HOUSTON ITEMS.

There was a meeting Saturday night Of the
men who are Interested in a new school build.
ing in this town. Houston is a prosperous
town and needs a school building that will
cope with our other Improvements Eduoa-
tiOnal advantages are neglected so long as we
go on doing with the building we new have.
A school building should be desirable place
for our children to gather, where they are
comfortably seated where the room is prop
erly heated and Ventilated. The building we
now have doesn't properly present any OF
these necessities. The most OF us have the
welfare OF our Children at heart and these are
the ones who are saying, "give us a new school |
building" Our former principal, Prof A. L. |
Harrington, has been reelected for another !
school year. Miss Eugenia Graham has made
vacancy in urprimary department by maxi
ing known her Intentions OfnOt teaching next

WHEW, IT'S HOT!
Everyone Is Sweltering These
Days.
Young and Old, Great and Small,
Suffer Alike.
q
PLEA TO KEEP COOL.
Only Plan Is to Work Hard and
Forget the Heat.
Another Remedy Is to Listen to
Stories of Hotter Times.

Topeka. like the rest of the country
except the mountain tops, is IN thc
grip of the hot weather. It's not!
ISeastly hot! This weather has become
monotonous. 1t is wearing. One Is az
his lowest ebb, physically and men
tally.
The woman in the kitchen is hot
the little folks playing in the yard are
hot: the business man in his office Is
hot. and the laborer out under the
boiling sun is hotter. while the news
paper man at his desk is the hottest OF
them all. for the heat clogs his men
tai machinery to the point where ne
cannot grind out copy.
In desperation he turns to the neat
for an inspiration. Why not write
about the hot weather? If the sWelter-
ing public rise and lynch him, being
newspaper man, he will go to cooler
place.
Bryan and Taft have been nomina-
ted Roosevelt is taking his vacation
the Chautauqua orators are spenolnS
their earnings at the summer resorts.
the Turks have won their lnoepenu-
ence the third Gans-Nelson night mas
been called off, the Atlantic battleshlp
feet has flashed an o. K. from the SOL
itude of the Pacific, the Olvmpic games
are over, Leland and Stubbs are peat
ing the bushes far to the southwark
White and Morgan have ABOUT run
down. Topeka has a safe lead in the
pennant race. while the state fair Is
still a month or more ahead. so OF a"
live, warm subjects the hot weather
alone is left to fall back upon.
To Topekans who cannot escape TO
the mountains or the northern lakes
but must abide at home and bear the
brunt of the heat let's treat it coolly
and not get mad and fume and fret.
Such procedure will raise the tempera-
ture several degrees. Be polite-Dut
let it be that frigid politeness that viii
give the unwelcome visitor the chill
bIains. and directly he will cease to be
such bother.
Another recipe is to "gingerup" and
work so hard you will forget all about
the heat. (While the writer has never
tried this plan. yet he has seen scores
of testimonials to its never failing sue
cess.) r- -..
Still another scheme is to be always
in a good humor and laugh and joke
with your warm" friends, and declare
home compared with the temperature
down town.
Another unfailing remedy is to listen
TO the oldtimers tell of the heat in the
summer of 1885, when the grass caught
fire from the heat of the suns rays
and the earth baked so hard it crack
ed open and a great many head of i've
stock fell into these amateur graves
and were heard of no more.
These remedies, all taken at one dose
in one day, are guaranteed not to tall,
and are cheerfully recommended to
sweltering fellow sufferers.

SILK IN MATTRESSES.
Clever Work of Two Italian Snugglers
Is Revealed

New York. July 2S.-In the detection of
two nervy smugglers. who brought in
s., 900 worth of the finest grades of silk
wearing apparel and drapery, concealed in
mattresses on a transatlantic liner the
custom house officials believe they have
ern department stores and bargain coun-
tiers have been indirectly supplied with
the choicest workmanship of italian silk
mills at bottom prices for a number of
years.
The steamer came into the harbor with
50 first and second class passengers.
Among the former were two dark, slim
dapper Neapolitan brothers, whose names,
according to the sailing list. were August
and Vincent Buons. Inspector John H.
Callaghan found nothing in their trunks
When he came to examine their SIX other
listed items of baggage, however, he
found that each was addressed to diff
ferent western city and that each piece
contained two mattresses.
The Buons brothers stated they intended
to start a boarding house In st. Louis,
the address of one of the bundles of mat
tresses and that of the other mattresses
cities Callaghan ripped open one of the
mattresses. 1t contained at first what
seemed to be smaller mattress with
muslin cover. The smaller muslin wrap
ped mattress contained a gross of silk
mufflers of every shade. The second
mattress opened contained two dozen
white, lace embroidered bed spreads. The
third mattress contained two dozen silk
shawls beautifully interviewer, embroid-
cred and decorated with raised figures. A
were discovered in the fourth mattress.
The fifth held fifteen bed quilts with red
coverings and edges with deep lace
fringe. Another mattress contained fifty
with a raised honeycomb pattern and
gross of lace embroidered pillow shams

Letter of Acceptance.
Injects Kansas Senatorial CUES.
tf0n Into 1t.
HE TACKLES A BIG JOB
Tries to Prove Long Is Not in
Harmony With Taft.
Amusing Advice to Get Right
With Taft"

