WALTER JOHNSON
Greatest Pitcher Ever DeyeI-
oped Signs for $4,000.
Experts Believe That Arm Will
Hold Outfits Best Year.

Washington, Oct. 11.-When Walter
johnson of Coffeyville, Kan, the
worlds greatest pitcher, signed a con-
! tract for the season of 1914 several
days ago in Washington, he could have
named an annual salary of from $685. 900
to $4,000, but he was modest, as he
always is. Manager Griffith, of the
Nationals, wanted Johnson to sign for
the term of three years, which, how
ever, he is said to have refused, pre-
ferring to enter into a one-term pact.
His salary next year will be $12,500
Walter Johnson has been a member
of the Washington team since the fall
of 1907, when he was secured from the
Weiser Oa.) club, an Independent or
ganization. Johnson did not cost the
Washington club a cent. He was a
success from the outset and after see
ing his first year in the American
League was heralded as the coming
greatest pitcher of the game. This dis
tinction Walter has since gained, for
he is generally considered the greatest
pitcher that the sport has ever pro-
duced.
Three years ago he signed a contract
at ST. 900 per season, which expires
when the present season is over. There
has been considera BILE speculation as to
the amount he would demand in his
next contract and there were fears ex-
pressed that the Washington club
there was no misunderstanding between
Griffith and Johnson, and they got to-

Walters reason for not wanting to

demand for an increase.

AER0NAUTS ARE DOWN
Attempt to Lift the Lahm Cup Fails
Owing to Storm.

Russellville Mo-, Oct. 11.-William
Assmann, of st. Louis, pilot, and Jo-
seph O'Reilly, his aid, who sailed
from San Antonio, Tex, in the balloon
Million Population club, of st. Louis,
in an effort to lift the Lahm cup for
long distance flights, landed two
miles north of here last night. Both
men had suffered severely from the
cold.
The distance sailed by the balloon
was estimated at 725 miles. 447 miles
less than the record made by Captain
Allen ]. Hawley of New York, present
holder of the cup.
Mr.. Assmann said that in passing
over Oklahoma at a high altitude they
encountered snow and s1eet and the
cold became very severe. He said they
had to contend with three separate
air currents while over Oklahoma and
finally were caught in a strong north
east current and carried over the
western and southern section of Mis-
souri,.
During the flight over Missouri, the
balloon constantly was in a driving
rain storm. Assmann said they were
forced to land as they had exhausted
all their ballast in battling with the
contrary air currents and the air craft
could not be kept up longer. AT times
the balloon was in great danger of
being struck by lightning, the aeron-
auts said. The balloon was in the air
p hours and 40 minutes.

November brings cold weather again
and more food is required Tor neat
making purposes. The appetite Graves
more food, and the result is most peo-
pie over indulge.
This may bring on a condition of the
stomach known dyspepsia. Ihe
stomach is suddenly surprised with ex-
ira work in digesting unusual amounts
of food. In some cases it is not equal
to the emergency.
Peruna is an excellent stomachic- 1t
stimulates the stomach in it's natural
functions. 1t acts as a gentle laxative
also, and in this way enables the stom-
ach and digestive organs to rise to the
emergency of the extra work thrown
upon them during the month of No
vember.
A few doses of Peruna during the
early days of November would I'M
doubtedly save a great many people
from the horrors of dyspepsia. 1t is an
excellent remedy. 1t should be in every
home in order to enable the digestive
organs to adjust themselves to the diff
ferences of diet between summer and
winter.

Everything possible will be done in
Topeka for the comfort and entertain
ment of the army of teachers. The
teachers and principals of the city
schools have appointed a committee
to handle the local arrangements for
entertainment. Open house will be
the order of things at the manual
training building while the visitors are
in the city. Rest rooms, writing
rooms and many other conveniences
will be provided. Light refreshments
will be served.
E. F. Stanley, principal of the
Quincy school, will have the task of
providing rooms for the visitors. 1t
might be of interest to note that no
small number of teachers have al
ready made arrangements for rooms.
Commercial Club Entertainment.
Francis Macmillen, violinist, and
Charles W. Clark, baritone, are the
two we'll known artists who have been
booked by the Commercial club at
great cost to entertain the visiting
teachers at the auditorium. The for

the few American artists who have
succeeded in winning real distinction

this country of two years he has been
engaged as soloist no less than Is

Charles w. Clark, the well known
American baritone, has this season
made several recital tours through
England, Scotland, France, Germany,
and as far south as Portugal. Where
ever he has visited he has won the
most enthusiastic comments for his
singing. He is universally spoken of
as wonderfully great artist, not only
finished qualities of his art.
Changes i'm Constitution.
Some real thrills are promised in
the report of the committee to revise
the constitution of the State Teach
ers association. The report of the
committee looks to closer permanent
organization of the teachers of Kan
sas- This is not, some have slyly
suggested, the outcome of the allega-
tions that the wishes of the educators
were wholly disregarded in the DELHI
erations of the last legislature, but
the reorganization is the result of a
settled plan on the part of educators
to organize permanently in order that
the best in education may be brought
to public notice and worked out in
practice.
Several striking changes are pro-

Henderson Martin, the chairman OF
the section, has made an especial effort
to arrange attractive program, in
Guiding a number OF live topics Ior

IT desire, therefore, to urge that you
encourage your teachers to come to
the association, and that you send at
least one representative of your board
to attend the general meetings and the

BY doing this you will not only be en-
coura ging and furthering the cause OF
education throughout the state, but
you will also be serving the best in
terests of your schools as well.

probation of all past cooperation, 1
