AUTUMN ON THE FARM
By WALTER HARPER.

The years labor is about done. There is nothing left but to finish gathering in the rich harvests of corn and pump kins and caring for them during the win ter. The cattle have been housed, the corn Is in the crib the hay is in the loft the pumpkins have been mellowed by the frost and are ready for the barn.
 The farmer and his sorfs are ready for tho nice breathing spell that the chang ing season promises. They come troop ing into the house; leave their muddy boots In the back hall and gather about the wide open fireplace that has been freshly whitewashed and laid with crack ling logs of oak.
 The girls put on their fresh, clean frocks and are ready for the corn husk- ings and the dance that follows.
 When the rain ceases father and the boys shoulder their guns, call the dogs and are off to the melancholy woods for a days hunt. They are free from care. There are no rents to pay. no gas and water meters working while they play. The product of their years toll is In the barn or in the bank, draw ing interest, and the pumpkin is gain ing mellowness every. day it Is left in the field The pigs for the winters kill ing are gaining pounds of fresh bacon, juicy hams and succulent chitterlings, while the farmer barons tramp at will through the .smal' woods.
 The touch of frost in the air Is elixir to their blood and bone. The gold and crimson that are being dusted on the rustling leaves by the artistic brush of Nature are an inspiration. The voice of the wind is music indescribable. Far away on the hills the falling of the browning nuts makes fine accompani- ment to the clear murmur of the brooks that find their sinuous way among the reeds and grasses where the sleek cat tie come down to drink.
 To the farmer and his sons the woods are. full of light and glory. The deep blue of the sky is a prophecy of plenty and peace. The clouds that mellow the quietude of the woods are full of the sweet suggestion of the comfort and cheer that awaits them at home.
 These are not sad days on the modern farm, and amidst, the freedom of Nature.

A local physician of humorous frame of mind, calculates that a complete artificial man might be constructed nowadays for about f120. A pair of arms with "articulated" hands would cost f35, a pair of articulated legs would run" to about f2S, pair of ears for f2S, eyes for f6, and set of teeth for f12. But when you had made your complete artificial man. accord ing to this scale he would be simply artificial. You couldn't construct a father, nor a genius, nor even good bricklayer for f120, and, of course, it would take great deal more money than that to really make" a political agitator, he says.

INSANITY INCREASES

Huge Labor War Threatens

FRENCH POLICE JOKE
Emperor and Crown Prince Would Rather Watch Girls Make "Flap Jacks" Than See Army
 Maneuyers
By MALCOLM CLARKE

Berlin, November 6.-(Special) )-The re- port that insanity had been increasing in the army has not surprised anybody liv- ing here. One cannot well imagine a more dreary career than that of a Ger man soldier. The men are treated worse than if they were animals, indeed, an army horse has much easier time than a private. As for the officers, they have little else to do but strut around and re- spond to salutes. And they appear to be constantly appalled, by their sense of their importance. Within month three of them killed themselves. The army is irreligfous among other things.

The reason for Prince Henry of Prus- sia's visit to King George of England. was to consult concerning the itinerary for the forthcoming visit of the German Crown Prince to India. The Crown Prince is to be given royal honors throughout India
 Courtiers hint that the Emperor or dered the trip with a view of making the Prince take a serious view of his posi- ton. When complaint was made that the imperial heir did not understand his business, he said he was not at fault since his father seldom ever allowed him to take a hand in imperial affairs. The Princes brother will soon begin u voy- age in South American waters.

The Crown Princess, who has just cele- brated her twenty-fourth birthday has made her influence very much felt at the German court, and is popular among the people. She has decidedly advanced ideas on public questions. and these are said to have perturbed the Kaiser good deal. The princess however, is housewife quite after the excellent German pattern, and Is devoted to her children.

