PARKER SHOWS At FAIR
Big Carnival Comes to Kansas Expo-
siion for Entire Week.

Every visitor to San Francisco be-
fore the fire regarded his visit incom-
plete If he did not take a trip thru
that strange part of Frisco's under
world known as Chinatown. During
the earthquake and the fire that ac-
companied it Chinatown was almost
entirely wiped out. Thousands per-
ished in the burrows underground and
never a trace of them found. ReaIiz-
ing that future generations would be
interested in the history of the mod
ern Sodem, Mr.. Parker, world famed
as an originator of novel attractions.
sent his artists and agents to San
Francisco and spent thousands of dol
lars in having sketches made and
securing data on underground China
town. which he is now offering to the
public as the feature attraction of
Parker's Greatest Shows which will
exhibit on the Topeka fair grounds all
fair week.
Underground Chinatown is not a
moving picture. but a correct repro
duction of San Francisco's Chinese un-
derworld to the most minute detail.
The visitor is conducted by guides
brought by Mr.. Parker from San
Francisco who formerly guided tour
lists on sight seeing expeditions; these
guides show the patron all the differ
ent scenes in Chinatown, including the
living quarters of the Chinese, the
gambling dens, lottery, Joss house,
slave market, opium dens and several
transformation scenes showing the ef-
feet of drugs, opium and alcohol on
their victims.

BLAME CIVILIANS
Mexican Troops VIII Be White
washed in Shooting Affair.
Noga1es Border Trouble Be-
lieved To Be All Over.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Indications
today were that Mexican civilians will
be mainly blamed for the Nogales
skirmish. While representations may
be made to President Carranza it now
appears unlikely that the incident will
become a grave one. The state de-
partment proposes to withhold any
possible diplomatic action until the
military authorities on both sides of
the line have had an opportunity to
investigate fully.
With the border patrol strengthened
at Nogales there is no doubt whatever
of the American ability to cope with
whatever contingencies might arise.
Continuation of the firing last night
appeared to be of an unorganized ma
ture.
The Casualties of Tuesday.
Nogales, Aug. 29.-The list of army
casualties on the American side in
tional line, as compiled at military
headquarters here. contains the names
of two soldiers dead and twenty-five
soldiers wounded. The death of Gas

on the American side. brought the to-
tai killed to three.

thorities does not contain the name

BENNINGTON Is OIL MAD.
of Gas in Wei There Send
Up Hopes for More Drilling.

Bennington, Kan, Aug. 29.-Excited
speculation is at fever heat here over
the report that indications of natural
gas were found at a depth of 1,220
feet on the Best farm, four miles south
of Bennington, where a drilling outfit
has been at work for several weeks.
That region is the divide between the
Solomon and Saline rivers. The land
is sterile and while most OF it is
farmed it is more suited for pastures.
When Representatives of the Carter
Oil company were on the spot nearly
two years ago they experienced little
difficulty in securing enough leases to
make up a block of land at 81 per
acre.
Now all is changed. The presence
of gas has changed the situation.
Biologists are unanimous in the be-
lief that both oil and gas are to be
found where the Carter people are
drilling on the Best farm.

Face the Music!

Two prominent physicians, one
from Kennebec and the other from
Aroostook county, answered an emer-
gency call the last Of the week from
a fiourishing Maine town, where over
400 cases Of the influenza were raging
and the local doctors had been on the
go for 10 days, with but little rest or
sleep, in consequence being nearly
exhausted.
The visiting doctors found a condi-
ton existing that nearly paralyzed
them. Everyone was willing to work,
but little in the line Of controlling or
handling the situation had been at
tempted. The local Board of Health
did not include doctor and the
members were widely scattered in a
town Of large area. Sickness and
death were on every side-for in
stance. a father and mother lying
dead in their home and two little chill
dren seriously i'll and helpless in the
same room; many cases of every
member Of the family ill.
Expressions like these met the doc
tors: Tell us what to do and we will
do it," What authority have we for
doing so and 500" I'VE have intended
doing so and so, but haven't had
time" ETC., etc.
Those doctors got into the harness
with a rush and a will. Local doctors
and Board of Health members were
assembled and told what to do and
started on doing it. Inside of few
hours. almost minutes, quarters had
been Communicated and were being
fitted for an emergency hospital; be-
fore many hours the first case was in
a hospital bed and the work thus
went on all day and that night and is
still going on.
Sick persons were found whose
condition endangered the health of
others. They were told they would
be taken to the hospital and When
they objected. were kindly but firmly
told they had no voice in the matter
and were then removed.
Board of Health members. doctors
and nurses were told that the whole
State Of Maine was behind them in
doing any and all things, in a hurry,
for which the emergency called, for
the control of disease and the protec-
ton Of the public health. Go to it"
was the order, the expense can be
taken care Of later
The point is: One and all were will
ing and anxious to do their bit, but
lacked the nerve to tackle the propo-
sition alone and later perhaps b. OBJ
liged to face criticism and faultfind-
ing. For instance: Should a person
taken against his or her will to a hos
pital fail to survive the disease. what
n howl would go up against those who
had taken that course. though in the
best interests Of the patient.
What they needed was a little
