known throughout the country as
"the sturdy old Scott from Iowa." was
in congress at the time of her birth
and has served the nation either there
or as a cabinet minister ever since.
Wilson was a little girl she
used to start the singing of
the hymns in Scotch Presbyterian
church in an Iowa village, and the
elders of the congregation prophesied
that she would one day be a great
singer. That little girl, now the bril-
liant and successful woman. has
made those words true.
Miss Wilson received her. early
training in New York. and her voice
was considered even then exceptional.
She often sang before President and
went abroad and studied with some
of the greatest masters on the con-
tinent; at the same time perfecting
herself in foreign languages. Re

Mrs. Andrew Carnegie at Skibo castle

COBURN AT HOME.
Met Many Former Kansans While i'm

Secretary F. D. Coburn. of the state
board OF agriculture. has returned from

out as a feature of his visit the meet
ing OF many ex-Kansans in places of
honor and profit instead of the beauties
and wonders of California.

Tor a port of entry for Los Angeles on
the coast-a 10 million dollar proposition
and these two former Kansans have
been given charge of this department
of the work on their respective papers.

San Francisco was George M. Munger.
we'll known in Kansas many years ago
in political circles and for his venture
In catalpa trees near Eureka.
Mr.. Munger has not changed in the
least He is now engaged in trying to
make eucalyptus forests grow on the bar
rem uplands of California and is as en-
thusiastic today over his project as he
ever was in Kansas when he wrestled
lem of trying to make water run up hill
Mr.. Munger will be remembered in con-
| nectfon with the Populist uprising as a
candidate for the nomination against Gov
ernor Leedy. He was defeated and this
in connection with the failure of his fruit
crops and his irrigation projects induced
him to leave Kansas. He is doing well in
California being threatened only with
eucalyptus disease.
Speaking of the Los Angeles fight for
port of entry on the coast calls to mind
the fact that Los Angeles is located about
fifteen miles from the Pacific, and for
years the city additions have been extend
ed toward the coast in order that the city
mighty have authority over section of
the water front. Eastern capitalists and
SPECTATORS have gObbIed up about all the
Pacific coast that is available for harbor
purposes. The Los Angeles campaign for
possession of a port of entry is regarded
as the most important now of all local
issues in connection with the future
outcome of the publicity campaign in this
matter conducted by the two former To-
peka newspaper boys will be noted with
interest by Topeka people.

GOLD MEDAL FOR PEARY
The Report on His Proofs Is Adopted
Unanimously.

Washington, Nov. 3..Commander
Robert E. Peary was today voted a
gold medal by the National Geogra-
phic society for having reached the
North pole The board of managers
of the society at a meeting today ac-
cepted unanimously the report of its
subcommittee of scientists, who had
examined the explorers records and
proofs and found them to be corro-
borative of his claim that he had
reached the pole.
The society adopted a resolution
that the question of whether or not
an explorer reached the pole prior to
1909 shall be referred to a subcommit-
tee of experts with authority to send
for papers or make such journeys as
may be necessary to inspect original
records. This indicates that the So
ciety proposes as soon as possible to
pass upon the records of DR.. Frede-
rick A. Cook.
OF far reaching Importance is the So
ciety's action in deciding to follow UP
vigorously the question of priority in
the discovery of the North Pole. The
scientists will spare no expense in Or
der that they may be convinced on this
point. DR.. Cook will be advised i'm
mediately of the societys action.

of managers we're Is men, all OF whom
are prominent in the scientific world
After the report of the subcommittee
was submitted. there was a debate last
ing more than two hours, but finally
the board voted unanimously to accept
the report of the three experts, who be-
lieved without any question Of doubt
that Commander Peary reached the
North Pole April 6. 1909.

SANTA FE Time CARD.
Planned for Better Service South and
West.

A new Santa Fe time card is being
made out by the operating and traffic
officials of the road in the office of
General Manager J. E. Hurley at the
those who are in attendance at this
semiannual conference are General
Manager Hurley; w. J. Black, traffic

Parker general superintendent western
lines; H. w. Sharp, general superin-
tendent western district eastern lines.
The conference lasted all morning
and is in session this afternoon and
evening. The large number of changes
contemplated has made the conference
hard nut to crack and 1t will be some
time before the schedules can be
definitely settled and recorded.
The main work of the meeting is to
give additional train service to Cali
fornia and Texas. On account Of the
it will be necessary to place another
limited train on the rails. This will
mean another set of equipment similar
to that of No. 8 and running at a
twelve hour interval with this train.
The service to Texas will be betterel
on account of the increased business
down that way. 1t was reported that
the Santa F'e would put on a new train
to compete with the Rock Island and
the Katy in the big government mail
contracts but the officials deny this re-
port. They state that the new train
similar to. No. II and with practically
the same equipment will be placed in
service for a relief to the congestion
felt on that line at this time
The usual branch line changes for bet
ter meeting points and quicker sched-
ules together with more accurate
schedules will be made. Nothing espe-
cially important will be made in this
service.
The big question is to make out q
satisfactory schedule for the big

1t has also been announced that on
trains No. 1 and 2, between Chicago
and Los Angeles. Nos. and g. between

rooms and smoking suites for anyone
who wishes to smoke.

