Says that Chamberlain. Tie&st ScaIpar,
Has No Right to tile business.
The following appears in the ST.
Louis Post Dispatch:
Ticket scAlper Webb at Topeka has
commenced suit to prevent Ticket
scalper Chamberlain frotn continuing to
scalp in that city and especially TO com
pei him to turn over a mem bership in
the so-called American Ticket Brokers
association, ''and the paraphernaIia re-
quired for conducting the business" Tin
Guiding, of COURSE, the chemicals for
erasing the inks, for filing in, e5c.), for
which he said he paid Cham berlain $500
almost three long years ago.
Webb says that for convenience he
permitted the business 10 remain in
Cham berlain's name, though he secured
the profits and paid the latter a salary,
but now, when he demands his own, his
employe refuses to turn it over. The
case seems to show that tickets calping
is profitable and also that some of the
men engaged in it are no more scrupu-
lous in their dealing with each other
than they are with the public and the
railways.

market 531 Topeka avenue. was worked
for a two dollar bill yesterday on a rack

done at Kansas City.
A young looking we'll dressed man
came into the shop and asked If the boy
could give him q five dollar bill for
change. He replied that he could not.
Soon after the stranger returned and
asked if he had a two dollar bill for
change, as be wished to send it away in
= letter.
The boy gave him the bill and it was
placed in an addressed and stamped en-
velope by the stranger. The change
which he gave the boy amounted to but

HE CENSURES LELAND.
Ex-Gov. Osborn Prospective State
Chairman for Kansas,
SATSTHBRBI IS COMPLAINT OF LELAND

That He Has Run Big Politics on
Narrow PIan-GOV. Osborn Speaks
GuardedIy-
Ex-Governor Thomas A. Osborn does
not seem at all excited about the scheme
10 dswn Boss Cy Leland and use him as
the instrument
alt seems to me it is little early to
make plans. but 1 suppose it is because
an early convention is anticipated" said
he. Al have not thought much about the
matter one way or the other and do not
know whether Leland will want to be
either committeeman or delegate TO the
national convention.
aBut no matter whether he will be
candidate or not-the question should be
who can best conserve the interests Of
the party, and if it is thought that Ne
Leland cannot. the people should not
hesitate 10 depose him If they think
that he is the right man ne should be
continued in the position.
This is no time for quibbling. The
Repu blican party is not in the best shape
possible in this state and we must do
what is done with a view of healing the
breaches and quieting dissension in our
ranks. The man who can best do that is
the man to select and do not propose to
suggest who he is.
Il think that Mr.. Leland has done the
party good in the past but there is OBJ
lection to him now Il is charged that
he attempted to run big politics on a
narrow plan and it appears that way 20
an outsider, but it may have been for
the best. The people do not seem salts
ted with him now.
There is nothing in either position
anyway. The position as chairman of
the central committee is q thankless one,
Il is a constant outlay and strain
aud there is nothing in it. There
should be butone consideration, the good
of the party, and the man who has but
that thought aud who satisfies the other
requirements is the man.
There are plenty of men in the state
who would turn the state upside down to
secure the position but they would be of
no service il they were selected"
OF course Gov. Osborn was very
careful not to commit himself on the
question of the use of his name as Le-
lands successor, and the reply to the
question was:

to Boston Critics.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2s.-W. C. T. [. circlas
in this city are emphatic in their en-
dorsement of the position taken BY Miss
Willard in reply to the address sent her
by the Boston branch of the union The
only exception was Mrs. Rounds, presi
dent of the state union, who declined to
express herself as to the merits of the
controversy.
Mrs Katharine L Stevenson, CORES
ponding secretary of the national organ
ization, said: 81 can speak for the ma
tional officers, who know are thorough
" in sympathy with the position taken
by Miss Willard I am greatly sur
prised that the Boston union
should have adopted any such ad-
dress, although l see there was
decided division of sentiment on
the matter. I am disposed to think the
address was due to Mrs. Hill. one of the
members of the Boston union, who has
strong anti Catholic prejudices. Miss
Wizards position will be almost uni
versaIIy indorsed, for it is one of the
cardinal principles of our order that
questions of creed or religious differ
ences shall never enter into our CON
sidarafiOa~

A startling discovery was made last
evening when it was found that one of
the best known citizens of Topeka is a
shower of the queer" The discovery
was made at the Topeka postotice when
the citizens confederate bought a dol
lars worth of stamps and tried to pass
of a counterfeit coin in payment Lucki-
lYx the fraud was discovered before the
man could leave the Office, and the
stamps were taken from him.
The young man begged so hard that
the counterfeit dollar was returned to
him and he will not be prosecuted L
has not been two months since this same
person was fined heavily in police court.
The coin was a good imitation and
could scarcely be detected fran a genu-
inc one.
Chief of Police John n. Wilkerson
laughed heartily. for it was his dollar,
when he was told by the trusty whom he
had sent after stamps, that his money
was counterfeit and had been refused.

BIG DEMAND FOR PENNIES.
Philadelphia Mint Kept Busy With n
Daily Output of 15O.OOO.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S-There are
7ec,0O0,U00 one cent piece outstanding at
the present time, but the number is be-
ing rapidly increased by the Philadel-
phia mint For the last two months
three presses have been constantly in
operation for the exclusive coinage of
one cent pieces. The daily output has
been 10000 pieces. The government
apparently derives a profit of $1,000 d
Gay on this coinage. the seginiorare be-
ing at the rate of nearly 50 per cent OF
the face value of the coins. This profit
disappears, of course, when the coins are
redeemed,
Since August last there has been an ex-
ceedingly heavy demand for one cent
pieces. Treasury officials attribute it to
the growing custom in dry goods es-
abllshmeuts and other business houses
OF marking down prices from round fig
uTes, which practices naturally requires
good supply of pennies for change

No one would suspect it, but Tony
Brown is a genuine Freedman. His
name is not Brown at all, but correctly
spelled is Braun" Neither is his given
name Anthony but Antoine.
OF COURSE Tony was not born in France.
but his father and mother were both Par
isians and the French language was used
constantly in the family. So Tony is
able to speak the language wit b some
degree of precision, but he is "rusty"
and has just commenced the study of
French again. Tony has an aunt ia
Paris, and ha intends TO visit her before
long. He says he will stay in the French
metropolis for an indefinite time.
