The most attractive buds of many
seasons will add their highly decora-
tive touch to society in Topeka this
winter. Some of the girls are still
doing a little more or less desultory
work at Washburn, and many of them
will keep Up their study of music and
the languages, but their regular school
days are over and they may be con-
is no talk of debutante teas or other
coming out functions and perhaps
none of them will make a formal bow
to society. Among the daughters of
prominent families who are out of
school for the first time this season
are Miss Marguerite Mills, daughter
of Mr.. w. w. Mills, and Miss Helen
Estey, daughter of DR.. and Mrs. s. S.

Miss La We're Langdon, daughter of

ated from Washburn last June. Then
there is Miss Ann Troutman, the Sec
ond daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James
A. Troutman, who has been studying
piano and voice at Washburn, Miss
Marie Lagerstrom, daughter of Mr..
Elizabeth Holiday, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles K. Holiday, Miss
Esther Rodgers, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. 4 K Rodgers, and Miss Mary
Gleed, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ].
Willis Gleed, whose studies this win
ter are limited to music which she is
taking at Washburn. A number of other
girls who were formerly identified with
this set are still in school and will not
be out for year or two. Miss Grace
Koontz, the clever and attractive
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. R. Koontz,
is taking a pedagogic history course at

AT THE JONES FUNERAL.
Rev. Young's Eloquent Discourse
Before Crowd of 1000 People.

+ "When we think of heroic deeds we
almost always turn to the soldier"
said Rev. Thos. S. Young in paying a
tribute to the brave young fireman
who lost his life while on the post OF
duty on the occasion of the fire last
Thursday at the Otto Kuehne Pre-
serving and Picking works, land yet
not less heroic is the fire fighter In
his duty Harry Jones was faithful and
COURAGEOUS and he met his death in
the performance of his duty.
ut is a soldiers business to fight
and destroy but the fireman always
thinks of saving lives 1t is not how
much property can be wiped out OF
existence but how many lives and
how much property can be saved. 1t
is a rule among the firemen that life
must be saved first; then property.
Those whose thoughts are upon life
saving whether they will 1t or not
have sky meditationS.
There is no human quality better
than faithfulness. Blessed is the man
who is faithful in his position. This
young man stood on the ladder with
the hose in his hand when the walls
from this and other heroic acts. What
is demanded of US is that when duty
calls we will be faithful as was this
young man."
That the people or Topeka aomlre
brave action was evinced by the fact
that over two thousand people turned
out for the funeral ceremonies at the
Auditorium, Notwithstanding that
Harry Jones was but an obscure boy
who came to Topeka but three years
ago.
The floral offerings were many and
attractive, among the contributors
being Otto Kuehne. the Topeka fire
department Topeka street railway
employees and the fremen of the
Santa Fe shops.
One of the pathetic features of the
death of young Jones was the fact
that arrangements had been made
for his marriage in the course of
few months and his sweetheart who
attended the ceremonies was almost
heart broken. The young hero was
a member of the First Baptist church
and had made himself extremely
popular among. his associates both In
church circles and among his fellow
fire fighters.
The funeral was in charge of the
hremen who attended in a body The
members of the city council were out

which was held here. They decided that
the Minneapolis millers are trying to
work out a department ruling on the
new tariff bill to the detriment of the
rnillers of the southwest. They say the
Minneapolis millers think they can get
an advantage if they can get the secre-
tary of the treasury to frame a reduc-
ton which will permit them to mix
flour made from Canadian wheat and
flour made from Kansas wheat and ex-
port it under the drawback provision.
The millers decided to hold a meet
ing in Newton on October %, at which
time all of the congressman of Kansas
and the two senators will be requested
to be present to consult concerning the
matter. A similar meeting will be held
about the same time in Oklahoma when
the matter will be placed before the
congressional delegation from that
state. .a.-
The southwestern millers believe they
have found a clause in the law which
will stop the practice of the Mime
apolis millers and this will be presented
to the congressional delegations.

PREFERRED TO WAIT.
Country Banker Thought He Could
Get Guaranty Certificate Easier.

Bank Commissioner Do1ley has is
sued a statement to the effect that 800
state banks have been issued certifi-
Gates emitting them to the advantages
of the bank guaranty law An inves-
tigation of the state treaSurer'S rec
ords show that only III banks in the
state have contributed their good
faith" fund and PSI have put up their
assessment. From this report it looks
as though 129 banks in the state have
received their certificates without reg
istering their faith bonds and 40 have
received their certificates without put
ting up an assessment.
All of these figures would be true if
the statement by the bank commits
sioner is specific rather than in
round numbers" The law says that
the certificates shall not be issued I'M
less each bank deposits their faith

until now suspected of being the same
one The facts of the case as have been
brought are as follows: w. W. Plumb,
a colored man riding on the crowded
car, rang the car down at Clay think
ing he was on a Tenth street car See
ing that the car was going on to Low
man Hill he decided to stay on to tho
next block Buchanan street. ~
When he asked the conductor to stop
there, that official of the car line up-
braided him, telling him he had stopped
once and did not intend to stop again
until he got good and ready. Then
Plumb resolved to ride to the end of the
line and back but the car stopped at
Morris street and the conductor told
the negro to get off-five or six blocks
past his street. This was recifed to
the county attorneys assistant by the
conductor himself who is no longer an
employe of the car company.
Plumb refused to get off. The con-
ductor attempted to put him off and a
disturbance was the result for which
Plumb was fined s. in police court.
Unable to get him off the conductor
called to Motorman Seal to help him.
when Seal got to the rear of the car
Jenkins was holding to both sides of
the door. blocking his way. Told to
move, he refused and Seal struck him
with a switch lever
The blow seems to have been too
light to break the sim hat on which IL
fell and the wielder OF the club was
discharged.

Comment in this department few
days ago on the case of young man
accused of a postoffice robbery is an
illustration of how easy it is for a
newspaper reporter, who necessarily
writes in haste to repent at leisure, to
make mistakes. The writer referred
to the young man as the former pro-
tege of the U and club and the U and
club doesn't like it, because, in the
words of the president, Mrs. Frank
Merriam, while the club, in its long
service in philanthropical work in To-
peka, may have made mistakes, 1T has
made no failures and doesn't want to
be credited with one. "The U and I
club never had anything to do with
the young man mentioned" said Mrs.
Merriam, land the boy in whom we
are interested and who some misin-
formed person has confused with
somebody in the postoff1ce robbery
case, is making encouraging progress
and promises to-repay our efforts
handsomely
Reporters make so many unavoid-
able and innocent mistakes it is no
wonder everyone hates them. And
vet, on the other hand, it ought to be
apparent that errors are not made ma
liciously and that they are more en-
barrassingr and annoying to the per-
son responsible for them than for any
one else. Even in this case the pun
has been made to fit, the
crime. Speaking of Battles" a mem
