HELD TO HIS BARGAIN.

Augutus Hammond of Wabash, Ind,
a commissioner appointed by the Wa
bash Circuit Court to sell the farm of
Mrs Sarah Highley, near Mier, to set
tie a peculiar lawsuit, closed up the
matter and paid to Marion Rutherford
and William Miller about $3.50 for saw
ing the life of Mrs. Highley.
In January, 1900, Rutherford and Mil
ler were driving along the bank of
swollen creek, near Mier when they
were attracted by cries for help pro-
ceeding from the stream. A moment
later Highley rushed up to them and
said his wife, in a buggy, was out in
quickly rescued. I'll give you men $1,000
if you save her. he said, and Ruther-
ford and Miller, at the peril of their
lives, rushed in and brought the wo-
man to shore.
subsequently they called on Highley
to, make good his promise, but he re-
fused, and assigned his farm to his
wife. Suit was then brought by Ruth
erford and Miller and the case was
brought to Wabash county, where
judgment was rendered for the full
amount. The defendant, however, got
an injunction restraining the plaintiffs
from selling the farm under execution
and some time ago it was decided to
compromise. Hammond was made
commissioner, and he sold the property
to Mrs Noyes for $500, paid a S455
mortgage, paid Mrs Highley $244S, out
of which she settles the costs, and the
balance, or $3.50, is turned over to Ruth
erfOrd and Miller.

GHOST QUIT Viking.
And Jumped When He Trod on a
Tack

A series Of spiritualistic seances which
were in progress in Texas for several
weeks and resulted in several hundred
converts to the faith of spiritualists
were abruptly terminated when one of
the ghosts which the mediums have
nightly called forth from their eternal
resting places stepped on some tacks
placed in the GHOSTS" path by a couple
OF doubling ThOmases who went to sa-
tisfy themselves whether the white
robed spirits had nerves or not The
promoters Of the seances had warned
all who attended that to touch one Of
the ghosts would not only be fatal to
the experiments but might result Sc
riOusly to the dOubter.
John ana Henry Jacobs believed the
seances to be fakes but they had
enough supersttiOus doubt to refrain
from touching the ghosts. The tack
theory test suggested itself to them
and was executed with startling sue
cess, A ghost" being called up pro-
ceeded to perambulate the room with
steady tread. AS he crossed the double
line of tacks with upward turned points
howl of pain rent the night air ana
the dtsembodied spirit grasped one bare
foot in both hands, screaming most UNI
ghostly malediction on the doubling
Thomases, The seance was broken up
in a hurry.

a movement headed boy householders
who claim that they are being over
charged by the Hawaiian Electric light
Company for their monthly illumination
and furthermore that the company are
illegally overstepping the rates affixed
by their charter, is said to be af0ot in
Honolulu. DR.. Herbert has been men
toned as one of the promoters of the
movement. The charter rate as allow
ed by law is ninety cents apiece for the
first FIVE lights and sixty cents for any
additional lights This would make
the charter rate of the house
holder with ten lights $3.50 per month.
Alonzo Gartley of the Electric Com
pany states that his company would
be benefited if everybody paved these
fiat rates as under the present meter
system the net receipts of the company
show only an average of twenty eight
cents per light, whereas the minimum
charter rate would give them sixty
cents.
Everybody" says Mr.. Gartley, has
the option of taking the fiat rates, at
they prefer the meter system which was
inaugurated for their benefit. Many
as a man paying a fiat rate will in
fallibly burn ninety-nine per cent of his
lights, and during some months the
meter will register more than the fiat
rate"
The compliments base their side of
the question upon the point that meter
or no meter, their monthly accounts
should never run over the charter rate
The Hawaiian Electric Company holds
the view that the option given ale
hOuseholders, if decided in favor of the
meter system, allows of such charges as
the meter registers according to the
schedule of meter rates fixed by me
company. To quote Mr. Gartley fur

FOR A LABOR TEMPLE.
Plans on Foot to Build One in
Topeka.

At the meeting of the Trades Council
held last night, a resolution was passed
authorizing the appointment of one
delegate from each union in the city to
form a committee which will have in
charge the erection of a labor temple in
the city of Topeka. The plans for the
proposed labor temple are by no means
completed, but the idea is to buy
desirable site and build thereon a two
or three story building to cost from $1o.
900 to $4,000, which will be the home
of the labor unions of the city. The
upper floor of the building will be ar
ranged as an assembly hall for union
meetings.
The present quarters of the Trades
Cornell a 420 Kansas avenue are very
much crowded, and the unions feel
tEa 1ieed of home of their OWL There
night, and on Sundays several meetings
are always held during the day.
The first floor of the proposed labor
temple will be arranged for rental pur-
poses.
When the various unions of the city
have selected their delegates, the COM
mittee will meet and organize. 1t is
proposed to raise the funds for the
building by contributions from the var
ious unions. If the unions attain a.
membership of five thousand, as they
expect to do, the tax upon the indi-
vidual members VIII not be heavy.

C. n. Coles Name Can't Go on
Populist Ticket.

Attorney General GODDARD today decided
that the nomina ton papers of c. NJ. Cole
as the Populist nominee for congress in
the Sixth congressional district, were not
presented in time for filing by the secre-
tary of state. They were presented by J.
w. Morphy, Of Smith Center on Thursday
and counting forty full days before the
election the time for filing nominations
closed Wednesday night, but as there was
a question as to whether the law means
forty full days or whether the forty days
might include election day. the matter was
referred to Attorney General GODDARD In
the latter case paper filed on Thursday
would be legal.
Mr.. GODDARD was suspicious that the pa
pers were held up for the purpose of fore
ing decision in the matter, but Mr..
Morphy stated that it was solely because
of the washouts on the Rock Island, which
prevented him getting to Topeka on We'd

KISSED The REGENT IS.
Agricultural College Students
Make Demonstration.

Manhattan, Kan, Sept. 27.-The board
of regents of the State Agricultural col
lege in session here this week has ad-
journed- Those who have for a long
time insisted that the college was with
out a competent head have had abu-id-
ant and startling confirmation of their
belief afforded them by this meeting.
The charge that the president has at
heart been opposed to giving agrfcul-
ture considerable prominence in the in
stitution was strikingly borne out by
his conduct in yesterdays board meet
ing On motion being made to read
just the work. and provide for a de-
partment of animal husbandry of agri-
culture, and dairying. he moved that
the word agriculture" be stricken out
and different name given the depart
ment. This was defeated
Another startling incident was that
when the board of regents marched in
for chapel exercises they were loudly
hissed by a considerable body of the
students, but without rebuke or COM
ment by the college nresident. This
demonstra ton was understood to be for
the special benefit of at least two of
the regents who are known to be un-
friendly to the present head of the in
stitution. This utter lack of discipline
and regard for the proprieties on the
part of students is but a natural out
growth of the feeling encouraged in the
student publications of the college by
continual attack on certain members of
the board of regents in their columns.
The attendance at the college prom
ises to be equal to If not greater than
heretofore, and demonstrates that the
people of the state have unbounded
faith in its ultimately being properly
directed, as they hope to see 1t in the
no distant future.
The department of animal husbandry
was provided for, and Prof. d. H. Otis.
Kansas man, put at its head. E. H.
Webster was given charge of dairying.
