MARCH IN THE RAIN.
All But Six of the Suffragettes Have
Dropped Out.

Ossining, N. Y, Dec. 1S.-Braving
the rain the six survivors of the COM
pany of suffragettes marching from
New York to Albany bearing mes
sage to Governor Sulzer, prepared to
resume their journey today.
Stiffness of joint and blistered feet,
s -ically denied yesterday, were this
morning frankly -nowledged by the
women when they mustered for the
start. Nevertheless the little band
cheered their leader, Miss Rosalie G..
Jones, as she called them together on
the Albany postroad. PeekskiIl, IL
miles away, was the destination of the
days journey. The roads were muddy,
the sky overcast, the air misty when
the march was resumed.

KILLED BY TRAIN
screen" Carter Fails to Notice
Switch Engine; Run Down.
Was Well Known Resident OF
North Topeka; No Inquest.

Greenbury Carter, 100 West COR
don street, was run over by car ana
killed in the Union Pacific yards at
1915 O'Clock today. The accident oc-
CURED at the crossing at Harrison
street. He started to walk across the
track in front of car and was knock
ed full length on the tracks. He was
more commonly known as Green
Carter and was familiar to almost
everybody in North Topeka and to
many on the South side of the river.
He and his family lived here about
ten years and came from JEFFERSON
county.
Mr.. Carter had been talking to Geo.
". Collins, the crossing watchman,
and the crew on train No. 159 was
switching some cars. The crew had
Kicked car on the house track but IL
stopped on the crossing and the en-
CINE was running up to the car to
shove it over the crossing when the
unfortunate man walked from the
hagman's shanty and crossed the
track. Mr.. Collins and one or two
others saw the engine approaching
ana yelled word of warning. The
old man turned toward the flag sta
ton. The car hit him as he stepped
over the outside rail-
Both trucks of one car and the first
truck of another passed over his body.
The body was mangled beyond identi-
ncat1on. Death was instantaneous.
W. N LOOK ana Engineer
H. c. CrandaIl were in charge of the
train. The cars were showed off the
mangled form and work was suspend
ed until Coroner H. w. Bomgardner
ordered it removed. The body was
sent to Frank r. ConwelIs undertake
ing rooms and later was moved to
Bomgardner's parlors.
Mr.. Carter is survived by his wife
and five children. He has one daugh-
ter, Ada, and three sons in Topeka
me sons are Fay Carter, Jay Carter
and Guy Carter.
Persons who witnessed the accident
DO not blame the trainmen. Every
one who was questioned asserted that
ne had walked across the track and
started back as the engine showed the
car and that he was caught under IT.
Coroner H. w. Bomgardner ques-
toned dozen witnesses. Among them
were the members of the train crew,
George. w. Collins, the crossing flag
man, and a number of persons who
happened to be in that vicinity at the
time. He does not believe that an in
quest will be necessary but has not
given a definite decision

The Masonic lodge at Smith Gem
ter has a souvenir in it's keeping that
no amount of money would buy. A
few years ago ]. R. Burrow, former
prominent citizen Of that city, was at
Jerusalem, and while there visited the
quarries where it is said the rock was
taken out for the building of King
SoIomon's Temple. Mr.. Burrow Sc
cured a small stone direct from the
quarry and had it fashioned into the
maui of a gavel. H, then secured a
piece of wood direct from the cedars
of Lebanon, where the wood for the
temple was secured, and this he had
made into a handle for the gavel.
Upon his return to Smith Center he
presented the gavel in a neat case to
the Masonic lodge of that city. It is
probably the only gavel in existence
created from the same materials from
which the temple of King Solomon
was constructed. It is no wonder
that the members of that lodge prize
the gift above any money considera-
ton and keep it safely guarded among
its most cherished observation-disclosures

TROUBLES
Boys There Must Quit Shooting Craps
or Go to Jail.

There's a startling surprise in store
for the young bloods in Tecumseh If
they persist in holding their Sunday
entertainments on the steps of the
store porch while the villagers go to
church. The constable and another in
terested person made a trip to the
court house today to inquire their
rights and secure advice as to the
method of procedure.
The national pastime in Tecumseh,
according to the story told by the con-
stable, seems to be shooting craps on
the store porch and steps on Sunday.
So bold have the youngsters become
thai they do not cease rolling the
bones while passersby on the way to
church. are within view. Now, it CRATES
greatly upon the nerves of church,
going village to see a crap game in
progress especially on Sunday and
complaint was made to the constable.
Look here one of the churchmen
said, I'VE elected you to enforce the
laws and you amt done blamed
thing to stop this here crap shootin'.'"
The officer explained the situation
to the gamblers much to their merri-
ment. Him arrest them for shooting
craps? Hardly. Didn't he know there
was no state law Or Tecumseh ordi-
nance against shooting craps? He
should post himself"
Thus torn by conflicting emotions
the constable hied himself to Topeka
here to inquire of Assistant County At
torney Mcclure his rights, the law.
and how he should go about it to
stop the dissertation of the Sabbath
and restore the peace and uphold the
dignity of the law in Tecumseh. He
secured in the information desired and
left with the declared intention of
starting something in Tecumseh.

to industrial activity here, high pric-
eS having tendency to check exports
and encourage imports. OF course, we
shall soon have a supply of cotton
bills TO aid the foreign situation, and
the failure of British crops will slim

grain. Our position is made increaS-
ingly favorable by the outlook for an
ether enormous cotton crop, for which
the estimates now exceed 15,000,000
bales. After Labor day we may look
