Mr.. Graham's record as supreme
court reporter during the five years
he served in that capacity is charac-
terized by indefatigable energy and
hard work; coupled with marked legal
ability and splendid capacity as an
analytical thinker, his administration,
beginning with the seventy-f1rst Kan
sas and extending to the current num-
Der, will be an enduring and credit
able monument to his memory. Mr..
Graham was abe originator and sue
cessful advocate of the statute passed
at the 1909 session of the legislature,
providing for the issuance of advance
sheets of the opinions rendered by the
court; this measure was unique as far
as state reporters are concerned. and
gave the bar of the state an unpar-
allelled advantage in keeping abreast
of the current decisions. In order to
put this system into effect it was neces-
sCry to compress from six to seven
years work into a four year period
and to this extra work may be partial
ly attributed Mr.. Graham's breakdown.
Mr.. Graham was born at Louisville,
Kan, and reared at St Marys. His
father, Col. James Graham, who died
two years ago, was one of the early
settlers of St. Marys. When still a
boy Llewellyn Graham learned the
printers trade. He followed it for
several years. working on papers and
in printing shops at St. Marys, Smith
Center, Downs and Topeka. He came
to Topeka in the early nineties and
went to work as a printer.
He secured a position in the Topeka
pension office in 1894 under the Cleve-
land administration and held that until
1905, when he was appointed assistant
supreme court reporter under Thomas
f. Dewey. One year later Mr.. Dewey
died and on June II. 1905. Mr.. era
ham was appointed supreme court re-
porter. He held that position until the
time of his death.
Mr.. Graham was a graduate of the
Washburn law scnoOl While he was
employed in the pension office he
studied law at the law school and
passed the bar examination the year
he was made supreme court reporter.
He was admitted to the bar in 1906.
Mr.. Graham was one of the best
known Masons in Kansas and has long
taken an active interest in the work
of the order. He was wise master of
Unity chapter Rose Croix No 1 and
master of kadosh-the presiding Off
cer-of Topeka consistory No. 1. the
highest body in the Scottish Rite in
Kansas-the 32nd degree. He also was
past master of No. II, blue lodge. He
has held practically every office of
trust from the blue lodge to the 32ud
degree organization-the consistory.
He was also a member of the Elks and
Country club.
Mr. Graham was Al years of age.
He has a sister and three brothers liv-
ing in Topeka. He has made. his home
with his brother. John Graham. at
1917 Clay street, for some time His
brothers are John, Douglas and Clar-
ence Graham, and one sister, Mary
Graham.
The funeral services will be held IN
Sunday at O'Clock at the Graham
home, 1917 clay street.

THE MARSHALL CLOTHING CO. T.
SORRY He IS GOING.
Assumption Parish Gives Father Muir
ply Touching Farewell.

A large and enthusiastic gathering of
the members Of the Assumption parish
was held at the Knights of Columbus
club quarters last evening to pay
tribute to the Reverend Father 5dur-
ply, the assistant pastor of Assump-
ton church who was recently promoted
to the important position Of pastor of
Sacred Heart church, Emmett, Kan.
This was the most noteworthy gather
ing of Catholics that has been held
in the city of Topeka for many years
BY their presence the people testified
to the universal regret that obtains
throughout the parish and the entire
city at the departure Of their beloved
assistant pastor.
Owing to the fact that the notice of
Father Murphy's promotion did not
reach Topeka until yesterday, there
was little time to arrange for a testi-
monial gathering. Nevertheless, the
people responded spontaneously, and
the club quarters were crowded to their
capacity. The ladies of The Spaldi1g
Reading circle and the members Of The
Bible class were there in a body.
As a partial recognition of the esteem
in which Father Murphy is held, he was
presented with a handsome full moroc-
co bound edition of the Catholic En-

BIG SUM is PLEDGED.
Over Thirteen Hundred Dollars Re
suit of Missionary Rally.

The union missionary rally which
closed Thursday night with a big meet
ing in the auditorium, resulted in the
raising of 1888 for missions which
includes the pledge of the women of
the Christian churches of the city,
who have agreed to support a mis-
eiOnary in Japan.
1T is woman's influence that will
redeem the world" declared the Rev,
II. Percy Silver in the course of an
address at the auditorium meeting.
1.-THE influence of the women can
bring about the salvation of the world,
but I want you to understand that by
that word, salvation, I do not mean
the teaching of men to sing psalms and
say prayers. Real salvation consists
in the saving of the bod in teaching
men to keep clean, to live clean and
to have homes"
Mrs. J. E. Mcdaniel also made an
address, which was appreciated by
those present, and Miss Frances B.
Patterson of China spoke briefly.

