her TO be herself and not an auno tlent
advertisement OF her dressmaker.
The greater is the value OF your
individuality. the less inclined you are
to give Ii up. Woman of tomorrow
will prefer TO be a perfect woman to
being an incomplete man. She Will
submit her toilettes to the f.smand
OF her own personality. The day when
women are free they will resuse to
submit TO the collective suicide which
fashions demand They will not base
their valuation OF themselves on the
costiliness or up to dateness Of their
dress, and they will blush at The
thought of being only "a dependent ami
NAL, and of arousing the envy OF ether
women.
When woman becomes absolutely
free, when she gets possession of n.r
personality and dignity, she will obey
the dictates OF fashion even less than
men do. -

A Thought For Today

Those who try. may ma
How strong the chains are which
spirits bind
Brittle perchapce as straw. We are
assured
Much may be conquered. much may

OF what degrades and brushes US. We

That we have power over ourselves
to do
And suffer--what. we know not til
we try;
But something nobler than just live

DEAN DENIES 1T.



nshed a statement that Capper would
make decided gains in that county and
that he had not been given a fair deal
in the count.
Last night the Leavenworth Post
denied that Capper had made gains in
Leavenworth county, but declared that
% additional votes had been found
which should be counted for Hodges.
The Leavenworth publication stated
the situation in that county in the fol-
lowing language:
The Leavenworth Version.
This mornings papers in LeaVen-
worth, Kansas City and Topeka
printed story to the effect that a
special representative of Mr.. Capper,
in canvassing the vote in this coun-
ty, had found discrepancies which
would give Capper a gain of about
$50. Whoever sent out the story was
misinformed. for Mr.. Capper's agent
himself does not make any such
claim. If certain precincts could be
thrown out entirely, there would be
a difference in the result, but there
is no law for throwing out these pre-
cinctS. For instance, in one or two
precincts the judges neglected to sign
the poll books. The books, however
were easily recognized and the judges
have since verified their identity and
the county board has accepted the re-
should be made are in Springdale,
Ackerland. and the second precinct of
the Fourth ward.
'fIt was reported on the streets
today that a prominent Republican
politician was in Topeka yesterday
in consultation with Capper and that
the plan is to have Leavenworth the
scene of contest SO that H. c..
Short may have a chance to regain
his office without standing all the
cost of a contest locally himself.
cit is not believed there is any
ground for a contest in any precinct
here; the Democrats threaten, if a con-
test is started to test the legality
of some $50 Republican votes in the
soldiers home which we're cast by
members who have since been found
to have definite residences elsewhere.
Many of them have families in other
places and send their pensions there.
These should send their ballots there
also. 1t is not believed, however, that
there will be any contest here"

win by a very small majority. Per-
haps he has lost on the Capper guess
as well as the Jackson prediction. But
on the other figures and estimates,
Albaugh's, political cunning is Just as
keen. as in the days when he was at
the steering wheel of the Republican
party in Kansas.
Doniphan county, the home of
Cyrus Leland, was one of the two
counties in Kansas which gave a ma
jority to Taft. That fact is significant
IN view of the fact that almost since
his defeat for governor in 1908, Le-
land has trained with the Progressives
or reform element Of the Republican
party. And now, after making the
fight for Stubbs and Capper and
Roosevelt Leland's home county turns
majority for the presidential candi-
date whom Capper and Stubs OPP
posed.
In 1908 LeIand's friends pushed
him into the running for governor.
Leland was believed at that time to
haired fighter from Lawrence who
had already caused too much sorrow
for the old crowd in Kansas politics.
Leland made the race. 1t was the
first state wide primary in Kansas and
the people took to the primary kindly
Stubs and Leland was quite badly
beaten.
After that fight, Leland left the
haunts Of the old crowd. Gradually
he became a regular attendant at the
councils of the Stubs crowd In
1910 Leland fought teeth and nail for
Stubbs when he was opposed by Tom
Wagstaff for denomination And in
the recent campaign, Roosevelt, Stubs
and Capper had no stronger advocate

in the state than the old war horse
of Troy. Now, with the returns all
in, Doniphan county gives a majority
to Taft. But then Uncle Cy ought not
to feel bad, for William Allen White
failed to deliver his home county of
Lyon to Roosevelt
It is probable that J. NJ. Shuey,
Democratic member of the house from
the One Hundred and Second legisla-
tive district will be a candidate for the
speakership in the coming session.
Shuey is a Democrat of prominence in
Decatur county and has been returned
to the legislature for a second term.
Already there is a strong indication
of a lively fight for the speakership.
James W. Orr of Atchison is an
avowed candidate and will be a most
lively contender for the place. On the
other hand Iron Jaw w. L. Brown
of Kingman wants to swing the gavel
in the 1913 session. And Brown is
not without his following in the short
grass country. Now Shuey's friends
are urging him to declare himself for
the speakership.

in the final hour, when buying orders

Final prices showed gains of 1 to points

IS SLAYER found
PaOIa Believes POstmaster's
Assailant Will Be Caught.
G.. B. McEIheny's Death May
Yet Be Explained.

Paola. Kan. Nov. "a report is cur
rent through Miami county that there
may be an arrest soon in the murder
of George B. McElheny, postmaster at
I,ouisburg. who was shot at his home
about six weeks ago. And it is said
this arrest may clear up the mystery OF
the motive for the crime.
An old man, probably 20 years old,
and his daughter, a beautiful girl. are
reported to be connected with the case.
McElheny was killed under peculiar
circumstances. Returning to his home
about o'clock one night, accompanied
by his wife and children, McE1heny
went to the kitchen to get something
to eat.
Shot Through Screen Door.
The weather was warm and only the
screen door of the kitchen had been
fastened. A charge from a shotgun was
fired through this screen door. 1t struck
McElheny in the chest. He reeIed, ran
into the front room where his children
and wife were cried out that he had
been shot, staggered back into the
kitchen and fell to the floor, dead.
Although neighborS, attracted by the
shot, and Mrs. McElheny's screams, ran
to the house, they saw nothing of the
slayer.
McElheny was treasurer of a fair
which had ended that night, and rob-
motive. but there was no other evil
dence of this.
Whole Town Was Searched.
Bloodhounds placed on the trail,
three times led the officers to the M,
K. &. T. depot. but they could follow it
no farther. Every man in town was
lined up by vigilance committee
which searched the houses for a shot
gun which had belonged to McElheny
and which was missing. 1t was not
found, nor was there any other clue to
the identity of the slayer.
Detectives were brought here from
Kansas City. A reward was offered by
wealthy friend of McEIheny's. These
detectives, after working steadily on
the case for several weeks, are report
ed to have uncovered evidence and to
have obtained statements which may
weave a strong web around the sus-
pect.
Muttered Threat Is Clue.
A muttered threat, uttered when the
/ old man thought no one was around
| but which was heard by a man who is
reported to have made a statement to
! the officers, is said to be the strongest
| link in the chain of evidence. The IN
! intentional eavesdropper kept his 81
| lence until recently.
Important developments in the case
are expected any moment, it is ad-
mitted.
