TO SPREAD DOCTRINE
OF Democracy as Rehabilitated at
New York Conference.

New York, Sept. 15.-The organiz-
ers of the recent Saratoga Democratic
conference are arranging to extend
the movement started there into 9TH
er states. in hope that similar move
ments elsewhere will help to rehabi-
litate the national Democratic party.
The hope was expressed at Saratoga
that the movement would spread
throughout the United States and re-
suit in an able renewal of Democratic
principles. It was pointed out that
the party needed all its. resources for
the coming congressional election.
To further this national movement
the executive committee of the New
York state Democratic ieague which
was organized at Saratoga, will ar
range at a meeting next week for a
system of correspondence with Demo-
cratic leaders in the various states to
urge that they undertake the same
sort of disinterested earnest propa-
ganda as that resulting in the Sarato-
ga conference. The main object in
view is to harmonic and encourage
all kinds of Democrats to get together
on a broad platform and work to-
gether for the purpose of securing a
Democratic majority in the next house
of representatives

The chapel was beautifully deco

Iulloch castle was gay with the
American, Austrian and Portuguese
Hags-- The arch at the end of the
avenue bore the words in English:
Long live the happiness to the

BAD FOR RADFORD.
His Secretary Charges He Made False
Reports.

Kansas City, Sept 15.-That he had
been instructed by John w. Radford,
former state grain Inspector of Kan
sas, to make false reports to the au-
ditors' office so as to cover discrep-
ancies was the testimony of A1ermon
D. Crotts at the preliminary hearing
of Radford, who is charged with mis-
appropriation of the states funds.
Crotts, who is awaiting a hearing
on a similar charge, was formerly
Radford's chief clerk.
He also admitted on the stand to-
day that he had taken money for his
own use without the knowledge of
Radford. He was still on the stand
when court adjourned for the day.
The states case is being conducted
by Attorney General Fred s. Jackson
in Kansas City, Kan.
Crotts testified that it always was
intended by both Radford and himself
that all shortages in remittances to
the following month. This was usual
thought that on some occasions they
had failed to make the shortage good.
Crotts testified that Radford asked
him what condition the books We're in
at the close of Radfords term. When
the books were being examined and it
was known that the discrepancy was
bound to be found, Crotts said, Rad
ford gave him money to leave town.

howl after they had heard the cir
cumstances. The grandstand was
open during the entire day but it was
necessary to pay general admission
out of town and from the city who
came only for the races had many
ugly things to say about the manage
ment. The treasurer of the fair
association said this morning that the
association took the names of all
those they could and will give them
free entrance today. They did not
think of the rain check proposition
and no one was given return slips
1t was claimed by some that grand
stand tickets We're SOLD but the man
agement claims that the stand was
open free for all during the whole
time and the turn tables were not re-
moved.
Although Buffalo Bills wils West
show vas a counter attraction the
races this afternoon drew a good
crowd to the fair grounds. On ac-
count of the fact the weather cleared
off in fine shape there was also a good
attendance from the rural districts.
Aside from the races other forms OF
amusement have been arranged at the
fair. This afternoon at O'Clock
balloon race took place, the contestants
being MoEtz BoZarth, who has had ~
years experience in the art of air soar
irg, and Frank r. Casin. who was en-
ployed at ono :ine by the United States
this evening another ascension viii
take place when fireworks will be set
eff from the balloons. The balloons
will ascend at the same hours tomor-
row. This afternoon a free Roman
chariot race and a relay race took
place.

Tomorrow is Topeka day and a large
crowd is expected.
During the judging today, the swine
department was highly spoken of by
the interested oll-lookers. Taking l. as
a whole it probably surpasses any 9TH
er department among the live stock
exhibits. George Berry, in charge of
the swine and sheep. says that no 9TH
er show of hogs held this season in
Kansas equals it in number of exhib-
displays. The show of Berkshires Is
distinctly Kansas exhibit. and Kan
sans are proud of Kansas bred Eerk-
shires. This state is the home OF
many Of the greatest hogs OF this breed,
famous wherever hogs are raised
A large delegation of breeders of
Poland Ctinas from Missouri and Ne
braska, as well as Kansas, contested
for honors.
No less than five breeds of sheep are
on exhibition. 1t is said that this dis
play is the finest shown in Topeka.
There has been q general awakening in
the sheep industry ard it is claimed
that there are now five times as many
hocks in the state as there were ten
years ago. Mr.. Doty of Illinois, is one
of the biggest exhibitors in this de-
partment.

