Much of the interest attached to
the coming engagement of Agustus
Thomas play, "Arizona," is due to
the fact that since its former road
tour It has been made larger and
more expensive production In every
way. Last spring Managers LaShelle
and Raymond produced it at the
Academy of Music, New York, where
it played an engagement of $50 nights.
Due to the large stage at that thea
tire Messrs. LaShelle and Raymond put
"Arizona" on In massive way and
the production intact as given during
this last New York run will be brought
here at Bells Opera House Thursday,

HE AFFIXES 0. K.
Coleman Finally Gives Written
Opinion Maintenance Fund
Proper Use Is for House
hold Expenses.
AFTER LONG DELAY.
Attorney General Confirms in
Writing Opinion
That Governor Had Right TO
Use His Own Fund.
AFTER LONG DELAY.

Attorney General Coleman has at
last come out of the woods and has
put into writing the opinion which he
gave Governor Bailey and Assistant
Auditor Nation, in which he stated
that the use of the governors main
tenance fund to pay the expenses of
living in the executive residence was
legal and the use for which it was in
tended by the legislature.
After waiting three weeks for Mr..
Coleman to write this opinion, the
State Journal criticised him somewhat
Thursday for his delay. Thereupon
Mr.. Coleman gave out the opinion and
Immediately left for his home at Clay
Center, to remain until after election.
This knocks another prop out from
under the detractors of Governor Bal
ley, who are also the defenders of t.
t. Kelly Governor Bailey's record
has been searched through and
through to find something against
him. The only thing that couId be
found was the use of this mafnten-
ance fund. The Topeka Capital and
other Kelly organs have maligned
Governor Bailey, at the instance of
Kelly, and at the same time they
upheld Kelly, the embezzler. They
tried to make it appear that Governor
Bailey had misused this fund-that it
was meant only to keep the executive
residence in repair. although there is
a separate appropriation for that pur-
pose. Governor Bailey has been
abused and maligned shamefully, and
it was all done in an effort to direct
public attention away from an en-
bezzler.
And now one of their own number
is compelled to give a written opinion
that Governor Bailey was right. The
governor used the maintenance fund
to live in the gubernatOrial residence
only after an oral opinion from Attor
ney General Coleman. and Mr.. Nation
audited the governors accounts only
after receiving a similar opinion. Mr..
Coleman has taken three weeks to put
into writing the opinion he gave Gov
ernor Bailey and Mr.. Nation orally.
If he was trying to find some author
ity for reversing himself, he failed to
do so. If he was not trying to find
some such authority he was simply
temporizing and playing for time.
Mr.. Coleman's opinion proves abso-
lutely that Governor Bailey acted
legally in this matter, following the
advice of the states legal counsellor,
and this was the only thing in Cover
nor Bailey's entire record that the de-
tenders of T. t. Kelly could bring up
against him.

POLITICAL GOSSIP
Registration Figures Show a
Healthy Increase.
About ZOO in Excess of Four
Years Ago.
LARGE I'm THE CITIES.
Vote VIII Be as Large or Larger
Than Before.
Not as Many Spoiled Ballots as
Two Years Ago.
LARGE In THE CITIES.

Registration figures for nineteen of
the first and second class cities of KAN
sas show registration of about 1,700
in excess of that of 1900, and s, ,58S in ex-
cess of 1902.
This would indicate that the vote in
the cities will be as large or larger
than that of four years ago. when the
total was 1853, ,766, providing the country
voters turn out well. In some localities
there will be full vote from the eoun-
try but in others it is quite probable
that some farmers will stay at home.
1t seems probable, however, that the
vote of 1900 will be duplicated in num-
berS.
The counted vote two years ago,
which was an off year, was only 287, ,16S,
but to this should be added something
like %, 900 or 10000 votes which were
cast but not counted because of spoiled
ballots. There will not be nearly as
many spoiled ballots this year because
the chance to spoil them has been obvi
ated to a large extent.
These registration figures were made
up from the newspapers on file in the
State Historical society. The figures
for Kansas City, Kan, and Topeka are
not given for the reason that the regis
tratiOn books have not yet been made
up and the duplicates weeded out. In
Topeka the registration will be less
than four years ago, but in Kansas City
it will be about the same. In Pittsburg
the figures are given for this year, but
are not available for 1902 and 1900, so no
comparisons can be given.
In Chanute, Winfield and Parsons
comparisons are made with 1902 but
not with 1900.
In the nineteen towns in which a rec
ord has been secured for the three
years, the total registration is 4s,4o9
this year, against AZ, 783 in 1902, and
46, 671 in 1900.
The registration figures secured are

TO SET 1T ASIDE.
Suit by Missouri Pacific to NulIify
Order of Board.

