prolate Judge in the neighborhood of ten thousand lays a year, under the fee system which means that a man will hold that office for four years. I been paid in the neighborhood $10,000 for his service by the person of this county. Mr Ma Parkland is a Shawnee man born, trained, educated as attested to practice law in the city of Iopera. He is making a campaign and will see each vote of one election. He is very popular with the people who know him and has a large following in the county. JOHN H. HON. HUGH MAC FARLAND. MacFarland has printed his platform from which we quote: "Dear Sir: I am making a campaign for the office of Probate Judge on the platform of 'All Officers on a Fixed Salary and All Pees to the County Treasurer.' In my first announcement, made November 17th, 1911, I advocated this policy and promised to lend my support towards having a salary bill passed at the next legislature, and to have the same put into effect at once. Since that time there has been considerable agitation on this question. It seems to me that there can be but one side to this controversy--put all officers on a fixed salary and save the taxpayers of this county fifteen or twenty thousand dollars a year. "It is not generally known that the Probate Judge of Shawnee county is not governed in the amount he receives, by the same law which governs other Probate Judges in this state. The amount received by the Probate Judge in this county is governed by a special law, which applies only to Shawnee county. Under this special law he is compelled to take no report and gives to account of any kind in reference to his fees. He keeps as compensation for his services all fees collected by him. Several candidates for county offices have since my announcement expressed themselves as being satisfied to accept a stipulate salary and to foe. Note have done this because they see the failure and justice the office. The reason is, if a case of incident or suicide a court is called of life should not be met, in several cases men hold that position who are not practising physicians would not be able to receive them. Therefore to his trial present such a client, a physician should be elected to this office. He has practiced in Touchek for several years and is a host of friends and has good practice. He is a member of the Masonic K of P. Red Men and several other organizations for the betterment of mankind.

COLLEGE NORTON would not that it be a with it the people for a and term He will, and attend the time The Day Weekly Herald, "Sheriff Norton is not used as a candidate for sheriff for the second time, which will pledge, be his last appearance in public the fifth "Sheriff Norton has obtained the offer, and by his strict attention to business and his goodly department has met the fax and custom of every citizen of Shawnee county. "Sheriff Norton is much better qualified for the duties of the office than he was two years ago. He is entitled to a second motion by all rules of custom and fair play. "From reports that are being received from all over the county in his favor, his friends feel justified in claiming his nomination by a large majority." The Paul Jones Monthly Magazine pays this high tribute to its nothing ability: "A public official is generally estimated by the record he has made in his official capacity. That the record of Col J. D Norton and his conduct of the sheriff's office has been prominently satisfactory to the people of Shawnee county is evidenced by the fact that, having been appointed by the Governor to fill out an unexpired term, he was, in 1916, nominated by the Republicans and elected by a large majority, which indicates his great popularity with the people When Col. Norton took the oath of office to faithfully execute and discharge the duties thereof and to uphold the maj- city of the law, he was conscientious and patient, and during the last two years he has been shefft it has been his aim and purpose to uphold the dignity and supremacy of the law, so far as it lies in his power. We do not congrate when we say that Col. Norton has been one of the best sheffters. Shawner county has ever had. He is a quiet, yet an energetic and untiring worker, who believes that success along any line can only be obtained by defattible energy and hard work. Col. Norton is an ardent progressive Republican, who believes in the judicial principles of the Republican party and the doctrine of equal rights, and privileges to all. He is a compassionate, liberal minded to the people of this county in this system. Others have done not cause they were forced it, under the stress of public opinion, after the salaries received under the fee system had been made known to the public. If not so to it that every man year to for is sincerely in favor of a safety law and has pledged himself to support it, then will be no organized body next year, as there was last, to defend this measure. "HUGH MAC LARLAND" CORONER Dr. L. H. Rimelart, where other is in the Milk-building, announces himself as a candidate for concession on the Republican ticket at the next primary election. He is a man who stands well in the community, and says a physician should be elected to broad-ranged man, who as a public school, has always been just and fair in his treatment of everybody. The example of Shawnee county are especially useful to Col. Norton for the consideration he has given them in the appointment of Mr. Charles Lyth and Mr. H. L. Monroe, deputies, two most efficient and capable men, and he can rest assured that the colored people will show their appreciation whenever an opportunity presents itself. Col. Norton is a general and affable gentleman of the highest integrity." KANSAS CITY, KAN. Mrs. Belle Young, one of the old citizens here, has passed away.

