JUST A FISH STORY
By c. NJ. STANLEY

Washington, May 3o-(Special) in the National Museum in the Mall they have on exhibition the skeleton of a fish from Alabama such as is not found now adays in East Lake or Lake Como or even in the Tennessee compsny's reservoir, and it is specimen that even such re- nowned Alabama fishermen as Percy Clark or Dick Eggleston or even Bill Vines would have difficulty in landing with rod and reel.
 In the first place this fish's skeleton is 55 feet long. In the second place they say it's name is Basilosaurus Cetoides however. by which it Is generally known and this is Zeuglodon.
 Alabama is always boasting about tho diversification of it's resources, but this is one of which we nave been accus-
 
 footstep followers of Jesus. Then, as csns of of God. they would have all the priv iieges of senship in this present tiine as we'll as the glorious prospects here after.
 Vain Expeditions of the Heather
 All are heathens, or Gentiles, who have not left the world and come into cove nant t-reIationship with God through Christ Such outsiders vainly suppose that they will be heard for their mucn speaking, and therefore repeat their pray. CTS, Some use praying wheels; others use beads: and still others repeat hundreds of times certain calculations None are heard save disciples, and Jesus counsss these not to think that the length of their prayers will make them acceptable with the Father. Your Father knoweth what. things ye have need of before ye ask Him" Why then should we ask at al,7 Because this is the divine arrangement. and evidently with the purpose of stinu- ;ating our faith and of giving US the greater and the nose frequent blessings When Jesus had long prayers to offer they were never uttered in public; He went apart into the mountain
 So with His followers; they are to go aside and have their communion with the Father chiefly in private, although fel iowshp in public prayer in gatherings of the Lords people is distinctly approved.
 A Form of Sound Words
 Responding to the request of His disci- ples Jesus gave sample of a proper rrayer. We note its brevity, it's simpliei- ty. its directness, it's orderliness.
 d) It opens with an ascription of praise and plea that we are coming as chi- cren to a Father: Our Father which art in Heaven. hallowed (adored, honorea) he Thy Name"
 (2) Next in order we acknowledge the divine rule. authority This expresses ouc | onfdence in the divine power and prou.- ise that ultimately the divine will shall te as fully done in the earth as it is now done in heaven: Thy Kingdom Come. Thy will be done on earth. as 1t is done m heaven. In this we recognize tho coming of Messiah's Kingdom and indi- recty our own hopes connected with thet

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. May 30.-Cotton futures opened quiet and steady, unchanged to 2 points up, compared with yesterdays close. There was little business done In the early morning hours. Liverpool was somewhat better than due. The absence of weather reports owing to the holiday over a large part of the country served to cause both sides to hold off. Private re- ports told of good weather over the great CT part of the belt. Crop reports were favorable. Shorts, however were more inclined to cover than to increase their commitments, and at the end of the first half hour of business prices were to points up.
 The list was dull but steady during the forenoon. No pressure to sell was in eyl- dence at any time All offerings were readily absorbed. The demand appeared to be about evenly distributed between the two accounts at times and at others to come principally from the score of the short sides. Portions of Mississippi and Texas sent in word that fields were suf- fering from want of rain.
 In the trading up to midday the most active months were put to points over yesterdays quotations.
 In the afternoon the list was feature less. Half an hour before the close the market was 2 to points over yesterdays s finals.

for New Members

Decision was made this noon to hold a
reception and smoker for the new mem
bers of the Commercial club in the club
parlors a week from tonight. 1t will be
the biggest affair that has been held in
the club rooms thus far this season.
There will be music. cigars, and light re-
freshments, and very jovial time will
be had.
What we want is to get the fellows to
mix up-to get acquainted" said s. ].
Hodgins, who will probably be the next
president of the Commercial club
The members Of the Fighting Twenty
and the "Heavyweight'' team will act
as a reception committee, and all of the
old members of the club are expected to
be present to give the recruits the glad
hand and make them feel that they are
wanted in the club.
There will be no tiresome addresses
Secretary J. VIII Kelley will make few
remarks, and probably the new president
of the club who will be chosen later this
week, will have something TO say.
The committee in charge of the arrange
ments for the smoker is composed Of
George Godfrey Moore. E. w. Rankin
Luther Bailey, Sam Zimmerman and S. +.

is adopted, the club as distinct Or

next meeting of the club Mr.. Burge
will propose that the club be CONSOLE

that the latter form an advertising de-

IN many other Cities said Mr.
Burge such consultations have been
successfully carried out and believe
II would be advisable to make the
change here. There are at present
number of persons who are members
Of the Ad club and not of the Com

of both organizations and are paying

1t Would Help Both.

