ST. JOHN WILL NOT RUN.
Ex-Governor Has No Intention of
Running for Congress.

Former Governor John P. st. John
is much exercised over the report
that he will be a candidate for con-
gress from the Second district, and
denies the story emphatically. He
would not have the nomination as
gift, he says, nor would he go to con-
gress if elected. He refers to the re-
port as Topeka story when in
fact it was given out from Emporia
by a prohibition worker high in the
councils of Mr. st. Johns own party.
The denial of the former governor is
sent out under an Olathe date line as
follows:
John P. St John, former governor
denial of the report that originated in
Topeka that he probably would be a
candidate for the Democratic nominal
ton to represent the Second district
in congress. Governor St John said
he had had enough in the way of Of
fees and that as he is now Is years
old he would not again be candi-
date for any office. Having been gov
ernor of Kansas and the prohibition
ist nominee for president was suf-
ficient honor for him, he asserted.
He formerly was a Democrat, but
now is a prohibitionist- He gave out
the following signed statement:
Il have not heard of an effort to
get Democrats to agree on me as
their candidate Tor congress from the
Second congressional district The
statement wired from Topeka that
probably will be a candidate is abso-
Iutely without foundation 1 am not a
by any party. I would not accept the
nomination and under no circum-
stances will I be a candidate for con-
gress or any other office"

HOME COMING OF KANsANs.
Major t. j. Anderson Writes a Per-
sonal Invitation.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Since our dear Kansas assembled
from its territorial strifes to a sister
state in the constellation CT states, fifty
years ago, there have come and stayed
for a considerable period at least
500, 600 people, who participated in the
struggles and privations of our devel-
opment for years. They, like my par
ents and myself, came to Kansas as of
old their fathers crossed the sea, to
make the west, far more than the east,
the homestead of the free.
They finally drifted, through neces-
sity and allurements, tt Oklahoma,
Colorado, California, Missouri and the
Dakotas, and some drifted back east,
all in search of more enticing OppOr-
tunities. They all loved Kansas. 1
knew or have seen many of them, and
I have met some of them wherever I
went since they left Kansas. Nearly
every town and city from the shores of
the Atlantic to the sunset shores of the
Pacific, and from AlaSka'S and British
Columbia's frozen zones and spirit
lakes to the tropical gulf and els
Atlantic waters even unto the archi-
pelago, has now as residents some for
mer Kansans.
We loved them when they were
with US, bearing the burdens OF those
and now, in the glow and glory of our
great prosperity and peerless develop
ment Astounding with delightful joy
among all original settlers and valiant
citizens, who made Kansas by helping
each other, and never despairing of
the honor integrity and helpfulness of
any of this grand army of original
Kansans, who were always optimistic
under all embarrassm ents- and saw
good in everyone and everything, and
they built the best state by and with
the best people on earth.
We want all of these living form er
Kansans with us at this celebration of
our Semi-centennial, during our great
state soldiers and sailors reunion, who
were the men, and their devoted wom-
en- that settled Kansas and defended
and developed it into a gigantic COM
monwealth. We want them with us
at the cornerstone laying Of our his
toric Kansas State Soldiers and Sail
ors' Memorial Hall and Historical
building, erected by the state at a cost
of over 100000. That is of such a
nation-w wide, yea worldwide. import
ance that the president, w. H. Taft,
is coming from the White House to lay
the cornerstone and to deliver the
semi-centennial address on the history
of Kansas for over SO years, and on
the soldiers and sailors that made it
what it is.
We ardently and most urgently in
vite all former KanSans to this, our
glorious reunion and semi-centennial
celebration
Now that Kansas fame is spreading
To remotest parts of earth.
| And the sister gems around her
Love to point with pride her worth;
Come visit US again, love,
Your first sweethe cart so true;
Come see how we've grown above
| Old scared times so blue;
Come do not hesitate,
Come and get the best n state.
THOS. ]. ANDERSON.

The engine, instead of resting in the
rear of the aviator's seat, is fixed to
one side.
Lincoln Beachey afforded excite
ment to the crowds for more than an
hour by circling high over the city,
at times almost lost to view in the
hazy sky The air was not so uneven
high up Everybody stood on tip toe
as Beachey swept down before the
grandstand with a dead engine that
had stopped with him at a height of
5000 feet. The aeroplane made
long circular glide, so steep that one
could see between the planes. The
angle became sharper and sharper I'M

Stone Tells How 1t Feels
Chicago, Aug. 17.-Arthur Stone. the
aviator, who fell into Lake Michigan
with his airship Wednesday from a
height of more than one thousand feet,
narrowly escaping death, told how II

his first thoughts were after striking
the water.

isn't it, when one is facing death, but
that was my first thought.
My next thought was, I've got to
swim because those mutton heads won't
see me. I acted on that second thought
and padded the water at a rate that
would have done credit to an old lake
packet.
when I stop to think how close :

makes me quake. 1 noticed something
was wrong with my machine after I
had made the first turn on the second

Thomas Sopwith had completed the
second lap of the race and been de-
clared winner when a cry arose that
Stones machine had fallen into the
water and that the aviator was
drowned. Later it was reported that
Stone flOated and then a rumOr that

Then Robinson, hydro-aeroplane
pilot of the Curtiss team, darted in
and said that he had been unable to
find any trace of the missing aviator.
At this Mrs. Stone began to weep.
She turned the child to a friend.
Here, take the baby she exclaim-

As Mrs. Stone darted out from a
group of friends an automobile came
in from the lake with the assurance
that her husband had been rescued
and merely had a ducking.

First Thrill of the Day.
Howard Gill, Of the Wright team,
furnished the first thrill of the day
when his machine, suddenly checked
as it skinned over the ground after
landing tOppled over with terrific
force. Gill was piniOned for an instant
between tangled wires and canvas of
the baby Wright. He probably owes
his life to the new feature of the con-
! struction in the baby Wright biplanes.