The experience of Ward Speckman, one of the tellers of the Merchants National Bank, who was arrested and confessed to using nine thousand dollars of the bank's money through the past six years, should be a lesson and a warning to the many young men who hold responsible positions and are living a fast life, as well as to the officers and heads of institutions who allow these young fellows too much liberty without calling them on the carpet every once in while with a wholesome lecture. Whenever a man begins to spend more than in salary in high living, look out to his downfall. Speckman is to be pitted rather than conserved, for the reason that he was a poor counter to who came to the city to earn a livelihood. He was placed in a responsible position. Thinking that, being committed with a bank, it was his duty to seek the association of bankers' sons and men of that class, who had plenty to keep them in gay society, warn Speckman wanted to keep up. He joined the Bills, Population club and other such social organizations, where men of large income and prosperous business could keep up with ease. He took to keep up. The result was he studied up a scheme to use the bank's money by holding back money from different depositors. He went from bad to worse. He mortgaged his wife's home and spent the money. To redeem it he took $1500 at one time last week, which told his timely undoing. If the officers had watched him when he began to join these organizations, and how he spent his money—for it is said he lavished it on all whom he thought stood high in the social world, as fame as a spender is what he liked to hear. These same men who had plenty of money to spend ought not to have accepted anything from him, knowing his position. It was wrong. He made it pleasant for the boys in his class who would enjoy his supposed rise in the social world. They would talk about how he did not care for a dollar. All this did more to drive him to get more money. He became money mad. Now, what is the result? A broken-hearted wife and a painful child. Where, oh! where are the boys and men who feasted off poor Ward Speckman? None so good as to go his bond. All have fled. All that can be heard on all sides is, "He was a good fellow, but ought to have known better." He now languages in Shawnee county fail with the Federal Penitentiary staring him in the face. Young men, let Ward Speckman's case be a warning. I live within your means; he honors, upright.

Each ... falschool an label and cash says that the other should be imprisoned or dislabeled. Governor Stabb charges that Mr. Dawson held up the resignation of L. S. Tamquay, justice of the peace in Charleston county. The Governor says that "if disbursement proceedings are not provided for such candidaus conduct they ought to be." He says he "is forced" to the conclusion that Mr. Dawson is an unwilling prosecutor, whose counsel is unmuchable and valueless. Attorney General Dawson makes a hot rejoinder in which he date the Governor to call a session of the Legislature, when it may be determined who is the unruly one so that he "may had rummed out of the public service." Then he enumerates the charges that he will prefer against the Governor. There are twelve counts in his arrangement, which includes charges of libel and falschool, withholding evidence, neglect of public duties and hatching political mischief against federal and state officers. Attorney General Dawson's sensational letter follows: Hon. W. S. Stubbs, Governor of Kansas, State House: Dear Governor; In view of your statements in the papers contradicting mine an charging me with various detritions, it must be apparent to the people of Kansas that one of their two principal officers, the Governor of the Attorney General, is unfit to hold a public office; and I dare you to convone the Legislature so that the unworthy one may be drummed out of the public service. If you will do this I will prefer charges against you as follows: I That you have publicly and criminally blamed the Attorney General by the most groundless and malicious fall chords. 2. That you have encouraged the juntists and saloonkeepers to believe that they would have an easy time under the present Attorney General's administration, and have added and abetted them to escape punishment by forwarning them of prosecutions in Concordia Kansas City, Wichita and elsewhere. That within the last few days you have to warrant the bridge trust of projected prosecution and have given it a chance to get under cover and conceal its crimes. 1. That you have willfully conceived crimes and criminals by withholding evidence and information in your prosecution from the county attorney of Cloud, Nebraska, Leavenworth, Wyandotte, Crawford, Chicopee and Sedgewick counties. 7. That you have diligently neglected your public duties at every time, and lied around the city of Lawrence for several months last summer, planning, and frustrate the work of the Attorney General and seeking to claim for every thin date of attempted by him. 8. That for nearly two years you talked and implicated to cause a state hospital to be erected at Rosedale as provided by law. 9. Lost on Memorial Hall 7. that it is violation of your spice promises and oath of office to give the state a business administration, you lobbied and boasted in the construction of a Soldier's Memorial hall, badly getting the collar dug, while another institution, the Santa Fe, completed a ten story building alongside. 8. That you have neglected, and still neglect, to take the proper steps In a bindon to all the above, the Informational Conference has provided wide discussion throughout the country and promised to be of invaluable service in helping forward the mass of the native in Africa and the man of African count wherever he may be found. AND BBS CLASH: and Puts Some Perteinent the Govenor. 