A LEG IN BOILING WATER.
Painful Accident to a Young Man at
the Santa Fe Shops.

John Freibott, a helper employed in the
boiler department of the Santa Fe shops,
caused considerable excitement at the
shops yesterday by falling into a pit con-
tanning several feet of boiling water. The
boys left leg went into the water nearly
TO the knee, and in places the flesh was
literally cooked and the skin came away
with his clothing.
The pit was covered with loose boards,
and in walking over it Freibott dislodged
one of the boards and fell with one leg
extending into the pit. The water in
the pit had been used in washing out a
boiler and was at boiling heat and Frei-
bots screams of pain as his leg went into
the sealding water were heard all over
the department. Several men ran to his
assistance at once and rescued him from
his position.
Freibott was taken to the Santa Fe hos
pital and his injuries dressed. He will
be unable to work for several weeks.

low Pullman and George.

Columbus, O., Oct. 3O.-Mr. Hanna's
friends have been considerably alarm
ed about his physical condition this
week. The campaign is wearing on
him. Since Monday he has undergone
a. serious strain.
Monday night he went out five miles
into the suburbs of Cleveland and
spoke in a tent. At that time he was
far from we'll. The next morning he
started out early and filled two ap
pOintments. At one of them he spoke
over an hour. The day following he
made five speeches. Yesterday he had
a very hard day in Cincinnati includ-
ing a reception at his hotel visit on
change and a monster mass meeting
at night. At noon today Mr.. Hanna ar
rived in Columbus and remained a
short time. He was looking tired, but
in no mind to give up campaigning. The
coming of Bryan has filled the senator
full of fight. He feels sure of the state,
and his aim now is to make the victory
as decisive as possible.

U. P. SALE TO STOP.
Restraining Order to Be Issued
This Afternoon.

St. Louis. Oct. 3O-A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Omaha, Neb. says:
Judge Sanborn at st. Paul will this
afternoon probably grant an order re-
straining the sale of the Union Pacific
railway. It is here that the interfer-
ence comes from the Sage syndicate
and the petition will be based on the
declaration that if the sale is postponed
the government can recover a premium
on its claim. Judge Kelly, general at
tOrney for the Union Pacific left hur-
riedly for St. Paul last night to oppose
the motion"
st. Paul, Oct. 3O-Up to o'clock this
afternoon Judge Sanborn had no
knowledge of any application for an
injunction to prevent the sale of the
u p at Omaha on Monday. When asked
about it by an Associated Press repre-
sentative he said he thought there
could be no truth in the story as he had

HALLOWEEN HOODLUMIsM.

Halloween pranl1s have long since
ceased to be amusing or permissible. The
tearing up of sidewalks, upsetting
buildings, smashing signs and other
acts of hoodlumism are not funny, and
cannot be tortured into anything re-
sembling humor.
Topeka is too large a town to allow
this vandalism and destruction of prop
erty. An example should be made of
all those who engage in it. The police
should be prepared and if necessary
augmented in number tonight and ar
rests should be made by the wholesale.
It needs a jailfuI or two of hoodIums to
stop the Halloween destruction. Parties
of young men found prowIing around
by the police after 10 o'clock should be
warned to go home. It will be neces-
sary for police to be stationed all over
the residence part of town and some or
all of them should be mounted.

Man Bitten by Supposed Rabid Dog
Will Try Witchcraft.

