EXCURSION TO MANHATTAN
Washburn Students Will Accompany
Football Team.

Washburn students are preparing to
hire a special train and go to Manhat-
tan next Saturday with the football
team. If 100 people can be persuaded to
buy tickets. the Union Pacific has
agreed to run special, leaving Topeka
at 10 a. m. and returning at p. m.
Thursday morning at chapel, there
win be a Manhattan rally and an eff
fort will be made to get the necessary
100 students to promise to make the
trip. The Union Pacific makes a special
fare for the trip. 1t is likely that quite
a number of Topeka people will go with
the crowd, and Manager Leach requests
that all who have such intentions COM
municate with him prior to noon on
Thursday
The game with Manhattan is the only
out of town game left on the Washburn
schedule, except the games at Columbia,
Mo-, and Kirksville, Mo, both of which
are too far away for the students to
follow. It is therefore the last chance
Washburn people will have to accom-
pany their team on a trip. The fact
that Washburn is pretty sure to win the
game adds interest to the occasion

MASSACHUSETTS.

Boston, Nov. 4-With the exception
z,f the falling off in the Socialist vote.
the election in Massachusetts very
nearly paralle1ed that of last year:
Governor John L. Bates was reelected
by the Republicans by a plurality of
total vote only slightly under that of
1902, when Bates won by 37,l2O plu-
ralttv.
The vote for the leading candidates
yesterday was: Bates, 1873, 1893; Castor,
166, 544; both gaining about 5000 over
last year, but as the Socialists dropped
from 49, 629 to a little more than $4,000.
and that for the Prohibition and So
cialist Labor candidates remained about
the same. the total vote for all candi-
dates fell just short of that of last
year, the largest in the history of the
state For an off year. however. it was
very satisfactory to the managers of
both the principal parties.
With the head of the ticket went the
other Republican candidates for state
offices, as well as seven out of eight
members of the executive council,
while the lower branch of the legisla-
members, the senate remaining un-
changed.
The senate next year will stand 81
Republicans and Democrats, and the
house 1855 Republicans, 50 Democrats
and one Socialist. with two ties to be
decided
In addition to suffering a loss of sew
eral thousand votes for their leading
candidate, the Socialists also had two
OF their three seats taken away from
them by the Republicans, but as they
polled more than $4,000 votes they
maintained place on the official bal
lot,

NEBRASKA.

Omaha, Nev.4.-Judge Barnes, Repub-
1ican, is elected supreme judge over
Judge Sullivan the present incumbent
by a plurality which may reach 5000.
The rest of the Republican state ticket
is elected by 10000, Barnes running con-
-sidera bly, behind the other candidates.
These figures are conceded by the Dem
ocrats, who admit their defeat.
In Douglas county the Democrats elect
county clerk and probably one other
candidate on their ticket, and the Re
publicans secure the election of the re-
mainder of the candidates. on the ju-
dietary ticket the Republicans gained a
victory, electing at least five or six can
didates for the district bench
Much excitement was caused this
morning at the polling booth of the
fourth district of the Fifth ward by the
election judges forcibly ejecting an Of
fcious colOred policeman. After the
count was completed the judges discev-
cred an error which required revision
The patrolman undertook to force the
judges to turn the ballots into the coun-
ty clerks office and his interference was
resented. A fight followed in which the
colored man was thrown forcibly from
the booth.

TOPEKA At TOP
Fire Protection Record Is Best
in the Country.
Loss Smaller Than Any City of
SfmiIarsSize.
WILMARTH TELLS WHY
Good Service Secured by Keep
ing Out Politics.
Men Are Employed Only Be-
cause of Efficiency.
YILMARTH TELLS WHY

Topeka has again landed at the top
with its fire protection record, as given
in the report of the National Board OF
Fire Underwriters, of New York for
the year 1902
While most of the cities of similar
size have a fire loss of upwards of $1.00
per capita, Topeka has a loss of only n
cents. The Topeka department also
has a rank of 100 per cent in keeping
fires confined to the buildings in which
they started.
Sioux City, Iowa, with exactly the
same population as Topeka, has a per
capita loss of $2O.59, or a total loss OF
nearly 100000.
For year after year, Topeka has main
tanned its wonderful standing as a safe
town for fire insurance companies. They
know by 25 years experience that the
fire loss here is smaller than any other
city of similar size in the United States.
Fire Marshal C. o. Wilmarth is
doubtless the cause of this great record,
and he says, when asked how it has
been made:
mo doubt the principal, element in
our success has been that politics have
been kept out of the management of the
department. We employ men for their
real worth, and not to pay political OBJ
legations Thus we can get a man In
here and keep him for years and years,
and he becomes more valuable all the
time. He knows the town, knows the
buildings, knows the streets and knows
how to handle the apparatus
I'VE make it our business to get to
the fire as quickly as possible, and man
age to stop nearly all before they get a
good start Good luck is an element in
the case too, and simply because our
department ranks high should not be
considered reflection on any other de-
partments, which may be trying justsas
hard as we are to keep the town free of
loss by fire."
The following forty-five cities have
been selected from the very long list In
Guided in the annual report of the I'M
derwriters, and as will be observed, all
are about the same size towns as To-
