ssyOTED" A BIG BOY.
Kansas Election Laws Violated by the
Baker at the Reform School.

Kansas Election Laws Violated by the
Baker at the Reform School.
There is a good deal of complaint
among local Republicans because the
state board of charities has not removed
F. F. Forney, the baker at the reform
school
Baker Forney is son of State Senator
Fornev and he is an offensive partisan,
drawing $50 a month from the state for
his services.
Last fall at the state election all of the
employees at the reform school were
allowed to vote in Soldier township
and Forney voted with the rest. The
reason the local Republicans want him
removed. however, is that he practiced
fraud and voted one of the big boys who
is an inmate of the school.
This inmate is a boy named Barstow
and with Forney's assistance he dressed
in citizens clothes and went to the polls
and voted.
Forney represented to the election
! Judges that Barstow was from Cowley
county and was employed at the Reform
F, school as a farmer. The judges thought
the statement was all right and allowed
/ him to vote.
Barstow is from Cowley county, but he
is in the Reform school as criminal and
not as an employee.
| The local Republicans think Forney' 3
| $50 job should be given to some Repub-
| lican in a rush.

Headquarters Will Net be Moved
General Railroad News OF Kansas.
A short time ago a Chicago paper pub
lished story that Receiver Walker had
determined to transfer all the heads of
departments to Chicago in order to be in
touch with them. This is regarded. by
the Santa Fe officials as an idle tale with
out the least foundation.
Receiver Wilson said in talking about
the matter to a JOURNAL reporter: ut is
not the policy of the road to transfer
the headquarters anywhere, and you
may say that they will not be moved
from Topeka. More than that, when
the road gets on its feet once more am
satisfied that the shops here will be en-
larged as the business increases. There
will be more work than can be done
here, as all the work is not now being
done which should, and the shops will
be enlarged as soon as possible
"Of course, probably nothing will be
done until the Reorganization is effected,
but after that it will be found that it is
not the policy of the road to slight To-
peka.
Topeka is the home of the Santa Fe
railroad, and it will continue to be-"

Three CoIOred Women On jackson Street
Resist Policemen.

Three CoIOred Women On jackson Street
Resist Policemen.
The toughest colored women in town
have been parading after dark lately on
Jackson street, from Sixth to Ninth
streets. The police determined to stop
it, and last night Sergeant Donovan and
Officer Gaines went after them. At
about Q o'clock they found Henrietta
Powell, Johanna Dupree and Lii Saun-
ders near the. corner of Seventh and
Jackson. The Dupree woman submit
ted peacefully, but the other two re-
sisted, Henrietta Powell especially.
While Officer Gaines held both the
Saunders and the Powell women, Miss
Saunders lay down on the sidewalk and
refused to bulge, while Henrietta Pow
ell fought Then he let go of Lii Saun-
ders in order to manage Henrietta
Powell, AID Lii slipped up
and gave him vicious
upper cut on the back. Then Gaines
put his strong right arm about Henrietta
not because he wanted to but to hold
her, and grabbed the Saunders woman
wit hthe other.
By this time Sergeant Donovan with
Miss Dupree came to Gaines help, and
the creatures went along with only YER
bal resistance. Their profanity, how
ever, shocked even Sergeant Donovan.
At the station the Powell woman was
highly indignant because Gaines had
held her by the waist She said that
''too much flamerality breeds despise"
In court today Johanna Dupree was
fined SO, Lii Saunders was fined $15 and
Henrietta Powell $25, the last two hav-
ing the charge of resisting an officer
coupled with street walking.

TO MAKE 1T PRETTY.
City Street Force Will Clean Up
State House Square.
HEAPS OF RUBBISH MUST CO.

Other state House News OF General
Interest and Personal Matters.
Now that the members of the state ex-
ecutive council have started the work of
improving aud completing the state
house they also propose to improve the
appearance of the state house yard.
During the session of the legislature
last winter a bill was introduced pro-
viding for an appropriation of $4,000 for
the improvement of the state house
grounds. This bill contained provision
that the appropriation should be avail
able only when the city of Topeka would
provide like sum to be used with it for
the same purpose.
Since that bill failed to pass and as the
city is as much interested in the improve
ment of the state house grounds as the
occupants of the state hoase, it is now
proposed that the city street force be
used IN the work of grading and laying
off the grounds under the direction of
the state architect and superintendent of
| state house grounds.
a short time ago the executive coun-
| Gil hired Engineer VIM. Tweeddale to
survey the grounds and esta blish the
grades. This work has been done and
there are now grade stakes all over the
state house grounds.
At the next meeting of the city coun-
| Gil it is likely that resolution will be in
! troduced authorizing the street commits
! sioner to work his force of six teams and
all the men on the regular pay roll for
one week on the state house grounds. If
this is done the state house square can
soon be made beautiful resort
! There is a vast amount of old rubbish
including cinders, broken thing and
pieces of building stone which should be
removed from the state house grounds
before this work of grading is COM
menced.
| 1t is to be hoped the executive council
will prohibit practice which has been
inaugurated, that of placing signs of
business houses about the grounds. II
this is not stopped the entire walls of
| the state house may soon be covered by
the landscape artist who notifies the dear
people that "Smith's Soap is Sweet" and
| that sMothers Food is for Babies"