John Zirkle, a son of Juryman w. A.

to Kansas City yesterday supposed to
be in danger of hydrophobia from the
bite of a mad dog. He was taken to
Kansas City to have a mad stone ap-

Zirkle lives on a farm near Richland.
Yesterday he noticed that a small dog
which belonged to the family was act

thing and was frOthing at the mouth.
Zirkle concluded that he would tie the
animal and await developments.
He got a chain and caught the ami

The time hOnored Halloween in To-

city no vandalism is practiCed under
the guise of Halloween fun. And this
is not all. Street Commissioner Ram
sey will have the city street force and
also several extra men stationed all
over the city to prevent the destruction
of city property.
The Topeka Railway company has
engaged the services of a large force Of
men to guard their lines especially in
the suburbs. In past years terrible ac-
cidentS have been narrowly aVerted on
the car lines on Halloween nights when
some malicious persons placed Obstruc-
tiOnS on the tracks at dangerous points
Chief Steele today made the following
official statement in regard to the po-
lice regulations for tonight: L VIII

CAN'T VOTE.
Veterans at Soldiers Homes
Must Cast Their Ballots
At the Places From Which
They Come.
NOT AT THE HOMES.
Supreme Court Makes This De-
cisiOn Unanimously
In Accordance With PrOvis-
ion of the Constitution.

The supreme court, in an unanimous
opinion, written by Chief Justice Frank
DOster, handed down at o'clock yes
terday afternoon, has decided that in
mates of the state soldiers home at
Dodge City, have no right to vote at
elections held in Ford county.
By this decision J. H. Leidigh, Repub-
ican, is Ousted from the office of coun-
ty clerk, and his Populist opponent, C.
H. Lawrence. declared elected.
At the election last fall, almost one
year ago, Leidigh received a small ma
jOrity. He took possession of the office
but Lawrence contested through quo
warranto proceedings, alleging that the
majority of u recorded for his political
adversary was due to the 20 votes cast
by the inmates of the soldiers home,
which voting he claimed was illegal.
The case came to the supreme court
on an agreed statement of facts, and
the contention of Lawrence was sus-
tanned.
The syllabus of the opinion says:
"SestiOn g. article 5,of the constitution,
disabIes persons kept at any asylum at
public expense from acquiring a resi-
dence there for voting purposes; there
fore the inmates of the state soldiers
home, located in Ford county, who have
state, are disqualified from participat-
ing in the elections held in such cOun-
ty"
The court holds that the soldiers
home is an asylum, within the meaning
of section 3, article 5, of the cOnStitu-
tion, and that the plan of living as fam
lilies, instead of cOmmutual nor any
other departure from the ordinary
method of conducting such an institu-
ton, changes its nature. The opinion
says:
THE eleemosenary character of the
home is fixed in its benevolent design,
not in the measure of control exercised
over its inmates, nor in the method of
therefore no question but that a home
for the INDECENT veterans of the wars,
such as the one established in this state
is an asylum as that word is used in
the constitution.
The court also holds that inmates of
a home or asylum do not lose the right
to vote at their original home no diff
ference how prolonged may be the alb
sence or how fixed may be the deter
minatiOn to abandon it.
The law which is sustained by this
decision was passed by the legislature
of 1898. 1t was prepared, introduced
and pushed through by Mike Sutton, at
present internal revenue collector for
Kansas. Mr.. Sutton is an old soldier
and the bill was passed by a legislature
containing a majority of old soldiers.
Inmates of the national military home
at LeavenWOrth are debarred from vot-
ing in LeavenwOrth county, but are
permitted to go home to vote, under the
rules of the institution. The decision
of the Kansas court applies to that in
stitution as well as the state home at
Dodge City
The decision was handed down out
of the regular order by the court to en-
able Ford county people to proceed le-
gally with the election next week.

COMPELLED TO MOVE.
However, Are Now in Better Position
Than Ever TO Care for Their
Friends and Patrons.

