ROBBERY STILL a MYSTERY.
velvet Tray Containing Stolen Gems
Found in Wellington.

wellington, Kan, Nov. 30-The
mystery surrounding the robbery of
the Roser jewelry store here Of 81, 900
worth of diamonds two weeks ago,
was deepened when the velvet tray
containing the stolen Jewels at the
time of the robbery was found hidden
under some leaves at the A. H. Grit
fen home. The morning following the
robbery Mrs. Griffin recalls that she
was awakened by the sound of some
body walking in the yard She did
not glance out of the window, but the
next morning saw tracks under the
window made by woman's shoe.
The robbery has been one of the
most mystifying in the annals OF crime
in the state, as It followed closely on
two similar diamond robberies in this
CITY. One of the clues held by the
local authorities is that the robbers
left on a Santa Fe train The rob
berry was at $50 p. m and Mrs Grif-
fifth heard the footsteps in her yard
at about 8 a. m.

But of course Callahan won't be de-

name of Young was killed, and DR.. H.
H. Temple of Kansas City, Mo-, was
seriously wounded by Robert N. Mace,
who, a short time thereafter was ad-
Judged insane by a jury in the probate
court of Ellis county. 1t was learned
by an investigation made by the coun-
ty attorney and sheriff that Mace was
a much married man, an hab1tual user
of intOxfcantS and a deSerter from the
coast artillery, Fort McHenry, Nd, for
whom a reward of $50 was offered All
these facts were sent to the hospital
authorities at Topeka A short time
since tie Superintendent informed the
county attorney that Mace had so far
recovered, that he would be released
The county attorney imm ediately in
formed the superintendent that the
sheriff would come to Topeka for the
purpose of rearreSting Mace When
Sheriff Brown reached Topeka on Mon
dav of this we he was informed that
Mace had escaped from the hospital on
the night of November 19. 1t is the law
of the state, that when a person
charged with crime and if before trial

the asylum, when he is to be dis
charged, the county from which he IS
sent shall be notified and the party
may be brought back and placed upon
trial for the crime committed.

PLANS BETTER GRAIN.
AgrcuIturfst Would Have Corn Clan
Made Grain Dealers Association.

Made Gram Dealers ASSOCIATION.
Manhattan, Kan, Nov. SOW. NJ.
Jardine. head Of the agronomy depart
ment in the Kansas State Agricultural
college, has suggested in a letter sent
out to corn breeders that wheat, oats
and other grain should be represented
in the Kansas Corn Breeders associa-
ton, and the name changed to the
Kansas Grain Breeders association.
Professor Jardine's letter is as fol-
lows:
1.-THE sixth annual session of the Kan
sas Corn Breeders association will be
held December %, % and 80, at the ag-
ricubural college at Manhattan. This
terested in the production of larger
acre yields Of high grade corn should
participate. The association was Or
ganized by the farmers of this state to
promote the corn industry through the
production of pedigree varieties Of high
yielding power and high standard quail
ity. and to encourage interest in their
growing and distributing. The value Of
such an organization has already been
demonstrated, not only in this state but
In other states also, as an instrument
through which such results can be OBJ
tanned.
Nearly every corn grower in Kan
sas is more or less interested. also, or
should be, in other grain crops. Kan
sas, in addition to its producing 154 mil
imately 81 million bushels Of wheat,
20 million bushels of oats, and many
million bushels Of other miscellaneous
grain crops. 1t has been sufficiently
demonstrated that grain crops Of vart-
GUS kinds are adapted to Kansas con-
ditions, but they all need improvement.
"If the Corn Breeders association has
been instrumental in purifying the corn
varieties and bringing larger yields,
would it not be possible to extend its
- 4rzn INII 10
all the grain crops Of Kansas, especial
ly wheat? Have you ever thought
about this? Could 1t not also be made
equally effective to produce better
wheat, oats, barley, etc, without les
sening its value as a corn organiza-
ton?
In a way, the Corn Breeders asso-
ciation-which conducts a corn show
is affiliated with the National Corn
show, in that only such samples as have
been passed upon and approved by the
state organization are eligible to entry
at the National Corn show. Would 1t
not be desirable, therefore, to include
| in the Kansas Corn Breeders associ-
alton such crops as wheat, oats, barley
and other small grain crops, and call
| Breeders association, or some similar
name?
Now ask every member of the Corn
| Breeders association as well as other
farmers interested III gram pEOOuCtlOH'
| to consider this matter. As many as
possible should attend the sixth annual
meeting at the agricultural college next
month. The agronomy department
would be glad to hear from any interest
ed persons regarding the question. The
Kansas Corn Breeders association con-
sidered it at it's last meeting. The grain
growers of Kansas should organize
themselves into an association standing
for the promotion of all grain crops.
| Let US perfect such an organization be-
fore the beginning of another year."