10. That you have relegated for a long time and still neglect to cause the occasion of a state school of Muncie at Went City as required by law. 11. That for many weeks together you have负备 in your office hatching political mischief against state and federal officials who hold aloft from you and your political machine; and that you continuously and for long pages of time neglect the most commonplace and imperative duties of your office duties to examine the state treasury; to meet with the ex- cative council, to sign parents to school lands, notarial commissions, citizen patrons for prisoners entitled by law thereto at the close of their terms, and you have most flagrantly violated your plain duty under the law to report to the legislature concerning your pardon cases. 11. That for two years—your entire first term—you tolerated the open, notorious and flagrant violation of the prohibitory law in Crawford and Chetokee counties. 12. That in view of all these and many other wrongs detention, oppressions, tensions and usurpations, you have forfeited your right to the office of Governor and ought to be impeached and ousted therefrom. All this, my car Governor, and more I will be prepared to show if you will call the Legislature together and give me a chance. And as to what you can charge against me, just "lay on McDuff!" I do assure you that if an ouster suit would be against a constitutional state officer, we would have a new Governor in ten days. Yours truly, Following is the statement given out by Governor Stubbs; "Attorney General Dawson's statement that he did not, in his official capacity as Attorney General, deceive me in connection with the resignation of L. S. Tanquary, justice of the peace in Columbus, last July, is false and without foundation. The following are the exact facts in connection with the case." "When I appointed Sheriff Bramlette to succeed Sheriff Ralph Martin in Chittucka county we were in urgent need of a court that could be dependent upon in the enforcement of law. There was evidence upon which Justice of the Peace Tampany could beusted from office. I was advised by reputable citizens that Tampany would resign and probably had already sent in his resignation. I waited several days expecting it, but it did not arrive. Finally, about July 25, I wired him as follows: "Mr I is Imaginary. I will accept your resignation if you send it in at once. If not, I shall ask the Attorney General to cust you Answer by wye tonight." "Nationally, July 29, Attorney General Dawson told me over the tea phone that Lampary had written him in reply to the above letter, stating that he would not resign until August 10 for Immunity to resign atmg that we could get him out of the quaker that was can by these proceedings. In immediately after this telephone conversation with Mr. Dawson I dictated the following letter: "I & Dawson: You are hereby requested to immediately commence court proceedings against L. S. Fanquary, Justice of the peace, Columbus, Kan." "In connection with the above request for ouster proceedings I wrote Mr. Dawson as follows: "Inclose herewith find written request to get to your office to commence proceedings to us at 1. S. Lanquay, justice of the peace at Columbus. I do not have any faith whatever in his promises that he will resign in two weeks or on the 15th of August. He has already delayed this resignation and given the people of Columbus a understanding that the resignation has been sent in several days ago. The people of Columbus believed last week that he had already sent in his resignation, and so advised me Sah man as Mr. Tracewell, Andy Sharner and the best citizens of that county were masked in this matter. I therefore do not believe it is wise to delay proceedings necessary to remove him from office, and which, if the information I have receive is correct, is highly deserved." Dawson and the Resignation "After Mr. Dawson had received the above request to immediately commute outer proceedings against Tamayne, he called me over the telephone and, to my utter astonishment, asked me to me for the first time that he had received Tamayne's resignation several days before and that it was then in his possession. "I directed Mr. Dawson to make hereby him over the resignation to in Government's office. He did so and it was appointed to see the Tamayne with in one hour of the time that Atto. General Dawson had asked in wait until August 15, on the grounds that he would be the best and quickest way to get rid of Tamayne." Addressed to Stubby "The resignation was addressed plainly to me, was unconditional, an the Attorney General had no authority whatever under the law to accept or reject it. It reads as follows: "Columbus, Kan., July 22, 1911.—W. P. Stubbs, Governor of the State of Kansas, Topoka, Kan.—Dean Governor. Owing to failing health and bad heating, I feel that it is best for me to resign as justice of the peace of the city of Columbus. I therefore tender you my resignation, to take effect as soon as my successor has qualified, and I trust you will make an appointment at once." "Yours truly, "L. S. TANQUARY! "I have in my possession not only this resignation, but also the envelope in which it was enclosed and which was postmarked July 22, 9 p.m. Columbus, Kan., addressed to John S Dawson, Attorney General, which proves conclusively that Mr. Dawson had been secretly withholding this resignation from me for several days and that his recommendation to me over the telephone asking me to wait until the 15th of August for Tanquary to resign was a false statement of facts purposely intended to deceive the chief executive of a state whose laws he has taken a solemn oath to support. Governor Suggests Disbarment. "I cannot imagine greater official implicit or more scoutful conduct on the part of any lawyer and if disbarment proceedings are not provided for such scandalous conduct, they ought to be. "I have no time, neither do I esire, to find fault with Mr. Dawon personally, but the public is entitled to all the plain, indefputable facts in this case. In view of all the above facts, I am forced to the conclusion that Mr. Dawson is an unwilling prosecutor whose counsel is unreliable an value less. I am therefore, compelled constantly to employ attorneys, not only to defend the interests of the state against his attacks, but to do tate work thats should have been done by his office."

