JOLT FOR HUGHES.
Vote Was Over Two to One Against
Him at Primaries.

New York, Sept. 9.-Chairman
Woodruff of the Republican state
committee in a statement issued today
on the result of the primaries held in
greater New York yesterday, said:
'The magnitude of the opposition
manifested to Gov. Hughes in New
York, and particularly in Kings coun-
ty. certainly justifies the position
which I have taken that we would
have to await the gathering of the del
egates at Saratoga to enIghten us as
to the actual situation in all the as
sembly districts which are the unit of
representation. I have of course, rec
ognized the very large and earnest
sentiment in his favor among many
classes and the very best classes OF Re
publicans, but could not be blind to
the opposition which for the time was
made evident yesterday to the public
Herbert Parsons. chairman of the
New York county Republican commit
tee said this afternoon that an analysis
OF the vote in this county shows a
large majority, in favor of the nomina-
ton of Governor Hughes Mr. Parsons
Hughes would have the support OF a
large majority of the delegates from
New York county to the sJace Repubh-
can convention. While the test vote
was made in only nine assembly dis
tricts in New York county, Mr.. Parsons
Sald II was quite apparent lildl IhSLS
is strong Hughes sentiment among
certain element which votes the Re-
publican ticket. 1t was shown also, he
said that there is bitter opposition to
the governor in certain quarters, no
tably in those sections of the city,
where foreign born citizens predom-
mate. In the selected districts of
Kings county the net vote against the
governors denomination was more
than two to one.
There are many who are not inclin-
ed to accept yesterdays voting in the
scattered districts as indicative of SEN
timent throughout the greater city.
One of the points made is tnat nothing
like the full vote was brought out.

RlNGLINGS SUED.
Mrs. Willard Hall Seeks Damages for
Personal Injuries.

The Ringing circus was attached by
Sheriff Wilkerson Tuesday afternoon.
The attachment was released within a
few minutes, the management of the
show having secured a trust company
bond.
The petitions, two in number, upon
which the show was attached. were
submitted by Willard N. Hall, and his
wife, Mrs Luella Hall. Both were
practically the same, except in the
amount of damages. Hall stated that
on the night of September 26. 1906 the
Ringing circus was showing in Topeka
at the fair grounds, and that the de-
fendant show company was negligent
in the manner in which it returned its
large troupe of elephants to the rail-
road. Mrs. Hall was driving across
Topeka avenue at Eleventh street,
when the elephants came plodding
down the street, in charge of keepers.
Halls horse became frightened, turned
suddenly, upset the buggy and threw
Mrs Hall to the pavement, and then
ran away, totally destroying the buggy
and harness. He asserted that the
Ringlings were careless, and should
have sent a crier ahead of the herd, to
warn drivers. For damages, he wants
5000 for the loss of the buggy, 800 for
injuries to the horse, and $500 for dam
ages to his wife.
Mrs. Hall wants $1,500 damages for
injury received in the accident.
The show people gave bond for
double the sum asked.

DIED AT AGE OF 113.
Aunt Sally Ruthford Passes Away
Last Night.

Born in August, 1875. 1t is doubt
full whether there is another such a
person in Kansas. Mrs. Sally Ruth
ford, an old colored woman living at
1903 Buchanan, died last night at the
age of 113 years. She had lived In
Topeka for forty-three years and in
the same house during this time. Her
death was caused by old age and came
after a sickness of three weeks.
Mrs. Ruthford was one of the most
remarkable of old women. She was
born near Middleton. Simpson county.
Kentucky, in August, 1895, and lived
there until after the war when she
was made free. During. the war sle
cooked in the army and had three
sons who fought and died for the
cause. She then moved to Nashvilie.
Tenn, and lived there until forty
three years ago when she moved 10
Topeka. Her home at 1909 Buchanan
was then over a mile from Topeka.
Mrs. Ruthford had four generations
of children living at the present time.
Last Sunday they all came to Topeka
to see the old lady and at that time
she said she was reaCr- 20 Gle at any
time. having gone through the hap
piest day of her. life. Only one of
Mrs. Ruthford's children is living.

youngest of eleven children born TO
Mrs. Ruthford. Mrs. Finley is nrty@
three years of age

Things to Eat in Summer.

THESE are days when meats should
be eaten in dainty bits-not great
chunks or slabs, or roasts, or fries. or
boils-but little suggestions of the
great meat world, without houndering
about in it,
bits might not be amiss Get soma

In these days, when a zephyr is a
JOY and butterfly is landscape, one
doesn't need to sit down to a loaded
table-w1th meats, and puddinxs and
soups, and salads-why, It is enough to
make the blue skies look mad. In the
Wintert1me, when the winds are howl
ing and the icicles are hanging from
the caves, man wants magnitude in
his eating, but when the June soIstica
has passed, he sighs for the grace of II.
Even an egg or. a lamb chop seems
too warm these days, and one rlaturaI-
ly looks around for the cottage cheese.
and even suspects there is enouwf1
meat in doughnut to answer all prac-
tical purposes. The old-fashioped pie
seems too heavy for these DAYS Of
crystal sunshine, but If the filling were
appropriate to the shortcake form. il
would not seem so.
Then, there is that Porto Rican
combination of rice and beans-the
latter red, boiled with a mere slip of
pork. These are served separately on
the table, but are mixed in the plate OF
the eater. No Porto Rican meal Of
any consequence is served without this
combination. There is more strength

