The new manager would pass for
good double of Samuel Forsha of Hutch
inson. He has the same kind of a big
athletic frame, pink complexion and yell
low vandyke beard. A short distance
away his best friend could not tell him
from the Reno county alfalfa king. He
has been in the hotel business in differ
ent capacities for the past dozen years,
and is an old time friend of F. M Cur
tis, who has been behind the desk at
the Copeland for the past few wears
and who will continue there under the
new management. He was manager OF
the Nelson at Rockford, ILL.,, for a time,
and has been connected with the Kirk
wood at Des Moines and other big ho-
tells and restaurants in Chicago and at
Butte, Montana. He comes here from
Kansas City. where he has been man
aging the McClintock restaurants
NO immediate changes will be made in
the hotel under the new management
1t will still be known as the Copeland,
as it has during the years that Cope
Gordon has been running it.
L may make few minor changes
in a short time" said Mr. ChappelIe
today, but if any big changes are to
be made they will come later when
there appears to be necessity for them.
No radical changes will be made at
present"
Colonel Gordon's career as a boniface
<
with the history of Topeka itself. He
came her in 1858 and engaged in the
grocery business. Soon afterwards he
and Mrs. Gordon were married in the
old Topeka house which stood where
the federal building is now, it is said
to have been the first public wedding in
Topeka.
It was not long after this that Col
onel Gordon built the old Gordon house
where the Throop house now stands.
He ran it until 1879, then he built the
new part, practically as the Throop
now stands, and afterwards sold it.
The following year he built the Cope
land which was opened in the fall of
1880, and he has been running it ever
since. 1t has become famous as the
headquarters of the Republican party
in Kansas and copeland county," an
expression coined by F. L. Vandegrift
to include the politicians who hold con-
ferences in the Copeland, has become
famous beyond the boundaries of the
state.
Colonel Gordon will retire from the
hotel business. He will probably con-
tinue to live at the Copeland during the
winter, or until he finds residence prop
ertv that he wishes to buy.

THE CASE.
The Lake City and Scranton Oisoen'
sary Gases taken to Supreme
Court

The fight in the Lake City arr
Scranton dlSpenSary eases Is MOI
vet over. Those good citizen.
who oppose the establishment Of
State Iiqaor shops there will tiIhl
to the last ditch. which Is in this
case the supren. court OF the
Ulitel State.
Through their attorneys, MeSSrS
Sllipp and Bass. they have asked
the supreme court of the State
to stav the sending down Of the
remitter until the appeal is per-
fected or abandoned, though il
looks AS if they are not likely by
any means to abandon the Sight
right now.
This request has been granted
by Justice Woods. and that acts
As a stay to the establishment OF
the dispensary, so these towns
will not have their booze yet
awhile.
The petition to the supreme
court sets forth that a federal
question is raised by the act in
question. This is that the people
of the towns of Lake City aud
Scranton are denied equal rights
under the law as provided by the
constitution of the United States.
This point Is found in the fact
that the diSpensary law provides
two classes OF communities 10 be
affected, one OF them those towns
and counties in which the sale OF
liquor was prohibited by law prior
TO July l, 1898, in which COM
munities an election on the qneS-
ton of liquor or no liquor should
lie held before the establishment
of IA di>pensary, but from this
class which Was lawfully created,
an exception is made of these
Williamsburg towns. They are
not allowed the right to hold an
election on the question before
the establishment of the dispen-
sarv, therefore the claim of an un
constitutional measure which does
not allow equal rights to the peo-
pie affected.
In addition to the counsel al
ready employed IN this case,

has bsen retained. - Florence

THE SECOND
DAYS SHOOT

The second days shoot at Dewitt 5
Park yesterday brought out a good at
tendance, although the number par
ticipating was somewhat less than on
the day previous. The weather was a
little too raw for comfort, although
the wind was not high enough to in
terfere with the shooting, and some
very good scores were piled up.
Each of these shoots are all day
affairs, lunch being served on the
ground by Jesse Wyant The targets
today will be live birds and interest
will run very high.
Notwithstanding the rivalry which
naturally exists among the shooters
the utmost harmony seems to prevail.
The evident good feeling and the alb
sence OF dissatisfaction in any form
was commented upon by the visiting
sportsmen yesterday as conditions
which do not always prevail on such
occasions.
Fifteen events were shot off yester-
day. In eight of these ten targets were
employed, in five fifteen targets, in
one twenty targets, in one twenty five
targets. Stroh, Keller, Butler, Ho-
we'll, 7. B. H., Cooper, Mason and
Dietz shot in all the events
Following are the persons who par.
ticipated in the shoot with the total
of hits to their credit and the percent
ages attained:
