At 10 O'Clock the delegates assem-
bled in Colum bia hall for the morn
ing business session. After consider
ing and approving the minutes OF the
last meeting the secretary read several
resolutions upon the question of ad
uniting ladies to mem bership in the
union. This question has been up at
previous meetings and provision has
been made To allow the ladies to form an
auxiliary to the union, brit they have
not seen fit to avail themselves of the
opportunity. Now it is felt that the
only way in which to actively enlist
them in the work of the order is to
give them the right to become full
| members. The resolutions intro
| duced aimed at the above provision.
They were referred to committees and
will probably be brought up this
evening.

The question brought up last even
ing providing for semi-annual instead
of annual meetings was laid over till
the next annual meeting. The cleo

greater part of the session was given
up to this business, nearly two hours
time being consumed. The election

NOT CRAZY BUT CROSS.
Mrs. Reed Bound to Have Hus-
band Sent to Asylum.

Robert Reed was adjudged not in
sane in the probate court this morning
for the second time within week.
Judge Pagan will now refuse to give
any more complaints against Reed.
A week ago complaint was made in
the probate court that Reed was insane.
Sheriff Cook went after him and found
him quiet enough. He was brought to
the probate court and tried for his san
ity and found to be sane and discharg
ed On Monday morning Sheriff Cook
again received word from Tecumseh
that Reed was on a terrible ran page
and endangering the lives of all the
neighbors. Mr.. Cook went after him
the second time and found him quiet
as before. This morning DIR. ]. P. Lew
is and DR.. B. D. Eastman examined him
for his sanity and for the second time
pronounced him sane.
The evidence introduced to show that
he was insane was that he was cross.
His wife explained that he had scolded
her and for that reason she thought
him crazy. His sister testified that he
acted strangely and that he had refus-
ed to work. 1t was rumored that he
had stood on the porch of the house
with a shotgun but no one had seen
him. The physicians decided that there
was good deal of a family row brew
ing among the Reeds and that a man
who refused to work or scolded his wife
was not necessarily insane.

SUES A BREWING CO.
Mrs. Nellie Collins Claims Hus-
band Was Made a LOafer.

A suit for $10,045 damages against the
Joseph Schltz Brewing company and
William Collins of Kansas City, Kan,
was filed in the United States circuit
court here today.
Mrs. Nellie Collins is the plaintiff and
she bases the grounds for the suit on the
assertion that the Schlitz Brewing com
pany owns joint that is operated by her
brother-in- law, William Collins, and that
her husband, Thomas Collins, has been in
duced by said brother,in,law to become a
become a disreputable drunkard The
proceeds of his labor. which she claims
should go to the support of herself and
two children, has been diverted and she
has been left unprovided for. Her hus-
band, she claims, worked for the gas
company and received $45 per month. One
check. she claims, was taken from her
husband while he was in an intoxicated
condition, for which he received nothing
in return.
The suit was brought originally in the
Wyandotte county court. but was re-
moved to the United States district court
upon the petition of the Schlitz Brewing
company.
The attorneys for the Schlitz Brewing
company filed an answer in the circuit
court today denying every allegation of
the bill of complaint.

is that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets con-

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by

CARD SHARPs AT WORK
COffey County Farmer Nearly
Loses $1,000.

Burlington. Kas., Oct. 24.-Fred Huse-
man. grocer, farmer and postmaster at
Sharpe, Coffey county, would have lost
$4,000 to confidence men this week If
his banker had not refused to give him
the money. A well dressed man, who
appeared to be about 40 years old,
smooth faced, about five feet four
inches and rather heavy set, drove up
to his farm eight miles north and east
of burlington, and said he was a
banker from Emporia wanting to buy a
farm for his sister. He told Mr.. Huse-
his big farm and would like to look it
over. They started in the banker s
buggy and after driving around some
time they met a man who appeared to
be tramp. According to his story he
had been worked while at Kansas City
and had lost several thousand dollars
on a card game. He began showing
them how it was done, and said he was
on to the trick and would get his
money back when he got to Texas. The
banker became interested and he and
the tramp got to playing.
The game was that the tramp had a
deck of cards and one had a picture of
a boy on it. The banker was to draw
a card while looking at them. and if he
drew the boy he won. After the banker
and tramp had played some time they
wanted Mr.. HuSeman to join, but he
said he had no money. The banker
then offered to loan him some, and they
continued to play, Mr.. Huseman and
the banker winning every time. The
tramp got angry and pulled out $4,000
and wanted to bet that. The banker
promptly produced $4,000 and covered
his half of the bet Mr.. Huseman did
not care to go in so heavy. but after
he listened to the bankers talk a little
while he got in the buggy with the
banker to come to Burlington to get
the money. Mr.. Huseman went to the
Peoples National bank to draw the
money. Mr.. Foster, cashier, had some
trouble in convincing him that they
were fakes. After he did. Deputy Sher-
iff Bill Doherty was notified and start
ed after the men, but didn't find them.

BUYING AT HOME.
Good Judgment, Getting the Best and
Saving Money.

In purchasing the furnishings Tor
their Washington home, Senator ano
Mrs. J. r. Burton have displayed ex-
cellent taste and judgment in buying IN
their home state. Mrs. Burton and
her husband have recently selected their
carpets and furniture from the Topeka
house of Crosby Brothers.
This is but one instance of many
kansans who have found that Topeka
carries the very best goods to be OBJ
tanned anywhere for the furnishing OF
a home. This is true of the quality and
of the large variety from which seiec-
lions may be made from the stock IN
hand. 1t has recently been demon
strated over and over again by KAN
sans who have looked at goods in east
ern cities and returned to buy at home,
that their loyalty to home enterprises
is made easy by the fact that they
have saved both their pocket-books and
increased their supply of practical pa
triotism.
Senator Burton is only one of many
who have recently made large purchases
of fine goods carried by well known To-
peka houses. Among the list of recent
large buyers are Governor Stanley, T.
McClintock, M. F. Southwick, f. 9.

To these names many more could be
added, swelling a list of Topekans and
Kansans who give practical demon
stration that we can buy the best for
the leastsmoney of our home merchants,