The giant Limbayia berry, a far eastern branch of the blackberry genus, is coming into its own and achieving a great popularity after a setback of a deep ground because of its slow propagation. It has a strong root system and differs from the ordinary blackberry in that it does not readily sucker, the new one grows starting at or near the root down, generally from the main stalk or cane. These canes, if permitted, will often reach a length of fifty foot in a season. Fruit laterals from three to five feet long are sent out from these canes and are gracefully pendent on the outside RECINEN 4. HU LAS 19. LACE 11 BRE. of properly trained vines. Rather late in the soil, after the frosts are over, these hiatus become a mix of delicate pink bloom, which later gives way to an immense crop of very sweet, almost corneous black berries. The fruit ripens from July to November, and through hanging in clusters on the outside of the vine it is simply shaded from sunburn by leaves of a beautiful olive shade, rather silvery underneath. From three to five years are required for the Himalayan to reach perfection, so that growers should not be hasty in passing judgment. The vine should be considered a fruit tree and taken care of accordingly. It has always made good if given half a chance. The Himalaya is adaptable to almost every variety of soil and climate, the former having more influence over prolificacy than the latter. The fact that it is succeeding in Florida, Alabama, New Mexico, California, New Jersey, New York, Michigan, Missouri, Montana and many other states speaks well for its future. It is a perennial to a marked degree, vines having passed through a winter 21 degrees below zero unprotected. The fruit compares favorably in size with the best of commonly known blackberries and as a shipper far outclasses any of them. Fresh berries have been shipped over a thousand miles the past season and brought good prices. FARM+SCIENCE=WEALTH. Dr. Hopkins, Illinois soil expert, has hammered home the theory that you cannot keep taking everything out of the soil without putting something back. His dictum has been justified by recent experiments conducted by the University of Illinois, which show that with the use of phosphorus crops have been doubled. On the same farm the wheat yield where phosphorus was not used was twenty-four bushels an acre; with the phosphorus the yield jumped to an average of fifty-eight and a half bushels. Farming is being rapidly recognized to be as much of a science as the most intricate manufacturing business. The scientific farmer is the one who will make a fortune where his ancestors made a bare living. Phosphorus For Wheat. Experiments in soil treatment have been made on the University of Illinois experiment plots on the N. Noble King farm in McLean county, and by the use of phosphorus fertilizer the wheat yield was more than doubled. The average yield on all plots which were not treated with phosphorus was twenty-four bushels on more. The average yield on the fertilized plots was fifty eight and one half bushels on acre. This is the climate of the results that have been obtained on the experiment plot year after year and more than bears out the propiganda of Dr. C. G. Hopkins, the university soil expert, who holds that crops may be doubled with intelligent treatment. Sunflowers Useful. Sunflowers are attractive, and a place is always more homelike when they are planted in abundance near it. Sunflowers give dignity and charm to the farmstead, and their presence denotes taste and culture of the homemaker. The seed makes good poultry food. Farm and Garden STORED CORN SHRINKAGE. A 147 Day Test Shows Loss of 1,970 Pounds In 500 Bushels. To those engaged in the handling of grain the natural shrinkage of shelled corn while in storage and in transit is a matter of prime importance and often a source of dispute because of shortage reported at time of receipt at warehouse and a further loss at date of final rule. In order to determine the amount of shrinkage or loss of weight occurring in shelled corn containing various percentages of moisture while in storage in elevators or during transit in cars the department of agriculture, in cooperation with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company and the Baltimore chamber of commerce, has conducted an experiment with 500 batches of shelled corn, the test beginning Jan. 5, 1917, and lasting 117 days. The corn used was taken from a regular our receipt and was left in the wooden hopper of a 2000-litre scale at Elevator 11 of the Baltimore and Ohio system at Locust Point, Baltimore. At the time of storage the moisture content was 185 per cent and at close of the test 117 per cent or a loss of 41 per cent. The weight per bushel had dust used from 517 pounds to 50 pounds, and the total loss of weight was 1570 pounds, or slightly more than 3 per cent. ALWAYS USE PIECE GATE. Little More Trouble to Make, but it'e Handy and It Lets. Mr. C. A. Thomas in the Homestead gives an idea for an up to date two place gate that should be carefully studied by every enterprising farmer. It is made wide enough to allow a bay rack to pass through. The small section of the gate makes the handling easier when a person wishes to pass through, besides lessening the strain that would come on the gate were it made in one section. The larger section of the gate shuts against a short post, which is set in CHEAP BUT INVALUABLE GATE the ground and sawd in such a man- ner as to leave a back for the gate to shut against, as illustrated. The short 2 by 4 is held in place by strap iron clips and holds the gate rigid. In do- ing chores, when passing through it, the 2 by 4 is slipped back on the larger gate and the hook used to keep the gate closed. WAY TO GET RICH QUICK. A farmer bought a sow and eight pigs over a year ago for 840. He wintered her mainly on alfalfa, and last spring she produced eleven pigs. He sold the pigs, two litters, when fat for 814.40, which wasn't all profit, of course. The sow after a summer on alfalfa and blue grass has twelve pigs now. Next! Let Children Make Money. Why not give the boys-yes, and the