Announcement has been made of
the engagement of Miss Gladys Scott,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred
Ashton Scott, and Mr.. Russell Frost,
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. John E. Frost.
No definite plans have been made for
the wedding, but it will probably take
place some time in the spring, and
WILDE an event of exceptional inter-
est, by reason of the prominence of
the two families that the marriage tie
is to unite, as well as the personal
popularity of the principals. Miss
Scott formerly attended Washburn
college, and since her student days,
she has been notably successful in a
social way. She is vivacious, petite,
and daintily pretty. Mr.. Frost is a
graduate of the Wisconsin university,
and has been employed as a civil en-
gineer by the Union Pacific Railway
company in Wyoming. Recently he
return to Topeka and expects to re-
main here.

An Excellent Exhibit.

The Beltrami county exhibit at the
state fair is one of which every farm
err in this county may be proud. To
four men largely belongs the credit
for so arranging the specimens that
they make a tasty booth. A. P. Rit-
chic, F. S. Arnold, G. P. Schroeder and
August Jarchow are not land men, all
except Mr.. Arnold being farmers, but
they worked as hard as though they
had thousands of acres to sell. AS a
result, the Beltrami booth is one of
the attraction spots of the fair.
This year promises to be record
breaker for the fair. The crop is
bumper and the Individual samples
arrived at the grounds in first class
shape. These make exhibits that tell
better than printers ink and paper
what can be done on the lands of
Minnesota. Beautiful weather the
first two days made it possible to set
new records in attendance and so in
sure the financial success of the pro-
ject. With continued good weather
the fair should break all previous at
tendance records.

Balancing the Ticket.

The New York Commercial, which |
is regarded as an independent Repub-
lican paper, discusses the Importance
of the vice presidency from the stand
point of the place which Garrett Ho-
bart had come to occupy in the first
administration of President McKin-
ley. 1t will be remembered that when
Mr.. Hobart was nominated the coun-
try asked, "Who is Hobart?" He had
not achieved national reputation,
although a man of distinction in New
Jersey-strOng and successful in af-
fairs, and influential. But when he
was elected he made of the Office Of !
vice-president more nearly what it
ought to be than any other man of re-
cent times. He was more than presi-
dent of the senate. He exerted great
influence in that body and helped to
shape legislation to degree never be-
fore traceable to the vice-presidential |
office. And not only that, he render
ed invaluable service to Mr.. McKin-
ley as a wise counsellor, a sympa-
thetic and loyal assistant, and one on
whom the president relied with great
confidence in meeting the many and
difficult problems of his office.
The vice-presidency meant some
thing while Mr.. Hobart was the occu-
pant, and the important place in the
organization of the government to
which he raised the Office has attach
ed new dignity to that position and
made it important that the party
nominations for vice-president should
approximate, if they do not equal, in
ability and general fitness the nomi-
nation for the presidency itself.
In this present situation three men
of different types have been chosen
by the leading parties for second
place.
Mr. Sherman was nominated in
1908 as concession to that element I
of the party which was completely
out-Voted in the convention. That he
was selected because of his fitness to
succeed to the office of president will
scarcely be maintained by any one.
His party would never have thought
of nominating him for the presiden-
cy. His denomination last June came
about through the domination in the |
convention of the same element |
which was in the minority four years
before, and to which the consolation |
prize of vice-presidency was awarded |
at that time. 49,
Mr.. Marshall, the Democratic can
didate for vice-president, could gath
er no strength outside of his own
state delegation. He represents a |
doubtful and pivotal state, and his
nomination was doubtless dictated !
more by good politics than by any
thing else. He is a man of talents
and attainments, but was not re-
garded as of presidential size.
The Progressives selected for. the
second place man who, with Col
onel Roosevelt out of the way, might
have won first place on his qualifica-
tions and his record. Hiram johnson

PASSING OF THE SILHOUETTE
New Imported Gowns or Exhibition
Show Wealth of Drapery.

Alas for the silhouette-the silhouette
slender and sylphlike! For its attainment
women have gladly endured the tortures OF
starvation, and then have cheerfully suit
mitted TO the compression, by any ef-
fective means that could be devised, OF
any flesh they were unfortunate enough
TO retain. And now it is to be obliterated
and disguised by-panniers? One can hard
ly call them so, these draperies on the
new gowns; but their relationship to the
unsightly protuberances which women once
wore under that name Is unmistakable.
How pleasing the modern version OF this
old fashion may be was one OF the dis
coveries made yesterday by those who at
tended the private exhibition OF gowns
imported by r. II. Macy & Co. One gown
and II was the one In which the dra-
peries most strongly suggested panniers-
was declared TO be adorable, even by per-
sons little inclined to enthusiasm in such
matters. 1t was dinner gown Of ciel blue
faille and Roseland lace, just a simple ar
Iangement Of a few lovely materials, and
yet it was so beautiful that few would
have felt like risking the change OF a
single pucker in the full putfed drapery

HER DIVORCE MADE CHEAPER
Mrs. Georger's Lawyers Must
Take Less than $4,000.

