PENWELL FOR HIM.
Topekan Is Still Staunch Friend of
Senator Thompson.

REGARDLESS of the fuss among Kan
sas Democrats as to the manner in
which United States Senator William
H. Thompson is handling the patron
age question in Washington, the Junior
senator has at least one Staunch To-
peka Democrat who is willing to en-
dorse every move that the Garden City
man has made. That friend is L.
NJ. Penwell, whose Democracy and
strength among the members of the
ton or suspicion.
Mr.. Penwell is just recovering from
a three weeks sickness, but he was
never too sick to keep in touch with
the political affairs in the state. He
watched the Wichita postoffice fight
and the United States district attOr-
neyship contest and believes that
Thompson handled both matters in a
manner that should win him friends
among the followers of his party.
81 am for Senator Thompson mighty
strong and don't care who knows it,
vowed the we'll known Topeka Demo-
crat today as he discussed the federal
patronage problem in Kansas. There
isn't a more deserving Democrat in
Kansas than Senator Fred Robertson
He is a good lawyer and was entitled
to the appointing AS for that Wich-
tia postoffice fight, I am right with
Thompson. Captain Shields has been
a Democrat all the time and when
Democrats were scarce and badly
needed. 1 don't discredit anyone, but
if there is a Democrat in Wichita who
deserves reward or recognition it is
Captain Shields and Senator ThOmp
son did the right thing when he en-
dorSed him for the place"

CROOKS UP AGAINST IT
German Material Will Sound Death
knell of the Safe Blower.

The death knen of safe blowing as d
profession has been sounded. The
Qufck-witted, nimble-fingered gentleman
burglar, proficient in the use of eX-
plosives. to whom apparently the strong
est and most up-to-date safe falls an easy
prey, may find himself compelled to turn
his wits to other ends than that of safe
blowing. For safe blowing will be we'll
nigh impossible in the near future. This
not because city, state and federal police
have devised any new and more effective
methods of capturing the silk hated
brigands. The authorities doing their best
are apparently no match for the ingenious
safe blower.
Strangely enough this war of science
upon the safe blower has not started in
the United States. where applied sciences
and mechanics have reached greater
height than in any other country on
method of combating the safe blower
comes. The Krupps, the world-famous
manufacturers of ammunition and war
implements, have set their chemists and
engineers to work compromising a ma
terial strong enough to resist the largest
quantity of explosives that the safe blow
tools.
For months the chemists and engineers
of the Krupps have been at work steadily
and quietly making experiments. Now
they announce that such material has at
last been produced. This new material is
especially suitable for the manufacture oil
safes that will really be safe In spite of
all that the cleverest burglars and safe
crackers may attempt to do to them.
The material Will not allow itself to be
readily fused penetrated by the oxyny-
drogen or oXyacetylene burners now used
by many safe blowers. The material is a
variety of cast steel, is extremely hard,
and so great are its resisting powers that
it will Withstand the best boring tools
and will come out none the worse for the
onslaught made on it ny the most expert
safe cracker, the scientists assert. Thus
its security against mechanical forcing is
assured.
To ILLUSTRATE further the enormous
strength of this material the German
scientists say that to make hole 81
inches in plate of this material. lie
inches thick, with the oxyacetylene burn
err the safe cracker would be required to
put in from six to fourteen hours time.
From 2,--J to 3,709 gallons of acetylene
and from 200 to 1850 gallons of oxygen
would also be required.
The average safe blower can never have
much time at his disposal. Nor is he
ever In a position to supply himself with
so much gas. A single steel cylinder In
which compressed gases are transported
contains about 1,400 gallons of uncom-
pressed gas and weighs about 100
pounds The burglar would have to have
four such cylinders at the lowest to eff
feet an opening into the safe The trans
portation of SO many cylinders and the
other apparatus needed is task SO stag
gering that even the boldest safe cracker
would not undertake it.-Chfcago Inter

The Novelty.

A special Decoration day program
at the Novelty today will consist of a
beautiful two reel Biblical story, en-
titled Thus Sayeth the Lord The
picture begins with the parable of the
wise and foolish virgins and closes
with a scene illustrating the Lords
Prayer. 1t is an attractive offering,
the scenes are all in good taste. 1t
portrays the Savior talking with his
disciples in a rocky vale. The artistic
features of this offering are many.
particularly the woodland dances of
the foolish virgins. Besides this fea-
ture, a comedy entitled BILLY Plays
Poker" will be shown. This is of the
Gem make and one of their best
comedy offerings. Billy gets tangled
up in poker game on the train and
before he gets through he has nothing
left but his shoes and underwear His
adventures in a barrel are exception
ally funny and the comedy is great
throughout the entire reel. As an
added attraction the Washburn Glee
club, consisting of eighteen members,
who have just completed a tour of the
Santa F'e system, will sing favorite and
popular songs between every show in
the evening. This company of singers
received the highest praise OF any
Santa Fe attraction On account OF
the Novelty being large and cool and
we'll ventilated and with the excep-
tionally good offerings, the aspects of
this house are good for Decoration
day.

