The Engagement of Mr.. ]. n. FOUGHT
and Mrs a. H Bedding, Widow of
One of the Celebrated Bedding
Bros. Silk Manufacturers.

J. H. FOUGHT, the well known North
Topeka hardware merchant, is to be
married on March 10, to Mrs. H. H.
Bedding of Chicago, who is the widow OF
one of the firm of Bedding Bros, silk
manufacturers, who is reported to be
Immensely wealthy. The marriage is

Chicago, March TO-
Mr.. FOUGHT has recently returned
from Chicago where the final arrange
Krents for the marriage were made and
the announcement will appear in few
days in a Chicago paper. An effort has
been made by Mr.. FOUGHT and his
friends to keep the arrangement a Sc
cret in Topeka until after the publica-
ton in Chicago by authority of the
bride to- be.
There are whisperings of no end of
romance connected with the engage
znent 1t is said that Mrs. Bedding is
worth So, 600, 900 and that when she met
Mr.. FOUGHT year ago he had no
knowledge of her wealth. AS the story
goes Mrs. Bedding said recently that she
has had many suitors before, but never
one from whom she could separate the
thought that he was more considerate
of her money than of her. There is no
such suspicion concerning her acqua1nt-
Rnce with Mr.. FOUGHT, for it is supposed
that when he met her and fell in love
he had no suspicion that she was the

for he told a Journal reporter last even

it.
ct do not know how such a story was
started" said Mr.. FOUGHT but while
I do not deny the runor of my APP
preaching marriage, there is absolutely
no truth in the story that Mrs. Bedding
is very wealthy. I do not know how
much she is worth, but do not believe it
amounts to great deal. She may be
worth as much as I am"
While Mr.. FOUGHT is considered we'll
10 do in Topeka, he has not been re-
garded as a very wealthy man, and it
as evident that he does not believe the
stories of Mrs. Belongs wealth.
When a Journal reporter found Mr..
FOUGHT at his store in North Topeka
and questioned him about his approach
ing marriage, he appeared somewhat
confused and said that the formal an
nouncement would be made in Chicago.

approaching marriage is a fact, do not

Mr. FOUGHT met Mrs. Belding a year

ssFRESH EGGS, NEW LAID. .
Irving Park Succumbs to Temptation
and Buys Out Two srNeedy Farm
ers From Niles Center"

Chicago, Feb. 10.-"Fresh eggs! New
laid eggsI Fresh eggs cheap." was the
unusual cry that rudely disturbed Irv-
ing Parks Sunday morning nap. No
body could imagine why anyone should
be peddling eggs on a Sunday morning;
hence everybody got out of bed and
went to the window to see two men and
a wagon load of the product of the in
dustrious hen.
Now, a bargain is a bargain, Sunday
morning or any other morning, and soon
the two men were busy explaining that
they were farmers from Niles Center,
that they We're hard up for cash, that
they had made a special trip to Irving
Park, and that they must sell their
eggs, even if they only got half price
The price was extremely low and the
samples were Enthusiastically fresh laid
The result was that the men soon
drove away with an empty wagon and
boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, eggs in the
pan, pOached eggs on toast, ham and
eggs and Omelets were ordered for
breakfast all over the village.
But alas! the samples and the eggs in
the crates were products of a different
hen and year. And this is why there
were no fresh eggs on Irving Park
breakfast tables, and why the village
dropped in at the police station on it's
way to church and confided it's woes to
the desk sergeant. But the two ignor-
ant, needy farmers from Niles Center
were already safe in Chicago.

LOS ANGELES CUTS WAGES.
Street Railway Employees Reduced
From 20 to SO Cents a Day.

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 10.-For the
first time in years blow was struck at
the wages of street railway employees in
this city today. All the employees on the
Temple street cable road had their sal
aries reduced from 20 cents to SO cents
per day. Gripmen on this road have
heretofore received 81. so per day and
conductors 1922
BY the new order which has just gone
into effect these gripmen now receive
$2.25 per day, while conductors receive
81. This is for day work of from ten to
twelve hours. The night shafts have
averaged about eight hours and for
these the Temple street men have re-
ceived from $1.75 to 81 per day for grip
men and conductors respectively. The
new rule gives the night men 20 cents
per hour without distinction, which on
eight hour shifts would give both grip
men and conductors 81. go per night

THE SLEEKEST ONE YET.
a Street Fakir Persuades People to
Borrow Money to Buy Goods.

The most accomplished fakir that ever
visited Topeka struck town yesterday.
He wore a silk hat, had a Websterian
face and presented a general aspect of
prosperity. When he stopped t the
corner of Sixth and Kansas avenue and
raised his voice it was not long before
a crowd surrounded him.
When he offered for sale an article
which he said was worth IS for $1,there
was a general rush and before many
seconds had passed the fa1ir had his
hands full of money. When there was
a lull in the business the man employed
a method of mild coercion. Reaching
his hand toward man he would say ::
Here, take this and hand me up dol
lar. Take it 1 say and don't be long
about it either. In many cases the man
addressed would go down in his pocket
and fish up his hard earned money and
take the proffered package.
One man who was addressed in that
manner said: Il have no money"
DO you know this man?' said the
fakir,' pointing to an elderly gentleman
who stood near the buggy and who had
displayed some money
mo do not" replied the person first
addressed.
What is your name?" asked the
street orator.

ing the man who had money.
My name is Cooper"

son obeyed with some show of reluct-
ance. Mr.. Cooper this is Mr.. Johnson.
Mr. Johnson this is Mr.. Cooper. Shake
hands The men did as ordered Now
Mr.. Cooper you know Mr.. Johnson Lend
him a dollar Mr.. Cooper put his hand
silver dollar and handed it to his new
acquaintance. Johnson handed the
money to the fakir and got the "valu-
able" package. The man in the carriage