girl, too-a little spending money patch? Let them have all they raise on it and you help them to dispose of their crop. This kind of treatment goes a long way toward content and happiness. Live Stock Notes. Nine times out of ten "slobbering" is caused by rough or sharp edges of the teeth irritating the sides of the mouth. Many horses after reaching fifteen years are bothered by their teeth. An English remedy to prevent horses from gnawing mangers and feed troughs is to give the wood a coat of tar, put on with an old broom while hot. It is claimed that this is a sure cure for an annoying and destructive habit. Boys and girls should be taught to milk the cows, separate the cream and churn. It is a great handicap to children to rear their ignorant of such necessary work around the home. Let them have care of the cows and teach them to treat the animals kindly. The mysterious actions of a horse which whirls and bites himself savagely are due undoubtedly to the presence of worms in unusual numbers. The rubbing of the tail is another symptom. A wise course of treatment is to give a plint of raw oil or four drums of aloe in a bath. After it has ceased to act give a vermifuge. . The milk house or milk room should be separate from the barn, so that no odors from the barn will penetrate it. It need not be expensive, but should be built so that sunlight and ventilation are not obstruction. It should be provided with plenty of cold water and also with some method of providing hot water or steam for cleaning the utensils. It should have smooth walls and ceilings, such as can easily be kept clean. The milk house should not be used as a general storeroom. G. E. Brewer is confined to his home with la grippe A. D.

SAVED FROM A LIFE OF SLAVERY Story of a Russian Wife's Love and Devotion. In the Ural mountains, between Rus- sia and Siberia, is the largest manu- factory of a nation in the world. It is own- ed and operated by the Russian government, and its workman live and die within the heart of the factory. Once entered in the Urs of the com- pany an operative is hidden goodbye forever to the outside world. Dimitri Nikahovich, a young Rus- sia man, having been out of employment for a long while, saw his wife and children start to fore him. "There is but one chance for our lives," he said to his wife. "I must go to the iron works. There I shall receive regular wages, what I am send to you." In such a case we protested. They might or not rather than that the husbands of that man should be deed to them forever No he said The winter was at a time and if they escaped start than they would surely die by kill Kissing his letters who were too young to understand what he was about to do, and saving his smoothing wife and that he went to the iron works and cut it himself is a work man. Four years ago The wife and children of Mr. Smith knew that he was still alive they received his wages re. did know that they or some f. the money was not to be lost. One day, a new man was entered at the factory. "I was a young, delicate man," to me and was given the lightest it was to be done. One day, a waitman, who was entered and a time of Nicholas Artemichus, "to beside Dimitri Nikov to handle some shot that had just been rolled, when Nicholas whispered. "Be at the west wall tonight at 8 o'clock, midway between the fifth and sixth center towers. Nikanoil is established, stared at the speaker. No attention he had the presence of land to hold his peace. That night Nikanoich walked, as was permitted, from 8 to 9 o'clock between the factory buildings and the wall, and when the ball tang at 9 and the other's strike had disappeared he saw Artemis be choking him in a dark corner formed by the contiguous buildings behind, the large stones of the buildings touched, leaving a recess behind them. Artemis's head and shoulders only could be seen Nikanoich cast a frosty glance around, and, making sure that no one saw him, he sprang over the stone into the recess. The thought that his wife had entered this place to be with him and that she had left their children filled him with alternate dishes of toy and sorrow. For a moment husband and wife were locked in each other's arms. Then Anna rushed; "You had scarcely left us when my Aunt Martha died and left me 20,000 rubles. The first year I spent getting possession of the money and the remaining three in planning and preparing for your escape. Two years ago I began to dig a tunnel from the river bank to a point near the spot where we stand. It was completed before I entered this place, and since I have been here I have come to this corner at night and dig till I struck it, carrying the earth away in my pockets and keeping the entrance in this corner, where no one ever comes, or escaped. I have sent our children beyond the borders. If we escape we may join them and find a house in America." With that she drew from under her wooden shint in a case knife and began to dig in a few minutes she had uncovered a square piece of wood and, lifting it, entered a perpendicular tunnel not much larger than her body. From this saw another, dipping slightly from the horizontal, Anna, followed by her husband, taking in, way through this hard until thin. It was cramped at first, but grew, or as they advanced. The cocktail was on the river bank a few feet above the water and cove, with loops and brush. Just before emerging they passed through a space sufficiently large to contain a row boat, in which there were a pair of oars. "Those numbers are still Ann, 'have been nailed for nearly in your, and the dothsister for her not, still, they will serve us as past the river guards with our use of rowlog." "How did it be this lost in here?" they floated continent, at times pull- rers, at times holding wa- ter, at times on the one hand the collects of which one had not been at these lovers, and at distant border be- re the little ones they both other the night and tended and in a hunged their attire we then started for wouldly spoon What a faint idea of WICHITA ADS ROUTE SIGNALS Charges in routing have necessitated a slight rearrange of the colored lights indicating the rhute of cars.

