STATE FAIR NOTES.

Nine different states are represented
in the poultry exhibit of the state fair.
The display of ornamental ducks
and other water fowl taken from the
city parks is attracting much attcn-
ton in a tent in connection with the
poultry exhibit.
G. H. Binger of Topeka and J. H.
Baughman also of this city are among
the largest exhibitors at the state fair
poultry show.
One of the best displays in the swine
department of the state fair is by w.
H. Corsa of Whitehall, Ill, who has
just taken many premiums at the Ne
braska and Iowa shows
There are two flying machines on
exhibit on the state fair grounds, one
a Wright machine, owned by William
Gabriel. and the other the biplane as
sembled in Topeka and owned by a.
K. Longren.
There is not the usual crowd of peo-
pie selling "eats' in front of the main
entrance to the state fair grounds.
There is a city ordinance prohibitins
the sale of articles in the immediate
vicinity of the gate, and the ordinance
has been enforced.
The largest morning crowd of the
week was on the state fair grounds
this morning. The main attraction
was a concert by Liberatis band i'm
mediately in front of the agricultural
building.

and from SIS to ST made it red hot for
the invaders.
ITO these men and the veterans of
the Civil war the state owes her ever
lasting gratitude. But for them tho
frontier settlements in central and
western Kansas would have been roll
ed back by the hostile Indians and
many localities made waste.
During the period of from 1855 to
1870 the population Of the state in
creased from 100000 to 365,OOO and
many state institutions were erected.
The hostile tribes were rounded up
and placed on their reservations and
peace re1gned throughout our borders
In the face of the prosperity that
has followed this decade can not
understand why so many have left tho
state, but to those who stayed and to
those who are present this morning
extend the heartiest of congratula-
tions and welcome
GOV. ST. Johns Speech.
Ex-Governor st. Johns speech in
part follows:
I have lived in Kansas for 43 years,
and now l am telling you that in my
judgment this state has a greater per
cent of intelligence, wide awake and
soberer people than in any other ter
ritory on the face of the globe. Kan
SaS gave more men to the Civil war
In proportion to its population at the
time, than any other state in the I'M
grandest officers and leaders of men
in the war-Old Jim Lane, John T.
Birth, Col. Joseph E. Waters, and Col
Veale are among them.
To-day is one of congratulations
time to say kind things of one anoth-
er, to lay aside prejudice-if you are
hating any one, for Gods sake cut it
out, forget it.
Kansas takes no steps backward.
Let me repeat again: She has set her
stakes and Kansas takes no steps
backward. Her way will ever be on
ward, upward and Godward. If there
is an element which wishes to bring
about a downward change let ISe SILLY
that element has no more chance than
cat in the lower regions without
claws.
4 am not here to make a political
speech. I have resolved, God helping
me, never to mix in politics again, but
wish to say that peace in Kansas
has had its heroes, noble, distinguished
governors, for instance a governor
with a backbone. like Stubbs-

A LITTLE DANDERINE WILL
MAKE YOUR HAIR LUSTROUS,
SOFT, FLUFFY, ABUNDANT
Get a IS Cent Bottle Now and
Forever Stop Falling Hair, Itching
Scalp and DandruH
IF you Wish to Double the Beauty
of your Hair in Ten Minutes surely
Try a Danderine Hair Cleanse

Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy,
abundant and appears as soft, lustrous and
beautiful as young girls after Danderine
hair cleanse. Just try this-moisten a cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small strand
at time. This will cleanse the hair of dust,
dirt and excessive oil and in just a few
moments you have doubled the beauty of
your hair.
A delightful surprise awaits particularly
those who have been careless, whose hair
has been neglected or is scraggy, faded, dry,
brittle or thin. Besides beautifying the hair
at once, Danderine dissolves every particle
of dandruff; cleanses, puri1es and invigor-
ates the scalp, forever stopping itching and
falling hair.
Try as you will, after one application of
Danderine you cannot find any dandruff or
a loose or falling hair, and your scalp will
never itch, but what will please you most
will be after few weeks use when you will
actually see new hair-fne and downy at
6rst-yes-but really new hair sprouting all
over the scalp. Danderine makes the hair
grow long, heavy and luxuriant and we can
prove it. If you care for pretty, soft hair
and lots of it surely get a IS cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any druggist
or toilet counter, and just try it.

