Another Widows Cruise.

A good joke IL told on Rich
Keith. He went To Mrs.
Duncan's, near Shackleford,
with his outfit To thresh her
wheat this week. Mrs. Dun
can had 90 acres In wheat
which she estimated would
yield only about 100 bushels
and apparently had enough
sacks on hand. When they
began threshipg and the
wheat came fast the sacks
were soon filed. Then came
the trouble. A search was
made for sacks among the
neighbors until that part OF
country had been completely
exhausted. There were just
500 bushels OF wheat and now
Mr.. Keith wants credit for
this big crop. He'd better
go TO Sunday School and learn
about the widows cruise.

CAUGHT IN SHAFTING.
Benjamin Grainson Is Seriously Hurt
at a Laundry.

Benjamin Grainson, an emplOye of
the iCty Hand laundry had a narrow
escape from death this morning when
his clothing became entangled in over
head shafting while he was attempting
to adjust a belt while the machinery
was in motion. AS the matter now
stands there is chance that he will
lose his left arm which was badly
fractured.
The injured man had gone to the
basement of the laundry building where
the washing machines are located and
was alone at the time of the accident.
One of the belts had slipped from the
pulley and in attempting to adjust 1T
a set screw caught in his clothing and
his arm was slowly wound about the
pulley shaft while the unfortunate man
screamed for help.
His cries were heard by ]. H. Ulsh,
the proprietor, who rushed to the Gel
lar and stopped The engine which FUR
nished power for the laundry and re-
leased the unfortunate man. Nearly
every stitch of clothing had been torn
from his body and the arm wound
about the shafting in such a manner
that the bones are badly splintered. He
was taken to Keith's hospital where
the doctor in charge has hJres of saw
ing the arm. The pulley was at the
end of the shafting and this account )
for the fact that the unfortunate man
was not whipped to death against the
ceiling of the cellar before help could
arrive Grainson was a member OF
the police force for short time about
a year ago and since that time has
worked at the City Hand laundry.

MARTIN IS HIT HARD,
Court Reporter Can Not Draw Pay i'm
Two Districts

B. F. Martin, who has been draw
ing from the state 5000 per month for
his services as official court steno-
grapher in two judicial districts In
northwestern Kansas, has run up
against the same snag which was en-
countered by Charles Kellogg, of the
governors office He has found that
State Treasurer Mark .Tulley balks at
paying two salaries to one man, even
though that man does two mems
work.
"This ruling of mine will apply to
Mr.. Martini said Treasurer Tulley to-
day. HE has acted as court reporter
in two judicial districts, and has APP
parently done the work satisfactory in
both districts. He has been drawing
500 salary per month from each dis
trict. The statutes forbid this, and l
have no alternative but to refuse fur
Their payment of two salaries to one
man.
''At the present time do not know
of any other cases where one man is
getting two salaries"

BRYAN WILL SEE TO IT.
Question of Publicity of Campaign
Contributions to Be Aired.

Washington. Nov. ga meeting
of the association for the publicity of
campaign contributions, called by
Perry Belmont, was held here today,
the chief feature of which was a short
address by w. J. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan
asserted that if the movement for
publicity of campaign funds did not
take form through the Democratic
members of congress during the next
session it would take form in the next
national convention, provided he had
anything to do with it.
"As the Democratic party is not i'll
a position to draw it's share OF cam
paign funds at present" he said. 1T
has been in the position to do so be-
fore and will undoubtedly be in that
position again when it makes the
necessary promises. I hope that no
party will yield to the temptation to
sell legislation or mimmunity for con-
tributions. There is no doubt that
such has been done in the past
Mr.. Bryan contended that the pub
licity sh ouId be made before a cam
paign instead of after.
IF a man is willing to have it be-
come known that he has made a con-
tribution for a public benefit he said,
why should he object to having it
known that he has subscribed to
political reform
Mr. Bryan ventured that not one
public man could be found who would
dare denounce in speech delivered
before election the publicity move
ment.
A resolution was adopted declaring
that senators and representatives
shall be urged to aid in the enactment
of the proposed publicity law.

