said Jim awkwardly, standing on one
foot and trying with might and main to
deliver correctly the polite message Lis
beth had sent. "She thought p 'raps your
Sunday clothes hadn't come yet, and she
asked father to send these up to you, II
you'd like to wear them to meeting"
"Tell your sister she's a regular
trump. It was awfully good Of her, aw-
fully good. Tell her she's the queen Of
hearts, or whatever you think she'd
like" he ended, suddenly wondering if
cards were approved in this Now Eng
land family.
1t did not take him long to nut on his
new clothes. They made him laugh at
himself in spite Of all good intentions.
But that did not matter. The clothes
answered very we'll, and be hurried
down to the dining room to find the
family all at the table. On seeing him
'Lisbeth blushed aud Mr.. Higgins reared
out great haw-haw Of compliment and
fun, and the children and Mrs. Higgins
admired and complimented, till Alec
blushed decidedly more than 'Lisbeth.
He expressed bis thanks as we'll as he
could to Nv Higgins and 'Lisbeth.
At 10 O'Clock Alec saw the old sexton
with his shiny head come across from
his house, and, opening the church with
q big key, proceed to ring the bell. 1t
was not jrst the kind Of bell ringing
Alec was used to in the city. but it was
done with method just the same. The
rope hung down into the vestibule Of
the church, and Alec could see the old
sexton tuse ing away at it directly in
front Of thu open door. He gave great
pull, and then seemed nearly carried of
his feet on the return. The sweat pour
cd down his face, and Alec thought
with a larsh that his collar must be
pretty we'll vilted. But on looking again
he saw the old sections collar and neck
tie on the floor beside him, a somewhat
homogeneous picture for church door
on Sunday morning.
Soon the people began to come. First
a hulking lung man, uncomfortable in
his stiff nday suit, bis white collar
rapidly m ltiny, slouched up apollo
getically and stood waiting on the cor

ner Of the great stone steps before the
church, full in the broiling sun. He
stood there for nearly half an hour. and
Alec wondered. Girls in pairs came,
rather light and dainty in their muslin
frocks, and disappeared into the cool
church out Of the heat. Perhaps it was
their presence within that kept the
young man without Or he may have
had an interest in the farmer wagons
that drove up, each with whole family
on board. The agile but rather dowdily
dressed girl jumped lightly out on one
side, while her old father, with a long
beard under his chin, alighted on the
church steps on the other side, and pro-
ceeded first to lift out the little ones,
and then from the back seat his sub
stantial, matronly wife. For moment
the family made 4 picturesque group on
the church steps ~ they consulted to-
gether. Then the man went with the
horse and wagon to the sheds in the
rear, and the women and children ell
tered the church.
Soon the young man on the church
steps had companions, and the first fam
lily was followed by score Of others.
At last the Higginses, all dressed out
spiok and span, appeared on the piazza,
Papa Joe, as Alec nicknamed him,
bringing up the rear, while 'Lisbeth
hurried past the others in order to be
in her place in the choir in time. Mrs.
Higgins gave Alec formal invitation
to a place in their pew, and Alec &C.
oepted and followed close behind her,
with the children on each side Of him,
evidently proud Of his company. They
felt that there was something distin-
gushing about 1t, and Alec was pleased.
They found q thick crowd Ia the en-
try before the inner door. and Alec was
obliged to elbow himself In rather
roughly, while everybody stared coldly
at him. That stony stare made him
most uncomfortable, but the Higginses
seemed to take 1t as natural enough,
and gave him what relief they could by
hurrying to their pew, though most Of
the audience were still crowded about
the door.
But soon the preacher came, o bent,
but digniHed old man, with sadly SOL
emn face, in which, however. goodness
shone, and as he made his way to the
pulpit the company about the door dis
persed to their seats, and soon all was
quiet and solemn for few minutes BE-
fore the little organ in the loft at the
rear, back Of the choir, wheezed forth

