WOMEN TO BE THERE.
For First Time May Hear Kansas
z.vS~ rr's Day Speeches

For the first time in the history of the
Kansas Day club the gentler sex will be
allowed to attend. They may gaze on the
banquet from afar and listen to the
speeches afterwards, but they won't get
anything to eat.
The two galleries to Representative hall
will be reserved especially for the lady
friends of the banqueters Not man will
be admitted to the galleries under any
circumstances. Whether the ladies gen.
orally will take advantage of the oppor-
tunity is not known. 1t is possible that
they can avoid the narrowing sight of
seeing the men eat while they have to sit
by in hunger, by coming an hour after the
banquet commences. The banquet proper
is scheduled to be pulled off, promptly at
$50 Wednesday evening. 1t is expected
that the eating part of the programme will
last an hour, and then will come the
speeches. The speeches will probably last
till about 10 o'clock. 1t is expected that
the entire programme will be concluded by
that time.
The banquet will be a great sight If it
doesn't make the spectators too hungry
Ten long tables stretch across the hall. and
there will be so men at each table. There
will be appropriate decorations on the ta-
bles and they will be loaded with good
things.

TO GO ON THE STAGE.
General Grants Granddaughter Now
Plans Artistic Career

Washington. Jan. 25.-Miss Vivian
Sartoris, granddaughter of General u.
S. Grant, has announced to her rela-
tives and friends that she intends to fit
herself for an artistic and musical
career. She is at present in Paris, and
a daily attendant upon classes of the
E,cole des Beaux Arts.
Miss Vivian is the elder of the two
daughters of Algernon and Mrs. Sar-
toris, the latter the only daughter of
the late General Grant. She was one
of the most beautiful and attractive
girls of Washington society, and rumors
of her engagements of marriage have
been frequent.
Last year the date was set for July
10 for her marriage to Archibald Bal
four a cousin of the famous English
statesman, and distant relative of
Lord Salisbury. san 8 aEsr
Many handsome presents were sent
from this country to grace the nuptials
and her trousseau was prepared, when
society was excited by a brief announce
ment that the engagement had been
declared off. No explanation was
given. In a letter to her mother, how
ever, she explained that she believed
herself in love with Mr.. Balfour, but
as the time of the wedding approached
she discovered her unwillingness to as
sumo the responsibilities of matrimony
Two years ago she was reported en-
gagged to Mr.. d. o. Nichols of New York.
This engagement was also summarily
broken. Mrs. Sartoris has recently told
her friends that she did not think her
elder daughter would ever marry.

EXPLAIN FOX STATEMENT.
Henderson "Sick In Quarters Not
In Hospital

The cloud which was cast over the
an affidavit that he saw Colonel Metcalf
shoot a Filipino prisoner has been clear
ed away. Adjutant General Fox says
he made the statement that the records
show Henderson was sick in quarters
on the day of the battle of Caloocan,
February 10, where the shooting is al
legged to have happened. The statement
got into the papers that Henderson was
sick in the hospital on that date, and
that is what stirred up the trouble and
made some of Henderson's comrades
come forward with the statement that
he was on the firing line at Caloocan.
Henderson himself says that he was
sick in his tent on the morning of Feb
ruary 10. but when the firing com
menced he wanted to get into it and
went to the front This corroborates
the records, which state that Henderson
was sick in quarters" on that date.

KEITH WILL FILED.
May Open Litigation Over the
Keith Tract.

Judge James Bevelle of Omaha, Neb.,
today filed the will of Morrill, c. Keith,
probate court
This will brings about more litigation be-
tween the various owners of the property
at various times, and Quinton & Quinton,
who were agents for the property. during
the boom days, when it sold to F.
Kellam and Cyrus K. Holiday, ST., for
$50, 900.
nronerfV and We're WorLinS 1mtier an
agreement to sell the property. and take
for their commission one-third of all they
received over $50. 900.
When the sale was made Quinton &
Quinton began action to have the sale set
aside the grounds that F.. Kellam, one
of the parties who purchased the property,
acted as the agent in the transaction and
that the property was worth nearly $50 900
instead of $50, O00 the sum received for it
by the Keith estate. The case was CARVED
to the United States supreme court and
the sale was set aside.
The property is probably not worth 800
600 now, but was considered as worth that
much during boom times.