ATMOSPHERE IS DRY.
Astronomer Says Mars Must Get
Along without Moisture

San Jose, CAL, Sept. '15.-People on
the planet Mars, if any live there,
breath an atmosphere which is al
most destitute of moisture
This is the conclusion of Director
w. w. Campbell of Lick observatory,
who has just returned from making
observations from the summit of
Mount Whitney, the highest point in
the United States.
He says:
"Our moon has an appreciab1e at
mosphere. The Lunar and Maritan
spectra will be affected alike by the
water vapor in the earth's at
mosphere. In photographing con-
ditions, # the vapor bands in the
Maritan spectrum are found to be
stronger than in the Lunar spectrum,
Mars has water vapor in considerable
quantities. If the bands in the. two
spectra are equally strong water
vapor on Mars does not exist in
sufficient quantities to be detected by
the spectro-scopic method
t'The latter condition was found to
exist.
"These observations do not prove
that life does not or can not exist on
Mars. The question of life under
these conditions is a biologists prob
lem rather than the astronomers

BREAKS OUT AFRESH.
New Strike at McKees Rocks Car
Works Today.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. ia new strike
was inaugurated at the Pressed Steel
Car works at McKees Rocks today by
three thousand foreigners who refuse
to work unless the bosses and sub
bosses of the plant were discharged.
The strike, it is stated is not organ
lied, but it caused much excitement in
and about Schoenville. There was no
demonstration aside from the foreign
ers assembling about the gates.
Most of the American workmen
went to work as usual, but later sew
eral hundred of them quit work. The
absence of the foreigners, they said,
necessitated their coming out. The
main grievance, it is said, is the en-
ployment of a large number of men,
imported during the late strike, in

CHANGING THEIR CROPS.
Coburn Notes That Kansas Farmers
Are Shifting From Wheat to Corn.

F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, gave out the fol-
lowing statement regarding the shift
of the Kansas farmer from wheat to
corn:
''The agricultural statistics of KAN
sas for the past year reveal some in
teresting facts as to changes of crops
and their acreages planted in the diff
ferent counties. AS examples there is
a net increase in corn of 659,212 acres
and eighty-six counties planted more
corn than in the preceding year, while
eighty counties sowed less wheat
There was an aggregate decrease of
5O8.617 acres in the wheat sowing
The shifting from wheat to corn in
some of what have been regarded as
especially wheat counties is very no.
ticeable. Sumner, for instance, famed
heretofore as being either first or sec
ond in wheat diminished its sowing by
$4,000 acres, and now occupies but
seventh place, while increasing her
corn planting more than $4,000 acres,
and as a corn county occupies third
place instead of eighth.
Barton county, with 261,00S acres,
remains first in wheat. an increase of
4,700 acres. but adds to her corn
1,020 acres; Rush, with 214,904 acres,
is second in wheat, and Pawnee third.
While Reno with 1e1,8o0 acres of
wheat is fourth in that respect, many
will be surprised to know that no
other Kansas county plants So much
corn, or 203, ,289 acres.
after Reno the next counties in
big corn acreage are Jewell, Sumner,
Smith, Nemaha and Sedg-
wick in the order named. These are
pretty evenly divided as to the north
ern and southern portions of the state,
but are all, except Smith, in the east
ern half.
"In corn area-100, 900 acres or
six big counties in the west
ern half of the state are Smith, Nor
ton, Phillips, Graham, Decatur and
Osborne, as named, and these, except |
ing Graham and Osborne, are in the
extreme northern tire

duchess Maria Theresa.
The prince was clad in Maltese
uniform, a brilliant scarlet court
dress heavily decorated with gold.
The ceremony was witnessed only
by relatives of the bride and groom
and their immediate friends.
These include the Duke and
Duchess of Braganza, the groom 3
father and stepmother; Mrs Smith,
mother of the bride; Princess Adel-
gonde of Bourbon, Countess Torring,
Count Sigray, Count Czeckon1co,
Judge and Mrs. James Gerard. Mr.
and Mrs. Bradley Martin.
At the conclusion of the wedding
ceremony the register was signed. The
Witnesses for the bride were Miss
Drexel and Rhinelander Stewart. AS
the wedding party drove away the
band of the Highlanders played in turn
the 'sStar Spangled Banner" and the
national anthem of Austria. A MEM
ber of the Braganza family declared
that the statement that Prince Miguel
had renounced his claim to the throne
of Portugal was erroneous. He ex-
planned that under the Portuguese law
tehre was no such thing as morgan
tic marriage. The only thing neces-
sary to 1egalize a marriage with
member of the Braganzia family is the
consent of the head of the house of
Braganza and the bride be a Roman
Catholic.

The men claim one of the agree
ments by which the last trouble was
settled was that all of the imported
men should be discharged.

complished in the mill. Instead the
workmen gathered in a body and lis
