TAFT" DAY IN KANSAS.

Topeka, Kan. October 2.-Tomorrow
republican leaders are making every
effort to convert the progress of the
presidential candidate across the state
into a triumphal tour. State Chairman
Dolley believes that the reception with
which Mr.. Taft will meet in Kansas
will eclipse anything of the kind with
which he has met in his present tour
of the West.
Mr.. Taft will enter Kansas from Col
orado over the Santa Fe. and will make
short speeches at Dodge City. Larned.
Great Bend. Hutchinson. Newton, EN-
poria. Usage and several other import
ant points. 1t will be an all days trip
but the itinerary has been arranged
so as to bring the candidate into this
city in time for the big rally tomor-
row night.
The local reception committee has
received word from republican clubs
in many parts of the state announcing
their intention to be represented at
the monster rally here tomorrow night
From Wyandotte county will come 200
stalwart republicans costumed as In
dams, with war paint. feathers and all
the paraphernalia of the redmen, to
act as guardsmen TO Mr.. Taft during
his visit in this city According to
the plans announced today Mr. Taft
will remain in Topeka Saturday night
and will go to Kansas City Sunday

TO NOMINATE DRAPER.

Boston, Mass, Oct. 2.-Eben S. Drap-
er. lieutenant governor of Massachu-
sets, will receive the nomination for
governor without opposition at the re-
publican state convention which meets
here tomorrow. The only contest of the
convention will be for the nomination
for lieutenant governor. Three aspir-
ants originally were in the field for the
second place on the ticket, but as a re-
suit of the caucuses the contest has
been narrowed down to two. Louis A.
rockingham of Boston, former speaker
of the Massachusetts house of repre-
sentatives, is the leading candidate for
the nomination, with John N. Cole of
Andover, the present speaker of the
house, running second. The managers
of the rockingham campaign today
claim nearly 700 delegates to the con-
vention against less than 500 con-
coded to Cole. The convention, which
will be composed of 1850 delegates, will
meet in Symphony hall tomorrow morn
ing and will be presided over by Con-
gresham Augustus p. Gardner.

adopted. Mattingly. by the way, acted
as attorney for Wickwire in the in
vestigation. Mattingly made a strong
speech for his resolution and then
Wickwire himself took the floor and
made an impassioned appeal for JUS
tice and fair play. He said that his
integrity had been assailed for the first
time in his life, that his reputation was
at stake and that his character by the
report was ruined. He insisted that

Indianapolis, Oct. 2.-The special ses-
sion, which opened with discord two
weeks ago today, closed Wednesday
night with discord after a day of SEN
sations. The discord of the closing
hours. however, was different from that
which marked the opening. Republic

ans were. In the main republicanism
was in much better shape at the close
than at the beginning. The opening
days found the party badly split; the
closing night found it practically a
unit.
Hanly-Wickwire Mess.
The discord of the last day arose
from the STIR over the Knisely charges
against Governor Hanly and Senator
Wickwire. The house investigating
committee completely expnerated the
governor, partly exonerated Knisely and
failed to exonerate Wickwire This
aroused the senate to such an extent
that it appointed a committee of it's

REUNION OF PIONEERS.

Decatur, Tex, Oct. "A unique re-
union began today at the home of Col
John w. Hogg, brother of Ex-Governor
Hogg, in this place. During the re-
mainder of this week Col. Hogg will
have as his invited guests the pioneers
of Wise county, the men and women
who are responsible for Wise county
being on the map and who shared in it's
early vicissitudes and struggles. The
host has provided an elaborate pro-
gram of entertainment for his guests.
There will be feasting, singing and
music of the old-fashioned sort and an
abundance of reminiscent talks of the
pioneer days before the railroads
gridironed Texas and when the Indian
roamed the land.

majority of saloon-keepers want to
obey the laws; want to see their bust
ness elevated: want to bid the drunk
ard an eternal farewell. and 1t is my
hope that in the not distant future
every saloon keeper who favors law,
order, decency and temperance will join
the National Model License league and
will stand as we stand with the real
forces of reform and fully abreast of
the most advanced public sentiment