WHEN A TONIC
is NECESSARY
If You Are Run Down and DebiIi-
tated the Health Can Only
Be Restored by Building
Up the Blood.

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless a wasting illness has pre-
ceded the decline in health.
Obscure influences, something I'M
healthful in one s surroundings or work,
may lead to a slow impoverishment Of
the blood and an enfeeblement of the
whole body. When a serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it.
In such cases a complete change of
climate or of work will sometimes effect
a cure. It takes long time, however,
and for the great majority OF sufferers
is out of the question.
Mrs. q. p. Boutwell,, of Clear Water,
Mimi, whose husband is a hardware
merchant there, says:
About two years ago, when I was
living at West Union, Iowa, l was all
run down through hard work and worry.
I called a doctor who said I was suffer-
ing from general debility. He treated
me for some time but was unable to
do much for me. I had cold chills all
of the time and seemed to be nearly
blOOdless. I could not keep anything
on my stomach and lived on eggs and
milk for some time. My stomach was
sour and the gas on it kept me from
getting much sleep at night. The doc
tors medicine made my stomach feel
worse.
''My father had used Dr. Williams
Pink Pills with benefit and advised me
TO try them. After a week or so Icould
notice a change. Isoon became stronger,
my appetite came back and the head
aches disappeared. was then able to
eat without distress and began to do my
work. had a good color and gained

Washington, May 23.-The Lorimer
situation in the senate was further
complicated today by the introduction
OF third resolution, calling for an
investigation Of the charges. of bribery
in connection with the election of
the junior senator from Illinois. The
resolution was offered on behalf of the
democratic minority by Senator Mar
tin. 1t provides specifically for an in
quiry into the "jack pot" fund in the
Illinois legislature, and its connection
with Lorimer.
The Martin resolution would leave
with the committee on privileges and

and, delegates to it all the powers of
a court. The committee is authorized
to hold it's sessions at whatever place
it. deems most convenient.
Contrary to expectations. the senate

ness did not take up the La Toilette

their attorneys, to testify.
The committee has unearthed an
old statute which seems to confer on
it authority to send to Jail witnesses
who refuse to testify. Among the
reasons for the refusal of the four
newspaper men to testify is that they
received such information concerning
the bribery scandal in confidence.
Warrants will be served this aft
ernoon on the witnesses who refused

for passage before adjournment TO-

ure of the Arizona constitution.

ton to statehood, Representative

of judges, he said, would be not only
an innovation but a source of danger
to the integrity of the courts. Mr.,

of the country was on too high plane
to have its integrity threatened by a
popular recall at any time.
Mr.. Houston was followed by Rep

CONFIDENT BETTER ELEMENTS
CAN BRING ORDER OUT
OF CHAOS

Havana, May 23.-Replying to a re-
quest for his opinion regarding the
rumor current in Mexico City that a
counter revolution was contemplated
against the Madero faction in Mex
leo, General Bernardo REYES. who is
stopping in this city, today made the
following statement:
Il am implacably opposed to such
a movement. The criminal tyranny
Of faction, which in derision only
is termed the cientifico party, was
one which reused the people of Mex
leo against the government and fore
ed the uprising of General Francisco
l. Madero.
Il, who have shed my blood for my
country, can never join the ranks of
those who have beyond measure ex-
plotted my country and who are the
cause of all the misfortunes which
now aff1ict her and of all the perils
to which she is no wexposed. To re.
move these evils and perils it is nee
essary and possible to reach a COM
plete understanding and agreement
among the sane elements of the peo-
pie which cannot include members of
this faction of evildoers.
Jose Wives Limantour the Mexican
finance minister, who once led the
faction and against whom a singular
group revo1ted to work at their own
thus expressed himself
when endeavoring to instill the latest
Of his extemperaneous reforms in our
political system"
Asked whether the better elements
of Mexico were sufficiently strong
to carry out the work of reorganiza-
ton, General Reyes said 'I have
full confidence in them, for the lead
ers of this element I know to be in
spired by the loftiest patriotic senti-
ments and to be untouched by any
pettiness of partisan personality"