Negro Champion is Much Sought After for Bouts of Limited Number of Rounds. Chicago, Jan. 14. Walter St. Denis and Tom O'Rourke, both of New York; James Coffroth of San Francisco, the Cleveland Athletic club and the West Side Athletic club of New Orleans, all are after Jack Johnson for a tenure a bout to be held some time next month. The dusky champion has been offered a straight guarantee by the five of from $15,000 to $20,000. Joe Janette, Tony Rose and Al Palzer have been mentioned as opponents in each case. Johnson has refused to consider each and every offer because the guarantee is not big enough the colored boxer demanding $10,000. John insists that he wants to buy and be willing to give any and all a run the till with his own caries, but he wants his price. He has sold him articles allow both premises until May 1 to take on any job and the champion has said that will be the man at least because that time if the property opportunity arises Johnson has denied his uprarity at 9:00am. These promoters have tried to make Johnson see that it would be best to impossible to draw a good house in a limited round bout, at the Negro has to maid of firm in his demands. The title holder has intimated that he would accept an offer in San Francisco at a slightly less targe, providing the coast promoters do not pick out Joe Deanette as the opponent. Coeffath has been staging an elimination journey, trying to find a suitable opponent for "Jil Artha" but the entrances, so far, have been below the standard which the cast promoter thinks necessary of take the title. Gunb at Smith now heads the list, having fought his way through Denver Jack Geyer, Charley Horn, and Tom King. Cleveland promoters want to stage a Johnson-leafette bout and are willing to make Johnson a straight grant amount of $15,000. Also, Jeanette's manager is said that he will bet Johnson $5,000 on the side that leafette outgifts the title holder. The would take Johnson's and $5,000, providing he showed to advantage. Ohrson showed how little he thought of such small money by turning down the offer. New Other as loving booster, now a stage a match between Johnson and Paler and would make it a limited team pair, but they refuse to make an absolute guarantee, offering rather the possibilities of a $25,000 house.

DIN THINKS BOXING ALL RIGHT But New York Executive Says Frawley Law Should Be Repealed. (By Robert Edgren.) N. Y. York, January 20.—Gov. Dix is not unalterably opposed to boxing, neither as a pastime or as a sport. His sense to have the Trawley law repealed is based upon the fact that he believes the law does not regulate boxing as it should be regulated. Mog. under statute circumstances I have marched the sport since the Trawley law went into effect. No law under which such things an happen should be." It cannot upon the statute here. I have to give it to his office at the navy captain there in thing of the ny code type about him he is straight broad-shouldered man carries himself like an athlete. It can be no thinking dislike for the rough edges of life that has seen the one-handed position to the same. We sat down in a corner office "I have a desire to abolish boxing," he said, without any attempt at it or parry. "I like boxing. I have not put on the gloves myself for use and pleasure. I think that is a very good thing for every man to know how to box. Every American should know how to defend himself when the occasion demands it and rather prefer conditions boxing is a very athletic port." "hat is true," said the governor. "But that's a different matter. I oppose that law because it is not effective. It did not downwat was expected of it. The events at Madison Square Garden last year law went into operation were proof enough of that. If such things are soiled under the law there is not it in the law itself, and it should be repeated." "It the Athletic Commission since that timethas made rules and has erfaced them," I replied. "It would be imposed for another brutal execution like that the Martinez Flynn bout to take the force, under the all it." Law should cover everything. "Very well," replied the man, "that the law itself should evering I serve you would be in the discretion of a man I am detained there are various cases. I must at once provide such details of the law in order to the weight of the law used in contest and examination. I have provided that the gloves shall not be less than eight inches. This is clear.

