After a number of postponements of
games scheduled for clubs in The Times
Juvenile League on account OF rain, the
weather man was good yesterday and fur
nishei fair day for the Belmonts and Mas
cots, the two new members of the organiza-
tion, to play at Arsenal Park.
The Mascots won the contest by superior
all-round play by the score OF 13 to 2,
although the game was very interest
ing one from start to finish. The Belmonts
Were not discouraged by their defeat yes
teFday, but say they will redeem them
selves when they meet the Mascots again,
which will be on Saturday.
The Eastern BUDS will endeavor to get
in game this afternoon, when they will
meet the Georgetown Eagles. The Eagles
defeated the Cliffburns the last game they
played, and they will try to down the
Buds, who are row leading. The Buds
can be depended upon to put up strong
game, as the loss of the contest means fourth
place to them. Lowd and Bland will UNI
pire the game this afternoon.
The Potomacs aud Belmonts are scheduled
TO meet tomorrow and good game is
assured, as the Belmonts are very anxious
TO get start and the Potomacs are equally
anxious to strengthen their hold on the ro-
sition they occupy. Bland and Hilton will
be the umpres.

ever, were alive with people four dayslater.

Senator Taylor will only be seriously

in the event of the nomination of Billy

Taylor, although af1liating with the
Populists, was elected four years ago as
an anti BuchanR Republican and he defeat

LET CONTRACT THURSDAY.
The Furnishing of New Electric Lights
for the City.
MATTER NOT SETTLED LAST NIGHT

other Matters Disposed Ofby the city
COunciH-Mfnor Mention.
The city council seemed afraid to Crap
pie with the electric light contract last
night. The representatives of the bid
ders were present and fortified, but moth
ing was said by any one.
City Engineer Barnes had been sent
to Lawrence to consult Professor Blake
about the respective merits of the two
dynamos being considered and he was
present at the meeting, but he was not
allowed to make his report.
City Engineer Barnes was not able to
secure a positive opiaion from Professor
Blake. He answered technical ques--
tions, but positively refused to say
which he considered the best machine.
He said that he did not consider it fatal
mistake to run a dynamo at a greater
rate of speed than 800 revolutions, He
also said that the weight of the dynamo
did not cut great figure,
The council adjourned to next Thurs
day evening. when the contract for the
electric light plant Improvements will be
finally settled. Councilman Drew says
that the contract will be let this week.
It appears that the council is about
evenly divided on the question of letting
the contract between the Western Elec-
trio company, of Chicago. and the
Fit. Wayne Electrical corporation. The
bids are only a few dollars apart, but
one of the companies provided for hoods
for the lamps as called for In the specif
cations while the other did not. One of
the companies claim that hoods are not
necessary, and to offset that they
offer a patent hanging device.

The TOPeka Savings Bank Closes Up
Hts Business and Pays DeP0sitOrs.
In another column of this paper will
be seen the notice of the Topeka Savings
bank, which calls in all books and ad-
vises depositors that hereafter 40 deposits
will be received nor interest paid upon
accounts.
The bank was opened in 1887. The
capital invested was not large, and as the
past few years have been extremely bad
for all financial business, and az the bank
paid interest upon all money deposited,
il has not been a source of profit to the
incorporstors.
The directory have concluded that it
would be wise 10 discontinue at this time
and pay off the depositors, and while
they regret the move, as the institution
has undoubtedly been of great service to
quite number of the citizens of Topeka,
and of considerable profit to them as
we'll, (the bank having paid about $50, 900
in interest on accounts) circumstances
are such that the directory do not think
they would be justified in a longer con-
tinuance of the business.

FORTY GENTS FOB THE HEIRS.


EsE@G@ worth %%CsOOO E&te0 Up In Legal
Expenses.
A striking illustration of the manner in
which large estate may be literally eaten
up in the process of probate was given re-
Gently in the probate department of the
superior court of Los Angeles county, Cal.
In December, 1870, Incarnation Bucina
died in Los Angeles, leaving an estate
valued at $50, 600, which has been in the
courts on litigation growing out of the
settlement ever since, dragging along I'M
til Ii was almost forgotten by those who
had originally instituted the proceedings.
When the public administrator came
into court, q few days ago, to file his ac-
counts and settle the business Of the estate,
it was found that, after all claims and
costs of administration had been allowed,
there was but 80 cents left to divide among
the heirs During the time that had
elapsed since the death of Bucina all of
the heirs had either died or left the coun-
try, and, there being no claimant for the
remnant Of the competency, the judge, after
mature elaboration, ordered the full
amount turned into the county treasury,
thereby closing the account.
There have been numerous cases where
large estates have dwindled into insignifi-
canoe after they had passed through the
hands of administrators but this is be-
Heved TO be the first on record where the
entire property has been consumed in the
mere matter of paying routine legal ex-
penses where there has been no particular
contest and no charge of dishonesty on the
part Of those who had the matter in charge.

Il is said that neither T. J. Kellam nor
E. P. Kellam left wills to provide for the
distribution of their fortunes. The men
were worth in the neighborhood of
100000 each when they died and their
fortunes will go to their families as the
law provides. T. ]. KelIam left a wife
and three children. But one child and
a wife survive E. P. Kellam. 1t follows
that the fortunes will be kept intact.

Neither Would State superintendent of
Insurance. Anthony.
Two distinguished officials in the state
capitol building who have declined to
contribute to the support of the Eiate
Temperance union are no other than
Governor E N. Morrill, and Ex-Governor
George 7. Anthony who is now at the
head of the state department of insur-
ance; and these are the only two, strange
to say.
When the financial agent of the State
Temperance union went through the
state house not long ago and solicited
contributions toward the support of the
work in which he is interested. he met
with a cordial reception everywhere, but
in the governors Office and in the insur-
ance department
Governor Morrill, is the first chief
executive Kansas has had in late years
who has not contributed literally towards
the temperance union, but he has posi-
lively declined to either put up one cent
or one dollar, and furthermore has de-
clined to allow the use of his name on
the subscription paper for the influence
it might exert.
When the temperance union agent
visited the insurance department Elk
Governor Anthony received him with a
emile, but when the wants of the repre-
ment were made known the atmosphere
began to grow cold and with his custom
airy dignity the ex- GOV eruor informed the
visitor that the Temperance union was
not doing what it ought TO do. He said,
You are going at this work at the
wrong end. There is too much talk
about law enforcement and not enough
real temperance work done in the way
of educating the children. Let the law
alone and educate the children in tenn
perance habits"
After listening for about five minutes
the agent of the temperance union with
drew.
few days later he went back to try
his powers of persuasion once more on
the superintendent of insurance. Gov
ernor Anthony began again to scold the
temperance union.
"Mr. Anthony I will soon begin to
think you are not very good friend of
temperance" suggested the financial
agent of the union in as mild a manner
as he could command.
1t ia related that Mr.. Anthony lost his
temper and stormed. He stormed so
loud and so strong that the temperance
union agent could not remember much
that was said, except that the head of the
department showed him the door and
ordered him out of his office.