Ottawan Will Use Aer0plane In.
stead of Parachute.
Thinks Plan Will Be Safer and
More Spectacular.
WILLMAKE TRIAL SOON
Feature May Take Place of
Ordinary Balloon Ascension.
Other Items of General Interest
to Kansas Readers.

Ottawa Kan, Nov 30-Cutting
loose from a balloon at the height of
1000 feet, Prof Lowell Blaine of OF
tawa expects to make the descent to
earth in a Curtiss model glider in
stead of a parachute and thus intro
duce into aviation a daring feature
that has never before been attempted.
He expects to begin work on the
aeroplane soon, his brother who has
the model and plans for the machine
coming up from Chanute to help him
conStruc. it.
THE feature of the coming county
fairs and Fourth of July celebrations
will not be the balloon ascension and
parachute leap" Blaine declared. 1T
will be the plane leap. and will be
much more spectacular and safer.
AN objection to the present sys-
tenn is the hazard confronting the aer-
onaut in the event of the parachute's
failure to OPEN"
Mr.. Blaine has in his possession the
Glen Curtiss plan of glider construc-
ton. The plan was secured by a broth
er of Blaine's at Chanute, and is out
lined in detail by the famous bird
man.
Work will begin at once on the
| Blaine glider and the experiment of
hitching it to a gas bag will be tried
as soon as possible.
With his father, James G. Blaine,
Prof. Blaine will leave soon to join
the remainder of the family at their
| new home in San Diego, Cal He in
tends, however. to make his prelim-
| mary tests in Ottawa.
IF the balloon-hoisted plan does
not work, I can experiment by jump
| ing off the California Cliffs Blaine re-
marked hopefully. 81 am positive,
however. that it will be a success, and
| the trial from an altitude of several
thousand feet will be more convincing
than jumping off the Chippewa Hills"

WHITE SLAYER is DEPoRTED.
Beniamino Branco Has International
Reputation for Human Traffic

Reputation for Human Traffic.
Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 30.-The
evidence of the strength of the cru
SADIE against white slavery and white
slavers which is being carried on by
the federal officials was seen at the
federal penitentiary when officials
from the immigration bureau at New
York met Beniamino Branco, who
had served three years for human
traffic and arrested him. He will be
taken to New York and deported as
an undesirable alien.
Branco is well known in this coun-
try and in Europe. He is said to have
been engaged in the business before
coming here. He conducted his bust
ness in Paris, and other European
cities
After visit to Denver he returned
to Italy and married a girl noted for
beauty. Then he brought her to Can
ada and sold her in Quebec. Under a
different name, he returned to Italy
and secured another girl whom he
brought to Canada.
After disposing of her, in company
with his first wife he went to Spokane,
Wash. The appearance of the couple
created so much attention that Branco
took his wife to Denver and sold her
there. Her testimony convicted him.

To Remove Dust
From the Hair
From the New York Examiner.l

(From the New York Examiner.)
Don't drench your head with water
every time your hair is dusty says
Clarfbel Montague, the beauty expert
'"Too much moisture causes the hair
to become dead and dull.
when you want a perfect couture,
Just take a quick dry shampoo. Mix
4 ounces of therox with ounces of
orris root and you will have a supply
of dry shampoo powder sufficient for
all summer.
''Sift the powder lightly and evenly
through the hair. Brush it out thor
oughly-and it takes with it every par
ticle of dust and dirt. Therox imme-
diately gives the hair a rich and glossy
lustre. This mixture vitaIizes the fol-
licles, and (if used regularity long
and abundant hair will be the result"
