DANGER IN BIG CROWDS.
Secretary Crumbine Enforcing SAM
- 81. tary Regulations, at Fairs.

Secretary Crumbine who has in
spectors in attendance at the Leaven-
worth and Hutchinson fairs this week
to enforce the pure food and sanitary
laws of the state, today received let
ter from Inspector John Kleinhans,
in which the latter states that he has
had no trouble at all in enforcing the
mandates of the board of health re-
garding the character of the goods dis
pensed by the lunch and soft drink
stands and the sanitary arrangements
of the fair grounds. The fair Off
Gals show a disposition to promptly
do the right thing on advice of the
inspector. Four of the largest stands
on the grounds are conducted by
churches of that city, and of course,
there was no trouble with them over
selling spoiled or adulterated food
stuffs and drinkss friThe inspector had
garbage barrels. placed all over the
grounds at Ieavetworth. Inspector
G. M. Pike is stationed at Hutchinson
and he has sent no complaint in as yet
to Secretary Crumbine.
The secretary, in speaking of the
innovation started this year to force
state and county fairs to live up to the
letter of the health and sanitary regu-
lations, declared that this work was
most important and still closer atten-
ton would be paid to it next year. TT
is the most practical and needed work
in our line, SAID Inc secretary To-Day.
Great crowds of people gather on a
picnic grounds in hot weather and US
ually they will buy without question
anything offered them in the food and
drink line when they would be more
particular anywhere else. Where the
food from stands is placed on display
on counters in such profusion the most
rigid regulations should be observed
regarding closets and all sanitary reg
ulations on account of the particular
danger of infection from flies"

TAFT HAS A DOUBLE.
He Is Willard j. Turner, a Citizen of
Musl1egOn, Mich.

Muskegon, Mich, Sept. 1850
closely. does. Willard ]. Turner of this
city resemble the presidential nominee
that it is said that should Mr.. Taft
meet him he would think he was look
ing into a mirror. Both men are built
along the same general lines and wear
the same type of mustache. Friends of
the two claim nature has duplicated
herself in this case.
If Michigan cannot have a presiden-
tial nominee she takes great pride in
having a second edition of the Repub-
lican candidate. Mr. Turner is a
prominent attorney and is as popular
locally as the presidential nominee
himself. The similarity in the p11ysi-
cal appearance of the two men was
noticed long before the Chicago con-
vention placed Judge Taft in nominal
ton. Years ago, when Taft first came
into prominence, the resem blance be-
tween these two was noticed and COM
mented upon. The similarity extends
even to the facial expression and in
certain positions which Mr.. Turner
unconsciously assumes. He has also
the same genial manner as Mr.. Taft.

CRuMB1NE TO WASHINGTON.
Kansas Doctor VIII Read a Paper on
Country Slaughter Houses.

DR.. S. ]. Crumbine is preparing
paper to read at Washington, D. c.,
on September 26 before the state and
provincial boards of health of North
America. The paper is on this sub
ject:
Discussion of a law or laws cover
ing country slaughter houses and
state meat inspection. together with
a provision for licensing system with
fees"
1t is likely that as result of this
meeting. a bill will be drafted and re-
commended for adoption by all the
state legislatures of the United States.
Statistics show that nearly half of all
the animals slaughtered in the United
States are slaughtered in country
slaughter houses, without any in
spection whatever. The natural result
is that all Of the diseased animals are
worked up in these slaughter houses,
because they can not pass the inspec-
ton OF the federal inspectors at the
big packing houses.

PosTMAsrERs. TO TEACH.
Ordered to Lecture in Schools on De-
~ tails of Their Work.


Washington. Sept. .15.-Postmaster
General Meyer has made an order
which promises benef1cent results. The
postmasters of the country have been
directed to confer with their local
school authorities as to the practical
bility and desirability of delivering to
the school children short talks on the
postal service. The design is to in
form the pupils OF the scope of its op-
erations, the methods Of delivering the
mails, classification of mail matter,
and registry and money order systems.
Incidentally they are to make
known plans for betterment, such as
the Establishment of postal savings
banks and the extension of the parcel
post. Wherever it may be impracti-
cable for postmasters to deliver lee
lures they are to furnish the necessary
information to the school supervisors
SO as to equip the regular teachers. 1t
is the postmaster generals expectation
that the school children will be useful
to the postal service in seeing that
letters are properly and plainly ad-
dressed.
That there is necessity for action of
the kind is shown by the volume of
business transacted by the dead letter
office. During the last year 10, 145,172
pieces of mail matter were sent there
because the postoffices were unable to
read the directions.

