yizcarro Gives His Views.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
In reference to the statement print
ed in your paper of July Is 1913, N
regard to me vanishing with $25 of
money belonging to a Mexican named
Dionicio Torres, and limiting that 1
was in Topeka, Kan. on diplomatic
business. etc, 1 wish you will publish
this which will explain all the facts in
this particular matter. &,
I pleaded for this man Torres for
the reason that I thought he didn't
have an impartial trial, and after hav-
ing the consent of the judge of the
court of Topeka, Mr.. Carver, as to his
release upon the payment of the court
cost, I tried to get this cost which
amounted to $3.50 for him. He gave
me a letter addressed to some Mexi-
can woman in order that l could get
this sum; but after talking with said
woman she delivered to me only $25,
which amount was not enough to pay
for the court costs. l could not stay
any longer in Topeka so I hand him
a letter written by me to Mr.. Carver
stating that the bearer of said letter
will deliver to him the $3.50 the re-
lease of said man Torres, and told to
Torres. here you have this letter and
this s25 from the woman, call your
friends and see if you can raise the
balance in order to get free, l am go
ing to Kansas City. The next that l
hear from this man was a letter from
Mr. r. A Lee, assistant county attor-
ney, stating that Torres claimed that 1
collected S25 and went to Kansas City
with the money, of course | answered
said letter and explained the facts and
a few days later the very same Torres
went to my office at Kansas City to
thank me for the part / took in re-
leasing him. I showed the correspond
ence from the county attorney and he
swore an affidavit before a notary re-
public at Kansas City. Mo-, denying
any part in this particular transaction
and blaming for all this work against
me to a man named Augustin A1va.
deputy sheriff of the Shawnee county
with commission in Topeka, SO 1 took
all the papers in regard to this mat
ter and placed before your attorney
general, Mr.. Dawson, from which gem
tleman l have not received any reply,
but that I expect in his integrity to
punish the responsible parties in this
persecution.
Hoping that this explanation Will
clear all the points and also the pub
lie may take a different view of this
case I beg to remain as,

Soothing to the Feet.

The foot bath is not only a luxury,
but it is a necessity. BY this is meant
the bathing of the feet by an extra
bath and not with the ordinary tub
bing. When the feet are tired soak
them in warm water to which a little
alum or little salt has been added.
Sometimes just letting them remain in
warm water for a few minutes will rest
them sufficiently. Many people suffer
greatly from calloused spots. These
may be removed and the pain relieved
if the feet are given a bath in alum
water after which the calloused spots
may be rubbed with a piece of toilet
pumice- a few treatments will entire
ly remove these calloused places To
improve the condition of perspiring feet
take of boric acid six drains, Salicylic
acid one dram, talcum enough to make
two ounces Rub we'll together and
dust freely between the toes before put
ting on stockings. After bathing the
feet in lukewarm water they should be
carefully dried and rubbed with cologne
water.

Glasses began on Thursday. All the

evening with a sober, industrious
crowd. The teachers sharpened their
wits in the morning and divided their
classes into the usual three groups:
The ones who know; the ones who
don't know, and the ones who pretend
to know.
The first chapel exercises-Dean Nc

Practice consisted in getting togeti-

One of the noticeable features about
this years registration is the number
of Topeka young people who have
abandoned schools in the east and re-
turned to Washburn- Last year there
was the usual influx of high school
graduates to ssachuSetts and New
Hampshire, Virginia and New York.
