RAIN IS GENERAL
Most of Kansas Is Water
Soaked Again.
Dodge City and Topeka Get
Heaviest Precipitation.

Another soaking rain was more or
less general over Kansas late Wednes-
day and early Thursday morning. The
precipitation in Topeka up to $3.50
this morning was .65 of an inch. The
Santa Fe reports heavy rainfall be-
tween Dodge City and Kinsley, and
precipitation that measured about
half inch in southern and southeastern
Kansas. 1t is reported that there was
no rain between st. John and Emporia.
The Rock Island reports light show
ers all over Kansas on their lines.
The first sprinkle in Topeka occur
red at 2:30 O'Clock this morning. By
4 o'clock a thunder storm had de-
veloped which awakened sound sleep
ers, and caused them to close down
windows where the rain was driven in
by the wind.
''This is a fine rain,'' said Sunny
Flora today-"the kind that it takes to
make crops. The stage of the river is
the same as yesterday, 81 feet. Prac-
tically all of the water has soaked into
the ground.
-Four years ago today 2.o2 inches of
rain fell. This is a wet time of year.
month of June is 4.S1 inches. There
has been 2.75 inches thus far this
month-somewhat above normal
There is scarcely a county in the
state where rain is needed at the pres
ent time. Consequently crop prospects
are good.
Unsettled weather is expected tonight
locally but Friday is expected to be gem
orally fair.
The government report shows that rain
was general over the state. Here are
some of the figures:

Forty in One Day.
President Taft gained 40 more votes
in the Republican national convention
Wednesday, through the settlement of
contest cases by the national commit
tee.
1t was a day of Taft victories ex-
clusively. In the cases of the Califor-
mia, Arizona and Michigan contests,
the Roosevelt forces made a fight and
Taft delegates. In the California case
they secured roll call, losing, 16 to
81; in the Arizona contest they failed
to get a roll call and in the Michigan
case none was asked, although they
voted against seating the Taft dele
The contests settled in favor of
President Taft were:

Her Husband Represents Her.
Chicago, June 13.-Mrs. Isabella w.
Blaney, one of the two women delegates
chosen in California, will not attend the
convention, according to golden state
representatives, who are already ON the
ground Mrs. Blaney is said to have
given her place to her husband, Chas.
Blaney, highway commissioner, of the
state.
Mrs Hiram w. Johnson, wife of the
governor, said here last night that Mrs.
Blaney was too ill to make the trip
to Chicago and acting on the advice
of her physician, had decided to stay
at home
Mrs. Florence Collins Porter, of Los
Angeles, the other delegate, is expect
ed to arrive here on the special Cali
fornia train on Saturday.
There is said to be considerable dis
appointment among women suffragists
because of the inability of Mrs. Blaney
to attend, the claim being made that
there are no women delegates to spare.
Army of Song Writers Busy.
That an army of song writer's are
busy in an effort to put forth produc-
tions which will make campaign hits
is evidenced by the fact that daily about
half a ton of such material is distribu-
ted at the headquarters of the
various candidates.
An extra man is kept busy at the
rooms of each candidate in disposing
of the discarded music.
A few titles of the inspiring bits that
the song writers have put forward are:

the State Journal nearly two months
ago but at that time no definite date
was set. Since the reorganization of
the mechanical department of the
Santa Fe and since all mechanical mat
ters have been turned into regular
channels following the resignation Of
j. w. kendrick and the death of w.
T. Buck, the resignation of Mr.. Jacobs
has been accepted by the vice presi-
dent, w. b. Storey, Jr. Before that
time even though. Mr.. Jacobs resigna-
tfon was before the Santa Fe heads
they would not listen to his departure
until the reorganization.
The details of Mr.. Jacobs, future
work have not been made public If
is known, however, that he will enteI
quite prominently several big engineer
ing propositions in this country and
that his headquarters will be in tha
east.
When the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railway procured the services of
H. w. Jacobs six years ago they found
a man who has resulted in one of the
greatest assets to the mechanical de-
partment of the road and who has done
wonders with his special work. bonus
work, shop practices and methods. He
came to the Santa Fe with several
original ideas along these lines and ne
worked them out with such signal sue
cess that men he brought with him to
Topeka have gone into commercial
work with their Jacobs training and
have made astounding success.
For instance here are a few sam
pies: o. ]. Morrison, who is a leading
engineer with the well known firm Of
accountants, Suffern & Co.; Bruce w.
Benedict, an instructor in the Univer-
sity of Illinois; Julian Sydnor with the
Goodyear Rubber company; Paul b.
Sweet, who went to the Curtis Pub
T.IN /.
Jones & Laughlin, Pittsburg; William
H. Edgcombe, with the Rumley COM
pany in Indiana.
Mr.. Jacobs as assistant superintend-
end of motive power of the Santa Fe,
has handled many inventions of great
interC st to his road and to other rail-
reads in the country. His mechanical
devices are in use all over the country.
In addition he has perfected what ~
known as the Jacobs-Shupert fire-box
which is receiving world wide attention
in its tests in the east at this time. He
has designed a multiplane which is be-
ing built at this time.
H. w. Jacobs will be great loss to
the Santa Fe railway. He will be q
missing cog in the well organized ma
chfnery that he has assisted in build
ing But he leaves behind him many
mechanical men that he brought to the
Santa Fe-men who have made excel
lent records and who are holding posi-
tions of Importance in Topeka and
along the lines.
His life work as outlined in the Santa
Fe ''Blue-Book," reads:
Born in 1874. Educated in night
technical schools and through cores
pondence schools. From 1888 until 1894
he served his apprenticeship with the