resort is not subsiding but is exhibit
ing it's force in local option conflicts.
The people are demanding and prop
erly that their laws shall be obeyed.
Society is moving forward and the
saloon must move forward or be out
lawed. The edict has gone forth that
men must be sober If they would be
free and few men will now contend
that a man now possesses an inherent
right to overthrow his reason
The edict has gone forth that sal
cons must obey the laws-that they
must not sell to intoxicated men. nor
to habituaI drunkards, nor to minors
that they must not exhibit improper
pictures, nor connect themselves with
gambling resorts-in a word that the
saloon must not be a nuisance.
Press Has So Declared.
The press of the country has so de-
clared; the ministers have so declared;
the Law and Order Leagues have so
declaredi the great conservative ele-
ment in society has SO declared.
These forces for good are all power
full in society and our trade cannot
afford to oppose them.
It would be foolish for us to oppose
them even if we could do so success
fully. because the demands they are
making are our demands.
:. House Cleaning Needed.
Our trade needs house cleaning and
we should aid the good work along
The saloon that is run in violation of
the law or of decency should be put
out Of business and the better element
in the trade should continue to lead in
the reform.
A saloon should be decent resort;
it should be the working mans club !;
It should inculcate real temperance;
1t should give thought. first of all, to
the welfare of its patrons; it should
consider the home, the wife and the
children; it should seek to elevate not
to degrade those who visit it; and if
it is run in violation of the law its
license should be revoked.
Could such conditions do harm to
the business? Is it improbable to be
decent; to be law abiding; to be
kind; to do unto others as you would
have them do unto you? We think
that all of this would pay and it would
relieve the business of odium and 1t
would permit prohibition to die a hap
Ply and peaceful death.
I do not write this letter through
any fear of prohibition, because an ex-
perience of more than half century
tells us that prohibition will not pro-
hibit and common sense tells US that
prohibition win not prohibit and the
statistics of the Internal Revenue De-
partment show conclusively that pro-
hibition does not prohibit, but I write
because I think the saloon is liable to
be superseded by unlawful sellers of
alcoholic beverages, as is the case now
in all prohibition territory, and because
think the saloon can be and should
be desirable and not an undesirable
factor in society.

Washburn, Wis, Feb. l.-After a

was started in the municipal court,

The case is that of A. r. Mead

an amount not to exceed SD which was
payment for six bushels of potatoes.
The potatoes have long ago been con-
stunned. Mead sold Simpson six bushels
of potatoes, and Simpson, who was
working for the Iron River Hardware
company, sent Mead to the company
for the payment.
Mead was informed by the presi-

WILL OF FRED BUSCH
REDWlNG MAN LEFT BEHIND A
LARGE ESTATE.
Wife VIII Receive Homestead and
500 900, Leaves Nice Sum to
His Children Also.

From Saturdays Daily.
The will of the late Frederic Busch
was filed for probate in Redwing yes
|terday. The estate consists of per-
sonel property valued at $324,3O0 and
real estate valued at $29,l5O. To
his wife ne leaves the homestead,
horses, carriages, household goods, etc.,
and 100000 in cash or securities as
she may select.
The second provision of the will
reads as follows:
The balance of my estate and prop
erty of every nature, | give and be-
queath in equal shares, share and share
alike, to my children: Joseph f. Busch,
Frederick A. Busch, Clement j. Busch,
Mary Busch, Tin religion, Sister Hide
garde), Lucy Busch, now Mrs. p. w.
McKasy, Francis Y. Busch, William
Busch, Margaret NJ. Busch, and Bern
ard L. Busch, except that my said
daughter Margaret NJ. Busch and my
said sons Bernard l.. Busch and Will
liam Busch shall each receive in addi-
ton to their said share with their
brothers and sisters, the sum of five
thousand !$5,O0O.OO) dollars. l give
this additional sum of five thousand
($5.OOO.OO) dollars each to William
Busch, Margaret NJ. Busch and Bernard
L. Busch because they are the young
est of my children and said Margaret
Nj. Busch and Bernard l.. Busch have
not yet been educated, and because
said three children have received no
advances from me, while my other chill
dren have been educated at my expense
and received more or less advances.
But l have thought best after con-
sultation and consideration, not to
charge any of my said children with
any of the advances | have made to
them, believing that the circumstances
of each case, as well as justice to all
of my said children warrants this
course. Therefore l direct that If, after
my death, any charge may be found
upon my books against any of my
children, said child be forgiven the
payment of said debt, and [ hereby
release them therefrom, but this is not
to apply to advances made after the
date of this will.
The testator appointed his sons
Joseph F. Busch and William Busch
and his son-in-law, P. w. Mckasy, the
executors without bond. In a codicil,
Anna NJ. Busch is also named as
executor.
