To the Mayor and Councilmen of the
City of Topeka.
Gentlemen:-In re claim of Henry M.
Steele for $50 Sc, referred to me some
time ago, will say; have carefully in
vestigated this claim, and am of the
opinion that under the act of the legisla-
ture, creating what is known as the Met
ropolitan Police System of the state, that
the board of police commissioners ap-
pointed for the city of Topeka, has the
right to fix the salary of an officer known
as police sergeant.

claim, signed by two ~ members of the
board of police commissioners at the
time Mr. Steele was appointed sergeant,

by one of these factions to secure the

Pixies on Patents.
How to get 500 and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce people to
keep track Of their bright ideas we offer a
prize of one hundred dollars to be paid on
the first of every month to the person who
submits to us the most merltorious invention
during the preceding month. We will also
advertise the Invention free of charge in the
National Recorder, "a weekly newspaper pub
lished in Washington, ID. c., which has an
extensive circulation throughout the United
States ana is devoted to the interests Of in
vcntors.
Nor so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent something
trikcs most people as being very difficult;
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount of money and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. AL
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune. Unfor-
tunately such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author
The prize we offer at the end ofeach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note
Every competitor must apply for patent on
his invention through us, and whether he &C.
cures the prize or not, the inventor will hsv
a valuable patent.

improved in health. He reports much
interest in the work throughout Ger
many and Scandinavia. In Germany .
several societies have already been

addressed several large gatherings of
young people. He found the enthus
iasm for the society quite as great there
as in America. In England the Bap-
fist lead the society numerically. Eng
land took the banner last year for the
greatest number of new societies formed.
The international convention to be held
in Boston next July already excites
much interest across the water, and an
excursion from Ireland is proposed.
The new year will doubtless see $4,000
societies, with membership of nearly
two and one fourth millions.

WALLER MAY co FREE,
Likely to Be Released if the
Claim for Indemnity Is
Withdrawn.
France Disposed to Give Him Liberty
as a Matter of Courtesy to
This Country.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2O-While
the State Department refuses to give any
information regarding the matter, the i'm
preston exists here that the French Gov
ernment has notified ambassador Eustis
at Paris that it will not furnish a copy of
the record of the court-martial proceedings
against ex-Consul Waller as matter OF
right. Mr.. Walters counsel, Cramm ond
Kennedy of this city, believes, however,
that the record will be furnished to Embas-
sador Eustis if requested as matter OF
courtesy.
1t is not improbable that Mr.. Waller will
be notified by the State Department that
the French Government will release him
from custody as a matter of grace. if this
Government will waive the question OF
indemnity. So far, apparently, he is in
ignorance of this fact. Mrs. Waller strenu-
ously insists upon payment of damages
in compensation for his Imprisonment,
but it is not unlikely that the whole matter
will be referred to the ex-Consul to decide
for himself Should he prefer to remain
in prison upon the chance of obtaining the
indemnity, the State Department and his
counsel will do the best possible for him
under the circumstances.

HARRY HAYWARD TO HANG,
The Murderer of Catherine Cling
Doomed to Die by the
Rope.
His Petition for a New Trial Denied by
the Minnesota Supreme
Court.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Nov. 20.-The
Supreme Court OF Minnesota handed down
to-day a practically unanimous opinion in
the case of Harry Hayward, the murderer
of Catherine Cling, denying his appeal for
new trial. Only the Governors execu-
tive clemency now stands between Hay
ward and the gallows.
The opinion which affirmed the action
of the trial court is long one. The only
point OH which any member of the court
disagrees is as to the admissibility of Mrs.
Hazletine's testimony Chief Justice Starr
dissenting. The Judges find no error in
the conduct of the trial and agree that the
trial Judge did right in excluding the
testimony as to the sanity of Harry Hay
ward while on the stand, when no founda-
ton had been laid regarding his previous
mental condition. 1t was also proper to
exclude testimony as to insanity in the
Hayward family, the distinction between
insanity as direct issue and as collateral
one, affecting the comp etency of witness,
being noted.
When the decision of the court was
made known to the condemned felon he
turned pale, but would only say, ut is
just what expected" He has evidently
abandoned hope of escaping hanging.
County Attorney Nye, to whom Gov
ernor Clough has referred the fixing of the
date of the execution, will name Decem-
her g.

SENATOR ELK|NS SUED.
Action Brought by a Claimant to
Certain Lands in New
Mexico.
Demands an Accounting of Trust
Property Controlled by the
Statesman.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 20.-The trial
of a suit brought by William G. Reucher
against United States Senator Stephen B.
Elkins of West Virginia was begun this
afternoon in the Supreme Court before
Judge Patterson.
The plaintiff sues to recover an interest
claimed by him in certain lands in New
Mexico and also for an accounting. He
claims that in 1871 Mr.. Elkins bought some
lands in New Mexico, in which he (plain-
tiff was to have an interest amounting to
third, and deed to that effect was exc
cuted, under which plaintiffs interest was
to be held in trust by Mr.. Elkins. Reucher
further alleges that Mr. Elkins Eas sold
portions OF the land, receiving large sum
of money therefrom, for which he has
never accounted.
Mr.. Elkins admits that he bought the
lands. He admits further that he signed
a deed under which Reucher was to be-
come entitled TO third of the lands on
paying him 81 25 an acre for the land:
This, he says, is the only paper he ever
signed. He claims that the plaintiff agreed
to pay the price for the land, but failed to
do so, and alleges that the plaintiff subse-
quently relinquished his interests in the
lands. Mr.. Elkins says he sold part of the
land to T. B. Catron on the same terms
that he made with Reucher and, finally,
that the plaintiffs claim is barred by the
statute of limitations.
The case was continued until tomorrow.

The hustle of the departing jurors brought
no CLEAN Of interest to his face, and there

CONFIDENCE IN SOVEREIGN.
knights of Labor Refuse to Accept His
Resignation After an Attack Upon
His Character.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 20.-A special
from Washington says: The elements of
the Knights of Labor represented by the
international socialists. which caused
the downfall of General Master Work
man Powderly a couple of years
ago, endeavored to precipitate another
crisis in the secret meetings of the General
Assembly, Knights of Labor. here to-day.
The representatives of District Assembly
No 40 of New York presented charges
against General Master Workman Sover-
eign to the effect that his administration
is not in line with the best interests of
labor, and that he and his officers have
compromised with capitalists.
Mr. Sovereign defended himself warmly,
and at the close of his speech rendered his
resignation. General Worthy Foreman
Bishop, who was in the chair, sustained a
point of order that verbal resignation
could not be received. The friend of the
administration appealed.
Ry an almost unanimous vote the assem-
bly, refused to accept the resignation and
adopted vote OF confidence in Mr.. Sow
ereign and the other general officers. The
New Workers from No. 49 refused to vote.
