Speculative appetite of Wall street suffer
Ing from lack of variety. 1t was clearly
evident that even if the outside public is
temporarily absent from the street the
professional operators are willing to
gage in an interesting and somewhat pic
turesque contest. A deep seriousness al
at the Stock Exchange and the final out
come of such fluctuations is a price level
representing actual conditions Of the prop
critics whose securities are traded in. The
movement of Union Pacific stocks may be
cited as an illustration of the predomi-

persistent effort has been made in GER

CHARLIE NELSON DEAD.
A Much Beloved Citizen of Topeka
Gone to His Rest.

Gone to His Rest
Charlie Nelson is dead His kindly
spirit passed away at his home at GIG
West Sixth street at o'clock this
morning.
Mr. Nelson had been confined to his
bed for many weeks, gradually growing
weaker and his death was not unex-
pected. He suffered little pain at the
end quietly passing away conscious
almost until the last day OF his ILL
ness.
Mr.. Nelson was a member of the
First Presbyterian church of this city
and will be buried from the church on
Sunday afternoon at o'clock. The SER
vices will be in Immediate charge of the
Masons of Topeka, but Rev. = D.
Countermine will deliver the funeral
sermon. The body will be laid to rest
in Topeka cemetery.
Mr.. Nelson leaves a wife and young
daughter. He was insured in the A.
o. U. W. lodge for $4,000. He was also
a member of the Masonic lodge of this
city. From that organization his fam
lily will receive 500 from the 'immedi-
ate relief fund"
The aged parents of the deceased
live in Rochester, N. Y, but word was
received this noon that they would be
able to attend the funeral.
At the time of his death Mr.. Nelson
was about AZ years of age. He had
lived in Topeka for the past 16 years
and was well known and liked. He
made a good citizen. For the last three
years he has been connected with the
Topeka Athletic club. Previous to that
for many years he was with the firm Of
Stephenson & Co.

Coal began coming to the state house
yesterday from the penitentiary, the

There have been received at Adjutant
General Aliens office twenty-six letters
with requests that they be forwarded
to the next of kin of deceased soldiers.
They come from a pension agent in
Washington, and contain instructions
for getting pensions. The names of the
soldiers and the state they enlisted in
were obtained by the pension agent
from the hospital reports sent to Wash
ington, but for information concerning
the addresses of the dead soldiers the
agent has to depend on the kindness
Of the adjutant general.
Governor Leedy has granted a pardon
to Henry Q. Sempey, who was sent to
the penitentiary from Shawnee county
four years ago, for six years, for bur
glary and grand larceny. He confessed
to having been implicated in the rob-
berry of Culver & Bailey, Topeka. hard
ware merchants, but it has since been
shown that he only received the stolen
goods and was led into the crime by
others. Sempey was only Is years old
when he was sent to the penitentiary.

"RAISING POINTS"
Populist Managers Trying to Prevent
Socialists From Having Tickets
Printed.

Next Monday afternoon Secretary of
Stats Bush, State Auditor Morris and
Attorney General Boyle will meet as a
contest board to pass upon the protest
filed by R. H. Semple, Directing to Civ
ing the Socialist Labor ticket a place
on the official ballot. Both Mr.. Bush
and Mr.. Boyle are absent from the city.
but the time for the hearing was fixed
by Auditor Morris. The candidates. on
the protested ticket will be notified of
the protest and the time set for the
hearing by Assistant Secretary of State
Ross.
Mr.. Semple who is a brother-in-iaw
of Mrs. Eta Semple, candidate for su-
perintendent of public instruction on
the Socialist ticket, in his protest raises
four points of objection. They are:
first, that the Socialist Labor party did
not poll per cent of the total vote of
the state at the last election; second,
that the petition to place the ticket on
the official ballot contains less than
$500 legal voters; third, that the petit
ton does not show that the SignerS are
legal voters; fourth, that the petition is
signed largely by Republicans and is
not made in good faith.
The last objection is the principal one
urged. Between now and next Mon
day copies of the signatures on the pc
ent towns where the petitions were got
ten up to ascertain the identity Of the
signers and their politics.
The contest board is given full power
to decide whether the ticket shall go on
the ballot and from their decision there
is no appeal. This was decided in the
protest against the Corning ticket in
1894 One of the grounds on which
that ticket-was thrown out was that it
was signed largely by Republicans.
1T is not only a question of politics,
but it is a question of expense to the
state" said Mr.. Semple this morning.
ut would cost a great deal more to
print the ballots if another ticket should
be added. OF course, there could be no
objection if the petition was signed by
men who wish to vote for that ticket,
but it is not. Very few of the sign
ers of that petition would vote that
ticket If it should be put on the ballot
It would be of some value to have the
ticket printed If it would show the So
cialistic strength, but it won't. There
are lots of socialists around the state
house, but not one of them would vote
that ticket"
The ticket which is objected to is
composed as follows:
Governor, Caleb Lipscomb, Fort
Scott; lieutenant governor, N. B. Ar
mold, Topeka; associate Justice, A. A.
Carnahan, Concordia; auditor of state,
E. Cain, Cherokee; secretary of state.
D. O'Donnell, Frontenac; treasurer of
state, VIM. H. Wright, Miltonvale; su-
perintendent of public instruction, Eta
Semple, Ottawa; attorney general, VIM.
L. Rose, wichita; congressman-at
large, Fred E. Miller, DeSota.

