Smiley, state secretary of the grain dealers, will be here. All of the towns of Northeast Kansas, and all of the big grain centers of this part of the country, will be represented Senator Capper, who spoke there this week, was pleased with St. Joe’s Info board industry because it offered a market for a heretofore waste prod uct of the farm — wheat straw. He thought of it first as an aid to agri culture. But he saw in it also a fur ther significance: “Anything that will serve as a substitute for lumber,” he said, “is important.” Still, we'll never feel the straw board industry there is a success until it removes the straw stacks across the river from Atchison. Some of the stacks seem to be ten years old! County Democrats will go into the next week, the last before‘ the No vember election, with a full program of meetings and rallies and a speech here Saturday by Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, former governor of Wyoming, to wind up the campaign. Tonight a rally will be held at Potter; Monday night at Sumner; Tuesday night, at Farming ton; and a big colored meeting will be held at the Lincoln school here Wed nesday night. The Rev. Silas E. Newell of Kansas City, Samuel Garland, 81 of Kansas City, and eh en the darkness which enshrouded the county jail last night when pris oners tampering with the electric cir cuit caused a fuse to burn out, Sheriff Will Coleman discovered an attempted jail delivery. For some time officers had noticed indications of such an at tempt and were watching the jail closely as a result. Sheriff Coleman was in his residence when the lights in the jail and the house went off as a result of the burned out fuse. Sum moning Ralph Gorrell, police officer from the city police station just two blocks away, Sheriff Coleman and the police officer made a search of the prisoners’ quarters. They discovered that an iron plate which held a heat ing pipe in place had been torn away. A section of iron rail about six feet long around the upper tier of cells had been wrenched loose as had a long piece of metal conduit for the electric wiring. It was when this was torn from its place that the rail went into darkness, the wires having been in jured. Indications in the cell house were that the prisoners had been ab le to pry out one of the window ramps with the heavy pieces of metal they had secured. Officers today blamed John Williams, colored, held on a burglary charge, and Warren Whitson, charged with motor theft, for the attempt. The other three prison ers were exonerated from any part in the abortive break. A second alarm from the jail this afternoon brought Andy Larson and Ray Fletcher, depu ties, to the cell house in time to stop a fight which started over a poker game. As nearly as could be learned, Williams was beating Whitson up and was taking 80 cents from the latter when the noise of the fight was heard by linemen working in the building. They notified the deputies. The other three prisoners in the jail today are very uneasy, fearing reprisals from Whitson, and Williams. Officers, how ever, have placed Whitson and Wil liams in solitary confinement where they will be kept temporarily. “Bookstore” Will Johnson: “Modern booze must have a terrible wallop. Coming out of Chicago the other night, I witnessed this: There was a man on board who took a bottle of liquor out of his grip, and offered us all a drink. All refused. Then he took a drink. He at once began acting queerly. Then he took a second drink. His behavior be came still more queer. Then he took the third drink—and suddenly dropped to the floor like a crowbar. Instantly he was dead to the world. His eyes were glassy, and he didn’t move a mus scle. He was put in his berth, and he didn't move an eyelash all night. When we arrived at St. Joe, physicians boarded the train to take charge of him. I had to come on to Atchison, and I don’t know whether he came back to life or not. But I think the booze that man drank was made out of boiled barbed wire.” Col. Lloyd S. McCormick, retired army officer, who was found dead in his quarters at Fort Leavenworth a few days ago, married Miss Jane Lowe, who formerly lived on the farm now owned and occupied by James Hegarty at Round Prairie. Her father, Capt. Percival G. Lowe, while living at Round Prairie, where he operated a stock farm, founded the present town of Lowemont as a shipping station, and it was named for him Capt. Lowe was a Mexican war veteran and author of a famous western book, “Five Years a Dragoon.” He helped Major Ogden lay out the old military road which ran through Atchison county. Col. McCormick's death was due to heart failure. He was 74 years of age. Roland Evans, musician, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred N. Evans, who is tra veling with Ms. Ohman, comedian, composer, and radio artist, and with the John Whetstine famous Southern Aristocrat band, will broadcast, with the band Friday evening between 6 and 7 o’clock from May’s station Shen andoah, Iowa. Roland would like to have his friends tune in. His manager