Kansas Roads.

r H MiIligan, who is driving from
San Francisco to New York and back

And let me tell YOU, said Mllilgah'
cts the way to spend vacation.
7 advise everybody to do it; roads are
good and travelling easy. We fry
chickens. steal Watermelons. camp
out. and have the time of our lives.
Milligan paid a huge tribute to the
Kansas roads. :,
They're better than any I've seen,
he said. 1.-The farmers keep them up
fine It's a joy to ride on them. The
signs erected by the Topeka Automo-
bile club help a lot. We made Inc
run from Kansas City to Topeka in
three hours and twenty minutes. The
roads in Missouri, by the way, are H. g.
Iowa comes next to Kansas OF course
the highways in the east are good, but
all macadam: there's nothing so fine
as a good dirt road

THEY ARE WAITING.
shawnee Candidates VIII Make NO
Move Till Committees Act.

So far the Republican county candl-
dates have not been notified of an assess
ment made against them by either OF the
two Republican county central commit
tees and they are waiting until such OF
fetal notification before taking any iur-
Their action When such action VIII Dc
taken is not known. The Candidates at
least will make further move until
notified of the assessments
Sentiment against such an assessment
from either of the committees, in the hght
of the split is growing among the com
mon ordinary voters who do not unoer-
stand what the committee would do with
so large a sum, see the value OF the
committees work requiring such an as
sessment as is proposed
This year both committees are more or
less busy with the state campaign out
side speakers of any reputation all are
taking sides with one committee or tne
other The fractional fight in the state
campaign is injuring the RepuDllcan
county candidates and this SITUATION Is
| admitted by all sides. The voters do NOT
see why the candidates should be COM
PEELED to put up exorbitant sums TO com
| mittee and then make personal cam
paigns besides. - J.,
Just now the situation is "statu quo.
| IT will probably remain that way until
| the candidates are notified by one or the
other-or both-the committees that tney
! have been assessed. Then there Will be a
meeting of the candidates and some pan
of action will be mapped out.

CAN Be NO FORFEIT.
Judge Dana So Decides in Case of
Iapscd Witness Fees.

Fees earned by witnesses and others
arc never forfeited to the county I'M
der a decision rendered by Judge A. w.
Dana this morning. The decision was
in the case of G. E. Carpenter against
the board of county commissioners in
which the court was asked to compel
the board to allow the payment of
fees that had been allowed to remain
in the hands of the district clerk for
more than year.
Judge Dana held that statute pro-
viding that fees, after being held a
wear. should be turned in to the coun-
ty treasurer meant merely a change
in the custodian, but not that such
fees were forfeited. He held further
that if il was the intention of the leg
islature to forfeit such fees, such an
act would be unconstitutional.
mo property should be taken from
any person unless he has his day in
court" the court ruled. 1T is the opin-
ion of the court that the provision to
turn over such fees into the county
treasury merely meant a change of Gus
todian.'
The decision will complicate the sit
uation for the county, and will mean
the loss of several thousands of dollars
of fees earned paid into court and
never called for. if the owners now
come forward and claim them. which
have been turned into the county
funds.

ed w. w Webb. who will have charge
of the parade. that while the parade
is moving no cars will run along the
short line of march.
Sunday Was the Only Day.
The men present at the meeting
Friday night unanimously favored
holding the parade Sunday afternoon,
although protests had come in from
the w. G. T. Z. and one or two other
sources. It was explained that Sunday
is the only day that it is possible to
get out of town delegations to come
to the capital city, and that the local
merchants favored Sunday because it
works a hardship to take the time to
participate in the parade in business
hours. The picture that is taken will
go out over the country advertising
the first annual meeting of the Kansas
State Automobile association.
There will be many out of town cars
here. Several towns have been heard
from and others will send delegations
although they have not sent formal
acceptance of the invitation to join in
the parade

