the purpose. Then spread it evenly down

nary hairbrush.
This should not be applied more than
once a week. as its frequent use at too
brief an interval would, sooner or later,
have a pernicious effect upon the scalp.

IN THIS wide world there are very
many women who use perfumes and
sachets, but very few know the true
art. Il is not question OF pervad-
ing the surrounding atmoswhere with
waves Of cloying sweetness, nor lining
personal belongings with layers Of sachet
powder Sachet perfume-the words indi-
cate a hardly perceptible fragrance Of
sweet, fresh flowers. but above all IL must
be fresh and clean. And that is where
lesson or so on the art Of making and ar
ranging sachets will not come amiss.
The women Of France. who have in
herited the knowledge Of coquetry, know
moro about the arrangement Of sachets
than women Of any other nationality and
they never place the little understanding
dainties near the skin. The bow in the
hat. the hem of the dress the girdle, the
gathers of the sleeve, or the pompadour-
yes. but never where the sachet may come
in direct contact with the body In this
way the fragrance is kept cool and fresh
and in this way only.
Concerning the sachets themselves. most
women prefer violet. but that perfume is,
above all others. the hardest 20 keep in
its original state II is so delicate thing
that a few hours exposure viii wither
the flowers, as # were. and the fragrance
viii become stale and unattractive.
Heliotrope. however. is a different mat
ter. and few know that mixed with pow
dered orris root. the result Is almost the
fragrance Of the violet. and it is far more
lasting In fact, orris has preserving
effect on most sachets. and should always
be mixed with them
The sachet should be in little. white
cotton bags which will not hold too much
powder. In fact. these are called thumb
bags" for they are about the size and
shape Of a thumb. This does not waste
the powder, and when the fragrance has
gone, bag and all may be thrown away.
The hat is a good medium for perfume
as II Is worn In the open air. and is away
from the natural warmth Of the body
Sometimes the hat is scented by putting
some orris and heiotrope in the bottom
of the hat box and covering It with tissue
paper. Sometimes a little thumb bag
may be tucked between the folds Of the
ribbon; sometimes stIIl smaller one may
be hidden in the heart Of a flower. All
Of these ways are good. but the hat
sachet may be stronger than the sachet
to be worn indoors. as the air will soon
dissipate the sweetness.
A good way TO wear sachet too. is IN
the pompadour. The bag should be very
small and OF silk of same color as the

ASK FOR SPECIAL MASTER.
Leavenwortil. Kansas & western Asks
for One.

An application has been filed in the
United States circuit court by the at
torneys for the Leavenworth, Kansas
& Western railroad for the appoint
ment of a special master to take testi-
mony in the maximum freight rate
cases. The cases have been pending
for two months and it is expected that
the special master will be appointed
soon and then the taking of evidence
will begin.
This and twelve other suits were
brought by the railroads to prevent
the board of railroad commissioners
putting into effect a maximum freight
rate schedule reducing freight rates In
Kansas 20 per cent. The board. has
announced the appointment of A E.
Helm of Wichita as a special attorney
to assist the attorney for the board
q. F. Grattan, and the attorney gen.
eral in fighting the case. The board
has issued the following statement re-
garding the appointment of Mr.. Helm
1.-THE board has every confidence in
the world in Mr.. Grattan's ability as a
lawyer. While he is a tireless worker
and good lawyer, it should be re-
membered that there is limit to the
amount of work any man can properly
attend to. Besides the 10 rate cases
Mr.. Grattan has under his direct
charge appeals pending in the Shaw
nee county court and the supreme
court as well as the two-cent fare case
in the circuit court. This in addition
to his regular duties of assisting in the
prosecution of cases pending before
the board. The board feels that it Is
simple justice to Mr.. Grattan to en-
ploy this assistance"

TENNESSEE PRIMARY.
Question OF tSate Wide Prohibition Is
the Issue.

Nashville. Tenn, June 27.-The cam
paign for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination between ex-senator Edward
Carmack and Governor Malcolm r.
Patterson closed last night in a whirl-
wind finish and today the primary is
being held throughout the state. The
campaign has been one of the most
partisan in the history Of the common
wealth and has attracted wide attention
because of the prominence Of the con-
testants and also from the fact that
state wide prohibition has been the
leading issue in the fight. Mr.. Carmack,
who stands for statewide prohibition
has the support of the Women's Chris
tan Temperance union, while the lib
eral element in the state are most SOL
idly behind Mr.. Patterson.
Governor Patterson and ex-senator
Carmack stumped the state from the
mountains to the river, and it is esti-
mated that they had spoken to more
than 100000 people in their debates. To-
day thousands of the most prominent
ladies of the city accompanied by chill
dren paraded the streets of Nashville
singing temperance songs and hundreds
of them are at work at the polls.
Prayer meetings are being held at vari-
Gus points in the city at which prayers
are being offered for a prohibition VIC
tory.
Mr.. Patterson claims that he will
carry the state by 10000 majority, while
Mr.. Carmack is equally as confident.

