Bosses Refuse to Discuss the
Situation.

| Pursuant to the orders of the ex-

job printers went out on a strike this
morning at o'clock from the Hall
Lithographing company, the Adams
Brothers Printing company and the
Crane Printing company. According
to statements issued from the office of
each affected concern, about Is men
walked out of the first named place,
five out of the second, and six out Of
the third. The Mail Printing house
seeded from the National Typothetae
and then granted the Typographical
union its full demands. A full force
was at work at the Kansas Farmer
this morning. H. A. Heath stated that
he looked for no trouble. The print
ers expect the Farmer to accede by
night to their demands as did the Mail
Printing company. None of the regu-
lar daily newspapers in the city are in
any way affected. The job printers in
these concerns are working under a
two years contract.
The difficulty is over an eight hour
day at salary of sixteen dollars The
International Typographical union
two years ago announced that on jan
uary 1, 1906, this schedule of hours

into effect all over the country. An
agreement was sought with the Ma

the city of Niagara last week. The
Typothetae absolutely turned down
the demand.

NUDGE SAYS IT'S TRUE
Santa Fe Trying to Buy st. Louis
Line.

H. u. Nudge, second vice president
of the Rock Island, arrived in Topeka.
from Chicago at an early hour this
morning and left with a party of Rock
Island officials in special train of
two private cars at 9:30 o'clock on a
trip of inspection over the Kansas d.
vision of the road. In the party were
d. E. Cain, general manager of the
road; ]. B. sSmaliey, superintendent of
the southwest division and J. B. Bloom,
engineer of maintenance. The party
will be on the trip for three or four
days, and it is being made principally
to see how the work of improvement to
the roadbed in the various parts of
the division is progressing.
I'VE are making every effort said
Mr.. Nudge, ITO do all the work posi-
bic towards improving our roadbed
over the entire system by reballasting
and laying new rails and the work is
progressing favorably. We are unable
to get all the men we want to work
on the road. Ten million dollars was
set aside by the executive committee
for the general improvement of the
road and because of lack of help and
material we will not, of course, be
able to spend all this money this year.
We are working hard, however, and it
won't be long before the Rock Island
will be in as good condition as any
for enough S5-potnds steel rails this
year to lay 2z2 miles cof new track
and a good portion of this has been
laid -" ers 80 500
Mr. Nudge said that he thought the
road would need about 40, 600 tons of
steel rails next year. rs
Confirmation was made by MH
Nudge of the report that the Santa Fe
is endeavoring to purchase the Rock
Island, ST. Louis and Kansas City line.
Mr.. Nudge said that he presumed a
conference regarding the sale of the
road would be resumed in Chicago
within few weeks, as soon as Robert
Mather, chairman of the executive
board of the Rock Island, returns to
that city.
Mr.. Nudge said that he did not be-
lieye there was much in the report
that the Rock Island was contemplat-
ing the Sierra Madre railroad which
runs from Texas into Mexico.

How many is that?''
you might as well ask me how
many dollars 1 have in the bank this
morning." And with this he concluded
his interview.
George Crawford of the Mail Printing
House was called upon. He frankly
stated that his concern had acceded to
the demands of the union and would
secede from the National Typothetae.
why did you do it?'' was asked.

from a business standpoint and came
to that conclusion

going to bother u.s. tbs understood
that the Farmer will accede to the de-
mands.
One prominent member of the
Typographical union said today: 1.-THE
Typothetae offices in Topeka that do,
not secede from their organization and
sign up an eight hour contract, are up
against the real thing. The newspa-
pers of the city, who employ half of
the printers here, are now and have
been for several years working under
an eight hour contract and are pay
ing $3.50 more a week than the job
offices have been paying for nine
hours. The state employs one-half of
the book and job men here. and the
state law says eight hours is days
work, hence its printers are working
but eight hours a day for the same pay
hours. Unless they meet the prevail
ing conditions, they can expect to
draw their supply of printers from the
discard

Myrtle Chadwell, who is the cow girl
with the outfit, had received the smiles
of the handsome young fastener and
apparently appreciated them. for when
she was let into the secret of the joke
that was to be played on the young ten
derfoot by the cowboys she hes1tated
for moment between her duty to the
COW punchers as a COW girl pal and her
duty as woman to the young eastern
err Finally succumbing to the womanly
instincts she called young Carter aside
and told him of the arrangements en-
tered into by the COW punchers and as
a result another saddle was used and
the stirrups were hobbled so that they
held. All of these precautions were I'M
necessary for the tenderfoot made good
and rode his mount without even think
ing of hunting leather and as he left
the arena he was probably more proud
of his successful ride than he would
have been of winning in successful
conquest in the 400 list of New York s
society, for he had made good with the
cowboys.

GOOD news IT IS,
Reported Underwriting of Dew
lin Business Today.
Claimed That w. X. Gillette of
New York Is Arranging 1t.