gave him a thrill, when he told Ro land Evans he would cancel a date so that Roland could bring the members of the company to Atchison, and meet his Atchison’ friends. He and the band will play here for the DeMolay dance October 31, going from here to the Pacific coast. A politician, ‘Probably the trump coard of the Republicans is being played in the campaign right now. It is in the creation of an atmosphere of dis couragement. Everywhere one goes one hears it said: ‘Smith is a good man, but he can't be elected’; ‘Smith is a good man, but he can't overcome the great Republican majority in this country. That is the Republican trump card. There will be hundreds of thousands of persons who have been on the fence who will decide that about sums up the situation and will vote the Republican ticket unless the Dem ocrats have something up their sleeves they have not shown previously.” Bob Volk: “Fred Condit and I hunt ed prairie chickens on a very inter esting ranch at Williamsburg, south of Ottawa. The ranch has more than 3,000 acres, and years ago belonged to a Frenchman who started a sort of a free love colony on the ranch. He had been exiled from France. He and his colony went into the silk worm in dustry on the ranch. Eventually he was restored to citizenship in France, so he deeded the ranch to the Odd Fel lows, and returned to France. Later the ranch became involved in litiga tion, which is another long story.” It is with pleasure that a reporter writes the following: Louie Jacobs and Johnnie Burbank, local young men, did not enter the marathon dance at St. Joe and had no intention of doing so. They were only kidding about it and spoofed a reporter. They both admitted they had better sense than to hoof about a dance floor all day and all night looking like idiots. The St. Joe girls they had for partners have entered with two other young men. Mrs. Everett Walker, formerly of Platte City, recently lost her son, El bert, in Tucson, Ariz. He was 32 years f age, and a victim of tuberculosis. Mrs.Everett Walker now resides in Tucson. Her husband, who has been dead several years, was a prominent physician of Platte county. She is a cousin of Mrs. H. T. Keats, south of Atchison. Harold Swope, formerly of Yates Center, is a new bill clerk at the Santa Fe freight offices here. The Swope residence is at 606 South Fifth street. At St. Joe the days are holding noon day meetings. One sees as many Hoover signs on automobiles in 8J. Joe as Smith signs. Bob Jacobs: “Two months from to day is Christmas. Do your Christmas shopping early at the Jacobs-Hender son Hardware Co,” ‘Tom Burge: “I understand Babe ~~ Swan for Al, I fear the Nice selection of fresh fish at Cook’s Melrose market. Joe Richey, Santa Fe employe, has an infected foot. Earl Smith, the w. k baseball fan, continues laid up with tonsilitis. The Santa Fe is installing a new water tank at the roundhouse here. So the people may know: Joe Clark once won a medal in an oratory con test. Jack Cassidy of Rushville is a new employe at the Central Branch shops here. Bernard Dowd, St. Benedict's college student, is a new employe of the Skelly Oil Co. Mr. and Mrs. F. E. McFarland, 1164 South Fifth street, are both victims of diphtheria. A great many of the St. Benedict's college students are working in At chison this year. R. C. White, assistant general man ager of the Missouri Pacific, is tour ing the Omaha division. They say an Atchison brakeman is afraid to go through Frankfort, ex cept when locked up in a box car. Speaking about the political cam paign in 1928, it can well be said that neither side has a monopoly on jass acks. Amos Hays: “I worked with Art Boyle for 17 years. In all that time I never knew him to be irritable or disagreeable.” Fifty years ago Atchison was full of footpads, thugs and thieves, and E. W. Howe was clamoring for the organiza tion of a vigilantes committee. J. W. Franklin, of 1029 North Sec ond street, is getting along all right. He had his adenoids and tonsils taken out. He is in a Kansas City hospital. Edward Johnson, colored, flagman at the Tenth street crossing, returned yesterday from the Santa Fe hospital in Topeka where he has been a pa tient with stomach trouble for the last six weeks. A colored politician: ‘I don't believe Smith is going to cut into the colored vote to amount to anything. About a dozen of the most active Smith sup porters among my people here are not even registered, I find.” New corn picked at random from a field near Shannon yesterday tested 14.8 per cent moisture and weighed 56.7 pounds to the bushel at the state grain inspection department. That is considered very good corn. William Scherf, who had lived in Platte County, Mo., for half a century, died at his home in that county a few days ago. He was born at Green Bay, Wis., in 1863. He leaves a widow and three daughters. Interment was in Green cemetery. The Kraut Kutters Association met at the George Wolf home Tuesday evening, and put up 31 gallons of kraut. It was the annual meeting, and when it was discovered that Rev. W. E. Wheeler