JACKSON IS BACK.
! Trying to Help Fix Up Uniform
Freight Rate Legislation.

Fred S. Jackson, attorney general
has returned from his conference with
H S. Hadley, attorney general of Mis-
souri,, and Attorney General West of
Oklahoma. The three attorneys gen.
eral are now at work on uniform
freight rate legislation to be enacted
in the three states and they expect to
work out a plan for uniform legisla-
ton in all the middle states.
This plan will be presented at the
annual meeting of the National As
ISOLATION of Attorneys General which
meets in Denver in August. The chief
trouble which the states have in pro-
curing equitable freight rates is the
pleas of interstate commerce presented
by the railroads. If each state, or
most of them, had about the same
freight rates then this plea would not
hold and in addition much testimony
of conditions in one state would be
useful in court cases in the other
states.

THE MOTOR BOAT
Raw at Just the Right Stage
for This Craft.
Excursion Five Miles Up the
River Last Night.
OUT OF GASOLINE.
Kind Farmer Comes to Rescue
of Motorists.
Taps His Automobile to Furn-
ish Them Power.

If you are motor boating along the
Kaw and run out of gasoline, just stop
at any farmers house along the river
and replenish your supply from his
automobile tanks. The farmers along
the Kaw are as prosperous and ac-
commodating as any that ever lived
on the Hudson river since the days of
Peter Stuyvesant.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alonzo Thomas in
vited Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Koepke and
two newspaper friends to join them in
a motor boat ride up the Kaw last
night in the Topeka. The evening was
ideal for such an excursion on the riv-
err, the boat breasted the current like
the Harvard shell in the regatta at
New London this week and the party
had a grand time on the trip up the
river for a distance of about five miles.
The Kaw Is at just the right stage for
motor boating.
Mr.. Thomas sat at the helm and
piloted the boat with the skill of Hor-
ace Bixby in Mark Twain's life on the
Mississippi. Mr.. Koepke acted as en-
gineer and nursed the engines as well
as though he had license from the
government to run a torpedo boat.
Just at the time when the boat, the
river and the weather were all doing
their best and some one was about to
start song, the engine began to pant
a warning that the gasoline was near
" all in, that is to say out. The song
died away into a sigh and it looked
as thought the party would have to
drift the five miles back to the city.
when one of the members of the party
remembered that he had a farmer
friend living close to the river at this
point He is a kind hearted gentle
man." said the man in the boat, has
an auto and I know he will let us
have all the gasoline we need. 1t is
only one-eighth of mile to his
place."
The boat was quickly run in to the
bank and Mr.. Thomas and the two
newspaper men went ashore as a
foraging party, leaving the engineer in
charge of the boat and as body
guard for the ladies.
The man who knew the farmer took
the lead. He advanced with conf
dence to the railroad tracks, led the
way over a tie across a deep ditch and
then plunged into an impenetrable
jungle. The ground began to get soft
but the man in front called out: III
is better over here; the ground is like
a macadamized road" When the
y trusting Mr.. Thomas and his compan-

NO MONEY TO PAY.
State Faces a Peculiar Situation With
Its Bills

The state Of Kansas has a law pro-
viding a heavy penalty for officials
who contract debts when no money
was appropriated for the work. But
there are cases when the law must be
violated. No one supposed that the
roof of the state heating plant was go
ing to leak this summer. No one sup
posed that there were going to be such
heavy rains that the water would seep
down under the foundations OF the
boilers and cause them to settle to the
great danger to the employees and dam
age to the plant. But this is what
happened and there was no money to
pay for the repairs that were abso-
lutely necessary. The executive coun-
ell ordered the repairs made and the
work has been completed at cost of
about five hundred dollars.
The council spent all of Friday af-
ternoon fussing over how to pay the
bill. Finally the council decided that
the money left in the contingent fund
of the governor should be used. But
there is only $3.50 in the fund and the
bill is five hundred dollars. All of the
other contingent funds are depleted
but the fiscal year begins wednesday
and then everybody will have money
and the rest of the bill will be paid
