Garwood Ferris, the engineer who as
sisted the Street and Water Board in their
deliberations over the water bid was
with the Mayor this morning discussing
the figures he had prepared and those
furnished by M Lebbeus Ward in refer

supply.
Mr. Ferris told The Mayor that the fig
ures he had prepared were strictly ac-
curate and assuming even that Mr..
Wards were true instead Of their beng
absurdly false, they would furnish a good
argument why the Board of Finaacd
should concur in the award and the

THAT PIANO SCANDAL.
MIR. Holmes slee instrument
Can Now Be Seen by Any
one Interested.
Mayor Hoos this morning received the
following letter from w. z. Holmes OF
the Bradbury Piano Company:-

Ihe BradDury1 Piano COmpany.-
The piano purchased from Bush &
Gerts in Chicago IS now in our ware
roonlS. II you desire to inspect the
same or have the committee appoint
ed by the Board of Education inspect
it, we shall take great pleasure in
exhibiting it.
The Mayor forwarded the communica-
-tion to the Board of Education. The sug-
gested inspection will doubtless be made.
The piano purchased by Mr., Holmes cost
s1s9 including freight charges to this city.
The Board Of Education paid $3.50 apiece
for p-anos very similar. The finish of the
Board of Education's pianos is said to be
finer than that of the Holmes instrument.
A rigid investigation is to be made.

PECULIAR ATLMENT.
Surgical Science Will Be Given a
Severe Test in New York.

New York, July 25.-Surgical science will
be tested to the utmost limit to effect
cure in the case of William Morgan, a
private patient in Bellvue hospital. Mr..
Morgan is suffering from neuritis and a
progressive form of paralysis which. if
not relieved, will end in death in a few
months.
The ailment is rare. The direct cause
of the malady is two gunshot wounds
which Mr. Morgan received in a hand-to-
hand fight with Joe Castelane, desper-
ado, near Guatemala City. Central Amer
lea, two years ago.
Mr.. Morgan came here from Guatemala
on Sunday with E. T. Hoppe a wealthy
coffee planter of Costa Rica, who is deep
ly interested in having his friend restored
to health. Mr.. Morgan, who is a wealthy
railroad contractor, built the northern
section of the Guatemalan railway in con-
junction with Sylvanus Miller, who died
in this city several weeks ago.
A physical examination of the patient
made by Doctors Chisholm and Alexan-
der on Tuesday revealed only two depres-
sions in the left side, inch apart, on
line with the heart, where the bullets had
entered. This morning Mr.. Morgan was
subjected to the ROentgen ray, but the
conditions We're not favorable and nothing
definite was determined. 1t is believed
the x ray will have to be used again
to settle the location of the bullets.
The parts of the body affected are the
legs and digestive organs, and from these
symptoms the surgeons believe that one
of the bullets is located in the spine, be-
tween the shoulder blades, and the other
is near the cacyOp, the terminal vertebra
of the spinal column. The doctors be-
lieve the bullets are slowly forcing an en-
trance between the vertebrae, and unless
they are removed will sever or so injure
the spinal cord that the operation of all
the vital organs will be stopped.

1t is the purpose to make this the
first of many jubilees. 1t is the inten-
ton of the MOdocs to give the jubilee

Owing to the fact that there is no hall
in Topeka large enough it will be nee
essary to give the first series of con-
tests at Garfield park.
There will be entertainments of va
riOus kinds to fill in the time between
the contests and the management ex-
poets to consume three days and even
ingS with the jubilee.

OPPOSES EXPANSION.
Judge David J. Brewer Gives His
Views of New Policy.

Milwaukee, July 25.-JuStice David J.
Brewer of the United States supreme
court is opposed to the policy of annex
alton and expansion. In an interview
on this subject he said:
1 think we may have to take posses
sion Of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil
lpp1nes as a war measure and for the
purpose OF getting indemnity. I should
look upon all except Cuba simply in the
same light as I would on a mortgage
upon mans farm; 1 would fOreclose
that mortgage, not because wanted to
take the farm, but for the reason that
wanted the farm to sell in order to
raise the money. do not see how
spain will ever be able to pay us an
indemnity, and so 1 would take her real
estate. think it is consistent with our
policy, and it is certainly necessary,
that we should keep Cuba for a while
ana nave an army there in order to
maintain good order. AS far as Cuba
is concerned, although we passed a res
olutlon that we did not inaugurate this
war with the idea of acquiring terri
tory but simply. to relieve the people
from spanish rule, think the same
spirit of humanity which prompted the
war will compel US to keep a force in
CUBA until they have organized a sta
pie government. There are more than
$4,000 people on the island, and it will
take some time to get a stable govern
ment. We may demand possession of
those islands as security for the pay
for the sake of order, but when those
objects are accomplished think we
should let them go.
I do not believe in colonial expan-
sion at all. 1 think however, Hawaii
stands under different circumstances.
My objections to colonial expansion are
twofold. You take the Philippines with
from 100000 to 10000 600 of people;
Cuba, with more than 100000, and
Porto RicoQ do not remember the num-
ber), and there is but one way to man
age those people. That is by force, just
as England manages Egypt, south At
RIGA and India to great extent. Their
government over these colonies is ar
bitrary, despotic we may call it. They
appreciate the necessity of good gov
eminent and govern wisely, but for all
that it is not a government of the peo-
pie.
Il do not see how we can Initiate that
kind of colonial control without chang
ing our theories of government. For
the territory we have hitherto taken we
have introduced a territorial system of
government, a territorial Legislature,
government of the people 1 do not
think that can be done with those peo-
pies and 1 think it will be introducing
a new system into our policy"

