HAVE CASH LEFT.
Balance of 81 ,415 in State Fair
Treasury.
Aside From Donations Show
About Paid Expenses.

The state fair officials met with the
directors of the Commercial club last
evening and the former made report of
receipts and expenses of the fair held
here last September. There is, accord
ing to this report, 81, Ais left in the state
fair treasury after all bills have been
paid. On motion of E. H. Crosby this
money was ordered turned over to the
Commercial club to be used in getting
an appropriation from the state legisla-
ture for Topeka for the state fair in
1909
The total receipts for. the fair was
$50, 45T, according to the secretary's re-
port and S29O42 was spent on the fair.
from expenses for this year as this
amount went to pay the old debts of
the State Fair association.
AS the Commercial club turned over
s4,912 in subscriptions raised for the
state fair, it will be seen that the fair
just about broke even this year, or in
other words was self-sustaining. How
ever, the sum of 81, 1898 spent for per-
manent improvements at the fair
grounds must be credited to the gain
of the fair this year.
1t will be remembered that the Com
mercial club last summer started out
to raise $4,000 for the state fair and
the club. OF this amount, $11,686 was
subscribed and $9,8 collected. As only
81, 912 was turned over to the state fair
directors, $4,974 remains yet to be ac-
counted for in the state fair report.
Messrs. E. H. Crosby and J. w. Rob
inson will audit the Commercial club
books for a balance on this sum of
money. The Commercial club spent of
this subscription several hundred dol
lars for Taft and Bryan days in To-
peka. Funston day at the fair was
also handled by the club and the ex-
penses borne The revival of the South
western project and the visit of Messrs.
Herbert and Curnick to the city last
summer cost the club $500. Then there
was advertising, entertainment and sal
airy expenses of the club to be met out
of this fund. The club had some So, 500
in the treasury last month report
of the receipts and expenditures of the
club will be made in the next few days.
The following is the report of Secre-
tary Kreipe of the state fair as made
to and accepted by the Commercial club
directors at yesterdays meeting:

Football at the Swedish school was
abolished the next season, and Owen
went to Oklahoma. Here he has
made a good record. In 1905 Wash
burn won a close game here by a
field at Oklahoma City, neither side
scored. Last season Washburn won
by a score of H. to 0, winning in a
hard game solely through the great
defensive work and Millice's left toe.
The game has changed greatly
since Bonnie learned it. He was one
of the old school, where mass play
and beef figured in the winning of
games, and where ringers of ability
could play. Now with the open play
and strict rules of eligibility, Owen
has kept abreast of the times and still
ranks with the best. In fact he has
adapted himself more to the new style
of play than has his old tutor, Coach
Yost.
Both teams will be in good shape.
the Sooners especially. Washburn
will have a few bruised warriors, as
Brethour and McVey are not in the
pink of condition. Captain Robb will
not be at his best. But this trio has
played most of the season with bat
tered physiques and will no doubt
play fully up to her standard. The
lineup of the blue will be the same
as last Saturday. And whatever else
may be said, the Washburn team is
going into the game tomorrow with
greater vim and fervor than has been
previously exhibited this season.
Whichever side wins, it will be a great
game.

tached to the game through the con-
nection of Bonnie Owen with the
team. Owen was at one time the most
conspicuous figure in Kansas football.
He played quarterback on the Kansas
team in 1899. He made a great rec
ord on that team, which was coached
by Fielding H. Yost, the present coach
of Michigan The next year he
coached the Washburn team. He was
responsible for the famous 1900 team
that is still talked about. That was
during the good old football days,
when the coaches were allowed an I'M
limited salary list. So great was his
record with the 1900 team that he
went to Michigan the next season
where he assisted his old coach, Yost,
in running the wolverines.
Owen returned to Kansas in 1902
and took charge of the football team
Of Bethany college at Lindsborg.
Owen made good at that school and it
didn't take long for his Terrible
Swedes to become known all over the
west. During this season he twice
pitted his team against the Washburn
bunch. The first game in Topeka was
won by Washburn 1911, but on the
return game at Lindsborg, Owens
team gave Washburn the worst drub-
bling in her history, 72 to o. The next
season when Bert Kennedy had
charge of the local team Washburn
won II to s, but it was the hardest
game that Washburn played that sea-

GROWS HAIR
ON BALD HEADS
Bald Headed People May Get a New
Chance in Life.

