A MANIAC WHEN DRUNK.
Town Character Who Ought to Be Shu
Up for a Term of Years.

Town Character Who Ought to Be Shut
Up for a Term of Years.
When Joe McGivern gets drunk the
public had better hide. Joe was drunk
last night and undertook to whip every
thing in his path from policemen to in
valIds.
He succeeded first rate with the inva-
lids, but had bigger contract than he
bargaIned for when he undertook TO do
the Tommy Dixon act with Police Officer
Long.
McGivern is 90 years old and lives in
Parkdale. When his friends discovered
last night that he was drunk they under
took to take him home. Joe wouldn't
go, and not approaching his friends
motives began to fight them. There was
general fight, during which some of
the neighbors telephoned for the police
This was near the corner of Eighth and
Madison streets.
Officer Long was the first to ar
rive, McGivern was unruly and the
officer threw him down and sat on
him until Officer Foulks came to his as
sistance.
Then Long let McGivern up, and had
no more than done so than the young
man struck him a terrific blow under
the left eye that was soon swollen and
discolored. At this Long struck McGiv-
ern on the left side OF the head with his
club, cutting the scalp. Long says he
hit McGivern only once, but some Of the
spectators say it was three times. Nc
Givern says he thinks he was struck only
once.
At the police headquarters McGivern
continued to fight and it took three Off
GERS to hold him while he was being
searched. When McGivern was put in
the cell the most brutal part of the whole
affair occurred
Nc. Givern walked up to old Judge"
Lee, who was sleeping, and dealt him
a blow on the forehead that cut
him to the skull The wound
bled profusely. The officers
made every effort to stop the flow or
blood, but to no avail. In about thirty
minutes. when Lee was becoming weak
from the loss of blood, City Physician
Mitchell was sent for, who sewed up
Lees wounds.
The blood had run down over his eyes
and face and saturated his clothing He
has no other clothes to put on, and Lees
appearance would make q sensitive per-
son faint.
Lee is an invalid and entirely
inoffensive. He is too sick to
work on the rock pile. Lee would have
been further attacked had not the other
prisoners interfered-
Sergeant Ellison then locked Meow
ern in one of the iron cages, where the
fighter pounded the walls with his bare
knuckles until they bled Then he fell
into a drunken stupor and this morning
he was sober, very sorry for what he had
done.
In police court today McGivern was
charged with being drunk, disturbing
the peace, resisting an officer and fight
ing in jail The young man wisely
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 30
days on the rock pile.

Three Kinds, and What
They Can Do with Paint,
Clay and Glass.

CAO AAObOA IL wy Oil Al N4ot
With a Piece of Glass He Ac-
complishes Great Results - A
Letter From Kansas Man Who
Pays a Tribute to Prof Samuels'
Genius.
The sculptor takes a piece of clay and
makes beautiful model. Others may
take piece of the same clay, and when
they are through with it, it still remains
piece of clay. The artist takes his
paint and brush and canvas and in a
short time has a beautiful picture. 9th
ers may take the same amount of paint
and the same kind of a brush and can
Vas, and when they have finished work
ing, you will find very poor job. So it
is in all lines.
Prof Samuels has demonstrated to the
public that he can take piece of glass,
and with that piece of glass can accom-
plish great results. He does not charge
for that piece of glass. He charges for
what he do with it. When you pur-
chase beautiful picture, or statue, you
pay for the art and not for the piece of
clay.
Here is a letter from Kansas man
known TO all of US:
Dear Sir: Please allow me to say a
word for your eyeglasses. For years the
gradual loss of eyesight has caused me
unspeakable trouble and ANNOYANCE.
During that period it was my misfortune
to purchase glasses of various dealers,
always resulting in the conclusion that
the attempt to improve my vision by
caring glasses was an absolute fail
ure. few weeks since friend advised
me to call on you for advice. The result
was the purchase of glasses you recon-
mended; and it seems a duty to others
suffering from impaired vision to state
that the result has been satisfactory in
every particular and that their value to
me can not be measured in money The
work required of me since purchasing
your glasses has been unusually trying,
and it has surprised and gratified me
beyond expression to learn that nv
vision has greatly improved and that my
eyes seem stronger and my vision clearer
than for many years before.
Very respectfully, A. J. FELT.

