TAFT SILVER WEDDING.
Miss Helen Will Take Her Mothers
Place at the Reception.

Washington, June 15.-The reception
which the president and Mrs. Taft will
give June 10, the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of their marriage, probably will
be the most largely attended function
ever given in the White House, but
Mrs. Taft will not be present. Her
physicians still wish her to avoid ex-
citement. Miss Helen Taft will Stand
by her fathers side to receive the
guests. More than 5000 invitations al
ready have been sent out and each day
the president is suggesting more names
so that the lowest estimate is that
1000 will be invited and that of these
at least three-fourths will attend.
The New Years RECEPTIONS have
brought more thousands than that to
the White House, but those receptions
are not by invitation and the crowd
merely Shakes hands and departs. Al
the silver wedding celebration refresh
dancing in the East room and an 'ov~
erflow" garden party in the White
House grounds.
The guest list will include friends
and acquaintances of the president and
Mrs. Taft from all parts of the coun-
try. Nearly everybody in official life
in Washington has been invited and
invitations have been sent to persons
who have entertained the president on
his trips. to members Of the Republic
CAN national committee, 10 the OIHCldI
notification" committee which il;~
formed the president Of his nominal
tions, to many cIergymen.
This will be the third silver wedding
celebration of a president of the
United States. President and Mrs,
Grant celebrated their twenty-fifth an
niversary on August q, 1873, at theif
cottage at Long Branch, and President
and Mrs. Hayes held a levee at the
White House New Years eve 1877, TO
celebrate % years of married life.

AN AUTOMATIC SWITCH.
Chicago Man Invents One That Will
Work by Electricity.

Chicago, June 15.-The interstate
commerce commission has completed its
examination of two patents by Chi
cago man for an automatic electric
railway switch, which is unlocked.
turned and relocked by the engineer in
the locomotive cab. at any distance
from ten feet to three miles before or
after passing the switch, while going
at any rate of speed, either fast or
slow, by means of small lever which
operates depressible points between the
rails at regular intervals. The only
fault the commission found with these
patents was that there were no sig
nails to indicate the switch had been
turned. A new appliance has been per
fected to go with these patents, py
which, as soon as connection is made
between the locomotive and depress1-
BILE point a danger signal is shown i'm
mediately and remains so until the
switch has been completely turned. If
there is an obstruction between the
switch points to prevent them turning
then the danger signal remains until
the obstruction is removed.

No Wheat in Decatur.
Jennings. Kan, June

Jennings, KAN, June II.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
I see by yesterdays State Journal in
a list of men wanted for each county
to harvest that you have noted that in
Decatur county $40 men are needed. A
few weeks ago the prospects here were
fine but the last two weeks has ruined
all the wheat. There will not be much
wheat in this and Sheridan counties.
We thought it would be useless to in
duce a lot of workingmen to head this
way and no work in sight. So if you
will publish the above it will explain.

Farmer Injured When Brace Strikes

Bala. Kan, June 15.-W. H. McNeal,
living near this place, was the victim
of a peculiar and painful accident.
While looking after a windmill on his
place, standing directly beneath the
wheel with his face upturned, a piece
of old wagon tongue that had been
used as a sort of brace at the top of
the tower fell to the ground, striking
Mr.. McNeal just below the eye. To
make the matter worse there was d
nail in the end OF the tongue and that
pierced his cheek an inch. He was