Usage City saying that a cavalcade of
autos will be in from that place.
President d. z. Watkins stated at the
meeting Friday night that there would
be four cars here from Kansas City,

has been steadily growing so that
now there is scarcely a day passes

It Is self evident there must be I'M
usual merit in DR.. Johnson's treat

deniable proof that our treatment is
successful lies lin the fact that our
practice grows larger every year and
this in a great measure is due to our
former patients and relatives of for
mer patients telling their friends just
what our treatment is and what it has
done for them and theirs, and what it
will do for ohers'' The Doctors
Com biaation Treatment is a medical
treatment, internal and external, and
so effective that severe cases of long
standing have been quickly cured,
many of them after being told the only
hope was to go on the operating table

Made Mistake in Working for Woman
Brewer, Manager Says.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 21.-'The
only mistake I made in connection
with the Milwaukee baseball club was
in ever accepting employment from

when Mr.. Havenor died"
That in its essential is the state
ment given out by Hugh Duffy, mana
ger of the Milwaukee baseball team,
in explanation of his dismissal from
the local managership by Mrs. Have

CLAD WOOD LOST
Now for the Worlds Series,
StahI's Men Cry.
Former Kansas Pitcher Quar-
relied With Umpire Friday.

Detroit Mich, Sept. 21.-When Joe
wood. the star pitcher of the Boston
American League team, had his record
winning streak of 16 straight games
broken by Detroit here yesterday, more
than one teammate breathed a sigh of
relief. Players who had fought fiercely
in an effort to help Wood to surpass
the league record for consecutive vic
tories now held Jointly by Wood a1n
Walter johnson of the washington
club. were ready to admit after yes
terday's game that the defeat bright
ened the chances of their most sue
cessfuI pitcher and the team for VIC
tory in the coming worlds series.
That the strain of preventing a de-
feat since early in July had made
noticeable impression upon Wood, was
considered certain. Throughout yester-
DAVIS battle he continually argued over
pitched balls with Umpire OLoughlln
and both the umpire and players 1elt
that Wood acted in a manner racheI
unusual In one inning he passed -FOUR
successive batters.
Now for the worlds SERIES" appear
cd to be the slogan of StahIs men,
after yesterdays defeat. They felt that
Wood would have denied himself rest
while his winning streak was unbFoken,
and that each successive game Wouiu
have allowed the strain of victory to
ing struggle for the premier title IN
ba sebau.
Evers Can't Sec Wood.
New York. Sept. 21.-"All we hear IS
how Joe Wood is going to put it all
over the Giants in the worlds series
said Johnny Evers, the Cubs peppery
second baseman; but do you know,
really believe the Giants will find
Wood easier than Ray Collins the Red
Sox's southpaw. Wood has an over
hand delivery with speed, and believe
me. the Giants can kill that kind Oh
pitching It's the side arm delivery
with a good curve ball that has the
New Workers up in the air
The Giants are not playing good bail
now and they haven't been up to their
best standard since July. But when
they tackle the Red Sox 1 believe they
will take a mighty brace. Tesreau is
a great pitcher and ought to prove
big stumbling block, but take it from
me. the good old Mr.. Matty Will be
in there using his noodle as in former
years. When it comes to pitching for
the coin in the worlds series, give me,
a heady guy, a nervy guy and a cool
guy like Sir Christopher.

This is the largest registration in
the history of the city. But it is felt
that the vote Tuesday will be the
smallest in years.
The ballot for the bond vote is one
yard long. If a voter attempts 20
read all of the propositions it will take
fully twenty minutes to vote. The
easiest way to be prepared for =
quick vote Tuesday is to read the ar
ticles as printed in the legal column
of the state Journal.
= The list of bridges to be rebuilt will
be found there.
It is estimated by the city commits
sioners that Topeka's old broken down
and weakened bridges will cost the
city more than a bond issue if the
election does not pass Tuesday. Dam
age suits, drainage board orders, and
constant repairing will equal the
$145,O0O bond issue in a short time.
From an economical standpoint, the
issue is recommended and pushed by
the commissioners.
The polls open at O'Clock in the
