STUBS DIDN'T KNOW.
Sam Blythe Got His Information
without Governor Suspecting.

Until F. S. Bigelow, assistant editor
of the Saturday Evening Post, came to
Topeka today and called upon Cover
nor Stubs, the governor did not know
that the three page article in this
week issue, bearing upon the insurgent
executive was the result of the recent
visit here of Sam Blythe, the Washing
ton representative of the Saturday Ev-
ening Post.
Governor Stubs was discussing the
advance sheets of the Post, saying that
he was not aware that such an article
was to be printed, when someone asked
him If he didn't recall the visit here of
Blythe.
ITO be sure I do replied the gov
ernor, but what had that to do with
it, Blythe didn't tell me he was writ
ing anything
"Of course not" was the rejoiner,
but he asked you questions didn't
he?"
True, and they had a bearing on the
things in the story, but that didn't
make me think he had this in mind"
Bigelow is making a trip through the
western states visiting the different
correspondents of the Saturday Even
ing Post and incidentally calling upon
friends and acquaintance.

LOST HEIRS FOUND.
Missing Wife and Children of Late A.
E. Deering Found at Prescott.

The wife and children of Andrew E.
Deering, whose will was probated and
held up in the Shawnee probate court
week ago, have been found. Deerlng
had lived nine years or more with Mrs.
Sarah Jackson at 1923 North Van
Buren, street. He died old and feeble
the first week of November leaving all
his property and money-about $4,000
to Mrs. Jackson. She was named
executrix, but she is old and feeble
stead Frank Conwell was appointed
executor.
From Mrs. Jackson Judge w. F.
Schoch learned that somewhere Mr..
Deering had a wife and several chill
dren. The wife, said Mrs. Jackson,
had been insane and in a hospital.
Now comes l.. E. Cannon with a
very likely solution. Mr.. Carmen
lives at Trescott, Kansas. He was the
guardian appointed for the children of
Andrew E. Deeringer and Mrs. Anna
Deeringer when the latter was adj
judged insane in the Ottawa county
probate court April 20. 1896. She was
and still is confined in the Osawatomie
asylum, according to Mr.. Cannon, who
came to Topeka today.
His record bears the name written
"Derringer." He says it should be
''Deeringer,'' and claims that when the
husband and father deserted he sim
ply dropped the ending syllable from
his name. Andrew Deeringer, he says,
upon finding his wife in an unusual
state of mind one morning walked out
of the house never to return. The
woman was later found to be insane.
Five small children were left without
support or care. They were adopted
by former friends of the family and
scattered over the country.
The record of their present where
abouts as given by Mr.. Cannon fol-
lows: Mrs. Mary A. Vanbibber, 20,
Dalhart, Texas; Harry Deeringer, "a,
Beverly, Kansas; Roy Deeringer, FL,
Trescott; Mrs. Helen Chamberlain,
Beverly, Kansas. and Anna Deeringer,
who was adopted into a family named
Harris and taken to Missouri.
An attempt now will be made to
reach these children and inform them
of their fathers death and will. 1t is
reported that at the time Mrs. Deer
niger was adjudged insane she owned
an 80 acre farm in Ottawa county
worth $50 an acre.

HARMONY MEETING.
Marks Closing Hours of the New
Mexico Convention.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Nov. 16.-An un-
expected harmony meeting of the con-
stitutional convention resulted last
night from the session which consid-
cred the report of the committee on
apportionment.
The Democrats were so pleased with
the concessions made at their request
that they refused to turn in a minority
report Then several speakers on the
minority side arose and declared their
satisfaction with the constitution
formulated and pledged themselves to
work with the Republicans for its
adoption.
Democrat territorial central committee
took the lead in voting for the appor-
tionment. This concluded the work of
the convention except the adoption of
miscellaneous provisions and revisions
of the constitution.

X. U.-WASHBURN.
Teams Will Likely Practice Together
This Week.

Something quite new and almost SEN
sational in football circles is apt to hap
pen Friday night either in Topeka or
Lawrence. Washburn will either go to
McCook field to practice with K. U. or
Kansas will come to Washburn field to
practice with Washburn.
The idea has been harbored by both
Coach Stewart and Coach Kennedy.
Tentative arrangements are now under
way. The telephones have been busy
between the managers and likely the
model practice will be held.
The feature practice is considered in
the light of a great training for both
teams for Thanksgiving Day. Wash
burn meets the Aggies and Kansas
meets the Missouri Tigers. Those will
be the big games of the valley on
Turkey DAY and the real live opposi-
ton one team could give the other by
staging plays from their rivals would
be tremendous advantage.
Coach Stewart said, when asked of
the project: why, nothing definite
has been done yet. I have been think
ing of it, however, and so has Kennedy.
I telephoned him today but could not
get him. They said he had been trying
to get me. I believe it would be a good
thing and think we will have it either
here or in Lawrence

MRS. SWEET BETTER.
Recovered Slightly Today From Para
lytic Stroke of Monday.

