Mayor R. Cofran has always felt a keen interest in machinery. He started out on a farm and it was one of his greatest delights to "sneak out" his father's keyhole saw and construct toys of his own invention and design. With steady purpose he has continued the ocupation which charmed him in childhood. He came to Topeka in 1870 with the same business in which he is sill associated.

Mayor Cofran has never been an aspirant for office, but in the wisdom of his fellow citizens he has been placed in public office, where he has invariably shown himself worthy of the trust reposed in him. He is a very modest man and although courteous in response to our questions, we do not feel at liberty to comment as fully as we should like to about a worthy Kansas citizen. Notifies Balie Waggener That He'll Not Be Able to Celebrate. Atchison, June 18. Balie Waggener has received a letter from President Wilson in which the latter says it will be impossible for him to attend Mr.

Waggeners birthday celebration here July 18. However, Mr. Wilson has promised to come to Atchison next year for the big jubilee. But President Wilson's inability to attend this year has cast no gloom on the plans for entertaining the j0 or more children who will be in Atchison on Waggener picnic day. An unique feature of this year's picnic will be a farmers' exhibit, and prizes will be offered for the best display of farm products.

Bloodhounds Worked Before Seven Hundred People and Trail Suspect Eight Blocks. Concordia, June 18 Tom the Peeper, of Barnard, who has terrorized that village for the last year is believed by the officers to be in custody. He has been operating In Barnard for more than a year and women have been frightened several times. Some times the "Peeper" would be detected gazing in the rooms late in the night, some times he would be watching through the window while they disrobed and on one or two occasions women have been awakened to find a strange man in their room standing over their toed caressing them. Affairs had reached such a state that the feminine portion of the town scarcely dared go to sleep.

Saturday morning at 3 o'clock one of the ladies who lives in the edge of town was awakened and "Tom, The Peper" was gazing in on her. She notified the officers and the Moore bloodhounds were phoned for at once. The officer protected the tracks and when Francis Swafford arrived with the dogs over seven hundred people had gathered to watch the performance. The dogs took the trail and followed it eight blocks to the house of W. M.

Parrish, a man twenty-six years of age, married, but childless. Parrish turned white when the dogs came up and murmered something about "fixing" the man with the dogs, but refused to discuss the case. He was immediately arrester by the officers who fear that mob violence may result and are carefully guarding the prisoner. Parrish is a day laborer, but said not to work very steady at any job, or very long. The officers believe that he is the man who has been doing all the peeping.

Hodges of Kansas never attained his childhood ambition. Mark Twain hoped that the favors of fortune might enable him to be an auctioneer, which to that sprouting genius then seemed the pinnacle of wisdom, public service and business thrift. Gov. Hodges, born into the environments of necessity and by the death of his father while still a mere baby, he had the stress of his worldly surroundings so impressed upon him that at a young age he was compelled to find his way into business. But this was only with a view to finally becoming a champion of human rights as a great lawyer.

He cannot remember when he failed to feel the deepest interest in this matter, and although he read law for a while, completing the first book of Black-stone, he never took up the law as a profession. Engaging with his brother in the lumber business with a great success, which relieved the financial strain he had felt as a child and which stared him in the face while prosecuting his legal studies, he determined to forego the profession of law and devote his energies and ability to business, but without losing any of his youthful zeal to right wrongs and redress grievances both public and private. Gov. Hodges' commercial success has enabled him to realize in large measure his youthful ambition. Unlike many who are in politics, he spends his own money.

To use the Governor's expression when asked some questions for the basis of this mention, he said: "You know the definition of an McPherson, June 18 The statistical record gathered by the deputy county sasessors shows that the acreage of wheat in McPherson county is 163, 041.
