of their corn, cotton, wheat, and lands;
and make their homes more comfort

With all these thipgs- within their
reach, through the Alliance, we are
surprised to see so macy good citizens
stand aloot, while many families are

JOINTIsTS PLEAD GUILTY.
Unexpected Move Made in the Dis
trict Court Today.

trict Court Today.
! A peculiar thing happened today in
! the district court-two Topeka jointists
! pleaded guilty and will accept SEN
| fences of 80 days in Jail and 500 fine.
The two men are Walt Richards, pro-
| prietor of the place on East Seventh
street and Harry Croft, whose joint is
between Fourth and Fifth streets, on
Kansas avenue.
There was surprise in the court room
when Judge Hazen called the cases and
H. c. Stafford, attorney for Croft and
Richards arose and said that his men
desired to enter a plea of guilty to the
charge of maintaining nuisances. II
desire to ask suspension of sentence
for a few days" said Mr.. Stafford.
Judge Hazen entered the plea on the
docket and said that he would suspend
sentence until Wednesday.
There are different opinions about
the reason that impelled the men to
plead guilty. The men themselves are
silent on the question. One of their at
torneys said that the only purpose was
to avoid costs.
A jointist said: Croft and Thomp-
son did the best thing in sight What
was the use of fighting when there was
cinch that they would be convicted.
The only good a trial would have done
them would have been to give them an
opportunity to pay some more costs. 1t
was a sensible thing to do
a member of the Committee of Sew
enteen said: Il hardly know what to
AAIdhS VI lulS new move L WOULD not
be surprised if the real purpose of this
move is to save Jetmore. They have
been told that if they are not careful
Jetmore will be beaten and so they try
to help him along by pleading guilty"
Sheriff Cook added another supply to
his stock of liquor today. A freight
train from RosSviIle brought six kegs
of beer and two barrels of whisky to
Topeka and they were at once trans
ferred to the basement of the new court
house and locked up.
The liquor received today is the stock
of the ROSsville joint known as Londie
Cottle's o. NJ. B. lodge. The raid was
made Saturday evening but the propri-
found to dispute the possession of the
wet goods with the sheriff. Cottle must
have left but a short time before the
officers arrived because he did not take
the trouble to remove any of the furn-
ishings of the joint.
The men who were arrested last week
in North Topeka will probably not be
tried at this term of court unless they
decide to follow the example of Croft
and Richards and plead guilty. They
The men are F. Brown, E. S Timon,
B. o. Russell. w. c. Whitney, ]. Dur
kin and a. Black.
There is not a joint in Topeka today
with wide open doors. They are still
being operated but a stranger has a
hard time to get in unless he is vouch-
ed for by some one the jOintists can
trust.
Lon Townsend, king of the jointists,
has left the city but whether to stay
or not is not known. He has been
quite sick and his case has been post
pOned on that account, but some of his
friends say that he will not be here
when it is called for trial No one
seems to know where he has gone or
what his intentions were when he left

CHASED THE MATRON.
| Exciting Tussle With a Drunken and
Infatuated Colored Woman.

Mary Johnson a colored woman who
was brought to the city jail last night
at 10:15 o'clock by Special Officer Bout

Matron Thorpe, who was sent for to at
tend the woman, and had it not been
for the prompt action and strength of
Jailer John Dagg there would probably
have been a tragedy.
officer Boutwell, found the woman at
Second and Kansas avenue. She was
drunk and was yelling and screaming.
Boutwell, arrested her and with great
difficulty took her to police station.
She was left in Jailed Dagg's charge.
When Police Matron Thorpe was noti-
fed that a female prisoner was at the
Jail she went to the prison to make ar
rangements for keeping her. AS she
entered the jailer'S office Mary johnson
stood in front of the wire grating of the
desk smoking cigarette and indulging
in loud and prOfane talk. Mrs. Thorpe
began searching the woman and order
ed her to throw away the cigarette.
She refused, and became violent. There
was no one at police station but Jailer
Dagg, the police matron and the pris-
Oner. The woman attacked Mrs.
Thorpe and ran her from the Jail office,
swearing to kill her. Mrs. Thorpe dodg-
ed a vicious blow aimed at her head.
Jailer Dagg clinched with her and a
struggle followed. The woman is pow
erful, and it taxed the jailer's strength
to hold her. He tried to take her up
the front stairs to the women's ward,
but found that she was too drunk to be
trusted in a place where the bars are
on the outside of the windows and no
steel cage was built for such people.
Struggling and fighting, using the vi
lest language Imaginable, Mary John
son was forced down the stairs to the
steel cage in the basement of the Jail.
There she was locked in and spent the
night. During the time she was at
Second and Kansas avenue and also
during the struggle with the jailer she
received several small cuts and bruises
on her head and body. This morning
she had sobered considerably and was
taken to the wOmen's ward Her trial
was continued until tomorrow. She
was released on bond furnished by
Andy Dupree, of Smoky Row.
Police Matron Thorpe speaking of her
experience wAh the woman, said: Il
don't know what would have happened
if Mr.. Dagg hadn't been a strong man.

ORDER XRAY MACHINES.
Spain Will Likely Make Large Pur-
chases in This Country.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 25.-The Fessen-
den Manufacturing company of Pitts
burg has received from the Spanish
consul in New York a request for
an equipment of X-ray apparatus for
ship, hospital and field service. The
figures were furnished.
Professor Reginald A. Fessenden said
today: IF we get the order we will
rush it. This is a peculiar case. If
wounded SpaniardS in our hospitals are
given the advantage of the X-ray ap-
paratus there are no reason why Amer
leans taken to Spanish hospitals should
not also get the benefit of it,
The FeSSenden company is making
about 100 X-ray machines for the Unit
ed States government. Many are eS-
pecially designed for field work and can
be run by storage battery. The X-ray
machine, it is said. will be a great boon
to American soldiers in this war.

Chicago Civil Service Commission
Takes Steps to Reduce Expenses

Chicago April 25.-Fffty of the 1856
patrolmen recently dropped to reduce
the expenses of the police department
will be stricken from the eligible list
for reappointment.
The civil service commission has dis
covered a section of the law which AL

with bad records scratched from the
list at any time. Acting under this sec
ton the board will decline to allow so
of the eligibles to stand for reappoint-
ment because of alleged bad records.
The board Saturday discharged the

their removal by ex-President Kraus.
Politicians were never so scarce in
Topeka as they have been during the
past few weeks. They are racing mad
