Considering the soft snap he has
in the piping times of peace, it may
occur to you that the more or less
noble red men fought too long and
hard for the plains and forests of
his fathers. Mostly it was losing
fight, and there never was a time
when the warning tribes couldn't have
settled down on the best land in the
reservation and drawn rations from
the government for good behavior,
and they knew it so we'll that the only
answer is that they preferred hell.

it could, while a present worth while

Smooth out the trouble wrinkles on

BETTER BUY COAL.
Latest Advices on Gas Situation Not
Encouraging.

1t isn't likely that the gas supply in
Topeka can be depended upon next sea-
son. At least the local management
will give no assurance that the supply
will be adequate.
Mayor J. B. Billiard has advised the
people to be prepared for a gas short
age, and in a newspaper interview in
a Kansas City paper, Mayor Joss of
that place advises the people to pre-
pare their furnaces for burning coal.
1.-The company frankly says said he,
" even though the price be raised, they
will be unable to furnish more gas than
last year, but on the contrary can
furnish only 80 per cent of what they
furnished last year"
1--WE have no statement to make on
the question at the present time" said
G. ]. Swan, superintendent of the local
company, when shown the Kansas City
mayors interview today. The same
company supplies gas for Topeka and

Plan to Circulate Petitions
Throughout the Country
Asking Taft to Withdraw Lacks
Encouragement.
SUBMITTED TO INSURGENTS
Kansas Congressman Look 1t
Over but Do Not Sign.
Statement Criticising Taft's
Nomination Decided Upon.

Washington, July 9.-Publicity given
to the plans of progressive Republican
members of the house to circulate Pc
titions calling on President Taft to
withdraw as head of the Republican
national ticket had the effect today
of retarding development if not actual
ly circumventing the scheme.
Further inquiry today developed the
fact that what was proclaimed yester-
day as a general nation wide move
ment to circulate petitions amongst
voters had thus far been confined al
most entirely to several leading pro-
gressives of the house. The reported
support of conservative Republicans 1t
was admitted probably will not be
forthcoming.
Representative Davis, of Minnesota,
has been actively advocating the draft
ing of petitions to be sent out
through the country for voters sigma
lures. He had a conference with SEN
ator Dixon, campaign manager Tor Col.
Roosevelt and it is understood the
scheme was discussed. No agreement
was reached by the progressives to
take up the petition plan and it was
rumored that the lack of general sup
port was responsible for the delay.
Kansas Progressives Did Not Sign.
A draft of a petition to be signed
by the members of the house was
shown yesterday to Representatives
Davis and Lindbergh of Minnesota;
jackson, Reese, Murdock and Young of
Kansas, Kent of California, Warburton
of Washington, and several others.
They did not agree upon its terms and
thus far none has signed it.
Anti-Taft members of the senate to-
gether with several from the house
have decided to draw up a statement
criticising the nomination made at Chi
cago setting forth their belief that
President Taft was not legally nomi-
mated This will be offered to all pro-
gressives for signature to be used as
a campaign statement.

BEDEL Is KILLED
His AerOpIane Strikes a Te1e-

He Falls Under His Motor and
Is Crushed.

Chalons Sur Marne, France, July 8.
Rene Bedel, one of the most expert
enced airmen and holder of the Pom
merry cup for cross country flight,
which he won from Jules Vedrines,
met death today before the eyes of sew
eral thousands of French troops who
were assembled on tie reviewing
ground at Mourmelon-Le-Grand near
here.
Bedel, who had come in his mono
plane from Villacoublay, near Paris, to
participate in the maneuVers, arrived
above the camp after fine flight. He
was about to descend when his mono
plane struck the telegraph wires which
the prevailing haze evidently prevent
ed him from seeing. His machine cap
sized and Bedel was thrown to the
ground. The motor of his aeroplane
fell on his body and he was crushed.

At Last the Board of Control Will
Make Final Water Test.

Members of the board of control, the
state architect and sanitary engineer,
will leave tonight for Larned to in
spect the grounds and water supply at

officially declared the site for the new
hospital.
Ar eight inch well, nearly 100 feet
deep. has been sunk on the new
grounds and near this well is a five
inch test we'll. An engine and pumps
have been provided for the test which
will be made by W. C. Hoad, state
sanitary engineer.
This is the final test said Sherman
G. Elliott, member of the board of
control 'If the test meets all require
ments, the grounds will at once be con-
demned for the asylum site. The board
will take at least $50 acres of land
at $50 an acre, but as it is not direct
purchase, condemnation proceedings
will be necessary. Except for 100 acres
of upland, where the buildings will be
located, fully so per cent of the ground
can be planted to alfalfa, corn and
fruit and as the site is ideal, we pro-
pose to make this the farming colony.
The land can easily be irrigated and

acres of land adjoining which he irri-
gates from a pumping plant on Pawnee
