Contest for State Treasurer Promises
to Be Interesting.

The ra, g for the Republican nom

will be an interesting three-cornered
event. Walter Payne, present assist
ant state treasurer. and w. T. Wat
son, now assistant bank commissioner
and Joe Mercer, live stock commission
er, have all announced their intention
of making the race. Payne is a reg

an able and reliable official. He is
secretary of the Kansas Day club,
serving his second term. He has many
good friends all over the state who
Will work for his nomination.
Mercer was representative in the
last legislature from Chase county,
and his services to the state were
enumerated in the State Journal yes

Watson was representative in the
last two legislatures from Allen coun-

FLEW OVER TOPEKA.
A. X. Longren Treats Citizens to Real
AeropIane Flight.

State Fair visitors and Topeka resi-
dents as we'll were given spectacle of
great merit not included in the pro-
gram last night about 7 o'clock when
Alvin K. Longren, the Topeka aviator
sailing his own Topeka made aero
plane, sailed over the business district
of the city, the State house dome, and
the residence blocks to the campus of
Washburn college, where he made his
landing.
His flight began at the Al Schmidt
farm 7 y miles southeast of the city,
where he has been conducting his ex-
perimental flights in a hay field. It
has been little over a week ago that
Longren made his first flight This
was the first trial of his biplane
The young aviator's feat last night
is by far the greatest aerial exhibition
seen in Topeka. Professionals who
have been here have attempted nothing
so daring or sensational Moreover
his military machine, larger and more
powerful than any brought here,
sailed through the twilight more
gracefully and with greater apparent
sta biltty than any machine flown in
this vicinity.
The flight which is estimated at Is
miles was made in 20 minutes de-
lay in starting was occasfoned by the
dampness of the machine which had
weathered the heavy Sunday rains.
The dampness also made the craft fly
heavily but it's so h. p engine drove

WARD WANTS A TELEPHONE.
BeIoit Man Wants State Commission
to Help Him Get One.

James NJ Ward of Beloit, painter
and decorator by profession, has rear
ed back on his constitutional rights as
a citizen of this free and enlightened
republic and asks the utilities commits
sion to compel the Solomon Valley
Telephone company to install and give
service on a telephone instrument in
his home. Mr.. Ward takes the posi-
ton that the Continentals died in vain
at Valley Forge and Brandywine and
that the Continental congress and its
declaration of independence were emp
ty and meaningless forms if he cannot
have a telephone at his home at 113
Main street in the city Of Beloit. He
further challenges the right of any
individual or corporation from Dan to
Beersheba to compel him to pay for
telephone service that had never been
rendered.
The Solomon Valley Telephone COM
pany will surely have to get busy and
explain to the commission why it has
defied the constitution and set at
naught the achievements of the war of
the revolution in the case of Mr..
Ward and his lack of telephone ser

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Grand.

Last night at the opening perform
ance Of The Norwoods these popular
entertainers proved they are capable
of keeping an audience in an uproar of
laughter for two solid hours. All the
rise of the curtain an impression was
n ade when the audience looked upon
beautiful stage setting of 400 yards
of velvet and the entire performance
was in keeping with it. The antics
through which the subjects were put
were very laughable and put on in a
different way than has ever before been
seen.
The test in mindreading is worthy of
special mention as it is entirely new.
Nothing like it has ever been seen
here before. It seems that they are
capable of doing almost any and every
test that may be suggested to them.
Not a sound is maze and yet the lady
subject does what any person in the
audience may suggest to Mr.. Norwood.
Those who are scientifically inclined
Will find in this test a very great de-
velopment in thought transferrence-
An entire change of program is given
nightly and tonight the performance
N i'll start Immediately after the Pc
ade. For two hours of enjoyment there
is 10 better place to go than to see The

-FOUR HEALTHY CHILDREN.
sad Case of Destitution Relieved by
Orphans Home.

The ladies of the Orphans home de-
sire to call attention to a worthy and
distressing case which recently came
to their notice. Last Wednesday a
woman from Oklahoma called at the
home with her four small children, the
oldest eight years old and the youngest
eight months, two boys and two girls
Her husband had deserted her and
she and the children were entirely des-
titute. Before leaving Oklahoma their
household goods had been sold and all
they brought was two dollars. On ar
irving in Topeka they had nothing but
the clothes they wore. and all the
children were barefOOted. They are a
nice lot of children and all of them
we're perfectly clean The mother call
ed at the home with her four children
and all of them stayed at the home
that night. The next day the mother
found work in the home of Topeka
family and her children are at the
Orphans home for adoption.
If anyone has clothing or shoes to
give to these children they will be
thankfully received. The Orphans
Home association devotes its entire
work to the care of children and the
ladies of the association have to rustic
for the greater part of their main
tenance, as their appropriations are
small.

THEY QUIT IT EARLY.
Navy Department Loses Many Young
Officers by Resignation.

Washington, Sept. 12.-The navy de-
rartnIent has been particularly unfort-
uLate in the designations of young Off
GERS who have just finished their edu-
cation at West Point or Annapolis at
government expense. In the past few
weeks eight or ten miGshipnlen and
ensignS haoe presented their resigna-
tions with reasons sufficient to cause
the department to accept them.
Both the war and navy departments
are periodically confronted with this
question.
The Withdrawal Of young officers from
the service before they have given the
government salue return for their ed
ucation is discouraged by both DEPART
menti. A resignation Is accepted only
when it is believed there exists an inn
pediment to the profitable retention of
the young man. The navy suffers more
than the army as to the number of
reasons which disqualify an officer, one
especial disqualification being suscepti-
Eility to sea sickness which peceSsitates
re~ignation of many young men.
During the oast year it is said at the
var department. very few cadets or
second lieuteEants have presented their
designations. Major General Leonard
Wood. chief of staff of the army. has
refused to permit a lieutenant of the
cavalry to get out of the army to en-
gage in civil pursuits because he was
about to be married. He. however,
granted the young man a three months
leave of absence for his honeymoon

How to s'Shed" A
Bad Complexion

It's foolish to attempt to cover up
or hide a sallow complexion itself.
Rouge and the like on brownish skin
only emphasize the defect. The bet
ter way is to apply pure mercolized
wax-the same as you would cold
cream-putting it on at night. remOv-
ing it in the morning with warm water
and soap, following with a dash Of
cold water. The effect of a few appIi-
cations is simply marvellous. The half
dead cuticle is absorbed by the wax
painlessly, gradually. in tiny impercep-
tible particles-revealing the beautiful
velvety white new skin beneath.
No woman need have a salIow,
blotchy, pimply or freckIed complex
ion if she'll just go to the druggists,
get some good mercolized wax and use
as ggested.=Woman's Realm.

Simple Home Remedy
For Wrinkled Faces

Thousands of women are spending
fortunes in their frantic efforts to re-
move the signs of premature age from
their faces. When in this state of mind
a woman will spend almost any
amount of money on worthless wrinkle
removers, of which there are many.
If these women only knew it, the
most effective remedy imaginable is a
simple, harmless face wash which can
be made up at home in less than a
minute. They have only to get an
ounce of powdered saxolite and half
pint of witch hazel at the drug
store and mix the two. Apply this
daily as a refreshing lotion The ef-
