"the laborer is worthy of his hire" At

thought when it advanced the salary OF
our popular, Efficient and worthy State
Auditor, Horace F. Graham. to $500

thousands of dollars. He is an Auditor

The United States weather bureau
wasn't born until July 1, 1890. 1t was
created as a result of an act of con-
gress October 1, 1890. Up to that
time the weather was handled by
the United States army signal corps.
Jennings was listed in the corps as a
sergeant.
Weather Service Established.
The secretary of war established
weather service as a result of the fol-
lowing joint resolution approved Feb
ruary 9, 1870:
Be it resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in congress
assembled, that the secretary of war
be, and he hereby is, authorized and
required to provide for taking meteor
illogical observations at the military
stations in the interior of the CONT
and territories of the United States,
and for giving notice on the northern
lakes and on the seacoast, by magnetic
telegraph and marine signals, of the
approach and force of storms.
Moved to Columbian Building.
When the meteorological work of
the signal office was transferred to
the department of agriculture ar
rangementS were made for more COM
modiOuS quarters for the local weather
man. Rooms No. IA and 46 were pro-
cured in the Columbian building, then
known as the Knox building. The
move was made April 9, 1892. 1t was
July l, 1908, that headquarters were
transferred to the fifth floor of the
Mulvane building.
The work of the Topeka station has
grown steadily, until at present suite
of six rooms is required. And it is

Daily Forecast.
To the general public the weather
bureau probably is best known
through the medium of its daily fore
casts and weather maps. These fore
casts are based upon simultaneous OBJ
servations of local weather conditions
taken daily at a. m. and p. m,
seventy-fifth meridian, at approx
mately 200 regular observing stations
scattered throughout the United States
and the West Indies, and upon similar
reports received daily from various
points in other parts of the Northern
Hemisphere.
Each of the weather bureau stations
is operated by one or more trained OBJ
servers, and is equipped with mercu-
rial barometerS, thermometers, wind
vanes, rain and snow gauges, and
thermometers, and many of them with
sunshine recorders, paragraphs, Their
mographs, and other devices which
make a continuous automatic record
of the local weather conditions and
changes. The results of the twice
daily observations are Immediately
telegraphed to the central office at
Washington, d. c., and other forecast
centers where they are charted for

TO forecast the weather cOnOl-
tons that may be expected to prevail
during the following Sc to IS hours.
Some Quick Work.
Within two hours after the morning
observations have been taken the fore
casts are telegraphed from the fore
cast centers to about 1900 principal
distributing points, whence they are
further disseminated by telegraph,
telephone, wireless biography, and
mail. The forecasts reach nearly 90
900 addresses daily by mail. the
greater part being delivered early in
the day and none later, as u rule, than
p. m. of the day of issue, and are
available to more than 5000 teIe-
phone subscribers within an hour of
the time of issue.
Sub-StationS Number 13O
The local office of the United States
weather bureau IS the center for all
government meteorological k.
There are 1870 sub-statiOns where OBJ
servations in respect to tempera tIlre
and rainfall are recorded every day
in the year. Instruments are fur
nished through the Topeka office, and
all reports are received here.

The bureau points out that the roos-
ter does not help the hens to lay. but
merely fertiliZes the germ of the egg
and such an egg spoils more quickly
than an unfertile one.
The five rules laid down in the bull
letin are to keep the nests clean, to
gather eggs twice daily, to keep the
eggs in cool dry place, to market the
product at least vice a week and to
sell. kill or confine all male birds as
soon as the Matching season is over.

But Flora does not spend all of his
time in publicity work. He is one OF
the busiest men in Topeka. There are
a thousand and one details of the
work of the office that he attends to
and he puts in many hours preparing
exhaustive reports for the govern
ment.
Flora has been in the service of the
United States weather bureau since
1902. He was sent to Washington
from Indiana for instruction. Then
he went to the office at Eicksburg,
Miss. He has been in Topeka since
1905.
Jennings, Section Director.
T B. Jennings. section director, has
been in the service since 1871. He
had the ranking of sergeant in the
United States signal corps from 1871
to 1891. He was stationed at WASH
ington. D. c.. for some years in fore
cast work. Later he was in charge of
the service at Oswego, New YORK. He
opened an office in Springfield, Ill, in
the early eighties Next he was put in
charge of the station at Chicago. From
Chicago he came to Topeka to organize
the state service.
Jennings can tell many interesting
stories of the experiences in his early
life although it is not often that he
can be induced to talk of the early
days"
AS a mere boy he ,rfed to enlist for
duty in the Civil war, but he was sent
back home by General Grant because
of his tender age. He was strong
and well built youth, and was de-
termined to go to the front. He was
eventually allowed to go for a few
months as guard for prisoners.
As an Indian scout he later had
many exciting experiences He trav
eled from Kansas to Arizona and went
as far as the Yukon BASIN
He helped settle Independence,
Kan, and was a prominent figure in
early Kansas history. 1t was later that
he entered the United States signal
corps.

There is scarcely q postoffice in Kan

bulletin covering twenty-three Kansas
stations is issued from the local office
each day. A weekly weather and
crop bulletin is sent out to those who
particularly desire such a report. A
complete monthly report containing

dence, proving that neither of them were in
Franks office, at that time, necessarily
caught Frank in the tolls of guilt.
But Slaton abollshes Franks statements,
annlhllates Monteen, and thus opens the way
out OF the trap which his firms client had
fallen into, without knowing it.
Partner Slaton states:
The County Physician, who examined her on
Sunday morning, declared there was no violence
to the parts and the blood was characteristic of
menstrual flow. There no external signs OF
rape.
DR.. Hurt, the County Physician, swore to
the scalp wound ranging ''fron doacn up
qca1d." He spoke of the bruised, black eve,
the scratches on the face, made after death;
the ruptured hymen, and the blood on the
drawers; the blood on the parts : and he
said, Il don't know whether it was fresh or
menstrual blood"
the vagina "cou1d have been produced by
penetration Immediately preceding death.
She had q normal virgin uterus She was,
not pregnant"
When you read this extract from the Off
clal record, and compare it with Stations
garbling of DR.. Hurts testimony, you will
understand the labored effort to create
false impression.
On -cross-eXamlnation, DR.. Hurt did say,
II found no OutUard signs of rape" But
when a girl is knocked unconscious, and can
make no further resistance, would YOU ex-
pect more than ruptured hymen, blood on
the privates, and blood on the ripped draw
ers? Where else could there be any outward
signs of rape on an unconscious girl, the vic
time of an understood man?
Governor Slaton ignored the evidence of
DIR. II. +. Harris, also a State officer. This
physician swore that there were marks Of
violence on the walls of the vagina; that the
epitheleum was pulled loose, completely de-
tached in places blood vessels dilated i'm
medately beneath the surface, and a great
deal of hemorrhage in the surrounding It's
sues.
''Ihe dilation of the blood vessels indicate
to me that the injury aUas made IN the

haps ten or fifteen minutes.
There was evidence of violence in the
neighborhood of the hymen.
The e0idemce Of viozence IN the vagina had
e0identzy been done just before DEATH"
DIR. Harris swore that menstrual blood
would not have caused the conditions he
found In the blood vessels and the walls of
the inner private parts.
On cross xamination, DR.. Harris testified,
"Thc viozence to the private parts might
have been produced by the finger, or By
other means, BUT I FOUND THE ETI-
DENCE OF VIOLENCE."
