Sherbrooke, Quebec, Aug 22-The
hearing in the case of the self-styled
Mitchell Thompson arrested by
the immigration authorities, charged
with aiding lunatic@ Harry X. Thaw
in crossing the Canadian frontier. was
postponed today until next Friday.
THOMPSON came into court dis
guised by pair of smoked glasses.
Pictures of Gentleman Roger" had
arrived during the night, however
and Sheriff Hornbeck, of Duchess
county, holding one of these gazing
at the prisoner said:
Who could miss it! 1t certainly
is Roger!"
Thaw's sister, Margaret Thaw Car
negie and his brother-in-law George
Lauder Carnegie, left Sherbrooke
last night after comforting with his
lawyers and ascertaining that every
thing was being done to protect his
interests.
Thaw May Buy Property.
Thaw has been advised by certain
of his counsel, it was learned today,
to- buy property in Canada, and take
steps to become naturalized as a
British subject. This, it was held,
would prevent his deportation.
The inside motive for the immi-
grafton authorities causing the Thomp
son case to be postponed lies in the
fact that the charge on which he is
held is punishable only with fine.
He could pay this at once and de-
camp for parts unknown.
The warrant from Duchess county
charging him with conspiracy, is not
regarded as sufficient basis for ex-
tradition. To patch up this foop-
hole more time is needed.
Asks Aid of Governor Stone.
Thaw broke away from his law
yers last night long enough to frame
telegram to \friend in Pittsburg
saying that he had teleghaphed
through a third party to Ex-Governor
Stone of Pennsylvania, asking him
to appeal :, to Secretary of State
Bryan in his behalf.
Thaw added that he was the "vic
tim of some underhand influence from
scme other state, exercised to pre-
vent his journeying to his owr
home"
The governor" of the Sherbrookt
Jail laughed today when asked if spe
cial guards had been detailed t.
watch Thaw. He denied that this
was true, but it is understood tha
precautionary measures have beer
taken at the request of District At
torney Conger, of Duihess county, ant
his allies, the immigration authori
ties
Thaw's Chief Worry.
Thaw's principal worry seems t.
be how much of the synopsis of Je
romes speech to the jury in 1908
which he handed out to the pres!
with a request that it be published
was used oy the American and Ca
madam papers.

10000 ACRES
IN WHEAT
Prospects ExceIlent For A
1914 Crop

Prospects for a wheat crop in
Kansas we're perhaps never bet
ter than at the present time for
a 1914 crop.
The 1918 failure seems to
have served as a incentive to the
wheat raisers to put out a larger
acreage than last year, for from
every part of the state, come
the reports that conditions we're
never better and that the acreage
is much larger than last year.
In this county it is estimated
that 100000 acres have been
seeded to wheat up to this time
and much more is to be put in.
All of the wheat already out is
up and much of it is being pas
tured.

REAL WINTER
VISITS MEADE
Made Us All Wish For The
Good Old Summer Time

The first real winter arrived
Saturday afternoon and came in
such a way that there was no
mistaking that King Winter was
sincere.
The temperature was consid-
erably lower, and cold wind
blew from the north, increasing
in severity and velocity as night
came on.
Sunday was a little better and
by Monday usual weather was
in vogue.
A severe snow storm was re-
ported at Pratt and other points
east. At Meade there was but
very little snow.
At Atchinson and over most
of northeastern Kansas heavy
snow was reported, with light
fall at Kansas City.
Snow at Wichita on the 28th
and the temperature "a degrees
above zero.
A drop in temperature, and a
mild blizzard threatened, was the
report at Pittsburg the 2Sth.
With the temperature 80 above
the heaviest snow for this season
known in years, fell at Lawrence
last Tuesday.
A light fall of snow over Neb-
baska; blizzard at St. Joseph;
cooler weather in Iowa; and re-
ports of a northeasterly storm
on Lake Superior, indicate that
the storm was general.

The teachers of the state are
looking forward with unusual in-
terest to the annual meeting OF
their Association in Topeka, on
November 6 and Z. A proposal
will be considered for reorganiz-
ing the association on plan de-
signed to make it more effect
i've agency for securing positive
results beneficial to the schools
and to the teachers, the chief
feature of the new plan being
the employment of permanent
executive secretary who will be
at work all the time for the adj
vancement of the the welfare of
the teachers and educational in
terests of the state.
Since the time of the annual
meeting was changed from the
Christmas holidays to Novem-
ber, from four to five thousand
teachers find it possible and
profitable to attend. This four
fold increase in mem bership pro-
vides funds for an elaborate pro-
gram on which appear noted
specialties on every phase of
education, besides a large num-
ber of the brightest of the Kan
sas teachers, principles. and
superintendents, about twenty
men and women from a distance
have been engaged by the execu-
tive committee to set forth the
best and latest ideas on school
matters, including both admins
tration and instruction
Four general sessions will be
held in the great auditorium, one
of which will consist of high

