~ S PAoe3c1
ings last week We made The state
msnt that States Attorney Frank
Anderson solicited from the commits
@sionsrs money to pay The fees Of
John w. Arctander. as assistant
counsel in the Davidson case. Mr..
Anderson informs us We were mis-
taken and that the facts are as
follows: The relatives and friends
of Ra-l Sandal, the murdered man,
raised funds by private subscription,
came to him and asked If, as prose
cutting attorney, he would object TO
Dir. Arctander's sitting in the case
with him as counsel OF course
Mr.. Anderson had no objection. so
they paid Arctander . retainer fee and
solicited the balance Of the commis
sloners. The commissioners were 10
favor OF employing local talent, but
as the relatives had retained counsel
thescommissioners made no objection,
and Mr.. Arctander was employed.
We make the statement in justice
70 Mr.. Anderson, as the item referred
60 placed him 10 a wrong light before
4#ZaHsHaNM
the people, and the Reporter and
Farmer makes 40 state
ments Intentionally with regard 10
anyone. We were simply misin.
formed on the matter, il the facts are
as Mr.. Anderson stated, which We
no reason { % doubt.
After the above was in type we re-
ceived the following from Mr. Denton,
which explains itself

my informant, and he said his only
authority was that he had heard it. 1t

highest. and the mayor was instructed
to enter into contract with this Arm
for the sale of the bonds.
Mr.. Parnell, the representative of
Trowbridge 6, Niver company, was ask
ed whether he was prepared to deposit
with the city bond to insure the COM
pletion of the contract For answer he
placed in the mayors hands a certified
check on the State Savings bank for
81, 900 which will be retained by the city
until the company completes its con-
tract by paying over the sum of $79, 100
to the city treasurer
The representative of Mason, Lewis &
Co. announced to the council that his
firm would hold its proposition open to
the city for 80, so or 80 days, in case
anything happened to cause Trowbridge
nell says his company has not the
slightest intention of giving up the
prize which it has won.
Mayor Bergundthal was asked why
one of the bond buyers was willing to
come in and offer to take the issue at
AZ per cent instead of going into a com
bination with the others to leave the
rate at per cent. THE reason is, )" said
the mayor that this firm believed it
could make a better thing out of it by
paying a small premium for Az per cent
bonds than by paying a big premium
for 5 per cent bonds.'
OTHER BUSINESS TRANSACTED.
Besides selling the bonds, the council
last night passed the new ''dog ordin
ance'' in the form prepared by the city
attorney, making the dog tax for 1904,
81 and IS prior to April 1, and 81 and 81
after April l. COuncilmen Weber and
Neil wanted to make the tax 81 and 81
and So and So instead, but the council
voted it down.
The council also passed the Fourth
ward benefit ordinance, for the purpose
of opening Third street so that the city
railway can lay it's track out that
street. Ed Schmidt was at the meeting
as representative of the people living
in the east end of the ward. He pro-
tested vigorously against the ordinance
on the ground that the east enders are
taxed for an improvement which will
not benefit their property in the least.
The council conciliated Mr.. Schmidt by
agreeing that the appraisers should be
urged to make the tax on the property
at the east end very light.
Councilman Griley has started an
other movement to change the city
boundaries. He wants to take in
small tract of land adjoining his ward
which was not taken in under the re-
cent annexation law because the people
there objected. It seems that the OBJ
jections have now been overcome, and
the people are anxious to be annexed;
so anxious that they have agreed to
pay all but $40 of the cost of repub-
fishing the annexation ordinance. The
real inwardneSS of this movement
seems to be that there is a Topeka po-
liceman living on this land which it is
proposed to annex, and he will have to
either move into the city or give up his
job unless the city will take him in.
The proposal to refer the matter to the
ways and means committee was adopt
ed.
The council adjourned to meet Mon
day night, December 81, at which time
the pay rolls for Christmas will be
passed

GETS LEO'S WEALTH.
Nine Million Dollars Cash Hand
ed Over to Pope Plus.