Everybody likes to be we'll cared for.
To please the people you must furnish
them with good entertainment, give
them a good resting place and above all
feed them we'll That's where they like
a little extra touch. That is, they want
plenty of good wholesome food served
with care and neatness.
In the above respects, Topeka people
are extremely fortunate; especially is
this true of the eating portion of the
programme.
For several years the popular Crem-
erie restaurant in this city has been
under the management of Scott &
Scott. Up to a few days ago this rest
aurant has been located at the corner
of Eighth and Kansas avenues, but by
reason of another party securing
lease on the old room, the proprietors
were compelled to move. Much to the
satisfaction of their customers and
themselves, they were able to secure
possession of the new building recently
put up by Eugene Jewell at 726 Kansas
avenue, just four doors north of the old
location. The former room is now clos
ed up.
In their new location Scott & Scott
are spending considerable money put
ting in new fixtures, adding additional
space to the lunch and dining rooms,
etc. All in all they now have the most
attractive restaurant Topeka has seen.
1t is very ratifying to know that when
you go into a restaurant you can get
anything the market affords. This
qualification you always enjoy at the
Cremerie. Their menu is an excellent
one. They serve oysters on the half
shell, or in any style desired, all kinds
of game in season, etc.
Aside from the regular bill of fare,
the Cremerie makes a speciality of Ger
man pancakes, Omelet souff1e, corned
beef hash, Welch rarebit and pork
tenderloin, stuffed with oysters.
OF course, Topeka people know well
the splendid reputation the Cremerie
has in this city, but to those who sell
dom patronize a restaurant it will be
treat to merely give the Cremerie
call to see what a great improvement
has been made over the old place. Their
walters and cooks are simply the best
to be obtained, consequently only first
class treatment and service could be
expected from them.
The courteous proprietors of the
Cremerie Messrs. Irving and Clarence
Scott, have the best wishes of their
many friends for success in their new
location. AS caterers to the public
taste and demands. they mean to fos-
ter and excel a good reputation aAready
established.

It took a jury in the district court seven
minutes to decide that w. P. Leinard is
not entitled to damages for false arrest.
Leinard was arrested a year ago while
travelling around the country with women
of bad reputation. He was charged by
z. Reser a wealthy RossviIIe farmer, with
burglarizing his barn. Reser failed to
make a case and Leinard was discharged.
He then brought suit for $4,000 damages.
Reser proved that Leinard was engaged
in business of a questionable nature and
the jury thought he was not entitled to
damages and returned a verdict for the
defendant.

Mr.. Cochran then went on to say that
the fight was for the security of prop
erty and the prosperity of industry,
begun last year, and on again. He de-
clared that national issues could not be
excluded from this campaign and said:

A WIDE DIFFERENCE.
Farming Apparently Not an Exact
SCIENCE.

Justice Guy is still wrestling with the
spiked keg of beer. Not literally with
the beer but with the case that grew
out of the fact that John Sedgwtck in
vited some of his Dover friends in to
drink the beer. Sedgwick rents a farm
from Mrs. Molly Stevenson and lives in
a part of her house and shares the
crops with her as rent. Mrs. Stevenson
objected to the drinking and served
three days notice on Sedgwick to va
cate the property on the statutory
charge of wasting the crops. She also
objects to having spiked beer on the
premises. She cited in the complaint
that the hedge had not been trimmed,
the horses had been cruelty treated, the
sorghum had not been cut and that
Sedgwfck had carried away two wagon
loads of apples from the orchard.
Several farmers were called as wit
nesses but they could not agree on the
different questions. Some said sorg-
hum should be cut as soon as it was
ripe. other said it should be allowed to
dry Some said good farmers trimmed
their hedges and another said that
farmers should not waste their time
trimming hedges. Some said that
horses had been cruelty treated, others
said they had not. Some agreed that
it was all right to drink beer, others
said it was not. Nobody seemed to be-
IieVe that beer spiked with alcohol was
good to drink. however.
w. r. Hazen appeared for Sedgwick
and Captain Waters for Mrs. Steven
son. Judge Hazen claimed that not
cutting crops at the proper time was
not considered waste and that if the
crops had been allowed to suffer it was
the same as not paying rent and that
ten days notice should have been serv-
ed Captain Waters claimed that if
Sedgwick so much as allowed q peck
of corn to go to ruin it was waste and
that the lease was void from that day.
Judge Hazen also claimed that the JUS
tice court had no jurisdiction in the
matter. Justice Guy will hand down.
