TAWNEY AGAIN APPEALS
Famous Hog Stealing Case in Supreme
Court Third Time.

The famous Tawney hog case from
Franklin county has been appealed to
the supreme court for the third time.
This case which involves the alleged
theft of three pigs worth So has been
tried in a justice of the peace court
once, in district court three times and
in supreme court twice. The costs run
into thousands of dollars.
In the month of May, 1907, B. F.
Matthias of Franklin county filed n
complaint in a justice OF the peace
court charging Bert Tawney of that
county with the theft of three pigs
valued at 50. The case was sent to the
district court, where after hard
fought trial Tawney was found guilty
and sentenced to the penitentiary for
from one to three years. Tawney took
an appeal to the supreme court and the
decision IL the lower court was re-
VerSed. The case was tried again in the
Franklin court and Tawney was again
found guilty and sentenced this time 10
prison for from one to five years.
Tawney again appealed to the SUI
preme court and the decision against
him was again reversed. The case went
back to Franklin county court for a
third trial.
Tawney tried to get a change of
venue, alleging that Judge Smart of
the Franklin county district court was
prejudiced AGAINST him and that 1t was
impossible to get a fair jury trial on
account Of public sentiment His mo-
ton for a change Of venue was denied
and he was found guilty for the third
time of stealing those three pigs. He
today appealed for the third time to
the supreme court.
It might be remarked in passing that
while the pigs were not worth going to
law over in the first instance, that at
this time the value of those three pork
ers just now is likely to pay all the
costs in the seven trials of the case in

AnOTneT
, fair proposition this noon when an
enthusiastic meeting of the Topeka Ad
club was held. H. L. Cook, the new
fair secretary. gave short address,
and John Blaine of Pawnee. Neb., a
brother of r. D. Blaine the real estate
man, who is said to be one of the
greatest swine breeders in the country,
was asked to speak briefly. w. E.
Rankin, president of the AID club, J.
W. Going, at the head of the Kansas
State Fair association, E. L. Copeland,
Frank P. MacLennan, Charles P.
Adams, George w. Crane and others
made remarks during the course of the
meeting.
''The main thing at present." said
Secretary Cook, lis to get together
sufficient funds to pay premiums and
is wonderful in her agricultural re-
sources, as you are all aware, and a
great fair is one of the best methods
by which a state and city can be adj
vertised.
I'm the territory tributary to To-
peka you have the greatest stock coun-
try in the world; there is nothing
like it.
Education is stimulated by a great
fair as it takes knowledge to produce
the best, whether it is corn or stock
or gasoline engine. The farmer
goes back home stimulated to produce
better crops, and raise better cattle.
"A fair is a wonderful thing to a
city and a state. People come for the
week, are well taken care of. and
when they leave the city it is with the
idea that it is a delightful spot, and
they talk the city to their friends.
Topeka certainly has the advan-
tage on account of its being the capi-
tai city and it's railroad facilities.
There is plenty of room to build up
district fairs and yet maintain a great
state fair.
sThe grounds are ideal They will
accommodate from $4,000 to $4,000
people with the greatest ease. 1 think
the people like to be in a crowd.
I think our prospects are very flatter-
ing
1--WE should get fine exhibits of stock;
fill up the agricultural building with
county displays; have good races and
fine band; and have day and night en-
tertainments. If we have these things
we ought to have great crowds"

gins Soon.

At the Commercial club today. In
the meeting in the state fair interests,
President J. W. Going of the Kansas
state Fair association announced the
appointment of the board of managers
he was instructed to name.
In these four men, together with the
president and secretary, the manage
ment of the state fair will be mainly
vested.
Mr.. Going named the following:
T. A. Borman.
Z. L. Copeland.
H. A. Auerbach.

With them will act J. w CONG
president; H. L. Cook, secretary.
The actual operation of the fair. OF
course, will be directly in the HANDS

In order to give the board of man
ayers time to map out more definite
program and to complete arrange
ments for the campaign for funds. II
was decided this afternoon not to be-
gin the formal campaign until next
Tuesday. when it was hoped that a
quick response will raise the money.
1t is the expectation that the stock
will be subscribed with the under
standing that it will earn per cent
dividend: this to be paid before any
money is expended on permanent i'm
provements.
Other state fairs make money. This
one should. The net profits of various

Letter In the aIvet keu.

There have been romances and ro-
mances. but the latest undoubtedly is
the romance Of keg of steel rivets.
The outcome Of this is being eagerly
awaited by $50 men employed at the
plant of an iron company at Con-
shohocken.
The key arrived at the plant yester-
day When the head was off the
workman was surprised to see on
top of the commonplace rivets an en-
velope addressed in a pretty, girlish
hand, ITO the one who opens this
key"
The ironworker called a comrade or

read, written on a dainty bit of pa
per, few sentences which asked the
finder to communicate with the writer.

about it and they in turn spread the

men wrote to the fair correspondent

others picture postcards Philadel-

which you could drive horse, are
famous. You can circle the town on

But the Montanan knew nothing
about Chester. He had only arrived
in Liverpool that afternoon. And as
soon as he finished his quai Mt dinner,
he said to the waiter in he quaint
Chester inn:
What is the best way for me to
anuse myself here for an hour or two
before bedtime?"
Well, sir said the waiter, it's a
fine evening, the moon is tull, and 7

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

When my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in a small place on the lower
exTemities and spread FOR two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part OF his leg to the knee.
Finally I got Cuticura Soap. Cuti-
cUra Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according 20 directions.

evening, before I put my boy to bed,

Increased Price of Elk Teeth

During the last five years the value
OF elk teeth has more than trebled,"
said western traveller at the Fred
eric, according to the st. Paul Dis
patch. I'm 1904 you could get any num-
per OF fine specimens in Idaho, Mon
tand, Washington and bordering states
for $3.50 apiece. Now you will pay
from $3.50 to SO, and they are hard
to get for even that. The Apache,
Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indi-
ans used to have dozens of them in
their possession and traded them for
trinkets. But the redskin got wise to
their value, and you can buy them
from a regular dealer cheaper now
than from the Indian The passing
Of the elk and the great demand made
by the members of the Elk lodge for
teeth for emblems have boosted the
price"
The traveller recited an incident of
an Oklahoman who bought robe COW
cred with elk teeth from a Wichita
Indian for 500. He cut off the teeth
and cleaned up $4,000 on the deal.

According to statistics of taxes,
while there were 94,123 billiard tables
in France in 1892, in 1906 there were
only 1920, whereas if the game were
holding it's own the number should
have increased as the children grew
to billiard playing age. The decadence
of the game, which has had famous
votaries, is ascribed to the success of
outdoor sports, and especially to the
intense and widespread interest now
taken in motoring-Vogue.
