announced that he has struck an entire

admitted that THE stain of Guilt" is
a rneIodrama. it is also something more.
1t is a character play of the most pro-
nounced type. There is no role in 1t
which does not require character ac-

important part in the play is that of
Harry Slade, the detective, played by
Oscar Dane. In his portrayal of the

Promises to Rebuild Embankment in
North Topeka

The North Topeka Disbursements
league has scored a point of success in
securing the promise of the Union Pa
cific railroad to rebuild the embank-
ment on its right of way and cut off
the source of the lakes which have an
noyed the North side ever since the
food. The river washed a hole under
the Union Pacific tracks a half mile
west of town and let through the water
which fed the current of the north
channel Since the flood chain Of
lakes have stood in this new river bed
and each succeeding rain has replenish-
ed the bodies of water. Such is the lay
of the land north of the river that the
entire rainfall as far west as Menoken
was drained. not into the river, but into
the North Topeka ponds. BY rebuilding
the Union Pacific embankment this sur
face water will be restrained on the far
Their side and can be diverted into the
river. The Rock Island railroad has
agreed to assist the North Topekans
in draining their ponds by laying ad-
ditional thing under the tracks of the
st. Joe line where it passes through the
west side of the town. The water in the
lakes will be drained through North To-
peka into Soldier creek.

LITTLE TEXAS FEVER.
Only Ten Deaths Attributed to Dis.
ease in Kansas.

Chairman NJ. c. Campbell of the state
live stock sanitary commission says
that only ten cattle have died in Kan
sas of Texas fever during the past
year. Six of these were in Covley
county and were due to the fact that
a railroad company had unloaded some
southern cattle in its stock yards there
for rest and then had failed to fumf-
gate the yards. The cattle left some
fever ticks behind them which gave the
disease a start there, and six cattle died
as a result
The other cattle died at Carbonate
recently. During the Kaw valley
floods some southern cattle were I'M
loaded at Carbonate and held for the
waters to subside- While they were
there one of them broke away and got
mixed with some native cattle. giving
the latter fever ticks, from which four
died. The infected herd is now thor
oughly Quarantined.
Some southern cattle were recently
strung along the right of way of rail-
road near Ottawa, caused by a car door
coming off. The cattle jumped from

but none of them were killed. The au-
thorities are guarding against an out

NO ASSET CURRENCY.
Senate Finance Committee Has Aban-
doned the Idea.

New York, Aug. 20.-The members of
the senate subcommittee which has
been considering new currency meas
ure, has given up the idea of attempt
ing to reach an agreement upon any as
set currency plan, says a World special
from Providence. r. I. Senator Aldricl,
the chairman is authority for the state
ment that while the committee has rot
departed from its determination TO de-
wise some simple. conservative measure
for the betterment of financial condi-
tons, it was decided to exclude from the
bill any reference to asset currency or
any other detail upon which a disa gree
ment of senate and house would be
likely.
1t is the belief of the committee that
in the short time before congress is con-
vened it would be practically impossible
TO frame, with any hope of it's adoption,
comprehensive currency measure that
would embrace all the larger questions
which will yet have to be dealt with.
The energies of the committee there
fore, are being devoted to paving the
way for the passage of simple bill to
meet present needs
When the formal conference of the
committee is resumed in the near future
at Senator Aldrich's home, the new
measure will be drafted.