NEW CARPENTERS UNION HERE
Second One Is Organized With One
Hundred Members.

T. P. Mention, general organizer of
the American Federation of Labor in
Kansas, completed an organization of
a local union of carpenters in Topeka
last week. This is the second car
penter's union to be organized here.
There are about 100 names on the
charter list. and 60 were present at
the meeting for organization. The
organization will meet again Friday
night, at which time a place will be
chosen cor regular meetings. The new
lodge voted to affiliate with the To-
peka Industrial council. The officers
elected are as follows: President, Geo.
S. Williams; vice president. James
Brown; recording secretary. B. L.
Fry; financial secretary, c. E. Wilson;
treasurer, Frank Dove.
The union men claim that the car
penters have been very much dis
organized in Topeka, and that carpen-
ter's wages have been only IS cents an
hour, while bricklayers nave received
70 cents. 1t is expected that one OF
the first things the carpenters in To-
peka will do when they get thoroughly
organized is to put UP their schedule
to 40 cents an hour

SUBJECT TO Q. S. CONTROL.
State Roads Are so Held When They
Accept Interstate Freight.

St Paul, Nov. 26.-The action of the
government in the Colorado case in
which a new trial has been ordered was
brought to recover penalties from the
railroad in two cases of alleged viola
ton of the interstate commerce safety
appliance law, in that the Colorado &
Northwestern accepted two distinct
shipments of freight which the COM
pany accepted from other lines in cars
which were not equipped with auto
matte couplers. The district court in
structed the jury for the defendant and
the government appealed.
Judge Vandeventer concurred with
Judge Sanborne, who held in effect that
the Colorado road, although not an in
terstate line, became subject to federal
control, when it accepted freight from
lines coming from without the state
Judge Phillips dissented from this
view, holding that the road was bound
to accept the freight and passengers
under it's state charter by whomsoever
rendered and from whence it comes,
whether within or without the state
and that it's responsibilities are limited

HAD REACHED THE END.
Circumstances Leading to Attempted
Suicide of Banker Maxwell.

New York, Nov. 26.-The recent in
vestigatfon of the affairs of the Borough
bank of Brooklyn, accompanied by
number of indictments against officers
of the bank. resulted in the attempt to
commit suicide by Howard Maxwell
who was president of the bank at the
time it closed it's doors. Maxwell had
been very much depressed ever since
his indictment and suffered keenly
though his Imprisonment in Raymond
street Jail Bail was furnished last
night and he went to his home In a
serious mental condition.
Today it was reported in Brooklyn
that Cashier Campbell, OF the BANK
who is also under indictment, had de-
cided to give evidence for the prosecu-
ton. This report which. however, was
not confirmed, caused sensation ana
was followed within a few hours with
the news that Maxwell had cut his
thr~yat in his Brooklyn home. 1t is De-
neved that Maxwell's wounds are ia
tai.
Maxwell four years ago, was cashier
of the Kings county bank at the time
that institution was merged with the
Union bank, another Brooklyn inst1tu-
ton. At that time he had no property
so far as known, but he enlisted the
assistance of William Cow of the ad-
vertising firm of Ward & Cow, and
these two with others, organized the
Borough bank of Brooklyn. The
Borough bank, operating on what has
heen described as liberal lines"
achieved a remarkable success for it's
officers and directors and before the
crash came a few weeks ago Maxwell
was reported to be worth 100000. All
this, however, was stripped from MN
in the effort to recoup the bank Tor
questionable loans for the making of
which he, as president, had been held
responsible.
Shortly after he became a bank pres
ident. Maxwell married and in the pro-
cess of Settlement of the Borough bank
affairs Mrs. Maxwell signed with him
all the release deeds to realty that
stood in his name, so that she Is today
