Mr.. RIDGLEY HERE.
He Thinks P0pulists Will Be
Separate Factor.

When the report went out over the
country last summer that E. r. Ridg-
ley, ex-cOngresSman from the Third
Kansas district and chairman of the
POpuliSt state committee, was washing
dishes for his board at Lawton in the
new country John r. Mulvane wrote
Mr. Ridgley jokingly that if he would
come to Topeka he might board with
him and he wouldn't have to wash dish
eS either
Mr.. Ridgley was in Topeka Saturday
evening visiting some of his friends,
and called upon Mr. Mulvane to ac-
knowledge the invitation He regards
the story as a joke, growing out of the
fact that he was a member of a camp
ing party in Lawton last summer and
took his turn at cooking and washing
dishes with the rest. He said he did not
quite have to depend upon his friends
as he still has money to invest in real
estate. He went from Topeka to Kan
sas City to look after investing it
While in Topeka Mr. Ridgley consult
ed with some of the Populist leaders
and as a result he sent out letters 10
the IA members of the Populist state
central committee asking them to state
their views with regard to the future
of the party
Concerning his views on the subject
Mr.. Ridgley said:
THE Kansas anti-fusion law is sue
cessful from the Republican point of
sion of any two parties. I cannot say
what the Populists will do, for L am
not authorized to speak for the party,
but it is probable that the Populist
party will continue as a separate politf-
cal factor until our measures shall be
accepted
On the same subject John w. Breid-
enthal, who is a close friend of Mr..
Ridgley, said today:
Some of the Populists may go into
the Democratic party. Othess will not
few, especially those who want Of
fee, will act with the Repu ublicans. The
old Greenback and Union Labor parties
converted a per cent of the voters to
believe in certain principles. but many
of them continued to act with the old
parties until the time was ripe for ac-
ton, when the Populist party resulted.
They still believe in those principles.
and the time will again come when i.
will be necessary for action. When that
time comes they will get together. The
time will come when the present Specu-
lative period reaches its height and be-
gins to subside. At present there is a
lot of capital being invested in wind
and hot air, Just as there was in boom
corner lots a few years 1870. AS long as
prices continue to go up the fellows
who are speculating are all right, but
when they reach the top as they must
do some time inflated values will drop
and there will be a collapse. Then there
will be a big howl and the fellows who
are now making the investments in hot
air and are yelling the loudest about
prosperity will be the ones who will
make the biggest howl when the drop
comes. Then the old conservative fell
lows will step in and hold them level
In the meantime we will keep still and
saw wood politically

ASK LOWER TARIFFS.
Cubans Lay Their Case Before Pres
ident Roosevelt.

Washington, Nov. PA delegation
of Cubans called upon the president to-
day and presented a petition adopted
by the industrial organizations of the
island urging upon his attention the
necessity of reduction in the American
tariff upon Cuban products, particularly
upon sugar and tobacco. The secretary
of war and other officials also were
also called upon.
After stating in a general way the
economic situation in the island, the
petition asks for a number of reduc-
tions in the American tariff on Cuban
products. These have heretofore been
published.
The petition goes on to say that the
economic situation in which the island
of Cuba is placed is such that the rem
edies above expressed admit of no de-
lay The petition concludes as fol-
lows:
I'VE therefore respectfully entreat
you. either by virtue of the constitu-
tional authority vested in you, or by
recommending in your first message to
grant you the necessary authority to
Immediately stablish ample CONNER
cial provisions between the United
States-the almost exclusive market for
our prOductS-and Cuba, based upon
the foregoing petition, as a. measure of
urgent necessity and Indispensable for
the salvation Of the island

ALBAUGH CALLS HIM DOWN
Kansas City Man Makes Mistake
About Kansas Banks.

