wAGERs ON KANSAS CORN.
Former Bank Commissioner Looks for
225, 100000 Bushel Crop.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 16.-Will
Kansas produce 225 million bushels of
corn this year? Captain w. S. Al
bright, former bank commissioner of
National Bank of Commerce, wagered
a new hat, this morning, that the corn
crop of the SunfiOWer state this year
would amount in the aggregate to 225
million bushels. The wager was made
with James T. Bradley, cashier of the
National Bank of Commerce and for
merly of Topeka.
Captain Albright spent last week in
Kansas riding freight trains. He rode
in the "caboose" and when the train
stopped at a siding to wait for a pas
senger train or at station to unload
freight, Captain Albright made a dash
for the corn fields. He went into the
middle of the fields and stripped down
the stocks of-corn- and made a close
examination of the ears. He has had
years of experience in this line and
knows corn and it's possibilities for
making a crop in the different stages
of it's growth.
Il believe my estimate of the crop
this year is conservative" Captain Al
bright said. Il went nearly to the
western line of the state and made
close examinations of the corn. 1t is
wonderful scene to look upon. The
rains of last week will do wonders for
the crop in the western part of the
state. Those rains will mature a big
part of the crop. That part of it is
assured, no matter If no more rain
comes this year.
Il estimate the aggregate yield at
a large figure because of the in
creased acreage. Much of the wheat
in central and eastern Kansas was
plowed when it was thought it could
not survive and the ground was plant
ed in corn. rode through miles and
miles of corn fields and they were like
young forests. The big wheat crop
is harvested and the corn crop need
offer no apologies to the wheat. Kan
sas has a very prosperous year
ahead"

MADE DADDY FORGIVE.
An EIoping Kansas Wife Released
When Child Cried.

Kansas City. Mo, Aug. 16.-The hus-
band OF a deserving wife gave up all
desire to see her punished because he
could not resist the pleadings of his
4-year-old girl. After taking care OF
his three little girls two weeks, Alfred
Wilson. depot master in Atchison. Kan,
went to Chief thinner in Kansas City,
Kan, yesterday and asked that his wife
be released from the workhouSe, where
she had been sent because she eloped
with William Gardener, who boarded in
her home in Atchison a month ago.
Every night since my wife was ar
rested, two weeks ago, have heard my
children crying and calling for their
mother" Wilson told Chief thinner.
Every night 1 have tried to resist
their pleading and allow their mother to
be punished for the wrong she has
done them, but last night when May,
my 4-year-o daughter, climbed upon
my lap and told me hiatt she would go
to Jail in her mothers place, my heart
changed. I decided to come to Kansas
City and use every possible effort to
have my wife released. Those children
need their mother
Chief thinner reviewed the story of
Mrs. Wilson's elopement, how she had
taken her three children with her and
told her husband that she was going
to Carthage, Mo-, to visit a brother;
how the following day Gardner also left
Atchison and went to Kansas City,

ON LA Toilette TRAIL.
Wisconsin Senator Has Fight of Life
ON Hands.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Among the
senatorial campaigns which are being
waged this year none is exciting more
interest in Washington than the one
in Wisconsin,, where Senator Robert
M. LaFollette is a candidate for re-
election. The senior senator from the
Badger state is without doubt the best
hated man in the senate from the
standpoint. of the Republican regu-
lars. 1t is doubtful if one member
of the old guard would regret the
substitution of a Democrat for the
former governor of Wisconsin, whom
they cordially dislike personally and
politically.
Among the insurgents. of course, it
is another story, and the desire of
the members of this branch of the
Republican party to see Senator La
Toilette elected to another six-year
term is SO keen that many of them
are planning to go to his assistance.
Reports which have reached WASH
ington indicate clearly that Senator
LaFollette is up against the contest of
his life. His political battles have al
ways been hard ones. but this year he
is deprived of many of the advan-
tages which marked his former CAM
paigns. In the first place, the senator
is confronted with a bitter factionaI
quarrel within the Republican party,
which means he will lose thousands of
votes. In the second place it is more
Ihan proDaDIe ne Will lose a cOnSid-
cradle portion of the Democratic sup
port he heretofore has commanded.
Perhaps the greatest handicap of ali
will be the active opposition of Senator
Stephenson, his colleague from Wis
consin. Senator Stephenson, believed
by many to be the richest man in the
senate, is known as a lavish spender
in political campaigns. It has been
estimated that his own reelection
little more than year ago cost him
far in excess of $780, He formerly
was stanch supporter of his COL
league and was quite as generous in
financing Senator LaFollette's cam
paign as he was in providing the
wlierewithal for his own. This yea.
however, the Stephenson wealth will be
placed at the disposal of LaFollette's
enemies, and If Senator Stephenson Is
as successful in opposing LaFollette as
he was in supporting him it will mean
that the senior senator will have u
months In the year at his disposal to
attack his fellow members in the
United States senate.
The principal candidates against
Senator LaFollette are Burt Williams
of Ashland. Democrat, and Samuel a.
Cook of Neenah. The primaries will
be held September 6, all parties voting
on the same day. For the first time in
many years the Democrats and Social
lists feel confident of victory. In the
past it has not been unusual for thou
sands of voters in these two parties to
vote for Senator LaFollette.

Berlin, Aug. 16.-As a result of the
fight between the German shipbuilders
and their employees, all the shipyards
of Germany except the government
works are now idle so far as new con-
struction is concerned. Shop owners
in many cases are now sending their
ships to England for necessary repairs.
The men demand an increase of 10 per
cent in wages and a fifty-five-ho
week. The shipbuilders maintain that
these demands are cloak to political
purposes and cannot be granted.
The total number of men now idle is
about $4,000.

is in Colorado and when notified of the
offer he laughed and told the office
here to decline the offer with thanks
as he would rather rest than make the
speeches.
