A Heroic Emporia Girl Saves
Two People from Death.
Atchison, Oct. 2C At its last meeting
E. C. Johnson post, G. A. Jt, passed reso
lutions condemning the members ct the
board of metropolitan police commission
ers of Atchison for their alleged failure
to observe the Kansas law giving old ?ol
diers the preference in the matter of ap
pointments to office, other qualifications
being equal.
The action of the board is iu strong
contrast with the action of Atchison peo
ple peneraliy, who, a few months airo,
condemned the same board for tilling the
positions at their disposal with old sol
diers who were apparently incapable of
performing the duties to which they were
assigned.
At;the present time the department
employs eiiit patrolmen. Of this num
ber John WeKs, Keury Miller, Thomas
Harrington and George Midisou are old
soldiers, and Robert Dickerson was ap
pointed at the request of old soldiers, so
that the? have five of the eight patrol
men. There are two extra patrolmen.
One of these. F. 31. Hiuds, is an old sol
dier. The position of day jailer, now held by
Roland Anderson, was given to John H.
Kurth, an old soldier, but he worked a
day or two, and, finding his physical con
dition was such that he could not per
form the duties, he retired, and the board
appointed Samuel Clark, another old
Eoidier. who also resigned within a week.
David Baker, secretary of the pol.ee
bo;ird, i3 a member of E. C. Johnson post,

DIPHTHERIA AT SAUNA

Sai.ina. Oct. 26, The spread of diph
theria in the city during the past !?w
days has caused considerable alarm
among tnose who realize the dangers
which accrue from this dread disease.
The situation is all the more serious
because the majority oi people are ex
tremely careless in the matter. Children
from homes where the disease has gained
a loothoid mingie with other children oa
the streets; the quarantine of tho police
is ignored, and in many other ways the
malady may be desseminated simplv
through carlessnsss.
There have so Tar been eighteen cases
reported to the authorities. These are
not all that have occurred, however, as
it is known that there have been and are
now children sick with the diphtheria
who have never been reported by the at
tending physicians.

WHY I HATE WOMAN.
A Correspondent Gives a Let of Reasons
of Which ?iot All Are Reasonable.
From the Westminster Gazette.
A correspondent, whose sex we de
cline to divulge, sends us the follow
ing twenty-one answers to the above
question. "Why I Hate Vi'oman:"
1. Because she stabs me in the eye
with her parasol, offers no apology and
locks as if I did it.
2. Because she pushes for a place in
trains ar.,-1 omnibuses and, being in,
never makss any room for any other
people.
3. Because, in public, her prattle is
audible and unceasing, and includes
the biographies' and characteristics of
aii her friends by name.
4. Because she discusses frocks with
her sister oppoite, and describes fab
rics and fixings as if at her dress
maker's. 5. Because she climbs to the tops
of omnibuses, to descend from which
demards grace and decency
6. Because she thinks the only way
to make an omnibus stop is to prod
the driver, if she cannot reach the con
ductor. 7. Because, being of that class for
which omnibuses are cot, she spoils
her coachman and ruins her horses by
hpr ignorant or inconsiderate use of
them.
8. Because, being of any class, she
loves a "remnant day" and dotes on
bargains.
9. Because she displays her bag,
loses her handkerchief and carries her
purse in her hand
10. Because she recites, plays vio
lins and rides on bicycles.
11. Because she reads accounts of
weddings and lists of presents in la
dies' newspapers.
12. Because she walks three in a
row upon the pavement and expect3
every one else to make way for her.
13. Because she worships priests
and deacons, as well as illustrious per
sons and cavalry officers.
14. Because she is "fluent but not
lucid." and more concerned about the
number of her facts than the truth of
them.
15 Because, in nine cases out of ten,
she can neither sew, nor read aloud
nor make tea.
16. Because she is always writing
letters and wanting me and others to
answer them.
17. Be"Tjse she is the slave of fash
ion; and that not only in clothes, but
in art. music, manners, religion, flow
ers, jewelry, language and furniture.
18. Because she does not value any
thing simply because it is "good" (fol
lowing a fashion set in the days before
woman existed), but because it is
"worn," or "done," or even "talked
about."
19. Because If she is "nice," she is
sure to be conventional; and if she is
not conventional, she is generally not
nice.
20. Because if you tell her a secret,
she passes it on at once to other friends
"I don't mind telling you, dear, but
it mustn't go any further."
21. Because she is often careless as
to food, and thinks cheapness the first
requisite in wine.

