ing the fowls and thirteen of them were
released
They were not ufed to city life and
seemed very much confused, but when
the farmer, assisted by half
dozen boys, attempted to drive them
into store they rebelled and
ran down the street This was just what
the boys wanted and away they we1t

and the boys caught the rest at different
points on Kansas avenue between Sew
enth and Eighth streets. A trolley car
passed ever one but it was left unin-
iured on the track.
When the chickens had all been cap
tured and returned TO the box the boys
crowded around the farmer for their re-
ward. They were not even treated to a
"thank vou" and the man pocketed the
pay for his chickens and went away
talking about what bad luck he had. He
lost fifteen minutes time. Tho boys got
no money but they had a dollars worth

MASONIC INSURANCE.


A Case of Consid cradle Interest in the
District Court.
The Masonic Mutual Benefit society of
Kansas has been sued for $1,000 in the
district court under peculiar circum-
stances. A man took out $1,000 policy
in the organization making the children
and grand children whom he should
name in his will the beneficiaries, but he
died without making any will. The Nj
sons refuse on this account to pay the
money.
John H. Parsons was the holder of the
policy. He was Wabaunsee county
farmer living near Maple Hill. He died
on February -. 1895, holding a $4,000
policy payable to his four children, and a
81, 600 policy as described above. His
object in making the $1,000 one as de-
scribed, was that when he came to die he
might leave the money to those of MS
children and grand children who needed
it the most But he died interstate.
The two thousand dollar certificate
was promptly paid to his four children.
These children and their seven heirs
have now begun action to compel the
society to pay to all of them the $1,000.
The order resists complying only because
the grandchildren are minors and migh
fall back on it for the amount again. A
decision of the court Will protect the
Masons. The case will come up Mon

President ClsveIand's Generosity to Kan
Ought Not to Go Begging.
If some Democratic statesman out of a
job will apply to President Grover
Cleveland he might be accommodated.
There is an office in Kansas within the
gift of the president that is begging for
an occupant. It is the position of regis
ter of the United States lan1 Office at
Topeka.
Almost three months ago H. Won Ian
gen resigned. j. S. Richardson, chair
man of the Democratic state central
committee was at once appointed to the
place. The offer must have angered
Richardson for he has not been seen in
Kansas since it was made. This fact is not
surprising, as MIR. Richardson had spent
months importuning the president for a
position, and the office to which he was
appointed, pays at least $500 year.
Such magnanimity on the part of the
president might have overwhelmed a
stronger man than the chairman of the
Democracy of Kansas.
When it became reasonably certain
that Richardson would not accept the
place ex benator John Martin and other
influential Democrats, recommended the
appointment of II. B. Wallace of Salina,
who was formerly clerk in the office,
but he has no. been appointed.
1t is suggested that the president
might find man to take the place if
he would put want adj in the STATE

HOP ALE GOING OUT.


Sales Decreasing and Some of the Stands
Quit Selling 1t.
The sale of hop ale in Topeka is de-
creasing. The weather is too cold and
the novelty of the drink is dying out.
A stand on Fifth street adjoining the
American hop ale headquarters has quit
handling the goods although during the
past summer it sold great many cases
by the drink. Said the proprietor:
81 don't keep the ale any more be-
cause its getting TOO cold weather. There
isn't the demand for it there was some
time back"
Louie Cbarowhas the Greek. still
keeps it, however. and says;
PLENTY Of sale; me pull corks right
along" Aud big corkscrew in view
corroborated his words.
Another stand at SG4 Kansas avenue
still deals out the foaming beverage
which is said to contain only two per cent
of alcohol.
One or two other stands which former
ly sold the ale do so no more.
There is PROFESSIONALLY decrease in
the amount sold owing, no doubt, 10 the
percentage of alcohol being so small.

The question of what will be done
with the little vapor lights used in some
of the outlying portions of the city will
be considered at the next meeting of the
council. The CONTRACT with the company
expires in Decem Der, and it is the gene
raj sentiment among the councilmen
that the contract shall not be renewed.
The lights now cost over $4,000 per
year, and it will cost less than 5000 to
make improvements ia the city electric
light plant which will enable the city to
replace the oil lamps with arc lights.
There is but little doubt that this will be
done because more dynamo capacity is
needed to supply the lights now in use.
It will require sixty arc lights 10 replace
the small lamps and it will be necessary
to add two dynamos to the city plant.
