one may judge by past proofs of
their liberality in such respect.

they occasionally give worthy cause

and Miss Georgia Flack recognizing
this saw an opportunity to add to the
charity fund and have consented tc
give their aid to Misses Rousseau and

there is no reason to anticipate only a
most attractive entertainment. The

A HOT CITY ELECTION.
The ontests for OounciImen Will be Set
tied Tomorrow.

The ontests for CouncIlmen Will be Set
tied Tomorrow.
The Democratic nominations for
city councilmen in six of the wards
of Hopkinsville will be made tomor-
row in primary election between the
hours of a. m. and 4 p. m. In some
wards there will be close and doubt
full contests, while in others the re-
suit is clearly foreshadowed.
In the first ward Councilman Hol-
land is a candidate for e-election and
the ward seems to be we'll satisfied
with him. There have been some eff
forts to get out another candidate,
and it is said Dr. j. M. Dennis, who
is absent in Virginia, will be voted for
by those opposed to Mr.. Holland.
In the second, Councilman Forbes
is opposed by Mr.. J. ID. Ware and a
hot contest is on between them.
In the third, Councilman Steele and
Mr.. Dennis R. Perry are having
lively race with the excitement getting
to a white heat.
In the fourth there seems to be
but little opposition to Councilman
Dalton. Nearly all of the voters
have signed call upon him, but there
is some talk of an opposing man be-
ing put out against him, but who it
will be could not be learned yesterday.
The fifth is the Republican strong
hold and no candidates are after the
nomination in that ward.
In the 9th, calls were circulated
last week upon several gentlemen to
run against Councilman Flack, but
the opposition finally centered on
MIR. Harry Hopper and the race will
be run out between them.
In the 7th, Councilman Pool has
two opponents, Mr.. W. j. Withers
from his own end of the ward and
ESQ. Alex Campbell from the North
end. There are Is voters on North
Main street who met and en-
dorsed Mr.. Campbell and asked both
of the other candidates to let them
have the councilman, but this was
not agreed to and the contest will be
fought out at the polls.
It is likely that in some of the
wards the old members will be de-
feated, though majority of them are
pretty certain to pull through.

JUDGE JACKSON DEAD.

The Trip to Washington fastened the End
But the Great Jurst Hesltated Not
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. S.---The
Hon. Howell Edmunds Jackson, AS
sociate Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States, died at his resi-
dence at West Meade, six miles west
of this city at 2 o'clock yesterday af-
afternoon, in the 64th year OF his age.
Judge Jackson had been in failing
health for the past four years, but it
has been only in the past eight or nine
months that the progress of disease be-
gan to cause his family and friends
uneasiness. Last year he went on a
lengthy trip to the far West in search
of health. Later he went to Thomas
vile, Ga, where it was hoped the mild
and yet bracing climate would restore
his one-time vigorous constitution.
The trip did him little good, and after
time he was brought home. At his
old home, and surrounded by the
scenes he loved so we'll Judge jack
son seemed to improve steadily until
he went to Washington to sit in the
second hearing of the income tax cases.
He stood that trying trip only fairly
we'll, and after his return home APP.
peared to lose strength rapidly
Nevertheless, Judge jackson never
took to his bed until last Wednesday
week. Since that time his family
and friends realized that the end was
near, and his death yesterday was not
unexpected.
Judge jackson was twice married
the first time to Miss Sophia Malloy,
daughter of David B. Malloy, a
banker, of Memphis, who died in 1873.
To this union were born four children,
as follows: Henry, Mary, William H..
and Howell Jackson. Henry Jackson
is at present Soliciting Freight Agent
of the Southern Railway, with head
quarters at Atlanta. W. b. Jackson,
Jr., is District Attorney of the Chesa-
peake d Ohio Railway at Cincinnati.
Howell E. jackson is manager of
the Jackson Cotton Mills at jackson,
Tenn. In 1876 Judge jackson mar
ried Miss Mary E Harding, daughter
of the late Gen. VIM. G. Harding.
Of this union three children survive
Misses Elizabeth and Louise Jackson
and Harding A. Jackson. With the
exception of Miss Elizabeth Jackson
and VIM. Fl. jackson, Jr., who are in
Europe, the children were at the bed
side when the distinguished sufferer
passed away.
The news of Judge Jackson's death
caused general sorrow in the city where
he was so we'll known and admired.
The arrangements for the funeral
have not been fully completed, but ii
is known that it will take place next
Sunday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock.
Judge jackson was elected to the
lower house of the Forty-second Gen
eral Assembly from Madison County
in 1880, and by that assembly elected
to the United State Senate.
On the 18th of April, 1886, he was
nominated by President Cleveland to
be Circuit Judge of the United States
for the Sixth Judicial Circuit, to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the death
of the Hon. John Baxter.
On Feb. 2, 1894 Judge Jackson was
nominated by President Harrison to
be Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, vice L. @.
G. Lamor, deceased.

Care VIII Be Taken That They of Other
Faith Vote Not Saturday.
The Republican county central COM
mittee is taking steps to stop, if possible,
the voting at the Saturday primaries of
persons other than Republicans. A
strict watch will be put on all precincts
and challengers will be ready with their
snickersnees to stop the voting of other
than sworn supporters of the Republican
party.
In line with this Chairman Charles
Elliott and Secretary C. D. Watson of the
central committee have issued circular
to the supervisors of the primaries. one
paragraph of which reads as follows:
''The most important question you will
have to decide on next Saturday will be
the politics of the challenged voters.
The committee adopted the resolution
that the test of a mans Republicanism
should be the manner in which he voted
at the last state election. In other words
if a man voted the Republican ticket who
was Democrat, and says he intends to
vote the ticket in the future, he ought to
be allowed to vote. On the contrary if
he voted the Republican ticket, but still
holds that he is q Democrat, he ought
not to be allowed to vote. The fact that
a man is willing to take oath that he ex-
poets to support the nominee of this
primary without reference to his politics
is not considered a good test

BISHOP THOMAS PORTRAIT
Painted by Artist Geo. NJ. Stone for Mrs.
Thomas.

Painted by Artist Geo. NJ. Stone for Mrs.
Thomas.
Artist George M. Stone of Topeka has
just completed an excellent life-size por-
train of the late Bishop Elisha S. Thomas.
The picture is in ole and is two thirds
length, representing the bishop seated,
clad in his clerical robe of white and
black.
The picture was made by the order of
the bishops son, Rev. Nathaniel s.
Thomas, who will present it to his
widowed mother on her birthday, next
Saturday.
The painting was made by Mr. Stone
from a photograph taken in New York
several years ago. Dean Millspaugh and
other intimate friends of the late bishop
have called to see the picture and they
praise the likeness highly. The artist
succeeded admirably in giving an ex-
preston to the face that portrays much
of the bishops strength of character
Mr. Stone has been at work on the
portrait for two months, although he has
given it only limited amount of his
time during that period. 1t has been
suggested that the portrait may be dupli-
Gated for Bethany college, but the faculty
has taken no action regarding this.

IS CASH WASTED?

Mayor Fellows Says it Isn't Worth While
to Improve it Much.
Mayor Fellows is not enthusiastically
in favor of improving the City park. II
am in favor of making Improvements if
it can be done at little or no expense"
said he, 'sbut / would not be in favor of
spending much money down there at the
mouth of the sewer.
"The location is no place for park,
and no amount of work can make it suit
able. 1 would be in favor of giving the
ground to some one to build packing
house or something of the kind on. 1t
would be better for that than for park"
Mayor Fellows thinks that the place to
go to work is on the state house square.
"When the state house grounds are i'm
proved" said he, sit will give the city
lots of park room. No one can imagine
what effect that will have. OF course
the grounds are in charge of the state
officers, but work is being done now on
the plans for the improvement of the
grounds, and the Improvements will be
commenced soon.
"Of course the city cannot do the work
but it can assist those who do it. We can
put on four or five teams occasionally
and not miss them. It will take q great
deal of work to put the grounds in shape
and it cannot be done in a week. I think
that the prisoners might be worked on
the grounds to an advantage"

The Madagascar News Reaches
Topeka With Accounts
OF THB AMERICANS ILL TREATMENT.

