Conference With the City.

Chas- f. Street, president of the To-
peka Water company, and representing
the owners and bondholders as a tr,1s-
tee, is in Topeka, and had a conference
with some of the city officials this morn
ing Another conference was held this
afternoon, the object of both confer
ences being to arrive at price at which
the city can buy the waterworks plant.
1t is believed that the owners of the
plant expect the city to pay about $3.50
OOO for the plant The probable limit
y, y men s1no d dne company expects to receive
Is SfOU,OOO This is approximately the
valuation fixed on the plant by the en-

Attorneys Ask to Have It Advanced
in Supreme Court.

The attorneys for John Collins have
filed a motion in the supreme court TO
advance his case on the supreme court
docket, and County Attorney Nlchols

next docket to be printed, which VIII
be for the June sitting. If this is done

the gypsy, and Madame Delmain. of
New York are in our city for a short
time giving life readings, using palm
istry and clairyoyance. The ladies are
adept in their lines and come to our
city well recommended. They believe
that man should know himself his
capabilities and possibilities, in order
to make the most of himself. Their
object is directing people right and thus
making them healthy and happy and
better acquainted with themselves The
methods practiced by Princess Wanda
and Nine Delmain differ somewhat, as
palmistry as practiced by Wanda is the
old Egyptian or Hindoo method In
vogue 400 years b. c., while Nine Del

EVIDENCE ALL IN.
Trial of Albert T. Patrick is
Adjourned Until Monday.

New York, March 21.-The prosecution
in the trial of Albert 4. Patrick, accused
of the murder of william NJ. Rice, closed
its presentation of rebuttal evidence to-
day and court was adjourned until
PENDANTS counsel will be made. Tuesday
will be given to the prosecution and Re-
corder Golf will sum up on Wednes-
day.
DIR. John D. McAllister, who was pres
ent at the autopsy on Rice's body testi-
fled today that he saw no indications of
dropsy in Rice's legs
Mrs. Elizabeth Costello, who was en-
ployed as cook in Patricks boarding
house in September, 1900, said supper
was served on the day Rice died at 8
O'Clock the usual hour. This contradict
ed several witnesses for the defense who
had testified that it was nearer o'clock
when supper was served that day. Lucy
Calvin, who was a waitress in the house
followed and testified that she rang the
supper bell on the day on question be-
tween $50 and 6 D. m. This closed the
taking of evidence in the case.
Mr. Moore, of PatriclZ's counsel, then
moved that the district attorney be
compelled to say on which of the ten
counts of theindictmenta against Patrick
he asked conviction. The recorder de-
MED this motion and also denied a for
NAL motion to direct the acouittal of
the defendant on the ground that the
evidence did not justify conviction
and should not be given to the Jury.
