Low Down Vandalism.

Thickens so badly that they will
either all or part have to be made
over The new house being erected
by Mrs. Thickens at the corner of East
Main street and Florence avenue was
about ready for the window frames
which were finished and hauled to
the place and were leaned up against
stack of brick, the face of the
frames being placed toward the brick
in order to protect them. Some one
with an evil purpose in his heart
went under the frames and with big
knife or other sharp instrument
hacked the face of the frames so badly
that they were some of them entirely
ruined Mrs Thickens does not know
how to account for the vandalism.

BUYING SANTA FE.
Rock Island Said to Be Invest
ing in Rivals Stock.

New York. Sept. 3.-The heavy buying
of Atchison stocks, especially the pre-
ferred on Friday. attracted wide attention
Careful inquiry seemed to bring consider
able evidence connecting the buying with
Rock Island interests and the impression
was very strong that the Moore brothers
and allied interests were the large buyers
Of both stocks in the past few days. 1t
is not supposed that the Rock Island
meditates actual control of the AtchisOn
system. Such control could only be OBJ
taineddd by the expenditure of a very
large sum of money, and it is doubtful If
the Rock Island needs majority ownership
in the Atchison road It is however quite
reasonable to suppose that it might suit
the Rock Island very well to have a large
interest and voice in the property, and
to be the largest individual owner OF the
Atchison stock for that purpose
Reports of the Pennsylvania buying in
the Atchison property have been current
for a long time, but there is no reason to
suppose that they are any more true now
than they have been in the past.

a vastly greater opportunity for ad-
vancement than in any other country
In politics be is the peer of any other
man. Our institutions are based on the
theory that all men are equal, and 1t
is the duty of us all to see that they
are preserved in their integrity. This
was meant to be. and. in spite OF a
good many evil and obvious tendencies
in the other direction, still is the land
Of the poor man. All these things nave
had their effect on the working man.
And the result is that the American Ia
borer is the most efficient man In the
world. He works harder and more IN
diligently, is much more capable in the
management of machinery. and turns
out a larger product than his most for
midable competitors abroad. The spirit
of liberty, which breeds hopefulness and
ambition, has much to do with this.
Education exercises q potent influence
in the same direction. The sense of po-
litical importance gives the laborer a
feeling of independence which it is well
that he should cherish.

The enemy of the man you hate. can

make good bread before they are forty.

so popular that the growers ship them

You have no more right to make fun of
mans disposition than you have to
make fun of his bald head, or his cross
eyes, or his game leg.
Invitations to a wedding are a great
deal like bills sent out by merchant.
and there is considerable surmise as
to what they will bring in.
When visiting girl says to a young
man to whom she is introduced, "You
look just like a friend of mine," the
other young men might as well get out
of the race.
Considering the experience that most
women acquire with their husbands, we
wonder that more widows do not attempt
| to earn living by becoming detectives.

WRIGHT'S REMEDY.
Commissioner Of Labor Reports
on Anthracite Strike.

Washington, Sept 3.-The report of
Carol D. Wright, the commissioner of
labor. on the anthracite coal strike, was
made public today.
Commissioner Wright finds tnat there
is no confidence existing between the
of the difficulties between the operators
and miners. He suggests that 1t would
be reasonable and just for the operators
to concede at once q nine-hour day for
a period of six months as an expert
ment. He suggests that there should
be organized joint committee on con-
Citation, composed of representatives
of the operators and of new union Of
anthracite employees to which all griev-
ances should be referred for investiga-
ton and that their decision should be
final and binding upon all parties, and
that there should be no interference
with non-union men.

Persons in August.

T. s. Williams, the Topeka free en-
ployment agent. has filed with State
Agent T. B. Gerow his report for the
month of August 1t shows that there
were 103 applications for positions dur
ing the month and that n of these ap-
plications were filled. There were 81
applications for help, OF which AZ were
filed.
Several OF the applications for help
were for more than one individual. The
city railway applied for 100 men, the
Bird Canning factory for 100 women.
and several railroads for large gangs
of section hands. The application OF the
Bird Canning factory for 100 women
was about as fiat failure as the agency
has on its books. Only two women
were sent to the factory from the
agency, but it is probable that many
other women saw the announcement of
the application In the daily papers, and
applied directly to the factory for work.
