Shorty Maynard, One of tho Tpatilnsr Clowns AVith the Pells-Floto Show,
'hich Conies to Topeka Thursday.
CIRCUS HERE THURSDAY
Sells-Iloto Shows AVill Slake Annual
Visit This Week.
As every season rolls around we
generally find the proprietors of big
tented attractions vying with each
other In order to produce the most
novel act. be it either what is com
monly known in circus parlance as a
thriller or pure comedy.
There is something- irresistibly fun
ny in the laughable act introduced by
the Sells-Floto people this year. It is
that of a real battle with the flames
by the associate clowns of that organ
ization. A regular fire engine is used of the
most approved make and it may add
interest to know that it is. drawn by
perhaps what are considered the most
celebrated team of fire horses on the
continent, being those who journeyed
to Ixmdon a few years ago and wrest
ed the honors from all competitors at
the series of fire drills given there.
A building is discovered on fire in
the center of the main tent. The regu
lar alarm is given and the fire engine
rushes in followed by the clowns who
come armed with soda water siphons,
watering cans and other such para
phernalia. Their ludicrous efforts to
extinguish the flames is said to be
about the funniest thing that has ever
been introduced to the patrons of the
circus. ,
The Sells-Kioto circus will give two
performances here on Thursday. Sep
tember 21. The price of admission, as
most people know, has been cut in
half this year so that for 25 cents one
is permitted to see this great circus in
Us entirety.
SENATORS ARE NAILED.
Eight 31 embers Will Represent Sen
ate at Madison IMneral.
Utica, N. T., Sept. 19. Vice Presi
dent Sherman has appointed the fol
lowing senators to represent the
United States senate at the funeral of
Congressman Madison, who died at
Fort Dodge, Kan., Monday:
Curtis and Bristow of Kansas,
Clarke of ..rkansas, Stone of Missouri,
Dixon of Montana, Crawford of South
Dakota and Kern of Indiana.
Hutchinson, Kan., Sept. 19. The
Southwest Kansas Republican associ
ation, in session here, adjourned upon
learning of the death of Representa
tive Maditon. Resolutions of sorrow
were adopted. The secretary was di
rected to send a telegram of condo
lence to Mrs. Madison and to L. A.
Madison, brother of the congressman.
Senator Joseph L. Bristow said:
"I am shocked at the news of Judge
Madison's death. I can hardly believe
it. lie was a man of robust physique,
and I never heard him complain of
illness or any physical ailment. In
his death, Kansas loses one of her
strong progressive leaders. Ke was a
brilliant campaigner, and a clear
thinker, and his highest ambition waa
to serve the people faithfully and ef
ficiently. His great service was in the
Ballinger-Pinchot investigation and his
report in that case will stand as a mon
ument to his great ability and his fidel
ity to truth and righteousness.
"I fee! his death as a great per
sonal loss."
CAR DROPS 100 FEET.
Two Persons Killed and One Badly
Injured In Kansas City.
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 19. Two per
sons were killed and a third probably
fatally injured when a Strang car
leaped from the tracks and plunged
over a hundred-foot hill at Fifth and
Bluff streets here last night. There
were but the three passengers In the
car when the accident occurred. The
dead are:
DENNIS ICAIIFMANN, a passenger.
MORTORMAN H. E. MYERS.
Conductor William J. Kaiser waa
badly hurt.
The car left the track at a sharp
curve on an incline. Several hundred
feet before the car reached the turn It
became evident that the motorman had
lost control of his brakes. Realizing
this. O. C. Colt, a cousin of Russell
Colt, husband of Ethel Barrymore, who
was a passenger, dropped off the rear
platform to safety.
But Kaufman, the remaining passen
ger, decided to cast his lot with the car.
Kaiser and Myers made frantic at
tempt to stop the speeding vehicle but
their efforts were futile.
Bounding from the rails at a terrific
speed, the car described a complete
somersault before it landed at the foot
of the rock cliff. The dead and injured
were buried under the debris.

