MISSOURI FOR FOLK.
Former Governor to Be Urged for
Presidential Nomination.

st. Louis. Oct 20.-Active campaign
ing in behalf of the presidential candi-
dacy of Joseph W. Folk. former gov
ernor of Missouri. has begun. and it is
practically certain that the Missouri
delegation to the next Democratic ma
Etional convention will carry Folk in
Structions.
Missouri Democrats are free to con-
fess that they are sick at heart over
The fact that Democratic Missouri is
represented at Washington by one Re
publican and one Democratic United
States senator. and that the state gov
eminent at Jefferson City is in Repub-
ican control. Upon a harmony basis
it is now clear that the old factionaf
fighting has been abandoned within
party lines and that former Governor
Folk will be made Missouri's presiden-
tial candidate in 1912
Practically all of the influential lead
ers in Democratic politics are now COM
mitted to the Folk candidacy, it appears
from close study of the situation here,
in Kansas City, and, as reported, from
over the state Coincident with the
strong movement which has been ini-
tiated in behalf of the graft fighter, it
is strongly believed that David r.
Francis, president of the st. Louis
Worlds fair and secretary of the inter-
ior in Grover Clevelands cabinet, will
have no opposition whatever within
Democratic ranks for the United States
senatorship to succeed Senator William
Warner, the Republican senator from
Missouri

AHEAD OF THE TAXES.
No Levies Made in Three Reno COun-
ty School Districts.

Hutchinson, Oct. 20.-Three school
districts in Reno county will not col
lect a dollar for school purposes in
taxes this year for the reason that no
levies were made for school purposes
in those districts. This is not due to
any mistake or miscalculation, but
because treasures in these three dis
tricts have enough funds on hand
without a levy being necessary this
year. These districts are No. so,
southeast of Haven, No. 100, north
west of Haven, and No. 104, southeast
OF Partridge.
Another district, No %, in Clay
township, three miles east of Hutch
inson, made only one one-hundredth
of a mill levy, which is about the
same as none at all. Two other dis
tricts which made small levies, five
one-hundredths of a mill, are No. IA,
northeast of Nickerson, and No. 43,
northeast of Abbyville.
The largest school levy in the coun-
ty this year is that in Union district,
No. 5, comprising several school dis
tricts in Medford township, which
merged together and recently built a
new school house. This district has
a bond levy of .16 mill, and total
levy of 81 mill for school purposes.
The school levy of the city of Hutch
inson comes next in size, ABS mill.
Nickerson comes third, with a levy of
1865 mill.

BROTHER VS.. BROTHER.
The Two Tafts Engage in a Game OF
Golf on Ranch Links.

Gregory, Tex, Oct. 2O-President
Taft is enjoying his brief experience
as ranchman and the solitude that
comes of being three miles away from
the nearest settlement He slept late
this morning and then went out on
the golf links for a game with his
brother, Charles P. Taft
The fact that Secretary of War
Dickinson and Captain Archie w. Butt
bagged SO ducks yesterday, has not yet
tempted the president to shoulder a
gun and go to the fresh water tanks
secretary Dickinson is crack shot
and is credited with majority of yes
terday's bag.
This afternoon the entire presfden-
tai party set out for Rincon, eight
miles away, to witness a round up of
sheep and cattle, the branding of some
mavericks and roping contest among
the cowboys.
Secretary Dickinson and Captain
Butt started out again at O'Clock for
second try at the ducks.

WHO OWNS THE DOG?
Ex-President Roosevelt May Be Called
Upon to Decide.

New York. Oct. 20.-Former Presi-
dent Roosevelt may be called in to de-
termine the ownership of a collie dog
which is in dispute in local police
court.
DR.. D. H. Mackie declares that the
animal was stolen from MIN rev
weeks ago. and when he saw William
McMullen with it, he grabbed the
brute and called a policeman. McMul-
len said that the dog was from the
kennels of Douglas Robinson, brother
in-law of the ex-president. and that
Colonel Roosevelt knew the animal so
we'll that he would be able to identify
it. The case in court was adjourned
until the identity of the animal could
be determined.

