PITY FOR PATTERSON.
They Loved Each Other, Priest Says
of Slain Man and Wife.

Chicago, Sept 30.-"Poor boy, he was
the victim of a misguided love-" de-
clared Father William CahilI of the
Church of the Visitation, in pronounce
ing the funeral sermon for Charles A.
Patterson, who was shot to death in
Denver by his wife, who is now in Jail.
81 should thousand times rather be
in that poor boys place than in that of
the broken hearted creature who took
his life. She will go through all her
days with the mark of Cain upon her
brow. She will never escape the
stigma of her crime. She is to be
pitied.
The dead man was the victim of
love that absorbed the lives of two
young persons. Hers was misguided
love and he gave his life as a sacrifice
to it. I knew them both, and can say
they were truly devoted to each

by Mrs. Patterson, mother of the slain

WEEKLY MARKFgr SUMMARY.
Stock Exchange Recalled Panic Times
During Turbulent Week.

New York, Sept. 3O.-Aside from
times of panic, the stock market has
not in many years passed through
such a turbulent week as the present
one. Speculation assumed gigantic pro-
portions, and prices tumbled rapidly
owing to the uneasiness which was felt
as to the possibility of dissolution of
the United States Steel corporation and
other large concerns. During the first
half of the week fluctuations were viO-
lent and the market at times was de-
moraHzed.
The effect of the United States Steel
corporations statement that it would
not dissolve voluntarily was to exag-
gerate rather than check the violence
of speculation. The market was con-
vulsed by a wild upward movement
which speedily was followed by rapid
decline. Over extension of the short
interest was the primary factor lead
ing to the showing of strength made
late in the week.
Reports of poor earnings by the steel
makers and by railroads contributed
to the feeling of unrest. The critical
condition of the labor dispute on the
Hartman lines found only a slight re-
Election in market movements. Dis
turbing events abroad were of little
weight in this market, owing to the
tense state of domestic conditions

KEEP OUT FLOODS.
Farmers in Menoken District Are
Planning New Work.

Farmers in the Menoken township
flood district have planned a cam
paign against the high waters and w5ll
endeavOr to redeem several thousand
acres of the best land in Shawnee
county. The preliminary work in the
new drainage district will start in a
few days when an effort will be made
to reclaim 800 acres of land in the
Kaw river bottom. If this work is
succ essful, other land in the flood dis
trict will be protected against the
ravages of the river.
1t is proposed to lower the grade
line of the big ditch from one to
to guard against the backwaters from
Soldier creek. About one-fourth of
the land in the flood district will be
protected by the initial campaign.
This preliminary work will cost $4,-
600.
If the work is a success, it is claim
ed that the value of the once flooded
soil will Increase $40 to $40 an acre
and insure abundant crops where in
years past the harvest has been a mat
ter of mere speculation. After the
new dikeS have undergone a thor
ough test, the land owners in the dis
trict will then decide as to a plan for
extending the work over the entire
flood area. In the Menoken district
is nearly 1000 acres of valuable soil,
which it is claimed can be redeemed
by the new drainage system.
The old drainage district was built
in 1882 and for many years has failed
to perform the service that was hoped
for it when the expensive work was
performed. The new drainage work
will be in charge of Campbell &
Griggs, Topeka engineers. who expect
to complete their work before the ar
rival of next years spring freshetS.

SHOW HEAVY EXPORTS.
Automobiles, Parts and Tires VIII Ag-
gregate $4,000. 900 This Year.

Automobiles and parts thereof ex-
ported from the United States in 1911
will aggregate approximately twenty
million dollars in value. Figures show
that for the seven months of the year
for which export statistics are avail
able, over nine million dollars worth of
automobiles exported, two million dol
lars worth of parts other than tires,
and one and one-half million dollars
worth of tires, making the aggregate
for the seven months twelve and one
half million dollars. The increase in
the expectation of this article of
American manufacture has been al
most as rapid as the growth in their
use in the United States. The total
value of automobiles and parts export
ed IN 1901, only a decade ago, was less
than one million dollars; in 1902 it
passed the one million dollar line; in
1910, thirteen million dollars worth
were exported, and in 1911 it seems
likely that the exports for automo-
biles alone will be about fourteen mil
lion dollars; for parts, except tires,
about three and one-half millions and
for tires. about two and one-half mil
lions

provides a fund for the retirement of
teachers who have well served their city
and country.
The Importance of the teacher in the
life and development of the nation need
not be pointed out to thoughtful men and
women. Teachers are devoted to child
life and youth. The adult bears, to a
greater or less extent. the impress of his
teacher. The relation of the teacher to
the child has taken on increased re-
sponsibility, and the probability seems to
be that the measure of responsibility will
continue to grow.
On the matter of teachers retirement
fund and retirement system the teachers
are well agreed. They have debated it
earnestly for long time, and out of all
the discussion VAS come plan whereby
they hope to make provision for that
time when they will no longer'be able to
teach.
The teachers have shown an initiative
in this retirement question which is COM
mendabia. They have been helping them
selves rs best they could. and now want
to put into operation a plan which COM
preherds an adequate and an equitable
retirement system. and which promises
not only some relief from anxiety and
distress for aging teachers, but also a
notable increase of educational efficiency

Good Roads Progress.

The west does not lag behind in any
thing except perhaps moss-grown build
ings and UNCOVERED ruins. In the i'm
portant matter Of good roads the west
is wide awake. Western newspapers
have good roads in all their columns.
and the good roads are not being con-
structed merely in the newspapers. but
actually in the country. They are not sim
ply to be read about. but also to be trav-
eled on. The west having abandoned the
cow pony, the burro and the numbering
stage coach as its chief means of transit
and taken up the automobile. finds that it
needs good roads. The auto is the ad-
vance agent of the good road, but the
value OF the good road to agriculture
and wagon traffic is now universally ad-
mitted.
A thousand mile stretch Of auto high
way along the backbone of the continent
Is being completed by the building OF
a two-hundred- mile link from Albuquer-
que down the Rio Grande valley to Rim

commission, backed by the public senti-
ment of the counties directly benefited,
is pushing this piece of road work.
which will put into service a smooth and
