PANIC IN PARIS.
Rumors of a General War Agi-
tate the Bourse.
Securities Were Sacrificed
Without Regard to Value.

Paris. Feb. 20-Wild excitement pre-
vailed on the bourse today as the re-
suit of startling, contradictory reports
concerning possible world complica-
tons growing out of the war. These
rumors included the prospective mobi-
lization of the German and French
armies. The evening papers also said
that serious influence was exercised by
the report of the difficulties between
the United States and Russia in con-
sequence of the Russian refusal to
grant an exeQuator to Mr. Morgan as
United States consul at Dalny. F'inan-
ciers asserted the market was in such
a sensitive condition that the widest
rumors were taken up and might lead
to serious complications.
The financial authorities claimed that
not since 1882 has a scene occurred on
the bourse like that of today. Almost
from the opening the leading securities
began to fall French rentes were par
ticularly affected. Russian imperials
also dropped, as did other foreign bonds.
During the early hours heavy depre-
Citations occurred on all sides, leading
up to brutal sacrifices of values.
Spanish renteS were specially affected
by the great confusion which prevailed
over the fears of international complica-
tions.
This stage was aggravated toward
the closing hour, and the excitement,
which amounted to a panic, was re-
doubled. French. Spanish and Turkish
rentes were offered amid a great up
roar. At the close the market was
very agitated Russian imperial tours
closed at 1925. Rio Tintos lost 20
francs.
The private rate of discount was
2 T-16 Der cent

Water Company Gets j Judgment
for $13,33S.55.
City Must Pay Extra for South
Topeka Hydrants.
MAY NOT APPEAL CASE.
Likely That Council VIII Decide
to Settle.
Case Has Been Pending for Sew.
en- Years.

Judge J. C. Pollock has rendered
Judgment for $1S,33S.55 and costs
against the city of Topeka in the water
hydrant rental case commenced seven
years ago. and involving the city's La
bility for rental on 16 fire plugs located
in South Topeka The Topeka Water
company. through its receiver, claimed
914.259.77.
It is not likely that the city win
carry the case up to the United States
court Of appeals, though this will have
to be determined by the city council.
In 1897, Elias Summarized, who was
then receiver for the water company,
fled suit to collect the rentals on Is
fire MIGRANTS which had been accumu-
lattng since 1890. The fire hydrants
were located in what had been the city
Of South Topeka, which was annexed
to Topeka in 1887.
The city of oTpeka refused to pay the
claim on the ground that the water
company's franchise provided that all
fire hydrants in excess of 300 in the
city of Topeka should be free of charge.
In the city of Topeka proper there were,
in 1890, 298 hydrants. There were also
Is hydrants in South Topeka. Topeka
considered that having annexed South
Topeka, the two should be considered
as one under the water cOmpany's fran
chise, and that 16 of the fire hydrants
should be no longer charged for by the
water company.
Judge Pollock holds that the merging
of South Topeka with Topeka did not
constitute a merger of the South To-
peka contract with the water company
into the Topeka contract under the
franchise.
In other words, the city of Topeka
viii have to carry out the South To-
peka 20-year contract with the water
company for IS fire hydrants This
contract was made in 1886, and there
fore viii not expire until 1906, unless
the city buys the plant prior to that
time.
The water company figured up the
rentals, and then computed compound
interest every six months. From time
to time the company has filed supple
mental petitions to bring the bill up to
date. The last supplement brought the
bill up to January Is, 1904. and the in
terest to February Is. making a grand
total Of $14,259.77. Judge Pollock held
that the company was not entitled to
collect compound interest.
He allowed straight interest at 6 per
cent He also ruled that the company
could not collect for the last half of 1860
and the first half Of 1901, because the suit
was not filed until 1897. and the 1900 and
1901 claims were therefore barred by the
statute of limitations. The total amount
of the 1900 and 1901 claims was only s207 A.

KELLY IN REPUBLIC.
Uses Queer Methods to Prevent
Administrations.