REVENGE AT LAST
After Years of Waiting City
Obtains Claim.
John Richie, Paving COntrac-
tor "Stuck" for $1,000.
NO COURTS FOR THIS.
Entire Deal Is Engineered in
Topeka City Hall.
Mr.. Richie Denies That He
Owes City Money.
NO COURTS FOR THIS.

If you owe the city of Topeka any
money, you would better steer clear of
any contracts with them, say the COM
missioners.
John Richie. paving contractor,
didn't get chance to heed this moral
and he serves, thereby, as living ex-
ample of its effect.
1t happened this way according to
the commissioner of finance, Mr.. Bone:
number of years ago Contractor
Richie dug some sewers for the city.
This sewer was called No. &c. 1t was
charged by the city officials after Mr.
Richie had finished the sewer that he
had Overcharged in the construction of
the drain to an amount of $1S,7OS.76.
The city brought suit against Con-
tractor Richie in the district court of
Shawnee county but to date the suit
has been far from settlement.
Now we are up to date.
Exit the court case.
Enter the city.
This morning the city commission
ers with the light of victory in their
eyes and feeling of satisfaction in
their bodies, passed resolution which
deprived Contractor Richie of almost
81. 900.
The resolution provided that the
final estimate for payment of the
R1tchie paving contract-$7,9 13.39-
should be held up and turned into the
city treasury. In addition to this blow
IAlO ClIy commissioners p0n6I1Z0Q MT.
Richie $4,000 for not fulfilling the
time section of the paving contract.
This made total of almost 81, 900.
The city went further in their rap at
the contractor this morning.
They charged that he has been in
no hurry to have the sewer case tried"
Then they added to this by a final
knockout blow-"he has endeavored as
much as possible to delay the case and
has been successful in doing so.'
-,
tractor Richie was attached to the res
olutions-it was prepared by City At
torney Ralston and F. G. Dreaming, ex-
city attorney The original resolution
was prepared by Roy L. Bone, city COM
missioner of finance who has been
to find some means of obtaining money
to run the city through the month of
| December.
'Will this Richie money do it?" Mr..
Bone was asked.
81 think it WILL" answered Mr.. Bone
and he produced a smile that told of
partially refunded deficits, less trouble
| with city finances and good times.
The city legal force believe that this
holdup against the contractor will hold
good in the courts.
Mr.. Richie, it is said, will take the
whole proceedings to court in an effort
to regain the money for his paving. But
the city isn't worrying because they
have tried for many months and years
to get a settlement.
A keep-your- open for money
bunch-these new city commissioners!
Doesn't Owe City, Says Richie.
81 don't owe the city a cent" said
John Richie this afternoon. And fur
tnermore would like to say that I have
always been willing to have that case
tried"
What about the sewer case?'' he was
asked.
ct haven't anything more to say
now came back the answer from the

ROOT JUICE SCIENTIST
MAY COME HERE
Many Local People Are
Sending Him Invitations
to Come.

There are many people here that
are very much interested in the great
Misunderstanding discovery that seems
to have made SO many remarkable
cures in and around Springfield, Ill.
Consequently many people are writing
to the scientist and inviting him to
come to this point and start a demon
stration. Where there is SO much
smoke there must be some fire." and
as so many people of Springfield and
other points are SO enthusiastic in
praising the Root Juice remedy it GER
tainly must be a remarkable health
producing agent. Scores of those who
have used the remedy claim that it
soon removes all soreness from the
stomach and bowels, and so strength
ems the liver and kidneys that good d.
gestion and secretion is certain. Then
such troubles as catarrh of the stom-
ach and bowels, Indigestion, constipa-
ton, rheumatism, various kidney COM
plants and most of the troubles COM
mon to women cease to exist as the
cause is removed Scores of people
who were cured by the great remedy
are SO thankful that they are publish
ing 1t to the world. 1t is hoped the
scientist can be induced to arrange
with one of the local druggists 10
demonstrate his great remedy to the
people of this point, If he can not
come in person.