A CONTEMPT CASE.
Deputy o. S. Marshal PRESCOTT Ar
rested, But Soon Afterward
ReTaaaad


rested, But Soon Afterward
Released.
Deputy United States Marshal z. A.
Prescott was arrested for contempt of
Manhattan yesterday afternoon. An
hour later, however, he was discharged
just as United States Marshal Sterne
was preparing habeas corpus papers for
his release and warrants for Judge
Spillman and all others concerned in
the arrest on instructions from United
States Judge Williams.
Wednesday Judge Williams signed an
order staying all prosecution in the
case of the Dewey Cattle company
against the Hubbard Morgan Cattle
company in the district court of Riley
county, and Wednesday afternoon
Prescott went to Manhattan to serve
it. He was unable that night to find
G. P. Dewey, president of the company,
or John E. Hessin, attorney for the
Dewey company, but found H. J. Barn
house, Dewey's manager.
The case was set for trial yesterday
afternoon, and Prescott stationed him
self at the door of the court room to
catch Dewey and Hessin and serve the
papers as they entered the court room.
This they failed to do, however, but an
affidavit was received by Judge Spill
man from Attorney. Hessin setting forth
on oath that Prescott was interfering
with the case and asking that he be
committed for contempt. On this aff1-
davit Judge Spillman ordered a war
rant prepared for Prescott's arrest, but
before it could be served Prescott had
heard of the proceedings and hurriedly
left for Hessin's office and filed his
papers before the sherif's officer found
him.
After his arrest he was released after
promising that he would file no more
papers in his possession. but after con-
sidering the matter Judge Spillman re-
leased him altogether. The case was
stopped.
The action Of Judge Spillman in dis
charging Prescott probably saved him
and Attorney Hessin, as well as all
others connected with the arrest, from
serious trouble. When Judge Williams
heard of the matter yesterday after
noon he took several minutes off to
storm about the arrogance of a dis
trict judge and peremptorily ordered
Marshal Sterne to prepare habeas cor
pus papers and federal warrants. The
information of Prescott's discharge put
a stop to these proceedings.
When Judge Williams ordered the
writ of habeaS corpus prepared he told
Marshal Sterne to make it returnable
at Little Rock, Ark. He intended to
deal with the matter personally, and as
he is particularly opposed to clashes
between state and federal courts, it
would probably have not been dealt
with lightly.

A NEW RECEIYER
For the Topeka Water Company
Only a Formal Change.

The Topeka Water company has q
new receiver. He is Mr.. ]. w. O'Neil
of this city, who represents some of the
bondholders of the company and has
made his residence in Topeka for some
time.
The order making Mr.. O'Nel receiver
was made by Judge Williams of the
United States court last evening. Mr..
Elias Summerfeld of Lawrence, who
has acted as receiver since the suit
against the Topeka Water company
was filed in the federal court, tender
ed his resignation yesterday afternoon.
1t was Immediately accepted by Judge
Williams and Mr.. O'Nen named as his
successor.
Mr.. summerfeld's resignation was
entirely voluntary, and was rendered
on the ground of not wishing to have
the responsibility of the position longer.
He was allowed $1,000 for his services
as receiver up to date.
The action of the court is purely
formal. Mr.. O'Neil came to Topeka to
act as manager for the company that
purchased the plant and the receiver
ship is continued simply to allow the
closing up of some of the business of
the old company.

imperfect digestion of food; the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia.
