Fine Corn In Illinois

S. r. Lewis, Henry Thompson, Ar

tored to Aledo yesterday for the pur-
pose of investing in some hogs from a
celebrated herd near that city.
When they arrived they found
prices so high that they feared their

got out of mud until they reached Ti5

o'clock this morning.
At the same time General Bandholtz
was starting from Charleston to go
over the line of march and see that
the army had actually disbanded
and was going home.
Madison, W. Va, Aug. GA train
comprising six coaches sent here over
the c. & o. railroad to carry back
to Charleston the advance party of
Marmet marchers who abandoned the
| journey to Mingo county late yester-
/ day at the request of c. F. Keeney, dis
trict mine workers president, arrived
here before daylight, this morning.
The men scrambled aboard immedi-
ately. Most of them had spent the
night walking and sitting about the
village. Altho the men showed signs
of restlessness during the last few
hours of their stay here, there was no
disorder.
The main body of marchers was
scattered along Indian and Lens
creeks facing northeast and struggling
toward home in compliance with Mr..
Keeney's wishes. The spirits of the
men did not appear to have been af-
fected by the sudden change in plans.
If there was discomfort, it was not
evident.
During the southwark march the
several groHps remained close together.

who have families apparently were
speeding up the journey, presuming
that the space between the bands dis

District President Keeney spent the
night here with the contingent await
ing transportation to Charleston.
Aside from expressing satisfaction. he
had nothing to say for publication.
A train carrying the Madison party

rive at the latter place some time this
morning

CUTS WOULD MEAN DEFICIT
Rates Would Wipe Out Operating
Income.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Western
railroads presented further data to
the interstate commerce commission
today to show that reductions in
freight rates on grain and hay would
wipe out their operating incomes and
increase the deficits under which
some roads are said to be operating.
A. F. Cleveland, of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad, testified that
the rs per cent reduction asked by
twenty western state would cause an
annual loss to the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha railroad of
$1,414,611, and would reduce the rev.
enues of the Chicago Great Western
$1,233,951.
Under cross-exa mination. L. E.
Wettling, chief statistician for the
western roads, said testimony he had
given to the effect that grain eleva-
tors of the west had earned 8.5S cents
a bushel for handling grain was mac
curate to the extent that this amount
had not been a net profit, but included
operating expenses and taxes.

from the first of October to the next
harvest. OF this amount Russia can
furnish only about rs per cent, which
will leave a shortage of about 945, 900
tons.
Need More Engines.
"If we do gamble on the hope of
outside aid and use up the food supply
for seed. the famine may slaughter
during the coming winter not only
those now suffering from hunger, but
also those whose grain must be taken
for seeding. With some $50 shiploads
of 5000 tons each, this whole problem
can be solved"
In reply to a query as to transport,
NJ. Kameneff said.
I'VE have plenty of box cars but
no locomotives.
THE former Russian government"
he continued, ordered some 800 loco
motives in the United States and we
believe most of them are still there.
If these could be obtained it would
solve half the problem. OF course that
is business not charity. We are inn
mensely grateful for Americas gen.
erous offer to help our starving chill

CALL FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS
Larger Cities of Kansas Need In
Structors ut Once.

larger Cities of Kansas Need In
structors at Once.
According to Frank L. Pinet, secre-
tary of the Kansas State Teachers
association, the Kansas teacher place
ment bureau is having difficulty in
finding teachers to fill positions in the
grade and high schools in the larger
cities of Kansas. The city schools
require that all teachers must be
graduates of an accredited normal
school. The salaries paid to such
teachers are above the average school
teachers salary. Still there seems to
be a shortage of teachers for these
positions.
The rural schools of the state are
nearly all supplied with teachers for
the coming year. But there are many
openings in the city schools for COM
petent teachers. Requests are re-
ceived every day from the larger
towns in the state for normal school
graduates to teach in the schools. For
example, today's mail at the place
ment bureau contained ten requests
for teachers with the required Qualifi-
cations from the following towns:
Canton, lola, Barnes, Wichita, Kincaid,
and Powhattan. Such letters are re-
ceived daily by the bureau, and every
effort is being made to obtain teachers
for the vacant positions
The majority of the requests that
come to the bureau are for teachers
of Latin, Spanish, manual training
and athletics.

Renker also issued a statement to-
day saying that Race j. Macklin was
at no time ever connected with the
Renker Hotel project as director OF

also said that Macklin is in no way
connected with the Chicago interests
backing the hotel and that the Walter

and that while he came to Topeka and
assisted to some extent with the Of

EXPERIENCED PILOT FOR TRIAL
w. H. COnnor, Veteran of World
War, on the Initial Flight.
Kopseker Has Spent Eight
Years on Air Crafts Here.

The new Kopseker tractor biplane
which has been under construction
since last March, in the Kopseker fac
tory at 917 East Sixth avenue, is near
ing completion. The finishing touches
will be put on the plane and it will
be tuned up for flight early next week.
According to william A. Kopseker,
the builder of the plane, the trail
flight Of the new plane will be made
next Wednesday, at the Municipal
flying field west of the city. Kopseker
designed and built the plane which
bears his name. He has had eleven
years experience as a designer and
builder of lighter than air craft
This is the eighth plane that Kop-
seeker has built during his eleven years
in the flying game.
Ship Weighs 1,45O Pounds.
The new plane is % feet long from
the propeller to the tip of the rudder
and il has a wing spread Of 80 feet.
The ship weighs 1,450 pounds when
empty and 1t has carrying capacity
of $40 pounds. An eight-cylinder, air
cooled, French Renault motor is used
in the plane. The engine has a nine
foot pitch and will develop 100 horse
power The landing speed of the plane
Is 40 miles an hour and its high speed

style with the Observers cockpit in
front of the pilot. The United States
army wing number 81. which are used
on the Kopseker plane, are deeper be-
tween the upper and the lower plane

gives the plane the advantage OF
lighter drag on the wing and increases
it's lifting power.
Barring unexpected delays the plane
will be ready to take off on its trial
flight Wednesday.