OILS, chairman of the Democratic legis-

ment saying 1.-The executive committee
of the Democratic party of Ohio claims
the reelection of Judson Harmon as
governor of the state by the largest ma
jority given a Democratic candidate for

Republican party.
I'VE believe his majority will be so
heavy that there can be no doubt Of the
election of the whole Democrat state
ticket.
I'VE claim that the legislature will be
safely Democratic on joint ballot.
THE election of IA Democrat con-
gresSmen seems well assured
The Republican state committee will
issue statement late today which will
say that the Republican state ticket
will be elected by a substantial major
ity and that the legislature will be Re
publican. The claim will also be made

cation will be increased.

SAY IT IS FALSE.
Democrats Deny Charges About Send
ing Liquor Into State.

The Democratic state committee to-
day through their secretary. w. H.
Pepperill, in an open letter denounce
as false the charge that they had any
thing to do with the car load beer
shipments to Crawford county. In his
letter, Mr.. Pepperill, says:
This is an infamous falsehood.
Neither the state committee or the
local committee of Crawford county
have had any part in the shipment of
beer into Crawford county, and I de-
nounce this statement from Dolley as
started at this time to injure our state
and local candidates.
1.-The facts are that beer has been
regularly shipped into Crawford coun-
ty in car load lots since Stubs be-
came governor, and the recent alleged
shipment was not out of the ordinary.
The local Democratic committee of
Crawford county informs the state
committees of these facts. They also
offer a reward of $4,000 to Dolley or
anyone else who will prove that either
the state or local committee had any
knowledge of or in any way were con-
cerned in the shipment of beer to
Crawford county. This effort on the
part of Governor Stubs, Chairman
DoIIey, and others to scatter this libel
over Kansas ought to cause every hon
est voter to resent it at the polls next
Tuesday"

HODGES IS HERE.
Democratic Candidate Will Speak at
Auditorium Tonight.

Senator George Hodges of Olathe,
Democratic candidate for governor,
spent an hour in Topeka today While
on his way to Wakarusa, where he
the great gathering of the faithful at
the Auditorium tonight. Speaking OF
the campaign he has made, and his
chances for success next Tuesday, SEN
ator Hodges said:
Everywhere I have been in the state
I have found our supporters in the
most hopeful frame of mind and work
ing early and late for the ticket. To
me the signs indicate a Democratic
landslide for support is promised from
all sorts of sources. A number of in
surgents have promised their support
on the theory that the Democrats this
year stand for every reform Governor
Stubs is advocating and they believe
these reforms can be more quickly ac-
complished through a thoroughly or
ganized party than through the efforts
of Governor Stubs and his followers.
THE Democracy of the state is
lined up as 1t never has been in the
history of the party In Kansas and on
November will cast practically a
solid vote for the party nominees. The
detection which has been advertised
by the Republicans does not exist and
if they are pinning their hope to any
such condition, would hate even to
hazard a guess as to what cur ma
jority will be.
Governor Stubs will not get one
Democratic vote this year where he
received five two years ago. They can
not be won by such utterances as those
made by Governor Stubs early in the
campaign at st. Marys, when he said:
"A dishonest Republican is almost as
bad as a Democrat Nor will they
support a man who admits that he col
Iected a slush fund to defeat Judge
Dale, the Democratic nominee for gov

WHAT Ais IOWA?
Population Has Decreased 1882 in
Past Ten Years.

Washington, Nov. 5.-The population
of the state of Iowa is 1924, III, accord
ing to the enumeration in the thirteenth
census made public today. This is a
decrease of 1852, or 0.3 per cent under
2.311 ,S53 in 1900. The increase from 1890
to 1900 was 319,572 or 1871 per cent.
The decrease in the population of
Iowa did not surprise the census bu-
reau as it was in line with what was
expected in the agricultural regions of
the middle west. Director Durand al
tributes the falling off to the fact that
the land is already fully occupied and
a general tendency toward larger farms.
