the aerenaut VIII attempt to land and
greet the President of the United States
In conversation this morning Beachey
expressed confidence that he could land in
the court of the White House with perfect
ease. The only thing that he will need In
the way of assistance, he claims. will be for
several men to hold the airship from TAX
ing flight before he is again ready to as
cend.
Throughout the morning he and his aids
were working getting the big gas bag In

With The big tent wherein the balloon is
confined while being Inflated are the gas

way of depending upon their own resources
instead of seeking outside aid for the gas

How do you feel now, Ed?"
Slowly and feebly the answer came:

In the rooms of the Associated Press in
The Star building today, and the following
tribute was ordered placed upon the records
of the club:
For more than seventeen years Edwin
Barrett Hay was connected with the Grid
iron Club. During this long period he not
oriy endeared himself to his fellow men,
bers by his unfafling urbanity of temper
his genial gn0d-fali0pvshin fHo cx,ls
traits of his unblemished character, but by
the display of his rare talents contributed
in unusual degree to the enjoyment of
those who were present at the entertafn-
ments of the club. He was loyal and sin
cere. an unselflsh and devoted friend: and
In placing upon the records of the club this
tribute to his worth. we feel that our In
adequate expression will be supplemented
In the future by an undying memory OF the
qualities which we learned to love and re-
spect in him during the long period Of our
association.
Commissioner Henry L. West, Jas s.

committee that drafted the resolutions AS

vital parts and we are brought down Never

had no expectation of having my place va
cant, but the Divine Creator has ordained
otherwise; and so. tossed by the wayside.
l am really and truly wrecked upon a
moss bed of regret that I cannot be there
tonight-except with all my heart and In
scintillatng spirit.
THE song about Let Me Like a Soldier
Fair must mean as with a pop and off:
but the meaningless struggle. with groans,
grlnds and spasms. that a retired soldier
must undergo. would be a sort of cowardiy

CONSERVATION reigns among the
members of the clerical force of the
various departments at the general Of
fees of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad in Topeka. on account of a
precedent tablished Last week by Of
hcials in the auditing department.
Salaries have been reduced in the
auditing departments, in instances,
variously estimated at from Is to Is,
Of old men who have spent years in the
service of the company, and have as
one official tersely put it, "outgrown
thelg usefulness.
Heads of the various auditing de-
partments deny that there has been
sweeping reduction of salaries, or that
the changes which were made last
week were the result of orders Issued
by superior officers at Chicago.
w J. aealy, audlIOr of freight e
ceipts, whose office force numbers up
wards of zoe men, admits that three
old men in his department were re
duced.
.'These changes, he said, were oc-
casioned by the fact that the men have
outgrown their usefulness, and were
unfit to handle work of the Importance
which they had heretofore handled
Consequently we had to put them at
work OF a minor character, with con-
sequent reduced salaries.
A. L. Conrad, auditor of disburse-
ments, admitted that one man in his
department had been reduced. He as
signed reasons essentially the same as
Mr.. Healy. Mr.. Conrad has about 100
clerks in his department.
j. F. Mitchell, passenger ticket au-
ditor, denied that any men have been
reduced IN his department, and said
that he had heard of no such order
emanating from Chicago.
One man who recently left the en-
ploy of the Santa E'e on account of
following up this fine Of reasoning
said today
1T occurs to me that 1t is an out
rage for a railway company like the
Santa Fe which is enjoying unusual
prosperity. to permit such a move as
this. It occurs to- me that it is es-
pecially aggravatfng at this time when
the company is ma king such a bid
for favor amongst the voters OF Kan
sals. Some roads IselsiOn men WAC
have grown old in the service and who
have as a consequence 'Outgrown their
usefulness. This move OF the Santa
Fe sets a bad precedent. There are
work, but only a comparatively small
number of positions paying above the
/ average in salaries. It is but poor in
centive to the young man to know
that If he isn't one of the fortunate
ones to win one of the higher salaried
positions that he will eventually be
kicked out as having 'outgrown his
usefulness
''It is we'll known among railway
men that although the Santa Fe rail-
road is more prosperous in proportion
/ to the mileage and money invested
/ than any other road in Kansas, yet
pay smaller wages to the officials, and
/ bers of the clerical force, than other
4 roads in the state"

FARMERS ERJOYED 1T.
Manhattan Experts Lectures at Wake
field Appreciated.

