Secret Service.
Last year an amendment was incor.
porated IN the measure providing for
the secret service which provided that
there shonld be no detail from the Sc
cret service and no transfer therefrom.
lt ls not too much TO say that this
amendment has been OF benefit only.
ana could he OF benefit only, to the
criminal classes. The amendment In
question was Of benefit 10 no one ex.
ceptlng TO criminals. and II seriously
hampers the government In the detec.
ton OF crime and the securing of jus,
tlce. II prevents the promotion of EN-
ployees In the secret service. ana this
Further discourages good effort. In its
present form the restriction operates
only to the advantage OF the criminal,
Of the wrongdoer.
The chief argument IN favor OF the
provision was that the congressman
did not themselves wish TO be lnvesti,
gated by secret service men. Very lit
tie OF such Investigation has been done
In the past. but 1t Is true that the work

PREHISTORIC BONES.
Portions of Huge. skeleton Located
Near Fowler. Kan.

Salina, Kan, Sept. s.-Bones Of a
huge prehistoric animal have been
found near Fowler and a further
search is to be made this week in the
hope that other skeletons and the re-
mainder of theone just found can be
found. The bones found apparently
were the thigh and pelvis and another
fiat bone believed to have been the
skull of the animal. The pelvis bone
was 40 inches wide. 1t crumbled as
it was being taken from the ground.
The lower end of the thigh bone was
nine inches across and at the hip
joint it was 13 inches in diameter.

Most Popular
Girls in Town
The &c Girls, Who Give
Away Dollar Bills

Yes, indeed. the &c Girls are here.
Ihere's no mistake about that They're
mere and they are giving away money,
too,-nlce new dollar bills.
This is the E-C Girls first day in To-
peka. They declare they are going to
pc tne busiest persons in town all the
while they are here.
1t might seem like easy work, just
giving away money" said one of the
E-C Girls today. ''WelI, we don't have
any trouble finding people who are en-
Titled to our money but we have to
cover lot of ground every day. and
oo lot or talking. For we are lust
as advertised you know. When the
Egg-O-See company said it would send
us here it meant just exactly what the
advertisements said. Then, besides Civ
ing away the money. we try to tell
everybody we meet about our dandy
eood food, E-C Corn Flakes. So you
see we keep busy from early morning
same"
Why shouldn't the &c Girls like
thelr work? They are certainly the
most popular young women in Topeka
today. There is a novelty about their
work which makes them of exceeding
interest.
Early this morning, dressed in their
neautlful street suits, made of fine
nnens IN the national colors, the &c
Girls left their hotel and drove out over
the city with representatives of the
Egg-O-See Cereal company. During the
day they called at large number of
homes, and at every home where they
found a package of E-C Corn Flakes
they left a one dollar bill, a CHEEKY
word and pleasant smile.
Grocers say everybody in town is lay
ing in supply of E-C Corn Flakes.
The &c Girls talked enthusiastically
| and Interestingly of the Egg-O-See Ce-
real company's great factories at
Quincy, ILL.,, and Buffalo. N Y where
every day, nearly half a million pack
ages of &c Corn Flakes are made and
shipped out, fresh and crisp, to all parts
of America.

The Illinois Thunderbolt Easil,
Defeats Stanley Kitchel.
The Michigan Lad Was Never in
1t From the Start.
A AWHIRLWIND BATTLE
In Only the Third Round Did
Ketchel Show Form.
Bout Ended i'm Twelfth With
Victor in Fine Shape.

Vernon Arena. Los Angeles. Cal,
Sept.-S.-Stanley Ketchel of Mich
igan, former middleweight champion
of the world. was knocked out in the
twelfth round at Jeffries' Vernon
arena at o'clock Monday afternoon
by Billy Papke of Illinois who is now
middleweight champion of the world.
1t was a case of the Illinois "thun-.
derbolt' against Michigan KILLER
and the "thunderbolt'' won
Both men entered the ring in ap-
parent perfect condition and neither
had ever been knocked out. Ketchel
had decision over Papke in ten
round bout. Both men are as clean
looking prize fighters as one sees. but
the bout ended as one of the bloodiest
in ring history.
Ketchel came in wearing tattered
dressing gown and a worn out hunt
ing cap and trunks of green gauze.
He had q feline stride, the smile of
an unSpoiled boy, a fine brow, wide
clear eyes and a shrewd look of pur-
pose. When Papke came in he also
wore an old dressing gown and a boy
ish smile. Ketchel was freshly shaven
while Papke was unshaven. Ketchel
wore the air of an undefeated con-
queror and was the great favorite of
the crowd which had done betting on
him at two to one. When Papke en-
tered he walked blithely to Ketchels
corner and greeted him with hand
shake and a cordial smile but when
James ]. Jeffries, the referee, called
time and Ketchel walked to the CEN
ter extending his hand for the shake.
Papke ignored the hand and smiled
into the Michigan man with the fiery
impetuosity which entitled him to be
called '"Thunderbolt." The fight was
practically over a minute and twenty
seconds after the gong sounded. From
that time on it was merely a question
c a Sf
Papke tore into Ketchel with such
fury that the undefeated champion
was simply lifted off his feet four
times within the next minute.
Papke knocked Ketchel to the mat
for the count and from his first knock
down Ketchel never really recovered his
form. He was a defeated man, dazed,
bleeding, struggling from 20 blows in
the face and yet he came back and
stayed with terrible determination
and for at least three rounds held his
own with the challenger.
When ketchel stepped to the center
for the second round it was seen his
right eye was closed. At the next in
termission his seconds lanced the eye
and sucked the blood, but Ketchel never
regained the sight of his right eye. Be-
fore the finish the other eye was all
but closed and for the last three rounds
he staggered about the ring dizzy like
a drunken man, practically blind.
In the third Ketchel showed his best
form when he forced Papke through
the ropes. The gong saved Ketchel just
as he was knocked through the ropes.
Another minute finished him with
Papke almost as strong as when he
entered tho ring.
KetcheI was carried to his dressing
room. Both eyes were swollen into
great black puffs and completely closed.
His lips were cut and swollen to sew
eral times their normal size.
