MORRIS AVENUE PAVEMENT
New Petition in Circulation Calling

AS result Of the adverse action on
the Morris avenue pavement petition

people living on that street will likely

old petition, and then some-' The
proposed new petition will provide for
an extension of the pavement from

was called for in the original petition
which was turned down.
This will make a strip of pavement
on Morris avenue from Sixth to
Eleventh street, giving Lowman Hill
a paved highway to the center of town.
The reason the original petition for
pavement from Sixth to Tenth was
turned down was because it called for
24-foOt pavement, and the council re-
fuses to allow any pavement less than
80 feet The new petition will ask for

DEBTS ARE BARRED.
Judge HaZen Decides the West
ern Farm Mortgage Case.

Judge Hazen this morning decided a
preliminary motion in the suit of Cath
crime Moore against the Western Farm
Mortgage and Trust company which
has been before the court since last
April.
The plaintiff sued the company on
two notes for 81 1000 The mortgage COM
pany went out of business in 1892. The
notes were due in 1900 and suit on them
was commenced last April. Attorney
Branaman demurred to the petition and
among other points claimed that the
debt was outlawed by the statute of
limitation. He claimed that the COM
pany failed and that the statute of
limitation ran against the notes, COM
mencing one year after the suspension
of the company The plaintiff claimed
that the'statute of limitation would not
commence to run against the notes I'M
til they were due.
The court held that where a COM
pany ceased to do business that the
statute of limitation would run against
debts undue as well as debts due, and
sustained the demur- The case Will
go to the supreme court.

M'KINLEY-KANSAS DAY.
Governor Stanley Plans to Have q
Double Observance

Governor Stanley is thinking of ask
ing the school teachers of the state to
give a Mckinley memorial and Kansas
Day programme on January 90 and set
aside that day to raise funds for the
Mckinley monument at Canton, Ohio,
which it is proposed to have the school
children of the nation build. The plan
he has it under consideration.
The birthday of the late president and
that of Kansas come on the same date,
January 29. 1t is quite fitting therefore,
gether. If each child in the schools of
Kansas should give a penny each it
would go a long way towards raising
the amount apportioned to Kansas by
the monument committee, 100000 Some
would, of course, give much more than
this, but others would probably give
nothing.

TOPEKA'S WEATHER MAP.
Government Directs That One Be
Issued.

The weather bureau Is issuing a
daily weather map from the Topeka Of
fee.
Some time ago Section Director Jen-
nings recommended That daily
weather map be issued from the To-
peka office The matter was taken up
by the authorities at Washington and
the Kansas City station was directed
to issue the map under the Topeka date
as the Topeka Office is not prepared for
the extra work. The printing of the
map in Kansas City delays it's distribu-
ton and the Topeka office does not re-
ceive them until two o'clock in the af
ternoon. The Topeka office will be
moved to new quarters in the federal
building this winter and it is expected
that when that is done arrangements
will be made for the issuing of a map
here each day with full Geographic re-
ports of conditions over the country.

ENDOF CHURCH ROW.
Colored Baptist Trouble Decided in
Favor of Buchanan Crowd.

Favor OF Buchanan Crowd.
Judge Hazen in the district court this
morning decided the New Hope Primi-
tive Baptist church case, colored in ia
vor of the Buchanan street faction.
This was the second trial of the
church row which was started in 1893.
At that time ''split" occurred in the
congregation and two factions was the
result The court was called upon to
property at Twelfth and Buchanan
streets, and the court decided. Then
Eli Ridley and the losers went over to
Lincoln street and started a church of
their own with fourteen members. The
Buchanan street faction continued to
worship at the old stand, and some
preached and some exhorted. On March
9, 1901 a Saturday afternoon, there was
a meeting at the Lincoln street church,
and the Lincoln street faction number
ing fourteen members was taken into
the Buchanan street church by a part
of the congregation present. Saturday
was not the regular meeting day of the
Buchanan street faction but was the
day of meeting for the Lincoln street
faction. The following Sunday was the
meeting day for the Buchanan street
called to order a rough house" en-
sued and the majority voted not to take
in the Lincoln street faction. The po-
lice and the patrol wagon were called
before peace and quiet was restored In
the sanctuary. Judge HaZen held that
the New Hope Primitive Baptist church
is democratic in nature and that the
majority should rule. He looked square
ly at David Overmyer when he said it,
and the famous Democratic leader OBJ
jected. Judge Hazen decided in favor
of the old original Buchanan street fac
ton, and said if the case came into
court against he would feel like doing
as was done in Wichita and sell the
church and divide the money.

GOT BACK HIS PROPERTY.
Harvey griffin Had Evidently Made a
Bad Trade.

Judge Hazen this morning set aside
the conveyance of property made by
Harvey Giffin to H. A. Bishop and 9TH
ers and restored to Giffin his farm and
cattle.
Giffin traded u acres of land between
North Topeka and the Reform school
and seven milch cows to Bishop for a
grocery store at the corner of Tenth
and Monroe streets. Giffin's attorney
claimed that the grocery stock invoiced
at $53 and that Giff1n was defrauded.
Judge Hazen decided in favor of Giffin
and gave him back his land and cows
and gave Bishop the grocery store
stock. In delivering the decision Judge
Hazen said ut seems that this man
ran a milk wagon and that the parties
who traded with him kept after him
day and night and some times till after
midnight. Giffin seems to be a man
who could not say no and who was not
well posted as to business dealings and
1 think he should have his property"

TURKEYS ARE NOT FAT.
Butchers Say Thanksgiving Birds
Are BonY This Year.

Fat turkeys for Thanksgiving are
scarce this year, and butchers say the
reason is because corn is scarce, and
turkeys have mad to rustic for a living
The price of Thanksgiving turkeys
will be about the same as last year. 1t
will start at 1914 cents, but the chances
are that by Thanksgiving time the
the price to 10 cents. This is what hap
pened last year.
Turkeys will be as plenty as they
were last year. said butcher today,
but we get very few fat ones. 1t looks
as though the short corn crop had
affected turkeys along with everything
else in Kansas"

taken away from the father on the
ground that he mistreated them. Their
