The night before the 1013 meeting opened, the registration was less than 3,000. It is this morning that the great influd of pedagogues is expected. From all sections of the state, trains traveling towards Topeka will carry extra equipment. The first of the special teachers' trains came in at 8 o'clock last night on the Rock Island from Hutchinson. Early this morning another Rock Island special is scheduled, carrying the pedagagues from northwest Kansas.

Three extra trains are due on the Union Pacific this morning from Kansas City, Leavenworth and Junction City. Trains on the Santa Fe started last night from Pittsburg and Independence. They will arrive in Topeka this morning with the southwest Kansas delegations. From Emporia will come another special this morning. It is the honest opinion of the school men in charge of the reception arrangements that the attendance this year will be several hundred larger than the 5,242 mark established in 1913.

Already numerous educators are be ing "mentioned" for the presidency of the association. There is always the chance that at last a woman may be elected to the honor position.

This students are exepmt from the examinations if they reach an average of eighty-five, consequently Wednesday was exciting because nearly all the students and especially the freshman felt as if they deserved to be exemp-ed in everything. After sixth and seventh periods some freshmen were seen wiping their eyes with their handkerchiefs or coatsleeves depending which was handier.

Eruption of Mount Vesuvius Reached Acute Stage.

Has Naples, via Rome. Nov. 8. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius, begun in May, 1913, haS now reached an acute rre. Iht- crater, 1,000 feet deep is grad ually transforming itself through the opening of new tissues.

These are emitting incandescent matters known as magma which on contract with the air, becomes lava. Of this matter during the night of October 31 alone, over 10P cubic yards were thrown out, reaching a height of 320 feet. In ad dition a large volume of smoke and ashes and cinders were expelled. Deep rumblings known as Strombolian ex- plosians, aie constantly heard. Despite the fact that in doing so he was compelled to inhale the poision ous gas, Professor Mallarda, director of the observatory on Mount Vesuvius, has decended into the crater to make observations.

That the policy of the Boston English Opera Company which comes to the Opera House, Friday Novem ber 13 is a magnificent production of Verdi's beautiful opera "IllTrovator" making the prices within reach of has proven a success is evidenced from the fact that wherever they have appeared record breaking houses have been the rule, and in most places the demand for seats has by far exceeded the supply. In order to continue its policy of fairness, the company has adopted the following rules.

No mail orders will be accepted except from out of town patrons, in which case self addressed stamped envelope meis accompany remittance. Postively no seats will be sold or laid aside the seat sale opens. No telephone orders will be received nor will any reservations be made for seats unless they are paid for. The company was forced to make and strictly adhere to the above rules, both in order to protect itself and its patrons. In many cases before these ules were adopted, seats would be laid aside or reserved, which could have been sold many times over.

Peo ple coming to the box office and wanting to buy seats were turned away and told that no seats were left and at the last moment people who had made reservations would call up and say they were unable to come and even worse than that, in many cases, ould not even notify the box office that they could not call for their seats. Naturally, this entails a loss both ays, inasmuch as these seats could have been sold easily. It means just so many dollars lost in money, as it deprived just so many people from seeing the performance who wanted to come it meant that much loss in enjoyment to patrons. ORPHANS HOME COLLECTION. Salina Congragation Contributes $675.00 at Meeting Sunday.

Salina, Nov. 9. At a special col- ection, taken up at both masses at the Catholic church Sunday, for the new Catholic orphanage at Abilene was realized. Father Maher was gratified with the large showing made. While the new Chatolic orphanage is located at Abilene, it is ths orphanage of the entire Concordia diocese and a collection will be taken up at every church in the diocese.

A weak ago Sunday a collection was taken up in Chapman which brought in $280. The money from these collections will be applied towards improve ments at the new orphanage. The cost of these improvements will be something over $6,000. Sometime ago Bishop Cunningham purchased the large building, located just north of Abilene, formerly used by the sisters as an academy. The purchase comprised the building and 162 acres of ground.

The location is ideal. The dicocese has never had a special building for an orphan's home and hence the purchase of this academy building. Considerable remodeling and improving was made neces sary, of course, because of the new use to which the building is to be put. The purchase price of the building and grounds amounted to $15,000. An extra $6,000 is to be raised for the needed improvements, and the collections are for this later item.

When remodeled and fitted, up it will be one of the finest orphans, homes in this section of the state. Funeral of Mrs. James Tulley. Tha funeral of Mrs. James Tulley, whq died Thursday morning at her home on West Third street, was held this morning at 10 o'clock at a solemn high mass at St.

BADLY SCALDED BIG WRECK IN UNION PACIFIC YARDS THIS MORNING.

Switch Engine Ran Into Freight Train Derailing Both Engines and Several Cars. This morning at 5:10 in the Union Pacific Railroad Yards, near the round house, switch engine No. 1161 had a headon collission with freight train No. 157.

Four cattie in one i the cars were killed. There were several passengers on the caboose of and they were all badly shaken up. One of them, F.

W. Schmidt, re-reived a cut on the check, had a tooth knocked out, and was injured about the limbs. The cause of the wreck not known at the present time. The witch engine had the coaches for the "Plug" and was taking them out so they mi.ht be hooked on at train vmc. It is hard to realize, how it happened that the crews of the engines were not killed, after viewing the wreck, as they did not jump but stayed with their engines.