FIGHT WITH THE GOVERNOR.

Shawnee County Central Committee OBJ
ject to His Proposed Elections Com
missioner.
Frank Herald, Populist commissioner
of elections, has not been removed,
much to the surprise of the Republi-
cans, though the charges have been
ready to file for some time.
The reason he has not been removed
is because there is a difference of opin-
ion between the governor and the county
central committee as to who shall be his
successor The governor wants to ap-
point r. B. McMasters of North To-
peka, and the committee has agreed
upon Captain c. II. Titus.
Early in the week a delegation from
the central committee headed by Chair
man Elliott went to the governors office
to file the charges and the understand
ing~was that as soon as the charges were
filed Herald should be removed and his
successor named at once
This arrangement was satisfactory to
the committee but when the governor
informed them that he intended to ap-
point McMasters there was a hitch The
committee told him they had agreed up
on Captain Titus and they thought that
the governor should at least allow them
to dictate the appointment of a commits
sioner of elections for Topeka.
The governor refused to recede from
his position and the committee then re-
fused to file the charges. and left the
governors Office taking the charges
with them.
The charges against Herald simply
charge him with Irregularities in the
conduct of the office and the newspaper
articles printed during the registration
last fall are made the basis for the
charges.
The trouble will probably be ended by
some one other than the central commit
tee filing the charges, unless the COVER
nor will recede from his position.

a Cap Blows On WaShOut Plug and
Breaks an Engineers Leg.
An odd accident, with serious results,
took place on the Missouri Pacific
railroad one day this week.
The train was on the side track at
Haven and the engine was doing some
switching when the cap blew off one of
the washout plugs on the right side of
the boiler next to the engineers seat.
The cap struck and broke Engineer
Arthur Hodgson's left leg just below the
knee, and he was terribly scalded on the
entire left side of the body. He escaped
by falling backward out of the cab win
dow, about nine feet from the ground.
He was bruised considerably and suffered
intensely. He was taken to the hospital
at Kansas City.
His fireman. R. NJ. Kitzleman, jumped
from the cab window on his side, but
aside from few bruises was uninju

THE DRUG KILLED HIM.

Bert Priddy Who Took Strychnine Died at
1870 Last Night.
B. A, Priddy, the Osawkee young
man whose disappointment in love affairs
led him to take strychnine at the St
Nicholas hotel yesterday, died last night
at 1920 from the effects of the poison
The young man suffered intensely all
day, but was only partially conscious.
Dr. Storrs did all in his power to ease his
suffering, although realizing that it was
impossible to save him. Bert's father sat
by his bedside all day long.
In compliance with the note which the
young man wrote before taking the
drug. he will be buried in the Osawkie
cemetery by the Modern Woodmen, of
which order he was a member.

Four Clergyman Who Are Spoken of for

The matter of the election of a new
bishop for the diocese of Kansas to sue
coed the late lamented Bishop Thomas
will occur next week at Grace cathe-
draI in this city.
At least rs delegates will be present,
ministers and laymen, and few bish-
ops from other states will attend.
Bishop Spaulding of Colorado will
open the convention with a sermon on
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.
A telegram has been received from
Bishop Gilbert of Minnesota announcing
his intention to be present, and it is
likely also that Bishop Tuttle of Missouri
will be here.
The convention will be divided into
two houses, one of the ministers and one
of the lay delegates. When they agree
upon man for the position he must
then be passed on by the national do
cese and three bishops.
There are now four candidates talked
of and it would seem that Dean Mills
paugh of Topeka is largely favored.
The others are Dean Gardiner of Omaha,
Rev J. D. Hewitt of Lincoln and Rev. j.
S. Van Herlich of Wichita. Any mem
Der of the church is eligible.