King's New Discovery, as tho results
were almost marvelous in the case of my
wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist
church at Rives Janction she was brought
down with Pneumonia succeeding La

Although football has been crushed out
at Baker university the men who learned
the game upon her gridiron are almost
without exception playing star engage
ments with other teams, AH but two
of those who played on the famous '93
eleven are either coaching or are receiv
ing pay as players.
Harry Heller, right half back, is coach
iug and playing with the Denver Athle
tic club. George Toomey, full back, has
recently been engaged to coach the Uni
versity of Denver, where Prof. Cleaves,
formerly of Topeka, is teaching. Charles
("Ugly") Taylor, left end, is coaching
Union college, New York.
Those who are playing on teams for a
consideration are Clay Allen, quarter,
Ed Pendleton, center, Bert Potter, left
half, and II. & Farrar, right tackle, who
are playing their positions at North
western university, Chicago, with the
exception of Pendleton, who is playing
right guard. The Chicagoans are going
wild over their work. M. W. Games,
right end, is the right end for Kansas
state university. Thoma3, coach and
right guard, is still playing in Nebraska.
This leaves bjt two players, Atherton,
left guard, and Fogle, left tackle, who
have retired from the game. Besides
these a number of the substitutes and
second eleven players are coaching
minor teams.
NOT GIILIT.
Charjel Made Against L. D. C'abanne and
i T. Titus Unfounded. .
New York, Oct. 26. The action of the
racing board of the League of American
Wheelman in delaying taking action
upon the charges made against L. P.
C'abanne, F. J. TitU3 and C. M. Murphy,
the class B racing men of violation of
the racing rules, has given rise to the
opinion that the charges made against
these riders are groundless and that the
hesitancy of the board in announcing the
result of its investigations is due to its
reluctance to censure one of its
own board. F. J. Titus, who is impli
cated with Cab.iune and Murphy in ar
ranging a deal to arrange a race in Sr.
Louis in August, said that he believed
the racing board would reader a decis
ion upon tne charges within one week.
Titus eipects thai ttie accused riders
wili be fuiiy vindicated and atSruis that
uot a particle of tangible proof is in ex
istence to convict any of tlie men, while
ampie evidence has been submitted to
the racing board to exonerate the men
from the charges.

In a recent sermon on domestic evils
Dr. J. B. Shaw, of New York cfty, said
j that the greatest evil is the decadence
ol our home life, that is, the robbing
or our domestic circles of their home
element. He then adds: ' Taken as
they run, New York homes are wholly
unworthy of the name. They are not
more. They have no fireside glow,
no atmosphere of domesticity, none of
the restful serenity, content and con
geniality which characterized the
homes of our forefathers. Would you
know how inferior our homes are, com
pare them with those of London, a city
ruore than twice as larje as ours; com
pare them with the homes of our outiy-
ing country districts; compare them
i with the homes of our childhood, the
j memory of which is always a
I delight and a benediction. How
rarely do our families come
: together except at the table? How
j seldom do they form a circle and keep
j it iat.icl even for a single evening!
i How infrequent is an evening at h ires
I with the. young men a 1 women of Ihe
household! They seek their pleasures
I abroad. To sit down and spend a quiet
; hour with the family would be a "core"
and an affliction. Even the "old folks
! at home" have no attractions for them.
I In our homes, as well as out in the rush,
i of business, we are most of us restless,
uneasy and nervous. r ondness tor

