Jr.. for mer Senator. and Bob" Davis. the boss of Hudson county. control large percentage of the Democratic legisla- tors-elect. To win them away from he bosses Wilson will have to arouse public sentiment for his position In an effort to do that it is understood here today that he will take the stump personally and assail Smiths posi- ion.
 The New Jersey fight has already assumed national characteristics. Will son has been told by both Smith and Davis that at the end of two years he will be forced back to political ob- livlon. To this Wilsons has replied that he will see if he cannot force the two bosses out of the arena.
 Smith is today an avoVed candidate. Following his letter ofDlast night in which he accepted the invita- ion Of the blymen-e from his home county of Essex to run for the Senate he conferred with a number of friends. He refused to comment on report that if he can control he Essex and Hudson county delegates he will be given enough Republican votes to as- sure his election when the joint ses- sion meets

FAVOR BOND PROPOSAL.
Campaign of Education Winning Over
Shawnee Farmers.

1t is difficult to find a business man
in Topeka who is not strongly in favor
of the $50, 900 fair bond proposition, and
the campaign of education in the coun-
try districts is winning over the farm
ers to the same way of thinking.
A party which included Samuel E
Lux, Scott Hopkins, and Secretary H
L. Cook spoke at two country gather
ings Monday, one held at Silver Lake
where a party of politicians were as
mbled, and the other at the r. H
Town place, eleven miles west of To-
peka where a sale was in progress.
At the sale, Scott Hopkins said: You
all remember the fairs we had in the
eighties, and the crowds that were
brought to Topeka, and how your pro-
perty increased in value. The last fair
was the first big fair we have had
here in a number of years. 1t was a
success and showed that the people be-
hind it were in earnest when they said
they were going to have a better fair
IF we don't get the fair Hutchinson
WILL" said S. E. Lux, "as the people in
the short grass country are making a
hard fight for it. Shawnee county is
the only place and natural place fol-
such an institution
Here are the statements of some To-
pekans:
]. P. Davis: 81 think the bonds ought
to carry
David Bowie: I'VE ought to have in
tef6SL enough IN the city 10 NOlS LOT TIE
| bonds 1t should be matter of pride
in the city and county that everybody
| should push. 1 think this is the only
chance we have of getting a good state
| fair
Mrs. C. J. Evans: my idea is that
we should use the grounds for the fair
| for a woman's club house, and play
| ground for the children
| H. A. Heath: Il have visited fairs fol
| Is years and know of the value to the
! community and state. If any taxpayer
/ in Shawnee county could have seer
what 1 have of fairs and know what
| know of their value to the commun-
! ity and state, he would not only vote
/ for the bonds but get out and urge his
| friends to do the same"
| Ralph McEntire: 1T seems to me this
is one of the things that would be g
great success. 1 feel if the bond pro-
position fails it will be because the
| people do not realize the possibilities
! of great fair
D. o. Coe: Since it is proven thai
| Topeka can provide a good, clean
wholesome fair of some magnitude or
funds furnished by voluntary subscrip-
| lions, let us as voters and taxpayers OF
| Shawnee county make it permanent by
| taking advantage of our opportunity

HALLOWEEN FRANKS.
Topeka Youth Were Unusually Quiet
Last Night.

Monday nights Halloween pranks
resulted in less damage to property in
Topeka than any former celebration
of Elfn's night in the history of the
town. The police force was enlarged
for the occasion. but not an arrest was
made as a result of the evenings fes-
tivities.
1T was the quietest Halloween we
have ever had said Chief Morris
Jenkins, land do not think the dam
age to property was great. There We're
about 5000 police calls during the
night and all of the men We're on the
run, but usually they found some boy
ish FRANKS being played and no ar
rests were made
Even in the North end, where some
thing usually happens, the celebration
was almost overlooked. The bloody
trays of the day before may have had
quieting effect on noisy inhabitants;
but for some reason, at least, nothing
broke loose during the night.
Judge Urmy looked solemnly at the
police court docket this morning. May
belle Bridges was the only familiar
face in the court room. Maybelle's
troubles could not be attributed to too
much Halloween spirit.
This is the first time since I have
been police Judge" said Urmy, when
we haven't had a bunch of fellows on
the carpet who started something Hal
loween night. The boys certainly
must be reforming

FREIGHT RATES LOWER.
Shippers Are Better Of Than They
Were Ten Years Ago.

Chicago, Nov. Freight rates aver
age lower today than ten years ago ac-
cording to a statement made at the
rate hearing today by Stanley H. John
son, assistant freight traffic manager
of the Rock Island railroad. 1t is hoped
to conclude the hearing of evidence to-
night or tomorrow. Arguments are
scheduled to begin at Washington De-
cember IA and later the commission will
announce whether the rate advances
asked by the railroads are fair and rea-
Sonable.
Attorney Dickinson, of the Rock Is
land, repeating a query of Commission
er Lane, who yesterday asked Mr.. John
son why the roads had not increased
their rates prior to 1906 when they had
the opportunity to do so without in
reference, said there were two good
reasons:
In the first place. he declared, t'the
state railway commissions of Missouri
and Texas, were an obstacle. Secondly,
the railways were engaged in very ac-
tive competition at the time
Mr.. Johnson said the railroads were
better off in the matter of having full
legal rates than they were prior to the

DANDRUFF CAUSED BY A GERM
A New Discovery That Kills the Germ
and Prevents Badness.

Pretty nearly all the hair prepara-
tions for dandruff have some merit in
allaying itching of the scalp, and in
being a fairly good dressing for the
hair, but there is only one that recog-
nizes what causes dandruff falling
hair. and badness, and that destroys
the cause, a little germ-and that is
Newbro's Herpicide. This germ eats
its way into the scalp, it digs up the
scalp into little white scales. Unless
it is destroyed there's no permanent
stopping of falling hair and cure of
dandruff and badness. Newbro's Her
picide kills the germ. Destroy the
cause, you remove the effect" Sold by