was a year in arrears as to dues, he was fined two gallons of kraut. An eagle with a seven-foot wing spread will be presented to Jackson park by Jay Sloan of Huron. The eagle was captured in the Huron neighborhood after it had injured it self in some manner, presumably by flying into electric wires, “Doc” De mond, park superintendent, said. Mrs. Amanda Richardson, who died at Bonner Springs a few days ago, was an old resident of Platte County, Mo., and also of Kickapoo, between Atchi son and Leavenworth. She moved from Platte county to Kickapoo, with her husband, J. W. Richardson, just be fore the Civil war and lived there for many years. She was 97 years of age and was a native of Tennessee, Mrs. Charles W. Jackson, formerly of Atchison, is in St. Joseph hospital, Kansas City, and is in a critical con dition. She has a malignant condi tion in the liver, and there is no hope for her recovery. Mrs. Jackson for years was a resident of Atchison. Her husband, who died several years ago, was for years a grocer here. Mrs. Jackson is a fine woman, and dozens of Atchison people will regret to learn of her serious condition. A big barn belonging to A. M. Small burned to the ground last night one mile south of Oskaloosa. It is under stood that several horses were cre mated in the fire. Mr. Small held a hog sale yesterday and it is believed that a cigar or cigaret stub dropped by someone present may have caused the fire. The Oskaloosa fire department was of no avail except to keep the house, which is within a few yards of the barn, from igniting. You hear a lot of talk this year about the woman vote and the farm vote. The speech of Charles Evans Hughes in St. Joe the other night re calls an instance of another election in which a special vote carried the balance of power in the country, ac cording to Ernie Howell, barker. Mr. Howell claims that the barbers of the country were responsible for the defeat of Mr. Hughes when he ran for presi dent of the United States 12 years ago. A young man was graduated from his high school last summer and about two months ago got a job in a local bank. “Well, how’s the banking busi ness a young man, who still had his high school diploma to look forward to, asked him this morning on Com mercial street. “I guess it’s a pretty tough game, isn’t it?” he appended to his original question. Yeah,” said the young man who had been at it two months, “It's pretty tough game until you get the hang of it.” A very small girl in a bright red hat and coat stood beside her mother in a local store, aching for a little atten tion. The proprietor noticed it, “Where did you get that pretty red coat and hat?” he asked, not that he really wanted to know, but simply to make conversation with the little tot. “Mon key Ward's,” sang the child in a high treble that was heard all over the store. The mother blushed and then laughed, making the best of the sit uation, “You can depend on her to spill the beans,” she said. The funeral of Robert Vermillion which was held yesterday was very largely attended and impressive. Lo cal Masons and American Legion mem bers had joint charge of the funeral at the cemetery at which time the Le gion firing squad, in charge of Bob Hendrix, gave a salute. Pallbearers were, members of the Masons and Le gion. They were: Morton Hazel, John Rummans, Tom Brading, James Smith, Claud Meyer and J. R. Gilman. A number of state officials including Will French, state auditor; Ray Har din, assistant auditor, and Charles Blades, in charge See auto division were Branding paternalism as a real menace to the country, Merle Thorpe, editor of The Nation's Business gave a highly interesting and instructive talk before the Topeka Chamber of Commerce last night. Between 250 and 300 business men and women from many Kansas cities were present and demonstrated great enthusiasm dur ing the course of Mr. Thorpe's talk. That an individual can run a business more efficiently and profitably than the government is Mr. Thorpe's firm belief. He pointed out various instances where this had proven too true. Mr. Thorpe pointed out that few persons today realize how complex is business in this day and age. He heartily ap proved of the many industries in the United States which have grouped to gether in the single cause of putting their article before the public and of the educational advertising campaigns used in the promoting of the use of that article. Team work,” explained, Mr. Thorpe, “is the primary factor in the success of any business.” Another drawback in this country, said Mr. Thorpe, is that we have too many laws. Quoting in round figures, he told the audience that there were 1,900,000 laws in this country. It is not the laws themselves, he said, that hurt, but it is that there are practically no repeals of laws already on the statute books. Thorpe is one of the best authorities in the United States on business. His magazine The Nation's Business is the national and oficial publication of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Thorpe is a Kansan. After