Short Lives of Presidents.
From some recent life insurance sta
tistics it app- 's that the presidential
office is a fatal one.
At Washington's inauguration his
expectation' of life, accord ing to the in
surance tables, was sixteen years, but
he lived only ten years. The next sev
en presidents not only lived out their
expectation of life, but the two Adams
es, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Van
Buren, and Tyler exceeded it.
But Harrison fell nine years short of
his expectation of life. Polk seventeen,
Taylor eleven, Pierce seven. Lincoln
sixteen, Johnson twenty-two, Grant
seven, Hayes three, Garfield twenty
two, and Arthur fifteen. It is true that
Lincoln and ".... field were assassinated,
but the assassination of a president
should always be taken into account as
a possibility.
Our first eight presidents exceeded
their expectation of life forty-five years
in the aggregate, while their success
ors fell 110 years short. This may
seem strange when it is recollect
ed that the length of human life has
steadily increased during the century.
The compiler of these statistics sug
gests an explanation. He says:
"The fact seems plain to me that the
presidential office is becoming too
heavy a burden for any man to assume
without alnir-:t certain shortening of
his life. The responsibility is so great,
the tension so destructive, that I never
again expect to see a president survive
the full period of his natural expecta
tion." Evidently the presidential office is a
dangerous one, but very few of our pat
riotic statesmen will ever decline il
on that account. Atlanta Constitution

Youth's Companion: There are cir

A Prussian officer iu the conquered
province of Alsace one day visited a
chapel in the outskirts of a town.
Among the offerings of the devout
peasantry, he perceived a silver mouse,
which so excited his curiosity that he
asked an explanation of one of the
( natives.
"The story is." said the Alsatian,
"that an entire quarter of the town
was infested with an army of mice
which was a veritable plague. At last
a devout lady caused a silver mouse
to be made and offered it to the Virgin.
Shortly afterward every mouse disap
peared. The officer burst out laughing.
"What," he said rudely, ":, it pos
sible the people of this country are so
stupid as to believe such things?"
"Oh, no," quietly replied the
tian; "for if we did, we should

Training a Cavalry Ot
A curious story comes from Berlin.
A lieutenant of a Uhlan regiment made
a bet about six months ago that he
would train i young ox within six
months so that it would obey the word
of command like a cavalry horse. The
trial took place a few days ago on the
drill ground of the Uhlan barracks in
the Invalidenstrasse. It seemed at first
as though the officer would win the bet.
The ox trotted, galloped right, galloped
left, and did everything perfectly, till
It came to the vaulting. In this the
animal failed, and the officer lost the
bet. He was congratulated, however,
on his perseverance and success in

change, 36 Kansas Avea u.
Wheat Extreme dry weather con
tinues in the winter wheat states and
foreign cables continue to gain strength
and come higher as every day goes by.
The market opened this morning at an
advance of ''c over night, and although
the market was very quiet and a small
amount of business transacted, prices
held firm. Cudahy and the big bear
plungers made several at:-ernpta to
break the market, but Armour's brokers
picked up all offerings in a quiet way.
Last spring when May wheal was sag
gins around 53 cents, we wrote our trade
that we firmly believed it was on rock
bottom, and if bought as an investment,
and margined 3 cents, would hold good
through the worst and make handsome
profits. The market promptly vindicated
our judgment, and those who acted
promptly on our judgment were givei
an opportunity to clote their . deals
ith a net profir of $300 on every 1,'JUO
bushels, or every $3J invested. Now we
wish to go on record again as saying
that wheat is a good purcua- e, and if the
drouth is not broken soon will cell higher,
than it has before in years. The short
interest is enormous and any attempt at
covering will force the market up at a
rapid gait.
The price is likely to advance 5 cents
any day on short covering alone. If good
rains should come no good would result
from if. as it is now late in the season,
and cold weather wili boob be upon us,
and the growing season is practically
over and the brown fields will remain in
that condition.
Cora and Oats Elevator people have
been selling corn. Receivers say there
will be a big movement alter the first of
November. The new corn ia expected
to come forward freely, as there is no
money in holding it. Oats have been
dull and declined in sympathy with corn.
The market ruled firm however.and only
a slight break was recorded.
" Provisions More unfavorable reports
are coming in from the southwest as to
the spread of cholera among hogs. Tho
light average weights show that a great
deal of stock .is being marketed that
ought to be fed a few months longer.
Chicago Market Gossip.
New York, Oct. 26. It would not
take but little buying here to put De
cember wheat up 1 to 2c a bnshel.
There's none for sale and foreign houses
own that option. Liverpool says their
receipts of wheat are very light and are
anxious to know what our shipments will
be to that port for the uext four weeks.
Our Liverpool people say they will be
light as most of the freight room for the
time mentioned is taken for corn. Bull
news on wheat keeps coming in. Mod
ern Miiler gives discouraging statements
of the winter wheat situation.
Liverpool Wheat higher.

the market up of a cent.
Closing on Popular Stock.
The market was ragged and closed
somewhat easier. The fear of further
gold shipments was the principal bear
feature. Though the rate in sterling has
been but Vjjc per pound it is within Jc of
the point where it is believed gold could
be shipped to London without loss. Most
bankers are of the opinion that
chances favor shipments before
long, as cable transfers are
only 489. The southwestern stocks
are beiug sold on the light cotton crop
and the poor outlook for wheat. Weil
brokers attacked Sugar and U. S. Leath

named product b3g points. R. I., U.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The Daily Capital has frequently of
late referred editorially and locallv to
j my support of Mr. Robert Kepley for
sberiil, and has frequently stated that 1
claim to own and control the colored
vote, and that I will, in consideration of
delivering the same to Mr. Kep
ley, be one of his deputies
if he is elected. This statement does
Mr. Kepler aud myself a rash injustice,
and in addition to that is an insult to the
colored voters. The colored people of
this state are an intelligent class of vot
ters and know how to vote without any
instructions from me or any one else.
They are us free from the iufluanca of
bose3 aa the white voter. It is true that
I am for Kepley, and in my support I
have been open and zealous about it. It
is equally true that a great
number, if not a great majorit3-,
of the colored voters are also earnestly
supportihg him. They recognize the fact
that Mr. Kepley has for many year3 em
ployed them to work on his contracts and
has paid them liberally for their services
and has always treated them fair. While
he was furnishing them work and paying
them good wage3, Dave Burdge was en
joying some inferior official posi
tion, living on a salary and mak
ing 1 fees by charging them
with crime and prosecuting them.
While Mr. Kepley has been their friend,
Burdge has been their opeu, active and
avowed enemy. There Is no reason on
earth why the colored man should vote
for Mr. Burdge, and there is every rea
sou why he should support Kepley.
As for being Mr. Kepley's deputy, in
case he is elected, I desire to say that I
do not expect to be, and have now a
promise of a position under Hon. Geo. R.
Peck, which 1 expect to accopt on the
15th of next month. If Mr. Kepley is
elected I do not expect, personally, any
profit from it, directly or indireclly, nor
any sssistance by reason of his election
in any shape or form, I am for Mr. Kep
ley. lie has been a friend of the colored
man, and 1 am against Mr. Burdge be
cause he has been their entmy.

By its sworn detailed
statement of circulation for
the first half of the year
1895, it is shown to have a
circulation, during the six
months as stated, of a
Daily ,
Average y)Oo4
This is the greatest show
ing the State Journal ha3
ever been able tt) make for
a period of any six months
in its history.
This is a giater pgure
than was reached by any
daily paper in Topeka for
the year 1894. The Ameri
can Newspaper Directory,
issued in June, 1895, and
: covering the year 1894, give3
the average daily circula
tion of the Topeka Daily
Capital for the year 1891, as
only 8,711-. These figures
were furnished by the pub
lishers of the Capital, to tha
Directory, and are guaran
teed to be correct by a for
feit of 100, which will be
paid to any one disproving
their correctness.
The following figures, sub

The boast of the Topeka
Capital that it pays more
i postage than all other To-
peka dailies combined, only
proves the meagerness of its
I local circulation as com
j pared with that of the State
j Journal as no postage is
! paid on any circulation
! within Topeka or Shawnee
county.
The State Journal's local
circulation is far and away
ahead of the combined cir
culation of all the other
Topeka dailies.
The circulation of tho
Topeka Daily State Jour
nal in the towns near by
: and tributary to Topeka is
i very large, as the evening
j trains in various directions
carry tne . dtate Journal
giving its readers the first
and latest Associated Press
and state news of the day,
