upon. and that the friends of C. NJ.

he had the prestige of one term in the
senate and a large following in the Peo-
pies party and many friends in the
Democratic party.
It soon began to be nOised about that
Mr. Hitchcock was an aspirant, but
this was not taken seriously at first
Now it is given out in what has prev
iOuSly been Well-infOrmed circles that
the appointment is certain TO go to him.
Allen has just been elected to the dis
trict bench and Hitchcock's friends in
sist that he should serve out at least
a portion of his term. Hitchcock and
his Democratic supporters insist that
the place is due to the Democratic par

Hayward was 50 years old and has lived
in Nebraska City for thirty two years.
Although a lawyer by profession. he
made his wealth largely through in
vestments in land in Nebraska and
Kansas. His election to the United
States senate was his first appearance
in national politics.
He was defeated for governor by
Poynter two years ago reducing the
fusion majority from $4,000 to 5000
When the last legislature was found to
be Republican Mr.. Hayward announced
his candidacy for the United States
senate and the fight which followed
was one of the bitterest in the history
of the state. The long drawn out eau
Gus deadlock finally resulted in his Sc
lection but soon afterwards he was
stricken with paralysis while address
ing political meeting.
Senator Hayward was a veteran Of
the civil war, serving in the Twenty
second regiment of New York volun-
teers and later in the Fifth cavalry.
He married Miss Jennie PeIton of Put
nam county, New York, in 49, and his
widow and two sons survive him.

A SMALLPOX CARD.
DR.. RICHTER Would Not Allow
ChickenpOx Sign Put Up.

On the front of one house in Topeka
there is a big red card on which ap
pears the word Smallpox" 1t is No.
?, Pleasant Place a small cluster of
dwellings between jefferson and Adams
and Third and Fourth streets, and a
case of the disease now prevalent in To-
peka exists there. The card was placed
on the house Dy order of the attend
ing physician. DR.. w. H. Fighter, who
pronounced the case smallpox and who
refused to allow the usual - Onickenpox'
sign to be tackled up.
DR.. RICHTER says there is no doubt
of the disease being smallpox. The case
is similar to other cases in Topeka
The cold weather of the past as hours
has had the effect of spreading the dis
ease to the extent of a dozen cases.
This is another indication that it is d
mild form of smallpox, as smallpox
thrives in cold weather The sanitary
officers state, however, that the num-
Der of cases fumigated is greater than
the number of new cases reported.
A case was reported this morning
from 1923 North o Topeka avenue and
guards requested to patrol the premises.
1t is looked upon as a case OF smallpox.

CONSOLIDATED.
Three Big Telephone Companies
United Into One.

New York, Dec. 5.-The World says:
The Peoples Telephone corporation, the
Knickerbocker Telephone company and
the American Telephone, Telegraph and
Gable company were consolidated last
night at a meeting of the directors OF
the three corporations.
The consolidated companies will be
operated in New York under the name
of the Peoples Telephone, Telegraph
and Gable company.
They will be open for telephone busi-
ness in New York on New Years day,
and have already seven thousand con-
tracts with New York city subscrib-
ers.
In New York city they will charge
800 a year for unlimited service and
$50 for limited service. The New York
Telephone company, known as the Bell
company, charges $240 for unlimited
and $50 for limited service. The new
concern proposes to transmit long dis
tance messages for so per cent of the
rate now charged by the Long Distance
Telephone company, which is the name
outside New York for the Bell corpora
tiOn.
The new telephone company has a
mighty surprise in store for its high
priced rival and for citizens of New
York in general.
When last Sunday was five minutes
old it began laying its wires throughout
the length and breadth of the city in
the conduits of the Metropolitan Trac-
ton company.
All through the early hours of the
morning and all the hours up to mid
night they worked in shifts of eight
hours each and when the day had ended
their wires were under ground, where
no court in the land could "enjoin them
out"
More than 100000 worth of wire was
laid in the tWenty-fOur hours.
Ever since then, in darkness or day
light, the labOrers and mechanics have
been employed beneath the surface fast
ening together the ends of the various
sections of wire. They We're working
last night and will be working till this
morning.
The Bell people have for months been
preparing to give the outsiders a bitter
fight before permitting them to lay their
wires in the streets of New York. A
fight might have delayed them months
in getting down to a working basis. 1t
was not until yesterday. when the
wires were all safely beneath the sur
face, that the projectors were able to
open for business January l.
The consideration was financed by the
City Trust company. The capital stock
is 60,O00 600. William c. Whitney,
whose withdrawal from telephone in
terests was announced several days
ago, was very much in it when it came
to consolidation yesterday. The Whit

IS MILLER CAUGHT?
Chicago Detective Positive of
His Capture in Montreal
Contrary RumOrs.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Early in the morn
ing General Manager Sutherland of the
detective agency first wired that Mil
Ter had been located in Montreal and
that the Identification was complete.
Later in the day another message an
nOunced that he had been safely lodged
behind the bars.
No details have been received con-
cerning the chase and final location of
Millr, who left Brooklyn November "a,
at the very moment a policeman had
entered his office for the purpose of ar
resting him upon a charge of swim
ding.
After the announcement of the cap
tUre was made Chicago the wires to
Montreal and New York were kent busy
by newspapers wanting to learn par
ticulars of the arrest, but nothing in
confederation could be obtained from
either city This failure to verify the
truth Of the local agency's information
Brown easily explained on the theory
that the detectives had started at once
with their captive across the border
into American territory.
He supported this theory with the
statement that in the telegram an
nouncing the arrest superintendent
Sutherland had directed certain papers
in the case be forwarded in duplicate to
the Windsor hotel at Montreal for the
detectives and to the New York offices
of the agency.
Whether or not Miller consented to
waive extradidon I am cOnfident the
chances are that he is being shed
toward New York rather than be kept
under cover in Montreal" said Mr.
Brown. AT all events there is not a
shadow of doubt in my mind that the
capture has been effected"
