ARKANSAS RICE FIELDS.

Judge P. 0. Dooley has just returned from the rice fields of Arkansas coun- ty, and he reports preparations are being made for extensive cultivation of rice. Some capitalists from New Orleans who are familiar with the cultivation of the cereal have become interested in that section of the state and are in Arkansas county at present making arrangements for the install lation of irrigation machinery, which will be used in connection with the rice growing. The rice which has been grown in that section is said to be of an excellent grade and the New Orleans capitalists will probably be the means of making this industry prominent in this state.

A DEED OF DEVILS.

Pine Bluff, Nov. 4.-Some malicious person or persons entered the study of Rev. Ross Moore at the First Bap- tist church last night and tore up things generally. Rev. Moore had left the keys in his desk and the par ties ransacked his papers, tearing up two or three of his sermons and scat- tering his private papers over the floor, but took nothing valuable. The doors to the church, Sunday school room and study were broken open when the thief entered. The study was filtered with filth and the work of the miscreant seemed confined to this, as nothing was missing this morning but the keys to the desk. The object of the midnight prowler could have been nothing but the meanest kind of mischief

EXONERATES CLARKE.

"And it is almost certain from re- ports of influential men who have been in close touch with Senator Clarke that Davis' efforts exerted in his behalf will not be reciprocated in the present campaign. Judging from Col. Billy NesPs editorials, Phillips county, Clarke's home county, vii not reciprocate the efforts either. Senator Clarke may have secured his office through the influence of Davis,
 but in view of the many dirty deals with which Davis has been connected since the last campaign no decent man can censure him for throwing the unspeakable Jeff over. When the election is over Davis will find that Clarke was not the only man to leave the ranks of his followers in disgust. {" Hot Springs Sentinel Record.

WORK OF THIEVES
 BROUGHT TO LIGHT.

Ike Harris, negro who has been a trusted employe of the Wolff Gold man Mercantile Company, and ne- gro woman named Carrie Wallace, now occupy cells in the local bastile, by reason of disclosures which show an organized and systematic pilfering of the stock of the above company to have been in progress for the past six months.
 Harris stole most everything. Hardly a line of goods escaped his calls and as depository for these stolen articles the home of Carrie Wallace, north of the Iron Mountain tracks, was used.
 Constable R. M. Laird raided the house and found box of meat, three barrels of flour, two bolts of silk, three bolts of black dress goods, three bolts of domestic, trunk full of ladies hosiery, parasols and cloaks,

TO TURN OVER CASH.
City Will Pay $4,000 Hydrant
Rental.

Preparations are being made by the
city to take possession of the city water
works, and two preliminaries of import
ance are now being arranged.
The old South Topeka hydrant rental
lawsuit in which the company claims
about $4,000 from the city, will be sub
mitted to the court for final adjudica-
ton on an agreed statement of facts.
The city attorney is now preparing the
documents in this case.
At the next council meeting, it is
likely that the city will vote to pay over
to the water company the 5000 which
is lying in the city treasury, in settle
ment of the city's water bill for the
past two years. This action will be
recommended by the city attorney
This will clear up the obstacles which
it is in the power of the city to remove,
and the only thing left will be to set
tie upon a plan of management for the
water works. and await the time when
the company IS prepared to give the
city a perfect title to the property.
: The payment of the $4,000 to the wa
ter company has been delayed simply
as matter of policy in view of the at
t1tude which the city has taken relative
to the franchise of the water company.
The city has claimed that the COM
pany had no right to exist in Topeka,
and therefore should not be recognized
by the payment Of any money to it.
The fact that the city owes the money,
is, however. not denied. and the money
is in the city treasury to pay, whenever
it is deemed the wisest policy to do so.
City Attorney Spencer said today:
I can see no reason why the city
should not pay over this money, espec-
tally if the water company is willing to
enter into a stipulation, as they say
they are, that the payment shall in no
way prejudice the city's interests -
One of the most important matters
for the council to determine is the form
of management to be adopted for the
ment is strongly in favor of an abso-
lutely non-partisan control.

False Stories About the Fidelity
Trust Company.

Buffalo. N. Y. May 0.-There was a
run on the Fidelity Trust company to-
da@-
The board of trustees of the institu-
ton has issued a statement. which first
alludes to rumors current during the
last week that there was large de-
felt in one of the banks. which SAYS:
'On Thursday and Friday the rumol
took the form of a statement that the
defalcation existed in the Fidelity Trust
company Of Buffalo. 1t was said the
president had used $500, 600 Of the money.
Another statement was that George l.
Williams had used 100000 of the money
of the company. The results thus far
have been the withdrawal of small ac-
counts aggregating possibly 500, 900. The
bank has offered a reward for informa-
ton disclosing the name of the person
originating the rumor."
The trustees pronounce the story to
be absolutely false in every particular
Neither Mr.. Foreman nor Mr. Williams
nor any other trustee or officer owes
the bank single dollar. There has
been no deSalcation to the extent of a
dollar they say. and the comDany has
$4,0OO,o0O available to provide against
any demand.

NO SMALLPOX HERE.
Report About Sells Forepaugh Show
Unfounded.

City Physician Storrs investigator
the -Forepaugh circus today, to
see whether there was any smallpox in
it. The investigation" was very
funny affair
Instead of going himself, he sent San
itary Sergeant c. L. Vanderpool. who
doesn't claim to know anything about
the physician business. Mr.. Nanderpool
is hired to keep the records of the
health department, which Storrs won't
let anybody see
Nevertheless, Storrs sent Wander
pool down to the circus train early this
morning and had him examine" each
of the zoo employees for traces of small
pox. The whole 700, or as many of
them as happened to be handy, were
lined up by the management of the
show, and passed in review before Mr.
Vanderpool. who didn't observe that
any of them were afflicted with small
pox. and 50 reported to Storrs- There
upon Storrs decided that the show
could exhibit in Topeka.
There is probably no smallpox among
the circus employs. for the show
couldn't afford to let the disease get
foothold. But the farce of an exam-
nation" which Storrs prescribed seems
to be characteristic of the present sys-
tenn of handling contagious diseases IN

use of the visiting women were lined up
in front of the National hotel at
o'clock and by 10 minutes after the hour
the parade was in progress. There were
at least IS carriages in the line headed
by the big red Van Fleet automobile
carrying eight or ten people Five or
six other autos were pressed into ser
vice The Zine of march was down
Kansas avenue to Ninth street across
the state house yard and down Barri-
son street to Huntoon. Coming back on
Topeka avenue and Tyler street the
drive led out Sixth street and through
PotWin. the prettiest of Topeka's sub
urbs. From there it returned to Topeka
avenue and turning north led down that
street to Third. From there the return
was made by Van Buren, and Fifth
