Jacob l. Kesner. a prominent merchant,
charged with offering ex-Alderman Man
gler bride to vote for an ordinance
affecting the interests of the General Elec-
tIict Street Railway company, Mayor
Harrison was the chief witness.
He testified that on the day before the
General Electric street railway ordinance
came up for consideration in the coun-
Gil and for attempted passage over his
veto, he talked with former Alderman

and take the necessary steps to make
the collection. The attorney was pre-
movements were attended by the most
absolute secrecy.
Judge Vandervert threatened to apply
to the district court for a receiver for
the paper unless a settlement was made
at once and lively time ensued.
The managers Of the paper finally
raised IS, 900 which was paid to Judge
Vandervert and he left Topeka with this
money for Mr.. Houston and a promise
that the rest would be paid soon.
During Sheldon week the business
mana cement of the Topeka Capital was
in charge of Dell Keller Since that time
Mr.. Keller has retired from the Capital
company, and when Judge Vandervert
presented his claim this week 1t was
claimed that it was through negligence
on the part of the former business man
ager that the debt had not been looked
after.
This Mr.. Keller emphatieally denies.
When seen today he said concerning the
matter:
when I left the business manage
ment of the Capital there was sufficient
money in the treasury to pay Mr.. Hous-
ton. He was not paid within the time
specified in his contract for the reason
that adjustment had to be made with
several advertisers, and it was not
known what he was entitled to. A pay
ment was made Mr.. Houston, and after
that I suggested making further pay
ments as the advertising accounts were
settled However, other members of the
board thought it was better to wait I'M
til the entire matter had been closed up
1T is preposterous to say that I was
in any way responsible for the delay in
paying Mr.. HOustOn's account. I can
scarcely believe that any member of the
Capital company would make such a
claim
Besides handling the eastern advertis-
ing Mr. Houston looked after the dis
trlputlon OF the paper among Christian
Endeavor and other church organfza-
tions. His work was particularly valu-
able, and the biggest portion of the rev.
enue of the week came from the east
Whether Mr.. Sheldon is aware that
debts are still standing as a result of his
peculiar experiment is not known How
ever it's only reasonable to suppose that
if he has the knowledge he has insisted
before this on the payment of the
claims. Mr.. Sheldon's motto: What
would Jesus do?" might be applied.

WANT AN EXCHANGE.
Soldiers Home Directors Apply For
Transfer of Inmates.

The directors of the state soldiers
home at Dodge City called on Governor
Stanley today and requested the COVER
nor to correspond with the managers of
the national military homes to aScer-
tain if a change of inmates can not be
effected.
In the national home there are some
Kansas men who have wives and they
desire to effect an exchange by which
they can be taken into the state home
on transfer.
The Kansas home contains a number
of single men who desire to get into
the national home and these are the
reasons why the exchange is being
talked about.
The rules Of the national home pro-
hibit such exchanges but the regulations
of the Kansas home do not. The board
of directors hopes to be able to adjust
this matter and the governor has been
asked and will respond to the request
to see what can be done.
