RESULT OF A QUARREL

The following Associated Press dis
patch was received in this city this aft
ernoon;
Denver, Col. Nov. 14-A special to
the Republican from Ell PasO, Texas,
says:
Robert J. Black, a brother of the as
sistant passenger agent of the Atchison.
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, and a clerk
in the Santa Fe freight department here
was shot and seriously wounded today,
by Henry 8ierholze, a bartender, as a
result Of a quarrel. The ball passed
through the left arm, and entered the
body. HierhOlze has been arrested.
AS stated in the dispatch, Robert ].
Black is a brother Of W. J. Black of
this city, assistant general passenger
agent of the Santa F'e, and formerly
resided in Topeka from the fall of 1885
to the spring of 1887, coming here from
St. Louis. During that time he was
employed as a pressman in the printing
esta bhshment of George w Crane & Co
Mr. Crane states that while in his en-
plOy he was a steady young man, and
left the establishment of his own ac-
cord.
After leaving this city Black secured
employment in Kansas City, but re-
mained there but a short time. From
Kansas City he went to Seattle, Wash,
and from there to Central America
where he spent over two years.
The last time he was in Topeka was
in the summer of 1894 during the big
Santa Fe strike. He remained in this
city for several weeks and left for EI
Paso, Tex, where he took a position in
the Santa Fe freight department.
Robert J. Black was not well known
in this c1ty,and even of those who know
him few were aware that he was
brother of W. J. Black.
AIr w J. Black has been absent from
the city on business since Thursday of
last week and was in Albuquerque. N.
M, a few days ago. 1t is probable that
word has reached him of the shooting
of his brother, and he is now in El
Paso. No information concerning the
shooting, except the Associated Press
dispatch. has been received in Topeka

PoPULIsTs CONSERVATIVE.

Senator H. G. Jumper Of Usage eoun-
ty is in Topeka today
1.-THE result of the election" he said
puts the Populist party on trial and if
it proves unequal to the emergency, If
it fails to redeem its promises and
makes no Improvement on the corrupt
and extravagant Republican manage
ment of state affairs, it deserves to be
repudiated by the people However,
now that we have absolute control, 4 am
confident that the party viii enact some
useful and needed legislation"
Asked his opinion Of what legislation
would be enacted, he said:
Il think there will be a general reduc-
ton of salaries and cutting down OF
expenses all along the line. Useless state
boards and commissions viii be abolish
ed and others consolidated In other
words economy viii be the watchword,
and we propose TO save the state over
a half million dollars above the Repub-
Hcan administrati
we will also enact some needed rail-
road legislation, such as a reduction Of
freight and passenger rates and the
abOHshment of the free pass system
There viii also be a revision of the as
sessment and taxation laws and a re-
ductiOn Of the legal rate Of interest
The party viii, however. be cOnserv-
ative in all matters, and the legislation
it enacts will be equitable. and VIII not

A Big Contest Takes Place on the
Road From London to Brighton.

Road FROM LONDON TO Brighton
London, Nov 14.-An enormous con-
course of people including the Duke of
Teck and Princes Edward and Her
man of SaXe-W Weimar witnessed the
start to day from the Hotel MetropOle
of about so motor cars and cycles under
the auspices of Motor Car club in an
inaugural journey from London to
Brighton. this being the date when the
new highways act comes into force.
The start was preceded by a breakfast
at the MetropOle, after which the chair
man, the Earl OF Winchelsea. amid loud
cheers, tore up the red flag which ac-
cording to the law it has hitherto been
necessary to have carried in front OF
road motors.
A number of the motor cars are cleo
tric; others belong to the Brittannias
company system and to the great wheel
and carriage company. The British
motor syndicate which has acquired all
the principal patents for Great Britain
will be represented by over a dozen cars
and vans and the Pennington carriage,
an American invention, has also enter
ed vehicles.
The start was made from the hotel at
1890 a. m Luncheon will be served en-
route at Reigate and upon arrival at
Brighton a dinner win be served at the
Hotel MetrOpole there
A race of exciting proportions is an
ticipated. The police arrangements for
the race are perfect and the event has
attracted widespread attention.

