just wherein he failed or succeeded.

TOPEKAN AT WICHITA.
C. J. Dillon Talks Good Roads to Dry
Farming Congress.
Wichita, Kan., Oct. 15. With
"Roads, Good and Bad," as his topic,
Charles J. Dillon of Topeka, pointed
out the values of good roads in farm
ing communities, in an address before
the International Dry Farming con
gress here Wednesday. He aserted
that some of the middle western
states are backward in road construc
tion. "Bad roads and good spirits will
never be found together," he said.
"Bad roads and tenantry; bad roads
and poor churches and schools; bad
roads and no social life; bad roads
and discontent these combinations
are always to be encountered."
OIL CATCHES FIRE.
Man Looking in Barrel Lights Match
and Is Badly Burned.
Inman., Kan., Oct. 16. Herbert J.
Meyer of this place had an experience
this week that he will remember. He
was taking an inventory of his oil
stock and when he came to the coal
oil tank opend the lid and looked in,
but as it was getting dark he coulnn't
see well enough without having some
light on the subect.
He struck a match and this ignited
the gas that had formed and it flashed
up, burning him quite severely about
the face and one of his hands. Mr.
Meyer was very lucky that it did not
get in his eyes. His burned face makes
him look like an Indian chief. -
MULE KICKS A FARMER.
Hoofs of Animal Almost Cause Man's
Death Near Manhattan.
Manhattan, Kan., Oct. 15. While
trying to catch a mule on his farm, A.
F. Vilander, a farmer living across the
Kansas river, was severely injured
when the animal kicked him in the
face with both hind feet. The teeth
on one side of his jaw were knocked
loose and the skin was torn from the
nose.
The attending physician says that if
Mr. Vilander had been a short dis
tance farther from the mule when he
kicked, the accident might have been
fatal.
POUND IN A CREEK.
London, Oct 15. "Germans '. arriving
here," said the Copenhagen correspondent
of the Times, "state that owing to the
failure of the Russians to make progress
against the Germans the Germans have
decided to immediately transfer consider
able masses of troops from the eastern to
the western fronts for an advance on
Paris.
"This transfer probably already has be
gun as train traffic Is delayed 48 hours."
From the same source the correspondent
says he learns there is a large amount
f sickness among the German troops.
The plans for the occupation of Paris
drawn up by the Germans before the bat
tle of the Marne," continues the corre
spondent, "contemplated a demand for
an indemnity of a billion dollars and un
less the entire sum was paid within a
fortnight property of equal value was to
have been taken, to 'Berlin, including art
works and libraries,, and retained there
until full satisfaction . of the indemnity
was made." t
SHIT TO jjlATTEAYAH
Ida Von Claussen Is Committed to
Asylum for the Insane.
London, Oct. 15. Some well known
Americans in London are among those
who have secured insurance against
bombs. There has been such a rush
for bomb insurance that the rates at
Lloyd's took a decided upward leap,
the highest being for properties near
government buildings and the water
front. Around such places the rate
rose from five shillings to seven shil
lings sixpence and even to ten shillings
per one hundred shillings, which is a
decided advance, as the rate has been j
two sniiungs sixpence per one hundred
shillings. One broker said:
"We have been swamped with re
quests for insuring houses against
bombs. It is natural that in certain
districts the rate should be higher than
in others, because such points are con- i
siaerea oDjecuve points or the German
attack should they invade this coun
try." One big firm offered a policy for
150,000 pounds on a house and con
tents at five shillings per one hundred
shillings.. An official of one of the
big insurance companies here said:
"A number of large insurance com
panies have decided to write no poli
cies against damage' by bombs. They
are of the opinion that in the event of
a real invasion by the Germans there
will be a great chance that it will be
impossible to pay the claims."
Another question considered by the
big companies was the possibility of
heavy loss on such policies in view of
which they were unwilling to ' make
their other policyholders share the re
sponsibility. - The Zeppelin scare is fattening the
purses of Lloyd's underwriters, who
have suffered unprecedented sea losses
in the last few years.
HE HEARS FROM VILLA
Frank Thomas Is Representing the
General in Washington.
New York, Oct. 15. Ida Von
Claussen. recently sentenced to six
months in jail for sending a threaten
ing letter to Charles Strauss, a New
Tork lawyer, was committed today to
the state hospital for the criminal in
sane at Matteawan. Two physicians
recently appointed by the supreme
court to examine Mrs. Von Claussen
reported in their opinion she was suf
fering from the hallucination that she
was being -persecuted by Theodore
Roosevelt. .

ident, Mrs. Vort 'Claussen . made re
peated efforts to get an interview with
him to protest against the action of
the ambassador to Sweden in refus
ing to present her at court
Treaty Is Approved.
Madrid, ct. 15. The council of ministers
has approved the ratification of the treaty
of arbitration between Spain and the
United States.
Washington, Oct 15. The national
convention at Aguas Calientes has
reached a point where the question of
the retirement of General Carranza was
to be discussed, according to official
telegrams to the American government,
as well as messages received by agents
here of Genral Villa.
Frank 8. Thomas, of Topeka, who
has opened headquarters here for Villa,
gave out the following message which
was received-by him from Villa head
quarters at Juarez:
"Convention will meet at 3 p. m.,
when it is expected Carranza's resigna
tion will be received and promptly ac
cepted. The name of General Antonio
Villareal, chairman of the convention
will be presented as a candidate for ;
provisional president and will be most
satisfactory to all factions."
While the constitutionalist agency
here has had no formal comment to
make it was indicated that General
Villareal likewise was regarded with
favor by the Carranza faction.
Mr. Thomas expressed the. opinion
that Carranza's resignation probably :
already had been accepted and that
Villareal had been chosen; but lacked
definite advises o. nthis point