Emporia. Kan, July 2s.-In discuss
ing Judge Taft's speech of acceptance
In an editorial in the Emporia Gazette
today, w. A. White injects the Kan
sas senatorial question into it as fol-
lows: The letter of acceptance today
published by Judge Taft, and address
ed to the Republicans of this country
is remarkable document from a re-
markable man. 1t first of all illus
trates his open mindedness and
through it all proves his courage. He
has the same courage that Roosevelt
has shown, and Taft shows it with as
much force even If the kind of force
is different force.
For Taft this year, just as Roose-
welt four years ago proved that no
party platform can limit him. He has
taken up the rejected LaFollette
amendments to the Republican plat
form and has testified to his belief in
the substance of these in spite of the
fact that the party threw these amend
ments out. He goes further than the
platform goes in the matter of injunc-
lions, favoring change of judges in
contempt trials wherein the contempt
is committed outside the presence of
the court and he favors returning the
original practice under the old statute
OF the United States, which did not
permit the issuing of injunctions with
out notice.
He testifies to his belief in the
election of United States senators by
the people and favors publicity for the
names of donors to campaign funds.
Also he believes, as all progressive Re
publicans believe. that a physical valu-
alton of railroads should be made as
one of the factors in adjusting rates
and he shows that he does not believe
that fh6 Hpnhl1rn Ia
the means for such a valuation.
THE progressive Republicans of Kan
sas, who were disappointed at the 81
lence of the party platform on this
matter were told by the machine that
this silence was at the request of Sec
rotary Taft. His frank discussion OF
the subject rejected at Chicago indi-
Gates that those who rejected them and
got behind Taft's ample coat tails to
hide their own short comings are I'M
worthy of public confidence
This allusion" continues White. re-
fers especially to Senator Long. Bris-
tow asked Long whether Long believes
in election of senators by the people
Long is silent because his vote this
year was against it but Taft says
yes.
"Bristow asked Long if he was 4ir
favor of the publicity of the names Of
donors of campaign funds. Long wher
the matter was before the senate thi.
year made a record of silence in the
national convention voted no and is
silent in Kansas, but Taft says yes
"Bristow asked Long where he stood
on physical valuation. and Long hav-
ing voted against physical valuation
measure in the senate and voted
against a plank in the Republican plat
form. says the present law will do and
Taft says it probably will not go fan
enough.
1T is up to Senator Long to quit
abusing Bristow for having a persona
platform, and to get right with Bris.
tow and Taft by getting on Taft'S per.

CAN'T FIND The MONEY.
Government Detectives Baf1ed In
Savage Case.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 2s.-AI the
energy of the federal detectives in
Kansas City is centered in an effort to
find the $4,000 stolen here in June
from the mail pouch while en- route
from Los Angeles to New York, and
for which crime Charles Savage, the
negro, is being held.
The postoffice officials here now
profess to be convinced that Savage
won't divulge the hiding place of the
money.
After questioning Savage and OBJ
serving his evasion and adroit answers
I belive that he had instructions from
a lawyer" w. j. Vickery, chief post
office inspector in Kansas City, said
this morning. ut appears that he
anticipated arrest and that he sought
the advice of an attorney. He could
not be trapped in any. of his answers.
However. we believe that We can find
the money or what is left of it. 1t will
take time to do it, but we are quite
positive that We'll get it."

DOGS WE'RE NOT MAD.
just Vicious, Says George Ward. Who
Killed Them.

Deputy Sheriff George Ward, who
killed the two dogs which attacked a
small boy named Hoberg Monday,
performed the job neatly, and to the
satisfaction Of DR.. McDonough, who
will make a chemical investigation of
the brain of the dogs. The physician
had told Ward not to shoot the dogs
in the head, as the brain should be
preserved free from blood clots. For
this reason, the officer had some DIM
Guilty in staying the CANNES.
Il know very little about mad
dogs said Ward later, "but 1 am in
clined to think that these dogs were
simply vicious. They had chased this
same boy on several occasions, and
they came at me like they were
ready for another lunch. always un-
derstood that real mad dogs did not
bark. These two barked a plenty be-
fore they were killed"
Mr.. George Maths. owner of the
farm which the Hobergs rent, assist
ed Ward in the destruction of the
vicious dogs.
The Hoberg boy was lacerated in
about thirty different places by the
teeth of the dogs. but his injuries were
not deep enough to be serious.

NOT OUT OF THE WOODS
But George Gould Says His Roads Are
Doing "a Normal Business.

New York. July 2s.-George j.
Gould, head of the Gould system of
railways. on returning from Europe
today said that nothing would give
him greater pleasure than to have E.
H. Hartman in the directorate of the
Gould roads. Replying to a question
whether Mr.. Hartman would become
a director of the Gould system Mr.
Gould said:
81 can not say except that nothing
would give me greater pleasure than
to have Mr.. Hartman with us. We
need all the help of able men that We
can secure. The railroad managers
lot is not a particularly happy one.
Some of the diamonds have dropped
from our crown"
Mr.. Gould said that he knew Moth
ing concerning an arrangement for the
payment of SS000,000 of notes of the
Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad which
fall due on August 1. Concerning his
own property he said: I'VE are not
yet out of the woods"
While business had not yet reached
the volume of last year, he added. his
roads were now doing a normal bust
ness. The receiverships of some or his
roads. he stated, were of a friendly
nature and were designed to keep the
properties intact and to protect them
from hostile interests.
Mr.. Gould laid much stress upon the
excellence of crop conditions which ne
said particularly affected the welfare
of the Gould roads.
Concerning the Standard Oil de-
cision MI. Gould expressed unqualified
satisfaction.
81 think said Mr.. Gould, that
marks the turn in the business situa-
ton. Looking at 1t from the stand
point of railroad credit, nothing did
more to hurt this credit abroad than
the huge fine assessed by Judge Lam
dis. The foreign investor felt that at