COIOred People of Topeka te Hold
Mass Meeting in His Behalf
Philip Pickett, the well known Topeka
colored man has just received copy of
the Madagascar News which contains an
account of the troubles of John L Wal
Ter and expresses the sentiments of the
people of the island of Madagascar
toward the French for their treatment of
Waller.
The leading colored men of Leaven-
worth recently held a meeting and de-
cided to do all in their power to secure
Walters release. They accordingly en-
gagged the services of Col J. H. Gil
patrick who has gone to Paris in Walters
behalf
Col, Fitzpatrick sailed from Montreal
last Saturday on the Numidian, the same
steamer on which DR.. A. 8. Embree
sailed for Europe.
Since this Madagascar paper has
reached Topeka, and has been shown
around to number of prominent citi-
zens, public meeting in Walters behalf
has been called, and will be held Thurs
day evening at Justice Growers Office.
Judge John Guthrie has interested
himself in the matter and will make a
speech at the meeting.
The Madagascar News in its summary
of the news for April goth, contains the
following:
SIT is impossible to express the feel
ing of surprise that this community feels
at the news that John L. Waller, late
American consul at Tamatave, has been
condemned by the French at Tamatave
to twenty years imprisonment in the mil
ltRry prison at Corsica as a spy
"On the strength of few private let

capital, and the fact that before leaving
her for Tamatave, with the view of
proceeding to America on business, he
had undertaken to execute few small
commissions for some Hova gentlemen

revolvers, this unfortunate gentleman
has been condemned to Fundamentally
has to leave his family destitute, and is
subjected to infamy, and the degradation
of herding with the lowest class of
criminals.
sit is we'll known to all residents of
Madagascar that ever since Mr.. Waller
obtained the Fort Dauphin land conces-
sion, he has been subjected to the undis-
guised luminosity of the French, which
has at last eliminated in this latest afro
city.
every legitimate enorE was mdoe Dy
Mr.. Ed. relfair Weuer, the acting
United States Consul, to secure Mr..
Walters release, but as no American
man of war was present, all that could
be done was to transmit full report of
the court martial to Washington.
"Without trial or the shadow of an ex-
cuse he was ordered to be exiled to Fan
zibar and left per So. Djemnah, in COM
pany with his stepfather, for that port on

sour sincere sympathy is given to
Mrs Waller, who is left here in the
capital with her large family without
means, and bereft by this foul injustice

LAST DAY FOR SANTA FE
OF COURSE.
Stockholders to Pay Their Assessment Of
$12 y Share

$12 Share
Yesterday was the last day the stock
holders of the Santa Fe were privileged
to pay their assessment of $12 a share
and get hand in the reorganization of
the system. The penalty goes into effect
today.
The penalty is said to be a graduated
one, arranged according to the length of
the delinquency and the amount of the
holding. The average penalty for the
next few weeks is said to be about $3.50
share in excess of the former assess
ment Master in chancery ]. B. johnson
is inclined to believe that there is no
penalty attach he'd to delinquency in turn
ing over stock, but other good Santa Fe
authority maintain that there is such a
penalty.
The amount of stock outstanding at
the time of closing books last evening
cannot be ascertained exactly, but it is
estimated that it is less than eight per
cent of the whole amount Two weeks
ago the assessment had been paid on
ninety per cent
The time when the books will be closed
to payment of the assessment on stock,
with or without penalty, has not been
fixed. It is stated, however, that when
that time comes a group of Wall street
underwriters have agreed to pay the
balance that would have come from the
delinquent stockholders, thus practically
getting the stock at their own prices

A Man in Police Court Who has COngss-

''pardner." He was Isaac AndIs, 43 years
old, who disturbed the peace of Mrs. An
dis, aged Az. They live in North Tope-
ka- Yesterday they had quarrel. The
events leading to the quarrel were of
domestic nature which the litigants
would have told gladly, but Judge Fer
ry held that they were not material
in determining whether or not Audis had
disturbed his wife's peace. The evil
dence showed that Mr.. Andis took ad-
vantage of his wifs's absence to throw
her trunk and bed out of the house. In
explaining why he did it Andis said:
~ on see it's this way, pardner. l have
congestion of the nerves when / git mad.
Fact / have to take this medicine all
the time" aud he pulled a bottle of
black stuff from one of his pockets.
Judge Ferry thereupon issued a mau-
date decreeing that congestion of the
nerves is not sufficient excuse for throw

WILL BE IMMENSE.

The Yield Of Potatoes By Irrigation
IA Geary County.
There is considerable irrigation going
on in Geary county, only sixty miles
west of Topeka One family named
Erickson is irrigating fifteen acres with
water out of Clsrk's creek near junction
City. Ten acres of this is in potatoes,
which it is already apparent are going
to make an immense yield. The firm
that sold the pumping plant did not ex-
pect more than five acres to be irrigated.
but the apparatus has been shown to be
equal to fifteen acres. The irriRators
are very sanguins as to the outcome,
Many of the neighbors are watching
the experiment with considerable inter-
est and next year irrigation will show q
great growth il this part of Kansas
