BACK To The FARM
"Sec." Barnes Would Depose
Sec" WellhOuse.
Former Horticultural Society
Official Issues Ukase.
WANTS HIS OLD JOB.
Says He Has Regained His
Health and VigOr.
Can Do the Society Good If 1t
Will Permit.

william H Barnes, former secretary
of the state horticultural society, now
in retirement on a farm in Shawnee
county, has announced himself as a
candidate for another term in this Of
flee now held by Secretary Wellhouse,
which will be filed at the meeting of
the society next winter. Mr.. Barnes,
in card to the voters of the society,
is not at all modest in his claims. as
he says:
Having regained health and energy
I have decided to apply for my former
position of secretary. With pleasure
confidence and satisfaction I point to
my twelve years of honest, energetic
and successful service which brought
to the previously weak society,
strength, numbers, fame, honor. dig
nifty, and attractive home, increased
appropriations, legislative favors and
national standing second to no state
society" Mr.. Barnes tells of five mil
lion fruit trees and vines planted dur
ing his reign and gold medals won in
Paris and silver medals won in Buffalo
He asks for no pledges, but merely re-
quests the members ''to consider solely
the best interests for the future sue
cess Of the society and horticulture in
our beloved state" which it would be
inferred hang upon the success of his
candidacy.
Secretary Walter Wellhouse, who
succeeded Mr.. Barnes. is one of the
leading apple men of the state. and
there has been no objection made to
his continuance in office, so far as
learned, except that offered by Mr.
Barnes. Mr.. Wellhouse is a man we'll
fitted for his present position, and has
been doing good work. His reports on
the conditions of the fruit crop have
been received with great interest by
the people of the state, and he has ar
ranged the horticultural displays of the
society in an especially attractive and
satisfactory manner on the top floor
of the state house.

properly or improperly, depending en-
the depth of the cut and the articles to
be let alone
Mr.. Bryan would remove the duty
entirely from all competitive articles
and this will mean increased imports
from countries manufacturing these
competitive goods, indeed, it will
mean, so great is the American mark
ct, an increased facility in these coun-
tries for making these goods, and as
they pay lower wages for their labor
than we do it will result in a COM
mensurate reduction in wages in this
country if our industries are to con-
tinue to thrive. If the duty is remov-
ed from all competitive articles then
by this policy it is left on all nom
competitive articles and here a new
condition may arise the result of
which can only be guessed at.

HELP KANSAS CASES.
Government Getting Valuable Evi-
dence Against Standard Oil

John S. Dawson. assistant attorney
general, who returned last night from
a trip to his old home in Scotland,
stopped over in New York city a day
to attend the hearing before the
United States court in the great case
of the government aaginst the Stand
ard Oil Co., and also to consult with
Assistant Attorney General Kellogg,
who is in direct charge of that case.
Concerning its relation to the custer
suits now pending against the Stand
ard Oil Co., and subsidiary companies
now pending in Kansas. General Kel-
logg informed Mr.. Dawson that all
the material facts which Kansas
must prove to establish the existence
of an unlawful trust are fully de-
veloped in the governments case and
will soon be accessible for us in the
Kansas cases.
General Kellogg thought that the
determination of the governments
case would greatly affect the Kan
sas cases and that it would be wise to
hold the Kansas cases back until the
governments case is completed. AS
to the local phases of the Standards
operations in Kansas the national
case touches them only incidentally,
and at an early date Attorney GEN
era1 Jackson will commence taking
testimony.

ering Chicago and its environS handi-
capped transportation companies to-
day and was responsible for a number
of minor accidents. Through passen-

She Can Now Marry Man With Whom
She Eloped.

