Not only is Kansas, the richest state
per capita in the nation, but Prohibl-
ton has made living conditions so
splendid there that the people are
practically refusing to die Her death
rate is per 1000 population which is
the lowest IN the nation. They are so
busy going to church and Sunday school
and riding over their magnificent roads
in automobiles, falling in love and
getting married they do not have time
to 60 to jail and positively refuse to go
to the poorhouse, There being no
drunken husbands raising ructiOns in
the home, wives and mothers have
quit going crazy as the following
clearly proves: Kansas has 105
counties-in eighty seven of these there
are no insane; in fifty-four there are no
feeble-minded; in ninety-siX there are
no Inebriates and in the nine remaining
curiosity. Thirty-eight county poor
houses are vacant and have been for a
decade; fifty-three county jails are
empty and sixty, five counties have no
one in the penitentiary and many of the
counties have OF had a criminal jury
case in ten years and throughout the
state according to the Attorney
General: "A grand jury is so uncommon
that one half Of our people would not
know what it is and how to use it D."
Kansas folks are not only the richest
per capita agriculturists in the world
but they are the best educated She
has permanent school fund of so, 900
600 and her Illiteracy is the lowest in
the nation. There is million and a
quarter in her state treasury and her
bonded Indebtedness is 1910, 600 only
and this is held by her permanent
school fund. Ninety-eight per cent. of
her 400, 600 school children have never
seen saloon.

 The German army of Mouse in the advance through Belgium is meeting with determined resistance from the Beleians. Wednesday Brussels re ported declaring the Germans were repulsed all along the line but yes terdav the attack was renewed with greater energy and probably with considerable endorsements on the German side. It must not be forgot fen that all news comes from British and French sources. Germany's yer sion of what happened has not beer fold Under existing conditions it win be some time before the progress of the German army can be told t' tbe outside world.

BRUSSELS. Aug 6.--It is estimated the German casualties Wednesday were 5000. The invaders lost a large number of guns The infantry divi- sion supported by cavalry marched into mined grounds. The Belgiums datoned the mines and the entire Ger man battalion was killed Twelve hundred wounded Germans were found.
 It is estimated 10000 Germans are facing 25.OO0 Belgians, in an attack on Fort Parchon, Northeast of Liege. The Belgians permitted the Germans to approach the walls of the fortress then turned their guns with appalling slaughter A detachment of Uhlans entered the city Wednesday night but were surprised and all were killed. Despite the heroism of the Belgians 1t is thought the Germans will event ually gain Liege whence the march to Namur in an effort to cross Belgium into France will commence.
 At Namur a strongly fortified re- sistance equal to Liege is expected.

 DIVERGENT VIEWS
Some State AnaCondaS Interfer-

BUTTE. Aug. 6.-Widely divergent views as to whether the local mining companies win interfese with the pol itical efforts of the unions, were pre- scented to the federal industrial rela- tions commission in session here. Clarence A. Smith, former Industrial Worker of the World, and acting mayor of Butte. testified that the An- aconda companies interference with the local unions affairs was the cause of the factional troubles which culmi- mated in the rioung of June 13. and the staying of a man ten days later
 Opposing Smith was Dennis Murphy president of the local branch of the Western Federation Of Miners in 1912. He said he never knew the company to be active politically Smith was positive a body of men were dis charged by Anaconda in 1912 because of their socialisuc beliefs. Murphy declared the men were adherents of the Industrial Workers of the World and voted the union money to pay sub scriptions to "Ripsaw" and "Solidar- ity," publications which Murphy said condemned the policy of the Western Federation of Miners.

 Both houses of congress adjourned when the death was announced, and for a brief time the wheels of the gov ernment were practically stopped while every one paid respect 10 the loss of the president
 During the day Mrs Wilson spoke to Dr. Grayson about the president, whose health she thought more about than she did her own.
 Promise me" she whispered faint ly that if go, you will take care of my husband"
 It was the same touch of devotion which she SO many times repeated her constant anxiety having been that the president might not worry about her or be disturbed in his official tasks
 Funeral arrangements have not yet been made.
 The beginning of the end came at 10 o'clock this morning when Dr. E. P Davis, of Philadelphia, who had been called in for consultation, realizied that the time for hope had passed He took the president into the Red Room of the White House and there in broken voice told him the truth The presidents face blanched but he bore the shock we'll He was in formed the end was only a question of hours President Wilson then took his daughters, Mrs w.
