that the pontiff should wear only the
ordinary inter and light vestment,
instead Of the triple crown and papal
mantle, in order that he might be

The doctors decided, however, that
in view of the increasing temperature
they would oppose the participation Of

Accordingly, it was arranged that

FAIL no Fly Ar SALIVA.
Central Kansas People Disappointed
Like Crowd Here

Salina, Kan, June 19.-The aviators
who disappointed the large crowd at
Topeka recently repeated their per-
Torrance here. They could not get
their machines to leave the ground in
almost a dead calm. The aviation
grounds. declared to be ideal. were
blamed by the near f1iers for their fail
ure to perform The failure of the at
traction resulted in a heavy financial
loss and the disappointment of many
local and out of town people.
The Salina Union tells of the failure
of the meet as follows:
THE real cause, SO far as can be
ascertained was the inability of either
aviator to get up and out of Oakdale
park. Three times Friday evening, in
almost a dead calm, Ward attempted
to get up and out of the park in his
Shooting Star but he failed to rise
more than a few feet from the ground
when he had covered more than half
the distance across the length of tae
park
The meeting was a failure. 1t mas
no doubt done much to injure Salina s
reputation as place for public en-
tertainments although this is the first
time everything did not take place as
advertised. From all information avail
able it seems that the majority of air
ship flights are unsatisfactory unless
big stakes anu prizes are hung up to
encourage the aviators to take all
kinds of chances for the sake of en-
pertaining the crowd and getting The
money!

New York. June 19.@That section

from Whitestone about the quality of
the water.
I'VE made an investigation to learn
what was the cause of the trouble. .,
says the report, land found that our

eral springs, the waters of which are
highly charged with iron and other
chemical properties.
'hTe waters are highly medicinal
and valuable both for drinking and

tapped by private concern some 80
years ago and pavilion was erected
there to which people came from Ill

days He say that at the end of that
time he finds that the flow IS 700 gall

COBB MAKES 100 HITS.
Leads in Run Getting, Base Stealing
and Extra Base Hits.

Chicago, June 19.-Tyrus Cobb. Of
the Detroit American league club, is
the first major league player to drive
out 100 hits in the 1911 season. His
century hit came in the eighth inning
of yesterdays game with Chicago in
Detroit. Not satisfied with gaining
this distinction for the day he raised
his total to 101 with another safe one
in the ninth.
Batting is not the only division
where Cobb leads. His twenty doubles
twenty triples and eight home runs
make him the chief of the sluggers;
his thirty steals put him at the head
among the base stealers, and his rec
ord of ffty-nine runs in fffty-fve
games has his opponents beaten bv a
wide margin. The Following shows
Cobb's work so far this season:

MORE OIL SUITS FILED.
Dawson Distributes Actions to Help

Suits to collect the civil penalties
from the Standard Oil company are
being filed in various counties as fast
as the papers can be prepared Each
OF the suit is for $500 penalties
They have been fled in Franklin.
Dickinson. Reno. Cowley. Finney and
Leavenworth counties. The attorney
general would not give out the total
number of these suits to be fled but
he did not deny that from twenty TO
thirty, for total penalties of about
$15. 600, will be brought against the
company.
The reason the total to be collected
is not brought in one suit is that the
attorney general wants to divide the
penalties to be COLLECTED among the
counties in which evidence was OBJ
tanned in the Standard Oil antitrust
suits. The money goes into the school
funds. IN the Harvester trust case
the penalties of some $500 went into
the Shawnee county school fund.
