plain of Treatment.

Los Angeles, Oct. 25.-Efforts to OBJ
tain talesmen satisfactory to both
sides in the case of James B. Nc
Namara, indicted for murder in con-
nection with the explosion of the Times
building here. continue today
The discovery yesterday of a tales
man who, while waiting as a venire-
man to be called to the jury box for
examination actually referred to his
possible jury service on the case while
talking with friends, has illustrated IN
another way the difficulty that is be-
ing experienced in court daily in sign
ing men who have kept their minds
free from discussing the Times disas-
ter.
B. c. Clark, the talesman who talk
ed with Harry Chandler, vice president
of the company publishing the Times
and whom he met in street mentioning
only casually that he was drawn for
jury duty and eliciting the comment
from Chandler that he hoped Clark
would qualify, has been summari.y
excused by the court from serving.

A Silken Luster
To the Dullest Hair
lFashion's Mirror.l

Proper care of hair and scalp does
not mean time-consuming and expen-
sive trips to the hair-dresser's Sim
plicity is the keynote-just an occa-
sio1aI brushing of scalp and hair on
which has been sprinkled a table,
spoonful of dry shampoo mixture.
This is brushed through and out of the
hair, and with i. comes all dust, dand-
ruff and excess oil
ITO prepare the dry shampoo, mix
together either 4 ounces of orris root
or corn meal and 4 ounces therox.

twice each week After d few sham

KANSAS IS GROWING.
COburn's Figures Show Two Hundred
Thousand Increase.

According to Secretary Coburns
figures issued in the quarterly report
of the state board of agriculture, Kan
sas now has a population of 1,6S6,647
as against 1,467,S08 in 1901, a gain of
over 100000 in the past ten years.
The secretary's figures are taken from
the reports of county assessors. They
show little change in the cities of the
first class in the past few years. Kan
sas City still leads and shows a gain
in population since the last census.
Wichita is second and also shows a
gain. While Topeka is third this city
shows no gain since the last census.
A notable fact in connection with
the Coburn figures is that only g per
cent of the population OF the state is
found in cities of above 10000 popu-
lation. Not a state between Kansas
and the Atlantic coast can make such
a showing of rural population. The
following is the 1911 census of the

Denver, Oct. 25.-Rev. w. S. Rudolph

ten minutes of lively fisticuffs over

Dr. Rudolph with a number of MS
friends was sitting quietly in the reftr

trustees ard other church workers ar
raigned the pastor in severe terms Tor
attempting to retain possession of the
church after he had resigned from the
board of governors.
Then motion was carried to go into
executive session in 4 room adjoining
the church and the pastor and his
friends theoretically were invited to
absent themselves.
DR.. Rudolph. however, led his CO.
horts around to a back door and en-
tered the room. A fight Immediately
begaf Women IN Mysteries bolted into
the open air while dozen or more
men punched at each other in grim
and almost silent earnestness, several

Shawnee Alfalfa Club TO Be Guests of
w. A. S. Bird.

The usefulness of blasting powder
on the farm and in the orchard will
be thoroughly demonstrated on the
Walnut Glen farm, two miles north of
Belvue, next Monday afternoon by
representatives of the DUPONT Pow
der company.
The farm is in Pottawatomie county
and is owned by w. A. S. Bird, a To-
peka attorney, who has invited the
Shawnee Alfalfa club to witness the
dem Onstration which begins at 1
O'Clock. The Union Pacific train from
Topeka reaches Belvue about 11:45
allowing time for lunch in the town
after which a hay rack will be ready
to haul visitors to the farm.
Experiments in blasting bitches,
blowing out trees and stumps, blow
ing out bouIders, blasting holes for
planting fruit trees, 1oosening up the
packed dirt under apple trees, and
other experiments will be made. Tests
will be made in both wet and dry
ground. The powder company has
200 pounds of dynamite on the farm
and more on the way.

Seems to Be Melting.

The candidates for the Republican
nomination for congress in the Sew
enth district are making hay these
days whether the sun shines or not.
Besides a county canvass the candl-
dates are sending out literature oy
the ton. w. D. Harry of Kinsiey, the
business man candidate, has me
lot of printed stuff. A notable sample
of this output is the unbiased opinion
of the 1&irsley Graphic, of the three
candidates in the field as follows:
Finley, of Dodge City, proposes to make
the race on his endorsement of the Madi-
son policies, but is allied with the Stand
Martin. of Hutchinson, has published
no statement as to his position on any
matter, but if a man is to be judged by
his friends he stands for the Standpau-
tiers.
Hopkins, of Garden City, has endorsed
everything from Alaska down to the
latest, and assumes to be the only repre-
sentative of the Progressive Republicans
in the field, and a part of the present
administration is supposed to have the
support of the Stubbs faction.
None of the three can unite their party,
as each is representative of faction
only.
Harry, of this city, on the other hand,
is allied with faction, but stands with
his party and for the union of all war
ring elements. While he is progressive,
he is not committed to any definite en-
dorsement of measures, as it is difficult
e dr dea psr q the on meny of tfe be
handled $ they come up, and to attempt
otherwise means simply to multiply
party issues and make wider and more
numerous the splits in the Republican
party.