Parents Were Willing to Allow
Marriage She Said.

Kansas City. Kas., jan 25.--Arthur
Moore, a black negro with knky hair,
but fairly well dressed and intelligent
looking, walked into the probate court
yesterday afternoon accompanied by a
pink-cheeked, fair-haired young woman
and asked for a marriage license. Judge
Snyder looked surprised and asked the
woman If she had any negro blood in
her veins. She replied that she had
none.
do your parents know that you are
going to marry a negro?' he asked.
Yes" she replied.
DO they not make objecttonT
No" she answered.
Under the Kansas law it is manda-
tory for a judge to issue licenses TO
persons who wish to marry if there are
no legal objections to the marriage.
Niscegenation is not a legal objection
to matrimony in Kansas. He accord
ingly propounded the usual questions
and issued the license. The names
given were Arthur Moore, Kansas City,
Mo-, and Pearl Nance, Kansas City,
Mo. Both gave their ages as 20 years
After the license was secured they
asked Judge Snyder to marry them, but
he told then to hunt up some negro
preacher. They left the court house on
that mission.

THE LEE MERCANTILE co.
The Concern Which Has the Largest
Exposition Display.

The H. D. Lee Mercantile company,
of Salina, has m ade a decided hit with
the grocerymen of Topeka. Beginning
with the opening of the exposition they
took orders for goods of their own
manufacture, and in fact anything
handled by their large house, in any
amount from a five-cent order up, and
delivered them to any part of the city
through any grocery house requested
by the person ordering. These orders
were furnished the grocery stores at
the wholesale price, and the grocery
man received the profit, even though he
had only one order and that a package
of pancake flour. The result has been
that the Lee Mercantile company has
made a great many friends, not only
among the grocerymen of Topeka but
also with the visitors to their booth
The H. D. Lee goods hereafter will
be found at nearly all of the grocery
houses in the city. All goods bearing
their name are backed up by quality.
The standing of the firm is known all
over the west. Dealings similar to the
above have made them host of friends
and customers.

ARE AFTER SEaTON.
Reported Curtis Will Be Asked
to Keep Him OFF.

The story comes from Atchison that
some of the Republicans over there are
trying to induce Congressman Curtis to
keep Capt. John Seaton from running
again for the legislature in case he
does not go into the gubernatorial fight.
Seaton has been in the legislature
since time immemorial, and the state
at large has conceded that he can stay
in the house just as long as he wants
to. But he has enemies at home who
propose to 'go after" him II he tries to
be reelected this year.
They say If he is a candidate the
Democrats will run F. M. Baker, the
great grain man, against him, and that
Baker can defeat him. This is the ar
gument that is being used on Curtis,
the Atchison story says. Mr.. Curtis Is
interested in having a vote from John
Seaton'S district for United States SEN
ator, but he wouldn't get it If a Demo-
crat should be elected from that dis
trict. Seaton is a close friend of Curtis
and his enemies want Curtis to use his
influence to keep Seaton from running
again.

NJ. e. Ingalls,, the railroad magnate

more or less allied with the Wander

Indeed, Do you not think it would

Beneath this merited rebuke the man
moved not a muscle.
"Give me the letter." said he sober

Mr.. Ingalls, promptly handed over the
letter, and his visitor went out, closing
the door behind him without word.
While the clerks were still grinning
over the incident, there was a timid
knock at the door. The door was open

He entered with an obsequious bow,

SAVES $4,000 A YEAR.
VIM. B. Hoeck Makes an Important
Locomotive Improvement.

BY giving his ingenuity free rein,
William B. Hoeck foreman of the round
house, has been able to make such inn
provements on the CRATE arrangement
of eleven of the new prairie type pas
senger engines as to result in a saving
of about $4,50 a year to the company
The plan which Mr.. Hoeck has put into
execution is the raising of those parts
of the locomotive about six inches
above the ash-pan, thus preventing
their burning out at the point where
the pair of trailing wheels passes under
the fire-box. An average of two CRATES
for each locomotive in a month have
been found necessary, but by this
scheme the metal of which they are
made will not be easily melted and
thus the life of the CRATES will be great
ly heightened Formerly this part of
the engine has cost the Santa Fe about
on this number of locomotives for a
year a sum low enough to make the
saving what was indicated above.
