HIS WIFE HAS GONE.

where everything is unpleasant, Wells
Lounsberry requested that his wife not be
allowed to call on him afr being locked
up He realized that such a place was I'M
familiar 10 his wife and that such a sight
might cause a nervous collapse and lie
made this request because he wished to
avoid disastrous results which might o.:

Lounsberry was taken to the Shawnee
county prison Immediately after being ar
raigned before United States Commission
er Frank L. Campbell Mrs. Lounsberry
called at the prison and wanted to see
him but was denied the privilege by jail
er Bundy for the reason given by her
husband. Her two sons did not accom-
pany her but even at that, her husband
although regarded as a desperate GRIM
inaI. held the love of a husband in his
heart and sought to prevent her from SUI
fering as much mental anguish as was
possible.
Mrs. Lounsberry and her two chiIdrec,

E. B. Stotts disagrees absolutely
with Commissioner Miller in regard to

should be allowed to use it as he likes.
II ne takes his wife or sweetheart
ahead of him, he is running the risk
it's nobody else's business. The girl
doesn't have to go unless she wants
to. Almost every day we see automo-
biles intended for two people carry
ing three, four or five. Automobiles
intended for five hold as many as ten.
1 don't see why the man owning a
motorcycle isn't privileged to take mis-
girl riding. Pop-popS and automobiles
should be controlled in the same way,
same law for both.
''I'H tell YOU went on Stotts lean

Only by Petition Can Any Re-
publican ElectOr
Find a Place on the Ballot in
California.

San Francisco, Sept. 4.-Returns from
the primary election held yesterday make
it plain that by petition only can Taft
electors find place on the Republican
ballot at the presidential election this fall.
The decisive manner u which Roosevelt
and Johnson swept the state for the sec
ond time this year insures that the nom
mating convention to be held in Sacra-
mento this month will return electors
pledged to Roosevelt the Republican
electors of California.
The general primary law provides, how
ever, that any candidate for office may
find place on the ballot by petition if he
obtains signatures constituting a stated
percentage of total vote. In the case of
presidential electors the attorney general
recently gave an opinion that their petit
tions must bear the signatures of three
per cent of the total vote cast through
out the state in the last general election.

ROOSEVELT is PLEASED
He Says He Was Not Expecting Much
in Vermont.

Ottumwa, Sept. IF he had made
terms with the bosses at the Repub-
lican convention Col Roosevelt said to-
day they would have turned to him
with the presidential nomination.
Speaking at Mount Zion the colonel
said: "Our opponents did not steal the
nomination from me at Chicago last
June. They stole it from you. They
do not like me. but it is understood
they are really afraid of me, and they
opposed me because they believed Il
really represented you. If I had been
content at any moment to stop repre-
senting you the bosses would have
turned to me with whoop of delight.
Il occasionally run across Republic
cans who say they don't want to de-
sert the old ship. 1 say to them that
when a gang of pirates takes possession
of the ship you've got to fight. You
can't be true to the memory of Lincoln
except by refusing to go with the
Barnses and Penroses who have scut-
tied the Lincoln ship"
Roosevelt made his days tour through
Iowa in blisterlng heat. The warmth
was of benefit to his throat and his
voice was in better condition. Most of
his speeches were made in small towns.
The farmers drove from miles around
to hear him and his audiences were
large. On receiving partial returns
from the Vermont election Col. Roose-
welt said he was greatly pleased at the
size of the vote cast for the Progress
sive ticket.
II am greatly relieved by the result
in Vermont ne said. while on my
three days tour in that state, i became
seriously concerned lest there should
be practically no support whichever for
the Progressive state ticket because a
third or a half of the men VINO spoke
to me stated their belief il. the Pro-
gressive national ticket bu did not
intend to vote the state Progressive
ticket.
This was the reason why in my
speeches I dropped all the appeal fer
the national ticket and urged the sup
port of the state ticket.

FOR CHARITIES
Nine State Institutions Want
Three-Fourths of Million.
Since 1907 Has Been Shrinkage
in Appropriations.
NOW NEED IMPROVEMENTS
Need Buildings, Additions, Fur
niture and Equipment.
Topeka Hospital Wants $14S,-
900 for Improvements.

In a report sent to State Auditor
w. Z. Davis, the board of control
shows that the nine state charitable
institutions want more than three
fourths of million dollars for inn
provements in 1914-15. These re
quests will be made t. the Kansas leg
islature when the appropriation bills
are prepared next winter
Since 1907, there has been a shrink
age in the appropriations to the
charitable institutions. while the
schools and colleges have prospered
abundantly at the hands of the state
legislature. Now the heads of the
charitable INSTRUCTORS think they
should have an inning and they have
dreams and hopes. They as.l for re-
pairs ranging from the purchase OF
Few feet of gas pipe to $50 acre
farm. while tile floors, bakeries, colo
storage plants and lew buildings OF
varied descriptions are prominent in
the list of requests.
When the legislature met in 1907, it
appropriated $1,969,517 for the charit-
able institutions. This included main
tenance and operating expenses and

preparations we're trimmed more than

The 1911 legislature made $2O,OOO
increase and the appropriations that
year went to $1,746,22 Now the
state charities want to get back to the
olden days-iu fact, they would like
to surpass it-and they ask $776,920
for improvements. And that doesn't
cover one cent of the two years cost
for operation and maintenance.

hopeful 1t asks for $1S4,0 900 for inn

perfectly satisfied with $16O, 600. The

thus it goes-clear down to a request
for $4,000 by the Kansas City school
for the blind.

situations want in their list of improve
