MAY BE c. X. HOLIDAY, JR.
Rumored He is to be Police Judge
He Won't Talk About It.

There is a rumor today that Charles
K Holiday will be appointed police
Judge. The fact that Holiday takes
his defeat for a member of the police
board so nonchalantly tends to give
color to the story.
Holiday was Endorsed for place on
the police board by David Overmyer
and nearly every prominent Democrat
in the city, and it would be natural to
suppose that something would be done
TO counteract the effect of ignoring his
Endorsements.
Commissioner Holiday said today to
a Journal reporter, when questioned
about his defeat for a member of the
new board: There are no sore spots
on me. 1 am still Demo-Pop and
am for Bryan, Leedy and silver. had
but one ambition concerning a place on
the board, and that was to show the
people of Topeka a police force they
might be proud of. I have served on
the board under three Republican pres
idents and with a majority of the board
Republican, and I think L know some
thing of the needs of the police Sys>
tenn of Topeka"
Mr. Holiday refused to discuss the
rumor concerning his appointment as
police judge, but said he knew nothing
about it.
The other candidates for police judge
are ex-Police Judge J. S. Ensminger,
Populist; O. o. Osborn, Populist; r. B.
Heller, Populist; w. E. Atchison, DEM
Ocrat.

CHOLERA NEXT.
It is Regarded as Certain That Chol-
era Will Follow the Plague.

Bijapur. Presidency of Bombay, Jan. 81.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press, who is visiting the distressed
provinces of India, has arrived at Bija-
pur, about 245 miles southeast of Bonn
bay, and finds in this district the keeneSt
distress, especially among the people OF
the lower castles. These are on the verge
of starvation, and are only saved from
it by the government relief work. which
enables them to earn enough money to
at least keep body and soul together
while awaiting the brighter state of af
fairs which recent rains are expected to
provide later in the year.
1t is estimated that fully one-tenth of
the cattle in this district have already
persisted from lack of fodder. and the loss
from this cause will undoubtedly be con-
siderabIy increased between now and the
growing of the new crops. In the fields
have been seen lying number of carcaSSes
of animals, being devOured by vultures.
There are many gangs of robbers en-
gagged in pillaging grain stores whenever
an opportunity arises and the prisons are
full of thieves who have been captured
while stealing grain or in attempting to
do so. Among the masses there are many
cases of illness, arising from lack of
proper nourishment, and it is regarded as
certain that cholera. will reach this dis
trict sooner or later owing to the care

Kansas Editors Entertained at Kan
sas City-Bob Burdette There.

Kansas City, Jan. 27.-Kansas City
yesterday became a veritable Mecca of
newspaper men. There were 21S of
them in town besides the regular forces
resident here; namely, 216 members of
the Kansas Editorial association, Murat
Ealstead and Robert Burdette They
were met at the depot by a reception
committee and escorted TO the Com
merclaI club rooms. Here was served
out a luscious and spicy intellectual
sandwich, to use the meta phor of Pres
ident Watson.
Noble Prentis was called upon to de-
liver the address of welcome he had
been delegated to make. The Kansas
City newspaper man referred to his
former career as a Kansas editor but
insisted that he was still almost in his
former home.

You are here near home, and as you
doubtless wish to know more of Kansas
City, you have surely come to the right
shop, here in the Commercial club
rooms You will find Kansas City a
good town, though not a Paradise. For
that we need a few more charter
amendments and eternal investigations.
Now, when you go out this evening,
you may hear insinuations made about
Kansas City, concerning footpads. for
instance. But do not be frightened.
On my honor, assure you that high
wayman never yet secured a cent from
a newspaper man"
In the same strain Mr. Prentis kept
his hearers alternating between laugh
ter and applause, and concluded with a
hearty welcome to them all.
Bob Burdette, once of the famous
Burlington Hawkeye, was next intro
duced. The humorist dubbed over
with wit and good nature for several
minutes, and made quite the hit of the
reception. He expressed his love for
editors and a heartfelt admiration for
the perfect and beautiful harmony of
disagreement amongst them.
+. H. Roberts of the Oskaloosa indie
pendent, the retiring president of the
Kansas Editorial association. and Pres
ident-elect H. a. Perkins of the Man
haitian Nationalist were each called up
on to respond. They expressed their
satisfaction with Kansas City and their
entertainers, and announced that the
next convention of the association
would be held here.