Those who are promoting the underwrit-
ing of the liabilities of c. J. Devlin claim
that the contamination of their fondiy
hoped-for scheme is assured. Word was
received from c. S. Downing of Kansas
City, who is interested in the proposition
by Receiver Bradley of the First National
bank In this letter Mr.. Downing stated
that the underwriting of Mr.. Devlin's La
bilities was practically assured. The name
of w. K. Gillette is used in connection
with the scheme to underwrite-
Gillette was formerly general auditor
in the employ of the Santa Fe railroad,
but left the employ of that road about two
out as a Wall street broker. He has I'M
dertaken to interest eastern capitalists in
TO take such a step provided an audit of
the accounts of Devlin by Haskins and
Sells, certified accountants of Chicago,
would show sufficient assets to offset the
liabilities.
Receiver Bradley is not entirely optimis-
tic of the results of Gillette's efforts. He
said: In all of this talk they have not
yet come to the creditors and made a
proposal to them for discharging the &C
counts which they hold against Deviin ana
until they do 1 won't look forward with
any great degree of expectancy. under
stand that this Gillette is quite a friend
of Devlin's and that when the latter ar
rived in New York on his trip to Ireland
that Gillette met him and proposed this
scheme of underwriting. l don't know
who Gillette has interested in this venture.
If he is successful in bringing it to an is
sue we can wind I'D the affairs of this
receivershfp in a very short time This
would mean that the depositors would be
paid or in full and l don't think that
would take longer than three months"

that he knew nothing further than
the knowledge conveyed by Down
at that news. IF that is true it is GER

UNDER THEIR FEET
Teddie Blackburn, Cowboy, Hurt
by Steers.
Brushed Off in Herd During
Riding Contest.
CALLS FOR HIS BRONCO
Refused to Ride to Hospital in
Wagon.
Accident Caused BY Breaking of
a Rope.
CALLS FOR HIS BRONCO


There were several things doing last
night at the show given by the Miller
Brothers of the 10I Ranch that were
not on the program. In the steer rid
ing contest the mount ridden by Ted
die Blackburn ran into the bunch of
long horns and the rider was dragged
off and severely injured.
In the closing of the steer riding con-
test Teddie Blackburn. who is admitted
to be the best in his line of business,
has for his mount big brindle long
horn known as New York. This crit
ter is the most vicious of his kind and
Blackburn is the only man who will
ride him. Last night one of the ropes
which are supposed to keep the wild
steer in the center of the ring, broke,
and. with a hair-raising below he
started for the corner to get into the
bunch of steers standing there so that
he might brush off the rider, who so
far he had never been able to throw.
AS soon as the big steer reached the
bunch he made straight through it
with the result that the rider was
scraped from his back and badly
trampled. With the true pluck that
characterizes the genuine COW boys
Blackburn dragged himself from the
arena, and as he laid on the ground in
a half conscious condition he heard
LaCk MlllSf CrQer OUT the Ola stage
coach to be used as an ambulance to
haul him to the camp. With a motion
of the hand he beckoned the boss of
the outfit and said: s'Cut that out;
have one of the boys bring my bronx
over and in a few minutes 1 will be all
right and will ride him over. No
wagon for me until they plant me
for good, and now is not the time"
To a reporter his only solicitation
seemed to be the fear that it would be
published that he had been thrown
from his mount. The fact that his
nose was broken, his face bruised and
his internal organism disarranged did
no seem to disturb him in the least.
The brindle steer which did the work
is one that was used by an eastern
company in producing a wild west
show and was entirely too enthusiastic
in it's efforts to make the game true
as it is played in the western world for
tn eastern company. This is the same
steer that some months ago during a
wild west show being given in the
Auditorium in New York City, bolted
the arena and started I'D the stairway
leading to the parquet, stampeding
10000 people, and not stopping until
it had reached the third story of the
building and was ready to descend.
There was not policeman on the New
York force that thought enough of his
erner. The authorities protested
against the use of such vicious ami
NAL in the arena. Miller Brothers
heard of this and purchased the animal
for they are looking for outlaws of
every class. Blackburn will be in. the
hospital tent for a while, but his in
juries are not likely to prove fatal.

of Foods
A Practice That Cannot Be too Strong
ly Condemned. Adequate Laws
Should Be Passed at Once


The people of the United States GER
tainly have right to demand pure
food laws of the most rigid character
and they should be enforced without
fear or favor. Adulteration and sub
stitution are not alone dangerous, but
positively dishonest and should be
brought to an end
Many physicians ascribe the great
prevalence of dyspepsia, constipation
and other arrangements of the diges-
tive tract to impure or improper food.
Good, plain, wholesome food is the
best, of course, always.
No food that is adulterated or a
substitute should be sold except for
exactly what it is. The Malta-Vita
Pure Food Co. offers to the public the
breakfast food that is not only the
most delicious you ever tasted, but it
is an absolutely pure grain product.
No foreign substance is used to sweet
en- it. It is made of the best wheat
grown, treated with barley malt which,
acting upon the gelatinized starch of
the wheat, turns into Maltese or Malt
Sugar. which gives it that delicate, de-
licious sweetness that all Malta-Vita
users miss when they try any other
breakfast food and sugar, syrup or
glucose sweetened breakfast foods
cannot replace it.
The great value of Maltese as a nu-
tritive substance cannot be exagger-
ated. In the living organism it is
transformed INTO aSS1fn1id sugar
more rapidly than saccharose or cane
sugar. 1t is very easy to digest and,
having not so sweet a taste as cane
sugar, it can be taken in much greater
quantities than the latter.
"Malta-Vita'' is no meaningless
coined word; it stands for it's literal
translation from the Latin and means
exactly what it says-"Malt Life"
The original phrase For the blood is
the life'' is the starting point and
final winning post of Malta-vita,
which contains a considerable per-
centage of Maltese, natural sweeten-
ing agent, easily digestible and readily
assimilated by the human economy
forming rich healthy blood.
Malta-Vita is appetizing in the
morning, at noon and at night. 1t
puts the tingle of new life into slug
gish blood, builds up bone and muscle,
refreshes the brain and nerves
And Malta-Vita is so good to eati
One dish of it, with little cream or
fruit will start the day just right for
you It is the perfect food for chill
dren and grown folks.
-vita-so delicious that it
melts in the mouth, so crisp, so re-
freshing, so sadsfying-is 10 cents now
at all grocers. Same high quality,
same big packages as when sold for
10 cents.
