claims that ne went to live with his
mother in the old homestead house on
the Douthitt tract, and that his wife
refused TO go there and live with him.
His Wife's attorneys endeavored to
draw from the witnesses the fact that
the household made things SO unpleas-
ant that she could not live there The
court ordered the husband last winter
to pay his wife IS a month alimony
He paid the alimony two months, and
now says that he paid no more be-
cause he did not have the money He

away from her as she might kill my
mother
Did your wife get the food a sick
woman ought to have?"
We'll, what do you think a sick wo-
man ought to have2" replied the wit
ness
Corn beef and cabbage that would
do for a working man would hardly do
yer.
We'll, she got all she wanted and if
she wanted ice cream and that kind of
stuff she could get it"
Was anything said about your wife
going to Texas for her health?"
Yes
Did you say you would get her

I said I would get her a ticket one
way and when she wanted to come
back that would be another thing"

STIRS UP GAS COMPANY
Wanted to Be Notified About
Removal of Poles.

When Mayor Hughes issued an order
a few days ago, instructing Stree
Commissioner Snyder to remove all inc
iron street lamp posts in town and sell
them for old iron. he put his foot into
an unexpected trap which may make
trouble for him and for the city
The pole are gas light poles, and when
the street commissioner removed them
it was found that they were not dead
that is. the gas pipes were still connect
ed with the gas mains
This morning H 5. Morgan. the man
ager of the Excelsior Coke and Gas
company. which is now engaged in the
dollar gas litigation with the city. called
upon the city engineer and street COM
missioner and made a very emphatic
kick
why didn't you notify me that you
wanted to take down those poles?" said
Mr.. Morgan to Street Commissioner
Snyder
I did notify your employees at the gas
works. and they told me 70 go ahead
and take down the poles, and II found
any live ones TO plug them with wood
en- plug I did So" answered Mr. Sny-
der
retOrted Mr. Morgan What good do
YOU suppose it does to notify the people
down at the plantE They have no a1-
thority to give you any instructions
I suppose they are authorized to nou-
fy you what told them, said Mr. Sny-
der.
well, you have pulled up a lot of live
poles, and the gas has been going 70
waste. The city has no right TO do
that
Mr. Snyder insisted that he had
plugged all the live poles which he had
found but Mr.. Harrison would not be
satisfied until Mr. Snyder gave him
complete list of all the poles which it IS
proposed TO remove Mr. Harrison
agreed to see to it that the gas is cut
or from the poles
Mr. Snyder said this morning in
speaking of the situation: I removed
the poles because the mayor told me TO
do so. think that | gave the gas COM
pany sufficient notice Of my Intention
At any rate they had a general notice
some time ago to remove their dead
poles and failed to do So I do not be
Heve that any gas has been wasted, be-
cause We put in wooden plugs whenever
we found gas escaping from the end or
the pipes
Topeka used gas street lights on some
of the main streets just before electric
lights were introduced They have not
been used for fifteen or twenty years,
however The lamp posts have since
then remained on the street corners
Some think that the gas company
may try TO make trouble for the city on
account of the removal of the gas poles
Suit may be commenced tOrecOver dam
ages for the gas wasted and the pipes
injured.

TEN MILLIONS.
Capital Stock of Rock Island Is
Increased.
Company Pays So, in Char
ter Fees.
FOR THE EXTENSIONS.
Money to Be Used in Building
Branch Lines.
Topeka Officials Silent About
Proposed Projects.
FOR THE EXTENSIONS

The capital stock of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railway company
was Tuesday raised 10 millions of dol
lars, or from so millions to so millions
The sum of &, 100 in charter fees was
turned over to tie state treasurer to
cover the expense of amending the
charter to cover the increase in cap
italization.
The Rock Island is incorporated I'M
der the laws of Illinois and Iowa, and
the charter is on file in the office of the
secretary of state of Kansas The
check for the amount of charter fees
received by the state is signed by T. B.
Dixcy. assistant treasurer of the road
at Topeka, and is o. KID by NJ A
Low, general attorney of the COM
pany.
The increase in capitalization of the
company sets in motion again a number
of persistent rumorS to the effect that
the Rock Island is to build a number
of miles in cut-offs and branches IN
Kansas.
NJ A. Low is out of the city today. A
reporter for the State Journal called
at his office for confirmation of the
ton in Kansas. At the Office it was
learned that Mr. Low is spending the
day at his ranch at Horton
It is believed the increased capital
lZdClOn Is TO cover the expense Oh DulIO-
ing the Iowa cutoff that shOrtens the
Kansas City-Chicago line a distance of
so miles, and to pay for the construc-
ton of a proposed line from Jansen,
Neb-, to Herington, Kas. This would be
an almost direct north and south line,
and would probably pass through Clay
Center, Washington and Junction City
Such a line would be of advantage
to the Rock Island. Jansen and Her
ington are points where trains are
made up on the Rock Island Pas
sengers and freight coming over the
northern Iowa route of the Rock ISL
and via. Omaha for the south and south
west, would be sent over the cutoff
a [ Jansen to Harrington, where trains
would be made up for the southwest
line to FL Paso and the southern line to
Fort Worth, the ChickaSha and Indian
Territory country and Galveston.
This route would require the con-
struction of probably 120 miles of track,
and could be constructed for possibly
two millions of dollars.
Officials of the road in Topeka deny
any knowledge of the use to be made of
the money made accessible by the in
crease in capitalization

GUN CLUB SHOOT.
Halloween Vandals Destroyed Much
of the PROP erty.

The Topeka, Gun club held its regular
weekly shoot Tuesday. When the men,
bers arrived at the shooting grounds
they were disa greeably surprised to
find that the evil spirits of Halloween
had held shoot on that fateful
night, using the gun clubs property
and break king more clay birds than was
compatible with good breeding and true
craftsmanship. In fact about $50 worth
of birds and traps were destroyed by
the vandals. and hardly enough blue
rocks were left for the shoot. The gun
club members feel justly indignant, and
an effort is being made to locate the
trespassers. Several shooters tried their
skill at live pigeons, but the general
score was too low for publication.
Andy SchlegeI killed 3 out of 10, and
bore off the honors. At the blue rock
traps the following scores were made:
