j. C. KYLE'S MONEY.
1t Has a ReV1vifying Effect on All
Kinds of Family Ties.

Every few days some man is heard
from who thinks he can esta blish claim
to the estate of the late J. G. Kyle, who
willed all his property to his friends and
various charitable institutions before he
died
The latest aspirant for honors of this
kind is j. w. Kyle of Waukesha, Wis,
who has written to Mayor Webster Davis
of Kansas City, asking about ]. C. Kyle,
who, he said, died recently in Kansas
City.
The Wisconsin man said he though ].
c. Kyle was his father, who disappeared
from Waukesha about fifteen years ago.
and has not been heard from since.
Attorney ]. g. Slonecker, who is look
ing after the Kyle estate. says he has
learned enough about the history of the
late ]. c. Kyle to assure him there can
be no legal claimants to the estate and
that the will made just before his death
will stand.
1t has been learned that Mr.. Kyle
came to Topeka from Parkersburg. West

MUST NOT BE TOO EARLY
President Davis of the Topeka Com
merciaI Club
SAYS THE PROPOSED FALL FESTIVAL

Should Not BE Given Before the Hot
Period is Over-FulI OF EnthusIa snn
for the Commercial Club.
President w. Fl. Davis of the Com
mercial club apparently belongs to the
wide awake business men and he will do
his share toward making the club sue
cess
Like other business men in the city
Mr.. Davis is anxious to use the club to
insure the success of the fall festival and
if the Commercial club of Topeka can
make the festival a success it means that
the good which will come to the city
through the organization is without limit.
81 am anxious to see the festival made
a success" said President Davis. 81 see
ne reason why Topeka may not have a
very successful week. The people must
go some place and if we can induce them
to come here we are the gamers. l am
satisfied they will come, if we give them
the opportunity.
There is one thing, however, which
should not be overlooked The date
must not be fixed too early and the plan
to have the festival early in Septem Der is
not a good one. September is a very
disagreeable month 1t is nearly
always very hot and dusty and
people would be tired and worn out
when they got ready to go home and
their impression of the city would not be
the best in the world. Topeka must ap-
pear under the most favorable conditions,
and that can be assured later in the sea-
son. My idea is that the date should be
fixed for some time in October. That is
one of our best months, and though the
evenings are sometimes a little cool,
still l think it is better than extremely
warm weather.
al think that Our faativitiaa sho1l6 Ia
held after those in other surrounding
cities, If necessary, and / see no reason
why we should not have a crowd j ust the
same"
Mr. Davis thinks that the club must
steer clear of all real estate schemes or
the furtherance of private booms of any
kind.
Everything possible must be done to
help the city. for that is why the club
was organized, but we cannot be too
careful" said he. SIT is my opinion
that the organization should not sub
scribe stock to anything. 1t is all right,
of course, to encourage enterprises, but
l think we should look after men with
resources rather than those who
to be put into buildings
which will afterward be allowed to go to
ruin or burn down. That has beeu the
experience of the past and it will serve
as a warning.
"We can not now do all we would like
to and the progress of our organization
must necessarily be rather slow, but l
believe that the business men of the
city are interested in it and 1 also believe
that we would have no trouble in secur-
ing 100 members. We must get rooms
soon, but we can have nothing elaborate.
We want some place where we can in
vite our visitors to entertain them. I see
no reason why the club should not be
successful"

The Pet Dog Craze.

Among occasional objects of ones
pity are the little pet dogs which elder
ly ladies, who are generally clad in rich
black silk, cuddle in their arms, in
doors and out of doors, through the
livelong day. At a certain Brighton
hotel 1 counted no less than seven of
these little curly-haired animals
clutched to seven capacious bosoms.
Some visitors, it is well known, object
to dogs in a hotel, and consequently
a prohibitive price is put upon their adj
mittance. The charge is sometimes as
high as one guinea per d&y.-St. James
Budget.

PASSES ON THE FLYER.
They VIII BE HonOred on and After Feb
ruary I.

Ahey w HI BE II on Or&d on and After Feb
ruary L.
An order has been issued by General
Manager Frey of the Santa Fe to the eff
feet that after February 1 passes of all
kinds and tickets of all classes will be
honored on westbound California limited
train No 3 between Chicago and Kan
sas City, and on eastbound Chicago linn
tied train No. between Newton and
Chicago.
Since the Inauguration of limited
trains and 4 on October 90. 1895, only
first class paid tickets were hon
ored, free transportation being en-
tirely excluded. Under the new
order persons holding passes can ride
on No. from Chicago to Kansas City,
but will then be compelled to take one of
the regular passenger trains west. On
No. 4 passes will carry the holders
east from Newton, at which point the
Denver sleeper of train No. 6 will be at
tached to the train.
This change is the result of the discon-
tinuance of trains and between Chi
cago and Kansas City, leaving trains
and 4 as the only through night trains on
the Santa Fe between these points.

representatives and prominent as pres
idential probability, has announced him
self an ardent advocate of woman suf-

Reed taken up the cause of the new
woman, and he has given expression to
views which will undoubtedly be stero-

no doubt, soon make an addition to this
maxim saying, "And Tom Reed will be
her president"

A Now Set to Be Presented TO the bar NeAS
Week.
The Kansas supreme court has adopted
a new set of rules which will be given
to the bar at the regular session of court
next week.
One rule of interest to the general
public is that hereafter the supreme
court will not be in session to hear argu-
ments during the months of August ana
September. The court has always adj
journed during the month of August but
the Judges have come to the conclusion
that by doing more work at the July sit
ting of court they can do as much BUSH
ness in year by adjourning over to
October. September is always a hot
month and the lawyers are seldom ready
to try their cases.
Hereafter attorneys will be allowed
only fifteen minutes to argue motions
