BAPTIZED IN FIRE.
Experience of a Candidate for Initia-
ton in City Lodge.

A fire was discovered in the Office of
the city physician in the city building
last night and the prompt work of the
hremen with the chemical engine stop
ped what might have been a serious
cOnhagratiOn.
The fire was on the second floor of
the building. On the third floor a lodge
was in session. A candidate was TAX
ing the sublime degree of the posSessor
OF the royal secret. He had just ridden
the royal goat around the room and
had finished the third lap when the
royal goat threw his front feet out
straight, came to a sudden stop and
sent the candidate into a heap on the
floor. The goat SnOrted. His eyes blaz-
ed. The candidate was again put on his
back. The goat scented fire and threw
his stub of tail in the air snorted and
went straight for the door. Crash!
Through he went. The candidate was
wrecked. The room was full of smoke.
The smoke poured into the lodge room

shrine of Bumbinne. The Royal High
MatrOn of the Kings Pantry opened
the front window and looked out. There
was a fire engine in front of the build
ing and smoke was pouring out Of the
second story windows.
The Worshipful Bearer of the Wet
Sponge looked out of the side windows
and found the smoke coming out of the
lower windows. The Captain of the
Team blew his whistle and assembled
his braves to form a bucket brigade.
They ran to the ante-room and grabbed
the buckets. They were half filled with
water. They did not notice the candi-
date blindfolded and tied hand and foot
lying on the floor. Several buckets of
water were spilled on him. The excited
people and the goat and the royal white
elephant tramped on him The smoke
from downstairs filed the room where
he was and almost suffocated him.
Finally quiet was restored and the
Worshipful Bearer of the Wet Sponge
discovered the candidate. He was
freed and the blindfold taken off.

The fire was put out after a bookcase

MR.. MULLIGAN'S NEGLECT
To Square Himself With Uncle Sam
Causes Him Trouble.

Edward Mulligan, the proprietor OF
a store up at Holy Cross, a settlement
in Pottawatomie county about six miles
north of st. Marvs was arrested by
Deputy United States Marshal Prescott
Wednesday afternoon and brought to
Topeka on the charge of selling liquor
without a government license
Holy Cross consists of a store. post
office. church and two or three houses.
Mr.. Mulligan is the sole merchant. and
in order to have a complete department
store it is claimed by the federal Off
cials that he has been selling liquor
when he had no authority from the
government to do so.
It is said that he had a government
license in 1897, but has neglected to take
out one since.
Mr. MulIigan was released by United
States Commissioner Clark on a $500
bond, and he will have his hearing on
December 26, after his Christmas rush
is over.

INTERESTING DISPLAY.
A Window of Whites "BOy-
Vile"

The KelIam Book and Stationery
company at I'll Kansas avenue have a
unique and attractive book display IN
their south window. 1t is especially in
teresting to Topekans and other kan
sans because the most noticeable fea-
lures are those connected with that al
ready famous book, The Court OF
BOyville," q" and the author. William Al
len White of Emporia- The window IS
filled exclusively with the publications
of the Doubleday & Mcclure company
of New York. Prominent and OVerShad-
owing all the rest in this particular
window are the copies of BoyV1lle ana
the works of Kipling. Scores OF Whte's
book have been sold in Topeka but
enough remain in the window to make
it predominant in the exhibit-that IS
taking into consideration what belongs
to the display. There are half dozen
good photographs of the authOr-One IS
a snap shot at him at his desk in the
office of his paper, the EmpOrta Ga
zette. There are dozen sheets of the
original manuscript OF the book. There
IS the original drawing, by Lowell, OF
the elephant for which the boys carried
water to avoid the necessity of creep
ing under the canvas There is copy
of one of the big Mcclure ads-half
page-used in the New York papers in
advertising the book There are three
or four large Boyville posters and an
enlarged autograph of w. A. White
that looks as if it were written with a
circus tent stake dipped in black liquid
mud by the giant of the sideshow. This
autograph however is the product of
Kellam's window artist. There are
several autograph copies of the book
in the window.
The charm of the whole display, set
over in one corner, is a photograph of
Mrs. White. William Allen ought to
come to Topeka to see that window
but if he don't watch out and come
pretty quick all the Boyville books will
be sold and he could see nothing but
the pictures and things which set off
the display

THE GOLD MOVEMENT.

The Philadelphia Record. Demo-
cratic advocate Of the gold standard.
offers the following as an explanation
OF the renewal of gold exports:
There viii be various explana tions
OF the export of gold from this country
at time when trade statistics show
that We have been selling to foreigners
more goods than We have been buying
Of them. and ought, therefore. to have
a favorable balance. The simple ex-
PLANTATION is that gold is a commodity
the movement of which is determined
by demand and supply. There has
arisen an extreme demand for it in
Europe In America there is a redund-
ant supply. The gold flows in the di-
rection where the use Of it commands
the highest premium. The export
should neither create surprise nor
alarm. Not a dollar goes out of the
country which is not exchanged for a
dollars worth. We are no poorer hav-
ing sent out two or three million dol
lars worth of gold bars than If we had
sent out an equal value in cotton, corn
or pig IRON
The admission in such a quarter that
gold is a commodity rather than money
by divine intention is to say the least
Of 1t, remarkable. 1t has always been
the contention of the greenbackers that
the precious metals are commodities
and therefore unfit substances from
which to make money. The Records
view appears to be that gold Is a
commodity or money according to the
purpose to be served; that it is both
the substance and the shadow in one.

A VIOLATED CONTRACT.
Charge Made and Brought Against an
Elgin Farmer.

Independence. Dec. 21.-Henry Burns,
of Elgin, has commenced a damage suit
in district court against T. J. Booth.
He alleges that in June, 1898, he had
40 acres of fne wheat growing near Ell
gin. that he made a verbal contract
with Mr.. Booth whereby Booth was to
purchase a threshing machine and
thresh the wheat as soon as cut, at
seven cents per busheIs that Mr.. Booth
failed to comply with his contract and
that thereby his threshing was delayed
two or three weeks in which time wet
weather set in, a large portion of his
wheat was ruined, all of it damaged
and he had to pay 10 cents per bushel
for threshing.
He figures his damage at $1,000 and
wants NIr Booth to hand over that
amount.