TEN DAYS OF SPEAKING
Taft VIII Start on Stamping Tour
About Sept. 25.

Chicago. Sept. 15.-Ten DAYS of
travelling. with almost constant speak
ing has been arranged for w. H. Taft,
the Republican candidate for presi-
dent: The trip will be made on a
special train starting from some Illf-
nois point probably Chicago. about
September rs The tour will extend
as far north as Minneapolis and Fargo,
as far south as several points in KAN
sas and west to Denver.
Mr.. Taft will be back to Chicago in
time to speak before the Deep Water
Ways convention on October T.
The itinerary of Judge Taft engaged
the attention of Chairman F. H.
Hitchcock of the Republican national
committee as soon as he arrived from
New York. Political leaders were
here to meet the chairman from North
Dakota, South Dakota Utah, Mime
sofa, Kansas and Tennessee and Wis
cousin and Kentucky and. the repre-
sentatives of several other states COM
municated with headquarters by tele-
phone. Every state in the middle west
has made numerous demands for Mr..
Taft and the leaders have not hest
tated to use a pesSimiStic note to hoi-
ster up their argument that the Re-
publican candidate is needed in order
to make their states safe. AS re-
suit it was a difficult task for Chair
man Hitchcock and Senator Dixon, di-
rector of the speakers bureau to make
up satisfa Glory dates.
Mr.. Taft will speak in Cincinnati
September % at the convention of the
National League of Republican clubs
1t is likely that he will attend a rally
being arranged by George AIDE at his
farm near Brook, Indiana. the date for
which will be arranged to suit Mr.
Taft's convenience. This rally is ex-
pected to be a novel affair and Mr.
AIDE plans to have it before Taft starts
west 1t is possible also that Mr.. Taft
will make one speech in Louisville
and another at some place lin, Tennes-
see before the 70 days trip is begun
There is to be only one big meeting
arranged for Mr.. Taft in each state tC
be visited. AT other points in the
states through which the special trains
run Mr.. Taft will show himself on the
rear platform, talking wherever it is
possible for him to do SO. AS DiXor
expressed it I'VE are going to..let the
people see their candidate and Learn
to call him BILL

ROOT THE HERO,
His Name Brought More Applause
Than That of Any Other Man.

Saratoga Sept. 15-Secretary of State
Root was the central figure in the first
session of the Republican state conven-
ton which met here late yesterday af-
ternoon. The convention effected tenn
porary organization. heard the speech
of Mr. Root as temporary chairman and
adjourned until this afternoon at .
o'clock. It is no less than truth to
say that the welcome accorded to Sec
rotary Root surpassed in enthusiasm
if not in duration those which were
accorded upon the mention of the
names of President Roosevelt, Governor
Hughes or the presidential nominee, w.
H. Taft himself.
Secretary Roots speech consumed a
little less than an hour and half in
delivery. The great body of delegates
and alternates numbering more than
1000 persons and the people in the gall
leries heard the speech with evident APP
prevail 1t dealt almost exclusively with
national matters, but began with a
tribute to the work OF Governor
Hughes and the state administration
in general.
An amusing episode during the speech
occurred when Mr.. Root repudiated the
inference which he attributed to Mr.
BRYAN that the enormous popular ma
jority accorded the Republican national
ticket in 1904 was obtained by corrupt
use of money. The convention was
heartily cheering this sentiment when
the band broke out with the familiar
strains of tArrah -Gowan, You're Only
Foolin'." Sd,
The crowd "caught on" almost in
stantly and began to laugh. Mr.. Root
evidently did not recognize the tune
and seemed perplexed and even annoy
ed by the general laughter. 1t quickly
subsidized and he proceeded without see
ing the joke at all
A feature of the session was the in
PRODUCTION of c. w. Anderson of New
York, the colored member at large of
the state committee who is a deputy
collector of internal revenue for the
Second district. of an extended resolu-
ton paying glowing tribute to the
character and public service of Mr..
Taft and more particularly extending
to the presidential nominee the con-
gratuations of the convention on his
fifty-first birthday, which occurred to-
day.
The resolution was adopted with
shout and the secretary was instructed
to telegraph it to Mr.. Taft.
More than ordinary interest attaches
to the personnel of the committee on
resolutions which is to present the plat
form, especially as when the list was
read it was seen it consisted largely
of representatives of the anti-HUghes
wing of the convention, or at least of
local leaders more or less avowedly
opposed to measures, which Governor
Hughes has made chief of the features
of his legislative programme. Job E.
Hedges of New York was named as
chairman.

