says be decorated on the sides with
variety of Kansas products. He will
also have exhibition cars containing
choice samples of same.
''Mr. Dixon has had wide experience
in past years equipping and managing
such trains from Oklahoma and Kansas
and which have proven successful in
giving wide publicity to the resources
and possibilities of the territory repre-
scented, and each and every one in Kan
sas should heartily cooperate in making
this the greatest agricultural exhibition
travelling. Kansas as usual is making
a splendid record in cereals and in sugar
beets. and this train should result in
liberal increase in population and man
ufactures in all portions of the state it
represents Very truly yours,

new OCEAN LINE.
Six Ships to Ply Between San Fran
cisco and Australia.

New York. June 5.-A British
steamship service is about to be
started between San Francisco and
Australia. The new line will take the
place of the American-Ocean line,
which recently went out of operation.
The first ship CT the new service will
sail on August 1.
The new service, which is to be
called the Australian mail line, is
backed by the British shipping firm of
Andrew Weir & Co. of London and
Glasgow. A monthly service will be
maintained.
First class mail will be carried as
Well as the parcels post.
Under the existing conditions the
first class mails are conveyed by the
Canadian Pacific service from VAN
couver. The parcels post is now car
r;ed by the direct lines running from
New York to Australia via the Cape of
Good Hope. The voyage from New
York to Sydney by this route takes Sc
days and to Auckland IS days. BY the
San Francisco route the average time
consumed to Sydney will be only 80
days and to Auckland 35 days.
The starting of the new service will
enable mail to the Antipodes to be
dispatched twice a month, and the
Vancouver route will continue to be
used.
The Australian mail line Will employ
six vessels on the, route. Each will
have freight carrying capacity of
5000 tons.

STAHL PICNIC JUNE 20.
This VIII Be the Twenty eighth An
nuaI Event.

Bills are out advertising the twenty
eighth annual picnic of the Usage and
Shawnee counties temperance and
Sunday school unions. which is COM
monty known as StahTs picnic This
picnic will be held at Stahis grove
near Auburn, week from Thursday,
June 20.
A good programme has been pro-
vided for this entertainment which in
cludes among many other features ex-
erciseS in which the various Sunday
schools near Auburn will participate.
James a. Troutman and Mrs. Mar
garet Hill McCarter, both of Topeka,
will be the principal speakers of the
occasion. In the evening a. play will
be given by the young people of the
neighborhood which promises TO be
very entertaining
This picnic was organized in 1880
and is to run SO years. At the time
the picnic was organized the prohibit
tory law was pending. 1t was formed
to create public opinion in favor of
the law and it now serves to create
public sentiment in favor of the en-
forcement of the law.
A brass band, merry-go-round
and several other attractions have
been booked and will form amusement
for the crowds. Seats will be fitted
up for two thousand people and
larger crowd than ever is looked for
at this time.
Frank NJ. Stah1, who Is the origin
ator of the picnic. is the president and
has charge of all the arrangements.

VOTING MACHINE CONTRACT.
Mayor VIII Not Sign Until 1t Is Con-
sidered Further.

The contract with the Columbia Vot-
ing Machine company which the coun-
ell instructed the mayor to sign will be
held up for at least another considera-
ton by the council. At the time of the
meeting the city attorney offered his
opinion that the manner of contracting
was not in accord with the powers of
the council but the vote was taken, re-
sulting in the instructions to the mayor.
AfterWard, the attention of the mayor
being directed to some cOnSidera lions
not before noticed resulted in his refusal
to complete the contract at this time.
The contract with the company called
for fifteen, machines. According to Mr..
Barr, the representative of the company,
the capacity of the machine is about 900
votes. The highest known number of
votes recorded by a machine was 1,134
at an election in Buffalo, New York
Very seldom the machine records more
than a thousand votes The report of
the committee was based upon voting
population of 5000. There is no doubt
that the voting population of the city
is greater than this. In the campaign
for mayor in 1901, there were 1858 votes
cast: while in 1908 the vote was 1882.
That vote cast four years ago indicates
that a conservative estimate of the vot-
ing population at present is at least
$4,000 1t is the opinion of the mayor
and city attorney and others to whom
they pointed out TINS increase tndC the
vote cannot be handled by fifteen ma
chimes in case full vote is turned out
and it is necessary that in providing
machines. the full vote should be count
ed upon.
The most important reason for post
poning. the purchase of the machines is,
however, that there is likely to be con-
siderable change in the election laws of
the state. There must be some change
before the machines can be used eco
No w a q "
for five officers of the election precinct.
Three are sufficient when machines are
used. but the law must be changed be-
fore the number can be reduced.

