Topeka Man Appointed Consul at
Sarnia, Ontario.

Fred c. Slater, a Topeka lawyer
this afternoon received word of his
appointment as consul for the United

pointment was no surprise as he had

some extent, although he has never
held an elective office. Slater is a

When quite young he was brought
to this country where he received a
high school education and studied the

& Humphrey in Junction City for two
years.
He came to Kansas in 1879 set
Ting in Ellis county. After he had
secured admittance to the bar he

FOR FASTER BASEBALL.
Ban johnson Experimenting With Ball
of the Delehanty Period

Chicago, May 26.-President B. B.
johnson of the American league has
devised a scheme whereby the national
game will be made faster. He has OBJ
tanned a baseball which is springer
and faster than the one now used and
will distribute it to the various clubs
in his league The teams will try out
the ball in their practice and If it is
found satisfactory it will be used in all
championship games.
The ball is much the same as that
employed when Delehanty the first
used to whack out ten or twelve home
runs during a game. In those times
such brief hit as double was scorn-
ed. 1t had to be a triple or homer,
nothing else went. If the ball stands
the test the patrons of the American
league will see an increase in batting. .

FERREE KILLED AT GARLAND.
Struck by a Frisco Freight Train and
Ground to Death.

Fort Scott. Kan. May 26.-Last night
at IL O'Clock John w. Ferree, a plas-
terer and farmer living at Garland.
south of here, was instantly killed by
being struck by Frisco freight train.
At dawn his body was found by Andy
Long and father. who had started to
drive to this city. MIR. Ferree was so
years of age and had lived at Garland
for nearly 80 years. He is survived by
a wife, two married and three single
children.
Mr. Ferree spent the day in Mulberry
and came home on the 10 o'clock train.
The train pulled out. and Ferree, car
rying an umbrella, is supposed to have
wandered down the track trying to find
his way home. He lives two miles
north of Garland. In his meanderings
he probably never knew of the approach
of a train.
At IL o'clock a train came along and
this is the one that killed Ferree. He
was not seen by the engine crew, at
least no report was made by the crew
of any such accident. The mans body
was frightfully mangled by the acct
dent. His leg was broken, as was his
right arm. His face and head were
mashed to a pulp.
John w. Ferree was brother of Mrs.
L. A Ernich of 116 East Eighth ave-
nue. whose husband has been an en-
ploye of the Topeka State Journal for
many years.

CHANGE in THE SOUTH.
Senator McEnery Says 1t Is Going Over
to Protection.

Washington, May 26.-Promptly resum-
ing the thread of his discussion of the
sugar schedule of the tariff bill. Mr. Nc
Emery, La, in the senate today, dealt
with the attitude of the southern states
and southern statesmen, toward the policy
of protection. He said
THAT there is a change of sentiment go
ing on IN the south in relation to protec-
ton was shown recently and 1 hope SEN
ators from the south who have supported
protection on every industry in the state,
may extend the vision of their horizon
and accord protection 70 great national
interests"
McEnery spoke specially of the need of
a protective tariff on lumber, which in
dustry, he said, employed 50 900 men, pro-
ducing lumber worth $44,0o0,oo0 annually.
AFTER pointing out that southern SEN
ators had voted for duty on lumber,
which produces a revenue of only 5000 900
annually, Mr.. McEnery called attention to
the vastly greater income produced by
sugar which yields a revenue of 100000, 900.
1 want to appeal to southern senator's -
he declared in ringing tones, ito abandon
their absurd ideas of a tariff for revenue
only. and vote to support the industries
of the United States. Thomas Jefferson
said there should be a duty on the necessi-
ties Of life, because TINS government
should not be forced to depend on any
foreign country for it's necessaries
Il do not base my plea for a duty on
sugar for the great revenue it brings 1
put it on a higher plane. which is the
necessity for the country to become indie
pendent of any foreign government for
things it requires. Break down the tariff
on sugar and this country will be run over
with sugar from Europe, both refined and
granulated,. and it will stop every beet
factory in the country and stop the culture
of cane in the state of Louisiana
If the sugar trust, he said. had violated
the law the guilty men should be put in
the penitentiary.
But why cruelty the people to bring
down vengeance on the sugar trust?'' he

WHAT OF GERMS?
OsteoIY tbs Are Not Sure That They
Cause Disease.

A matter of considerable Importance
to the practicing Osteopaths of the
state came up at the National hotel
roof garden where theKansasOsteopathi
association is holding its eighth annual
convention. 1t was the reading OF
bill by DR.. F. M Godfrey of Holton,
member of the legislative committee,
which it is proposed to introduce at the
1911 session of the legislature. Inc OH
was prepared by DR.. Godfrey and Two
other members of the committee, DOC

being to provide for the appointment

present time the Ostopaths have their

DR.. Godfrey read a paper on LaGrippe,
and afterwards a discussion followed.
The question came up as to whether
germs actually cause disease, or
whether the germs are not simply pro-
duced by certain condition of the body.
Il seemed to be the general belief that
the presence of the germs, together with
a peculiar condition of the system
causes disease. A feminine member
of the profession was convinced that
there is nothing in the germ theory,
although she admitted their presence

Who He Said Abused Him.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 26.-James
A. Sharp, known as Adam God" on
trial for murder for his part in the

furnished a sensation in the criminal
court when he arose in his place at
the prisoners bench and accused a

I was not talking to him."

there was little basis for Sharp's

The cry has been raised to swat the
fly" But instead of waiting until he
walks into your parlor and your kitch-
ems to be swatted a better way is to
put up screens and keep them closed
so that Mr.. Fly and Mrs. Fly and the
whole Fly family can not get in.
The public has learned that the ordi-
nary house fly is the great propagation
Of disease. He can pick up some
germs out in the street bring thine to
the dining table or the cooks dishes,
and do more damage to health than
Turkish mob. Once let the fly into the
house and the chances are greatly in
his favor. But keep him out of doors
and the ozone of Kansas zephyrs will
cleanse him thoroughly and perhaps
transport him to another world or to
Oklahoma.
It is better to put up the screens
promptly and in such way that they
win stay put. than to buy lot of nedi-
cine and send for a doctor. Put no
trust in theory that the fly is only a
little fellow and can't do much harm
He is a common carrier of bacilh and
communication of contagion.-Hutch-

His creditors, mostly booze dealers and
