few new MEMBERS.
Commercial Club Campaign Came to
Unsuccessful Close Today.

The Commercial club campaign for
members came to close today with
the result that a total of twenty-five
new names were added to the club
roll Only a few business men took
time from their work to participate in
the effort to obtain four hundred ad-
ditional members. 1t will be seen that
the goal was not far from being
reached.
A meeting of the membership COM
mittee of the club will be held next
Tuesday noon to devise permanent
plan for keeping the club membership
to the necessary standard.
When H. l.. Cook, secretary of the
Kansas State Fair association, saw
the lack of response that came to the
call for workers in the campaign, he
had the following to say:
THE campaign for new members for
the Commercial club now being made
is not being responded to by the bust
ness men of Topeka as it should be.
There is an immense amount of public
welfare work to be done in a city OF
this size and Importance. The ex-
pense of doing this should not come
from a few individuals. The $12 per
year required for membership is due
from each business man of Topeka to
keep up a central Office where mat
tiers of a public nature can be attend
ed to without calling for the time OF
the business man personally
1T is not a question as to whether
the machinery of this office is being
run to suit each one. The conditions
require an organization of this kind
but it cannot be maintained success
fully unless we have more of the men
of Topeka interested at least to the
extent of membership fee. Forget
selfish interests and get in line with
your financial help if not your per-
sonal help

BOOSTER DAY CONTEST
Topeka and Sioux City Have Plans to
Raise Money.

Topeka and Sioux City will have a
booster day. contest. This was de-
cided early this afternoon at a meet
ing of fans held in the rooms of the
Commercial club.
According to Arch NJ. Catlin, presi-
dent of the Topeka Baseball associa-
ton, who was chairman of the meet
ing, the management of the Sioux
City team have already expressed
themselves as being agreeable to the
holding of such contest. The
booster day dates will be arranged
within few days.
association is behind the plan and will
undertake the sale of memberships in
the organization at one dollar each.
These mem bershipS will entitle a per-
son to a fifty cent ownership in
player who will be purchased for the
team, and to admittance to the game
on booster day."
1t was agreed today to give three
prizes for those procuring the most
money in memberships. A season

The COURT Baked.
Declined to Choose Between Progress
sives and Regulars in Illinois.

Springfield, Ill, April 4.-The SUI
preme court today refused to assume
the responsibility of giving a decision
as to whether the Republican or the
Progressive party is the minority par
ty in Illinois. The court refused to
allow the motion of the Danville Pro-
gressives for petition to file manda-
mus proceedings against County Judge
Allen, to compel him to name a Pro-
gressiVe as member of the Danville
election commission. In denying the
motion, Chief Justice Dunn said:
The court has jurisdiction over
original actions in mandamuS but for
many years its business has been such
that it has declined to entertain juris-
diction of such eases, except in cases
of general public interest or cases by
or against public officials involving
the discharge of their official duties.
This is not a case of general public
interest. 1t is a local matter, and no
reason appears why a sufficiently ade-
quate remedy may not be obtained, if
any remedy is necessary upon appli-
cation to the local courts.

That Is Report From Evansville and
They're Calling for Help.

Evansville, April 4.-Thirty thou
sand persons within radius of 80
miles of Mt. Vernon, Ind, are calling
for help, according to the forecaster
at that point. With forty boats in
the rescue service, work had been
confined to taking persons from en-
dangered homes to Mt Vernon.
He said no effort was being made
to supply the marooned farmers with
food. The greatest suffering is on
the Illinois side of the Wabash.
The forecaster added that between
$4,000 and $4,000 head of live stock
would perish unless immediate meas
ures We're taken.
Levees Out at Hickman.
Memphis, April A telephone mes
sage from Hickman, KY, stated that
the city levee there went out shortly
after 1890 today, flooding the factory
district. No loss of life was reported.
Reports on the condition of the
levees north of Memphis were encour-
aging It was stated that no bad spots
have developed. Labor is scarce and
this may retard the work of strength
ening the bikes.
Major Markham, in charge of the
government work, said today that re-
ports indicated the Reelfoot levee
would witstand. Little apprehension
is felt in Memphis.
Flood in Wisconsin.
Oconto, Wis, April 4.-Oconto is again

Dom Pedro and the Telephone.

Bell had little success at the Phila-
delphia exhibition, and his invention
would have passed unnoticed, even,
had it not been for Dom Pedro, the
emperor of Brazil. For the story we
are indebted to the Revue Scientifique.
Dom Pedro who attended the exhibit
ton, attended by his suite, when he
came across Graham Bell, whom he
remembered as a teacher in a school of
deaf mutes. Dom Pedro came to his
stand and asked him to "set his ma
chine going"
A wire crossed the room from wall
to wall. Dom Pedro stood at the re-
ceiver and Bell at the transmitter. No
one understood exactly what was hap
pening, when suddenly the emperor
lifted his head dramatically and shout
ed, in absolute amazement, Hes
talking" The scientists in Dom Pc
dro's suite rushed to verify this ex-
traordinary announcement, and ''the
more they knew of electricity the less
they would believe their ears The
next day the newspapers were filled
with the news, and the telephone be-
came famous immediately.-Wes

difference. between reformation and
right formation. No two children are
exactly alike, therefore the constltu,
ton, physical, mental and moral
tendencies OF, each should be studied
and training adapted to its needs.
ITO apply suggestion to. child
training" said Mr.. Riddell, three
things are necessary: First, the sug-
gestion should bel formulated IN
simple, concise language that the
child can fully comprehend; second,
sympathetic. cooperation must be es-
tablished between the parent and the
child, so that the little one. wants to
do what is suggested, third, the sus.
gestion should be repeated slowly and
earnestly several times, with an; ef,
fort to make it as impressive as pos
sible. The time to use suggestion ef-
fectively is when removed from
temptation"
He said that the religious training
of a child should begin in tbabyhood; ;
that the idea Of waiting until child
arrived at years of discretion was
Irrational, because religion Is a thing
of the heart, and not Of the head, ana
no one ever gets old enough or wise
enough to receive religious experi-
ence through the mind. The wise men
who know God come to this precious
knowledge by becoming "as a little
child"
