He Drew His Pension in Topeka and Has
Not Been Sesn Since.
Thomas B. Boyd, an old soldier who
used to live in South Topeka, has disap-
peared and his family is fearful leet he
has met with foul play.
Boyd moved to Clinton, in Douglas
county, with his family over a year ago,
and located on a farm. He has since
been in the habit of coming to Topeka
every three months to draw his pension.
On May Boyd came to Topeka az
usual and drew his pension and he has
not been seen since he left the pension
Office.
Even his friends in Topeka did not see
him and his family has not heard from
him since he left home. Boyd's pension
was $24, and it is hardly probable that
he would have been murdered for so
small a sum.
Boyd's daughter came to Topeka yes
terday aud made an Intellectual attempt
to find her father. She visited all his
old friends but secured no trace what

THE MAN THAT ATE.
He Ate So Much That an Injunction
Was Sought.
AND EIGHT CUPS OF COFFEE

Were Required to wash Down His
pFifteen Cent Meal-The Eater says
There IL a Conspiracy Against Him.
There is a man in Topeka who is the
terror of fifteen cent restaurants. His
name is ]. q. Stent and he does not
weigh more than lao pounds but the
proprietors of the restaurants say that
his capacity for disposing of victuals
would startle the most rapacious gour-
mand.
Stent has been taking his meals at q
restaurant on East Sixth street. but his
terrible appetite did not develop until
recently, when he drank eight cups of
coffee and sent his plate back for
the fourth supply of beef, it startled the
keeper of the restaurant He kept quiet
for day or two and then he waited on
Stent and requested him to change his
boarding place
"This place suits me all right" replied
Etent
Cant you see that can't feed you for
10 centsf If you eat here any more it
will cost you a quarter meal"
1--WE will see about you charging me
any more than the other boarders," said
6tent
Then the restaurant man went away
sdO anu OlSHt never lall6Q 10 DC Oh uduQ
at meal time as usual.
The landlord tried another plan. "Now
look here" said he to Stent "I'n give
you 10 cents a meal if you will stay away
from here"
Stent refused the offer and continued
TO eat.
The walters were instructed not to
bring Stent more than a single supply,
but he managed to make it uncomforta-
able for every one at the table and that
plan was voted failure.
Then the landlady called on Judge Joe
Reed and asked his assistance.
81 want you to get me an injunction to
keep that man Stent away from my Ia
BILE. He will bankrupt me if he stays
there"
Judge Reed said that he did not like
to apply for the injunction unless all
other means failed, so he had a talk with
6tent who agreed to change his board
ing place, and he now eats at Is cent
restaurant on the avenue.
Stent says that he is victim of a con-
spiracy. Why, if they knew anything
about anatomy" said he, 'they would
know that the stomach of a man will
hold only SO much. They don't like me
because l am a Spiritualist That is the
trouble"

WHAT THE TWO SAID.
Mayor Waggener Tells What Gov.
Morrill, Said
1T THE HIAWATHA CONFERENCE.

According to This Statement Gov
NORTH said Th2t LeAvenWOrth Is
Getting Along All Right.
The following appears in the Atchison
Globe in relation to the conference of
Mayor Waggener and Governor Morrill,
at Hiawatha Sunday afternoon:
Governor Morrill, told me-" the mayor
said to a reporter today, shat he had
received no complaint of any kind from
Atchison until Howie and Brumbaugh
came, representing themselves as a spe-
cial committee appointed by the citizens
of Atchison; that it was represented to
him by this cnmmittee that the lawless
element had control Of the city; that ladies
could not walk the streets in safety in the
day time, and refrained from attend
ing prayer meeting in the evening;
that the city was overrun with gamblers
and disorderly women, and that no effort
was being made by anyone to enforce the
law; and what they wanted was an order
to the commissioners to see that the law
was enforced. The governor said to
them that he wanted to see the laws en-
forced, but did not believe the prohibi-
tory law could be enforced, unless pub
lie sentiment demanded it, or was back
of its enforcement The committee of
citizens stated that all that was necessa-
~ in Atchison was to issue the order,
and the sentiment was 80 strong that it
would be obeyed, and so the order came.
The governor said he new there were
many good temperance people in Leav-
enwOrth, but that he had heard no com
plants from there. That the people there
seem to be capable of attending to
their own business, and as result
were getting along all right You ask
me what is to be done. This I am not at
liberty to state at this time, except in a
general way. An occupation tax ordi-
nance will be passed, if possible, and
vigorously enforced. The city must
have revenue. am informed that a
large amount of personal property has
been withheld from taxation during the
last five years. have instructed the city
attorney to investigate, and make test
case. l believe we can collect enough
money, which has been withheld, to
make up, five times over for the loss in
revenue sustained, as a result of the a.
ton of Messrs. Howie and Brumbaugn,
l think judicial search light over the
five years will bring some revenue into
the treasury, and enable US to get along
without many criminal prosecutions for
selling liquor"

BASE BALL.

