The first of the high school lecture

when DR.. Edward A. Steiner of the
State college of Iowa. Grinnen. Ia.
the Man-His Message DIR. Steiner
made a profound impression upon
those present at the meeting of the
Kansas State Teachers association
during the early part Of November
when he made a remarkable address,,
Night" in connection with the Topeka
Ad club he convulsed his hearers with
laughter with his wit and humor.
Prof. Steiner was born in Austria.
was educated in the best European
schools, and took the degree of Phi.
D. at Heidelberg. He came to this
country as steerage passenger and
has come to the front in the educa-
tional world in remarkable way. He
is a personal friend of Tolstoi, hav-
ing made several visits to his home
In his closing remarks when refer
ring to conditions of the people to-
day, DR.. Steiner said: I'VE have
changed everything but our hearts.
We haven't grown in moral percep-
tons. One man knew it. He breathed
it into the hearts of few people,
and they are the only thoughts that
can change men and can bring them
in closer harmony with one another
'.Tolstoi once said to me, Young
man you can't make this world better
than you are yourself
People come from all parts of the
world to see Tolstoi," said the speak
er. They go to Russia and visit Mos
COW and other places, and think that
they must do Tolstoi, but he won't
be done
When he greets you, you know
that you have hold of the hand of q
| man who cares for you. His very life
goes right through you.
Countess To1stoi,' said DIR. Stein
er, in telling Of visit to the ToIstoi
home, wore a black dress, becoming
because it was not the latest fashion.
She looked wrinkled-she doesn't
know what to do for wrinkles.
| (Laughter.). She hasn't succeeded
well in making herself appear what

esting manner the simple life which
| Tostoi the thinker and reformer lives.

SERIOUS CHARGE.
Made Against j. C. Harding for Cruelty
to Animals.

Humane Officer KiIma1rs King was
notified of a case of cruelty to animals
this morning by a police officer. The
charge was made against J. c. Hard
ing, the sewing machine and phono-
graph man at 1873 Kansas avenue. The
complaint sworn out by King recites
that Harding had inserted a grab hook
in the ear Of little white dog and had
suspended him from the ceiling of his
show window to amuse and attract the
public.
Hundreds of people stopped and
watched the contortions of the poor lit
tie canine but turned away with but
murmur. Women held their breath but
did not complain to the officials. The
dog is a famous character in Topeka
but after the terrible ordeal failed to
recognize his masters voice.
In the face of the objection of the
police department and the Humane so
ciety Harding still permits the terrier
to hang suspended for brief periods.
Every person in Topeka should pass the
window at Harding's and voice their
sentiments about such treatment

MEN TORN TO SHREDS.
Believed to Have Been Blown Up by
Explosives They Carried.

Tulsa, Okla, Dec. 16.-Torn to
shreds by some high explosive,
probably dynamite, the bodies of two
unidentified men were found on the
bank of the Arkansas river, near
here, last night.
The appearance of the mems
clothing together with the fact that
the Tulsa banks have a large supply
of money on hand, led the authorities
to believe that the men were bank
robbers. It is thought that the men
may have been killed by the ac-
cidental explosion of dynamite they
carried with them to blow bank safes.
The men may have been members of
