KING IN NO DANGER.
A Revolution Is Guarded
Against at Athens.

London, May 2o.-No con-
hrnation has yet been received
of the news contained in a dis
patch from ConstantinoPle to
the Morning Post Of this city
saying the embassies there
have received word from their
respective ministers at Athens
that the position of the Greek
royal family is SO critical that
the king is practically barricad
ed in his palace and is making
preparations to leave Athens
in order to escape the fury of
the populace. Advices recei1
ed here from Athens say, how
ever, that elaborate measures
have been taken to preserve
order. Besides the regular pc
lice and gendarmes, a civil
guard has been recruited from
the most trusted citizens.
Consequently with the pres
ence of the foreign warships
at Phalerum, it is not thought
that any revolutionary move
ment in Athens could succeed.
In the provinces, however, a
very different condition of af-
fairs exists.
The criminals who were re
leased from the Thessalian pris
ons on the eve OF the turkish
occupation have formed them
selves into bands and are pill
laying right and left. The eff
forts made to cope with them
so far have proven fruitless.

MORTON'S SUCCESSOR.
Tama Jim Wilson is Probably Slated
for the Place.

Canton, O., Jan. 3O.-Ex- Congress
man James Wilson, Familiarity known
as Tama Jim Wilson to distinguish him
from Senator Wilson, who was in con-
gresS from the same state at the same
time, came to Canton on the Pennsyl-
vania train from the west and at 10
p. m. reached the Mckinley home
With Major Mckinley and ex-State
Librarian J. Smith he passed an hour
in the private room. When seen by the
Associated Press representative he was
asked if there was any statement he
could make regarding his visit to Can
ton or the gossip connecting him with
the cabinet as secretary of agriculture
He replied that he had spent the time
very happily with Major Mckinley
talking in a reminiscent vein and swap
ping congress stories. He and the ma
jor were in congress together. Beyond
that there was nothing he could say at
present.
1t is believed here, however, that he
will announce his acceptance of that
portfolio.

BURGLAR SCARED AWAY.
officer Raps for Help and the Man
Runs.

PatrOlman Pavey, who is on nlght
duty on Kansas avenue from Fifth to
Seventh streets, is a hero today Last
night as burglar was in Will c. Chat-
fees furnishing store at 527 Kansas ave
nue., the officer raped on a pole in the
street with his club and scared the bad
man out of the building. The SO re-
ward which Chief Gardiner offered to
the patrOlman who would catch real
live burglar in the act is yet unearned-
About o'clock this morning Patrol
man Pavey went to examine the Chat
fee store. He suspected there was
burglar at work there. After he had
raped to call an officer from the adj
joining beat he investigated, but ere
that the burglar had escaped, and now
is as safe from arrest as Tascot.
The burglar was shrewd- He entered
the dark rear stairway, cut holes
through a side door in the store where
the fastening bolts were located and
pushed open the door. About this time
he had heard the raps on the pole and
ran away rapidly. Previous to this the
burglar had cut holes in the rear base
ment door of Kitchen & MarburgS
hardware store next door. Inside the
rear doors there is a heavy door of steel
grating and this prevented his entrance
there. He next cut into a side door in
the hardware store but as there was
sheet of iron on the inside of the wood
work he was again stopped in his work.
After this he was successful in getting
into Mr.. Chaffees store
So far as Mr.. Chaffee can figure there
was nothing taken from the store.

BOYCOTT THE ROCK ISLAND
Dallas Merchants Displeased Because
it Does Not Build Into the City.

Dallas, Tex, Jan. S0.-Merchants and
jobbers of this city have inaugurated a
boycott against the railroads that have
been getting the benefit of Dallas trade
but which have failed to build into the
city.
The roads principally placed under
the ban are the St. Louis & Southwest
ern, the Rock Island and the Fort
Worth & Denver.
At a meeting of the commercial club
tonight the following resolution was
introduced by ex-Gov. Barnett Gibbs
and unanimously adopted:
Resolved 1. That no more goods
should be routed into Dallas over rail
roads that run within so miles of the
city and don't come in and maintain
depOtS here
2. That our merchants are requested
to consider the Importance of this mat
ter.
The Rock Island and the Fit. Worth
G. Denver run into Fort Worth 80 miles
from Dallas, and the Cotton Belt has

The second largest attendance of the
week is credited to yesterday by the
management of the Pure Food Show. 1t
is placed at 3, 700. The crowd was bet
ter managed than before and there
were no brushes.
Around the booths, however, there
were repeated scrambles to get to the
front where samples were being distrib-
uted, but for the most part the crowd
was orderly.
one of the best features of the week
was the burlesquqe side show given by
the state university students in the
cooking school auditorium last night,
where a large tent was pitched and all
the fakes of the auxiliary to a circus
were initiated. Those who participated
in the performance were members of
the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and be-
fore the doors were open for the per-

Cawkins, dog faced boy; Fred Wood,
organ grinder; Dick Rodgers and Will

liceman; George Robinson, announcer;
NJ. 3. Rafter, strong man: John Fran
ct seller; Ted Thacher, ticket taker: W.
L. Maxwell and Fred Robinson, musi-
clans.
over 500 people visited the side show
during the evening, and the association
by charging an admission of cents
got back all it cost to bring the show to
Topeka.
In the afternoon the Kansas fedora
ton had charge of the exercises. The
cooking auditorium was crowded to
the doors long before Mr.. Willis Lord
Moore of Hutchinson called the meet
ing to order Nearly all who attended
were ladies, including almost every
prominent woman in Topeka.
Music was furnished by a quartette
composed of Mesdames F. H Foster,
F. S. Thomas, w. 1. Miller and L. s.
Ferry
Mrs Moore made the opening address
followed by Mrs. Hill P. Wilson of
Hays City, whose subject was "Knasas

AMAZON DITCH LOSES.
Judge Foster Decides an Interesting
Point in Irrigation.

United States District Judge Foster
last evening decided a case which will
be of great importance to people who
live in the western counties along the
Arkansas river, which have been irri-
gated by means of two large bitches
In 1881 the Great Eastern Irrigation
company was organized, with Senator
Plumb as one of the prominent MEM
bers. A ditch IS miles long in the vi
cinity of Garden City was built. Buff
falo'' Jones, who was member of the
company, had trouble with the other di-
rectorS and drew out. He then pro
ceeded to organize a new company and
built a new ditch known as the Anna
zon. He built dam across the Ar
kansas just above the place where the
other ditch tapped the river and used
all the water in his ditch, which is about
80 miles in length.
The case was taken to the courts and
had been pending for about ten years
The question was, who had the right
to the water in the river, as there was
not enough for both. Ex-senator Mill
ton Brown of Garden City has just Sc
cured a decree for the Great Eastern
company which will forever prevent the
other company from taking water from
the river until his company has all ii
can use. This will make the Amazon
ditch practically worthless.

Exhibitors Pleased Vita the Show,
the Crowd and Their Assistants.

The exhibitors are well pleased with
the result of the Pure Food show. 1t

leave Topeka disappointed.
P H. Smith, who has managed the
Pettijohn exhibit, said to q Journal re-
porter: Il am delighted with the result
of the show. 1t has been a much big
ger thing than I anticipated When I
came I ordered $4,000 samples, and we
have already given away go 900. l was
compelled to make additional orders
and still we have not enough. The peo-
pie have given the show their support
and [ do not believe there is anyone
here who will complain of the treatment
he received.
Il want to say one thing about the
young ladies who have been working
in my booth under the direction of the
kindergarten association. / have been
in a great many food shows. and have
had professional demonstrators and
saleswomen at work, but L have never
had any that took as many orders as
those who have assisted me at this
show. 1 cannot understand it, but it
is nevertheless a fact
George Currier, who has had charge
of two exhibits, said: This has been
a splendid show. 1 confess that l did
not have very exalted ideas about the
Topeka Pure Food show at first, but 1
am delighted with the result. 1t has
been one of the biggest and best things
l ever attended.
I'VE have served $50 gallons of coffee
and 10 gallons of cream, but I feel that
it has been money well invested. The
Topeka Pure Food show has been a sue

THE CZAR WEEPS.
His Empire Torn by Discussions
Among the Nobility.

London, Jan. 30-A dispatch to the
Daily News from Berlin, quoting from
Tiger Nachrichten makes statements
which throw additional light upon the
troubles of the czar. The correspond
ent of the LeipZiger Nachrichten says
that the czar really suffers from nothing
more than an ordinary boil cOmplicat-
ed with nervous affection due to the in
cidents accompanying his accession,
court political struggles and numerous
intrigues.
These disputes are ostensibly over the
financial schemes proposed by M. De
White, Russian minister of finance.
This really amounts to a struggle for
ascendancy between the old Russo
party and the progressists. So warm
was the discussion at recent council
meeting that the car broke down en-
tirely, tears gathered in his eyes, and
he buried his face in his hands and
cried: DO what you like; It is all the
same to me-
