were fired. Pillars of smoke from
these shot up through the mist to
serve as guides for the aeroplanists
LIE Blanc and Auburn both flew low,
using their compasses.
Barring an accident, La Blanc is
the sure winner of the contest for
the prize, which totals $4,000. His
record is considered perfect. He has
negotiated 421 miles through the

seconds. Auburn, his nearest COM

purses or cups.

Representative Fordney of
Michigan Comes in
for "HOt Shot"

Aberdeen, Wash, Aug. 16.-Rep-

tine address to read the riot act to
Representative Fordney of Michigan.
one of the Canaan regulars, who is
in Aberdeen looking after his large
timber land interests.
Since coming here Fordney has
taken occasion to criticise Poindex-
ter's course in congress.
Poindexter, after telling how the
insurgents supported and the stand
patters opposed many of the meas
ures promised in the republican ma
tional platform and advocated by
President Taft, declared that the
record made by them entities the
progressives to be called "republi-
cans" and reactionaries to be call

Representative Fordney spent nearly
an entire day in congress trying to
defeat an appropriation urged by
President Taft to enable that COM
mission to do its work.
yet Fordney is considered by the
standpatters to be perfectly regular

the opposition to that measure in
the senate, is so very regular that

Poindexter also vigorously criti-
cised Governor Hay and the interests
which are trying, through him, he
said, to capture the national conser-
walton association at ST. Paul and
turn it over to the resource grab
bers by repudiating Theodore Roose-
welt and Clifford Pinchot."
The Poindexter meeting was held
in the leading theatre here, which
was comfortably filled, although Alb
erdeen is claimed to be Wilson
stronghold.
His meeting was attended by
double the number of people at
tracted to a recent Wilson meeting,
at which a free banquet was provided
as an attraction.
He was introduced by r. A. Wi

ON THE CRANE SITE
HI. p. Dillon Will Build q Beauti-
full Home.
He Exchanges Property With
Topeka Publisher.
GETS ELLIOTT LOT.
Tract of 95 Feet Facing the
State House.
Work Will Be Commenced in
Few Weeks.

H. P. Dillon of 919 Harrison street
last week traded his home property
for the residence at the corner of
Ninth and Harrison streets owned by
George Crane, and will erect mod
ern city mansion on his new lots. In
addition to trading for the Crane
place, Mr.. Dillon bought twenty feet
of ground adjoining the Crane proper
ty on the north, giving the new owner
95 foot frontage on Harrison street
for his new home, which will face the
state house.
Some months ago when Mr.. Dillon
figured on a new home, plans were
submitted, but these have been can
celled as the new location will give the
builder a better opportunity to erect
home along the plans originally de-
sired. The plans for the new Dillon
home have been in the hands OF
New York architect for two weeks and
will not be returned until about the
first of the year.
Following the closing of the deal
between Mr.. Dillon and Mr.. Crane and
the subsequent purchase of the Elllott
lots. a rumor became current to the
effect that the new home at Ninth and
Harrison was to cost in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 or not more than
$4,000. Mr.. Dillon denies that the
house will cost $4,000, but would not
make a statement as to the other
figure.
81 can not say anything about the
cost of the house at this time" said
Mr.. Dillon, "for the reason that the
plans are entirely in the hands of my
architect and 1 will not be able to
make a statement along that line for
several weeks. However, the house
will not cost $4,000 as was reported.
/ will build a modern home, but am
not laying any claims to. its being the
finest in Topeka or even one of the
finest. The house will probably be
brick with terra Gotta trimmings, but
aside from that can not say anything
as to the construction, If the winter
is mild, 1 will probably commence
work on the foundation in time for
active construction next spring prnaEass In n
little farther than that if the season is
unusually open.'
Mr.. Dillon first made known his
intention to build new home about
year ago Several locations were in
view. but no deals were closed and
Mr.. Dillon went abroad for the sum-
mer. When he returned, negotiations
were made for the Crane property
and this deal was closed a few days
ago.

Many pale, sickly persons wonder

SHAKE-UP IN PIRATES.
However, Hans Wagner VIII Play
With Them or Retire.

Pittsburg. Pa. Dec. 12.-Hans Wag-
ner. who for seven different seasons was
the premier batsman of the National
League, whose tenth year with the
Pittsburg nine the past summer has
been followed with runors of probable
sale or release, will either play with the
Pirates again next year or else retire

He said:
Il will neither sell, trade, nor re-

again, it will be with Pittsburg. OF
course, he may not want to play, but
If he does, he will be throwing dust

be shakeup in the Pirate squad and

LEMON TREE ON THUMB.
Story Goes Rounds of Washington
About Fecundity of Member.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Truth and fic-
ton are running an even race in a
story that is being told around the ma
tional capital about the fecundity of a
mans thumb, in which couple of lem
on seeds accidentally became imbed-
ded.
Six weeks ago Wilfred Barron, who
is employed at a cafe here. was whit
ting the rind off some lemons when he
cut his thumb deeply. After the wound
healed, three sprouts appeared, the
length of one of them being estimated
at one-half inch. DIR. C. A. Snow re-
moved the peculiar growth. but a few
days ago some more Abrouts rose from
the finger, it is related, and had to be
carved out. Barron is wondering wheth-
FER the vein will produce any more He
is said to have planted the first seed in
a flower pot, christening the little tree
that already has resulted therefrom Tom
Thumb.
To those who attribute the story to
fertility of the Imagination, rather than
fertility of the digit, Barron exhibits a
thumb wound on the one hand and
points with the other to the lemon plant
on the window sill.