"Then it is not the sport of boxing that you oppose?" "Not at all," said the governor, "It is a plain matter of law, not of sentiment. The presein law, which has been a failure, should be repealed. That would leave everything tjust as its tool before the Prawley law was passed. Then, if the legislature wishes to pass another law which would regulate and control boxing in such a manner that there would be not any offensive about it, that would be an other matter entirely."

Negro Presidential Appointees Called to White House for First Time in History to Confer With President Laft on Matters Pertaining to the Race's Benefit—Discuss the Black Man's Needs Throughout the Land. Washington, Jan. 24. For the first time in the history of presidents, the colored presidential appointees were invited to the White House, last Wednesday evening, by President Taft, to confer with him upon those questions which most affect the race. The colored appointees themselves asked for the conference, and the President not only cheerfully, but cordially, invited them to the White House proper. For an hour, on Wednesday evening, it is reported, they sat with him in his library and discussed questions important to their race. At the end of that hour the President invited them to return the next (Thursday) evening to continue the discussion, and, complying with his most cordial invitation they return, and until no lock land before and discussed with him the complaints and needs of their race expressed by colored men throughout the country. The gentlemen who composed the party were: Wm H. Lewis, assistant attorney general; Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the navy; J. C. Napier, registrar of the treasury; H. Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds, and Whatnell McKenlay, collector of customs here in Washington. In stating the object of their call, Mr. Tyler referred to the fact that the race had no representatives in other branch of Congress, no member of the cabinet, and that their people expected them, as race representatives here, to lay before the President their complaints of discriminations and their hopes and expectations, and that they would prove relevant to the duty to him as appointees if they failed to properly represent to him just how the race felt upon certain questions, which they believed he should know, and that a heart to heart talk ought to prove helpful. The President was told that the most important things which concerned the race were his southern policy bearing on Negro appointments in the South, civil service discriminations, courts' possible construction of the war amendments and state legislation abridging the rights and privileges of the race, and lynchings. It is learned that Messrs. Napier, Johnson and McKinlay, as southern men, opened the discussion of the southern policy and in a strong, earnest manner told the President how their people in the South had been, and are, discriminated against because of a wrong interpretation of his policy on the part of white subordinates, and they cited specific cases. Messrs. Lewis and Tyler, northern appointees it is learned, advised the President just how the colored voters in the northern states sympathized with their disfranchised brothers in the South, and in an equally strong and earnest manner made a plea for a rule applicable to all men alike, without reference to race or color. Each assured the President that their understanding of its inaugural reference to filling offices in the South clearly did not preclude the appointment of Negroes, but that they feared subordinate officials had construed his remarks to mean that under no circumstances whatever could a Negro be appointed to or advanced in office in the South. In the President's reference to the of discussed southern policy. It was clear, to the gentlemen present, that he had never intended that such a construction should be placed upon it, and cited places in the South where Negro officials were personate grata to the whites, and whose administration of office was honest and highly intelligent. He gave every evidence, it is said, of being deeply interested in the race, and of being really desirous of promoting its advancement in every possible way. He left the gentlemen to believe that his intentions are that, when all things are equal, the color of a man's skin, not in nationality, shall not weigh against him, and it is reported he even requested the gentlemen to submit to him speculate cases of discriminations because of color, asuring them that he would cause an investigation to be made. It is learned that Mr. Lewis told the President that the southern policy, not as he believed the President meant it, but as interpreted and executed by subordinates, which positively precluded the appointment of a colored man in the South under any circumstance, could never be defended by the Negro now or in any period; that the Negro posted the same sentiments, feelings, hopes and ambitions possessed by his white brothers beside whom he lived; that with the intelligence possessed by the race, their material progress, it could never again consent to be a subject race. The President was clear in his opposition to lynching, and expressed a willingness to pronounce against it. On the matter of jim-crow cars, he gave them to understand that he had never been in sympathy with decisions upholding that iniquitous law, and he condemned all laws denying the right of suffrage. With the major problems that are continually pressing upon a president, for solution or action, the dispensing of patronage is always most largely a departmental matter which a president, except in cases of the larger offices, is not cognizant of. And this is more true of President Taft than any previous president because he refuses to pay politics in making appointments. President Taft, like all his predecessors, cannot be expected to know of discriminations unless they are brought to his attention, and he cannot be expected to know of community, class, or race complaints unless land before him, as did the Negro representatives lay their race's complaint before him last week. No set of white officials were ever more cordially received, more courteously treated or more attentively listened to by any president than were these five colored officials by President Taft. After conferring an hour with him on Wednesday evening, the face that he invited them to return the following evening for a further discussion indicated his intent in the race's welfare, and his desire to know all and to help right wrongs if any exist. It is said that the confesses urged the President, when in occasion presented it self, to restate his views on language or clear that demeaned of people could have no problem with it is believed that he will do so. The President told his colored appointees that the race had been any part, and that it was surprising that they had remained patient so long. He gave them to understand that his largest sum was to assist their advancement, and to, if possible, soften any and all asperity existing between the races, without injustice to other races. The interchange of views, the perfectly frank but respectful manner with which the five Negro officials presented their people's case, it is believed, touched the President and will work for good. And President Taft has at a new and helpful precedent in calling colored presidential appointees to the White House to learn how their people feel, and what their people want and need. The news that Messrs. Lewis, Tyler, Napier, Johnson and McKinley had held two conferences with President Taft, at the White House, on two successive evenings, has set all colored Washington talking, and the President is being warmly praised for his consideration of the race in holding such a conference.

