Telephone Exchange MOVES.

The telephone exchange will move into
the third story of the building they now
occupy. Increase of business has made
it necessary for them to obtain new quar-
ters. The large front room has been re-
papered and today a new switchboard is
being moved in. There will be an ac-
commodation for 100 more subscribers,
making a total of 800. The old board will
be repaired and sent to Leavenworth. A
room has been especially fitted up for the
use of the hello girls as a lunch room.
Last week the exchange at Butler, No.

delivered by John R. Mulvane at his

Ter through a large transmitter. There
was also a phonograph concert given by
George Bayless over the wire from To-
peka to the Missouri audience.

FORAKERMAKES ATHREAT
He is in Bad Humor on Account of
Political Gossip.

Columbus, o., Nov. S.-A special to the
Ohio State Journal from Cincinnati says:
1t was reported in local political circles
that Charles L Kurtz had quietly slipped
into the city and was in close conference
with Senator Foraker on the absorbing
senatorial question. The report had it
that the senator and Kurtz had carefully
surveyed the situation and had reached
an understanding unfavorable to Mr..
Hanna. Senator Foraker was seen by
the State Journal correspondent and ask
ed about the alleged meeting with Kurtz
I regard your inquiry as very imper-
tinent," replied that senator land fur
ther, as to our reported meeting, that's
none of your business" 1t was evident
that the senator had misunderstood the
motive of the inquiry, and he was assured
that no discOurtesy was intended, but as
the matter had been talked of, the State
Journal was desirous of confirming or
fatty denying the stories. After this ex-
PLANTATION, Senator Foraker said he had
not seen Mr.. Kurtz for over week.
The broaching of the subject gave the
senator an opportunity to vent his feel
ings about the senatorship. He said: Il
am becoming tired of having my name
dragged into every little controversy over
the senatorial question. I worked faith
fully in the last campaign, and if the ma
jOrities were not larger it was no fault of
mine. do not expect to take part in
the affair, but unless my name is kept
out of the whole thing l shall go into it
and make certain people know l am
around. The Republican party will set
tie this matter to its satisfaction and
without the dictation of outside par
ties

WAGES ARE LOWERED.
Cotton Manufacturers Decide on a
General Reduction of Wages.

Fail River. Mass. Nov. sit is an
nounced here that all but one or possibly
two, cotton manufacturing corpora tions
have signed an agreement to abide by
the recommendation of a special commit
tee of the Manufacturers association
which has been appointed to take some
steps for improvement in the condition of
the local cotton industry. 1t is expected
that shutdown or a decided reduction
of wages will be advised.
Some manufacturers are opposed to a
shutdown, urging that it will not improve
affairs. They point out that Fall River
no longer controls the markets and that
it would simply allow mills in other states
to meet the improved demand by running
overtime. This is particularly possible
in the south. and the only remedy is be-
lieved to be in securing a national law
governing hours of labor.
Some of the advocates of a cut down
who are represented on the committee
favor a cut, beginning with the treasurer,
and which will probably apply to every
emplOye.

IT WILL COST $4,000
To Complete the Interior of the Dome
of the State House.

About $500 will be expended by the
executive council in completing the
state house dome and the work will be-
gin as soon as the contracts can be
drawn up and the bonds OF the success
full bidders filed with the secretary of
state.
The most important part of the work
will be the removal of the unsightly
scaffolding which has abstructed the
interior view of the dome for many
years. The structure has become un-
safe and is really regarded as being in
a dangerous condition.
The contracts which have been let by
the executive council will complete the
dome to the second or main floor. This
includes iron ratings around the gal
lerieS of the dome; marble WainScOt-
ing, and other improvements.
The money which will be expended
will be distributed in Topeka, as TOpe-
ka. bidders secured all the contracts, as
follows:
Louis Van Dorp, iron and copper
work, S13, 500.
H c. Gruber, arcade walk, brick, ma

Gil expects to see the work in progress

WANT wHELDoN RELEASED.
Efforts of Emporia Citizens Along
That Line Unavailing.

Ben Wheldon of Emporia, one of the
most prominent citizens of that city,
viii be compelled to serve a so days
term in Jail for Violating the prohibitory
law, as Gov. Leedy has refused to inter
fere and grant him a pardon.
WheldOn for years has been one of
the most prominent men in Lyon cOun-
ty. He was a druggist, and as such
was convicted of violating the prOhib-
itory law, sentenced to pay a fine of
5000 and to serve so days in jail The
case was appealed to the supreme court
where the sentence was affirmed, and
Judge Randolph Immediately issued
commitment for WheldOn, who is vis
iting in an adjoining state. Pending his
return, influential citizens of Emporia,
irrespective of party, petitioned the
governor to pardon the defendant from
the Jail sentence. This the governor re-
fuses to do, and, standing by his decla-
ration at the temperance mass meeting
in this city last summer, declines to in
teFfere with the enforcement OF the
law.

FIRE IN THE OPERA HOUSE
Flames Break Out During a Matinee
but There is No Panic.

During the matinee performance of
the Paiges at the Crawford theater Sat
urday afternoon, fire broke out under
the floor of a vacant room in the rear
of the balcony, and in q few minutes
the auditorium was filled with smoke.
The house was crowded en- the first
floor with women and children at the
time, but after the first furry of excite
ment occasioned by the smoke and
smell of burning wood, the audience
quietly left the opera house. There was
nothing like q panic and no one was
injured in the least
Chief Wnmarth attributes the fire to
mice and matches. w hen the firemeu
arrived the flames were blowing along
under the floor and between the partf-
ton wall of the balcony, but by prompt
action in getting the chemical hose in
play, the spread was quickly checked
and the fire soon extinEuished.
The damage done by the fire is slight

Leidigh Gets the Salary Anyway.

The supreme court has refused to
near an application for an injunction
brought by George S. Lawrence of Ford
county to prevent J. K Leidigh from
collecting his salary as county clerk
Ihis Is the case which came up to the
supreme court as result of the cleo
ton one year ago. Leidigh was appar-
emily elected county clerk and took
charge of the office. Lawrence contest
ed, alleging that the soldiers at the
state nome had no right to vote, a con-
tent1on which the supreme court sus-
tanned. Lawrence thereby secures the
office, and also wanted to secure the
salary which Leidigh had already
draWn He made application for the
injunction specified, but the court re-
fused to hear it, holding that injunc-
ton does not lie in the case of de facto
officers.