sources, official and otherwise, on every
conceivable phase of the war problem that
could possibly be of interest to the presf-
dent and the officials of the government.
The press associa lions send all their inn
portant news bulletins directly from their
Offices to Mr.. Montgomery's desk, and from
there they are at once placed before the
president at any time during his waking
hours. Much of the information that
comes is duplicated from various sources,
but it is all of the greatest interest, and
the president feels that already the war
room has been of incaIculable service.
Here the cabinet consultations take place.
and there is hardly hour that some of
the officials of the government are not
studying the maps or reading the official
and unofficial news bulletins that pour
in over the many special wires Nothing
can take place in any quarter of the globe
that affects in any way the situation with
out the president knowing it instantly.
The war room is thus becoming a most
important adjunct to the military admin

MRS. CAGES WORK.
She Furnishes a Room deliberately IN
Stormont Hospital.

The most elaborate and comfortable
hospital ward in Topeka has been fit
ted up at the Jane G. StOrmont hospital
by Mrs. Helen Louise Gage, wife of G.
G. Gage.
Mrs. Gage conceived the idea of do
ing something to brighten the hours of
unfortunates during their stay in the
hospital and she visited the hospital
and with the approval of the hospital
authorities selected the brightest and
most cOmmOdiouS room in the building
She put men to work and the walls
were tinted a delicate sky blue, the
wood work was sand papered and en-
ameled white. The floor was carefully
polished. The room was then furnished
with two white swell front iron bed
steads. The beds will be cared for by
the donor and ultimately endowed.
There are costly rugs in front of the
beds and an oak dresser, center table
and washstand and a screen between
the beds with several easy rockers
completes the furniture of the room
Mrs. Gage was not satisfied until she
purchased a set of beautiful china, sill
yer spoons, napkins, glassware and
everything necessary to furnish ta-
bic for the occupants of the room.
After the work had been copleted
Mrs. StormOnt visited the room and
expressed her appreciation of what had
been done. The medical and surgical
staff of the hospital also passed reSolu-
lions of appreciation.

Representative S9th district-E. D.
McKeever.
County commissioner-Scott Kelsey.
While the returns have not been fully
tabulated the majOritieS are large
enough to take away any shadow or
doubt as to the result. On but one
place was the fight at all close and that
was the county commissioner contest,
the candidates being Scott Kelsey ana
George A. Anderson, both prosperous
farmers. Secretary Clancy said this
morning that the complete unofficial re-
turns show that Kelsey was nominated
by IA majority. While the result was
close there is no likelihood that it Will
be changed materially by the Official
count.
The fight really centered on county
attorney and probate judge County
Attorney Jetmore was a candidate for
denomination and his opponent was II
man fought for denomination against
Justice of the Peace John L. Guy.
The unofficial returns indicate thaC
Jetmores majority is about $50 Whlle
DOlman secured a denomination py
about the same majority.
Major Tom Anderson led the ticket
with majority of $50. The fight on
Major Anderson was made by the
churches and was such a one that II
added to his strength rather than
weakened him. His opponent, Tom NC
Neal made a gallant fight, but 1t was
against heavy odds. Major Anderson 5
personal popularity and long residence
in the county gave him an advantage.
The returns came in very slowly ana
at noon today the precincts OF Dover
and South Mission had not been re-
ceived. Both precincts are small ones
so that whatever the result may nave
been it will not materially AFFECT the
result. Unofficial returns on county
commissioner were received from both
precincts.
The tabulated vote kept by Secretary
CLANCY of the Republican county CEN
trail committee so far as completed
shows the following totals:
Dolman, 2,177; Guy, 1,542; Oolman
majority, 635.