SHE KEEPS POISONS HANDY.
Nervous Bridegroom of Six Months
Says He Is Afraid.
El Dorado, Kan., Sept. 19. Alleging
that his wife, whom he took for better
or worse but six short months ago, dis
played various poisons on her kitchen
table when she prepared food, and
taunted him for not being a man of
spirit, J. H. Havner, Potwin "newly
wed," filed suit for divorce In the dis
trict court against Lottie Havner. They
were married March 4, 1911.
Havner's most startling assertion is
in regard to the poisons. He affirms
her familiarity with these deadly drugs
caused him to be nervous, prevented
him from enjoying his meals and some
times prevented him from partaking of
the family repast.
"When she waa baking pies, she had
strychnine on the table," the husband's
petition reads, "and at another time
she had rough on rats on the table
where she was mixing bread, and at
another time she had a bottle of paris
green on a table where she was mixing
bread and preparing other edibles."

Welcome Words to Women
Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their
sex should write our Association and receive free
the advice of a physician of over 40 years' experience
a skilled and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter of this sort has the most
careful consideration and is regarded as sacredly
confidential. Many sensitively modest women write
fully what they would shrink from telling to their
local physician. The local physician is pretty
re to say that he cannot do anything without
" an examination." Dr. Pierce holds that these
distasteful examinations are generally needless, and
that no woman, except in rare cases, should submit to them.
Dr. Pierce's treatment will cure you right in the pri-rscy of
your own home. His Favorite Prescription" has cured
hundreds of thousands, some of them the worst of cases.
It is the only medicine of its kind that is the product of a regularly graduated
physician. The only one good enough that its makers dnre to print its every
ingredient on its outside wrapper. There's no secrecy. It will bear examina
tion. No alcohol and no habit-forming drugs are found in it. Some unscrup
ulous medicine dealers may offer you a substitute. Don't take it. Don't trifle
with your health. Write to World's Dispensary Medical Association, Dr. R.
V. Pierce, President, Buffalo, N. Y., take the advice received and be well.
Plainville, Kan., Sept. 19. The re
port is circulated here that Andrew
Brown has been robbed of $1,500 in
cold cash. It seems that Mr. Brown
has no faith in the banking institu
tions and has always kept his money
buried about his place somewhere. He
has been so discreet about it that not
even his own family knows where it is
kept.
Mr. Brown had occasion to go to
Laton business and on his return home
he found that $:.,500 was missing from
its accustomed place. So far he has
been unsuccessful in locating the thief.
It is reported that on the day the
money was missed a fellow going up
the ravine with a shovel on his shoul
der was s-en.

MARSHALL'S BAND STATEMENT.
Albert Marshall Gives Version of State
Fair Trouble.
To the Editor of the Topeka State
Journal:
For the information of the many
friends of Marshall's band, I take this
method of informing them of the true
condition of affairs aa they exist. In
the first place Marshall's band did
not make any objection to any ar
rangements which the State Fair as
sociation may have made through its
secretary, Mr. Cook, regarding their
music. Personally we regard Liber
ates band as a very high class organ
ization, and, composed of very fine
gentlemen, and, they were exceeding
ly friendly with us on their recent vis
it to our city.
The statement made by the press
that we refused to play with less than
50 members is false. The board of di
rectors of the fair association had
figures from us for 25 men at $2 per
man per day, after they voluntarily
made a proposition to hire 20 men at
$3 per day per man. This proposi
tion was flatly turned down by Mr.
Cook. The statement made that we
demanded our money in advance is
also false. We have never had an op
portunity to demand any money from
Mr. Cook except for a bill for services
a year old. The band also played a
full week's engagement a few years
ago for the old fair association for
which it never received one cent al
though the members laid off from
their daily avocations to play the job.
Mr. Cook has repeatedly told us that
he would not under any circumstances
employ Marshall's band, although,
nothing can be said against Marshall's
band and we have donated our ser
vices time and time again to help pay
state fair expenses .when they have
gone in the hole.
That we are a union organization
should not be used against us, as, we
were forced into the union in order
to retain the services of several or
chestra men who were members of
the American Federation of Musicians.
The daily papers claim there were
133,000 paid admissions to our last
fair. Say 5 0;000 of them were visitors
from outside the city. Is it fair to ask
Marshall s band to turn out with 20
or 25 men, wear their uniforms and
advertise themselves as Marshall's
when they could turn out 55 uniform
ed men if they could get employment
for them? Does it not hurt the repu-
Angry Wife Also Gets $5,000 Damages
from "Other Woman."
Abilene. Kan.. Sept. 19. Mrs. W. J.
Rowe. wife of the former district clerk,
received a divorce and $750 alimony,
and also Judgment for $5,000 against
Miss Minnie Rice for alienation of her
husband's affections. Mr. Rowe did
not contest the suit. He recently re
signed as clerk of the court.

