4 SLUG PRICE.
State Journal Carriers Route sells for
$1,O5O.

Since the new plan was adopted by
the State Journal Of adding the Sun-
day paper, but charging only the same
rate per copy for that, namely, one
cent, to carriers, the privilege for
carrying one route in Topeka has been
sold for 8. 1.050
This shows the State Journal must
have some circulation in that particular
territory.
1t happens to be the neighborhood in
which 11r. MacLennan's home is located,
1913 Topeka avenue.
The carrier who disposed Of his terri
tory, with the approval OF the State
Journal, it is understood, was expecting
to get 81 200. for his route. but since that
time he has disposed Of it for s1.05O He
paid $500 for the route to another carrier.
The State Journal never received any
thing for the privilege and never asked
anything but good service under its
rules. That's all it cares for.
The route became so large that the
State Journal suggested to Mr.. CottreTl.
who was carrying. that he divide the
route in two. This he did and disposed
of it to two carriers, one named Lee,
the other named TrulI.

ALLEN GETS ONE.
C. L. Evans Is Appointed Assistant
Attorney General.

The appointment of c. L. Evans. a
lawyer at LaHarpe, to be assistant at
torney. general for Allen county. was
yesterday announced by Gov. Hoch's
private secretary, F.. L. Williams.
Allen county was one of the first
counties of the state to ask Governor
Hoeh to give it an assistant attorney
general. F. H. Funston was the
original applicant for the place, but he
was turned down. Governor Hoch
wanted to give the county officers a
further trial, but at last became con-
vineed that they would not close the
joints.
It was at lola. in Allen county, that
the joints were dynamited not long ago
Congressman Charles F. Scott, editor
of the lola Register. was in Topeka
Tuesday, and it is thought that he
came for the purpose of urging the
appointment of an assistant attorney
general. Mr.. Scott's paper has been
making a hard fight against the joints
in lola. and Leslie Wallace, the city
editor was recently subpoenaed by the
county attorney TO tell where he oh
tanned a list of joints which he printed

by way of Lexington junction and this
trip IS made for the purpose of allowing
the officials of the road to see the con-
dition OF things along this line. Mr..

POSTPONED AGAIN.
One of Numerous Suits of RossingtOn
& Smith Against State journal.

The case of C. C. Coleman against
the State Journal wherein Ross5ngton
& Smith are endeavoring to secure for
their client S15,0 200 from the proprietor
of this paper, and which case was set
for trial November s, has been post
poned until December. We don't know
who postponed it. The attorneys say
1t was by agreement"
The case of J. r. Burrow, who also
through Rossington e Smith, is trying
to get $4,000 from this paper, has not
yet been set for trial.
The case of I. l. Dayhof, superin-
tendent, for whom Rossington & Smith
are also trying to get $4,000 more
from the proprietor of this paper, has
not been set.
The State Journal made an effort to
get these cases tried before election a
year ago. These three cases involve
only the sum of $4,000.
Rossington & Smith are engaged in
another case in which they are trying
to make the district court run SIS pa
per, or at least say what we shall
charge for it. This is very vital mat
ter to the State Journal and RossingtOn
& Smith, of course, cannot blame US for
paying little attention to the S45 600
Rossington & Smith, through the dis
trict court, are going to compel us to
sell seven papers for six cents, when
our price to carriers is one cent for
each and every copy, seven cents for
seven papers; and then Rossington &
Smiths clients are asking that we
abandon the Sunday edition and return
to six papers for dime. We prefer to
give seven.

MAY REOPEN DIVORCE.
Effort viii Be Made to Reopen
Jerome Curry Case.

A suit will probably be filed IN the
district court in a few days to set
aside the Curry divorce case.
At the term of court last April q
divorce was granted to Jerome Curry
from his wife, Maggie Curry, the case
being filed on April 18th and the d1-
vorce granted on the 21th day OF May.
Mr.. Curry is the vice president and
manager of the Central Sash and
Door company, a large manufacturing
concern doing business On the north
side of the river
The utmost secrecy prevailed during
the trial of the case and everything pos
sible was done to prevent the facts from
becoming public. The case was docket
ed and numbered in the regular way
but was numbered 232341s, the half be-
ing used to keep the divorce from be-
coming known to the public and TO
throw the newspapers off of the track.
A short notice Of the granting of the
divorce however appeared in the State
Journal at that time.
Instead of being placed on the appear
ance docket in regular order it was
carried to the last page of the docket
These proceedings in themselves indi-
cate irregularities of some kind or an
other These Irregularities are hinted
at in a letter received several days ago
from a representative of Mrs. Curry,
who is now living with her mother in
The letter states that Mrs. Curry just
learned a few days ago that divorce
proceedings had been commenced
against her and writes for advice as
to how to proceed in the matter.
Another peculiar feature of the case
is that the papers in the case show
personal service in the case, while Mrs.
Curry says that she never even heard
that the divorce was contemplated
The petition upon which the divorce
was obtained recites extreme cruelty as
the grounds and then particularizes.

Sharp Advance Due to Labor Troubles
in Russia.

Chicago, Oct. 26.-Sharp advances
in the price of wheat occurred here
today, the May delivery at one time be-

at the highest point of the day, final
quotations on May being at 91h a

shadowing a possible stoppage of all
shipments IF grain from that country,
was the cause of the sensational rise in
values.

Half Cents.

lowest Is Given to Reach
Minneapolis.
Action of the Company Is a
Surprise.

