Chimes" Mr.. Parker continued. "It is
to be an exact duplicate of the one
used in the flights in Los Angeles and
will be shipped from Paris in thirty
days. The 50-horse power engine is
of chrome nickel steel, has seven
cylinders with direct attached propel-
lers. 1t is model of lightness and
strength. The engine alone is quoted
at $4,000. In starting, the machine
ran over plowed ground and bitches
two feet deep without Earring the
aviator or damaging the craft. This
was made possible by an ingenious sys-
tenn of springs of rubber bands.
There is no reason why I can not
build aeroplaneS as we'll as any con-
it. The first one may be made in Abb

when my new plant in Leavenworth

''I am of the opinion that the fed

permit the construction of airships

under restrictions" he said. 1.-THE ma
chimes can carry five hundred pounds
of explosives easily. A large city
could be destroyed in a night by such
a craft. The government will have
ample ground for regulating the con-
struction and operation of the deadly
machines.
''They ask $4,000 for the Paulhan

more than they ought to cost when

SURPRISES HUGHES.
Borah Tells Him New York Could Be
Lost in Idaho's Forest Reserve.

New York. Feb. limited States
Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho.
who made flying trip to New York
yesterday, left behind a long statement
giving some of his ideas on the cues
ton of conservation.
The west is just as thoroughly de-
voted to conservation as the east"
said the senator, but as we understand
1t, conservation means the use and the
development of our natural resources.
1t is waste pure and simple to tie UP
those resources Indefinitely
why one-third of our state is in the
forest reserve. Governor Hughes was
surprised some time ago when I told
him that we had a forest reserve in
Idaho in to which we could put the
whole of New York state and lose it,
On that land there are thousands of
dollars worth of lumber going to waste.
We want these reservations put under
such regulations as. will make them
serve the needs Of the living genera
ton of men.
Look how rapidly we were losing
possible settlers More than 10000
Americans will cross into Canada this
year, looking for homes. They will take
with them an average of 81, 900 apiece
Besides the loss of good thrifty farm
ers this means that 10 million dollars
of good American money is leaving the
country, all because the Canadians
have framed their land laws on a lib
era1 plan"

Fred r. Huntoon. candidate for COM

his theories on the children playground
proposition. Mr.. Huntoon is strongly
in favor of the establishment of play
grounds over the city and has signi-

ton if he is elected as commissioner.
The playground fever has taken To-

will eventually make the city the great

and raise children. Mr.. Huntoon prom
ises if elected to devote all his time
to city affairs.

Sour Stomach
Mi-o-na Puts the Stomach in
Fine Shape in Five Minutes.

If your stomach is continually kick
ing up a disturbance; you feel bloated
and distressed: if you belch gas and
sour food into the mouth, then you
need Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets give instant
relief, of course. but they do more; they
drive out the poisonous gases that
cause fermentation of food and thor
oughly clean, renovate and strengthen
the stomach SO that it can readily digest
food without artificial aid.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are guaran-
teed to cure indigestion, acute of
chronic, or money back. This means
that nervousness, dizziness and bill
iousness will disappear. Druggists eve
rywhere sell Mi-o-na for soc.

This is the list of candidates for
mayor and commissioners under the
commission form of government. Very
few names have been brought out dur
ing the last few days and it is thought
now in city political circles that there
will be no more names mentioned for
office unless a dark horse or so ap-
pears.
There is one situation in the city that
will blast the hopes of three candidates
unless some agreement is made to pre-
vent the Waterloo. From the First
ward there are four men for office.
Councilman Jordan, Councilman Fink,
M c. Holman and J. B. Billiard. The
first three men mentioned are running
for commissioners and the latter for
mayor.
hall, every one of the candidates will
be defeated unless the ranks are
thinned out before the primaries. The
First ward deserves a good representa-
tive on the commission because it rep
resents a good portion of the city and
it is contended that Candidates Jordan.
Holman and Billiard will all cut each
others political threats unless two of
them drop out and throw the support
to the other
1t was thought for some time that c.
E. Jordan had considerable support
from the First ward as well as his
stronghold on this side of the river.
With such popular men as the other
candidates running against him and
depending upon North Topeka for their
support the chances of Mr.. Jordan are
injured. This applies to the other men.
The race for mayor is getting fast
and furious. J. B. Billiard, one of the
big men of the North side, is the
latest to announce his candidacy.
The real fight is being put up by w. H.
Kemper. Mr.. Kemper worked a long
time before he announced himself as a
candidate 1t is said around the city
hall that he has about as strong a
backing as any man in the race and he
has worked up an organized support
that will make the fur fly election day.
There are at least twenty men and
women working every day for Kemper

DAGGER IN HEART
Queer Request of Noses Hartman
in His Will.
Daughter Says That Instruc-
lions Won't Be Followed.
CREMATE THE BODY.
Veteran Free LOyO Editor Died
Sunday in Los Angeles.
Was Once Sent to Prison From
Topeka.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-The request in the
will of Moses Hartman of Chicago, who
died Sunday in Los Angeles, Cal, that
his body be kept at least three days
after death and that a dagger should
then be driven through his heart to
prevent the possibility of his being
buried alive. will not be carried out.
IF father made any such request in
his will, I know nothing of it," said
his daughter, Lillian Hartman, yester-
day at her residence here. AT any
rate, I have telegraphed to Los An
geles to have the body embalmed and
will start for that city tonight"
"Will he be buried without a cof-
fin. as he requested ?". she was asked

desire to have his body return to its
original elements as soon as possible.
He believed in cremation and his will
was written long before cremation be-
came common"
"And the dagger?'
ooh, l am sure father had too much
regard for the feelings of others to
make such request
Hartman was a persistent advocate
of the abolition of institutional mar
riage, which, he commended, made
slaves of women.
He established a free thought paper
in Valley Falls, Kan, thirty years ago
and later published a paper along the
same INES IN IOpeka and chicago.
His fidelity to what he regarded as
the sacred right of free expression
caused him to be sent to the federal
penitentiary twice on conviction of
sending improper literature through
the mails. He was so years old.
Moses Hartman lived in Topeka for
many years. He edited a so-called
free love paper called Lucifer the
Light Bearer on East Fourth street.
His discussing of the relation of the
sexes drew down upon him the wrath
of the federal government and he was
arrested for sending improper matter
through the mails. He was tried in
Topeka before the late Judge c. G.
Foster found guilty and sentenced to
two years in the federal prison al
Leavenworth. Even then he was an
old man and he was pardoned before
he completed his full term, and re-
turned to Topeka While he was in
prison his daughter, Lillian, conducted
his paper.
Ten years ago Hartman moved to
Chicago, where for several years he
continued to publish Lucifer. Several
times here he was in trouble with the
federal authorities and he was once
sent to prison, but he did not COM
plete his term. Harman's free love
cult never gained much footho1d in
Topeka and he had few followers here.

what was going on inside among the
dancers.