tation of the band and the city, to
only turn out with 20 men? The vis
itors would naturally say, "We have a
larger band than that at home."
We have several professional musi
cians in the band and we practice
twice a week the year around. We are
playing the same standard programs
that all the high class bands of the
country'are playing. To maintain this
high standard of proficiency it is
necessary that we use a full instru
mentation in playing all concert work.
By dividing the band in two you sim
ply handicap it that much. We are
the only amateur band in the country
which makes any effort to maintain
this high standard, and, if we can not
have the support of the citizens, the
press and those who hire bands of this
class, we may as well disband. I am
informed that Liberati's band received
$2,400 for its services. We could have
furnished just as good a band for less
than half that amount, and, at the fair
a year ago would have been glad to
have furnished a vastly superior hand
at a saving of several hundred dollars
to the fair association. Just because
we are a home production we should
not be knocked. Almost every time in
the last few years that we have been
called on to play we have been asked
for part of the men, and can not get
a contract for the entire band. Even
the Seml-Centennial only contracted
for part of the band, but we turned out
the best band that has paraded the
streets of Topeka for some time and
did not have the entire membership
either. The people of Topeka do not
seem to understand or appreciate the
fact that Marshall's band is an ama
tuer organization. With the exception
of a few of its members the entire
number making up its membership
are men who work for their living, and
when they lay off for the purpose of
playing with the band they lose that
much time and money from their
usual avocations, at which some are
employed during the day and some
during the night.
As a member of the band who has
devoted his time to the good of the
organization for more than twenty
years. I am in favor under the present
conditions of retiring from the band
business and allowing Mr. Cook and a
few more persons who do not live in
Topeka and other men from the out
side to come in and dictate to the peo
ple and the press of the city and give
to it and them just what Mr. Cook and
the rest of the nonresidpnts think it
! and they need in the way of music.
1 Hoping that this explanation will be
of assistance in placing Marshall's
band in a true liht and of refuting
some of the false charges circulated
against it. I am verv trulv.
ALBERT H. MARSHALL.
The Best
Service
FOR YOU
Either Local ot
LONG DISTAKC3
If your complexion is marred with
blotches, moth patches, pimples or
freckles, it's useless to putter with
powders and paints, lotion, creams and
things, in an effort to get rid of the
trouble. Unless you have some ability
as an artist you'll mar your appearance
still more.
The new and rational way is to take
off the complexion itself, with all its
offensive marks. Just get an ounce of
pure mercolized wax at the druggist's
and use at night same as cold cream.
Remove next morning with water and
soap, following with dash of cold water.
The mercolized wax absorbs the half
dead scarf skin in flaky particies, so
gradually no one guesses you're treat
ing your face unless it be by the re
sult, which is truly wonderful. There's
nothing like it for restoring a natural,
healthy and beautiful complexion.

Rural Mail Carriers Meet.
Milwaukee, Sept. Rural mail car
riers to the number of about 150 and rep
resenting a membership of 42.000 opened a
four days meeting in Milwaukee today.
The subject of good roads is perhaps the
most important to come before the meet-
" About two months aero my hands started
to crack open and bleed, the skin would
scale oft, and the good flesh would burn and
itch dreadfully. When my
hands first started to snt
sore, there were small
blisters like water blisters
which formed. They
itched dreadfully, it Just
seemed as tbouph I could
tear the skin all off. I
would scratch them and
the skin would peel off,
and the flesh would be
all red and crack open
and bleed. It worried ma
Very much, as I had never had anything tha
matter with my skin. I was so afraid I would
have to give up my employment.
"I consulted my doctor, and he said he
didn't think it would amount to anything.
But it kept getting worse. One day I saw
a piece in one of the papers about a lady who
had the same trouble with her hands. She
had used Cuticura Soap and Ointment and
was cured. I decided to try them, and my
hands were all healed before I had used one
cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment. I am truly thnnkful forthe good
results from the Cuticura Soap and ointment,
for thanks to them I was cured, and did not
have to lose a day from work. I have had
no return of the skin trouble." (Signed) Mrs.
Mary E. Breig, 2522 Brown Street, Phila