Belleville, Kas.. Feb 2O.-State Treas
urer Kelly came up here last night on
a hurry call from Topeka to try to
head off instructions against him in
the Republic county Republican con-
vention, which will be held this after
noon. There is an extremely strong
anti-Kelly sentiment in this county,
but Kelly's friends hope to capture the
convention by manipulation. His man
ager, D. Y. Wilson, will not be in the
convention, however. Wilson was over
whelmingly defeated as a delegate to
the county convention, with Kelly as
an issue.
Republic county has candidate for
Judge, W. T. Dillon, and the Kelly
people are urging that unless Republic
county endorses Kelly the Kelly in
fluence in Cloud county will oppose
Dillon for judge, and they are trying
to capture the county convention for
Kelly on that issue.
The Belleville Telescope in its issue
this week publishes the following:
I'VE have positive proof that T. T.
Kelly is making a desperate effort to
bride the delegates from Republic coun-
ty by offering free transportation and
free board to those who want to go to
the Wichita convention in his interest.
Good men have told us that they were
shown letters direct from Kelly in
which the Miami embezzler and forger
made such an offer. Mr.. Kelly's man
ager in Belleville has gone to a number
of Republicans, not only in Belleville,
but in nearly every section of the coun-
ty, and held out such inducement to
them provided they would line up for
Kelly.
Mr. Hoch in his speeches says the
bride giver is worse than the bride
taker. The most important question to
be decided by Saturdays convention will
be whether or not Republic county can
be sold to a confessed thief in exchange
for few railroad passes and a few
meal tickets at a third class Wichita
tavern.
kelly must have taken the Repub-
licans of this county to be a band of
hungry, poverty-stricken, political
cheap screws who are on the market
and for sale to the highest bidder.
There are hundreds of Republicans in
this county who are abundantly able
to pay their railroad fare to Wichita
and who can put up at the best hotels
and pay their board and never miss
the money. There are hundreds of 9TH
ers who would rather walk to Wichita
than to vote for q man for state treas
urer whose reputation smells to
heaven.
1T is now up to the delegates to the
county convention to say whether we
favor honesty and integrity among our
state officials or whether we are will
ing to sell out cheap to a common po-
htical confidence crook

DIED-Mr. Matt Wallace, who lived
with his family in the house with Mr..
Thomas McCutcheon near Lawrence
street, died on last Thursday night
after an illness OF many months of
rheumatism. He leaves a wife and sew
eral children. During the civil war he
was courier of General Wade Hamp-
ton and was a soldier of fearless daring.
He came from South Carolina to Cobb
county after the war, where he lived
until his death. His remains were in
tered at Mt. Zion church. The Ladies
Memorial Association looked after his
interment and prepared laurel wreath
and had Mr.. J. Gid Morris, adjutant Of
the local camp to place it on his last
resting place, who paid him fitting
tribute. Cole d. Philips, commander
OF the local camp of Confederate veter-
ans, delivered an appropriate address
to the memory of his deceased COM
rade.
Mr.. Thomas J. Warren, whose sud-
den death occurred in Elberton
Wednesday morning of last week, mar
ried in Marietta forty-nine years ago.
Mrs. Warren was the daughter of Jesse
Dobbs, who was a resident of Marietta
in the '40s. Mr.. Warren must have had
premonition of his death for he wound
up his estate, and surely his house was
set in order" Mrs. Warren has a large
number of relatives here. In the death
o. Mr.. Warren Elberton loses one of
her best and most honored citizens.
The Elberton Star says: "Mr. Warren
was good man, loved and honored by
his family, esteemed by his neighbors
and friends. His life was one charac-
terized by honesty and integrity of
character. He leaves wife, Mrs. Mary
Dobbs Warren, and four children, Mrs.
B. H. Thornton, Mrs, DIR. G. E. Earle,
Mr.. j. j. Warren, of Elberton, and Mr..
John M. Warren, of Marietta, to mourn
the loss of a faithful husband and affec-
tionate father and the community to
miss the influence and association of a
true citizen and useful and honorable
man."
