Last Thursday a representative of the Dougherty school in Topeka met with members of the Commercial Club to see if some; satisfactory arrangement could' be made for the establishing of. a branch commercial school inf this city. He first asked that the club guarantee him twenty members per month for a term of one year at a tuition rate of each per month.

The club did not look favorabhy on this proposition and the members finally pledged themselves to do their best toward securing thirty-five or forty pupils to with Mr. Dougherty to do his own hustling after that. The representative seemed to think the proposition a fair one and went back to Topeka to report. A commercial school of this sort would doubtless prove a good thing for the town as during the winter months the -attendance would be large. There is a great demand for competent stenographers and bookkeepers everywhere, so large in fact the demand can hardly be supplied.

Mr. Dougherty turns out a great many masters of short hand and typewriter every year and lie says he seldom ever can supply the demand. He is in touch with many concerns of the country and guarantees to find a good job for every graduate. The same guarantee would he. ild good in ca.se a branch school is established in Ilerinjrton.

No Deficit. Ilerington's first attempt at carrying through to a successful terminal a racing meet ends this evening with flying colors colors which show unmistakable success. i ne weauier lias oen ideal ana great crowds have gathered in each day from far and near to witness the great meet. In the barns at the grounds are a hun dred or more horses and lovers of horse beauty have been in the height of their glory since the jf.i i iirsr oi tne wee-K. ilerington is on the Kansas and Oklahoma cir cuit and this fact alone insured that many of the.

best horse would be entered, even though mis is ilerington lirst year in last company and a new track had to be gone up against. The receipts and expenditure have not been figured up to any degree of certainty at time of going to press but those at the head of the association insure us that the stockholders will not he hiicKJioiuers. an or which is gratifying. It is the new organi zations of this kind that has the hard sledding, and if we can come clean on the first attempt, future success speaks for itself. Xo records were broken but good time was made in each and every race, which pleased the crowd.

Owiing to the hour of going to press we can give only the result of the first two days racing, which follows. Three-year-old Trot, $300. Genteel Zoe, br. 2 1 1 Ivan Hurst, b. 1 2 2 Katherine 3 3 3 Time: 2:20 Pace, 5K).

the Distirruished Visitor Talks to Large and Enthusiastic Gathering. Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker of the National House of K-epresen-tatives, made three speeches in Kansas Tuesday-, one at Alma, one at Ilerington and one at Marion. The races interfered somewhat with the Ilerington date bit as it was. a crowd estimated by many to be 1.500 gath ered to hear what the distinguish ed visitor had to say.

The erowd from surrounding towns fell short through a misrepresentation of faets by the Topeka Capital, which came out Tuesday morning and stated that Mr. nun had canceled all his Kansas dates and would return to Illi nois post haste. -Many people who had intended coming took the report as final and remained at home. "Whether intentional or not, the Capital did Ilerington as well as Mr. Cannon a great injus-Jiee.

Mr. Murphy, the speaker's private -secretary, told the Times man that no such report was given the Capital or any other paper, so the reader can draw his own conclusions. Mr. Cannon arrived from Alma over the Rock Island at 2:55 p. m.

and was at once driven to the home of F. E. Munsell. whose guest he remained until the time he was scheduled to speak. The speaking was held in the city park.

after four o'clock Hon. J. W. Creech, candidate for the nomination of lieutenant governor, called the meeting to order. In a few well chosen remarks he introduced lion.

A. Calder-head, representative from this district, -who addressed the assembly in his pleasing wa- until the arrival of Mr. Cannon, which was some twenty Calderhead introduced the speaker. A great cheer went up as he stepped to the The crowd then grew rather! chill'. It took some little time for tli em to size up the speaker.

Many thought he had horns and most of the listeners had also read where Bill Allen "White said he was a regular devil incarnate, and Bert "Walker capped the cli-I'aax by saying that every few minutes during his speeieh this terrible creature would reach out and grab a little child and crunch it down right before the audience it was not until the llsteiurs had found him to be just a plain eiti-j zen, out in the interests of principles w.hk-h he thought to be right, that they "warm-ed up to the imporance of the occasion. Once warmed, the 'applause was pronounced. "We shall not attempt to go into detail, because the daily press lias told it all. During his hour and fifty minute talk in this city, as elsewhere he has spoken in the state, he unbraided the insurgent republicans; he used the short and ugly made famous by Roosevelt, when he thought the occasion demanded and his slang at times was strong as horseradish But lie held his audience in face of the fact that his physical condition was far from perfect. The spade a spade.

nen tne announcement was made that Speaker Cannon was coming to Kansas, the insurgents expressed fear that it would hurt the cause of the regulars. The fear has been dissipated. "While we doubt if many votes were made by the visit, it is our candid opinion that none were lost. Any way you put it. Speaker Cannon made friends for himself, He praised Congressmen Calder head and Miller, both of whom were present and occupied seats on the rostrum.

After the speaking, Mr. Cannon was lrrven in an automobile to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. T.

Ray, on South street, where a reception was accorded him. An elegant four course dinner was served. The guests were made up of regulars and insurgents and politics was not the main topic of conversation. Those present were Speaker Cannon, Congressmen Calderhead and Miller, Major Potts and W. E.

Smith. All of 2,500 people attended the Marion" meeting. Congressman Miller spoke, first, and at some length. He was well received in fact we were rather surprised at the round and heaty applause which was accorded him at frequent intervals. Speaker Cannon spoke close to two hours, and it differed materially from the Ilerington speech, although many of the same subjects wore touched upon.

The Marion date closed his campaign in Kansas and he left on Xo. 24 for Kansas Cit.y. thence to his home in Danville, Illinois. He expects to remain at holme a few days and then go to. Mackinac, Michigan, for rest and recreation, in case he finxls the latter necessary.

The building of the track was no trifling matter. Several large fills were made and little by little it was worked until today it is in excellent condition. Before another meet, however more work, is planned to be put in on the track, at which time it ought to produce some record breakinsr time. The horsemen here now say we have a chance to make a wonderful fast track out of it. The officers of the association have put in their best licks and are deserving of much credit.
