SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

The blizzard which swept over the
city Wednesday evening did not succeed
in congealing the ardor of the patriotic
Daughters of the American Revolution
who gathered at the residence of Geo.
d Hale, on West Tenth street, to cele-
brate Washington's birthday
The arch between the two front rooms
was beautifully draped with two large,
handsome flags which are the property
of the Daughters" Over the fireplace,
from mantel to ceiling, hung another
large flag, from the center of which was
suspended the Charter of the Topeka
chapter. The whole was lighted up by
a row of wax candles set in silver can
dlesticks on the mantel beneath. The
warm, rich colorings of the decorations,
the palms and the flags, together with
the enthusiasm and good cheer dis
played within, were in strong contrast
to the raging elements without.
The following programme was ar
ranged and carried out by the toast
mistress, Mrs. NJ. NJ. Miller after which
sandwiches, salad and coffee were
served and social evening spent:

CAN MISS SMITH COLLECT /?
DR.. Lowry Not Thought to Be Worth
Half the Judgment

Kansas City, Feb.24.-The close Of the
suit of Miss Smith against DR.. Lowry
by the dentist consenting to confess
judgment as announced yesterday, Gre
ated a sensation indeed.
Nothing now remains but to seize up
on DR.. Lowry's property and satisfy the
judgment.
DR.. Lowry announced as his reason
for terminating the suit in that way
that he was unwilling to have Miss
Sayde Anderson and her family dragged
into any further notoriety, but it is
known that Miss Smiths lawyers were
in possession of evidence that he feared
to have introduced, and he was afraid
that if the trial continued it might be
brought out on croSS-eXamication.
Instantly there was a loud buzz OF as
tonished comment in the court room,
and jurors and spectators looked sur
prised.
The heavy veil that Miss Smith wore
did not hide the smile of pleasure that
came to her face at the announcement
She leaned over to her attorney, John
w. Beebe, and asked:
DO you believe this is genuine?'
"Oh, yes;'' said Mr.. Beebe. ANY
thing that Mr.. Karnes says goes"
II believe that too" said Miss Smith,

STATE TO COMPROMISE
With Defaulting Debtors If the Bill
Recommended in Committee
of the Whole Passes

The house committee of the whole has
recommended for passage the bill pre-
providing for a commission of three to
investigate and report the condition of
the state permanent school fund, and
authorizing the compromise of the in
tereSt on these bonds. The bill met with
considerable opposition and brought out
a lengthy debate. 1t was introduced as
a result of the report OF the committee
on state affairs concerning the defaulted
bonds in the state school fund.
The principal reason urged against
the bill was that if the state comprom-
ised with one defaulting county it
would simply be an incentive to other
counties to default their bonds.
In opposition to this argument, the
friends of the bill claimed that it was
absolutely impossible for some of the
western counties to keep up their inter-
est.
Il represent one of the insolvent
counties of the state" said Mr.. Starr
of Scott I'VE do not deny it, but some
of you people of eastern Kansas helped
times the people of Scott county went
in for big bonds. Then came the col
lapse, and as per cent of the people
moved back here to eastern Kansas to
live off their wives folks, leaving the
other IS per cent to hold the sack. Our
real estate is assessed for twice its
real value. You can go out there and
buy farms for from one-third to one
half of what they are assessed for Scott
county is overwhelmed with bonds, and
we will have to compromise in some
way. If we can get our interest thrown
off we will try to raise the principal
some time
Mr.. Brooke said: ''This is simply
business proposition and should be
treated in a business way. AS far as
Shawnee county is concerned this COM
mission is not needed. All the defaulted
bonds in Shawnee county belong to
few school districts adjacent to Topeka
and they will all be paid"
This brought Mr.. Gregory to his feet
This is business proposition-I don't
think" he said. 1T is not business.
To tell the truth, I think it is plain
steal If this legislature should pass
a law authorizing a debtor of mine to
settle for less than he owes me, it would
be wrong. That is what this bill does
authorizes debtors of the state to settle
for less than they owe. 1 say it is dis
honest-dishonest as HI Mr.. Greg
DRY brought out the words slowly and
deliberately, and did not mean them in
any profanse sense.
Mr.. Babb had a little fun with the
Republicans by moving that the COM
miSSioners should all be of different po-
Ettcal parties, but he was speedily sat
upon by the majority.
The appropriation for the commits
sioners was reduced to $1,000, and their
compensation fixed at SO per day in
stead Of S., as the original bill pro-

superintendent of the State House
Grounds Must Go.

The senate ways and means commit
tee has decided that no appropriations
will be made for the head janitor and
superintendent of the state house
grounds, but will recommend that the
position of custodian be created, to take
the place of the two positions named,
one man to do the work of two.
The janitors and other attaches of the
capitol have an office on the first floor
of the building where type writer's and
other first-class furniture are kept for
their use. They put on as much style
as the governor. In fact more ceremony
is required to get into the office of the
chief janitor" than is imposed upon
the governors callers.

COOKIES BILL UP AGAIN.
Plan to Make the State Go Into the
Real Estate Business

Senator Cooke proposes by legislative
enactment to place the state in new
line of business-that of loaning money
upon real estate in Kansas.
The funds which Senator Cooke
wants to apply in this direction are
those belonging to the permanent school
fund and now lying idle in the state
treasury. He thinks this money could
be made to earn a large amount of in
terest annually were it loaned on ap-
proved real estate security.
This bill has been up once or twice
before the senate prior to this time but
its discussion has not yet ended and
the senate will again take it up. 1t is
likely to be killed at the end of the de-
bate
