cause people who growto depend

my critics have found fault with
Inc for not being strenuous,

strange to Inc thatmy object can

heart, that happiness depends
upon strenuous energy; but l
think that this energy ought to
be expended upon work, and ev-
eryday life, and relations with
Others, and the accessible pleas
ures of literature and art. The
gospel that l detest is the gospel
OF success, the teaching that ev--
eryone ought to be discontented

FIND A LOOP HOLE.
North Topeka Opponents of Brick
Paving May Bring Suit

1t is claimed that some of the enc
mics to the paving of North Kansas av-
enue and Central avenue are hoping to
knock out the contemplated improve
mentS under a technicality.
The hopes, it is said, are founded on
the expectation that combined cement
curbing and gutter will be adopted. If
the combined curb and gutter is put in

ment so feet as petitioned to AZ feet
Assistant City Attorney Ralston does
not believe that there is much danger
from the city becoming involved in a
controversy of this character. though
admitting that it might be raised and
some trouble encountered.
The fight against the paving could be
precipitated upon the basis that the
petitions called for so foot pavement
and that the contract would not give
what the petitioners had demanded.
The point raised is at least an in
teresting one.
that the cement culb and gutter COM
bined is the best thing for North Tope-
ka because of the light grade that ex-
lists on that side. A cement curb and
gutter would permit of a better flow
OF water With less amount of friction
is the belief of Mr.. Rodgers.
II don't recommend it for this side of
the river where the new paving will
join on to other paving because of the
lack of conformity said Mr.. Rodgers.

Another Statement From Hill.
Burton Hill this morning gave out
written statement, which in some
particulars amends his statements
made yesterday. He claims in his
written statement that he was simply
acting as the agent for Kinnear, and
makes Kinnear bear the burden of the
Offense. The statement follows:
n short time ago a friend of mine
called up asking me to secure him a
copy of the medical questions. This
man being a pharmacist l concluded
he wanted them simply to study and
being a well posted man and a great
student 1 presumed this was his only
object in wanting them. 1 did not try
to get them for several days. in fact 1
forgot all about it, being busy at the
time establishing myself in a new
business. He called again asking me
to assist him knowing 1 had been en-
plOyed al the state printing office.
He drove over with me and said to
say to the janitor "he would give SIS
and afterwards said he would give
$40 for his trouble" The janitor said
he would try to get them. 1 have
never asked this party what he want
ed of the questions as l never Ques-
toned his honesty. 1t never occurred
to me he would sell the questions and
do not think now he is the guilty
party. 1 thought as did my parents
he wished to look them over in view
some time of studying medicine as he
had often remarked to the folks he
regretted not having studied medicine
instead of stopping at pharmacy. In
talking to Mr.. McNeal l did not in
tend to have him understand 1 was
offering money myself for the ques-
the party in question. However, this
man never offered me money to Sc
cure them only said he would pay the
janitor for his trouble. I had no in
terest in it whatever, only so far as
one would accommodate a friend.
This man is not a medical student.
have always tried to conduct myself
and my business in a straightforward,
honest manner and believe 1 have as
spotless a character as farther in
vestigation would prove and 1 have
in my possession a letter from the
late Geo. Tincher under whom
worked for seven years, to sub
stantiate this. 1 can only say it was
an act of mistaken kindness on my
part. and not a consideration of
money, and 1 think further investiga-
ton would prove this. 1t has later de-
veloped the questions were taken out
before I was at the Office, but the
guilty parties if employed at this time
at the office would undoubtedly at
tach all of the blame to me to clear
themselves. B. w. HILL.

curb and gutter of another variety for
the other blocks. The cement must be
mixed in Il protected place If the tenn
perature is at 35 or below and in some
cases the sand would have to be heat
ed. In other cases the cement of course
can be mixed right in the OPEN.
The cement curb contractor is going
to have a hard row to hoe with the
delay in the paving operations this year.
If the contracts granted simply call for
North Topeka paving the cement curb
contractors can get through probably
before the first frost appears, but if he
is successful in getting all of the con-
tracts all over the city it will be i'm
possible to more than get half way
through.
For the past 20 years the average
time when the first frost appears in
Topeka is October IL. the earliest time
on record being September 10, records
of frost showing that on seven different
occasions during the past 20 years
frosts occurred during the month of
September.