Mrs. T. B. Sweet. who was stricken
with paralysis Monday at her home,
231 Topeka avenue. is slightly improv-
ed today. 1t is believed that there is
hopes for her recovery. Mrs. Sweet
showed some improvement over her
condition of the last two days and the
family is inclined to believe that she
will ultimately recover.
Several days will be required to de-
termine Just how serious the attack
will prove and the Woman's friends are
watching reports of her condition with
considerable anxiety.
Mrs. Sweet took an active part in the
white elephant campaign and was d
tireless worker in the effort to raise
the required $4,000. Her work in the
campaign, it is thought, overtaxed her
energy and brought on the stroke of
paralysis Monday. 1t is stated that
Mrs Sweet on several occasions refus-
ed to leave the work until the entire
funds were raised.

entered the ministry and has devoted
his life to preaching the gospel. Rev.
Mcdonald is a large, handsome man,
who possesses a strong personality.
For many years he was a prominent
character in western political life. AS
a lawyer he was unusually successful
in the trial of his cases. While serv-
ing in the capacity of superior judge
a number of important western cases
were tried in his court. Several of
these cases were carried to the SUI
preme court and McDonald's decisions
were sustained.
Now Mcdonald says he is through
with politics and will devote his life
to religious work. He will spend ten
days in Topeka and will be assisted in
the meetings by Rev. c. E. Foster,
pastor of the PentecostaI Mission.

THE IBSEN READING.
Madam Labadie Impressed Her Audi
ence at Grand Last Night.

when 1 give my readings, it is my
purpose to efface myself as much as
possible, and keep uppermost in the
minds of the audience the setting and
the characters of the play 1 present, y
said Madam Harriet Labadie, after
her reading of Ibsen's Hattie Gabler"
at the Grand Tuesday night.
Madam Labadie prefaced the read
ing of the play with her explanation
Of Ibsen's attitude in writing the work,
which she says is not a problem play,
and not the solution of a moral ques-
ton. but picture chosen from life and
given at its face value to the nearer
She described the scene in which the
play is performed and gave a brief
outline of the appearance OF the per-
sons concerned in the story
The leading character is a bride of
a few months returning with her hus-
band from a wedding journey to a
house lavishly furnished beyond the
means of the husband. who is an
archaeologist of Indifferent prospects.
The play has for its purpose the re-
vealing of the character of this wom-
an. who brings desolation to everyone
with whom she comes in close contact,
and who finally finding herself
trapped takes her own life.
Madam Labadie's Interpretation of
the hard, selfish bandon and wanton
cruelty of this character Is strikingly
true and her handling Of some of the
stronger scenes is almost uncanny- Her
movements on the stage are few but
impressive and the tones of her voice
change with the varying speakers. She
is an extremely good looking woman
of ma gnetic presence ard a voice OF
that penetrating, carrying quality, OF
which every tone is clearly audible.
She has made a deep study of Ibsen
and gives it as her opinion that he is a
moralist in the highest sense, not affiX-
ing a sermon to his plays but wash
] ing the central character to the fore.

ground, until it stands out with all its
beauty or hideousness, until, as in the
case of Hattie GabIer. the beholder is
SO repealed by the sight that he
loathes the evil in such q nature. The
unclotheo, unmasked character forces
itself on the consciousness like a nude
figure in an art gallery and demands
attention by the perfection of its delin-
cation, and his characters are taken
from the life about him and are such
as any know of but refuse to recognize
until they are touched by the hand of
this master Interpreter
Madam Labadie has accepted an en-
gagement with an English syndicate
and soon will enter on three years
tour OF the world

First Freight Cargo to Be Carried in

Over the sea from France, straight
as a line, a great dirigible airship waits

load of freight from foreign lands.
Strange as it may seem, the first at
tempt to carry freight in the air may
be cargo of chinaware from Haviland,
France, and consigned to Charles Nc
Clintock 815 Kansas avenue, Topeka.
This hurry order was given to ac
commodate the Thanksgiving trade.
Probably it would be we'll not to wait
for the dirigibIe as McClintock has a