tickets. Extraordinary though these suS
geStons were, however they were not
more than some budget schemes which
have actually been carried out in the past
in order to raise the country's revenue
In 1888 for instance a tax of shillings
had to be paid by the parents of every
little stranger born in England, except
by people in receipt of aims. This tax fell
heavily on the masses. to whom florin
meant a great deal more than it does to-
day. The nobility and the gentry: too.
found the tax very irksome, for it in
a duke adding $50 to the revenue.
No small amount of fun has been made
time ago imposing graduated tax on
men with boards. But it is by no means
an original proposal
Queen Elizabeth put tax of farthings
on every beard of fortnights growth,
while two centuries ago Peter the Great
insisted that all mobiles who wore boards
On several occasions it has been said
that the selfish individual who refuses to
lead another mans daughter to the altar
and provide for her for the rest of his
life should be mulcted a certain amount
each year, 1t is an old idea. for at one
time resident of England who reached
the age of % was liable to tax of
shilling per annum until he married.
Furthermore widowers without children
were Obliged to pay the same amount I'M
til they married again, while the gentry
and nobility paid higher tax in proper
ton TO their rank.
As chancellor of the eXchequer, Pitt
rendered himself very unpopular by the
extra ordinary means to which he resorted
in order to improve the state of the
country's finances. He it was who first
introduced the income tax in 1855 and tie
also levied one upon horses. which caused
a certain farmer to use a COW for the pur-
pose of riding to and from market.-Phila-

SMILEY IS WORRIED.
Grain Man Fears Dry Weather and
Bugs Hurt Wheat.

Every rainless day from one and
one-half to two million dollars is be-
ing clipped off the value of the Kansas
wheat crop according to a statement
made by z. J. Smiley, secretary OF the
Kansas Grain Dealers association,
who last week made an extended trip
through the wheat belt and who in
his official capacity receives daily re-
ports of crop conditions.
Last Saturday Secretary Smiley sent
a report to Chicago in which he eSti-
mated that the wheat crop OF Kansas
provided that rain fell this week
would be S7,000,O00 bushels-75, 0O0,-
600 bushels is about the average crop.
This estimate does not hold, says Sec
rotary Smiley, as Friday is here and
the rain has not yet arrived. Ana
moreover the chinch bugs are working
havoc in the entire eastern portion OF
the state, he says. A trip this week in
Shawnee county. according to Smiley,
revealed the fact that chinch bugs are
swarming in many fields by the mil
lions and that the Hessian flies are
doing damage. Drought is killing the
wheat in south-central and western
Kansas.
In his trip last week Secretary
Smiley covered Stafford, Barton, Paw
nee, Edwards, Ford, Meade, Clark,
Comanche, Pratt, Kingman and Sedg-
wick counties.
Secretary Smiley said: In Seward,
Meade and the west half of Clark
counties the wheat crop is practically
an entire failure. Nearly 40 per cent
of the wheat sown in Ford county has
been abandoned, and in Barton, Paw
nee, the west half of Stafford, Ed
wards, Pratt and Comanche the per-
centage is so.
I'VE dug down with a spade from s
inches to two feet and found no more
moisture than there is in a floor. 1t
is stated that there never was a sea
son when there were more high winds
I'm Shawnee county there are fields
that looked as if they would produce
20 to 25 bushels to the acre that may
never be cut-they are alive with
chinch bugs, and the Hessian flies are
doing damage. The entire portion of
the state is being besieged by chinch
bugs. In the extreme southeast por-
ton of Kansas the wheat has been
practically destroyed by the insects.
IF we have rain now followed by
hot weather the condition will not be
improved. but if we have rain followed
by cool weather wheat prospects will
be bettered. You may call me a
pessimist or a wheat killer, but what
[ have said is correct

FRECKLES
Don't Hide Them With Veil; Remove
Them With the OtiIne Pre-
scription-

This prescription for the removal of
freckles was written by a prominent
physician and IS usually so successful
in removing freckleS and giving a clear,
beautiful complexion that it is sold by
your druggist under an absolute guar
antee to refund the money if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a veil;
get an ounce of othine and remove
them. Even the first few applications
should show a wonderful improvement,
some of the lighter freckles vanishing
entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee
