FUR is THE RAGE THIS SEASON.

Edith NJ. Weidenfeld, assistant
fashion editor of the Woman's Home
Companion, says in a fashion talk in
the November issue of that magazine:
eur is the thing this season. The
new fashions proclaim it. There is no
garment too important, nc accessory
too small that does not bear out this
statement. In fact, so lavish is the
use of fur that it does not seem as
though there were enough big and
little animals in the world to fill the
demands of Fashion. So take notice,

Prohibitionists 993 votes.
a8 No Issues to Settle.
This year there is no senatorial
fight There is no contest for gov
ernor. A majority of the voters know
little and care less concerning the
fights for state treasurer, auditor, sec
rotary of state and superintendent of
public instruction There are no grave
issues to settle. Except in the case
where a man or woman desires to aid
in the nomination of a sheriff, coun-
ty clerk or township trustee, it is
probable the voter will elect to sit in
the shade and refuse to enthuse over
the situation.
Stubborn fights for congressional
nomination in the Fourth and Sixth
districts are expected to bring out a
large vote in those districts. Both
fights are in the Republican party.
The Benton-Anderson fight in the
Sixth district has been before the vot-
ers nearly eighteen months. The

say the interurban will bring them
business and serve as feeder from
the territory through which it runs.
It is not only expected to add to the
passenger business of the steam lines
but to the freight business as well.
In Four Counties.
The Winner interurban will pcne-
trate four Kansas counties, Shawnee
dotte.
Towns To Be Reached.
Besides the Kansas counties it will
penetrate Jackson county, Mo. From
Topeka the line will run northeast
through Kilmer, Meriden, Ozawkie,
Oskaloosa, McLouth. Ackerland, Jar
balo, Standish, Boiling and then to
Fairdale and Chelsea Junction to the
TWO Kansas Citys. Besides, there will
be the loop from Boiling northeast to
Leavenworth and back to Lansing by
way of the Soldiers Home.
The announcement that the Winner
interests will build the line assures
two direct interurbans from Topeka
to Kansas City, Mo. The Helm in
terests are building what is known as
the Kaw Valley line. It will enter
Topeka on the south side of the river
through the Deer Creek valley The
survey has already been made and
construction has progressed this side
Of Lawrence.
Delay of Helm Line.
Construction work on the Helm in
terurban line between Topeka and
Lawrence is being delayed by the hot
weather, it was announced over the
long distance telephone today by K
D. Klemm, president for the Kansas
City, Kaw Valley & Western railway
which is building the line.
There will be no effort, it was an
nounced, to do much work between
Topeka and Lawrence until the hot
weather is over and the line between
Kansas City and Lawrence is running
on smooth and even basis.
Mr.. Klemm said the line would not
be opened into Topeka until at least a
year from this date. That, it is ebe-
lieved in Topeka railway circles,
means that the Winner line will be the
first to enter this city.
The president of the Helm line said
it has not been decided yet which side
of the Kaw river the road will run on
There will be no conflict between
our line and the Winner interests u
Mr.. Klemm said. 1.-The two roads do
not penetrate the same territory and
If both lines enter Topeka they will
do SO in full accord"
1t is believed in local railway circles
that the Helm line will enter Topeka
on the south side of the river and run
from Lawrence to Topeka through the
rich Deer creek valley.

contrary to England's example, that in
attaining her end she seeks so far as
possible to avoid violating the just
rights of neutrals. She even went
far toward meeting the wishes of the
United States in her conduct of sub
marine warfare in spite of the fact
that the enemy was trying to subdue
Germany through an illegal war upon
her peaceable populations.
Out of regard for the interests of
neutra1s. Germany relinquished for the
present one of her most effective
weapons against the enemy, although
compelled to wage life and death
struggle.
AT the opening of the third year
of the war Germany is able to look
back to her splendid military successes
on water and on land, which are not
without political Importance.
Building upon what she already
has achieved, Germany treads the
threshold of the third year of the war
with mistaken confidence. But the
goal has not yet been reached, for the
enemy has not yet come to see the
impossibility of subjugating Germany

Fourth district has made an almost
equal showing of energy on the part
of candidates. Results of the Clyde
Miller-H. F. Martindale fight have
been made bit more uncertain
through the candidates. of II. j.
Hodgson and W. T. Mathews. These
fights will bring out a large vote in
the districts.
In the Second District.
Little concern has been shown in
the Guyer-Little fight in the Second
and Little is scheduled by most
politicians to win easily. Out in the
Seventh district, there is a five cor
nered congressional contest. But OBJ
servers in that district predict j. s.
Simmons of Hutchinson will have a
second nomination, with Frank u.
Russell of Lacrosse as his only serious
contender.
Two Democrats-Ben s. Gaftskill.
Girard, and W. c. Lansdon, Sahna-
are disputing a rather hollow honor
governorship nomination. That is the
only fight of concern in the Demo-
cratic primaries.
Kansas Republicans must settle dis
putes concerning the nominations for
state treasurer, auditor, secretary OF
state and superintendent of public in
struction. The secretary of state con-
test is the one easy guess. j. T. Bot

Flambeau club, a Topeka Democratic
organization.
For weeks wylie w. Cook of Kan
Sas City, and Walter L. Payne of Bur
lingame have carried trouble to each
other in the fight for state treasurer.
Results will doubtless be affected by
the candidates. of Matt Weightman,
topeka, and Charles Evans of Good
land. Friends of Weightman and
Evans claim their nomination, while
most of the politicians have, placed
their bets on the Payne-Cook fight.
Fight for Auditor.
Frank Organ of Howard, assistant
state auditor, and Dan B. Dyer, Smith
Center, have staged a pretty fight for
the nomination for auditor. There is
all manner of chance in the fight.
Fred w. Knapp, Beloit, is also a can
didate for the nomination.
w. D. Ross is seeking third term
as state superintendent of public in
struction. Therein he is having some
trouble. Miss Lizzie Wooster of Salina
is listed as the one chance to spoil
Ross's ambition for a long and happy
life in the state house. Eli Payne of
Emporia is also a candidate. Payne s
candidacy may disturb conditions.
In spite of these lively fights, the
state has sat undisturbed and disin-
terested. Much money and time has
been spent to win nominations. Sc far
as the voters are concerned, there has
been no demonstration It is because
of the apathy which has marked the
entire pre-primary campaign, that po-
litical observers predict an unusually
small vote.

GIRL Gets Her BABY
Miss Margaret Bryan Wins Famous
Baby Matters Case.

Chicago July 29.-The famous baby
Matters case was finally disposed of
here when Federal Judge Lands
awarded the baby, Irene, to Miss
Margaret Bryan" Canadian country
girl, who had contended the child was
hers and had been kidnapped while she
was a patient in the Misercordia hos
pital at Ottawa, Ontario.
Mrs. Annie Dollie Ledgerwood Mat
tiers, fighting Miss Bryan" for the
possession of the child, was bitterly
scored by Judge Lands for not talk
ing the witness stand.
Prison doors and prison bars
should have no influence to scare a
mother when her child is involved"
the jude said.
DR.. Emile Beroard. head physician
at the hospital, was denounced also by
the court.