Hamilton Odell filed his report yesterday
In the Supreme Court as referee IN a suit
brought by Henry 4 Gennert and William
o. Gennert. lawyers. against Mrs. Flor
ence r. Georger, from whom they sought
to collect 600 for legal services in getting
for her "a quiet and speedy divorce"
Mrs. Georger is a niece Of Vice-Chan-
cellor Emery. of New Jersey, and daugh-
ter OF William T.. Emery, Of the Emery
Bird-Thayer Dry Goods Company. OF No.
39s Broadway. She obtained divorce in
New Jersey from her husband, Frederick
Georger, of the real estate frm Of Brooks
e Georger, OF No. 30 West saith street.
Gennert & Gennert were her lawyers, and
she refused 10 pay the bill submitted by
the attorneys, whereupon they sued.
Mrs. Georger had already paid fjta a.
counsel fees, and in his report Mr.. Odell
decides that Mrs. Georger should pay only
$l,j00 more. The plaintiffs said that they
had TO pay an associate counsel in New
Jersey $3.50 Of the 5000 demanded as fees.
George w. Flaacke, a New Jersey lawyer,
said that Mrs. Georger had said TO him;
You get me the divorce and 7 will see
to II that YOU are handsomely paid. You
can have all the money you want" But
Referee Odell found that the lawyers, in
their efforts at secrecy had used too much
and unnecessary caution.
One OF the expert witnesses called be-
fore Mr. Odell was Robert McCarter. for
mer Attorney General of New Jersey, who
testified that his charge for getting Mrs
Georger's divorce would have been $3.50.

opinion as 10 the right OF the PLAINTIFF to

TELL FOOD HAULING COST
One Witness Says Purchasers
Must Paw Rate or Suffer Delay.

The Food Investigating Committee, whlcn
is trying TO determine what II costs TO mar
ket produce in New York, took up the mat
ter OF trucking charges as a factor In the
high cost Of supplies at its meeting yester-
day at No. 2O2 Franklin street. y dozen
or so witnesses were called to testify to the
various rates for transportation about the
city.
Storage. according to the finding OF the
committee is an almost negligible factor,
since Representatives Of several companies
showed that their charges for a whole win
ter's storage would not add more than one
cent to the cost of a pound of butter or a
dozen eggs. The complicated system OF
trucking. however. was suggested during
the examination of other witnesses
Rates quoted by Edmund r. Lowe presi-
dent of the Market Truck owners Associ-
alton, were as follows: From the docks TO
the warehouses four cents for tub OF but
ter or a case Of eggs and five cents for 100
pounds of dried fruit. From warehouses
to commission stores a set charge Of three
cents case or tub of eggs or butter. Mr..
Lowe explained that the shipper always
pays the trucking charges In New YORK ana
is assessed an average rate OF seven cents
for this, although it does not always cost
that amount He also said that practically
all the butter and egg trade OF the city was
handled through the Manhattan markets
and the hauling to Brooklyn averaged about
five cents a tub or case.
Commissioner William Church Osborn,
who presided, -elicited some information

almost every shipping point had produc-
ers association, which favored certain COM
mission merchants In New York, and that
in return for this consideration the mer-
chants returned 3 per cent of their 10 per
cent commission He said that on fruit
shipments there were associations In New
York which returned from S. 10 81 so on a
carload of fruit. they getting their money
back through dock haulage charges.

which finally compelled the purchaser 20
hire his own truckman II he expected 10 get
his purchases. the buyer was compelled 20
pay eight cents truCkage-four cents for the
truckage done and four cents for dock haul
age. Mr.. Murphy also testified that as
soon as trucks owned by railroads and stor-
age houses entered terminal they were in
variably given right of way over the In
dependent truckmen
Harry Ban. Of b. Ban & Son, live poultry
dealers explained that poultry passed
through five hands, with profits to each, be-

and raisers made the first profit the small
dealer the next. the wholesaler the third,

butcher, or retailer the fifth.

TREES FROM JAPAN SOON
Slower to Have Experts Inspect Them
as Guard Against Blight.

An entomologist from the state Depart
ment Of Agriculture, at the request, Of Park
Commissioner Slower. will inspect the
twenty-five hundred Japanese cherry trees
that are expected in this city any day now.
Commissioners Slower has also invited the
federal Department OF Agriculture TO send
an entomologist 10 this city to inspect the
trees.
II have every reason 10 believe the cherry
trees are not infested with any disease, -
said Commissioner Slower yesterday, but
want to be sure about 1t. The trees com
ing 10 this city we're supervised for two
years by expert arboriculturlsts and snto-
mologists in Japan. and were shipped with
clean bill of health"
On learning that the trees were soon TO
be here, a number of persons have written
TO Commissioner Slower warning him that
the chestnut blight was imported into this
country from Japan. Collector Loeb notl-
fed the Park Commissioner yesterday that
the trees would be admitted duty free and
everything would be done to expedite the
delivery of them to the Park Department.