New York. Sept. 17.-Miss Helen
Maloney, daughter of Martin Ma1oney
of Philadelphia, was today granted a
final decree annulling her marriage to
Arthur Herbert Osborne of this city.
Miss Maloney was married to Os-
borne by justice of the peace in Ma
moraneck about two years ago, but
subsequently remained at home with
her parents in Philadelphia, until she
.eloped with Samuel r. Clarkson to
Canada, from where the couple went
to England. Her father followed and
brought mis- daughter back with him,
and soon after a suit was brought by
Miss Maloney for annulment of her
marriage to Osborne on the ground
that it was invalid. The motion to
make final and interlocutory decree
granted in this suit four months ago
was granted today on default. It
leaves Miss Maloney free to wed
Clarkson should she choose to do so.

IN A MAN HUNT.
Armed Farmers Are Looking for
Mrs. Fred Johnson's Attackers.

Kansas City, Sept. 17.-Mrs. Christine
Johnson, 32 years old, the wife or
Fred Johnson, a farmer living two
miles southwest of Prairie Center,
small town in Johnson county, Kansas,
was beaten into insensibility, GRIMM
ally assaulted and left with gunny
sack tied over her head in a barn on
the johnson farm Tuesday night. Mrs.
Johnson's condition last night was
dangerous. Prairie Center is twenty
eight miles from Kansas City and nina
miles from Olathe. 1t is not on any
line of railroad.
All the farmers In the northwestern
part of johnson county were under
arms last night searching for two
tramps who are believed to have COM
rnitted the crime. They are divided
into small posses and are working un-
der direction of John Steed, sheriff of
Johnson county. They are searching
the fields, underbrush, haystacks, along
the country roads and the rail-
roads Several men were arrested at
Holiday yesterday afternoon and
taken across the river to Bonner
Springs for safe keeping. Three of
them proved last night they were not

tional hotel. He was taken from the
train to the hotel in a carriage by
Topeka friends.
The train from Independence where
he spoke last night to a crowd estima-
ted at 5.0OO was late and the trip up
here from southern Kansas was a try
ing one in the heat and dust. The
speaker looked fresh and jaunty as he
stepped from his train, but neverthe-
less he retired to his room for an
hours sleep as soon as he arrived at
the hotel
Just before the noon hour Mr.. Can
non granted an interview to the State
him Uncle joe" He looks and acts
the part. He looks like the pen pic
ture Irving Bacheller drew of his Gel
ebrated Uncle Eben Holden, with his
fringe of chin whiskers. bare upper lip
and rosy complexion. only Mr.. Can
mons thin, high nose and broad fore
head give his face a more intellectual
cast than that of the Vermont farmer
in the famous Bachelor novel
Mr.. Cannon sat in his darkened room
at the hotel with his feet resting on
the center table and his head cooked
the least bit to one side, bearing out
TO the line and letter every story and
picture of him written and drawn so
often by the newspaper men in the
last quarter of a century. Only the
stogie cigar was lacking.
There are few people who can come
in personal contact with Uncle joe
and not be won by his unique person
ality. He speaks slowly and his voice
is very soft and gentle, but he goes
straight at his subject and expresses
himself frankly and fearlessly, yet with
all his bluntness and apparent sim
plicity there is a subtle logic in his ar
gument and a thorough understanding
of the subject rarely found in even the
greatest of the country's orators of
the past so years.
The opening of the interview was
characteristic. Now don't ring any
chestnut bell on nae if you can help it -
said Mr.. Cannon. and he spoke the
words with the air and accent of long
patience and hope unrewarded 1.-The
newspaper boys win spring a chestnut
on me and then they ring the bell for
good measure. They don't mean to,
and they say every time that they
Three Vital Campaign Issues.
THE revision of the tariff, the rela-
tions and powers of the executive the
legislative and the judiciary depart
ments of the government, and class leg
islation, are to my mind the three vital
issues of this campaign, and If I had
my way l would make them paramount
to the elimination of all other things
which may come between the people
and these three questions which close
ly affect the prosperity of the nation"
To my mind there are only three
vital issues at hand in this campaign
and the revision of the tariff comes
first on the list. The tariff will be re-
vised next winter no matter who wins
the coming election 1t can be done
