who has grown up in Topeka. He spent
his boyhood on a farm near Thompson
Vile, and came to Topeka to attend
Washburn college: After spending sew
eral years iii college, he went to the
State university of Kansas and entered
the law school. He graduated from the
law school, and went to work in the law
office of Ferry & Doran in this city, and
was there until he was appointed police
judge by Mayor Drew in 1899. Mr. Ma
gaw succeeded to the position through
the death of Chas. Guy. When the
Hughes administration came into
power, Mr.. Magaw was removed, though
he claimed that his term of office had
not expired. By compromise he sur
rendered the office to Frank Lindsay on
condition that Lindsay resign in case
Mr.. Parker should finally win in the
pending litigation. The policy of Magaw
as police judge was one OF the issues or
the campaign, and his reappointment
has been expected for some time though
a hard fight has been made on him. The
Democrats nearly all opposed him be-
cause they wanted a Democrat in the
office, and many of the Hughes faction
of the Republicans were also camping
on his trail. He had the warm support
of some of Mr.. Parker's closest friends
and these friends made a hard fight for
him and won. Mr.. Magaw says that
he wants a chance to vindicate himself
before the people of Topeka, and prove
that the charges which have been made
against him are unfounded and malic-
ious.
H. K Goodrich, who has been APP
pointed superintendent of the city cleo
tiic light plant in place of c. c. Munson,
has lived In Topeka for % years. He is
so years old and served in the Twenty
third Pennsylvania cavalry for four
years during the civil war. During the
first eight years of his life in Topeka he
was employed as a machinist in the
Santa Fe shops. He helped install the
Topeka water plant, and had charge of
it's operation for nine years. At the end
of that time he was sent out to install
water plants for a large company in
western cities. In 1891 he became chief
engineer at the Edison plant and held
that position until last month. He is a
thorough mechanic. Superintendent
Goodrich knows nothing about the de-
tails of politics. Some of his intimate
friends do not know what is his politi-
cal Faith, but he may be described
Republican of the passive" kind, but
he knows his business which is more to
the point and made an excellent record
during the two years he was in charge
of the city electric light plant.

ATT THE COURT BALL.
Schwab Cuts a Wide Swath
Among the Austrians.

New York, Jan 2S-According to the
Vienna correspondent of the Herald the
reception of Mr.. Charles M Schwab at
the Austrian capital was a splendid one.
The emperor is quoted as saying that
he would gladly welcome the news that
any number of Americans were coming
over here, and he meant to show that in
his reception to Mr.. Schwab. The steel
trusts president made a record in get
ting an invitation to the court ball.
All the invitations had long since ceased
and the books of the court were closed.
The answer at first was Impossible"
but that there is no impossible" was
shown by the fact that Mr.. and Mrs.
Schwab were present. Thereby they
saw one of the finest sights in the world
"a NiepneSe court ball.
Mr.. Schwab made a record and aston
ished people here by ordering a special
train to take him to Budapest So en-
thusiastice were the Hungarians over
MS large handednesS and enterprise IN
the matter that they met him with
cries as he arrived and departed of
Ellen Schwab." the first word, it may
be explained, meaning brave"
He was given a dinner at Hotel Bris-
tol at which there were present among
others the hereditary Prince Metternich,
Count Szapary who had done Mr..
Schwab the honors in Budapest as pres
fdent of the Park club, considered there
one of the finest clubs in the world:
Count Sternberg, Herr Novak of Prague,
one of the leading commercial men in
Austria and Herren Charles Arthur and
Ernest Wolff. DIR. De erie Wittgenstein,
the largest steel man in Austria, gave
party in Mr.. Schwab's honor the night
he and Mrs. Sehwab left. They went
direct from that party to the train-a
move which rather aSt0niShed the
guests present but which Mr.. Schwab
described as 1.-The way we do things in
America
People say that Mr.. Schwab combined
a touch of business with a deal of pleas
ure, and that he found time to talk
about the possibilities of the steel in
terests in Austria and that questions
of an amalgamation of interests were
not foreign to the conversation.

will sever their connection with the city

city engineer department to go are w. L.
Fulton, instrument man; @. T. Mat
tingly, sewer inspector, and George
Larkins rodman. J. c. Mcclure and j.
J. Hostetler were the sanitary officers
to lose their positions. Mr.. Hostetler
is the man who rendered to Mayor
Parker his resignation, in the hopes Of
winning favor by his willingness to
stand aside.
Both Mr.. Magaw and Mr.. Goodrich,
the new appointees, are Republicans.
In both instances they were opposed by
Populists or Democrats. Mr.. Magaw
won his appointment through a strong
political backing. Mr.. Goodrich was
chosen because he Is thoroughly ia
miliar with the work at the plant and
understands the machinery. Mayor
Parker stated that he would not risk
putting a new man in charge of so
much valuable and delicate machinery
There was a slight breath of opposi-
ton to the confirmation of the Magaw

the confirmation. Councilmen Myers,
