June SNOW
STORM RECORD

The people of Central Nevada
have been rejoicing in one of the
mildest winters conceivable in this
latitude. This part of the noun
tain country has been free from the
SHOWS and stores, says the Austin
Reveille, that sometimes become
quite furious in these attitudes. 1t
has been free from the cold, wet
rains and sleets and fogs that
make the coast country so unde-
sirable in the winter months. Cen
trail Nevada has had warm and
sunshine days. Jack Ingram and
Bert AGREE have not worn their
coats this winter.
1t has been peach of winter.
But the Reveille would fall short
of its duty, in talking of The wealth
er, If it failed to remind new
Corners, at least, that the God of
Winter sometimes plays peculiar
pranks with people who live high in
the Toiyabes.
Tor instance, here is a chronicle
of the weather, set down by Charles
Richards. in indelible ink, on the
walls of his butcher shop in Aus
tin, just nineteen years ago next
June. Here is the chronicle:

LETTER FROM MIR. sTANNARD.
Says lie Employed No CIerk-Ex-
plains the dip" Controversy.

Topeka State Journal, Topeka, Kan.
Gentlemen: 1 note your article in
your issue of the oath inst, quoting
my article in the Topeka Capital.
I'm your comments on the same
there are a few corrections would like
to have you make. You say that
have attempted to shield the Topeka
Capital and other papers and other
parties connected with this matter.
The only other newspaper man that
succeeded in getting his name on the
pay roll of the senate that 1 know of
was j. E. House, who, / am advised,
writes the 'Dodd CASTOR notes for the
Capital and also writes for a great
many other papers in the state. After
the first ten days of the session, for
some reason, Mr.. House resigned his
position, and drew pay for only ten
days of the session. Had the other
newspaper men resigned, or had the
senators appointing them required
them to resign, this matter would not
have been discussed. However, they
saw fit to stay on the pay roll. Now
let them enjoy the fruits of their labor
your statement that / had a Sec
rotary on the pay roll of the senate is
absolutely false. During the eight
years that l have served in the KAN
sas legislature, what time have had
a secretary in Topeka, I have paid
them out of my own pocket, and not
one dollar has the state paid for a
secretary for me.
Your statement that I was obliged
to admit before the senate that 1 had
shipped sheep dip as crude oil, in ord er
to get q lower freight rate, is also
absolutely false. This matter never
came before the senatein any way, and
it is a lie out of whole cloth, and the
man that wrote it knew it was a lie.
1t has but one purpose and that to in
jure me. l have no objections what
ever to you or your reporters publish
ing anything concerning my record in
the legislature or in my private life.
All ask you to do is to confine your
self to the truth. Had you or your re-
porters taken pains to look up the
records of the house and senate you
would have found that at no time had
a secretary on the pay roll of the
state.
Your comment in regard to the
freight rate question shows plainly
your source of information, the Santa
Fe railroad, with whom / understand
you are closely affiliated. There was
question with the Santa Fe railroad
as to whether preparation I am SELL
ing, which IS called Processed Crude
oil should be shipped as crude oil or
as dip. There was no controversy
over it whatever. 1 contended that it
the Santa Fe contended that it should
be shipped as dip, and they arbitrari-
ly put in the dip rate, which 1 still
contend is unjust to my patrons that
use this preparation. Had 1 voted al
ways in the legislature as the Santa
Fe people wanted me to, possibly this
rate would not have been changed. /

DIAz WANTS TO STAY.
He Is Being Dragged Abroad by His
Women Folks.

Vera Cruz, May 29.-Ex-P President
Porfirio Diaz does not wish to leave
his native land and is doing so it is
known today only because the women
members of his immediate family,
fearful of an attack in the palace, per-
suaded the general to take passage on
board the Hamburg American line
steamer Ypiranga for Spain. He re-
CARDS the trip as a piece of foolish
ness. The ex-preSident's earnest wish
is to retire to ranch in his native
state of Oaxaca. His dislike to leave
Mexico has grown more pronounced
since he came here, in sight of the
ocean. 1t will be his first foreign
trip.
Gen. Diaz's face is still inflamed, the
red extending to his eyes. He talks
in whispers, but is now able to eat
frijoles. Gen. Diaz spent several hours
on the veranda of his house here tc-
day receiving among a few other
persons, w. w. Canada, American
consul at Vera Cruz, who has been a
friend of the ex-president for IA years.
Last night a demonstration which was
started during a concert in the plaza
constitutional and which, while laud-
ing Madero for the success of the rev.
oIution was accompanied by an under
tone directed against Diaz ended

MUST GO TO TRIAL.
Judge Whitcomb Overrules Contention
of Mrs. Mum in Gordon Case.