Interesting Early Times.
Captain Waters Makes Predic.

over 200 people, the majority of whom
were Kansas pioneers, attended the old
settlers reunion held at the Auditorium
this morning Two ex-governors, ex-
Governor St. John and Ex-Governor
Crawford. the war governor of the
state and author of Kansas in the
Sixties" We're present and made ad-
dresses Captain Joseph Waters, Tom
McNeal, ex-state printer, also spoke.
Ex-senator w. A. PETER was on the
platform but did not make any talk.
1t was an impressive occasion. The
faces of the audience, the greater part
of whom were aged and wrinkled with
the cares of fifty years struggle against
frontier hardships, were serious with
the significance of the day.
On the platform sat some of the Isad-
ers and makers of the states history.
Among them, Ex-Governor Crawford,
the war governor, hale and hearty. His
talk was devoted largely to the early
history of the state. showing what OBJ
stacles the Free state men had to over
come in the struggle for a slaveless
state. He said in closing that it seems
strange that with the promise of pros
of the state so many people left, but to
those remaining, he extended the
heartiest welcome and congratu lations.

He commended Kansas people on the

MRS. SMITH MAY DIE.
Mother of Mrs. Payne Struck by
CHANGING Bullet.
Trouble Led to Separation Six
Months Ago.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 14.@Turning
his revolver upon himself after having
fired two shots at his wife, DR.. c. c.
Payne of Eudora, said to be a former
resident of Topeka, killed himself in
stantly here today Family disagree
ments are declared responsible for the
tragedy
Mrs. NJ. E. Smith. mother of Mrs.
Payne was injured, and it is believed
the shock of the shooting will cause
her death. She is II years old. Mrs
Payne. although wounded twice, is not
in a serious condition. One shot took
effect in her wrist and another struck
her right arm.
1t was the bullet which struck Mrs.
Payne's right arm that wounded her
mother, Mrs. Smith. The bullet struck
the bone, glanced and struck Mrs.
Smith in the left leg.
Payne shot himself through the
heart, dying instantly.
Family trouble of long standing
brought about today's tragedy. About
a year ago DR.. Payne changed his in
surance policies, making his children
instead of his wife the beneficiary in
case of his death. Six months ago, it
is reported that Mrs Payne eloped
with a travelling salesman, going to
Colorado. Later differences were adj
justed and she returned to her home.
Trouble soon broke out afresh and
last Monday Mrs. Payne took her two
children, aged ~ and IA years, and
came to Lawrence, where she stayed
with her mother and sister at a local
rooming house.
Today Payne came to town. Driv-
ing to where his wife was staying, he
tried to effect a reconciliation The
mother of his wife urged her daughter
to return to her home.
you ought to live together she
urged
Il will never live with him. Mrs.
Payne said.
Payne drew a revolver and taking
careful aim fired. The first shot struck
Mrs. Payne's wrist He then fired
again, striking her on the arm. The
bullet, glancing struck the woman
who had championed Payne's cause
but a few minutes before and will like
ly cause her death.
Payne moved to EudOra.. about six
years ago. He has been successful and
is well liked there. For a year tales
of scandal linking the name of Mrs.
Payne with other men have been whis-
pered but with the exception of her
two weeks stay in Colorado they have
been without known foundation. It is
said that the dead physician formerly
lived in Topeka.
Before her marriage Mrs. Payne liv-
ed at Oskaloosa, Kan.

the name of DR.. c. c. Payne and old
time physicians say they do not re-

THAT legislature adopted a code Of

thereof the words Territory of Kan

Captain Waters Address.
Captain Joseph G. Waters said that
for fifty Years Kansas had been de-
veloping and that the progress in the
next five decades would be with
arithmetical progression. He predicted
that fifty years from now, among 9th
er things it would be felony for any
one to have a motorcycle in his pos
session, that every man would be his
own doctor. lawyer and preacher and
be nearly paid for. Like the other
speakers he referred to the crops of
fine girls who represented their towns
in the Semicentennial parade as in
dicative of the grea cneSS of the future
people of the state
William Barker, who was born No
vember 5, 1912, in what is now Johnson
county, was in the audience. From his
seat he told how his parents had come
from the east in 1888 and how his faith
er had conducted a mission for the
Shawnee and Delaware Indians. Mr..
Barker served in the Price raid.

Oh, that second game, that slaughter.

awful! And just think, at the bottom of