Der of the Ad club gave me a Com
mercia1 club membership contingent
upon this consolidation. The consol1-
dation would be a benefit to the men
who belong to both the Ad club and
the Comm ercial club. The attendances
at the advertising meeting would be
larger Every man in Topeka who
advertises in any manner whatever,
should be interested in making study
of scientific advertising"
The Topeka Advertising club has
been a live institution that has done
much for the city. To this organiza-
ton is due the credit for the reoEgan-
ization of the Commercial club nearly
three years ago.

Bell Company Buys Out the In
dependent.
Consolidation Agreed Upon Ex-
cept in Details.

The State Journal states. upon what
it believes to be good authority, that
the Bell Telephone company of Topeka
has purchased the Independent Tele-
phone company and will merge the two
Topeka exchanges into one.
This information comes through the
Leavenworth Post. Leavenworth is also
interested in combination of ex-
changes, but It is not known whether
the deal here will affect Leavenworth
or not.
Telephone people deny today that such
is the fact. It is nevertheless believed
that the negotiations have been COM
pleted, or practically so. leaving only
a few minor details to be agreed upon
before the merger is in effect.
It will be remembered that last
week a number of Independent ex-
changes in southern Nebraska were
acquired by the Bell company and it is
known that negotiations for CONSOLE
dalton have been going on at Topeka,
Lawrence, Kansas City, Missouri and
other points.

TARIFF REAL ISSUE
Having Chosen Paramount Issue
VIII Bryan Tell Slogan"

Columbia, S. c.. Jan. 15.-''The tariff
question is the one that is the most
talked about and have no doubt il
will occupy a prominent place in the
campaign, but the Democratic party
cannot ignore the fact that back of
the tariff, back of the trusts and back
of the railroads stand the Wall street
oligarchy, as heartless as a band of pi-
rates and as despotic as the car OF
the sultan ever were. And that is why
am not willing that J. Pierpont Nor
gan pick out the Dem ocratic candi-
date"
This was William J. Bryan's reply
when asked what he regarded as the
principal issues IN the approaching
presidential campaign.

Scott Hopkins Would Cancel
State Paving Claim.
And Remove City Library Build
ing to New Site.
WHITE WAY LAMPS
Could Be Installed to Complete
Illumination Plan.
Double Row for Entire Square Is
Suggested.

A move in the direction of having
the state house dome ard GROUNDS bril-
liantly lighted was started today by
Scott Hopkins, a member of the light
ing committee of the Commercial club
1T wouldn't be a bad idea" said
Mr.. Hopkins, for the city to cancel its
paving claim of long standing amount
ing to approximately $4,000, in case
the state would agree to light the state
house dome and remove the city hhra-
ry with a view to identifying the state
house square by the installation of a
double line of white way lights ex-
tending completely around the proper
ty.
1.-The state would furnish the juice
for the illumination of the dome of the
capitol and for lighting the inner line
Of white way burners. It would nat
uraily be the city that would PROVIDE
for the lighting of the outer row OF
fixtures.
"A double row of lights would at
tract more attention than the lighting
system of any capitol square in the
country. The state house at Maolson'
Wis, has a reputation for its beauty
but there is no comparison with our
natural surroundings
1T is the opinion of the city library
MANAGEMENT that the present site OF
the building is not desirable IN the
first place because it is low and damp,
perty."
No action was taken by the members
Of ehe lighting committee but the mem
hers expressed themselves as approving
of the idea
The meeting of the committee was
called by the chairman, W. w. Webb
for the purpose of discussing the pro-
position of installing large Topeka
electric signs at the Santa Fe, ROCK
Island and Union Pacific depots-
E. L. Overton, who was present al
the meeting agreed to make an esti-
mate of the cost of the installation,
and he will present the figures at a
meeting of the committee which will be
held Thursday noon.
Clarence Hall, Samuel r. Lux and
A. r. Coulson were appointed as a
subcommittee to present the PROPOSE
ton to the board of directors of the
club Friday noon. The board Will be
asked to defray the expenses of in
stallation, and the city will furnish
the juice.
At the Santa Fe a big sign will be
stretched across Fifth street, at the
Rock Island station the sign Will go
across Jackson street, and at the I'm
ion Pacific across Kansas avenue.