Attorneys for the plaintiff in the
Gordon-Munn case breathed a sigh of
relief this morning when Judge Whit
comb overruled the defendants de-
| murrer to the evidence, compelling the
Mum interests to establish the con-
tents of the ante-nuptial agreement.
The ruling of the court possibly came
as a surprise to the defense. After, a
short consultation, Mrs. Munn's law
yers asked that the case be continued
they might prepare their evidence. At
torney Hite. of Mrs. Munn's counsel, is
sick and was scarcely able to attend
court today. A. H Vance, of Oklahoma
City, and former county attorney of
Shawnee county, is needed by the de-
wednesday. 1t was Vance who drew
the ante-nuptial agreement and his
testimony is one of the important links
in the case which the Mum interests
hope to establish.
When the jury was called this morn
ing. both sides admitted that Gordon
died without leaving a will. Then Judge
Whitcomb announced his decision On
the defendants demurrer. This motion
went to the burden of proof concerning
the ante-nuptial agreement and Mrs
NUNS attorneys hoped to have the
burden placed with the plaintiff J. B.
Lar1mer denied that the motion was of
vital importance to Mrs. Gordon's in
terests, but attorneys for the plaintiff
were nevertheless happy when the
court ruled in their favor. In fact they
were SO we'll pleased that they avoided
an opportunity to object to a contin-
uance OF the action
Judge Whitcomb, in ruling on the de-
murrer. said in part:
If this action had been brought by
the defendants against the plaintiff and
the marriage contract set up in the
petition as it appears here in the an
swer, and the defendants in such ac-
ton had answered in the same manner
as she has here by her reply, it would
hardly be contended that plaintiffs in
such action could safely rest their case
without proving the marriage contract.
The fact that the issue is made here by
the answer and reply does not change
the principle What plaintiff in this
case is seeking to do by her reply is to
deny the execution of the contract all
legged and at the same time avail her
self OF matters in avoidance of the real
contract entered into. This she has a
right to do under the rules of pleading
in force in this state.
TT will be observed in the cases ra-
he'd upon by defendants counsel tha
reply admitted the defenses made bv
the defendants. That is not true in This
case While plaintiff admits there was
contract, she does not admit the CON
tract alleged by defendants, and II
must be true that the burden of nroof
is upon the defendants to prove the
contract they have alleged
1nls checks the contract squarelv I'M
10 the defense. Then, by its rebuttaI
testimony, the plaintiff will endeavor to
reIute the alleged contents of the con-
tract. In this respect the course of
testimony will be in strict accorda noe
with that offered in the former trial of
the case. -. -

HE'LL FLY IN TOPEKA.
James Ward, Young Man Who Prom
ises to StartIe People.

| James Ward, the youngster who has
| been doing some of the most sensa-
tional feats in the air. Of the present
season with a Curtiss aeroplane, will
| fly in Topeka June s, 9, 10 and II in
| a new nickel plated 60-horsepower
machine. It might be interesting to
note that Ward, who is but Fl years
of age, was mechanic with Bud
Mars when he was in Topeka last
year. He has no sense of fear and
does stunts that, seem next to impos-
sible.
| At Wichita he was the hero of. the
recent flying meet, and it is expected
that while on the sVinewood. aviation
! field he will 90 some daredevil feats
that will cause the thousands of spec
tators to "sit up and take notice"
Hugh H. Robinson, the other avi-
ator who will be here, is but 29 years
old and has seen enough of the world
and had enough experience in aerial
experience since he first saw the light
of day in the little town of Neosho,
Mo-, to satisfy the ordinary man with
out entering into the career as a pro-
feSSional aviator
He has been a baI1oonist and para
chute jumper, has looped the loop on
a bicycle and on motorcycle, driven
racing automobiles and racing motor
boats, built and flown the first Ameri-
can mGnoplane and now is flying the
new 65-miles-an-hour Curtiss racing
| biplane.
Robinson is natural mechanic
| one of the very best-end since his
youth has experimental with automo-
| biles and gas engines. He built the
first automobile seen in southwest
Missouri, and then became foreman in
one of the big eastern automobile fac
tories.
His mind ran toward aeronaut;cs,
however, and as early as 1901 he began
experimenting with gliders, and later
with monoplanes and hiplanes, with
only partial success. Finally, how
ever, ne completed a roonoplane, the
first ever built in this country, but be-
fore he could perfect it a storm came
along and completely wrecked it..

