Better Crop Reports Also Give a
Bearish Impetus.
SLOWNESS OF DEMAND
Makes Corn Drag in Face of
Light Receipts.
Steadiness of Hogs Gives a Firm
Tone to Provisions.

Chicago, Sept. 21-WHEAT-Whe trad
ers today took waiting attitude pending
the outcome of the vote in Canada on

posed to sag, owing to the absence of
even an ordinary demand. Furthermore,

ceipts. December opened at SIC to 644647sc,

IT'S CIRCUS DAY.
Sells Fl0tO Show Is at the Fair
Grounds.
1t Has Lost None of It's POpu-
larity.

A 1880 o'clock, just an hour late,
which is doing well for a circus, the
parade of the big Sells-Floto circus
started on its march up Kansas ave-
nue. and on out to the fair grounds.
The procession was headed by a
clown on a bicycle who caused much
amusement by his antics.
There was the usual array of gayly
attired bandsmen and riders of the
''prancing steeds," aside from the
gorgeous wagons containing the beats
OF the forest, but the general aspect
OF the cavalcade which was a mile
or more in length was one of newness,
and conspicuous feature was the
fine horses which could almost be
said to be rolling in fat.
There were five bands in the parade
and, of course, the calliOpe. for a pa
rade would not be complRte without
the musical engine. Harry Wills king
of calliope players. is one of the best
operators ever heard in Topeka. VIII
liam E. English is director of the
bands, which form a single concert
band at the show.
The show started at o'clock this
afternoon at the fair grounds and was
enjoyed by the usual crowd. The even
ing performance begins at 8 o'clock,
although the doors will be open at z
o'clock to allow plenty of time for
viewing the animals.
The wild beasts are there in great
variety and they have the appearance
of being we'll fed. The camels look
particularly sleek.

x. Q. COLLEGE, LIFE GOOD.
Students Ruled by Sentiment at Home
Rather Than Rules.

Lawrence, Kan. Sept. 21.-The opin-
ion held by some persons that the col
lege has a degrading influence upon
the moral life of the students is un-
grounded in the University of Kansas,
according to Chancellor Frank Strong.
Chancellor Strong was asked to express
his ideas concerning the statement
made by R. T. Crane. The millionair :
iron manufacturer, who has made an
extensive investigation of the condi-
tions in some of the large eastern uni
versities. says that these schools show
conditions that breathe forth a story
of drunkenness, immortality, brawling
and the reckless spending of money"
Il know that such conditions do not
exist in the University of Kansas
Chancellor Strong said. Here the con-
dition is far better than in almost any
community that one might name.
The Kansas chancellor, who is a
graduate of Yale university, says that
he does not believe Mr.. Crane can sub
stantiate his charge against that
school. Chancellor Strong said:
1.-THE present healthy condition at
the University of Kansas has not been
brought about by rigid disciplinary
rules, for formal rules are extremely
few at this university. It is caused by
the general sentiment of the state and
the overwhelming sentiment of the
student body itself

Stories of Roads Prosperity.

Stories of Roads Prosperity.
Kansas city. No, Sept 21.=The
saying that a Santa Fe employee is
always a booster for the road was very
forcibly proved last night by Charles
Wilson, formerly of Fredonia, Kan,
now a freight conductor for the Santa
Fe out of Albuquerque, N NJ
1.-THE Santa Fe west of Albuquerque
has some of the best construction in
the United States,'' said Wilson. ''It
will be but a few years until the road
will have double track from Albuquer-
que to Frisco. with every bridge and
culvert made of reinforced concrete.
am sure the success of the Santa Fe
during the last twelve years has been
due to the type of practical men who
have been placed in responsible places.
Such men as L l. Hibbard and E. J.
Gibson command the greatest possible
loyalty
Mr.. Wilson says there is consider
able excitement near Gallup, N M,
where oil has been found. At Chaves,
N. NJ. one veil has been drilled. At a
depth of $50 feet oil with a specific
gravity of from % to 25 has been
found. Two drilling rigs are under
contract to begin work in the Chaves
field within sixty days. Most of the
claims are held by railroad men. Mr.
Wilson is on a thirty-day leave of alb
seEce, and will visit relatives in Fre-
dcnia. In 1905 he was railroading in
Old Mexico and while there he got
taste of Mexican justice, having been
jailed at Jimalco for minor accident.