That the war on grain rates which
was on in a vigorous fashion between
the railroads last summer is practically
at an end was evidenced today, when
announcement was made at the general
freight department of the Atchison, To-
pelza & Santa Fe that new rates on
grain had been decided upon, which will
go into effect on January 1, and which
in all instances are increases over the
rates that have prevailed, varing from
half a cent a hundred pounds to two
and three-quaFters cents.
These new rates are of proportional
character on through shipments from
the lower Missouri river points. They
90 not apply as local rates.
1t was explained at the freight de-
partment that the increases merely
placed the grain rates back at the
normal figures which existed prior to
the grain rate war
Rates on grain on the Santa Fe were
increased tTifle on October 1 and the
new increases made are not over the
figures promulgated at that time but
over the rates that existed when the
grain rate war was on.
The new rates are shown by the fol-
lowing table and are from Kansas City,
st. Joe, Atchison and Leavenworth:

DON'T BOLT YOUR FOOD.
There In Pleasure M Well ~ Health
In Deliberate Eating.

There In Pleasure as Well ~ Health
In Deliberate Eating.
Fast eating is sure to be injurious,
because to properly prepare the food
for digestion it must be thoroughly
masticated.
Rapid eating is still worse when It Is
caused by the hurry Of business or ~
anxiety or nervous irritability or BY
the common habit of "bolting' the food.
Such eating is sure to produce indiges-
ton or dyspepsia.
The teeth, as well as the stomach,
are made for labor, and neither Can
have their proper work to do IL only
paps and broths and puddings and
hashes and other soft and arhhcAlN
prepared foods are crowded into the
stomach as though the cook IN The
kitchen could masticate and digeststnS
food better than the natural grfndkts
and the chemical action and assimilAt-
ing power Of the stomach.
Those people who shovel. great vulgar
mouthfuls Of food Into their mouths
and bolt it down as though they bad
but ten minutes for a meal are gor-
mandizers instead Of polite people.
They know little Of the pleasure Of
deliberate eating or the luxury Of sat
isfying hunger, and certainly they are
laying the foundation Of disease.
Dry, hard food, vigorously cheYed,
stimulates the flow Of saliya, Strength
ems the teeth and keeps them heaithy

The Lions md the Lamb.

Some 800 years ago King James 1. Of
England visited the lions then kept in
London Tower, the show from which is
derived "the lions" in the sense of the
sights of place. The king had had an
arena built on to their cages for fights
with bears, dogs and bulls, but the two
lions that entered it on this day simply
stood blinking. Two tracks of mutton"
and "a lusty live cock" were success
sively thrown to them and devoured.
after this the king caused live lamb
to be easily let down unto them by q
rope and being come to the ground the
lamb lay upon his knees, and both the
lions stood in their former places and
only beheld the lamb, but presently
the lamb rose up and went unto the
lions, which very gently looked upon
him and smelled on him without sign
of any further hurt" However, lion
md mastiff fight that followed was

ship surgeon leads, in fact, practically
the same kind of life as his confrere
ashore He is busy man. The larger
vessels seldom carry fewer than 500
people on each trip, and in the summer
months 1,500 would be nearer an ay-
erage number.
Each one of these persons, in what
ever class. is privileged to call on the
surgeon at any time, day or night. And
the average passenger feels free to ex-
ercise his privilege His ailments are
the same at sea as ashore, augmented
by the troubles peculiar to the sea, and
If anything he is more particular when
on the water than when ashore. Prob
ably the ships doctor listens to more
tales of woe in one trip than he would
hear in six months ashore.
1t will be seen that the surgeon Of
the big transatlantic liner is no drone.
His working hours are long, and much
of his leisure time Is taken up in the
study and the perusal of the medical
literature. of which he usually has a
generous supply. The surgeons library
is ample and up to date and his med
ical and surgical equipment of the best.
He therefore who supposes that the
doctor at sea is not the peer of the doc
tor ashore should at once disabuse his
mind of that impression. The medical
profession has no more high minded,
earnest and hardworklng representa-
tives than the ones who go down to
the sea in ships-New York Times.

The Ice of Greenland.

The largest mass of ice in the world
is probably the one which fills up near
ly the whole of the interior of Green
land, where it has accumulated since
before the dawn Of history. 1t is be-
lieved to now form a block about 600,-
600 square miles in area and averag-
ing a mile and a half in thickness.
According to these statistics, the lump
of ice is larger in volume than the
whole body Of water In the Mediter-
ranean. and there is enough of it to
cover the whole of the United King
dom Of Great Britain and Ireland with
a layer about seven miles thick. If it
were cut into two convenient slabs
and built up equally upon the entire
surface of gallant little Wales" it
would form pile more than 100 miles
high. There is ice enough in Green
land to bury the entire area of the

That the earth will eventually dry up
and all living things will die Of thirst
is the theory OF scientific writer. He
says that In both Africa and Asia, and
indeed In all the great levels Of the
world, the water beds are drying up.
Many lakes well known during the his
torical period have entirely disappear
ed, while others are shrinking rapidly.
Explorations in central Asia have
proved that for centuries zone stretch
ing from the east to the southeast of
this part of the cars dominion has
been drying up. Deserts are gradually
spreading. and reports show that it Is
only in the neighborhood Of mountains,
round whose brows vapors condense
and fall, that irrigation can be carried
on or life itself can be preserved"
