SAVED THEIR JOBS.
"BlOOd and Marriage, Clause Taken
From Last Conference Bill

For four hours Saturday night the
conference over the executive and
judicial appropriation bill, carrying
81, 700 for the running expenses
two years was tied up while the house
conferees fought for the elimination
of the famous Price blood and mar
riage" relationship clause. The house
won, thereby saving the jobs of per-
haps a dozen or twenty relatives of
state officers and department heads

struck off the list of state house en-

grief and lanentation through every

fact, there has never been any serious
question of the usefulness of the Serv-

provisions of the civil service bill

plying for increases in freight rates
on certain commodities, which they
estimate would increase their reve-
nueS 100000 a year, the new
schedule which they propose would in
the case of grain in some instances re-
suit in actual reductions from the
present rate.
f. B. Townsend, traffic manager of
the Minneapolis and st. Louis road, so
testified today in the interstate COM
merce commission hearing of the
railroads application for higher rates.
Mr.. Townsend sought to justify the
railroads proposal to increase the
rate on grain and grain products an
average of one cent a hundred pounds
on certain shipments to Chicago and
cents a hundred pounds to gulf
ports. He dealt particularly with the
effect of the advance on traffic from
South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa.
An analysis of the present and pro-
posed rates from these states to the
various grain markets was presented
purporting to show that to many no
advance would be effected while to
others present rates would be actually
reduced because of the Inauguration
of commodity rates on grain where at
present no commodity rates apply the
grain being hauled under class rates.
From South Dakota, said Mr..
Townsend, there are no changes in
rates to Chicago, Peoria, Minnea polls
or Duluth From "a South Dakota
ages .545 cents on flaxseed, GIT cents
on wheat, and .55S cents on coarse
grain, being thus in each case about
half cent per hundred pounds. From
South Dakota to Kansas City there is
an advance of half cent from 1 6 sta
tons and one cent from five stations

change on wheat. From 21 stations

To Kansas City there is an average

reduction of 1.27 cents from 26 sta
tons. while from Is stations there is
no change at all on coarse grain. On
wheat no change is asked from Min
neSOta to Kansas City.
From Iowa stations to Chicago an

A SartoriaI Anomaly.

ing part of Kansas, where the indi-

lucky univer sity product who wears
taifor-made clothes, smokes 25-cent
cigars and has the general austere
bearing of a high church dignitary.
But the peculiarities mentioned are as

ity for hard work and his love of
the intricate detail that goes with the
job of being chairman of a legisla-
tive ways and means committee. Prob
ably the apparent nerve that ena bles
him to wear his good clothes and his
dignified bearing at home in the Sew
enth district is what the people out
there liked about him SO much that
they picked him out of the legislature
and sent him to congress. Anyhow,
he will disappoint the fasteners who
expect a man from western Kansas to
come to Washington wearing top
boots and a SLOUGH hat. And it is
enth district politicians of both parties
who are busy looking for a hole in his
political foundation where they can
pour some nitro-glycerin for the pur-
pose of blowing him into eternity in

won't be because the new Democrat
congressman from Kinsley has been
asleep on his job. He's bothered with

PULLING FOR JESS
Nj. l.. Willard, Local Man, Is
Brother of Famous Fighter.
He Says Jess Wanted To Be a
Horse Man.

There is at least one man in Topeka
who will be bit anxious to learn the
results of the Willard-Johnson fight
at Havana on Easter Sunday. This
man is NJ. L. Willard of 625 Buchanan
street, who is older brother of
Jess.
NJ. L. Willard works in the mailing
room of the Topeka poStOffice and
has been on Uncle Sans payroll for
the past six years. He is a man of
ordinary size and quiet hammered, and
the only thing about him to indicate
that he might be the brother of a ia
nous fighter is his keen eye, his COM
posed manner and his we'll developed
hand that looks like it might easily
double into very menacing fist, if oc-
casion should demand it..
When interviewed by a State Jour
nal reporter this morning, Mr.. Will
lard said he feels sure Jess has more
than an even chance of winning from
the big negro, and sincerely hopes that
he will.
When asked when he had last
heard from Jess, he replied:
Just before he left Ell Paso, after
the Juarez fight had been abandoned,
had a card from him in which he
said he was in the best condition he
had ever been in. and that he was
confident of winning from Johnson if
the match could only be arranged.
Jess doesn't write to me very
much he continued. "and I guess he
IS pretty busy now However, we
hear from his wife. regularly and she
tells us what he is doing and how he
is getting along"
jess BoyhCod Ambition.
To questions regarding Jess early
life and family, Mr.. Willard replied
as follows:
There are four brothers of us Jess
is the youngest. One of the brothers
lives near ST. Marys and the other in
Oklahoma. We were raised on a farm
in Pottawatomie county near ST. Clair.
So far I know, Jess never thought
of becoming a prize fighter when he
was a boy. His ambition was to be-
come a stockman. He always loved
horses, and he did considerable trad
ing in cattle and horses before he
made his first ring appearance in
Oklahoma.
Never. so far as 1 know, did he use
tobacco, liquor or drugs in any form.
Yes. our mother was a Kentuckian.
Jess is som ething like feet inches
tall 1 think he wears No. 10 collar
and a No. 10 shoe.
broke into the fighting game. He
married a Miss Hattie Evans, of near
Emmett. They have four children,
three girls and one boy. The boys
name is Jess, jr. He is only about 16
months old, but Jess already thinks
he is the champion kid of the world.
Mrs. Willard and the children make
their home in San Francisco"

The Treatment OF

IL is quite refreshing these days to read OF

When called to a case of La grippe, the
patient is usually seen when the fever is
present. as the chill which occasionally
ushers in the disease, has generally passed
away. DIR. Bell then orders that the bowels

FAIR PLAY
VS.. DISREPUTABLE METHODS

Jenkins sells Steinway, Weber, Vose,
Kurtzmann and other good pianos. Why
don't you sell some of these makes?
Jenkins sells in Topeka at the same
prices the same pianos are sold in Kansas
City, and that price is the same to every
one. Will you show the last twenty-five
sales and prices you charged on any one
piano?
Jenkins pays no commissions to any one.
Will you tell why you pay commissions?
Don't be sidetracked. Stick to these
facts and ask these questions. Watch
them turn red in the face and seek to
evade the issue. There's reason.
If we made mlsstep they would find it
out. Our business is too big, our reputa-
ton too well established, our plan is right.
They can only misrepresent, and they do
that.
To learn about us come to us, get the
facts from us, and not from those who
make it a practice to knock us.
We want fair play. The people want it,
and we will stay right here doing right and
keeping at it until all the people know the
Jenkins Plan and the House of Jenkins.

There are many people in Topeka who

Schaffer, Estey, Ludwig and other world
famed pianos.
There are many who own Pianolas, the
best player piano made.
No other house in Topeka can sell these
pianos and players.
There are many people who want these
players and pianos, so many in fact that we
opened store in Topeka to serve these
people and give them the same advantages
in prices, in terms they could get in our
Kansas City store.

people-the Jenkins Plan of ONE price