MUST Be PATIENT
Mayor Green Predicts Work OF
New Commissioners.
Take Two Years to Get Every
thing in Working Order.
DECREASE IN TAXES
Present Improvements Will
Keep Up Old Levies for Time.
However, General Work Of New
Plan Will Be Satisfactory.
NODECREASE IN TAXES

Now that the commission form of
municipal government is a real thing in
Topeka a statement of the things that
the citizens of Topeka are to expect
might be appropriate and be we'll to pre-
pare the voters for the real emergencies
of the first few years of commission
control.
1t is a we'll known fact, as has been
stated number of times. that the first
two years of commission control will
not give the people of Topeka a chance
to witness lowering in taxes.
- The first set of commissioners to take
up their work in Topeka will enter Of
flee with about half of the city watch
ing their actions for a flaw. The other
half will watch them and wonder if
their campaign in favor of the reform
has been successful and up to advance
notices after all.
In speaking of the duties of the first
hoard of commissioners Mayor William
Green gave ont some figures this after
noon that will make the people think for
awhile before they have the nerve to
pray for a lowering in taxes.
No Tax Reduction at Once.
''The people of this city should not
expect reduction of the leYleS for
the first two years" said the mayor
this afternoon 'The commissioners
will be unable to make any budget for
the first fraction of their year as Off
Gals and after that they will have some
of the results of the present improve
ment policy to deal with
The mayor then mentioned a number
of expenses that are going to affect the
tax rolls under the rule of the commits
sioners. For instance the new fire sta
ton at a cost of about $4,000, the in
creased help, equipment, and proposed
salaries Of the firemen will amount to
another $4,000. The city prison needs
re1nodeling and repairing. A number OF
bridges in the city are dangerous and
1t is absolutely necessary that they BIZ
rebuilt. And the policy of the com
missioners should be to build bridges
out of the Improvement fund and not
to vote bonds. suggests the mayor.
1.-THE increased demands of the city
at this time will fall on the hands OF
the commissioners said Mayor Green

TEXAS STEERS RUN WILD
Keep the Police and Railroad Men
Busy.

A carload of Texas steers-those known
as the long-horned variety-stampeded the
streets of Topeka this morning and terror
reigned in portion of the residence dis
trlct until Detective Hutton and band
of Rock Island men succeeded in corralling
them and returning them to the cars.
1t all happened thus: the carload of
steers tipped over at the Rock Island wye
early today, and tweny-erx, the number
contained in the car escaped Two of them
run onto the bridge and were killed by
a railroad train, but the other twenty
four stampeded and ran wildly about the
streets.
Efforts to corral them were made i'm
mediately, but not before the herd had
become well scattered A group of Rock
Island men, astride of cow ponies were
sent out to round them up, and Detective
Hutton of the police department was
among them.
The stampeded steers were corralled be-
fore. any particular damage was done,
but in several instances pedestrians were
chased off the streets. and others stood
about afraid to leave their homes for fear
of the Infatuated animals.

DROPS OUT OF SIGHT.
Tunis Cunningham Disappears After
Fight With Companions.

Mystery surrounds the whereabouts
of Tunis Cunningham, aged IT, son
of T. B. Cunningham, ABB East 18th
street, who disappeared last night,
and about whom no information can
be obtained further than that he had
an alteration last night with two
employees of the Santa Fe auditors
office, Ed Morrison, and a young man
named Trescoe. The boys father ap-
pealed to the police this afternoon af-
young man at the home of all his
relatives who live here. Foul play is
suspected by the parent.
Young Cunningham had stood good
for a small bill which the other young
men had on the books of the Bat
man confectionery establishment. II
amounted to only a couple of dollars.
Morrison and Trescoe were paid the
amout due them yesterday, and young
Cunningham insisted that they 1iqui-
date their Indebtedness.
That was along after dark when
the trio met near the Santa Fe offices.
An alteration followed in an alley
way nearby. after which severely in
jured about the head the young man
went to the home of a sister, Mrs T.
A. Dana, 1909 jackson street. There
his wounds were dressed. Then he
,, left his sisters home ostensibly to
return to his own home, and has not
been seen since.
The young man had no money with
him, was exemplary in his habits, and
no reason for his disappearance can
be given by his father, who thinks
that this fact only strengthens the
theory of foul play.
Rolla Cunningham, a brother of the
lad who has so mysteriously disap-
peared went to the home of all rela-
tives in Topeka, and to such other
places as was thought his brother
might be, but no trace was found of
him. following which appeal was made
to the authorities.
