A R T AND ARTIST

In Mr.. E. c. Messer's studio the results
of his summers work at Paxson are be-
ginning to be more and more apparent
With him outdoor studies are rarely a good
indication of the quality of the work that
he will send to the winter exhibitions. The
real work of the year is done in the stu
dio, where he wrestles with his sketches
until ne evolves pictures possessing har-
mony, artistic feeling and. above all, the
distinct note of personal style. 1t is rare
indeed that he can take hold of a canvas
painted in the open air, and, carrying it
forward in the studio. create one of his
best pictures. Usually his most successful
landscapes are those which he starts en-
tirely afresh, and bases on some outdoor
sketch without binding himself rigidly to

manner this fall, and though he has hardly

TROUBLESOME FORMOSA.
Another Rebellion Has Broken Out
in the Island.

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 17.-MaiI advi-
ces from Japan state that another for
midabIe rebellion against Japanese rule
has broken out in Fornosa, this time in
the southern part of the island. Two
battles have been fought, one near
Tacihu, the other near Taihoku. The
tribes were defeated by the Japanese
troops and the police.
Many were killed and wounded on
each side, but details are not obtain
able. The rebellion is an outcome of
an attempt by the Japanese admins
tration to extend it's jurisdiction over
the semi savage tribes living in the in
terror.
According to official reports a sum-
mary of rebelliOus outbreaks in Formo-
sd during the last year shows that A.,
900 persons were concerned in 100 at
lacks in different parts of the island
Five hundred persons were killed and
wounded by these semi savages, 1,500
captured and over 200 houses burned.
Their booty was valued at 900 yen.
On the other hand, 946 robbers were
killed and 1 $50 taken prisoners.

SCRIP AND SCREEN LAW.
County Attorney of Crawford County,
Comes Up to See About It.

T. J. Wildly, county attorney of Craw-
ford county, is in consultation today with
State Auditor Morris. who is an old friend
and preceded Mr.. Wildly as county attor-
peeted to see Attorney General uO Boyle
also, but the latter is absent from the
city.
Mr. Wildly came to Topeka to devise
some new method for enforcing the scrip
and screen law against the mining com
panies He is practically powerless SO
far as the. old methods are concerned,
now that his hands have been tied by in
functions granted to the mining compa-
MES by Judge Williams of the federal
court Since coming to Topeka he has
received a telegram stating that Judge
Williams has granted two more injunc-
lions against him.
The injunctions have no force against
Judge Simons of the district court, which
meets next month, and it is possible that
some move may be made through him.
The miners are thinking of circulating a
petition asking Judge SimOns to call a
grand jury for the purpose. of investigat-
ing violations of the law by the mining
companies. If Judge Simons does so an
interesting legal fight may be expected.

When Ella Dunbar, or rather Mrs.

afternoon she brought with her a
memory of the only comic opera. that
Topeka was ever guilty of contributing
to the stage.
Mrs. PoIacheck was one of the pro-
fessiOnal people secured for the Eileen
Opera company, presenting the opera
Eileen the book of which was written
by Mr.. H. A. Salyer and the music by
Mr.. J. A. Goodman, both of this city at
that time. She had the sOubrette role
and Amy Leslie that of prima donna
There was also several other profession

Topeka people remember the fate of
the opera. The company disbanded be-
cause of lack of financial backing in
LeavenWOrth after the fourth perform
ance of the piece Mrs. POlachek says
that she was the only one of the pro-
fessionaIs brought here for the opera
who was not out of pocket as result.
She insisted on the payment of her
salary two weeks in advance before she
commenced rehearsing, and in this way
had sufficient money to purchase trans
portatiOn to Chicago.
Mrs. PoIachek is a sister of Mr.. Fred

About the time that Danziger made
his last appearance at the hotel, a tele-
gram came to police headquarters for

the Danziger Bros. of Chicago and

brother Oscar Danziger, as it was sup

suggestion was made that inquiry be
made at the different hotels.
Hardly had the night clerk of the
Throop returned to the desk after seeing
the travelling man disappear in the alley
than the telephone rang and Marshal
Strauss asked if a man by the name of
Danziger had been there during the
day. He was told of the circumstan-
ces, and in a few minutes several DO
ncemen were on the track of the insane

At 9:15 o'clock he was captured near
the Rock Island depot, having followed

GETTING STATISTICS.

Gathering Them in Criminology.
Labor Commissioner Lee Johnson is
taking trip through several cities OF
the state to ascertain the advisabil1ty
of undertaking certain work for MS
next annual report. His report for TINS
year is now in the hands of the printer,
and already Mr.. Johnson is outlining
his work for next year.
The principal subject that he has IN
der consideration is the collection OF
statistics relative to crime and crimt-
nails His idea is to gather material
from the records, not only of district
courts, but also from justices courts,
throughout the state, showing the cost
in detail of trying every kind of Grim
inal case, both when convictions are
secured and when the prisoner is ac-
quilted, and to ascertain if the cost Of
maintaining criminal courts cannot be
reduced and still secure justice to all.
The statistics will also show the cost
of keeping prisoners in jail, and the
methods of utilizing their labor as en-
ployed in different counties. Such
work has never been undertaken in
Kansas, but it would doubtless be of
great benefit. The labor commissioner
of Missouri some time ago compiled
similar statistics, and they resulted in
the modification of the entire criminal
code of that state.
The question with Mr.. Johnson is
whether his department has sufficient
funds to carry out the work. He is now
visiting EmpOria, Strong City, Newton
and Hutchinson to ascertain an eSti-
mate of what the expense would be.
