It Was Found on the Floor of the
Police Station

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan 25.-Prof. Day
of the Yale theological school recently
complained to the police that his copy Of
Martin Days famous ''DoomSday Book
had been stolen.
The book was printed in 1913 and only a
few copies are in existence. 1t is one of
the most valuable books in America.
Sergeant Daley of the detective bureau
in the collection of stolen books found in
the possession of Rev. James Britain Mil
Ter, the Yale theological student from
Ypsilanti, Mich, who was arrested last
month. A search revealed the precious
volume lying in pile of French novels on
the floor of the police station: Had the
book never been recovered, the Yale Ii
brary would have lost one of it's most pre-
ciouS possessions.
Miller's trial began today. He is
charged with stealing 5000 books.

A. POINT OF INTEREST
Decided in Connection With the Grain
Business.

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 25.-An arbitration
committee at the Merchants Exchange
today decided a novel point in a DIS
pute as to whether in a trade where a
shipper in the country, or of some out
side point agrees to deliver at st. Louis
grain of a certain grade ''or better can
purchase the lower grade mentioned in
St. Louis and deliver it on contract II
was decided that he could not. The
case grew out of a transaction made last
November wherein in December, after
prices had advanced, Gregg Brothers
of st. Joseph, Mo-, attempted to pur-
chase No. corn in this market to de-
liver on their contract with BLOCK,
Dean & Co. The latter refused to ac-
cept the corn, declaring it did not full
fill the terms of the contract. The ar
bitrators also decided that Gregg Bros.
must pay to Block, Dean & Co, the
sum of $242.19, which was the difference
between the contract price of the corn
and the price on the last day on which
the corn could be delivered on this con-
tract. The decision establishes a prece-
dent that will be of interest to grain

A Topeka audience discovered last night
why David Belasco'S Heart of Maryland
made an instantaneous hit when first pro-
duced and was accorded a place of per-
manency in public favor.
1t was done by summing up the effect
iveness of the performances at the Craw-
ford theater and rejecting on what it must
have been with the strong original cast and
the more complete accessories of the origi-
nal production.
Not that the cast last night was weak or
unSa tiSfactory, that the piece was not
appropriately staged. But company
made up almost entirely of younger mem
pected to give as thorough performance
as cast in which experience and success
were abundant qualities, and no attempt
is made. to carry cut all the small details
that characterized the performance in the
larger cities.
The audience of last night was by no
means as satisfactory to the company as
not sufficiently large to fill the house and.
more noticeable still to the performers, it
was not appreciative. After the fall of
the curtain on the first act it was raised
again for the two principals in the finale
to bow their acknowledgment, but in do
ing so they took a curtain call in every
sense of the word. The applause at the
it has been so customary to receive a
curtain call after the closing scene that
bowling their Acknowledgement has become
almost a part of the performance.

that the audience grew at all enthusiastic.

M'FADDEN A CANDIDATE.
City Clerk With a Good Record Will
Ask For denomination.

City Clerk McFadden has entered the
race for denomination at the Republican
city primary.
1t is conceded that it will be a diff
cult matter to defeat Mr.. McFadden.
There are few men in Topeka so COM
petent to fill this position. Clerk Nc
Fadden has taken special interest in
the affairs of the city and there is no
one who is so thoroughly familiar with
every detail of the city departments.
Topeka needs a good business man for
city clerk. An incompetent man would
soon have the affairs of the city in such
a tangle that it would take years to
straighten them out. The people want a
man in the clerks office who can do
the work and they should not be fright
ened by the bugaboo of third term or
anything of that kind.

TAKES IN RAILROADS.
They May Become Members of the
Live Stock Association.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 24.-It was 2
o'clock yesterday when President
Springer called the afternoon session
of the National Live Stock association
to order.
The report of the executive commit
tee was submitted, embracing the re-
ports of the recording secretary and the
treasurer Recording Secretary Charles
f. Martin in his report gave a review of
the work of the year showing how by
the uuremitting efforts of the executive
officers, aided by the membership and
the press, the association which started
a year ago, without a dollar and without
a name on it's membership rolls, has
grown to be powerful organization,
embracing nearly one hundred local as
sociations, out of debt, and with nearly
1000 in it's treasury. Mr.. Martin made
a number of suggestions regarding
changes in the bylaws and regulations
of the association. These suggestions
were adopted by the association. The
most important of these are the admis-
sion to membership of railroad and
transportation companies and change
in the laws to permit the appointment
of a board of control to consist of the
president and the secretary and three
members of the executive committee to
act for the executive committee in
minor matters.
Treasurer G. L. Goulding reported re-
ceipts for the year $1,S99, and disburse-
ments $685. leaving a balance of $685.
The report of the executive committee
went on to state that Denver had been
the association, the Denver Union Stock
Yards company having offered free Off
ces in its building and the Denver
Chamber of Commerce having agreed
to print and distribute the report of
this convention as it did that of last
year.
The remainder of the session was de-
voted to brief talks on the condition of
the drouth and stock in various states.
All reported the highest prosperity ex-
cept James H. Trow, of California who
said the drouth of last year had some
what crippled the industry in his state
but that the present outlook was bright.
Others who spoke were as follows:
Colorado, eX-Lieutenant Governor
Brusse; Nevada, J. E. Vickers; Idaho,
J. D. Wood; Kansas, Colonel Mccoy;
Missouri, J. r. Stroller and T. A. Allen;