BUYS A SITE.
Madame NOrdica Spends $780,
900 for Land
On Which to Erect an Institute
of Music, on the Hudson.
AMERICAN BAYREUTH.
Such an Establishment Has
Been Dream of Her Life.
Best Teachers in the World
Are to Be Employed.

New York, June 5.-Madame Lii
liam Nordica. the Herald announces to-
day, Will esta blish on the Hudson, near
New York, a Bayreuth in America.
With part of her great fortune the
noted singer will erect the Lillian Nor
dica festival house. which will be to
this country what the famous operate
institution founded by Richard Wag-
ner and now maintained by his widow
is to Europe.
The site for the institution was pur-
chased yesterday for 100000 and
Madame Nordica expects that the
opera house will be ready for its for
NAL dedication one year from next
summer.
An American institute of music,
where American young men and wom-
en- who aspire to operate honors will
be taught by the foremost teachers in
the world is included in the plans of
the famous singer. In a statement in
which she announced her plans
Madame NOrdica said:
what you may. but the idea of found
ing in my country an American Bay
reuth has been my life's ambition.
All the years I have been singing I
have dreamed of such an institution.
Now 1 am able financially to start this
great project which 1 know will be an
Institution which after 1 am dead will
continue to grow and en1ighten the
people of this country who are now
awakening to the benefits to be de-
rived from a musical education such
as was not dreamed of ten years ago.
I'm this plan of mine L am assured
of the hearty cooperation of men and
women of wealth. The later years of
my life 1 hope to give entirelv to see
ing this great institution grow until it
can have no rival.
1.-THE buildings that will be a part
of the American institute of music
alone will cover four acres. They will
be erected close to the Lillian Nordica
festival house. In connection with the
institute there will be dormitories and
houses where the students at little ex-
pense will be able to live while pur-
suing thier musical studies.
Europe will contribute teachers
and they will be paid for their SER
vices more than they can hope to earn
abroad.
1.-The Lillian Nordica festival house
will be in every way an exact repro
duction of the theater erected by
Richard Wagner. The Wagner operas
will be given there in the summer with
the greatest artists in the world.

released, as the charges were SO clear
ly unfounded that even proslavery Of
fficials could not find further excuse to
hold them.
Mr.. Owen was a close observer of
with all reform movements. He joined
the Greenback party and later the
SociaIistc wing of the Peoples party.
He was close friend of the conserva-
tive elsment-such men as Otis and
PETER. He was one of the charter
directors of the Alliance Cooperative
Insurance company.
He was a direct descendant of Roger
Williams. His mother was Dorcas
Sayles, whose grandfather married
daughter of Roger Williams.
William Owen possessed many fine
traits of character. He was of ex-
children. He was the soul of honor,
and his word was good as his bond.
He was very modest and quiet in his
manner. But when he became inter-
ested in a discussion did not fail to
use the most vigorous and emphatic
language in maintaining his position.
He was a plain man, and had little
sham and hypocrisy in politics, society
or religion.
His property consisted mainly of
improved Shawnee county farms and
Topeka real estate. His wife and ten
children survive him, all of whom are
residents of Shawnee county, and were
present at the time of his death, with
one exception, a son, who was on his
way home from California.
