AND THEY CAME BACK.
Family Long a Burden to Topeka Re-
turns from Wichita.

That charitably inclined people are
excusa BILE in turning down an occasional
case is manifest by the following story,
which is furnished by Mrs Thorpe, who
withholds the name of the charity
seekers:
For five long years those who looked
after the poor in Topeka groaned under
the burden of a thriftless poor family that
seemed capable of nothing but to in
crease its membership and get into all
sorts of emergencies that compelled
charity that was almost grudgingly
given The older children of this fam
lily married very young, and still living
with the family. added to it's require
ments. Two years ago there was great
joy in Topeka when the tribe hitched up
its two old horses and started for Wicn-
tia In due time Mrs. Thorpe received
a letter from Mrs. Crouch, secretary of
the Wichita associated charities. asking
about the family. Do tell US all about
them she wrote for they are in great
distress because of the arrival of new
baby girl, and we have to help them
This fall Mrs. Crouch wrote Mrs
Thorpe: The -- family has left this
city and we think are headed for To-

Yesterday one of Mrs. Thorpe's help

GROCERS EXPLAIN 1T.
Tell About Their New Anti Dead-Beat
Law.

Reports from the headquarters of the
grocers' association which was formed
some weeks ago for the purpose of pro-
tecting the grocery firms of the city
against dead beats" indicate that the
plan as t1en settled upon is meeting
with much success. The scheme. as
heretofore explained, consists simply in
one grocer refusing further credit to
customer until the latter shall have met
his obligations with whatever firm he
may have been trading before. The fol-
lowing circular letter has been sent out
by the secretary for the purpose of
accuaintino al the members of the or
ganization fully with the scope of the
Seisenlc:
Now 1 wish to urge upon you the i'm
portance of adhering strictly to this
plan 1t is not blacklist nor dead
beat list We say nothing against the
customer so reported: in fact, in many
cases they may be very good people. but
little careless about their bills. What
we want is to establish new method of
giving credit among our members. We
want to require our customers to nay
as they go instead of going and pay
ing when they please, if at all. In other
words. we want to require that the Gus
toner settle with one merchant before
opening an account with another. Do
not give credit until you have ascer-
tained this important fact.
This is very simple and easy, and

FOR LABOR TEMPLE.
Plan to Erect One in Topeka to
Cost $4,000.

A Labor Temple" will probably be
erected in Topeka within the next year.
The various labor organizations of the
city are forming a stock company with
this purpose in view, and the company
will probably be Incorporated within a
short time with one director from each
labor union interested in the project.
The company will De incorporated for
$4,000 and the stock will be divided irto
shares of five or ten dollars each. The
stock will probably be taken by the var
ious labor unions and by their individual
members. If this does not raise suffici ant
funds to erect the building other plans
will be devised to secure the balance.
Definite plans for the building have not,
of course. been formulated and will not
be until the organization of the company
is effected, but the general idea is to build
a structure of two perhaps three
stories. 1t is proposed to have two halls
for the meetings of labor unions, a gym
nasum, reading room and committee
rooms. The ground floor will be devoted
to store rooms in order to add to the rev.
enue of the building. If it is made three
stories there may be some office rooms on
the second floor.
The location is also a matter of doubt,
but an effort will be made to locate as
near to Seventh street and Kansas ave-
nue. as possible.
I'VE would, of course, like location on
the avenue if that were possible" said
sioner, who iss interesting himself in the
project. but that is probably impossible
with the funds that will be at our COM
mand. I presume it will be built either
on Jackson or Quincy streets, but we
intend to have it within three blocks of
Seventh and Kansas avenue. I think it
can be built within the next year"
The different labor unions have thus far
elected the following as members of the
building committee
T0oir 7
ence, fathers; J. P. Seigmund car men;
c. Guerdon. building Iaborers; w. L. A.
Johnson, boilermakers; c. NJ. Long, brick

unions will incorporate under the laws Of

INSPECT BEDWELL PLACE.
County Commissioners Say They Are
Satisfied With It

The county commissioners inspected
S. A. Bedwell's private asylum east of
town early this morning. This is the
institution which the board of charities
has ordered closed unless extensive i'm
provernents are made and in which the
recent Rynerson scandal originated
The commissioners reported that they
found the place in good condition and
the patients well cared for. The
state allows 81 a week for the care of
natients who cannot be taken at the
state insane asylums The insane can
not be cared for at this price and the
commissioners add another 81 week
TO the price paid Bedwell. The action
of the board of charities means that
Bedwel must stop. The cause of the
present condition is that the state does
not care for the insane as it should and
leaves a burden to the counties in caring
for those who are crowded out of the
state institutions. and the state is re
sponsible for places like BedwelPs.
though that is no excuse for brutal and
inhuman methods.

chanic at Beaumont, Tex, was shot and
killed Monday night while at a wreck
which had occurred on the Beaumont

Mullins today ordered the arrest of IL
aldermen who voted for an ordinance
granting a new franchise to the Denver