Aside from being rather bruised and shaken up thev suffered no injuries. The main line is blocked as yet but the trains can go through the yards by going around on a different track and then running onto the main line below the wreck. LIVE! ON PARROT SOUP. The Sur--vors o. The Tahoma Had i A Hard Time.

I Washington, No. the offi-1 cers and ot tne revenue cutter Tahoma, whit. -ank late Septem-! ber after hittin? an uncharted reef near the Aleutian islands, fought for life for five days in open boats in a heavy sea, escaped a school of six hungry whales and finally survived with no food except parrot soup, is recounted in private letters received today from friends of the party in this city. All of the eighty-five survivors, including the officers and crew of the Tahoma and a party of natives, who were aboard when the cutter began to sink, underwent almost indescribable hardships before they finally were picked up by the steamship Cordova. As soon as the officers found that the cutter could not be saved all those on board set out in six open boats.

ThPv remained rlosf hv the Tahoma until it sank, twenty four hours after hiting the reef. Then they started out to try to find land. Fve of the boats reached the island of Agattu, one of the Aleutian chain. The other romainded at sea until rescued. So crowded were the members of the party in the open boats that they could not sit down or sleep.

The feet of every one was frozen or swollen frightfully after the five days at sea. Because of the crowded conditions and the heavy sea little food could be taken into the small boats. Before they sighted land the rations had to be cut down to one sausage, one cracker and one cup of water for each person. The men shot two wild geese and four parrots, which they made into soup in a big kettle and ate with a few water soaked crackers. MAKE WAR EQUIPMENT.

Acceptance of deposits of checks drawn by member banks on any reserve Bank of member bank in a reserve or central reserve city within their federal reserve districts. Other powers may be called into' play as the establishment of safe and efficient organization permits. In its circular the board gave the long expected definition cf commercial paper, which is to be the life blood of the new system, the basis for the new federal reserve currency and the meaning by which the nation's circulating medium is expected to meet the expansions and contractions of trade and industry.

The rate of re-discount was not announced. This step probably will not be taken until Monday. The rate will not be uniform in all the banks. The definition of commercial paper is broad and relies to a large degree upon the language ot the currency The board declined at the pres ent time to discuss the question of double- and single name commercial paper, it did make it exceedingly clear, however, that it had a prefer ence for the two-name sort and left no room for the authorities of the banks to doubt that it expected care ful inquiry into one name paper pres-ented to them for rediscount. The circular discussed the condi tions that have arisen here and throu ghout the world through the war and gave soma insight into, the economic changes which might be expected as a result.

"It should be borne in mind." it said, "although our exports are show ing a gratifying increase there is still a large cash balance due to European countries for which gold may be de manded and that a large quanity of American securities held abroad may be returned to the United States while on the other hand more than $300,000 of emergency currency must be grad ually retired. "Nc one can estimate the duration of the wp.c- or predict what will be the financial or commercial conditions when peace shall be restored. Our own industrial development has been greatly facilitated by foreign capital and we have been accustomed to bor row large sums annually in Europe and to sell American securities there, which attracted foreigners because of their higher rate of return compared with European investments. "It is probably that at the end of the war interest rates in Europe will be higher than they have been in the past and greater investment returns will be yielded. The tremendous de struction of property and waste of capital will not only check the flow of European savings to the United States, but may dispose foreign in vestors to return the securities they now hold.

Lower money rates in this Country would be likely to accentuate this tendency while on the other hand higher interest rates and larger returns on our side would ch it. unction "of the federal reserve banks, therefore are a two-fold character. They should extend credit fa cilities where the abnor mal conditions now prevailing have created emergencies demanded prompt accommodations and on the other hand they must protect the gold holding: of this country in order that such holdings may remain adequate to meet demands that may be made upon them. While credit facilities should be liberally extended in some parts of the country it would appear advisable to proceed with caution in districts not in need of immediate relief and to await the effect of the release of reserves and of the changes which the credit mechanism of the country is about to experience before establish- in all tion in former years The program bv the division of home economics for the week is particularly attractive, some of the num bers being of a more popular nature than in former years.

S. PRIMARY LAW NOW. President Believes Time Is Too Short Before 1916. Washington, Nov. 9.

President Wilson does not expect a presidential primary law to be passed at the next session of Congress and some Democratic leaders do not believa one can be enacted to be effective in 1916. In his message to Congress last December the President urged that such-a law be passed immediately and expressed hope that there would be a general agreement to it. He is known to still favor primary law, but investigation has impressed on him the-difficulties of the technical details. cniei difficulties encountered the President has been that of fix- ing a date tor tne presidential primaries. Primaries now are held on different dates in the states and the question has been whether the legislatures can change the state primary dates before 1916.

Separate state and national primaries, he has been told, would prove very expensive. The President has not yet begun work on his next mesage to Congress, but it is considered doubtful whether he will mention the presidential primary question. He is expected to dwell on the necessity for economy in appropriations and to urge the pas- save of the Philippine Bill, the Alexander Ship Purchase Bill and several remaining conservation measures. Presidential primaries, rural credits railway securities and other questions are expected to be left over because cf the brief duration of the session. The President now has no intention of calling an extra session after March 4th.
