RIDGELEY TO BE DROPPED.
Likely to Nominate FurreI-
Iy for Congress in the Third
District Next Year.

Topeka. Kas.. July 19.-(Special) From
present indications. ex-Congressman Kirk
patrick will have as his opponent IN the
race for congressman of the Third district
next year State Senator Hugh Farrelly, of
Chanute. Farrelly is Democrat, but the
Populists of that district have become dis
gusted with the showing made by Con-
gressman Ridgeley at the present session
of congress, and they are planning to
dump him. Ridgeley has been heard of
but once since he went to Washington.
He got his name in the Congressional Rec
ord one time because he introduced some
impractical. wild-eyed bill, and since then
he seems to have caught the Ben Clover
disease and gone to sleep. The Third dis
trict Pops want some one TO represent
them who can get his name into the news
papers more than once during session.
They don't care particularly what is said
about him, just so it Is said. Farrelly was
the Democratic nominee for congress in
that district last fall, but he withdrew in
favor of Ridgeley, the state senatOrship
being the consideration. He made quite a
reputation in the senate, being one of the
leaders of the conservative element of the
PopOcrats. His vote on the railroad bill
did not please the old maximum freight
"a ters, but he did not care. He is popular
with the allied forces, and Ridgeley will
have hard work to defeat him for the nom
nation. Rdgeley has a strong supporter
in John Breidenthal, but it is doubtful II
even the willy state chairman can save
him.

MOTHER BICKERDYKE DAY.
Great Crowd in Bunker Hill Yester-
day TO Do Honor to the Old
ARMY NnrsR.

Bunker Hill. Kas.. July 19-(SpecialO This
little city to-day was covered with bunting
and her citizens were out in force to do
honor to Mother Bickerdyke. the famous
army nurse, who is 50 years old to-day. 1t
is estimated that 1000 persons were in the
city to-day. Many old soldiers drove here
from surrounding towns. some coming as
far as forty or fifty miles
Mother Bickerdyke day was originated by
Commander Theo Botkin, of Topeka. He
desired that the G.. A. r. of Kansas should
pay nonor to that patriotic army nurse
who Iabored throughout the war for the
boys VINO came to the rescue of their coun-
try In the troubled times of 1861.
Every delegation of old soldiers. as they
came INTO the city, went at once to the
home OF Mrs. BiCkerdyke to call and ex-
press thelr gratitude to her for her Work
for the old soldiers. She received them all
with smile and a friendly word.
The morning services were presided over
py william Russell of this city. An ad-
dress was made by J. !. A. Dixon, OF Rus
sen; Mother Bickerdyke was taken in
mack drawn by hundred old veterans TO
the AFTERNOON meeting. and was given a
sedt on tns front OF the platform.
GCneral Lewis Hanback,, of Topeka, made
the address of the day. Several times he
had the vast audience in tears by his
touChing elOquence. Mrs. BiCkerdyke was
IN tears number of times. Colonel Tom
Jackson. of Newton. and Commander W.
+. FEEDER, of the Sons of Veterans, also
spoke. Department Commander Theo Bot
kin presided over the afternoon meeting.
At the close he made a short speech, and
then presented Mother Bickerdyke with a
silver water service. as a token of the es-
teen of the G.. A. r. of Kansas for a no.
Bile army nurse.

AFTER THE PLUMBING TRUST.
Attorney General Boyle Will Proceed
Against 1t Under the Far
reilly Law.

Topeka, Nos, July 19.-(Specia1) At
torney General Boyle was consulted to-day
with a view of bringing criminal proceed
iIgs against the Kansas branch of the
master plumbers national organization for
the violation of the Farrelly antitrust law
Correspondence has been produced which
the attorney general says is conclusive that
the association is formed to restrain trade:
that it is trust. and that it can be reached
by the new law.
The complaint was made by Durkin &
Leahey, plumbers. OF Topeka. These men
do not own a regular shop; they are what
the regulars call "curbStone" plumbers;
that is, their Office is wherever their hats
are off. and they are thorn in the side OF
the others. Some time ago they were un-
able to purchase certain kinds OF plumbing
goods because they were not members Of
the association. Then they joined and put
up a $50 membership fee. They were
recognized completely by the organization
and could buy goods anywhere until yes
terday, when they were notified that they
would have to establish shop before they
could get any more goods. Instead of
knuCkling to the trust again, they went
before the attorney general and gave him
the necessary information upon which TO
base a prosecution. County Attorney Jet
more will also be called into the case. Tho
papers will be prepared as soon as the at
torney general finishes the argument of the
stock yards case.
Mr.. Leahey says that the action of the
association in shutting him out Of goods
has caused him much embarrassment.

WAS 1T MRS. LUETGERT?
New York Man Claims to Have Seen
Her in New York After Her
Alleged Murder.

New York, July 20.-For more than two
months the police of this city have been
in possession of information which, If true,
and the circumstances indicate that it is,
will save the life of Adolph Luetgert now
In jail in Chicago, charged with the murder
of his wife. 1t is: That Mrs. Luetgert was
in this city on May T. and this is apparent
ly conclusive evidence. A. w. c. Grotty
formerly lived in Chicago. He was well
acquainted with Mrs. Luetgert. In fact.
he had known her as Louise Blcknes, long
before she became the wife of Luetgert.
On May Z MIR. GrOtty, accompanied by
Richard L. Schulof and Rudolph Shintsby,
went TO Cooks ticket agency, on Broad
way. 1t was between 10 and IL o'clock in
the forenoon.
As Mr.. Grotty reioined his companions
on the sidewalk, two women approached,
one OF whom he recognized as Mrs. Luet-
gert. He asked her when she came to the
city. and she replied that she had just
arrived. Mr.. Grotty then introduced her
TO Mr.. Schulhof and Mr.. ShintZky. Mr.:
Grotty who was then guest at the
Broadway Central hotel, invited Mrs. Luet-
CERT to dine with him. She declined on
the ground that she was about to leave
New York He noticed that she appeared
tention to it. He told her that since he
had last seen her in Chicago he had mar
ried, and expected his wife here soon,
when he would be very glad to have Mrs.
Luetgert call
They parted. and Mr. Grotty thought no
more of the matter until day or two
later. when he was astounded to read the
shocking details of the supposed murder
of Mrs. Luetgert in Chicago.
Mr.. Schulhof said yesterday he recalled
the meeting on Broadway, and in that re-
spect could confirm all that Mr.. Grotty had
said. Nevertheless, he did not want to get
mixed up in the matter.
At the Occidental hotel. Broome street
and the Bowery. the register fails to show
that anybody by the name of Luetgert
from Chicago stopped there during the first
ten days of May. Still, IL Is quite possible
that the woman would give a false name
and address.
At Falk & Co.'S agency on the Bowery.
the books show that on May Z tickets TO
Hamburg on the Palatia were sold TO Mr..
and Mrs. Emil Bruskner

time approaches for the Populist state com
mittee to assemble to select a successor to
j. W. Breidenthal as member-at-large and
chairman of the committee. new candidates
spring up like mushrooms. The latest one
is George W. Clark, ex-iudge Of the APP
pellate court, and at present special master

cation. Judge Clark was made chairman
of the Shawnee county POpulist commit
tee Saturday, to pave the way 10 the state
chairmanship. Although on friendly terms

cal supporter of Breidenthal. Leedy may
want an out and out Leedy man at the
head of the committee. to enable him to
build up a Leedy party in Kansas. If he
does. Clark will not be his choice because
Clark is not the sort of man who will
allow himself to be dictated to by one who
is his intellectual inferior.