GRIGGS' NAME PUT BACK.
City Central Committee Decides That
the Voters Chose Him,

AT the meeting of the city central
committee last night it was decided
the name of P. w. Griggs should an
pear on the Republican ticket as a can
didate for member of the school board
from the Fifth ward instead of that
of Mrs. r. B. Steele. The Committees
was unanimous in arriving at this con-
clusion.
For over an hour after the meeting
was called to order last night the com
mlttee was treated to an exhaustive
dissertation on the legal technicalities
involved in the case by Judge J. T.
Carver and Attorneys J. B. Iarimer A
B. Quinton and E. G. Wilson Ali of
the legal gentlemen held that it mat
tered not how the name of p w Griggs
was placed on the ticket whether in
conformity with the rules of the COM
n1ttee or by any other means, it was
a fact that his name had appeared on
the ticket. that the people had voted
for him and that they declared him
to be their choice for member of the
school board by a majority of 119 votes
Also, that the city central committee
could do no more than act as an add
ing machine, and declare the person
who received the largest number of
votes to be the nominee At the pri-
mary election Mr.. Griggs received 45S
votes and Mrs. Steele 339 votes.
Mrs. Lucia o. Case was at the meet
ing on the part of Mrs. Steele, but she
declined to enter into an argument
against the formidable array of legal
talent there on behalf of Mr.. Griggs,
and simply stated that in her opinion
it was simply a question of whether
not the resolution adopted by the
former committee, declaring Mrs Steele
to be the nominee, should stand.
When the lawyers ceased their ar
guments several members of the COM
mittee expressed themselves on the
matter. all holding that it was the duty
of the committee to declare Mr.. Griggs
the nominee, as his name had been
voted upon at the primaries and he had
received the majority of the votes cast.
On motion of A. B. Quinton the ac-
ton of the former committee in adopt
ing the resolution declaring Mrs. Steele
to be the nominee was recOnSidered,
and that question voted down. A mo-
ton to declare Mr. GriggS the nominee
was then put, and carried unanimously.
The city clerk will be notified by the
secretary of the committee that the
name of Mrs. Steele was certified to err
roneously by the former committee,
and the name of P. w. Griggs will be
substituted the certificate.
At last nights meeting a protest was
presented signed by 119 voters of the
Fifth ward protesting against the ac-
ton of the committee in certifying to
the nomination of Mrs. Steele.

SHOPS TO NEWTON.
Mr.. Ripley Says it is Business and an
Economical Move

Hutchinson, March 25.-"It has been
decided to consolidate divisions and the
Nickerson shops will be moved to New
tom
That was the frank. straightforward
statement made by President Ripley of
the Santa F'e here yesterday.
The committee of the Hutchinson
Commercial club had asked to be heard
in protest against the proposed remov-
al of the division from Reno county.
Mr.. Ripley received the committee and
also delegations from Nickerson bust
ness men and railway employees. He
met each delegation with the plain
sta tement above given and added in
conversation that the change was
agreed upon about February 1st.
Mr.. Ripley listened pleasantly. but
his square jaw never dropped. This is
a matter of business and not senti-
nent," he said. We can save money
by having two divisions instead of
three and we are going to do it,
The primary effect of the change will
be a direct loss to 125 railroad employees
who have homes in Nickerson, which
must be abandoned. Newton has prom
ised to give these people lots on which
to put houses and the road will haul
the buildings to Newton when it is pos

The Citizens Ticket .

This committee in charge of the citi
zens' ticket is making an energetic
campaign. Mr.. J. 3. Billiard, the can
didate for mayor, is one of the most
successful business men in the city and
one of the Oldest residents in Shawnee
county. He is a man of unimpeach-
able integrity and is receiving many
assurances of support. r. B. Gathers
has consented to run for councilman in
the Second ward.
The following address. issued by our
committee, has been generally circu-
lated throughout the city:
ITO THE VOTERS OF Topeka.
You have an opportunity now to
vote for your own interest, instead OF
the interest of a political organization
that proposes to do nothing for the tax
ridden people of this city.
I'm this election we have a chance
to vote for the city of Topeka. To vote
to re-elect the present administration is
to indorse increased taxation; is to in
dorse losing the water works case in
the district court, and is to indorse set
thing the sewer case at $4,000, when it
could have been beaten in a vigorous
contest or settled for $35,000-
Again, the water works question
must be taken up soon if the city is
to obtain title by the time the fran
chise expires These works are now
bonded for about 100000, or at least
three times what they are worth. The
bonds are not due until long after the
franchise expires. The people are ent1-
tied to more reasonable water rates;
the suburbs are entitled to water serV-
ice: North Topeka is entitled to such
service as will give it some ade-
quate fire protection. instead of rely
ing upon a small pipe across the bridge.
These things can only be secured by
city ownership. If you want to br1ng
them about. vote the Citizens ticket
That ticket stands on a platform that
means something.
This ticket also recognizes that most
of the children in the Topeka schoolS
are girls, and that these girls ought TO
have some of a mothers care in the
board of education. The 'Cltlzens
ticket if successful, will place upon
the board some of the best women in
the city.
ITO vote you must register before
Friday night. Have your wife, sister
and aunt register"

Chairman Campaign Committee.

WHEAT-Trading in wheat was fully as
stagnant this morning as it was yester-
day, no trades of any consequence being
recorded during the first hour. Lower
cables and disappointment in regard to
the foreign demand produced an easy
feeling for a time May opened at 725s

days closing price of 72A a 20 cents.
Northwest receipts were liberal Minneapo-
lis and Duluth reporting 313 cars against
POS last week and 476 on the corresponding
day a year ago. Crop damage reports
were present in the usual numbers and
perhaps of a more gloomy cast. This fact
steadied the market and when Duluth re-
ported 900 bushels for export, yester-
days prices advanced May was sell
ling a 20 cents at the end of the first
hours trading.
CORN-Was very quiet with prices cas-
Ter with wheat. Local receipts were light
70 cars. May opened a shade lower at 241s
q PAS cents and held steady at 24l2
OATS-Tra ding in oats was practically
at a standstill. The opening for the May
option was unchanged at 171s q IN cents
and no change was recorded during the
first hour. Local receipts amounted to 50

though some animation was displayed by
pork. Prices were firm the light hog