In these days when youth is the
moving factor in business; when a man
makes his mark at thirty-five and is
ready to retire at forty-five; when
business houses pension the man we
call middle aged" rather than allow
mis- tagging influence to intrude upon
the commercial rush, a bald mead is
almost fatal to any mans hopes. The
following must therefore prove inter-
esting to people who are losing their
hair or who are bald.
Resorcin is one of the latest and
most effective germ killers discovered
by science, and in connection with
Beta Napthol, which is both germi-
cidal and antiseDtic, combination is
formed which destroys the germs
which rob the hair of its nutriment,
and also creates clean and healthy
condition of the scalp, which prevents
the development of new germs.
PiIocarpin is a we'll known agent for
restoring the hair to its natural color,
where the loss of color has been due
to a disease of the scalp. Yet, it is
not a coloring matter or dye.
This com bination of curatives mixed
with alcohol as stimulant perfects
the most effective remedy for hair and
The famous Rexan "93" Hair Tonic

stimulates the folIicles- Where the
head is already bare, it enters the
fOlliCI6S, T6N1CallZeS the roofs, supplies
nourishment and stimulates a new
growth.
we want you to try a few bottles Of
Rexali "93" Hair Tonic, on our per-
sonaI guarantee that the trial will not
cost you a penny if it does not give
YOU absolute satisfaction. That's
proof of our faith in this remedy and
it should indisputably demonstrate
that we know what We are talking
about when we say that Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic will grow hair on bald
heads, except of course, where bald
ness has been of such long duration
that the roots of the hair are entirely
dead, the follicles closed and grown
over, and the scalp is glazed.
Remember, We are basing our state
ments upon what has already been ac-
complished by the use of Rexall ''93"
Hair Tonic, and we have the right to
assume that what it has done to hun
dreds of others it will do for you. In
any event you can not lose anything

flying chase of Anne Ellis last evening
just before dark.
Anne had been making an empty
brick house at the foot of Jefferson
street near the river, her "hangout."
She had been watched for number
of days by the residents who COM
planned to the police about her list
of victims which filed daily down to
the river with her. Detective Hut

evening and when he arrived and had
placed the man in the case Ca farmer

Anne Ellis emerging from the back
window of the house and striking off
down the river. He started after her
at once and after a chase of two
blocks through the mud he caught
her and made the arrest 1t was the
most exciting chase since the time
that oficer Mead had trouble with
the Davis girl.
Hanley was fined ten dollars in
court this morning and was glad to
pay it. He is a stock dealer in Hin

But the Washburn team despite the
five consecutive defeats at the hands
of Iowa and Kansas teams, is going to
fight for the game. The old Wash
burn spirit which has won more than
one game for the Blue in past seasons
will be in evidence. 1t has been
dormant most of the season, but it
will be in force tomorrow.
There will be a big crowd at the
game tomorrow. Everything points
to that end. The weather couldn't be
better. The rain is all over accord
ing to the weather bureau and the day
will be clear and with high sky.
The recent showers have softened the
field and the sun today will dry it up
to leave it dry and soft.

waited until the wound had been
dressed. Then he paid the doctor and
quietly sauntered down the street for
the Hoffman general store. 1t was
here that the officers caught him and
took him to the police station.
1t is probable that '"Tobe" will be
sent to the penitentiary for assault
with intent to kill. He has been a
rather reckless character for a number
of years and although a nice appear

other on their gun-just because the

Count Carl Won Moltke, successor to
Constantine Brun as Danish minister in
Washington, is registered at the VIII
lard.
Mr. Brun has been transferred by Den
mark to the embassy in London. Count
Won Moltke comes from Rome, where he
has been the Danish representative for
some years.
Count Won Moltke will be joined in
December by Countess Won Moltke, who
was Miss Cornelia Thayer of Boston.
Thus the Danish legation will have a
hostess and an American woman for
the first time in some wears. Mr.. Brun
was a bachelor. one of the few in the
diplomatic corps.
The new minister is comparatively
young man and was till 1898 an officer
in the Danish navy. He was born in
1869 and since his resignation in the