THE CONTRACTS SIGNED.
Kansas and Missouri to Play Annual
Games in Kansas City.

Kansas City, Sept. 15.-For the
next five years the annual football
struggle between Kansas and Mis-
souri, will be played on the Associa-
ton park field. Owner Tebeau an
nounced last night that the repre-
sentatives of the two universities had
accepted the terms offered and the
contracti had been signed. Accord
ing to the terms of the contract Mr..
Tebeau will receive IL per cent of
the gross receipts for the park
rental. Last year the owner of Asso-
citation held out for 25 per cent of
the gross receipts, and the game was
taken to st. Joseph.
81 would have let the universities
have the park last year If they had
made the same proposition to me
that the members of the Kansas and
Missouri alumni made this year"
said Owner Tebeau last night. They
have agreed to limit the total amount
of passes to 500 and it will make a
great difference in the receipts. Here
tofore it has been the policy of the
football management to issue between
700 and 500 passes for each game.
The contract signed is for five years
and, there. was, no hitch whatever
about the proposition"

tism of his father, John William Cain,

very pleasant surprise to A. L. Mayer,

sired to meet him once more before his
departure for Chicago. where he en-
ters the Y. M. C. A. training school.

premature session When the door bell
rang and Mr.. Mayer was ushered into
the presence of his many friends,
much to his pleasure and surprise.
After shaking hands with those who
came to do him honor, the crowd was
entertained by its talented members
with music and readings, and when the
evening was well spent Mr. Mayer
listened to a presentation address by
Claude w. Blake in which his services
as an officer of the league and as as
sistant secretary at the r. R. Y. NJ. c.
A were very highly commended. He
was presented with two volumes, the
work of his favorite author, Henry
Van Dyke Mr. Mayer made a very
impressive response and expressed his
deep appreciation of the honor thus
conferred. He said that he would
never forget his many friends in To-
peka.
Mr.. Heinselman, president of the
league. announced that Mr.. Mayer had
left very handsome copy of the Bible
with him which he desired to present
to the. league and on behalf of the
league thanked Mr.. Mayer very sim
cerely for such an elegant gift

COMPLAINS TO GOVERNOR HocH.
Prisoner in SedgwicI County Jail Has
g. o., - A Grievance.

A letter. smuggled out of the coun-
ty Jail at Wichita and mailed to Gov
ernor Hoch has been received, in
which one of the prisoners in the Jail
tells a story of mistreatment and
wretched accommodations which may
bring about an investigation of CON
dftions by Wichita people.
This prisoner says that the prison.
ers get only two adequate meals a
day, and that if they ask for more to
eat. they are locked up in the dun
geon. He says that the sanitary con-
ditions of the Jail render it unfit for
human habitation.
When Governor Hoch read the let
ter, he said: .'There is no doubt that
the condition of many of the county
and city 1ails of Kansas is a disgrace
to the state and to civilization. / don't
know how it is in Wichita but know
that in many counties the prisoners
have good ground to protest.

\ An Eight Year-OId Boy Came Near
Being Carried Away.

New York. Sept. 15.-Swooping down
into a crowd of persons who were
watching a recent baseball game near
Port Richmond, s. l., an American
eagle attacked John Pollackson, 8 years
old A group of men set upon the bird
and George Pollackson. father of the
boy. ran to his home, procured shot
gun and, returning. killed the eagle.
The ball game was in full swing and
young Pollaclson was stretched on the
ground absorbed in the contest when
the eagle descended and planted its
claws in his neck. The boy yelled and
the lads immediate neighbors tried to
grasp the eagle. This was no easy
matter, but several OF the men finally
contrived to release the boy and to
catch the eagle by its talons and hold
1t until Mr.. Pollackson returned with
his gun. The eagle measured feet 6
inches from tip to tip. Young Pollock
son was not injured beyond few
scratches.
