Kansas City is surprised at the aero

every city in the country-since To-
peka was one of the five cities in the
United States to enter the national
races. But Topeka isn't surprised It
is a natural course of progressiveness
in this city.
Pilot Jacobs said he was going to be
one of the winners of the national bal
loon races or never show his face in
Topeka again. Topeka isn't asking to be
a winner in the race The very fact
that the city entered and has a quaIt-
fled pilot is enough to make cities ten
times the size sit up and take notice.
The Wichita papers have been print

the demand.

80 TEXAS CATTLE STAMPEDE.
Chicago Treated to Real wild West
SpectacIe-One Hurt.

Chicago, July 11.-Thirty long
horned Texas steers stampeded at
West Fortieth and Morgan streets and
ran madly for moro than a mile
through busy streets. Pedestrians
scampered from the path of the ami
mails and the excited cattle almost
had a clear right of way.
One man was not quick enough to
escape the frenzied cattle and his
scalp was ripped open by the horn of
one of the herd Three Of the steers
were killed during the stampede, two
being run down by locomotives and a
third by a street car. When Il was
realized that the wild cattle had got
beyond control, two cowboys on bron-
chos dashed along the streets warning
pedestrians to get out of the way.
A dozen cowboys finally rounded up
the band.

To that on the 7th Of July I wrote
Judge Sapp again as follows:
am in receipt of your kind letter
of July and have carefully noted its
contents. I may be in Galena on Sun
day and will try to see you.
There is one thing in your letter
which is not altogether clear or specific.
Let me quote from your letter:
He told me either by the sheriff him
self, or the clerk or the county attor-
ney, and am not certain which, that the
say had selected the deputies and ia
ken them to the sherif's Office and ask
ed him to deputize them"
Now who is the he that told you
that? I am well assured that it Is
absolutely false. Neither Mr.. Lindsay
nor Mr.. Trickett nor myself were ac-
quainted with the men whom the sheriff
selected. I asked the sheriff myself
If he had some reliable men lie could
pick up in a hurry and get this large
number Of warrants served, and ne
said he could, and Mr.. Lindsay and MIR.
Trickett had nothing to say in regard
to the matter. The men were all
strangers to me and remember eau
tioning them about not getting hurt.
1 feared that there might be some seri-
Gus violence and told the sheriff and
those deputies to be careful and to be
sure and save their own hides Il any
thing of that kind occurred, Us did
not want any officer to be hurt or
killed.
Mr. Wickersham swore positively on
the witness stand here that he did not
buy any beer, that he Clipped in so
cents and loaned so cents to another
man and gave it to a third whom he
did not know to buy from somebody
else whom he did not know, aud that
was the extent of the information which
he was able to give us.

effect Of Tightening the skin and
heightening its vitality is to imme-
diately affect every line and wrinkle,
keeping the cuticle smooth and firm