Sheldon; Ewart and Vorhis; Peabody
and Sweet; Fink and Lane: Mont
gomery and Lovewell; s. Bishop and
Corwin; Neiswanger and Davidson.
The tournament in singles has mar
rowed down to about half a dozen
players, and the first match in the
semifinals will be played this afternoon
at o'clock between Sheldon and Love-
well, on the Y. NJ. c. A courts at Ninth
and Polk streets.
In the third round of the singles
tournament Tuesday afternoon, Shell
don beat Prof Lane of Washburn, 60
and 6-3, while Lovewell beat Dadis-
man. 60 and 60. This threw Shell
don and LoveweH together in the semi
finals. In the semifinals, the winner
must take three out Of five sets, in
stead of two out of three, as in the pre-
liminary rounds.
One of the best contests of the tour
nament is now in progress between
Collinson and Neiswanger. This is a
second round match, and was generally
regarded as likely to be an easy vic
tory for Collinson. Neiswanger was in
great form Tuesday afternoon, and
had Collinson in trouble with his fine
lobbing. Neiswanger took the first set
"a. and the second set was 5-5 when
it was called on account of darkness.
These two players will resume play on
the second set this afternoon.
S. Bishop and Fink also had a ter
rifle fight Tuesday afternoon in the
third round of the tournament, Bishop
finally winning. Fink won the first
set Cd; Bishop took the second set
Ga, and the third set was won by
Bishop 11-9, after a hard struggle.
This puts Bishop into the semifinals,
where he will have to meet either
Copeland, Collinson or Neiswanger.

county, placed her two little girls with
the Kansas Children's home society
seventeen years ago. The children
were taken to Topeka and the mother
has not heard of them since. She has
since remarked and now being in
more comfortable circumstances de-
sireS to recover her children but the
Topeka society refuses to give her any
information or answer her letters She
has written many letters to Rev. o. S.
Morrow but she has heard nothing.
She has written a number of reg
istered letters but the superintendent
does not answer them. At last grow
ing desperate she has been advised by
the juvenile judge to take the mat
ter up before the prosecuting attorney
or attorney general.
In the first place, the Kansas Chill
dren's Home society has only been or
ganized 15 years and the children were
turned over to the society two years
after the organization. In the second
place Rev. Mr.. Morrow has never failed
to give all the information possible in
relation 10 the children. 1t Is against
the policy of the society to tell the wo-
man of the whereabouts of the children
or of their adopted parents. This is
never told to anyone. But the society
has given Mrs. Noschese a chance to
correspond to the children through
Mr.. Morrow and she has done SO. In
the third place Mrs. Noschese was liv-
ing IN topeka Wnen Sne turned the
children over to the Kansas society and
contrary to the reports, she was per-
fectly willing to have them adopted.
At the present time one of the
daughters is married and happy and
as she is of age the Kansas Children's
Home society has no authority over
her. The other daughter is about IA
years of age and seems perfectly con-
tented where she is. However, the
mother is in communication with them
and their differences will be settled
without the aid of the court.

Best Reports From First and
Fifth Districts.
PEACHES EVEN BETTER

Walter Wellhouse. secretary of the
state board of horticulture, today is
sued a fruit report" showing the per-
centage of a crop which will be raised
in Kansas this year. His returns in
dicate that the various kinds of fruits
will yield as follows:
Apples, IL per cent.
Pears. 81 per cent.
Peaches, 46 per cent.
Grapes 54 per cent.
The report says: lowing to the very
favorable weather conditions. apples
show a gain of per cent for the state
since our last report was made; pears
have improved II per cent. Peaches
have declined per cent and grapes 8
per cent in quantity
"The fifth congressional district has
the best and most apples with the
eighth a close second. In pears the
fifth district again leads with the
third district only one point behind. In
peaches the eighth district IS ahead
with a gain of only two per cent over
the first district With grapes the
fifth district is first and the eighth sec
ond.
There are not many wormy apples
in the state, and bitter rot has affected
but few. Some correspondents have
reported their apple crop as the larg-
est and finest they have ever grown.
Scab and hail have damaged the fruit
in some localities.
THE western part of the sixth and
seventh districts have no fruit, as it
was all killed by severe spring froSts.
All fruit accredited to those districts

Reimburse School Fund.

State Treasurer Mark Tulley, in his
annual report to the governor and leg

changes in the management of the
state funds. His most important rec
ommendation, however. Is that the next
legislature appropriate $21, 700 to fill up
a hole in the state school fund caused
by the unwise investment of state
school money in times past. The S21,-
200 shortage is due to the fact that
some of the bonds purchased have been
held by the courts to be worthless, and
some have been compromised for less