provided by the Topeka Com
mercial club. Five department
lsessions will be especiallydeyot-
ed, respectively, to Colleges,
High Schools, Rural Schools,
Graded Schools, and Primary
Schools. There will also be
Round Tables for the discuss
ion of special branches. In
these the teachers interested in
the same subject will be brought
together for acquaintance and
conference.
Every teacher in Meade coun-
ty who possibly can, should be
present at this meeting.

GOOD FOR FEED

Another weed that has hither-
to been despised, but is How max
ing good as a feed crop is the
Russian thistle.
Charles Norlin, Stanton coun-
ty farmer has been feeding the
thistle to his stock for two years
with great success. On his farm
may now be seen two big stacks
of the thistles, each 175 feet long
containing $50 tons of Russian
thistle hay. He will feed moth
ing else this winter.
Next year Mr.. Norlin will cul-
tivate fifty acres for the thistle
crop alone which he figures ought
to make five to six tons per acre
of good hay.
81 used to regard the thistle
as my greatest enemy, said Mr..
Norlin. Every year it was a
battle to keep the thistle out of
the wheat and corn and they
generally won.
"When l found that the cattle
would eat the young thistles with
a relish, and that they even far
ed we'll on the old thistle when
properly cured. So l put some
up. l found the cattle would
leave the fodder to eat the green
thistles from the stack. Last
winter fed 135 head of horses
and cattle through the winter on
the thistles and they had nothing
else to eat. They came through
sleek and fat"
The Russian thistle is a big
bushy, bunchy plant, growing in
walls of compact pulpy green
foliage, generally two feet high
and covering the ground thick,
AS weed it was almost impos-
sible to stamp it out. AS a feed
it is a great success.-Ex.

Topeka, October 27-Ia last
weeks letter, attention was call.
cd to the fact that State Oil In
apector Cumisky is showing a
net profit to the state of forty
thousand dollars more than was
turned in during the last year of
the Stubbs administration. Now
comes State Grain Inspector
Ross, with a showing of nice
gam in his Department notwith-
standing the drouth which ma
terially affected the shipments
of grain.
d EMr. Ross, when he took charge
AGuly 1st, found the Department
Esorganized and state inspec-
: tion discredited and refused in
the more important grain CEN
ters. The new State Inspector
Immediately set to work and
with the exception of Kansas
City, Kansas, every important
grain center in the state is now
accepting state inspection. And
Notwithstanding the fact that
Mr.. Ross took charge in the
midst of the severest drouth in
a half century, he succeeded
during the months of July, Aug
ust, and September, in collect
ing 81, ,072. 40 as against SO, us. 90
collected by the Stubbs admins
tration during the same months
in 1912. But as against this loss
of $27o0 in collections, Mr.. Ross
reduced the expense account of
his Department to $5,595.2S as
against So, ,493.10 last year. The
net result of which is, that Mr..
Ross, Notwithstanding the adj
verse circumstances of disorgan-
iEatlon and drouth. has turned
into the Treasury net reveRue
Of 81, ,47s during the first three
m6nths of his administration, as
against net revenue of $1,28S
for the same period under the
Stubbs administration.
Thus it will be seen that in
every Department the Hodges
administration is practicing the
utmost economy and thereby in
creasing the state revepRes.

When the Topeka Capital runs
out of anything else to talk about,
it prints something about the
1913 appropriations, and, as IS
usual, misrepresents the facts.
In recent issue, the Capital
had something to say about "Re-
appropriations" and printed fig
ures to show that adding reap
Preparations to direct appropri-
ations, the legislature of 1913 ap-
propriated $85O,826.56 more than
did the legislature of 1911, there
by making the appropriations in
1913 81, ,246,6 as compared
with So, 1875, 9S4.O1 in 1911.
There is an old saying that
''fTigures won't lie, but liars will
6g'hre" and that is the trouble
with the fellow who writes this
dope for the Capital. In making
his comparison between the ap-
Preparations of 1913 and 1911, he
added the appropriations to
the direct appropriations in 1913
but purposly omitted to add the
reappropriated items in 1911 to
the direct appropriations of that
year. The Stubbs legislature
of 1911 appropriated unexpended
balances amounted to $803, O39.22
Adding these to the direct APP
preparations for that year, and
we have in round numbers
