in the above-named three instances.
THE Tumor is even being circulated
that Mr.. Morgan and others are secretly
behind me in the present fight and, in
some roundabout way, are furnishing the
money that is being used. This is down
right falsehood. There is not scintilla
of truth in it.
1.-The recent publication of the harvester
correspondence was clearly done, first, to
make scurrilous attack upon Mr.. Roose-
welt; second, to connect me, through the
harvester company, with the RooseVelt
campaign; third to affect the Masss-
chusetts primaries.
I'm spite of the fact that the senate
several days before, had called for the
correspondence from 1904 down to date
your candidate deliberately caused to be
given out only one years correspond
ence."
The letter challenges the administration
to publish all its correspondence with the
harvester company during the last II
months.

HE GOES TO JAIL
Harry Griffin Forgot Wife's
Needs When With Affinity.
Ina B. CIute Said to Have Won
His Heart.

Harry H. Griffin, who spent his
earnings to entertain an Enid, Ok,
affinity, must answer to the Shaw
nee county district court for failure
to provide for his wife in Topeka.
Griffin was held for trial today, fol-
lowing his preliminary examination
in Judge Garvers court on a felony
charge.
Pretty Eva Griffin exhibited to the
court a bundle of soft, endearing let
tiers which the Enid woman wrote to
her husband. Griffin acted as his own
lawyer in the trial of the case and
he objected most Justify to a display
of the love notes. But the court
thought they should go in the rec
ords and Mrs. Griffin-to save time
told of some of the fond expressions
her rival used in addressing her legal
companion.
Ina B. Clute, an a ttractive Enid
widow, with a winning smile and a
half-nelson on the choicest terms of
affection in Webster's dictionary, SO
Mrs. Griffin says, is the person who
led her husband astray. Griffin was
an agent for a popular magazine. He
earned good wages Somehow he
found Enid a prosperous field and
the letters to his wife in Topeka be-
came less frequent. Then Griffin be-
gan to drop his former terms of ten
suspicious. So she went to Enid.
In Enid the landlady refused to
permit Mrs. Griffin to visit her hus-
bands rooms. But Mrs Griffin mixed
her natural attractions with cunning
and shrewdness and visited Griffin's
room in his absence. There she learned
the truth. A great pile of letter from
the other woman" told the story.
MY dear Husband the Enid rival
wrote to Griffin, you ask me II !
am willing to live by you, live with
you and live for you? Well, 1 guess
am That was only one. There
were long pages of endearment that
ranked in Mrs. Griffins heart as she
read the letters that caused her sleep
less nights when she returned to To-
peka. Your wife, Ina" was the way
most of the letters closed Again
Griffin's new soul mate merely ended
the letters as Lovingly, Ina
When Mrs. Griffin returned to To-
peka, things began TO happen. They
happened so fast that the husband
himself came here to see how things
were progressing. Then he was ar
rested for non-support. Griffin told
the county attorney that he himself
was some bit of a lawyer and re-
served the constitutional right to pre-
sent his own case. This he did. But
to no avail.
On the witness stand, Mrs. Griffin
said she had lived for several weeks
through the kindness and sympathy of
her friends. She wanted judgment
for $12 a week for her support and
said that Griffin was able to pay this
amount. The woman was married to
Griffin in Baltimore five years ago.
Not until a year ago, when the couple
came to Topeka, did the young woman
feel that her companions love was
slipping.

be finally disposed of at the Sep

Chicago, April 29-WHEAT-Heavy
rains southwest caused a sudden reversal
OF sentiment in the wheat market today
to the bear side. Foreign news and other
contrary influences seemed to attract no
attention, traders turning for guidance
almost exclusively to the weather map
ana to dispatches from Kansas and
neighb oring states. Opinion was general
that the rain practically assured a crop
OF nlenty million bushels in Kansas. Bus
mess in wheat here was unusually active.

Subsequently big decrease in the Unit

CORN-There was no pressure to sell
corn. That cereal accordingly developed
firm tone. Commission houses were fair

of wet weather delay to farm work but

Crowd Yells Approval.

Rev. David Lyon breaches
"FarewelI'' Sermon.
But Pastor Makes No Reference
to His Leaving.
TALKS ABOUT RIVER JORDAN
Tells Interesting Facts Regard
ing Historical Stream.
Other Items of Interest on the
North Side.

Rev David Lyon, pastor of the Cen
trail Avenue Christian church, last
night at the church preached fare
welI'' sermon which was not farewell
although this was his last appearance
In that pulpit. He recently resigned.
The church was packed. The unusually
large congregation was partly due to
the fact that a sermon bearing on his
going was expected and partly many,
bv their presence, wished to show their
good will However the retiring pastor
made no reference to his leaving or TO
any local condition
A feature of the service was the sing
ing of Crossing the Bar" by Mrs
David Gabriel Miss Edith Gabriel,
music student at K. u, gave piano
accompaniment of her own compost
ton.
Rev. Mr.. Lyons subject was THE
Jordan He told interesting physical
and historical facts about the stream
He also said that the reason that the
grave of Moses was never revealed was
to keep the Israelites from embalming
and worshiping his body.
His sermon in part follows:
THE larger part of the Jordan is be-
low sea level. 1t empties into the Dead
Sea which is 1900 feet below sea level.
The river from the lake of Gal1lee, a
distance of sixty-seven miles, following
the Ddnk or SlAty-S6NSA Hl1ASS III q
straight line, has a fall of SO feet.
Mountains on either side of the val
lev rise to as high as 5000 feet. The
valley proper is described as tropical
oasis in a temperate zone. The valley
abounds in tropical fruits.
THE Jordan is interesting historical
". as it is the scene of the crossing of
the Hebrews fleeing from Egyptian
bondage, and then the waters rose in
a wall to let the people pass. 1t is the
scene of the baptism of Jesus by John
the Baptist. On that occasion sounded
the voice of Jehovah, breaking the
silence of fifteen hundred years"
Closes With Poem.
Rev. Lyon closed with the following
poem:
Some time when all life's lessons have
been learned
And sun and stars for ever more have
set,
The things which our weak judgments
here have spurned,
The things DER which we grieve with
lashes wet,
Shall flash before US, out of Deaths
AS stars shine most in deepest tints Of
blue.
Then shall we know how all Gods
plans are right,
And what seemed reproof was love

Regardless of continued heaviness and
apathy elsewhere on the stock market to-
day Lehigh Valley rose to 1908, higher
than at any recent period, and Reading
reached 1855; the movement in these
stocks seemed to be of the same specula-
tive character that which marked last
weeks unexplained advances. Board
room sentiment was undeniably influenced
by impending events, political and indus
trial.
Aside from the coalers advance prac-
tically all other gains were limited to I'M
important inactive stocks. while
standard issues were either lower or sta
tionary.

Initial prices at the opening of the stock
market today reflected further heaviness

decidedly irregular with an early frac-
tioanl rise soon giving way to slight
decline. Lehigh Valley rose a full point
soon after the opening with a similar
gain for American Sugar.
Further pressure was directed against
