So much Of current reading is NEARLY
entertaining at best that the question
naturally arises, Is it worth while
Your sons and daughters are bound to
reade something. They hunger for sto-
ries which take them into the other half
Of the world--the world Of adventure,
Of valor, OF fortune making. The problem
is to give them such reading without
putting into their hands the literature
that is either silly or demoralizing. The
editors of The Youths Companion be-
leave that periodical can be made
entertaining and yet ''worth while,
and The Companion is conducted on
that theory. Aud that is one reason
why more then half a million American
families read it. The paper is safe, but
not dull. Its tales Of adventure illustrate
the advantages OF fortitude and self-re
lance. Its stories OF character lay stress
on the truth that righ. conduct is never
mistake.

LOWMAN COMPLAINS.
People Petition Street Car Company
for Better Service.

Whereas. Your car service on the
Lowman car line, west of Tenth ave
nue and Clay street. is crippled and
unsat atisfactory on account of continual
delay and waiting, of the outgoing car
at Tenth and Clay. and. whereas. such
trouble can be very much relieved and
remedied by the location and con-
struction of a turnout or wye, at or
near a point central between Tenth
and Clay and the end of the Lowman
line: therefore, we, the undersigned
residents Of the city and your patrons
of the LoWman car line. do most earn
estly petition and ask that you Will
put in such a turnout or wye on the
Lowman car line and thus improve the
service of such line and mutually help
US as well as yourselves"
The above is an exact reproduction
of a petition that was handed to the
Topeka Street Railway company today
The people out in the district men
toned stated to a State Journal re-
porter this morning that they had
waited in the snow. wind rain and
cold enough for "snail-cars'' and they
did not propose to stand II any longer
if they could possibly persuade the
street railway to remedy the defect
The street railway has not taken
any action on the matter. They were
not aware of the fact that the service
was supposed to be poor in this part OF
the city and stated that they have al
ways tried to accommodate the people
and this matter would soon be settled

Miners Vote to Throw Sources of
Quarrels Out at Window.

Indianapolis. Ind Feb 4--The dis
pute between Thomas L. Lewis, preSi-
dent of the United Mine Workers and
John H Walker, president OF the IL
1inois district. was thrown out of the
convention today after having divid-
ed the delegates into camps striving
against each other. giving rise to
charges of corruption and betrayal
of the organization into hands of mine
owners and dragging the convention
into third week. at an extra ex-
pense of nearly $50. 200 to the national
union.
w W. White, president of the Iowa
district made a motion to forbid all
future discussion of charges and coun-
ter charges ''to throw them all out of
the window and clamp down the lid
on the convention This was offered
as a substitute TO a motion that q
committee of seven be appointed to
investigate allegations that certain
Ohio officials had sold out" to mine
operators The substitute was heart
lily welcomed and adopted
The most difficult question with
which the convention is to deal is the
comparative authority of the national
administration and the district auth
critics The officers OF Indiana and
the Pfttsbure districts declare that q
greater degree of home rule must be
granted by Interpretation or amend
meut of the constitution. If the min

MOTT IS THE MAN.
He says He Inspired the Land Fraud
Investigation

St Louis, Mo-, Feb. An. o. Mott, at
torney for the Greek nation, asserted here
today that the land fraud investigation in
Oklahoma was instituted as the result of
evidence which he gathered in connection
with civil suits for the recovery of lands
alleged to have been fraudulenIly OBJ
tanned from the Indians, whom he repre-
sents-
The interest of the government in the
present prosecutions is simply that Of a
trustee" said Mr. Mott, who with Chief
Moty Tiger OF the Creeks was in ST. Louis
on his way to Washington
There is no truth in the report ctrcU-
lated by Governor Haskell or his friends
that William R. Hearst inspired the suits.
I was the man who inspired the prosecu-
tions and from the first 1 have been the
most active in forwarding them
I'm an open letter to Governor Haskell
last fail charged him with the very
frauds for which he is now indicted He
denied my charges and wrote to Presi-
dent Roosevelt that I had based my as
sertions upon the sworn statement of 500
mics in his transactions These state
meuts were gathered in y civil suits
which 1 had instituted on behalf OF the
Creek Indians to recover lands from
which they had been defraudsd-
.'Tweuty-six of these suits were started
before statehood was cOnSummated and
before Haskell was q candidate for gov
ernOr- As they were based upon the
same allegations of fraud as the criminal
proceedings I can not see how Haskell
correctly can allege that they were IN
spired by Hearst or that there is any
politics in them
