in the leg. They could not get the coun-
ty to take the case and when the case
was sent to the hospital the commission
ers refused to pay the bill. AS an ex-
cuse they say Mr.. Hale did not o. K. the
bill, but they do not say why Mr.. Hale
did not take care Of the case.
There is q quarrel between the city
and county authorities concerning the
care of the INDECENT poor and no ore
knows it better than the authorities of
the city. They have been trying for two
years to get the commissioners to make
arrangements of the kind they say they
have made but have been unsuccessful
Some time ago the city attorney ad-
vised the police to carry the INDECENT
leave them there, and Mayor Drew said
this morning that the police would has e
to do this in the future unless some ar
rangement was made.
The commissioners state that they are
guarding the peoples money, which is
very true, but they seem to be working
overtime at it. There is not a tax payer
in the county who would object to hay
ing the expense of caring for a poor
wounded man charged up to the county.
They also failed to state that last year
they transferred a part of the money
which was collected for the purpose of
caring for the. poor into the general rev
enue fund.
The commissioner should see that
some arrangement is made with the po-
lice and city physician so that cases
could be taken care of promptly without
wasting a day in red tape.

BLOCKS OF FIVE. !"
w. W. Dudley, Known to Fame
Is Employed.
Will Conduct G. w. WheatIey's
Contest For Congress.

George w. Wheatley who will contest
the election of A. NJ. Jackson to con-
gress from the Third district, has not
the backing and endorsement Of the Re
publican politicians. True, some of the
Republicans encourage WheatIey, but
the majority of them are opposed to the
proceedings.
Wheatley has engaged w. w. Dudley
of Indiana, noted in political history as
Blocks of Five Dudley, to take charge
of his case.
Judge jackson has engaged Eugene
Hagan of Topeka to defend against
Wheatley's claims.
J. Mack Love, chairman of the Dem
ocrat1c state committee, JackSOn'S law
partner, who will assist in the defense,
says Jackson will show that Wheatley's
defeat was due principally to unpopu-
larity. Jackson will exhibit the files of
the Republican paper in Wheatley'S
town which, during all the campaign,
accused Wheatley of embezzlement and
sundry other things, and Jackson will
also show that among Republicans with
in the party there were many prominent
men who were openly opposing Wheat
ley.
The managers of the Wheatley cam
paign charge fraud and illegal practices
in connection with the election of Jack
son.
In opposition to this Jackson will try
to prove that he spent only $3.50 in the
campaign in addition to his personal
expenses he Will alSO SHOW anu at
tempt to prove that the Repuh, AN
managers spent thousands of dollars in
the district.
In this feature of the case appears the
cause of the Republican opposition to
the contest. 1t is claimed that the money
sent to the district was not used judic-
iously. Chairman Albaugh furnished
much money and was greatly chagrineG
when it was announced that the district
was lost. Albaugh was confident that
the Republicans would win that contest
The Republicans close to the throne
say wisdom in the expenditures would
have won the district, so some of them
do not favor the contest proceedings,
which they hold would have been I'M
necessary had the campaign been prop
erly managed.
This feature Of the case leaked out
during the campaign. There were many
discussions concerning it among the Re
publican contributors to the campaign
fund, but repeated assurances that the
money was necessary resulted in more
extended donations. Three thousand dol
lars comprised the first amount sent to
the district, but the amount was later
increased by the state committee.

The Dearness.of Rutter.

One of the most eminent authorities
on consumption DR.. Hughes Bennett, of
London, made the remark that 1.-THE
main causes of consumption are the
DEAFNESS of butter and the abundance of
pastry cooks 1t is evident from this
that the doctor believed that the poor
and underfed are unable to obtain suffi-
cient fat while the digestion Of the
wealthy class is upset by their rich
pastries so that they do not assimilate
the proper amount of fat. In either case
it is a question of fat We must have
fat in some form cheap enough for the
poor, and easy enough for the enfeebled
digestion of the rich Cod liver oil in its
crude condition is both too difficult and
too unpleasant for any one, but in the
form of Scott's Emulsion as manufac-
tured by Scott & Bovine, it is not only
easy to digest, and pleasant to take, but
acts as a medicine in purifying the blood
as well as the very best kind of fat
forming food

NOW THEY'RE DODGING.
County Commissioners Wish to
Shift Responsibility.

The county commissioners have issued
a statement regarding the expenditures
of public money for the relief of the in
digent poor of the city. They say that
some questions have arisen regarding
the manner in which they are doing the
business and attempt to explain by say
ing that there is no disposition on the
part of the commissioners from the
country districts to discriminate against
the city; that the city and county au-
thcritieS are not quarreling and
that the trouble all arises
simply through the disallOwance of bills
which the county commissioners believe
to be unauthorized. They also state that
arrangements have been made by the
county to care for emergency cases.
If the last statement is true it is
strange that the police, the mayor or the
city physician have not been notified of
it. The police say they have never
heard of any such arrangement and to-
day would not know what to do with an
emergency case if they had to depend
upon the county for the care Of it. They
have tried a number Of times to get the
county to take care of the emergency
cases and have failed as often as they
have succeeded. AS an evidence of this
they cite the case of the poor colored
boy who was allowed TO remain without
attendance for 16 hours after being shot

ALICE BIDS GOOD BYE.
Final Performance of the Operetta
This Afternoon.


'Alice in Wonderland closed with a
matinee at the Grand opera house to-
day. The production was a success.
The entertainment proved a great
treat for the children. and as fast as
they finished their parts laid aside their
fancy costumes and spent the remainder
of the time in explorations of the opera
house. The cellar did not prove to be
a popular place. There was nothing
down there but a single dressing room
and the furnaces for heating the house,
SO the most of the time was spent in
the regions above the stage. They found
their way UP by means of narrow wind
ing stairs. Upon the first landing they
could look down upon the stage, about
twenty feet underneath. The miniature
actors and actresses found many things
to open their eyes in wonder. There
were all sorts of scenery and properties
used in making up a stage setting
scattered about, which they could not
make out nor understand.
One little fellow was found huddled
up in a corner of a pile of scenery, cry
ing as if his heart would break There
his mother found him.
What is the matter, dear?' she asked
in a sympathetic tone.
Il didn't Cboo hoO) get onto the stage
(boo hOo) in time, bo-o-o," he said
Which was true. He somehow got lost
from the chorus and did not go on with
them, and then it was too late. The
child was nearly heartbroken over the
dIEd1fs out the auOlence Old not miss
him.
Katherine Bennett made a hit with her
posing. The song and dance speciality
by the Nyes, Nellie May and Marvin,
was given several encores.
Miss D. Hope Leonard, under whose
direction "Alice in Wonderland" was
produced in this city, will next year go
on the road in a spectacular production
of the operetta with professional COM
pany of perhaps fifty people. She has
efforts
produce the operetta with local talent.
During the early part of the season Miss
Leonard carried a. professional juvenile
actress for the part of Alice" which
was taken by little Miss Florence Snat-
finger in the production in this city.
From Topeka Miss Leonard goes to
ST. Louis, where she will produce "Alice
in Wonderland for a week, matinees
and night, during the holiday week, at
the Odeon, one of the largest theaters in