THAT RECEPTION
John r. Mulvane, President OF
Bank Of Topeka.
Wants Reception to the New
State Administration
TO BE A CORDIAL ONE.
Does Not "Believe Leedy win
Do Anything Wrong"
Major Sims, President Of the
First National,
Says "Leedy Is Our Governor
as Well as AnybOdy's.'
OTHERS FAIRMTNDED.
Frank BOnebrake Says Topeka
People Should Boom Reception.

John r. Mulvane, president of the
Bank of Topeka, is in favor of carry
ing out the plan of receiving the new
state administration suggested by the
Commercial club. He said.
1T is just the thing. 1t should be
done by all means, and am heartily
in favor of the plan. We should give
the state administration all the assist
ance in our power. What we are in
terested in is good government and we
should encourage the new state officers
as much as we can. I do not believe
that Governor Leedy viii do anything
wrong"
Major Sims, president of the First
National bank, said when asked what
he thought of the proposed reception.
1t should be made big affair We
must remember that the governor has
been elected by a majority of the votes
of the state and he is our governor as
well as anybOdy's.
4 have no sympathy with this cry
about the new administration. / be-
lieve in ascribing to every one the
best possible motives. and I do not be-
heve that the new administration is
going to do anything to injure the
state.
we should receive the officers as
BELTS their position. They are public
officers, and in that capacity they must
be forgotten and they should be en-
tertained, not as Democrats or Popu-
lists but as citizens of Kansas.
Il think that whatever this reception
is, it should not be any less brilliant
i or. cordial than others that have been
given and every citizen Of Topeka
should be interested in its success
This is not a matter of partisan poll
tics.
Mr. P. L Bonebrake is out of the city.
F. NJ. Bonebrake of the Central Ma
tional bank said. While some Of as
may not agree with the incoming state
administration in politics. it should not
affect our treatment of the officers
when they come to Topeka. They
should be received cordially. A ma
jority of the voters of the state have
said that they are entitled to the Of
fees and there is no use Of sulzing
about it.
Another thing that should be re-
membered is that these people have i'm
terests in Kansas just the same as any
of US. If they injured the state they
would consequently be injuring them
selves, and they are not going to do
it. have faith that the new state
administration will do what they think
right and I am not ready to admit that
they will do anything very far wrong.
L believe in making this proposed
reception a success and I believe in the
people of Topeka taking a. hand and
seeing that it is made a success.

with the money hire men who can do
the work in a better manner than it is
done ia many places at the present
time.
~Of course such a law would have to
be made optional with each county, as
there are many counties where the
people would not be in favor Of such
a law. Under the present system many
people hire men to work for them at
the rate of 75 cents a day and each
days work counts for a dollar with
the county The county loses % cents
by getting the kind of labor that is
often gotten under the present system,
the counties only get about so per cent
as much benefit of the work as they
ought. owing to the fact that the labor
and the teams are inexperienced in the
work"
DO you think that the matter of a
constitutional convention viii come
up"
Yes, I think the resolution to sub
NIT the proposition to a vote Of the
people Will undoubtedly be passad-
have heard of no one that is opposed
to it,
Il think that the legislation that viii
pass this legislature viii be such as
will seek to remedy defects in our pres
ent laws where they have become ap-
parent and such as will encourage all
legitimate Investments of capital in
this state and VIII protect all legit-
mate existing interests. I do not
think that schemes to foster and build
up fraudulent corporations or other en-
terprises viii find any favor and every
one knows that they ought not to. Le-
Ultimate business interests and the
welfare Of the state viii be taken care
Of and no person ought to have any
fear that any wild-eyed schemes or
ruinous policy Will be accepted

Mr.. Ferguson, in speaking Of the sit-
uation to a Journal reporter, said-
There are a great many people who
said they would not buy unless the
election went their way, but ind that
after awhile they come around just the
same one man who told me he
would not buy a certain piece of prop
erty unless Bryan was elected came
back three or four days after the cleo
tion and said that he guessed he would
take the property. These people who
made their purposes contingent upon
the election conclude that it does not
make much difference and they buy
anyway A Republican who told me
after election that he was disguised
with Kansas because Of the way the
election went. and who said he would
not buy a house he intended to, has
changed his mind and decided 20
I consider the outlook encouraging
for Topeka. 1t is all people could
ask"