receiv ing his early education in this state he attended Stanford university and Washington state university where he later established the first school of journalism in the United States. He was called to the University of Kansas where he had charge of the journalism school in this state for five years. He later assumed the editorship of the Nation's Business a magazine which he built from a small publication to one of national importance. Mr. Thorpe is in a position to “know the ropes” in Washington and quoted incidents that both amused and awed the large crowd present. H. B. Mize, Will Mangelsdorf and a Globe reporter represented the Atchison Chamber of Commerce at the banquet. A revised code of school laws, it is expected, will come before the Kansas legislature at its next session for adop tion or rejection. A partial report on the code has already been made but, it is said, the report on the full code will not be forthcoming before elec tion. This revised school code is some thing that will closely affect every person in Kansas. Upon it may de pend an increase or a lowering of taxes. It will have to do with community high schools, with other high schools, with the standards of teachers. It is a question of vital interest to every citizen. This district needs the rep resentation of a man of E. R. Sloan's experience and ability in the next senate next term to deal with it. When it became necessary to draw up the road amendments to the Kansas con stitution, Mr. Sloan was called upon to do this work because of his generally recognized knowledge of constitutional law and theory. When the insurance code as adopted by the last legislature was written, Mr. Sloan was one of the five Kansans called upon to per form this important task. He has served three terms in the lower house and has been the minority leader since 1925. Now he is running for state sen ator from the Atchison-Jackson coun ty district on the Democratic ticket. (Political advertisement paid for by the friends of Mr. Sloan.) Five giant, high-speed freight loco motives, such as this section of the country has not seen before, will go into service on the Omaha division of the Missouri Pacific next week, local railroad men say. The new equipment is bigger than the 1700-class locomo tives now in use on the division. The engines are capable of maintaining a speed of 65 miles an hour and can run races with fast passenger engines. They have four sets of drive wheels, a pony truck and two sets of trailer wheels. They carry 230 pounds steam pressure and have 100 square feet of fire box surface. And if you don’t think that’s a big fire box to keep filled, just ask some prespiring fireman. It is said that the engines were originally ordered for the Kansas City-St. Louis line but that the equipment is too heavy for the bridges on that line. “It means, said a railroad man, “that we've got a bet ter railroad up this way than they have between Kansas City and St. Louis.” Joseph Hitchens is just a boy, only nine years old, but he is in the city jail charged with the burglary of the Heaton freight station night before last. Hitchens admitted his guilt to the police, but stated that an older boy influenced him in robbing the station. On this evidence local authorities ar rested another Atchison boy, consid erably older than Hitchens and are holding him for investigation. The suspect denies his part in urging the youngster to rob the Heaton station which is located between Main and Commercial on Ninth street. About $40 worth of goods was stolen, it is said, but young Hitchens claims he got nothing more out of than a bar of candy. City officials issue a last registration warning. The registration books will close Friday (tomorrow) night at 10 o'clock sharp. A. W.Seng announced this morning that on the dot of 10 p. m. the books would be closed re gardless of how many latecomers were standing in line. The books will be open this evening until 10 and will open again tomorrow morning at 8 a. m., to remain so throughout the day, including the noon hour. And don't forget that there are no steps to climb as the books are on the first floor of the city hall. Twin girls were born last night to Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Kane, North Seventh street. Mrs. Kane, who is in a critical condition this morning, is im proved this afternoon. Each of the twins weighs seven pounds, and is in good health. Mrs. Kane is a daughter of Mrs. Mary Byrne, 1021 North Second street. Mrs. Mart Miller and son,Charles, and his daughter, Janice, have return ed from Denver. They made the trip in Charlie Miller's car. The round trip was 2,500 miles. Although Mrs. Mart Muller is 74 years of age, she stood the trip fine. Mrs. Joe Cavanaugh was removed from the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. Will Miller near Curlew today to Research hospital in Kansas City, Kas., in a Hgrcuff ambulance. Dr. W. K. FPast:. “I wish a flock of reporters would fly past my duck blind. I would demonstrate my aim and hunting ability to their sorrow,”
