Got Her Moneys Worth.

Some time ago our local operator took
a telegram which read:
:" Miss Maude, will you be miner"
1t was delivered to the proper party,
and soon she came tripping into the office
to wire her reply. 1t read:
yves. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes"
Ten words, you see, and she paid her
quarter, and then tripped out of the room
with the sweetest kind of blush,

FINISHING THE WRECK.
Pop Police Board Go on Killing Their
Party in Topeka.

It is now pretty generally known that
the Topeka police board will remove
Detective Chas. c. Price from the police
force at its meeting tonight to make
room for Populist. Price was on the
previous force acting in the capacity
of secret service man and gave excel
lent satisfaction. When retained by
the present board in the position, Chief
Steele declared that Price was the best
detective he ever knew in Topeka. But
there have been demands made on the
police board by Populists, who claimed
that the place should be given to a
man of the right political faith with
the administration.
Price is a particularly shrewd man,
is acknowledged to be first class Of
ficer and has never been subject to
discipline for any offenSe. President
Billiard is reported as telling Price
short time ago that he (Price) was one
of the best men on the force, but that
there We're so many complaints being
would have to be appointed.
Today a delegation of % colored
young men headed by Fred Eggleson,
Rufus Stewart and George Weaver,
called on Governor Leedy to ask that
he cause Price to be removed and
colored man of the Populist faith ap-
pointed to succeed him 1t is under
stood that they asked that John Jones,
who was a deputy under Sheriff kep-
ley, should be appointed in Price.
place. Jones was removed for permit
ting q prisoner to escape.
1t is reported that the board viii
probably appoint either Patrolmen Da-
Wis or Kesson to succeed Price and
take on a Populist patrolman to NIL the
vacancy
AS the only way the Populists could
hope to increase their strength in To-
peka was to make an excellent record
for a hightoned police administration
and thus secure public respect for their
administrative capacity it will be seen
that they have fallen deeper into the
rnire than any previous administration
previous board was bad, but it has
never been as foul as petty and as lit
tie minded as the present one. The
Populist managers in Topeka have
shown themselves nothing but petty Of
fee grabberS.

of Texas, who said this was a. conference

elected temporary chairman by acclama-
ton. He said he wanted to see plain un-
mistakable declara tions that no one could
misunderstood and he wanted to see some
means of making them effective. He
trusted that the deliberations would be cool
and calm and that there would be no re-

A STRAY BALLOON.
It is Anchored in Lake Michigan
Three Miles Off Shore.

Chicago, July 5.-Evanston life savers
are looking for lost aeronaut When
they find him they will restore to him
his balloon. The airship is riding on
the surface of Lake Michigan about
three miles off the Evanston station,
but it is anchored and the aeronaut can
have it on application. When the bal
loon was first sighted the life saving
crew ran out their boat and after a
hard pull managed to capture it,
The life savers say the balloon is of
the knid used for long voyages, and
not the hot air kind sent up by para
chute jumpers. Besides this. the bask-
ct is the kind used by balloonists for
long trips, parachute leapers only en-
ploying a trapeze.
The runaway balloon was first seen to
strike the lake few miles off Rogers
Park 1t swooped down from a great
height, and at the first plunge the car
went under the waves and was dragged
along a considerable distance under the
water.
Sometimes the balloon would mount
upward and lift the car ten or fifteen
feet above the waves, and then dive
down again and immerSe the basket.
There were no balloon ascensions so
far as known around Chicago yesterday
and the presence Of the balloon over the
lake is a mystery.

State Temperance Union Instructs
Voters at the Primaries and
Election

The State Temperance union has issued
an address preliminary to the primaries
and fall election. 1t urges the people to
give their attention to the election of the
right kind of men and especially are they
urged to look after the sheriffs. Follow
ing is the address:
To all Friends of Good Citizenship:
The officers and executive committee of
the State Temperance union would re-
spectfully but earnestly urge that the ut
most attention be given everywhere
throughout the state at the coming pri-
maries to the nomination of the very
tally for sheriff.
A candidates declara ton taken bv it.
self is not sufficient. If his record as a
good citizen, or as a public officer in case
he has held office, is not good he is not
a safe man to receive the suffrage and
support of good citizens. The man who
has betrayed public confidence once is
likely to do it again. Promises are easily
made, but they are as easily broken See
to it that the man who receives your
support has a record w orthy Of your
hearty support.
Surely Kansas has had enough of Off
cial recreancy to public trust. Is it not
time that good citizens of all parties give
more attention at the primaries and at
the polls to the character of the men
who ask their suffrage? Can we hope for
any material or permanent improvement in
the enforcement of law until the majori-
ty of voters feel a stronger sense of per-
sona1 responsibility at the primaries and
act accordingly?
We believe that of late in almost every
part of the state more interest is being
shown in good municipal government
than formerly. In many localities the
citizens are moving In a united and de-
termined effort against 1awlessness. A
joint or drugstore bar-room has not one
whit more right to exist than an open
saloon. None of these is a necessary evil,
and anyone of them is enemy of the
home, a foe to society. and menace to
good government. Any sane man must
know that to license an evil of this kind
is in the end expensive luxury. The
moral sense of the community is thereby
degraded. Crime and pauperism thrive
under a license system, and taxation is
increased. The bar-room, whether the
openly licensed saloon or the illegally
fined joint, is the recruiting station of
vice and political corruption.
The summer temperance rallies which
have thus far been held have had excel
lent local results. Let these be continued
in every county in the state, and let there
be greatly increased diligence along all
lines of temperance and good citizenship
activity.

conference then took recess of 80 min
utes and meetings of the state delegates
were held all over the hall to select mem
bers of the committee credentials.
When the conference was again called
to order there were about 600 delegates
present.The committee on credentials was
announced and motion made to call the

but the objection was made that this
could not be done until the committee on