BIRD WALL STREET.
That Is Where Our New City At
torney Will Be.
GOING THERE TO TAKE DISPOSITIONS

In the WaterwOr<S Case-A PrOVis-
ion in the Franchise OF the Company
That Was Overlooked.
CITY Attorney w. 4. s Bird was in
structed by the council last night to go
to New York to be present at the taking
of dispositions in the case of William b.
Strong against the Topeka Water COM
pany.
The city is made a party to the suit
and the taking of the dispositions will be
commenced in an attorneys office In
Wall street next Friday. Mr.. Bird left
for New York today.
The plaintiff claims that the city Is la
BILE to the bondholders for $105, 900. There
Is a provision in the franchise of the COM
pany which provides that in case the
plant is bonded $500 of the hydrant
rental shall be paid into the fiscal agency
of the city to keep up the interest and
create sinking fund to liquidate the in
debtedness. This was never done and
the company will attempt to recover
that amount from the city for the past
fourteen years.
1t seems that the city authorities never
knew of that provision of the ordinance
until recently when the last payment

Evidence of Payment.
In regard to the intimation that the
city of Topeka may have to pay $780,
600, an amount already paid covering
the interest on certain water works
bonds, Mayor Fellows said today:
sit is true that the mortgage bond
holders of the Water Works company
have brought a suit against the city, but
it is ridiculous TO think that we will have
to pay over again an amount already
paid to the company. l find that the
Topeka Water Works company not only
paid all of the interest due on the bonds
up to the time of the receivership, but
that the secretary of the company, Jesse
Shaw has in his possession, as vouchers,
the cancelled coupons covering that in
terest Since that time the money, of
course, has been paid to the receiver.

NEARLY A BIG FIRE.
Flames Break Out in Clements &
Chaffee's Store.
GREAT DAMAGE BY FIRE AND WATER.

The Firm VIII Move Into the Hentig
Building While Repairs Are Made.
The city was saved from disastrous
confagration last night by the efficiency
of the fire department though the stock
of one of our leading clothing firms was
almost entirely destroyed
While the high wind was blowing at
1915 last night flames were discovered
bursting through the rear windows
of Clements & Chaffee's clothing
and furnishing store just north
of the National hotel. The fire
had caught the wooden staircases on the
outside and shot high above the build
ing. The waiter girls in the National
hotel who have apartments next to the
store rushed screaming, half dressed
from their rooms, believing that the hotel
was on fire.
When the fire department arrived
Chief Wilmarth himself directed the
first stream of water into the burning
building. The flames at once began to
disappear and in a few minutes the fire
was under control
The fire was fought entirely from the
rear of the building and less damage
was done by the water than if the whole
stock had been deluged
ne plies OF clothing and hats IN the
back part of the building were entirely
destroyed and the effects of the fire we're
shown by the goods more than half way
to the front of the room.
The fire was caused, it is supposed, by
faulty wiring of the building by the
electric light company. In many places
the Insulated wires were pressed tightly
against the metal ceiling aud it was
found that the current had passed
through in many places. 1t prob
ably caught, however, at the rear
door frame from the switch, as one of the
brass caps was found to be melted by
the intense heat of the electrical current.
The fire had been burning at least an
hour before it was discovered.
Clements & Chaffee are not able yet to
make an estimate of the loss as the en-
tire stock is more or less damaged. The
stock was valued at $4,000 and was in
sured for $32,0 600.
The firm has already made arrange
ments to move into the Hentig building
at 708 Kansas avenue. and they expect to
have the stock which is not badly dam
aged moved by Friday.

Pure baking powders are one of the
chief aids to the cook in preparing per-
feet and wholesome food While those
are to be obtained of well established
reputation, like the Royal, of whose
purity there has never been a question,
it is proper to avoid all others.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1895-05-28

In every receipt calling for baking
powder better results and more whole
some food will be obtained by the use of
Royal than any other, because of its
greater leavening strength and absolute
purity.