A UNIVERSAL FOOD
Following Natures Footsteps.

Il have a boy two years old. weighing
forty pounds and in perfect health who
has been raised on Grape Nuts and milk.
This is an ideal food and evidently
furnishes the elements necessary for a
baby as we'll as for adults. We have
used Grape-Nuts in large quantities and
greatly to our advantage.
One advantage about Grape-Nuts
Food is that it is pre-digested in the
process of manufacture; that is. the
starch contained in the wheat and bar
ley is transformed into grape-sugar by
exactly the same method as this process
is carried out in the human body, that
is, by the use of moisture and long ex-
posture to moderate warmth, which
grows the diastase in the grains and
makes the remarkable change from
starch to grape-sugar.
Therefore, the most delicate stomach
can handle Graue-Nuts and the food is
quickly absorbed into the blood and It's
sues, certain parts of it going directly
to building and nourishing the brain
and nerve centres. There's a Reason"

CAT OUT OF BAG.
Ed Kinnear Secret Man in
State Printing Scandal.
Burt Hill Says He Doesn't
Want to Give Name.
CAN NOT BE FOUND.
Accused Man Is Out OF the
City.
Additional Statements Are
Given Out Today.

1t has been learned that the To-
peka pharmacist who was mixed UP
with Burt Hill in the deal for the
medical examination questions was Ed
Kinnear, who rooms over Beach's gro
Gerry store at 21S West Sixth street.
Burt Hill. when confronted with
the fact that Kinnear was the one
upon whom he places the blame for
getting him mixed up in the affair, did
not attempt to make any denial.
Il don't want to give the fellows
name" he persisted, unless I have to.
I don't like to squeal.'
One of the other members of the
family when informed that Kinnear
was the man. said hastily:
How did you find out?" and then
tried to rectify the slip by saying that
nothing had been admitted concerning
the identity of the man who is accused
by Hill by inducing him to try to get
possession of the questions.
Mrs. Hallock Hill. the mother of
Burt Hill, said this morning:
I'VE want to see this party you
mention-that is. mean the man who
got Burt into this-and had a long
talk with him this morning. We
wanted him to step out and tell the
facts about this matter, and put Burt
in the right light, but he refused. We
also consulted a lawyer, and he ad-
vised us to give notice that unless the
fellow came forward voluntarily and
gave his statement. we would not pro-
tect him longer. But while 1 don t
feel that we are under any obligations
to protect this man. 1 don't blame
Burt for refusing to give his name. If
it becomes necessary, Burt will tell
who it was"
4 reporter for the State Journal
made an effort to locate Kinnear this
morning, but failed to find him. He
has worked at Klingaman's drug store
until recently. but his present place
of employment could not be learned.
1t Is Grand Larceny.
There is a statute ma king it a crime
to attempt to bride a public officer to
violate his duty, and this offense is adj
mitted by Burt Hill. who says that he
tried to bride several employees of the
state printing plant.
There is also a law defining as grand
larceny any theft of papers in any
public office. In case the person who
stole the examination questions from
the state printing plant can be located,
he might be punishable under this
statute.

GLASS PLANT BURNS.
Loss to the Cheyenne Works at Caney
Estimated 1T $4,000.

Caney. Kan. June 1S.-A fire at
the Cheyenne glass plant destroyed
the entire blowing room. The fire

where the large cylinders are made. A
workman broke a cylinder, the glass
falling to the basement through the
swing hole. A portion of red hot
glass fell against a piece of iron at
tached to a timber and a fire was
started.
The blowing room and tank is a
complete ruin. Falling timbers broke
the tank. and the molten glass covers
the ground for several rods. Most of
the wcrkmen lost their clothing and
their blow pipe. The loss to the COM
pany is estimated at 100000, partially
covered by insurance. The building
will be rebuilt. The Cheyenne is a
