WOMAN JOlNTIST.
Mrs. Barbara HAST Has Been
Through All the Courts.

Deputy United States Marshal Pres
colt yesterday afternoon brought J. F.
Mccarthy and Mrs. Barbara HAST
down from Holton to answer to the
charge of selling liquor to Indians, in
the United States district court The
charges against them are separate.
Mrs. Hast is said to enjoy the dis
tinctiOn of being one of the most per-
sistent jointistS in the state of Kansas.
This is her first appearance in the
United States courts, but there is not
another court which has jurisdiction
over her that has not her name re-
corded on it's docket-some of them
many times. The history of her prose-
cutions for violations of the prohibitory
law would fill volumes, and would ex-
tend all the way from the police court
of Holton through the supreme court of
the state of Kansas. Her only appear
ance in the supreme court was back in
1893 but there has scarcely been a
time since the court of appeals was
established that she has not had cases
pending before that tribunal. Yet after
each prosecution she comes up Serenely
and is found at the same old stand. She
was even dispensing liquid refresh
ments yesterday, Deputy Marshal Pres
colt says. when he arrested her.
Liquor prosecutions do not bother
Mrs. HAST in the least. She takes
them as a matter of course. It is said
that she has plenty of money and when
only a fine is attached to prosecution
she cheerfully pays it. When the SEN
tence is Imprisonment she appeals.
AS Mrs. Hast sat in the United
States naarshal's Office Thursday after
noon she bore little resemblance to the
average Kansas jointist. She is a plump
little German woman, and dressed in
a somber black alpaca gown, with a.
little black bonnet, such as old ladies
usually wear, on her head, she looked
more like some respectable farmers
wife or a pillar in the church, than a
jointist.
Mrs. Hast was not at all worried
about her arrest by the federal authori-
ties, but Mccarthy was. It was more
serious for him because he was not able
to give bond and had to spend last
night in the Shawnee county Jail.
Mrs Hast is represented by Charles
Hayden, who was one of the attorneys
in the Collins case. Her bond was fix
ed at $500, which she readily gave and
she went back home today. Her hear
ing before United States Commissioner
Clark will be next Friday.

Topeka young man has been away
spending his summer vacation and he
has returned. was a Few days late
in returning and the reason he has told
to only a few.
He spent his two weeks leave at a
summer resort. He did not care to go
to hotel so he secured a room in a
small boarding house. The room was
at one end of a very long, low house
and the door opened into the yard. Tt
was very handy arrangement as it
made no difference what time of night
he returned. He had d gay time, so
gay in fact that his expense account
grew rather faster than he expected.
At the end of his two weeks he found
he had only couple of dollars, his re-
turn trip ticket, a pawn check for his
watch and that he owed his landlady
for two weeks room rent and board.
He was honest and had no idea of de-
frauding her but he would not be able
to pay his bill until he reached home.
But he knew such a promise would not
hold good with the landlady of a sum
mer boarding house.
There was only one thing for him to
do. He would have to leave town be-
could he get his trunk, telescope, vaIise,
banjo, tennis racquet and fishing rods
away from the house? That was the
question He could not go to the local
depot for her husband drove the local
omnibus and would see him.
He hit upon ap Ian. There was an
other station about five miles away. He
would hire wagon, smuggle his be-
lOngings out of the house about mid
night, load them onto the wagon and
drive to the next town and take the

ASBELL MUST STAY.
Application For a Pardon Is
Again Refused.

Governor Stanley today refused to
pardon Marion Asbell of Labette coun-
ty, who is serving a life sentence in the
penitentiary for the murder of his wife.
The father of the murderer presented
the new application to the governor,
claiming that he had secured new evil
dence in favor of his son. To this the
governor replied, by saying:
eff you have new evidence present it
to the judge who sentenced the man
charged with murder. If the evidence
is worthy of consideration and entities
your son to a new trial, have no
doubt that he will secure it.
Il can not go into the evidence which
belongs to a court. I can not hear such
cases. If you have reasons why par
give a hearing to the case. But, can
not consider this case as you present
it today
This is the second time the governor
has turned this application for a par
don down.

SAME REED.

Reading the leading Democratic jour
mails of the country today, one can
scarcely realize that the Thomas B.
Reed to whom these same journals are
devoting much space, is the same man
who came in for so much of their at
tention while speaker of the national
house In the old days, there was no
Republican in the party so thoroughly
hated and abused; now all is changed.
Yet he is the same Tom Reed.
AS an example of the respect with
which he has come to be regarded by
his former critics. the following is
clipped from the St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch:
Forecasters of political weather
should not forget that Mr.. Thomas B
Reed is still of Maine, still a member
of congress and has not yet announced
his resignation.
Mr.. Reed comes back from Europe
just as much opposed to the Phil
ippine war as when he went
away He does not approve of colon
les nor the benevolent assimilation of
yellow bellies" He clings to the ira
ditional American policy and does not
believe that we have outgrown the con-
stitution. Moreover, Mr.. Reeds mind
is under his own hat, which is more
than can be said Of another eminent

