MIR. PLUMBER, GET READY.
You Will Have to Show What You
Can Do.

Bring your metal pot and soldering
irons Mr. Plumber. and come to the
city hall and get examined.
You will be required not only to tell
all YOU know about plumbing. but you
will have to show to the plumbing
board that you can glue two pieces of
pipe together with hot solder. build up
a patch or make a tight joint.
Monday night the plumbing board
will begin the examination of candi-
dates for license to do plumbing work
in the city of Topeka. The examina-
tions will probably be held at the city
hall and will continue every evening
next week except Thursday and Friday.
when the chairman of the board will
be unable to attend.
Most of the men who do plumbing
work in Topeka are well known to the
two plumbers who are on the board,
and the examination will be regulated
much according to what the board
knows of the capabilities of the men.
If a man is known to stand high in his
business, and to thoroughly understand
scientific plumbing, his examination will
not be as strict as that of the unknown
plumber who has yet to demonstrate his
fitness for the work.
The examination will be partly oral,
partly written and partly test of the
practical ability of the plumber in
handling the tools of his trade. Two

NEGROES ARE BACK.
Sheriff Lucas Brings Slayers of
Fred Tutcher to Topeka.

Sheriff A. T. Lucas went to Law
renee this morning and brought back
DeMoss and Mason, the two negro
murderers who were taken there for
safe keeping last Monday. He arrived
in Topeka with his prisoners at 1920
this morning, and they were taken in
carriage to the county jail where
they are now confined.
Their preliminary hearing in city
court has been set for November ?, but
they will be given chance to waive
examination either this afternoon or
tomorrow. DeMoss' father told Sheriff
Lucas today that his son would waive
examination in city court. and it is
thought that Mason will also waive.
He will be given a chance after he has
conferred with his parents.
Later-Mason and De Moss were
taken before Judge McCabe in the city
court and both waived their prelimi-
nary examination and were held with
out Kali.

THEY RAP CURTIS.
Severance Speech Followed by
Resolutions of Condemnation.

There is joke on Congressman Cur
tbs concerning his address at the reunion
at Severance, Doniphan county, which
was not included in the reports or the
meeting which appeared in the morning
papers.
After Mr.. Curtis had concluded his ad-
dress a meeting of old soldiers was held
in the same hall and the following reso-
lutiOns were adopted:
Whereas, Under the rules adopted bV
congress no congressman can obtain
at one session more than five special
pensions for soldiers in his district and
Whereas, While we regard such a rule
as violence of moral coWardice ana as
unpatriotic, we have a right to insist
that our congressman should at least
make an honest endeavor to secure I'M
der said rule the full measure of it's
benefits. so that out of large number
of old soldiers in this district who are
worthy objects of special pension iegis-
1atiOn at least five could obtain relief at
each session; and,
Whereas, We have for many years
watched with growing modification and
disgust the hypocritical attitude of our
present member of congress, an attitude
so hypocritical that it deserves the con-
demnation of all the patriotic citizens of
this district; therefore. be it
Resolved, BY the old soldiers of Doni-
phan county in this meeting assembled,
that we unhesitatingly condemn our
congressman, Charles Curtis, for the
manner in which he has, for the
furthering of his political schemes. so
shamelessly deceived the old soldiers of
this district. who are worthy objects of
special pension legislation, by introduc-
ing a great number of special pension
bills at each session of congress. and
We condemn him for thus shamelessly
raising the hopes of the old veterans of
this disadvantages which can never be
realized and which he makes no honest
effort to have realized.
Resolved. That we heartily Join with
our comrades of Severance post No 49,
Grand Army of the Republic, in asking
congress to pass a general service pen
sion law as outlined in the resolutl on
passed by said post at its last meeting
and hereby request that our members

take the initiative and work for the pas
sage of such law.
Resolved, That we condemn Congress-
man Curtis for posing as a special friend
of the old soldier when in fact his acts
in the First district have proven that
he is not their friend but that he has
all the time been working them for
votes.
Resolved. That we condemn Con
gresham Curtis for opposing the reap
Dointment of an old soldier and fellow
citizen, Cyrus Leland, jr., to the posi-
ton of pension agent at Topeka, Kas,
and endorsing for that position-a posi-
ton so important to the old soldiers and
so closely connected with their welfare
"a man who was not veteran of the
civil war.
Resolved, That we condemn him for
his turning down old soldiers all over
the district and favoring his henchmen.
Resolved, That we condemn him for
stating that he would not believe the
governor of this state under oath.
Resolved, That we condemn him for
stating that the other candidates for
congress in this district are merely
stool pigeons.
Resolved, That we condemn him for
stating less than two years ago on the
eve of a state convention that he was
not taking any part in the guberna-
tOrlal contest. and then, after he had
secured the unanimous endorsement of
this district for congress on the
strength of such statement taking an
active part in such contest and using
all his patronage in an effort to defeat
w. ]. Bailey, an honored citizen of his
own district.
Resolved. Chat we condemn him for his
speech last january before the Joint con-
vention Immediately after the election of
Chester 1. Long as United States senator
as being beneath the dignity and honor
of any man fit to represent us in congress.
Resolved. That we condemn him for
violating. the Horton agreement. He ac-
cepted the benefits for himself. then re-
pudiated the agreement. This county was
a party to the agreement. The evidence
against him would have convicted him in
any court of justice. And be it further
Resolved. That in the Hon. w 1. Stuart

is an honored citizen of this county and
who is able. honest and incorruptible;that
we take great pride in standing up for

POLICE COURT NOTES.

Several extra policemen will be on
duty Halloween. for the purpose of pre-
venting the destruction of property. 1t
is customary on that night for small
boys to throw corn at windows and
make other minor disturbances, and
that will be all right, but the older gang
who delight in tearing up wagons, turn
ing over coal houses and painting things

out. The police will not tolerate any
such performances if they car help il.

a plumber has certificate from the

hogs were not in the city of Topeka,
because the ordinance which took his
property into the folds of the town was
illegal His attorney, Hiram Root, made
that defense, and said the old charter
act under which Dryers addition was
incorporated had no legislative power
behind it. There was no denial of the
presence of the hogs on the property,
the argument was all about the validity
of an old action of the council. But the
court decided that the Dryers lived in
the city.

An interesting and profitable dis
course was delivered by one of the Prin-
ceton students at the Holly Beach
Presbyterian church last Sunday eve
ming from the text, by thy words
thou shalt be condemned and by thy
words thou shalt be justitied.n The
sermon was especially directed to the
Christian people. They were caution
ed in regard to the language used.
What a world of meaning words con-
vey, and as one has said men and words
are living things. Allow me, he said,
to write out the vocabulary of your
words upon the wall and / need lot
write underneath condemned or justi-
fed, but your words will stand for what
you are. No doubt men would he as
tonished and would deny the author
ship of their W words could they see
them written out upon the wall. Words
once spoken can never be recalled. We
can be ashamed of the words and apol-
ogize, but recall them, never. There
fore, let us be careful.