The Athletic association team and the
Giants played a rather uninteresting
game before q small crowd at Athletic
park yesterday afternoon. Augustus
pitching was not such as to enthuse his
support and he plainly took no chance of
hurting his arm. Three new men played
with the Giants. They were Underwood
at third, Cox at short and Heck behind
the bat Underwood was shortstop of
the late Leavenworth team Cox is from
Texas. Their work was only fair.
Phil Mayer made home run for the
T. A. A. in the fourth inning, which was
about the most exciting event of the
game. The score:

JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.
A Case Pertaining to the Recently AbOI-
ished Districts.


Judge Lucien Earle. of Mcpherson.
and Judge F. l. Martin, of Hutchinson,
appeared before the supreme court this
morning, and asked the court to make q
ruling on the law passed by the legisla-
ture consolidating q number of judicial
districts.
The law as passed by the legislature
is to go into effect October Is, and ae-
cording to its provisions at that time
about dozen district judges will be out
of jobs, and the counties of their dis
tricts will be attached to other districts.
There is a provision of the constitution
which says that judge of a court can
not be legislated out of office, and the
judges are interested in having the su-
preme court to declare this law abolish
ing the judicial districts unconstitution-
al.
They ask this because the terms for
which they were elected will not expire
until next January and the law seeks to
abolish their districts and leave them
without court and consequently with
out salary in October.
Judges Earle and Martin wanted the
supreme court to decide which of them
would have jurisdiction to try cases in
some of the counties belonging to an
abolished district after October Is.
The supreme court judges, however,
refused to consider the question at this
time, as the 'law" in question is not yet
a ''law," and they have enough regular
business to take up their time.

Vags, vags, nothing but vags;
Suspects with diamonds on others in rags.
Some of them sober and others with Jays,
Most of them walking but now some on nags;
Shoes that are full of feet, trousers in bags,
Tramps from the mountains and buns from the
Buns who are surly and some who are wags,
They were all taken in. ANY old vags."
When Judge Ferry called at the po-
lice court this morning he found vags to
the right of him. vags to the left Of him
and vags "to the 'front.' of him. A circus
always brings undesirable characters to
town, and last night the police guarded
against them.
The patrolmen in the railroad yards
were more numerous than usual, and all
of the more suspicious looking tramps
were taken to the city prison in order
that the search-Iight of Chief WiIker-
sons cross examination might be turned
on them.
In all there were forty two tramps ar
rested. Most of them were released, but
a few were entered on the regular dock
ct and will be held.
The main corridor was crowded before
half of the tramps were brought in. The
rest were turned loose in the basement
They were a desperate, hungry-looking
mob. This forenoon all except ten of
them were released
The only resistance encountered in
making arrests was at the junction of the
Santa Fe and Union Pacific tracks,
shortly after midnight Sergeant Dono-
| van and three policemen undertook to
capture a gang of hoboes. One of the
men broke away and escaped. Three
shots were fred after him but he did not
stop.
John Riley, tough looking young
Irishman, was the only tramp arraigned
in the police court today. Officers doc"
Ward and "Dee" Wilkerson caught him
on residence street last night They
had followed him several blocks. Riley
stopped at nearly every house he
came to and examined it, walk
ing from one side to tbs
other as though looking for I
| good place of entrance. At severa
houses he stopped and asked for some
thing to eat, and generally threw thu
s'hand- out" in the first alley he came TO
Judge Ferry concluded it was gooG
case of vagrancy and fined Riley $25.
One of the men whom Sergeant Dono
van arrested in North Topeka last nigh
had a gold watch, $16 In silver, and
pint of blackberry brandy on his person
Three of the tramps were able to prov
that they had been harvesting at q farr
north of town for several weeks, an
they were allowed to GO. They had cal
loused hands to show for it.
Altogether it was a lively night for tn
police and the patrol wagon was kel
going almost necessarily.
Only one burglary was reported to
day. The house of II. D. Booge, at tn

1T MAKES GRIEF.

Some of the UnpIeasant Things Thought
less People Do to Ticket Agents.
at seems odd, but it's a fact" says
James P. Rowley, city ticket agent of
the Santa Fe. ''that the duller business
is the more questions are asked us.
When passenger traffic is brisk people
buy their tickets and don't ask about
anything more than the fare and the
time the train leaves. But when bust
ness is dull people come in and ask US
questions by the hour, and then decide
not to buy
There is nothing makes ticket agent
SO mad as to have somebody get him up
over the telephone and ask lot of ques-
tions. Pretty soon they'll enquire what
time does the Missouri Pacific train leave
Independence, going west?' OF course
nobody knows except the agent at that
particular point We answer. 'Wait a
moment and we'll see.' We look through
a pile of schedules a foot thick, and
when we get back to the telephone with
the desired information. the person has
gone
