OLD FOLKS CHRISTMAS
Mrs Thorpe Makes Annual Distribu-
ton of Food and Clothing.

1t was Christmas at Mrs Thorpe's
rooms in the police station again this
morning, but it was not the merry,
laughing Christmas that it was yester-
day when the little ones got their toys
and candy. This morning the old people
came for their presents which consisted
of clothing and canned goods.
There was not so many of the old
folks as there were children and they
were very quiet. They did not come as
early as the little ones but they seemed
just as anxious to get their presents
They waited patiently until their arms
were filled with clothing. hardly saying
a word unless Mrs. Thorpe spoke to
them. After they had been waited upon
they would shuttle out muttering a
thank you"
The room back of the matron's Office
was almost filled with clothing and a
great deal of it was in good repair There
were a lot of new wooden socks and
stockings which were valued highly by
the old people. About rs called at tie
rooms this morning and they were all
waited upon by Mrs Thorpe personally
The great majority of the callers were
women. Occasionally an old man would
climb up the steps, but there were onlv
eleven men who called

MOREHOUSE TALKS.
Republican Senator Believes Legisla-
tive Session Will Be Long.


George p. Morehouse. of Council Grove
is IN the city today on his way home
from Missouri. He is the new Repubh-
can senator for Morris, Chase and Mar
ion counties. Mr.. Morehouse said.
y believe one Of the principal results
which will be accomplished win be
thorough revision OF the assessment ara
taxation laws of the state, 80 as to bring
about abe valuation OF property at
something like its real value. / look
for the restoration of the state railroad
commission, though probably positions
on the board will be made elective in
stead of appointive. There also will be a
charge made in the election law so as to
prevent the placing OF any candidates
name on the official ticket more than
once. Such a law is now in force In Illi-
nois and in Ohio This will effectively do
away with fusion.
Il don't take any stock in the talk
about adjourning after the election Of
senator Members of Kansas legislatures
don't believe in adjourning early. There
is considerable legislation to be accom-
plished and we will take our time and
consider it all carefully"

AN OLD MURDER
Brought to Prominence by Confession
of the Perpetrators.

Glare, Mich, Dec. 27.-The man whose
murder II. Green confessed in Sacra-
mentO yesterday was Owen Feeny ir
stead of Bill Feeny. Feeny had been on

considerable money. He boarded a. train
that night for the lumber camp where he
was employed and was never seen again
alive. Search was begun and a hole was
discovered in the ice on a small lake
near the lumber camp, but the body
could not be found. The following day
Feeny'S body was found in the lake with
throat cur and skull fractured. His
money was missing. This taIlies with
Green's confession to the Sacramento
police, as he told them that he and his
brother Knocked Feeny in the head and
cut his throat. Green is unknown in