It Stands For Everything Attractive, Wholesome and Prontable. For the restless toy or girl who wants to go away from the farm and get out into the big world I do some thing, no better lit of extract reading can be found than this extract from the New York Independent. "The new farm children" it says, "live a third dispassionant life. The sciences began to take hold of the land at least fifty years ago but there was an off clearing necessary. The transition period was protracted mainly because the land was already in possession of a ripe of farmlands that must die off. with the work of total college applied the sciences to the trade and to crops and to animals life on the farm twenty five years ago. It was snow work, not only to saw the farmer but to investigate disease and then to apply. The use is now rapidly falling into the hands of men who are alive to the great fact that production has never yet approached its maximum. The orchard has not this while thanks to mothers and dependants to one in two and more enthousiasm upon it. Gradually it is more abundant that not a thing can be was on the land without it. It is not by any means the only pertinent loss, but his wake and spirit of it is still with him and information to motor conditions. The immense and the oft-obvious are as necessary today as the plow and the land. The routine is not without stairs and the wheel he will out biotching or dressing, rather it will row it the trough have to do the farm in. "I have the department of forty trays in cry and the eight dozen of new potatoes on the land have been at the same time in every department of the home in the house as we are in the burn in family tales the price of man and the help problem is now driving us to a still more complete age of new alum. "There is lot on earth so available today as it is of American farm boy or girl. They have been fresh at beautiful stations while the trees and poles are involved in their work, and is it not is absolutely abolished." "Nothing can be grimmed any longer by quitting the first. It stands for everything that is attractive, whole, some and productive, but at the same time it stands for the new and the stimulating. Country life cannot be made than, unless it was truly savers itself from advantages that are freely offered." WILD MUSTAFO GREAT PEST. Not Useful Like Its Eatable Cousins, but an Indestructible Menace. About it is trouble-free a word as the farmer the word over his to deal with is the chardock or wild mustard. It is point in the extreme and, unlike its black and white cousins, is not only worthless but harmful. About the only way to control it is to use a spray A made up of either a 2 per cent solution of copper sulphate or a 15 per cent solution of iron sulphate. The quantity needed is from dition to twenty gallons to the nore, and American green growers so after it with a sort of watering cart. It is particularly obvious in wheat fields, not only thicking growth, but making the harvesting of the crop a matter of great difficulty. A wideawake farmer noticed that his creek, if damned at a certain place, would produce a big foot waterfall. He built a ditch and put in a water wheel—a shovel turbine that yielded twenty-five horsepower. Over the water wheel he built a powerhouse in which he placed a dynamo for the water wheel to run. The electricity was wired 1,700 feet to the farm buildings. Then he put his electricity to work in every possible place about the premises. He heated and lighted the house did the cooking and the washing and ironing did the sweeping and dusting heat eggs and at three different speeds too—turned the ice cream freezer and in so much ventilated the house with fans. Now with a vacuum milking the chine he milks twenty cows, two at a time; drives the cream separator, churns, pumps water into every room in the house and into the stall of each horse and cow, drives lathes and drills in a workshop drives a circular saw to cut wood and drives an enclosure cutter. It pays to be up to date. The more rich an amour. At two years old he is to some sidereale work and will from that age on make a profit over and above his fixed and expense bill in the value of his labor and at the same time be growing more valuable until four or five years old, at which age he will command the top of the market in his age class.
