MRS. ACKLAN GOT AWAY.
She Left Town Yesterday for
New York.
MOURNING CREDITORS BEHIND

ONE OF HER LAWYERS ENTERED
SUIT IN SUPERIOR COURT YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON-THERE
ARE OTHERS WHO HAVE CLAIMS
AGAINST HER.
Mrs. Laura Crocker Aoklan left
town yesterday morning. 1t may be
for a week. or 1t may be for ever. AL
all events she got out OF this Jurisdic-
tion before Sheriff Finn could get SER
vice on her in the 5000 suit instituted
by Josiah Marvel one OF her attorneys
in the divorce case before the Delaware
Legislature. Mr.. Marvel is not the only
person in town who would like to see
her, for there are several others who
feel that she has not compensated them
as she should for their services in her
behalf.
Mrs Acklan told the Divorce Gem
mittee ,hat she proposed to live here
indefinitely and she has done il. But
the members who voted for her bill had
no idea that in her lexicon the word
indefinitely" meant three weeks
Mrs. Crocker, her mother, left town
about two weeks ago. Mrs. Ack.an re-
manned at the Gables. at Delaware ave-
nue. and Tenth street. To relieve her
loneliness she got a friend Of hers, Miss
Armstrong, Of Washington to come up
and spend a week with her. This
friend left town on Tuesday, and, a Is
said, took nearly all OF Mrs. Acklan's
personal effects away IN her trunks.
Mrs.Acklan left town yesterday morn
ing, announcing that she would go 10
New York and begin her Summer vaca-
ton. She got safely outside the juris-
diction before the suit against her could
be begun and service obtained. II Is
believed that she took this step In order
to be In position to dictate terms ia
those having claims against her
Mr.. Marvel and William Michael
Byrne, his attorney, were seen by an
Evening Journal reporter this morning
but would say nothing for publication

she would be back ne could not say
The understanding was that she wOult

II is generally believed that she hal
left for Europe. At all events, the Gen

taken a recess, but her lawyers are still
In session.

In this condition he walked into the
district court room. Standing in front
of the spectators seats, and in full
view of the court, he held the broom in
front of him and stared steadily at the
judge. One of the lawyers was talk
ing to the jury, and he mentioned the
fact that Red Irwin was there to be
tried for stealing saws from the Santa

Careless Partisan Figures.

Municipal elections were held in Kan
sas towns of the first and second-class
yesterday. While nearly half the cities
went Republican, they did so by great
" reduced majOrities in almost every
instance. Topeka, the Republican
stronghold, gave the Republican ticket
a majority of 500 against s coo major
Ity for Mckinley last faII.-Kansas City
Times
Not so fast. Topeka last fall only
gave Mckinley a majority Of 1900, so
there mas been distinct gain, although
party hnes were not drawn to any great
extent. If the fun vote had been got
ten out, however, it is probable the Re
publican ticket would have had nearly
its old time majority of 5000. The
Times ought to be more particular if it
doesn't want to be laughed at.

THAT "THIRD HOUSE"
Even the Bills the Legislature Did
Pass We're Botched or Tempered
With

Senator Fl. w. Young, member of
the last legislature and editor of the
Independence Star and Kansan, ques-
tions the methods by which Senator
Lewelling secured an increase of 81, 900
in the contingent fund set apart by the
legislature for the state board of rail-
road commissioners.
In the current issue of his paper Sen
atOr Young says editOrially:
ct would like to know what evidence
the Lantern has that Lewelling did
anything of the kind The item in the
bill as it passed the house gave the
commissioners 1000 a year, the same
as they had before, for a contingent
fund. The senate amendment made
the amount 81, 600 a year When the
bill was considered in conference COM
mittee I know that the senate receded
from its amendments and made the
figures 81, 900 again. And yet when the
bill came to be published the figure
had got to s., ,000 Somebody, of course,
got in some fine work and raised the
sent of either house I don't believe
LeweIling did it, but I should like to
know who did,
Senator Youngs assertion brings to
light another bill which was ''tamper-
ed" with after leaving the possession of
the legislature and passing into the
hands of the supposedly trustworthy
employees. However, it seems that in
the prOmiScuOus payment of political
debts and in the redemption of cam
paign promises the public service must
suffer.
And this is the legislature Governor
Leedy is being urged to bring back!

ARE THEY SHIPPED IN?
Still Another Insane Pauper Found
This Time a Woman.

At noon today the sheriff's Office re-
ceived a telephone message from the
brickyards west of the city that an in
sane woman was roaming about in that
neighbOrhOod, and that she was not an
escaped inmate of the Topeka asylum.
Deputy Larry Sheehan answered the
call, and at a house short distance
this side of the bric1yard found an old
woman 65 years of age, who gave her
name as Mrs. Hattie Topping. He
brought her to the county Jail and she
will be tried for insanity at o'clock this
afternoon.
Mrs. Topping is not at all violent, but
is evidently insane. She first stated
but later said that she arrived from
Kansas City yesterday afternoon and
started to take a stroll in the country
to look for work this morning. At one
time she informed the officers that she
had relatives in Rich Hill, No, but a
few minutes afterwards said she never
had any relatives and never wanted
any When taken to the county Jail
she had a bundle of luggage with her
wrapped up in a shawl.
When placed in the Woman's ward in
the Jail Mrs. Topping asked for a pipe
and some tobacco, and when this was
handed her by one of the cOlored pris-
oners she sat down in a corner and
enjoyed a smoke. She later secured a
piece of plug tobacco and masticated
that to her evident relish
