P. 0. CLERKS ASSESSED
Five Per Cent of Salaries Went Into
the Campaign Fund.

Washington, Oct. THE civil ser
vice commission is preparing to for
ward a circular letter to all govern
ment employees warning them against
campaign contributions as in violation
of law. The letter is like those ordi-
narily circulated when election cam
paigns are in progress but the neces-
sity for warning was emphasized by d
discovery by Commissioner Green
when engaged recently in investigating
difficulties between the postmaster
at Goshen, Ind, and his clerks. Mr..
Green reported to the commission
when the clerks were under examina-
ton they told him that during the
campaign of 1902 they had contributed
per cent of their respective salaries
to the Republican state campaign fund
and that the contributions were made
through United States Circuit Judge
Baker who resides at that place.
When questioned on the subject Judge
Baker is said to have admitted the
truth of the statement. The sums
contributed were not large and as it
did not appear there had been recent
offense the commission did not feel
justified in making a formal charge
against Judge Baker.

'-Of course we expect to win the two
games on this trip said Captain Poo

any large scores. We had a hard game
with the College of Emporia last we'd

not to overdo the football business
We are in pretty good shape. We are
weak at the center of the line and at

MISSOURI SHOWS Up WELL.
Defeat Simpson College by Score Of
26 to Q.

Columbia, No. Oct. Missouri
battIed against the Simpson college
team on Rollins field Friday afternoon
and won by a score of 26 to O.. Simp-
son was outclassed from the start. 1t
made first down only once during the
game and gained a total of less than
thirty yards. It had the ball but once
in the second half. The Missouri team
showed great improvement over its
work in the Kirksville game week
ago.
The Missouri linemen piled up the
Simpson backs on the line of scrim-
mage almost every time they tried to
come through At each snap of the
ban the Tigers got the jump on their
opponents. The Missouri team could
have doubled the score had Coach Nc
Lean kept the regulars in throughout
the game After the first touchdown
he began to substitute rapidly and used
twenty-four men during the game
Eleven men were tried out in the back
field. and from their work it is certain
that Missouri has excellent material
for this department of the game me
length of the halves was very short,
the first half being twenty minutes ana
the second fifteen.

DRIYE RATs ANp MIcR oUT OF Doors

The objection to the ordinary rat
and mice poison in the past has been
that while it kills the vernin, they
are liable to crawl between the floors
and die, thus creating a disagreeabI
odor. A recent discovery of science,
Stearns' Electric Rat and Roach Paste
contains a peculiar chemical that &C
tually burns up the stomach of the
rats and mice who eat it, and drives
them out of the house to die. It is
sure death. and can be depended upon
to rid the home, barn or store of all
rats, mice, cockroaches, water bugs,
bed bugs, etc.

Play Topeka Nine.


Dick Cooley, debonair and prim as
New England old maid, came to To-
peka Friday and put on the harness in
behalf of the Topeka franchise in the
Western association. Late in the
afternoon, with Herman Crow, he
made the first payment on his pur-
chase and is now q full fedged mag
nate in the Shiveley circuit.
The principal matter about which
Dick engaged himself, however, was to
talk cup" Sundays exhibition ball
game between a team COMPOSED Of
''pfck-ups" which he himself will han
die, and the crack team from the Kan
sas City Athletic club which won the
city league pennant in Kansas City this
last summer.

pitcher; Cooley, first base; Perrine,
second base; White, short stop; Brown,

Allen. pitcher; Riddle, first base; Nal
Ion, second base; Smith, short stop;
Owens, third base; Burrows, left field;
Cotton, center field; Hallen, right field.
It will be seen from these lists that
some very high grade men are or both
teams. The crowd which will wear
the blue and white of Topeka are an
especially fine array. Eels. with the
Kansas City Blues all of this year, and
a part of last after his release from
the other side, "Pete" Allen, the for
mer Kansas university star, will APP
pear. Allen played with the Kansas

The game will be called at O'Clock,

BladStreet7S says:
Collections for the country as
whole are good. Money is still moving
to the country. and while a liberal sup
ply for ordinary trade purposes higher
quotations at home and abroad seem
certain. Bank cIearings testify to new
heights being reached for this season OF
the year, after a full year of record
breaking totals at the metropolis and
in the country outside thereof. Some
thing like a downward swing in prices
of agricultural products is in evidence
this week, a result of the pressure of
new large crops of fine quality, which
augurs for lower prices of feeding stuffs
and cheaper cost of meat production are
coming this winter
I'm the east, although the late decline
in cotton has led to some hesitation in
placing orders for later delivery, some
large sales of print cloths are reported.

HE TALKS OF ETERNITY
DR.. Chapman's Subject at the Audi
torium Last Night.

''Where will you spend your Eterni-
ty?'-a subject as old as the hills. but
without whose discussion no evange-
listic meetings are complete, served as
the text for DR.. J. Wilbur ChaDman's
sermon to over 1900 people at the
Auditorium on Friday night.
The fifth chapter of jeremiah. the
lamenting prophet. furnished the text:
What will you do in the end?"
'Tll change that a little" said DR..
Chapman. III say, Where will you
spend your eternity? But for the sake
of brevity We'll change it again, 'Eter-
nifty, where?' .
DR.. Chapman did not enliven his
subject with any theories as to the
plan or scope of eternity, he did not
talk in scientific circles" as a famous
man expresses it, but he simply asked
each man and woman in the house to
consider the problem for himself and
herself
Sometime ago" said DR.. Chapman,
Il asked a college professor of great
repute, What is eternity?'"
+" Where computation leaves off, -
was his reply.
/" But I cannot explain that was my
reply to him.
Then go as far as human mind
can carry man. said the professor.
When you get to the very end. drive
a stake, and there begins eternity
"A time comes to every man." said
Dr.. Chapman, when he sits quietly in
his office, before his fireside. when he
walks the streets. and sees nothing
else and hears nothing else. and has
but one word on his mind. 1t is 'Eter-
nifty And he asks himself the Ques-
ton. Why and Where over and over
again
1T is something that you must de-
eide for yourself 1t is a great Ques-
ton, one of immense compass and in
.dividuality and you alone can settle it.
Do it today. Do it now. Do not wait.
You know not when death may come.
1t may be tonight. it may be tomor-
row, it may still be a long time. But
you must be in readiness"
Mr.. Fred Butler added immensely TO
the effect of the sermon. by singing al
its conclusion the old hymn, Where
" i'll You Spend Your Eternity?" He
did it well, as he does all things well
which he undertakes to sing. He had
the audience in his power.
After the song was completed. peo-
pie who wanted prayers said for them
were asked to raise their hands. Fully
90 did SO, and almost that number
signed pledge cards to lead better lives.