Wakefield, Kan, Oct. 8.=The farm
er's institute at Wakefield, Clay county,
Oct. 4 and 5 was complete success
and decided advance over former
years.
The new feature of the boys corn
growing contest added to the interest,
twenty-thTee bundles of ears being Of
fered in the competition of corn grown
by the boys from seed furnished by the
Agricultural college. The remarkably
fne show of live stock was a feature of
the institute, pronounced by Prof
Willard Of Manhattan superior to any
thing which he had seen in that line at
the county fairs Of the season
A very interesting programme was
arranged by the ladies for Thursday
afternoon with addresses by Mrs. J. T.
Mcfarland of Topeka, and Mrs. Lila
Day Monroe, also of Topeka, secretary
of the State Federation of Women's
Clubs.
In the mems part Of the programme,
in addition to home talent, instructive
address, were given by Profs. Ten
Eyck and Willard of the Agricultural
college. Prof. Ten Eyck's stereopticon
pictures of root growth explained at a
glance why deep cultivation is good for
sugar beets and bad for corn. and
showed how some plants, alfalfa espe-

fertilize the soil but open it up for the

Bob La Toilette passed through
Topeka Sunday night, on his way to
Ktngman, kan, where he lectures to-
night before d lecture course audience
Tuesday night he lectures at Tonkawa
Okla. as the opening number of the
State Normal school lecture course.
On "Wednesday at 1 O'Clock he speaks
in Hutchinson and Wednesday night
at Wichita, as the opening number of
the Friends university lecture course.
The only strictly political speech
which La Toilette viii make is the one
at Hutchinson Wednesday afternoon.
This speech was arranged and paid
Tor by William Allen White, W. n.
Stubbs and other members of the
square Deal league They wanted to
give La EoletIe q cnauce to come
back al Long right in the latter's own
baihWick, and il is expected that the
Wisconsin senator Will not neglect his
opportunity Senator Long mas an
nounced that he would not make any
further reference to La Toilette unless
la fouette continued TO attack him.
The determination OF La Toilette to
carry the night right into Long own
district is a declaration of war which
means trouble for the Kansas senator.
The arrangements for the Topeka
appearance of La Toilette were made
very unexpectedly. Mr.. Coons, La
Follette's manager, received a tele-
gram from La Toilette Sunday morn
ing stating that he would be able to
give Kansas one more day than
he had expected to. CoOns at once
took the matter up with Mr.. Foster.
and the drrangeme ents for the lecture
were made inside Of five minutes Mr.
Coons came to Topeka this morning to
arrange the details
Says la Toilette VIII Talk Back.
Mr.. Coons said this morning: Il am
well enough acquainted with Bob La
Toilette to know what ne viii do about
this Senator Long speech. He can t
keep still about it. La Toilette is not
ignorant of what has been going on.
He has kept himself posted on the sit
nation. and he has the material neces-
sary to take care of Long. I expect
that he will give Long the principle
part of his attention in the speech to
be delivered al Hutchinson on Wed
nesday afternoon. That is the only
strictly political speech he win make
while i'm the state, but this lecture
which La Toilette has on Representa-
tive Government is the kind of a talk
that can very easily be modified to sui
the needs of the occasion. People are
interested in the charges which La
Toilette made against Long. and thai
is what they want to hear him tall
about. He won't disappoint them

Havana, Oct. 8.-The reports receiv-
ed by the provisional government show
that the pacifieation of Cuba is prae-
tically complete with the exception Of
the province Of Santa Clara, where mat
ters are rapidly nearing a settlement.
The only trouble known to exist is at
Alquizar. province of Havana, where
the liberals and moderates are about
equally divided and irritation has been
caused by the reinstatement of lib
eral mayor. The disquieting condition
at Alquizar. however, has been caused
by the exuberance OF the more reckless
of the disbamded insurgents and it IS
believed that the 80 rural guards there
Will be able to keep the peace
The disturbance at Guines was sup
pressed last night. The disorderly in
surgents left the town and the marines
sent there report that the liberals cele-
bT'ation Of their victory passed off with
out any further disorder. None of the
n1enf cut with machetes was seriously
injured.
A closer examination of the rifles
surrendered by the Insurgents shows
that very few Of them are fit for any
thing but the scrap heap

tary Of State Bacon took up their resi-

MANY LOOMS ARE IDLE.
Advance in Wages Fails to Induce
Operatives to Return.

Providence, r. L, Oct. s.-Cotton mill
manufacturers in Rhode Island COM
plain of a scarcity of help in some de-
partments and assert that in this re-
spect the increase of wages granted ear
ly last summer did not have the bene-
fetal result hoped for. The increase
has not thus far drawn back a suffi-
cient number of those who left the mills
when wages were lower. In some Of the
mills at the present time more looms
are stopped than has been the case
heretofore in the history Of this state.
In one large mill there are said to be
500 looms idle, where a few years ago.
the number of applicants for work ex-
ceeded the demand. A fifth of the looms
in another large mill are said to be
stopped for want of operatives.
This scarcity of labor has brought
about keen competition among mill
officials in offering inducements to
families of workers to become per-
manent help.