NOT A VOTE BOUGHT.
Senator Loriner Says Supporters Were
Moved by Other Considerations.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Lori
mer continued before the Senate inves-
tigating committee today his story of
the motives which caused So Demo-
Gratis to break a deadlock and vote for
him for senator. When the COMMITTEES
took recess on Friday Senator Lori
mer had got about half way down the
list of the 10S legislators who cast their
ballots for him.
Today he repeated his declaration
that every man who voted for him did
so for personal friendship to break the
deadlock or to beat former Senator
Albert j. Hopkins and that no one had
been paid any money or promised any
thing OF value to vote for him.

UPHOLDS THE LAW.
United states Supreme Court Sustains
the Employers Liability Statute.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The consti-
tutionality of the employers liability
law passed by congress in 1908 today
was upheld by the supreme court in
all cases before it. The court also de-
cided that state courts may enforce
pirate.
This was the second and finally sue
cessful attempt of congress to change
the old common law rule that an en-
ployee of common carrier could not
procure damages from the carrier for
when the injuries resulted from the
negligence of a fellow servant. The
first law, that enacted in 1906, was
declared unconstitutional in 1908 be-
cause it embraced within its terms a
regulation of intrastate as well as in
terstate commerce.
The opinion was announced by JUS
tice Vandevanter.
The decision was unanimous and q
complete victory for the government
on every point. The case has been
under advisement since last February.
Justice Vandevanter declared that
congress had the right to regulate the
relation of interstate railroads to
their employees. Congress had not
gone beyond its power by abrogating
the common law rule that an employer
was not liable for the injuries result
ing to employees by the negligence of
fellow servants, he said.
mo one had a vested property right
in the common law said the justice
He found that the present law did not
regulate intrastate commerce and
therefore was not Objectionable on
in the fact that the act did away with
the doctrine of assumption of risk
by employers and restricted the doc
trine of "contributory negligence"

this agreement the board afterwards
adopted the following:
BE it resolved. by the board Of
county commissioners of Shawnee
county, Kansas, that, Tor good cause
shown and upon recommendation of
the county attorney, and it appearing
to the board that thereby justice Will
be done, that the fine and costs here
tofore assessed against ID. @. Tillotson
in the case of State of Kansas VS.. D.
c. Tillotson, be and the same are here
by RENTED, and it is therefore so
ordered by this board Commission
ers' Journal n. page 81"
THAT ended the case except as it
has since been used for political pur-
poses only. It will be observed that
the commissioners instead OF giving
the true history of this case as shown
by the record, simply drew on their
imagination while hot under the col
lar.
Will They Make Good Loss?
From the comments of my friends.
the county commissioners, I realize
that they suffer most poignant grief
over the high taxes they have levied
upon this community Now, for the
purpose of alleviating their profound
sorrow I make them this proposition:
If they will pay into the county treas
ury the $22, 500 which they lost to the
county through their miSmanage ment
of the Missouri Pacific stock deal,
will donate to the county treasury the
sum it may have lost through the set
tlement of the Tiliotson case.
But they say the tax league is
hurting the county. That is the cry
of delinquent officials always and
everywhere. The tax league is re-
sponsible for turning on the light; it
is not responsible for what the light
reveals. The best way public Off
cial can contribute to the upbuilding
of the community is to so conduct his
office as to bear the closest scrutiny.
Publicity is the upright ofhciaPs best
protection. Our governor has shown
his wisdom in approving and encour-
aging the formation Of taxpayers
leagues, and our local officials would
do we'll to understand that they are
not beyond criticism
