FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD.

1t has come to my attention that
some of the citizens of this commu-
nifty are saying that the sheriff s
office is negligent in not detecting
violations of the state laws relating
to gambling. I hereby offer a re-
ward of fifty dollars to any one who
furnishes this office with evidence
that results in the conviction of any
persons for violating the said bamb-
ling laws within the town of Malta.
And I will give this reward gladly,
as an evidence of my desire to see
the laws respected and enforced.

But outside of New York, where finan-
cial operations were more nearly on a

BOOKER n. WASHINGTON.

In his tribute to Booker T. Wash
ington, Colonel Roosevelt character
lied him as zone of the most useful
citizens of our land" There will be
general agreement that the character
ization is eminently suitable. With a
prophetic vision, he sensed that there
could only be a solution of the negro
problem in this country by helping the
negro to help himself, by providing
him with practical education that
would lift him from the rut of sloth
to a plane of remunerative activity
and consequent independence that are
so necessary for all humans if they
are to carry for themselves the bur-
dens of life, and enjoy any Of its hap
piness and blessings. The famous
Tuskegee institute in Alabama was the
outcome of Mr.. Washington's endeavor
to bring his vision to a realization.
That is, this institution, so inseparably
linked with the name of it's founder
and head, is his paramount accom-
plishment of tangible variety. But
what he has done for the negro race
in this country, and for the white race,
too, which is also deeply concerned in
the negro problem, is far from being
confined to the establishment of the
uShSSO0 INSTITUTE anu us Q0NSlOpInSnI
into the largest and most important of
the negro schools of the nation. His
larger accomplishment for his race
and for all the people of the country
is his projection of the Tuskegee idea,
if it may so be designated. 1t has
come t. be accepted on all sides as
the essentially right one for the bet
of the conditions of the
negroes of this country, and especially
for the hordeS of them who have their
homes in the south. Schools modelled
along its lines are coming into being
rapidly. And the graduates of Tuske-
gee, and similar schools, are carrying
its message by precept and example to
their people, and the latter are profit
ing by them greatly. Booker T. Wash
ngton has passed on, but the wonder
full work that he began and carried
SO successfully will not die
with him. Its foundations are too
firm; its pretensions are too reason
able. Another generation will see a
marked improvement in the condi-
ions of the negroes of the south, and
LII over the country. The foresight
and force of Mr.. Washington will have
paved the way for it, and made it
possible. A most useful citizen of
heSe United States he was indeed.

5 DAY CATTLE MARKET
Cattle Growers Criticise Irregularity
of Sales and Prices.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Discussion of
the question of instituting five day
markets at the stock yards was taken
up today at the conference of cattle
interests being held here under the
auspices of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Pohn P. Rus
sell. president of the United Master
Butchers association of America, as
serted that the men employed at the
various stock yards would be greatly
benefited by a five day market for
cattle instead of the present two. 1t
would, he said, give regularity to their
incomes, While at present he said they
never know what they are going to
earn.
Speakers representing the cattle
producers criticised the packers for
not maintaining steady prices each
day of the week. They contended
that this was within the power of the
packers.
It was explained that while stock
yards are open six days a week,
eighty per cent of the receipts come
in two days-Monday and Wednesday
in Chicago-aDd that buyers must be
present on those days if they wish for
the widest range of quality to select

STOCK MARKET PROBE
Two Kansans Attend Investigation at
Chicago This Week.

Two Kansans, Joe Mercer, state
livestock sanitary commissioner, and
w. J. Tod, president of the Kansas
stockmen's association, are today par
ticipating in the stock market probe in
Chicago. Both men will urge action
by the federal government in full
investigation of conditions.
Mercer and Tod left Topeka Mon
day evening and will represent the
Kansas stockmen and shippers at the
meeting. The hearing in Chicago IS
under direction of federal depart
ments and an effort will be made to
learn the cause for the extensive drop
in prices on the livestock markets.
Kansas shippers have urged that i'll
view of the limited supply of i've
stock and the high prices of feed that
the low market prices are unwar-
ranted. Recently Dudley Doolittle,
congressman from the Fourth Kansas
district, announced that he would ask
for an investigation by a congressional
committee. If the Chicago probe fails
to produce results, Doolittle will carry
the fight before congress-

THE GAS SUPPLY.

Once again does the local gas COM
pany take occasion to warn Tope-
kans that there will not be gas
enough this winter to warrant any
attempts being made to use it for
heating purposes. This sort of a
warning is an annual affair with the
gas company, and subsequent events
in the form of lack of gas and ice
bergy houses have given ample testi-
mony of it's merit. But gas is such
n convenient fuel that many people
simply will not heed these warnings.
They seem to hope against hope that
maybe the gas company is endeaVor-
ing to fool them, or else they figure it
out that so many will be scared into
going back to coal or wood that there
will be plenty of gas for ating pur-
poses for the few who are foxy
enough to stick to it. There being no
mortgage on this idea, and it being so
plausible and obvious, the few
who cling to the gas for heating be-
come many and they SILVER around
their homes in consequence. But ex-
perience would seem to have taught
cOnvincingly by this time that enough
gas for heating purposes is out of the
question for Topekans when real win
ter weather is on deck, and the gas
supply of the last couple of days
would also appear to indicate pretty
conclusively that even in just ordi-
narily cold weather, it will be a fail
ure this winter season for heating
stoves and furnaces. The gas COM
pany says the supply will be better
than it has been during the recent
cold snap, as it was interfered with
by necessary repairs and changes in
the pipe lines in Oklahoma, but the
company insists emphatically that the
improvement will not be sufficient to
heat houses when cold weather comes
with its full wintry force. So Tope-
ka1S should make their plans accord
ingly, if they wish to keep warm If
there is enough gas this winter for
cooking and lighting purposes, the
people of Topeka will really have no
cause for complaint, and perhaps if
they would discontinue their fruitIess
efforts to heat their houses with it,
the supply might be adequate for
these essential purposes.

VIA THE FOOT ROUTE
Two Young New Workers Arrive on
seeing America Tour.

Starting from New York city with d
capital of five dollars, two young mem
Edward J. Smith and Carl A.. Mlllel'
are accomplishing their task OF cross
ing America on foot -
They started July Is, and nave
walked all the way and have stopped
over and taken in the state capltals
of five different states. En- route they
make it a point to visit factories and
other places of note, so that their trip
will not only be a pleasurable one Out
also an unusually educational one:
While in Topeka they have called on
Governor Capper and have visited
some of the hospitals and made a gen.
eral tour of the city.
Hemmed in by the walls of a great
city, such as New York is, they took
this opportunity to get out close to
nature and into the great American
outdoors. Asked if they are college
course through the University of
America: America is our school, travel
is our teacher and nature our books.
and from these we are rapidly learn
ing the true Significance of America"
The boys say that most of the people
do not know enough about their coun-
try.
From New York the route led along
the Lincoln Highway to Pittsburg,
then along the Braddock Road to the
Old National Trails to st. Louis. From
this point they took the scenic route of
the Missouri Pacific to Kansas City,
thence to the end of their journey the
way will lead along the scenic and
historic Santa Fe Trail.
The walkers sleep out most of the
time and put up at the Y. M. c. A
when they reach one. While here they
will stay at the Railroad branch of
the Y. M c. A. The young men have
visited about twenty-five of the "Ys'
throughout the trip and have found
the glad and welcome hand at all of
them.
The two "See Americans" make
their expenses by lecturing on their
trip on the value of travel Tonight
they will speak on one of the street
corners concerning their travels.
The boys were too late hear any of
the chautauquas so they got up one
of the own, the Young America chau-
tauqua, and during their talks are
making a speciality of the 'Value of
Travel, Better Roads and the
ILLUMINATION of War"
AS far as Kansas City they pulled
two-wheeled wagon with their lug
gage in it. They have shipped it over
this state in order to get to Colorado
before real winter sets in on them. At
La Junta, Colo, they will again as
sumo the possibilities of pushing the
Fordlet over the Rockies and through
the desert.
While in Kansas City they appeared
in Pathe Weekly moving picture
with Mayor Jost of that city.
The boys say that the Kansas people
have treated them very nicely

these diminished sharply during Sep
TENDER and turned into steadily in
creasing gains in October. The latest
returns are even more encouraging,
many of the big trunk lines both east
and west showing very handsome re-
coveries, particularly such roads as
Burlington, New York Central, Penn
sylvania, Canadian Pacific and others.
Bigger tonnage, better rates and lower
expenses mean good net results The
number of idle cars November L was
only $4,000, compared with 10000 a
year ago. The iron trade continues
to furnish examples of unprecedented
activity. Since the first of September
orders for over 100000 tons of rails
have been placed, about $50 locomo-
tives and more than 5000 cars. This
only represents portion OF the new
activity in the steel trade as some of
the railroads are building considerab BILE
equipment on their own account, and
the steel companies have received
large orders for outside construction
work; not to mention munition orders.
The report of untitled tonnage issued
by the United States Steel Corporation,
which is running nearly 100 per cent
capacity, surpassed all expectations;
showing an increase of $4,000 tons,
as compared with the amount of bust
ness on the books in the previous
month. Prices for steel are steadily
and this industry is now
enjoying a period of prosperity which
in some respects surpasses all others
on record. The facts just cited prove
industrial revival, based as stated in
our previous advices upon big crops,
abundant money and foreign NUM-
ton orders. This activity is already
spreading to various branches of trade.
The textile industries show a healthy
tone, interior merchants having been
often caught with comparatively
empty shelves, which are now being
Labor is well employed
and generally at good wages"