COUNTS LOVE LETTERS.
Those Written to Mrs. John b. Stetson
Made Public.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-The love letters OF
a count-the epistles that Mrs. William
F. Ernest is said to have written 70
Mrs. John B. Stetson of Philadelphia
for Count Santa Eulalia in his court
ship-haVe been made public. AS an
example of the letters that Mrs. Stetson
was won by. the following, written 10
her ostensibly by Count Eulalia, is
given:
December 25, 1907-My Dear Friend:
All my past life is book which always
is opened for you if you have the de-
sire to read it. We artists read the
soul and the heart in the outlines OF
the Individual and your good heart
speaks to me without the help of any
of our friends.
1 know you because for me you rep
resent the refinement, the modesty and
at the same time 1 can see in you the
noble ambition to serve humanity.
They say a man is as young as he
feels, and a woman as young as she
looks. Consequently we are of the
same age, as my studies make my head
and heart older than yours and your
black hair and active life viii keep you
always young. I pass my days very
agreeably with my lady friends, but
your letters always make me desire a
home. Yours. ever devoted Alexis
Mrs. Ernest's claims have found sup
port in an unexpected quarter, for Ger
mano Courage, formerly the CONNER
cial agent for the Portuguese govern
ment, says that many of the letters
that Mrs. Ernest wrote for the count,
among them that just quoted, were
copied by the count in Courrege's office
before being sent to Mrs. Stetson, now
the Countess Eulalia. Mrs. Ernest is
suing for money to pay for writing tho
love letters. The present Countess
Eulalia was the widow of John B. Stet-
son. the millionaire hat manufacturer.

TAFT JUST LOAFS.
President Declares He Is Having the
Time of His Life.

Gregory, Texas, Oct 20.-President
Taft began his three days of doing as
he pleased on his brothers ranch by
playing eighteen holes of golf over a
muddy course and by "just loafing'
through the afternoon and evening.
Mr.. Taft was as happy as a boy out of
school, The idea of eating dinner
without having to speak for it and of
going the livelong day without having
to make a speech appealed to him
strongly and he declared he wished
his far southern vacation could last a
week and three days, instead of just
the latter period.
While the president was golfing and
resting the members of his party en-
joyed themselves in various ways.
The president will probably go in
bathing in the bay each remaining
morning of his stay, as both weather
and water are warm.
Ranch hands out hunting killed two
wild cats, two wild boars and a rae
coon. All were presented to the presi-
dent. The president will have a ten
mile run to the Rincon section of the
ranch to see small roundup of cattle
and sheep and some exhibitions of COW
punching. He will be presented with
a big and comfortable saddle made
especially for him.
He has been given a possum, which
was caught in a church at Arkansas
Pass by Tom Martin.
The president banished his assistant
secretaries from La Quinta and gives
no thought to public business in any
way. He roamed about the grounds
adjoining the house, walked out on the
long pier leading into the bay to watch
clared he was having the time of his
life.

FRIENDS OF INDIANS.
Annual Meeting of the Lake Mohonl
Conference Is Opened.

Mohonk Lake, N. Y. Oct. 2o.-Albert
K. Smiley opened the twenty-seventh
annual meeting of the Lake Mohonk
conference of friends of the Indian and
other dependent people today with
reference to the changed attitude of the
American people towards the Indians
during the 80 years since he became an
Indian commissioner The Indian
problem, DR.. Smiley said, is nearing a
solution, and he hoped to live long
enough to see it entirely removed from
discussion, the Indians having in truth
been a part and parcel of the body
lo,itic, the Indians being treated as men
and not as wards of the nation.
Vice President Sherman was named
as chairman of the business committee
of the conference. Ellsworth Brown
was chosen president. DR.. Brown in
accepting the office of president, made
a brief address on the work being done
by the department of education among
the Alaskan Indians.
r. G. Valentine. United States COM
missioner of Indian affairs, made his
first speech in his new office and then
introduced nine officials in the Indian
service, who told of their individual line
OF service.

WICHITA EXPERIMENT
Will Lay Sample Block of Grub.
beroid'' Pavement.

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 20.-Wichita is
to have a new kind of pavement; one
that has not been in use long. but one
that the city commissioners believe
will prove to give excellent satisfac-
ton. 1t is called "Rubberoid," and
like the bftulithic pavement it is
spread in one body on concrete base.
'Rubberoid'' differs from the
bitulithic only in the fact that asphalt
is used to bind the broken rock in
place instead of coal tar.
BY the action of the city commits
sioners yesterday afternoon the city
clerk was directed to advertise for
bids on pavement of that kind, to be
spread on First street between Main
street and Market street, a distance of
one block This street, with the ex-
ception of strip In the center, once
used as a street car track, was paved
with asphalt, but this pavement is so
badly worn that has been found
necessary to resurface it. and the
commissioners have decided to have
this kind of material used If the cost
is not excessive.
Samples of this new material have
been received at the Office of the city
engineer and tested, and 1t is be-
lieved by the department that it will
make q good pavement.
