County Superintendents Convention
Postponed Till November.

State Superintendent of Public In
struction E. T. Fairchf1d, has issued
a circular to all of the county super
intendents of the state informing
them that the state conference of
county superintendent which was to
have been held in August will be
postponed this year until Wednesday,
November 3, a day before the meet
ing of the State Teachers association.
Mr.. FairchiId changed the date
this year on account of the new date
of the teachers meeting and in
doubling up the conferences this
year more real good can be accom-
plished than if they were held
separately and still so close together.
In commenting upon the confer
ence of the county superintendent
superintendent Fairchild said:
During the present administra-
ton it has been the custom to hold a
conference of county superintendent
in the month of August. These meet
ings have proved most valuable, and
have had the hearty and enthusiastic
support of all county superintendent
who have attended. More real good
has been accomplished in one of these
meetings by reason of the fact that
they are by, of and for the county
more of the departmental meetings
for superintendent at the state asso-
citation could possibly afford.
Every new uperintendent should
be~present because of7the opportunity
to learn what others are doing Every
old uperintendent should be present
not because of the opportunity to
gather new inspiration and added
knowledge, but because of the ser
vice he can render to those who are
just taking up the work. What a
glorious thing it would be if every
one of the 105 county superintendentsI
could be present at this meeting"

BREAKS OUT AFRESH.
Commission Men Row Results in At

As a sequel to the Oklahoma water
melon trouble, two wagon loads of ap-
pies hauled in from Perry Were at
tached this morning.
The apples were brought in by Davis
and McGerty, the growers. with or
chards north of Perry. Coming into
North Topeka they stopped at the pro-
duce house of E. r. Hayes at 524-526
North Kansas avenue and asked an Of
fer There were about 100 bushels of
them and Hayes offered 70 cents a
bushel.
Davis and McGerty thereupon pro-
nOunced the apples sold but drove
across the river to have them weighed.
While south of the river buyer for
Whiteker Brothers approached and
learning what the apples had sold for
offered more and the apples Were
hauled to his warehouse.
Meanwhile Hayes had been taking
orders for his new apples and looked
for them to come back but he waited
d long time in vain. Immediately he
suspected he had 7 cen beaten out of his
purchase and set out to trace his ap-
pies. He found them being rolled into
Whiteker's bins. He says he began on
first thought to start a rough house"
then decided to do it another way
Whiteker claimed he bought the apples
fair enough and any recourse would
have to be through the law but to save

the apple growers busy as long as pos

NO FRIENDS THERE
James Bergen, Refined Appear
ing Stranger, Dies in Hospital.
Was Found Delirious in North
Topeka Yard.
RELATIVES UNKNOWN.
Attempt to Locate His Mother
Fails.
Body May BE Buried in the Pot
ters' Field.
RELATIVES UNKNOWN.

| Meeting death alone in a strange
city, with no living friend to care for
| him in his dying hours, with no money
in his pockets, and delirtous from an
actue attack of diabetic coma, was the
cruel fate meted out to James Bergen,
a handsome and attractive looking
young man who died in Christ's hos
pital last night.
Not a thing is known of the young
| mans history. Where he came from
and how he happened to be in Topeka
known. The remains which now lie
| in ConwelPs undertaking establish
ment may never be claimed by rela-
tives, and may be inferred in a pau
per's grave at the expense of the
county.
The unfortunate young man was
found Wednesday afternoon lying in
a yard at 925 West Gordon street,
| and DR.. Guy Justis of the Provident
association was called and he was re-
| moved to Christ's hospital. The young
man was suffering and between his
spells of deliriun, said that he hadn't
eaten anything for three days.
At the hospital his condition grew
more serious; he became unconscious
and it was evident from the first that
he could not survive the night. Death
came before midnight and ended his
suffering.
The young man was unable to give
much information about himself. Oc-
casionally he would say something in
wandering sort of manner, showing
that his suffering was intense. Once
he said that his mother lived in
Springfield, Mo-, to another he said
his name was David Bergen. and that
he lived in Springfield, I'LL, having left
his home about seven months ago.
telegram was sent this morning to
Springfield, Mo, but no one could be
found with that name and the message
was returned undelivered. Another
was sent to Springfield, ILL.,, and from
this no reply has been received.
Bergen once gave his age as %
years, and said that he had been en-
ployed in a smelter. 1t was evident
from his general appearance that he
had come from a we'll to do family.
He was exceptionally intelligent look
ing. with high forehead, which gave
evidence of more than usual culture
and refinement. He was dark haired.
and his complexion was unusually
clear. His face showed no signs of
dissipation. He was not we'll dressed,
however, and this showed that he had
been having hard times.
/ The remains will be kept at Con-
wells WhiIer- the officers make an eff
fort to locate some of the young mans
relatives. Unless they are located the
remains Will likely be inferred at the
county'S expense.