Dixon dared the Taft managers to be

Roosevelt leader who is reported to
have offered a bribe to a delegate in
Alabama and the name of the man

lines of battle have been so sharply
drawn and such high feeling aroused
a finish. Taft supporters were more
confident than ever after yesterday s
victory in the contests and freely
reiterated their predictions of the re-
nomination of the president on the
first ballot. Roosevelt managers de-
clared their candidate would have the
necessary $40 to secure the nomination
on the first ballot.
No Choice on First Ballot.
The followers of Senator Cummins
of Iowa and Senator LaFollette of
Wisconsin are saying there will be no
choice on the first ballot, leaving the
inference that they hope their men
may be chosen as a compromise.
There was less talk of opposition to
Root as temporary chairman. The
Roosevelt men have not agreed on a
candidate but declare they will have
one. Several conferences of Taft lead
ers were held at which plans for the
organization of the convention COM
mittee were considered. Former SEN
ator Dick of Ohio was brought for
ward as a candidate for chairman of

TOLL IN
HUMAN LIFE

.s
With the recent losses in life due
to floundering of ships, floods, etc.
we are more wildly impressed with
the uncertainty of life. Death comes
in the accident, the hurricane, in the
pestilence, and the forces that control
the world pay their regular toll in
human life. To the citizen these ca
lamities are appalling, and from the
fact that they appear to occur but
once in a while, we lose sight Of the
fact that accidents are daily occur.
rences. 1t is only those who look up
the figures, and acquaint themselves
with conditions as they actually exist
that know the reality.
During the discussion in the U. S.
Senate on the Federal Accident Com.
pensation Bill, Senator Sutherland OF
Utah gave some figures in this one
branch alone that carry with great
sorrow and suffering. He said:
This law deals with substantially
100000 employees. Four thousand
Of those employees are killed every
year in the service OF the railroads.
Some $4,000 to $4,000 are injured more
or less seriously every year, Gu, of
the men who were injured during the
years 1908, 1909. and 1910, 200 lost
both feet; IS lost both hands; IA Of
them were rendered totally blind; 81
of them lost one foot and one hand;
272 were totally disabled for life by
other injuries; 962 lost one hand;
1,7S6 lost one foot; $50 one eye; ,756
lost other parts of the body.
Now, ! have already said that 10
these men who are thus injured, and
to the widows and families of those
killed, approximately $lO,OS5,OOO is
paid out each year under the present
law. Under the proposed law approx.
imately sl5,O0O,OOO would be paid.

THE WHITE cARNATloN.

(By Margaret E. Sangster
Here's to the white carnation,
Sturdy and spicy and sweet,
Waiting breath of perfume
On the stony way of the street;
Bringing freight of gladness
Wherever the breezes blow
Here's to the white carnation,
Pure as the virgin snow.
This is the flower for Mother,
Wear it on Mothers Day;
Flower for the rain and sunshine,
Winsome, gallant and gay.
Wear it in Mothers honor,
Pinned to the coats lapel;
Wear it in belt and corsage,
For her that you love so we'll.
For Mother in lowly cabin,
Or Mother in palace hail,
Is ever the truest and dearest,
And ever the best of ALL
In travail and pain she bore US,
In laughter and love she nursed,
And who that would shame the
Mother
Is of all mankind accursed
Tired and wan too often,
Weary and weak at times,
But always full Of the courage
That thrills when the future chimes
Mother with hands toll hardened,
Mother in pearls and lace,
The light of heavenly beauty
Shines in her tender face.
So heres to the white carnation,
: Wear 1t on Mothers Day,
Flower that blooms for Mother,
Winsome, gallant and gay.
Flower OF perfect sweetness,
Flower for hut and hall,
L Here's to the white carnation,
And to Mother-Our Best of All.