Thursday afternoon suit was filed in
the district court by Waggener, Dos
ter & Orr, attorneys for the Missouri
Pacific and Central Branch railroads,
against the Kansas board of railroad
commissioners to have a decision of
the board set aside.
The board decided that the Mis-
souri, Pacific should build a switch at
jamestown to the elevator of the
jamestown COOPERATIVE Grain, Mil
ling, Live Stock & Mercantile associa-
ton. The order by the board was
made after the road had refused to
build it. The railroads claim that the
land should not be condemned and
that the switch should not be built,
and that furthermore the jamestown
association is a combine in violation
of the Kansas antitrust law. as the
association does not allow members to
sell to any other than the association
or it's members and if they do sell to
others the penalty is one cent per
bushel of wheat, II cent per bushel
of corn and one per cent Of the selling
price of cattle.

even though they are not stamped they
were the property of the state, accord
| ing to the showing made by the records
| of the school fund commissioners From
the preposterous claims made by Kel-
ly's defenders thus far, in another day
or two they will be claiming That the
Garden City shortage was really no
shortage at all.
The truth is that the Garden City
coupons were state property, although
not so stamped, and T. t. Kelly knew
they were state property That IS why
A. r. Brown" mysteriously returned
the money to the state treasury when it
was discovered that the state account
ants were investigating the Garden CITY
bonds State Treasurer Kelly collected
the money for these coupons personally,
and if such a person as A r. Brown
exists Kelly paid the money to him.
Nobody believes, of course, that there
is such a person as "A. r. Brown,
otherwise Kelly would have disclosed
his identity long before this.
The second coupon on the Garden
City bonds was not stamped as state
property, but Kelly had that in his
possession and seems to have had no
doubt about it's belonging to the state,
for he collected the money on them
and turned it in last February.
Some kind of chicanery seems to
have been worked in other cases to
keep coupons from being stamped,
and now the bond record in the state
auditors office has been mutilated and
altered until nothing can be proved
by it except that somebody has been
tampering with it. Therefore the state
accountants followed the records of
the school fund commissioners in the
purchase of bonds, and the records of
the treaSurer's Office in accounting for
funds paid. There may be instances
where the school fund commissioners
allowed coupons to be clipped without
making a record of it, but the fact
that a record was made of many such
instances shows that it was the in
tention to make the record show it.
Notwithstanding the claims of Kelly
and his defenders, it seems probable
that many of the coupons which are
not stamped were the property of the
state just as they We're in the Garden
City instance.
On the other hand many of the cou-
pons ON which money was paid into the
state treasury but not accounted for,
We're stamped as state property and
there is not particle of question but
what the money belonged to the state.
There are many instances of this kind.
but the defenders of Kelly carefully
avoid mentioning them. In some in
stances the state had been collecting the
coupons for years before the missing
coupon was clipped. This happened in
the $2,625 Johnson county shortage, the
Reno county shortages, the 81 $40 Cow
ley county shortage and others.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.
Washburn Academy Team to Play
HOItOn High School.

Saturdays football game at Wash
burn between the Washburn academy
and the Holton high school will begin
at o'clock, and the admission will be
the usual high school price. 25 cents.
Washburn's lineup presents an en-
tirely new list of aspirants for foot
ball honors. None of the players have
ever participated in the college games,
nor have they been tried as substitutes.
There are some of the men who will
no doubt be heard of in the future. The
teams average weight is about 140,
and the backfield is strong. 1t is not
expected that a very high degree Of
team work will be manifested as the
academy bunch has not been practicing
together long. Holton's team is said to
average about 135 pounds. The Holton
boys will arrive in Topeka Saturday
noon. The Washburn lineup is as fol-
lows:
Right end, Heap; right tackle. Ly-
tie: right guard, Titus; center, Whit
pey; left guard. Foster; left tackle,
Trull; left end, Whiting; quarter, Pow
man; right half, Wedding; left half,
Maxwell; fullback Lee.
