KIPLING SUIT A SURPRISE
g. s. Putnam Explains His Position
Regarding His Edition.

London, May 15.-Mr. G. s. Putnam,
of the firm of Boston publishers, Put
nam & Sons, expressed great amaze
ment here today at the lawsuit being
brought against him by Rudyard Kip
ling. He says he can not understand
Kipling's motives, but sympathetically
connects the action with Kipling's ILL
ness.
The Putnams issued a small volume
of Kiplings works through their retail
bookselling department. 1T did not
profess to be an edition in the strict
sense he said. I'VE simply bought
printed sheets from Kipling's author
lied publishers and issued the set in
harmonious bindings" he explained.
Upon hearing that Kipling was an
noyed we wrote to Mrs. Kipling saying
we would do all possible to avoid hurt
ing Mr.. Kipling's feelings. To this let
ter Mrs. Kipling replied kindly. Hence
the lawsuit is a complete surprise to
u.s. Mr.. Putnam guesses that the real
cause of Kipling's move is his objec-
ton to the grouping of the matter in a
set also to the decoration, which is
the head of an African elephant on
cover, since the authorized, limited edi-
ton of Kipling's collected works has
an Indian elephants head on the cover.
The Putnams' reputation for upright
ness is considered here as in the United
States to give ample weight to his
statement.

MEMORIAL DAY.

The 30th of May will have a new sig
nificance in Kansas this year In years
gone by the gray haired old veterans
have faithfully marched to the little
cemetery on the hill in all Kansas
towns on this day, perhaps the militia
has sometimes discharged a few guns
over the resting places of those who
were warriors a generation ago, and
their friends have quietly laid a few
flowers on their graves. and then gone
home But the great mass of the peo-
pie had forgotten them-the boys who
wore the blue from 81 to '65. During
the last few years Memorial Day has
been a day of picnics and base ball
games, of excursions and bicycle races.
But this year it will be different.
There are fresh mounds in the cemetery
now Kansas blood has moistened the
soil of the Philippines, and some of the
brave handsome young fellows who
kissed mothers and sisters and sweet
hearts goodbye when the train rolled
away from the little depot a year ago
and brought them to Topeka to be
mustered into the service of their coun-
try-some of these have been brought
home across the great Pacific, sealed in
their leaden caskets, and have been
laid to rest by loving hands in the soil
on which they used to play. The hearts
of those who loved them are still filled
with a great sorrow over their loss, and
on Memorial Day the people who knew
them intimately,-the boys and girls
with whom they played a few brief
years ago, the men who cheered and
the women who waved their handker-
chiefs when they marched away-all
will gather in the cemetery this year
and drop a silent tear as they lay
memento of flowers on the newly-made
mounds. Salina and Abilene and juno
ton City. Topeka. Lawrence and Leav-
enworth. Independence and Fort Scott
and lola, Ottawa and Pittsburg and
Coffeyville.-these and other Kansas
towns all have their burdens of sor-
row and will do honor to the memory
of the Kansas heroes who have given
their lives to their country,-Lieutenant
Afford, Captain Elliott, Raymond
Dawes. Lieutenant McTaggart, and the
rest.
Some of them will never be brought
back to the land for which they died,
but their memory will be just as dear
to those who loved them, as they lie in
their lonely graves on the battle
grounds in the Philippines, as though
they were covered by the green sod of
their own beloved Kansas
Yes, Memorial Day will be different

CAMPANIA BEATS ST. PAUL
The Cunarder Crossed the Atlantic on
Her Last Trip in Good Time.

New York, May 15.-This time the
Cunarder Campania outspeeded the
American liner, ST. Paul. On the last
westward trip the St. Paul came in
ahead. Even with a long delay between
quarantine and her pier, due to a, wait
for the outgoing Etruria, the 1Campania

CAN TALK SOCIALISM.
Professors in Berlin University Can
not Be Disciplined For Aiding
the Propaganda.

Berlin, May 15.-The professors of the
faculty of philosophy of the Berlin uni
fuse the demand of the minister of ed
ucation, Herr POSSE, to subject DR.. E.
Arons. the professor of physics, to
disciplinary trial.
DR.. Arons is charged by the govern
ment with being prominently identified
with the Social Democratic party, and
with aiding by writing and public
speaking the propaganda of the enemies
of the Administered ton.
The university professors adduce as a
reason for their refusal that professors
and instructors are at liberty to indulge
in their private political views, and can
not be interfered with so long as they
do net teach their doctrines in the uni
versity. Besides, DR.. Arons, as pro-
fessor of physics, has no opportunity

ATTACKED ALLIGATORs
Woman and Child Wounded In
Texas.

San Antonio, Tex. May 15-Alligators
attacked Paul r. Nagle and his family,
who were camped on the bank of a
bayou, or lagoon, running out from the
shore of Espontoso lake, in Dewitt
county, last night.
The lake, although far inland, is
literally alive with alligators. Maggie
had been warned by a settler not to
camp too near the lake, but persisted.
Some time in the night he was aroused
by the uneasiness of his horses. Going
to them to ascertain the cause, he was
attacked by an alligator. He beat it off
with an AK. His wife cried for assist
ance, and when he reached her an alli-
gator had a 4-year-old girl in it's jaws.
While attempting to rescue the child
the mother dropped from her arms an
infant, which was seized by another
alligator This morning shreds OF
clothes and patches of blood mark the
spot. The distressed parents were
powerless to give aid to the little ones.
The mother narrowly escaped with
fearful wound in the right thigh, and
the bloody ak of the husband speaks
of the heroic battle. The settlers in the
neighborhood are aroused, and a sys-
tematic effort will be made to rid the
lake of the alligators, whtch have done
much damage to cattle and sheep.

GLUTTED WITH GOLD.
People Want Small Bills and Will
Not Take Coin In Exchange.

Chicago, May 15.-Chicago banks are
becoming glutted with gold coin. The
United States sub-treasury has refused
to pay out any more small bills for the
yellow metal, the banks are unable to
exchange it for gold certificates, and so
the bankers are doing the only thing
left for them-storing in their vaults
what they can not get rid of. When the
call for small bills increases. as it al
ways does in the summer and fall, gold
probably will have to take the place
of the paper money, unless the govern
ment printing presses are started up
again. One Chicago bank alone has
over IS, 000, 900 in gold coin stored in it's
vaults where there was only $4,000, 900
a year go, and the hoard is rapidly in
creasing. This same bank has only be-
tween 1900. 900 and s3,000,Oo0 in small
bills.
Confidence in the government, the
bankers say, has brought out the pri-
vate boards of gold. the owners pre-
ferring paper money because it is. easier
to carry around Many refuse to accept
gold from the banks

bank building that has never been oc-

TOPEKA's GENEROSITY.
People Have Placed Coleman Family
In Good Circumstances.


The Coleman home on Hancock street
now presents a very different appear
ance from what it did previous to the
time the condition of the mother and
her two daughters was brought to the
attention of the Topeka public by the
State Journal. The story of want was
sufficient to arouse the charitably in
clined people of this city. and as a re-
suit the family is now in comfortable
circumstances.
1t might be said in this connection
that Topeka does not deserve the crit
icism that is being INDUCED in by the
the restitution of the widow and her
daughters. This is shown by the great
ly changed condition of things at the
Coleman home. Topeka people were
simply ignorant of the family's need,
and as soon as they knew of it they
made haste to remedy the circumstan-
ces.
Mrs. Coleman says that she has now
groceries sufficient to last her a month,
and provisions are still coming in every
day. Clean clothing of all descriptions
has been supplied for the mother and
daughters, and new mattresses and
new bedding provided. The unfortunate
older girl no longer lies in a tattered
and dirty nightdress on an il1smelling
bed, but rests between white sheets in
clean garments.
Fuel has also been supplied the fam
lily, and some furniture as well. The
condition at the home is now one of
comparative comfort.
The neighbors living in that vicinity
make a practice of helping the mother
care for her sick daughter both during
attention and plenty of nourishment.
