Liniments viii Never Cure.

If you are afflicted with Rheuma-

lotions and other local applications
that never did cure Rheumatism, and
never will?
Do not try to rub the pain away,
for you will never succeed. Try the
sensible plan of finding the cause of
the pain, and go after that. Remove
the cause, and there can be no pain.

HINDY QUITS JOB REJECTTT IT, He SAYS
Governor Capper Wires Presi-
..s-s dent ON Peace Terms.
Unconditional Surrender ]
Sentiment of Kansas.

Governor Capepr sent telegram to-
day to President Wilson that Kansas
would approve the rejection of the
Hun peace terms unless the proposal
contained a provision for uncondition-
al surrender. The governor knows the
sentiment of Kansas pretty we'll and
during his trips over the state since
the Bulgarian surrender the governor
has had an opportunity to study the
sentiment of Kansas folks on the
peace proposition. The governor told
the president that fully SO per cent of
the people of this state were against
any peace that did not bring with it
the unconditional surrender of the
central powers. The telegram said:
With unbounded confidence in your
judgment and knowledge of the situa-
ton, permit me to say that your re-
lection of the latest German overtures
for an armistice will meet with the
hearty approval Of not less than nine
ty-nine per cent of the people of Kan
sas. They are practically unanimous
in the belief that, the. end for which
we fight cannot be attained by treat
ing with the Hohenzollerns. An un-
conditional surrender on the part of
the central powers is. in their opinion,
the first step toward a permanent
peace and reconstruction of the gov
ernments OF the world on a basis that
will make democracy possible.

FIRE AT WOLFF'S
Fertilizer Plant Totally De-
stroyed This Morning.
Loss of $4,000 on. Packing
House Building.

| A $4,000 fire occurred this morning
i at o'clock at the fertilizer plant of
| the Wolff Packing company. The
| building was practically destroyed,
along with all machinery. equipment
and fertilizer supplies. consisting of
; dried blood, tankage and meat meal.
These are not especially inflammable,
according to Charles Wolff, 'Jr.. par
| ticularly after water has been mixed
with the dried blood and meat meal,
when it would come nearer being
stew.
| According to Wolff the insurance
covering the building, machinery and
supplies has not been estimated. altho
| he says that the total loss. entailed in
the fire would amount to 5000. The
building was large wooden frame
construction. The fire burned rap
idly.
Following the first call at o'clock
a general alarm was turned in about
twenty minutes later and was re-
sponded to by practically all the fire
equipment in Topeka.
The fertilizer building is located at
the extreme east of the string of
buildings composing the Wolff plant,
and is isolated from the rest of the
! larger and more costly buildings. On
the south and west sides are large
piles of lumber and wooden construc-
tions which lead to the larger main
buildings. If the fire should have
spread thru these connections after
jumping about seventy-five feet to the
| nearest wooden structures, it might
| have developed into a considera BILE
loss.
The cause of the fire is unknown
Second Fire There.
Another fire occurred in this same
structure several years ago, and at
that time no more definite origin was
given for it than III the case of the
fire occurring this morning. There
are several ways in which a fire may
start" says Charles Wolff. Jr. Care
lessness of employees, flying sparks,
spontaneous combustion and incen-
diarism. Naturally, a man having a
| fire to which he can apply no definite
reason for its occurrence is inclined to
place it on the latter reason. But in
| this case 1 am inclined to be extreme
| ly doubtful if it could have been the
| latter"
| The buildings are patrolled by
watchmen who make the rounds once
or twice every hour and these men re-
; port nothing unusual until the actual
discovery of the fire, which had
probably smo1dered for some time be-
fore it broke out into flames of suffi-
| cient strength to give it considera BILE
start on the fire department.
! No arrangements have been made
| for the construction of a new plant
but this will no doubt be done as soon
which was one of the least valuable
from point of construction, will prob
ably be replaced by one of a more
! permanent nature and with the same
fire sprinkler system which is in
stalled in the main buildings.

ON BATTLE FRONTS
The Situation as 1t Looks Today
in the War Zone.

WEST FRONT, GENERATING Ger
mans ire burning cities and villages behind
their front from Flanders south to the
Champagne. This is believed to be pre-
Hminary to a great retirement.
FROM THE NORTH SEA TO LENS
Continued stubborn resistance by the
enemy, together with bad weather, is slow
ing up the Anglo gian advance.
FROM LENS TO LA FERE-Violent
fighting is under way north of st. Quentin
where several villages have been taken and
retaken by the opposing armies number
of times. The French lost Tiliey farm but
the British made a slight advance near
LIE Catelet- British troops also made a
small gain between Lens and Cambria.
BETWEEN La FERE AND RHEIMS
From La Fere to Rheims the French have
carried their line northward to within a
mile of the important railway center of
Neufchatel. twelve miles north Of Rheims.
The Germans are reported to have set fire
to Laon.
FROM RHEIMS TO vERDUN-The
Americans, attacking between the Meuse
river and the Argonne forest. have showed
both wings forward in the face of bitter
held by continued enemy counter attacks.
The Franco-American advance in the
Champagne has progressed until practically
the whole Suippe valley Is in their hands.
The Germans at their nearest point are
now about seven miles from Rheims.
BALKANS-The Serbians have occupied
both yranje and Debta. defeating Austro-
German forces and driving them north
ward. The latter town is near the Serbo-
north of Durazzo. The Austrians. retiring
before the Italians in Albania. are thus
menaced by a flanking movement from the
east.

An Amazing Performance.
American Headquarters in France,
Oct. 6.-Americans fighting under the
command of General Gouraud are
credited with an amazing perform
ance in the fighting of Friday in the
Champagne sector. A detachment,
assisted by French volunteers under
an American captain, attacked very
strong machine gun nest on the slopes
of Blanc Mont which had long held
up the allied advance. With the ut
most skill the nest was enveloped and
captured and the entire garrison of
four officers and 269 men was made
prisoners. Seventy-f five ma achine guns,
many trench mortars and several
tractors we're taken. The Americans

The enemy Is throwing some of his
best divisions into the line opposite
the American front. One of these is
made up of Badenese troops, and has
beep resting in Alsace for the past
month. This division is a favorite of
the German emperor, and attempted
to stop the American advance at Bel

THE RAPE OF THE BELLS

Nothing is sacred to the Prussiar
soldiery. With them religion has los,
all its former sanction: n place is
holy, no emblem sanctified. During
the present war they have gone on
from bad to worse. until there is nc
longer even an affectation of rever
ence for those things that most men
deem holy. The world has not been
much surprised. therefore. at the pro-
posed spoliation of the churches in
Belgium. An inventory of the bells
and organs in every Belgian church
belonging to the Roman Catholics
has been demanded by the German
authorities; and as Cardinal MERCER
prophetically observes, The inven-
tory of today is the signal for the re-
QUESTION of tomorrow The bells
must eo-to make Prussian bullets
The bells and chimes of Belgium
are the most renowned and beauti-
full in the world. Admired by count
less travellers loved by the pious and
wondered at by the profane, cherish
ed by music lovers and praised by
students of ecclesiastical art. they
have long been a source of Justifiable
pride TO the Belgian people. All this
however, counts for nothing with the
rude invader. His supply of rifle
bullets NAV run short when another
Miss Caveil is to be shot or another
British captain to be murdered for
defending his ship: and the Belgian
church bells will serve to replenish
it.
The church of Rome may we'll be
proud that it has one representative
in Belgium who dares to denouncc
this sa~crilegious outrage. The'power
of the tyrant who arrogates to him
self the title of the all highest has no
terrors for Cardinal Mercier the bra
We archbishop of Malines, who has
made protest against the seizure OF
the bells in these ringing words.
I'm the name of the freedom of
the church. in the name of the san
City of the Catholic riligion. in the
name of international law, we con-
denim and reprove the seizure of the
bells and organs Of our churches:
we forbid the clergy and faithful of
diocese TO cooperate toward
removal; we refuse to accept
the price of the sacred objects taken
us by violence.
"Strong in invincib'e hope. we
await the hour of our God"
No wonder the Germans have found
il necessary to postulate a God of
own-a special and peculiar
r%eutonic deity-to justify their
of barbarity and sacrilege. To

OUR OBLIGATION

The speech of Premier Lloyd Geo
rye in the British House of Com
mons on the question of the Man
Power bill, should be read by every
American, and read carefully. There
is much in this speech to give us
s%erious thought.
mits that Great Britain is making
little If any Roadway toward win
ming the war, and that England is
nearing the limit of her
in men. The bill proposes to call men
OF so and boys of Is. The speaker
is careful to state hat not all the
older men will be sent to the front,
but that they are needed to take the
places of younger men who can par
t~icipate in the fighting.
In this Americas duty
is plain. We can no longer sit back
and wait for the allies to stop the
German hordes. We are as vitality
interested MS they. and have as
great a stake in the final outcome
as any one of the European nations.
intelligence could doubt for a mo-
ment that the fate of America is
now in dissoEubly linked with that
of the allies. Certainly none can
doubt tina an allied defeat would
prove a staggering blow to Ameri-
can prosperity, and if not to her
very existance as a free nation.
America must win the war. Her
power must be the added force that
shall turn the scale in favor of the
allied cause. To hat end all her i'm
mence power must be exerted. Presi-
dent Wilson has assured our allies
that our armies will be rushed to
Europe as fast as il is humanity pos
sible to put them there.
But while our fighting men are
Fastening to the fray, there is also
a herculean task for every man, wo-
man, boy and girl who remains at
home we must work-work and
save. We must feed our troops and
provide them with all the necessar-
les of war. AND we must practically
feed the allied world. There is no
escaping the obligation. The cause
is our own, and the man who shrinks
now must forever bear the brand
Of the Stacker and the coward.
