Wright made a bad landing, the tip
of one of his planes striking the sand

In starting Wright faced the west.

Too Much About willie.

John Lindenmeyer, 27 years old, II
Maspeth, Long Island, tried to end his
life Yesterday because, according to G
note he left, his life was made miser-
able bv reason of his having to listen
to tales of the wonders of a CHI a
named Willie. An ambulance surgeon
took him to a hospital, and later he
was arraigned before Magistrdt (
Joseph Fitch in the Flushing police
court. The magistrate sent him to the
Queens county Jail as he was out If
danger.
This is the note left by LindenmeS er,
explaining his act:

WAS AN ELGPEMENT.
Missouri Girl of is Made Judge
Schock Believe She was of Age.

A romantic elopement of Willis
Hinton and lima Scott, two young
things of Blue Springs, Mo-, safely
reached it's happy, tender climax in
the office of Probate Judge Schock in
the Shawnee court house. The timid
couple gave their ages as IS and IS
respectively. Nothing seemed to be
bearing at all heavily on the conscience
of either of the lovers and they Swore
to their ages so the good, kind judge
quickly granted their request. Yet
the judge can recall that the girl was
but a mite of thing and spoke in
childish simplicity, but that there was
anything irregular about the appli-
from grandfather came last night
Tell me-" her grandpapa wrote, :"
are the laws of your state so defective
that men can grab our babies right
run over into Kansas and marry
them?"
Ina Scott's father and mother are
dead, he wrote, and she has lived with
him ever since she was four years old.
She is but s. now, he added.
But the judge will have to answer
the fond old fathers question in the
affirmative. Kansas laws are so de-
fective-if it is a derect-that young
things can be married without wit
neSSeS to who they are and where they
come from and how old they are as is
required in Missouri. All that is re-
quired here is two witnesses to prove
that they have been married should
any one dispute it after 1T is accom-
plished.
Old Capt Defendorf first saw the
young people in Topeka. When he
arrived at the court house at 7:45 a.
m. he discovered a little girl sitting
on the cold granite steps with a
grown-up boy The girl was quite
small and her pretty white dress was
very short for a bride. But she was
happy and smiled between the shivers
of the early morning.
The would-be unified couple timid-
ly inquired of the captian-for he was
old and kindly looking-where it was
they could be married. He told them
to wait a little and the man of the
hour would come.
When Judge Schock came, the little
girl solemnly swore she was Is years
old and recited the little piece which
bound her to her man. Then they
scampered out. Now comes the letter
from grandfather who has evidently
been made acquainted with the SEN
sations of an easy marx

TRAINS ARE LATE.
And Traveller" Scores Railroads in
Letter to Railrad Commissioners.

An excellent bill of complaint and a
series of remedies were registered with
the state board of railroad commission

himself Traveller" evidently has had
a hard time and hes cores the railroads

ANTI-TOXIN FURNISHED FREE.
State Board of Health to Provide This
Remedy for Poor.

The Kansas state board of health
will furnish all the poor people in
Kansas with anti-toXin this winter
provided they are in need of it and
are not able to buy it. The ravages
of diphtheria over the state during
the cold weather can only be stopped
with a liberal use of the anti-toxin
and the board of health has decided
that it has funds enough to purchase
a supply for the poor people of the
state DR.. J. c. Crumbine. secretary
of the board of health. believes that
this is a very important move for the
board to take. He thinks that much
of the damage done by diphtheria is
due to the fact that poor people are
unable to afford the remedy.
Physicians over the state Will re-
port all such cases to the state board
of health and when the proper proof
is made the suffering families Will be
sent the anti-toxin at once.
At the meeting of the board last
evening it was also decided to use all
of the emergency health fund neces-
sary for the study and cure or IN
fantiIe paralysis plague which has
startled the physicians lately in Nor
ton and Decatur counties.
Advancement was also reached be-
tween the BARRIERS and the board lot

Norris L. Gage OF Ashtabula, Ohio,
and part Of the time of Topeka, and who
all the time, evinces a decided interest
in local civic affairs, has written in
favor of the new plan and has backed
up his argument with a check for ten
dollars to go towards defraying the ex-
penseS of a campaign of education TOT
the people Of Topeka in regard to what
the commission plan has done Ios
others and will do for Topeka.
He emphasizes the fact that divided
responsibility lie often the cause OF
grave mistakes being made in munich
pal affairs, and points to the obstruc-
ton of the Kansas river by short
bridges. pilings. etc, as an example OF
divided responsibility"
The following is the letter:

UP GOES PRICE.
Dairymen Decide Milk Shall Cost 81
Cents Quart Hereafter.

One more blow to the lads and las
sizes who have been contemplating
marriage and to the stern fathers who
work day and night to provide the
hungry family-the price of milk this
winter will be So cents a quart or a
cent higher than it has been this sum-
mer.
The dairymen met last night and de-
cided upon this raise. In the summer
time their cows spend the time out in
the pastures nibbling the grass and
eating ten cents worth of salt. In the
winter time they drain the old hay
NOV and eat up all the grass that
they did not get in the summer.
Thus the dairymen who paid high
state taxes on low hay land have de-
cided that it will cost them too much
money to -'dry feed their cattle this
winter and they must charge more for
their milk-and the poor downtrodden
consumer must bear the burdens.
In defense of the city ordinances
and the new sanitary paper milk bot
tie the dairymen say that this recent
action had nothing to do with the
price of milk.

NO MORE GRAY HAIR

1t is easier to preserve the color of the
hair than to restore it, although it is
possible to do both Our grandmothers
understood the secret. They made and
used a sage tea," and their dark, glossy
hair long after middle life was due to this
fact. Our mothers have gray hairs be-
fore they are fifty, but they are begin
ming to appreciate the wisdom of our
grandmothers in using ''sage tea for
their hair, and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the advan-
tage of the past in that it can get
ready to use preparation called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur. As a scalp tonic and
color restorer, this preparation is vastly
superior to the ordinary sage tea made
by our grandmothers, and it can be