The attention of State Bank Commits
sioner Albaugh has been called to an
editorial in a Kansas City paper criti-
cising his interview recently published
in the State Journal, in which he
stated that although the banks of
Kansas have four times their capital
loaned out, they still have an abund-
ance of deposits on hand, but there is
no disposition to wild speculation
among them. What on earth" queries
the Kansas City writer, is wild specu-
lation if loaning four times their cap
ital is not2"
This Kansas City man shows a la
mentable ignorance of financial affairs
in general and of his own city in par
ticular," said Mr.. Albaugh today I
should not pay any attention to it but
Tor the 1act that IT is slap at Kansas
banks that I cannot let pass There
are some unthinking people who might
jump at the conclusion that Kansas
banks are really doing a wild business
as this article intimates As a matter
OF fact there are no banks in the coun-
try doing safer OF more conservative
business than those of Kansas. To
show this will just refer to the Kan
sas City banks According to the re-
port of the comptroller for September
30. 1901. find" said Mr.. Albaush. re-
terr1ng to the report. that Kansas City
banks have capital of s.. .650. 600 While
they have loaned out $34 364 l76 IN
other words. Kansas City banks nave
loaned out thirteen times as much as
their capital stock, while Kansas banks
have loaned less than four times their
capital The Kansas City banks are
good banks, but this just shows how
conservative Kansas banks really are
and how little this Kansas City writer
knew of financial matters when he
made that slap at Kansas

PLAYED LIKE CHILDREN.
Dignified Members of Washburn
Faculty Gave q "Circus.y

Saturday night was about the most
strenuous evening ever spent by the
members of the Washburn college fac
ulty. Never in the history of that steady
old school have the 4'profs' cut up such
capers- 1t was the occasion of the
'-Sore-paw and Sold Brothers Circus,
which was presented to the members
OF the faculty by Prof. Ellis and Prof
Cartwright
The nature of the entertainment was
kept a profound secret by the hosts,
but the extraordinary preparations were
enough to assure all the prospective
guests that they were going up against
something entirely new in the annals of
Washburn- The guests therefore pre-
pared to stand for anything.
The invitations to the circus were sent
out by mail, written on linen cuffs The
guests squared the account by sending
their acceptance written on collars
The guests assembled at SIS, and by
preconcerted action, they were all mas
queradihg as exotics of the very rural
districts. Their costumes were modelled
after the sZim' drawings in Puck and
Judge, and they all looked to be fit
candidates for sideshow fakes. shell
games and red lemonade. And that is
exactly the kind of entertainment which
Profs- Ellis and Cartwright had pro-
vided.
Several large rooms on the second
floor of Within hall were fixed up with
all the paraphernalia incidental to
circus. The main portion of the circus,
as announced by telegram which was
shown to the guests, had been caught
in the quicksand of the Kaw river
while trying to ford the stream near
Perryville and was unable to get to
the show grounds. But the sideshows,
the peanut stands, popcorn, snake
charmers, and part of the menageria
was on exhibition. The proprietors of
the circus were assisted in the exhibi-
ton by a force of --supes'' recruited
from the small boys of College hill.
Altogether it was a very hilarious oc-
casion, and one which the guests VIII
not forget in a hurry. The evening
closed with a dinner served by the
hosts in an adjoining room.

HUSBAND GOTTHE DIVORCE
Mrs. Lawrence Sued For Tt but
Lost.

Judge Hazen this morning decided
the Lawrence divorce case by allowing
the defendant the divorce and alimony.
Mrs Anna Lawrence. aged 80, who
had been divorced twice before, brought
suit for divorce from Elmer Lawrence,
aged "a. She is the owner of farm
of 125 acres west of North Topeka The
husband contested the divorce and
claimed that he should receive a share
of the money representing the profits
of the corn crop raised on Mrs. Law
rence'S farm
The court said that Mrs Lawrence had
made many serious charges which she
could not substantiate and for that rea-
son he would grant the divorce to the
husband. The court ordered that the
costs OF the case be paid out of the
$1S6 in the hands of the clerk of the
court, which was the proceeds of the
sale of part of the crop and that Elmer
Lawrence should be paid 800 out OF the
same money.