Experiments in Nebraska are reported
to have demonstrated that shallow Gull
tivatiOn of corn is more effective than
the customary deeper stirring of the
soil. Four acres of land were divided
into trial tracts of one acre each, and
the land which was stirred to the depth
of six inches yielded hfty-nine bushels
while the land that was stirred to a
depth of only three inches yielded six
ty-eight bushels. The theory of shall
low cultivation is that it does not dry
out the roots during seasons when the
rain is below normal. It also spares
the roots, which by deep cultivation are
torn from the soil and prevented from
securing the proper amount of nourish-
ment for the growing plants. This dis
covery in regard to the cultivation Of
corn, if reliable, is of considerable eco
nomic value, as it reduces the amount
of labor and therefore lessons the cost
of raising the grain; but the gain in
this direction is said to be offset to
some extent by the necessity of more
frequent cultivation under the lighter
treatment. The soil must be broken on
the surface, in order to prevent the
evaporation of the moisture. which
rises on the capillary principle, when
the surface becomes caked and porous

ABOUT TOPEKA.
Secretary Anderson of the CONNER
cial Club Tells What Is Needed.


Industrial Commissioner James A.
Davis of the Santa Fe has sent out a
circular letter to all agents on the
Santa F'e line asking for information
concerning manufactures. mineral de-
pOSitS and business opportunities that
might be valuable to his department in
locating industries. The letter to w.
@. Carney, agent in Topeka, was referr-
ed to Secretary Anderson of the Com
mercial club with the request that he
supply the information wanted. This
Major Anderson has done.
AS a part of the question concerning
manufactures. Mr.. Davis asks if there
are any plants closed. To this Secre-
tary Anderson has replied.
Particular attention is called to the
closing of the Topeka starch factory
and the Topeka linseed oil works by
the trusts. Mr.. Davis ought to be able
to re-establish these industries. If he
does, we will rise up and call him
blessed"
to the quality and quantity of water
for domestic and power purposes, Sec
rotary Anderson says:
We have water in great abundance
and of excellent quality In fact we
boast of our water, and many people
are compelled to drink it because they
are prohibited by law from drinking
anything stronger.
I'VE also have an undeveIoped water
power in the Kansas river, and repeat
ed surveys have demonstrated that s.
600 horse power can be developed at
minimum cost. Mr.. Davis attention is
particularly called to this matter. He
can do something for Topeka that will
rebound to his everlasting credit and
enshrine the Santa Fe in the hearts of
our people even to a greater extent
than at present"
The data secured by Mr.. Davis from
the company agents will be made the
basis for a systematic effort toward
filing the opportunities that are offer
ed at different places. The Santa F'e
industrial department has already done
much for the state in this way, and the
work is to be pushed to a greater ex-
tent.

LAST TOLL BRIDGE GOES.
Does the Work of Saws in
Indiana

Tines Herald from Clinton, Ind, says:
The old wagon bridge which has
spanned the Wabash river at this point
for half a century has been wrecked
the piers from DIR. Bogart, the prin-
cipal owner, he agreeing to remove the
superstructure to make way for new
bridge. Efforts were made to burn the
bridge, but it was found this would in
jure the piers, so the sills were wired
and electricity applied. The current
was turned on at O'Clock in the morn
ing and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
the pile of timbers topped over into the
river, leaving the foundations unhurt.
The electricity had the effect Of cutting
all the sills simultaneously as with so
many saws. This was the only toll
bridge remaining in Indiana and 1000
persons sent up q mighty cheer as the
splintered spans went tumbling into
the water.

It was as far back as the straw
berry season, and the little informal af-
fair was one which the Topeka hostess,
who prided herself on her little infor-
NAL affairs, might well be proud of.
She was smiling and happy as she pre-
pared to refresh her guests with the
seasons fruit, and the guests, who had
come to know the quality of all re-
freshments in that particular house,
were smiling and happy also.
4 think I have a perfect treat for
you in these berries she said with
certain touch of pride in her voice.
'SThey are part of a special crate and
the finest I believe I ever purchased
I'm sure you'll enjoy them"
The guests were sure also. They lost
no time in dwelling upon the appear
ance of the big red berries before the
powdered sugar made the round and
their luscious beauty was half MD by
covering of white.
The hostess seated herself and poised
her spoon before making herself q par
ty to the treat she had provided. "They
are special kind of berries, and their
flavor is something delightful she
said. Il was only able to get half as
many as I wanted, but 1 expect you to
tell me they are really the best you
ever ate-'
She dipped her spoon and carried one
of the powdered berries to her lips. She
had been so earnest in recOunting the
virtues of the fruit that she had not
noticed that something had happened
among her guests. But a moment later
the realization came with full force.
and as the smile suddenly disappeared
to be succeeded by a flush and an ex-
preston that was almost one of agony,
she saw that every dish of berries was
going untouched.
Soda" she gasped. THAT wretched
girl"
Someone among the number Uttered.
1t proved infectious, and in a moment
it had grown into laughter loud and
merry. The hostess tried to join with
her guests, but the attempt resulted on

General Corbin declared there would
be no trouble recruiting the ten new

vet filled. Corbin didn't appreciate the
demand for labor which makes enlist
rnents slower than otherwise. Two