FOURTH" AT GARFIELD.
Celebration Will Be Held There In
stead of Fair Grounds.

Commissioner E. B. Stotts has offer
ed Garfield park as the place for hold
ing the big sane Fourth celebration
and it has been accepted. The manage
ment of the Kansas State Fair associa-
ton having come to the conclusion that
it would not be advisable to offer the
use of the fair grounds for the purpose
on account of the fact that it would
interfere with the workssof- contractors
who are erecting buildings and are I'M
der bond to complete their contracts by
a given time, and because there will be
a number of race horses training on the
grounds that day.
1T has been my idea from the first.
said Commissioner Stotts today, that
the celebration, if one is to be held
by the committee, should be held in
Garfield park in place of at the fair
grounds. The park is one of the most
beautiful in the city, with hundreds OF
fine old shade trees, for protection from
the heat during the day, and plenty of
open ground for the fireworks. There
are several fine teeter boards, a dozen
or more swings, and there will be more
of them there before the Fourth ar
rives and May pole or two. which
will afford pleasure for the children
as we'll as their elders. Soldier creek
affords a stream for fishing and bath
ing and there are dozen of boats avail
able for those who desire to use them.
Thousands of residents of Topeka,
especially this side of the river, know
nothing of the natural beauties of Car
field park and this celebration will give
them an opportunity to get acquainted.
the city and thousands of working peo-
pie live within easy walking distance
and will not be compelled to spend any
thing for car fare.

TAFT'S FALL PLANS.
His Western Trip May Extend as Far
as the Pacific Coast.

Washington, May 29.-As having a
probable bearing on his nomination
in 1912 President Taft's plans for the
coming fall are attracting attention.
Today the president told Senator
Smoot of Utah that he expected to
accept an invitation to visit Salt Lake
City in September when the annual
state reception to old home folks is
being held there. The White House
travel book already shows engage
ments which will carry. the president
into Kansas and from there to Utah.
Although no engagement for stops
in Nebraska or Colorado have yet been
made, it is likely they will be- The
trip may take the president as far as
the Pacific coast.

Charles Heck was brought to To-

YOUNG WILL PAY.
Agrees to Send His Family Mon.
ey and Is Released.
Wife Agrees to Settlement and
Case Is Dropped.

Dr. C. r. Young. veterinary, may
continue to gallivant up and down the
country, prescribing for the ills of the
animal kingdom, but DR.. Young must
each month send a remittance for the
care of his family in Topeka The
court does not want to interfere with
Dr. Young's pursuits of peace and hap
piness, but the doctors obligations to
his family are paramount.
When Lottie D. Young, the wife and
mother, and three daughters-aged 10
and and years-went to Judge
Schoch's office last week, they COM
planned that DIR. Young's professional
that on Mrs. Young fell the responsible
fty of the household. So Judge Schoch
took notice. DR.. Young was profess
sionally engaged in Lyon county. But
a state warrant brought him to To-
peka.
While the case was pending in the
probate court, DIR. Young and Mrs.
Young and Jeanette May Young and
Williforine Lucille Young and Dorothy
De Lories Young conferred. AS a re-
suit of that conference, Dr. Young Of
fered to spend SO a month for the sup
port of his family. But his professional
duties abroad should not be impaired
by the terms of the contract In the
same picture hat that she wore on her
first visit. Mrs. Young went to the pro-
bate court. There she related Youngs
stipulation.
Mrs, Young is modest little woman
and she didn't want to handle the doc
tors pocketbook rudely. She admitted
the SO would help greatly. Mrs. Young
was willing to work and provide the
balance. Solnenly Judge Schoch re-
viewed the tender. Then he demurred.
He insisted Young should do more.
Young's generosity was bubbling strong
when the court told him the family
needed more money. So Young took
the matter under advisement. This
morning he admitted he could pay SIS
month to the support of his family.
Mrs. Young was happy; so was Jeanette
May and S-year-old Williforine Lucille
and 3-year-old Dorothy De Lories
turned over in the go-cart, rubbed her
chubby thumbs and cooed loudly.
It was a happy family that left the
probate court. DR.. Young was free to-
go and come. Mrs. Young's family bur-
den was somewhat lifted and the chill
dren smiled as they saw visions of
greater prosperity in the little home
on the East side.