Rome, Dec. 19-According to the Trib-
una, the vatican has had sudden wealth
poured into it's Golfers. For some time
certain sums, which were known to be
possessed by Pope Leo, were looked for
without result, the search toward the
end becoming somewhat feverish.
Cardinal Gotti, project of the propa-
ganda, accompanied by Mgr. MarZolini,
one of the late pope's. secretaries, drove
up to the vatican, and, getting out hur-
riedly, began Juggling at a heavy object
In the carriage. Assistance was offered,
but it was refused, and Cardinal GOtti
and Mgr. Marzolini between them car
ried the mysterious object to the apart
ment of Pope Plus. They were imme-
diateIy admitted and remained for two
hours.
Intense curiosity was aroused by this
act as it was believed to have some re-
lation to the missing wealth, and the
widest rumors were circulated. It soon
became known, however, that the bag
contained 100000 francs ($9,000,000) in
bank notes.
When Cardinal Gotti entered the pres
ence of the pope, he sank to his knees
and. pointing to his burden, said:
Your holiness, the 1amented Leo, just
before his death, confided to me the
money which I now lay at your feet,
saying that, if succeeded him, I was
to use 1t as I thought best, but that, if
another took his place. I was to turn the
money over to him after a period of
four months and elapsed. This I now

BAILEY AT LAWRENCE.
Governor Given Enthusiastic
Reception by Students.

Lawrence, Kan, Dec. Ex-Governor
w. j. Bailey made an address to the
university students here Friday. The
chapel was filed to the doors and the
chief executive was given an enthusi-
astic welcome. In part he said:
Faith in ones self and faith in ones
university are among the best things
that a young man or woman can have.
Your life at the university is just as
real as any life you will live. The
diSappointmentS are just as severe and
the success just as sweet as you will
ever experience. The character of a
city, d state and a nation is just the
same as that of the average man who
makes up that city, state and nation
The character of the university is the
same as that of its members. Kansas
university is in your hands and it's
standing, its future depends on what
you make it. The opportunities for
young men of the right character are
just as good today as they have ever
been. Let the young man show his
merit and his reward will be sure. The
object of the university is to build up
better citizenship in every way. The
things that count in the race are in
dustry, fidelity and loyalty. 1t is right
that every one shall have ambition for
success. But what constitutes success?
1t is not to be measured by dollars and
cents. Make money honestly and use
IL flS0I1y ana you VIII Dulld LOT DOllSI
things. The successful man is the one
who gives to the state and to the
community in which he lives more than
he takes from it. You may often QueS-
tion yourselves whether or not the time
and expense of your course in college
is well spent: will it pay. Is it worth
while? It may not pay in dollars and
cents, but in after life the time spent
there will be@a source of great salts
faction in that you will have a Gull
tured mind, have a broader horizon
and be a source of greater helpfulness
This is indeed worth while. Education
is not to fl a man to make living
without work. 1t should help him to
work better. The trained mind, heart
and hand is the hope of the nation:
The mutual service of brain and hand
is the best service"
Speaking more specifically of the OPP
portunity of the poor boy, the governor
said: The boy, though poor, who has
a brave heart, is the man of the future
does well the little things will do the
great things well. Everything must
stand on honesty and if boy has the
qualities backed by honesty his chances
are as good today as at any previous
time. Every man will be accused OF
Wrongdoing, but keep yourself clean
and do right and the future will take
care of itself. Remember always that
sity but of the best state and nation in
the world. The state looks for much
from you. 1t gives its money gladly
Kansas admires the university, the
faculty and the students. 1t asks that
you build higher things, the higher wo-
manhood and manhood. Every good
thing that you do builds and elevates
everything bad that you do lowers the
standing of the university, the city, the
state and the nation. The country, the
commonwealth and the governor extend
to YOU best wishes"