FLOOD OUT THE "sQUATTERs.' .
This Is Method Practiced by Missouri
Pacific on Railway Land.

Kansas City, Sept. 21.-In order to
remove "squatters'' from land on the
Missouri river here owned by the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad company, a plan
to drown them out has been adopted
..Squatters'' who have lived for years
along the river built their own shanties
and cultivated crops, refused to move
when ordered to do so by representa-
tives of the railroad company. Several
of the "squatters'' have threatened to
shoot the first man that attempted to
destroy their hcmes, so the idea OF
flooding the ground was decided upon.
Large quantities of sand and water
are pumped from the river and poured
on the ground from pipes. Some of the
"squatters' have raised their houses
on stiIts, but eventually all will nave
to move.

BIG MISSOURI PACIFIC DEFICIT.
Financial Showing in Annual Report
Is Worse Than Estimates.

New York, Sept. 21.-The annual re-
port of the Missouri Pacific Railway
company for the year ending June 30,
1911, shows a deficit of S5,232, ,539. Gross
earnings decreased only $242, ,544. the to-
tai being $50, ZIG, ,592. Operating expen-
ses increased IS, ,782, ,564.
The greater part of the deficit re-
suits from unadjusted claims and the
settlement of judgment suits of previ-
Gus years. together with what is sta
ted to be a readjustElent of q previous
generalization of working assets A
portion of the deficit is also owing to
the increase in the rates of pay of
trainmen and all classes Of labor,
which, after mediation and arbitration,
the company conceded in 1910
Net income shows a decrease of $6,-
657, ,216, with a decrease in the net sur
plus of $7,991.9 $50. The surplus, which
was $16,655, ,5S7 a year ago, has been
reduced to $9,14S.252 for the Missouri
Pacific. In the case of the st. Louis
& Iron Mountain road, an important
Eart of the Missouri Pacific system,
the surplus is cut from s1,425,297 to
s11196S.
The charges to profit and loss against
discount ard commissions on securities.
from depreciation on equipment and
investments and sundry items amount
ed to $4 494,932. Against this is credit
to profit and loss of $3038,715, so that
the net reduction in surplus from ad-
justments was $1,456,2i7 for the Mis-
souri, Pacific. In the case of the Iron
Mountain the net debt to these ac-
counts was 81, 131, ,905.
The statement as a whole, is rather
worse than most estimates recently
current in financial circles. The drastic
pruning of all doubtful assets is be-
lieved to be due to the policy inaugu-
rated by President Bush, who was
present at the meeting of the directors.

KIDNAPERs BEAT UP PARENT.
Carries Only $1.zOO Instead of $4,000
as Demanded.

New York, Sept. 21.-vincent Sa-
bella whose six-year-oId son was kid
naped two months ago, is lying at his
home today dangerously injured as the
result of q terrific beating which he
received at the hands of the kidnap-
ers, whom he had met by appointment
to complete arrangements for the re-
turn of his son. The kfdnapers had
demanded a $4,000 ransom. but Sa-
bella was able to raise only $1,700,
which he carried in an inside pocket in
an immense roll of bills of small de-
nomination.
That his assaiIants did not obtain
this money was due to the fact that it
made such a large roll that they could
not get it out of his pocket.

the governor and does not have his
hand wrung by an admirer of Gov
ernor Stubbs or a seeker after politi-

Mr.. Mcdonald has the same color
hair as the governor and the same
fforid complexion, and the features of
the two men are very much alike
Their eyes are about the same color
and the movement of their lips when
speaking is almost the same. The gov
ernor is slightly taller and not little
older than Mr.. Mcdonald. Mr.. Nc
Donald is apparently the heavier of the
two.
