Strange Wills.

sent for her solicitor 10 dispose of her
estate. Rereft of speech, she was I'm
able TO give directions Tie solicitor
wrote down the various items on so
many cards; then on other cards he
wrote the names Of the lady's family
That done, lie dealt" the cards As
he did so his client coupled property
with names, and he was able to dray;
up the will. 1t was declared good by
the court.

PEOPLES ICE co. LOSES
Seymour Company May Sell Ice if 1t
Wishes To.

Judge Hazen this morning decided
a demurrer in the suit of the Peoples
Ice and Fuel company against Sey-
mour & Co. in favor of the defend
ants, which carries with it a prac-
teal decision of the suit.
The suit was to secure an injunction
against Seymour & Co. to prevent that
company from selling ice. The prin-
cipal plaintiffs to the suit are Vincent
Kaczynski and r. f. Hodgins, of the
ice company. The principal defend
ants are the Moeser brothers, of the
Seymour company. The Moesers
agreed to sell a certain amount of the
output of the Moeser ice plant to the
Peoples Ice company, and to refrain
from selling ice. Then the Moesers
sold the ice plant to the Continental
creamery and the agreement was as
signed to the creamery company. The
Peoples Ice company was reorganized
and made the Peoples Ice and Fuel
company, and that end of the agree
ment was assigned to the new COM
pany. The Moesers became interested
in Seymour & Co. and began selling
ice. The Peoples Ice and Fuel COM
pany wished the Seymour company to
stop, as the MoeserS were in the COM
pany. Many technical legal questions
were involved. Judge Hazen decided
that the petition of the Peoples Ice
and Fuel company did not state a
cause of action.

DECREASE is 5S2
Detailed Registration L. Made
Up Today.
Fifth Ward Comes Forward
With Big Increase.
DROP IN THE FIRST.
1t Amounts to 439 in That
Ward.
Who're the Polling Places May
Be, Found.
DROP IN THE FIRST

The total male registration of the
city of Topeka, corrected and revised.
is 9,5S2. This is a decrease of $50
over 1900. the last presidential cleo
ton
The largest decrease, as has been
expected. was in the First ward. Four
years ago the registration there was
1,911; this year it is 1,472, a decrease
of 439.
The Second ward shows falling oft
of an even $50 in its registration from
two years ago.
There is a slight decrease also IN
the Fourth and Sixth wards.
The Fifth ward shows a big in
crease, its total male registration hav-
ing risen from S96 in 1900 to 1.163
this year, an increase of 267, which is
an increase of nearly 80 per cent. This
is a phenomenal increase, and indi-
Gates that the population of the Fifth
ward has been taking a wonderful
shoot during the past four years.
The Third ward shows an increase
of 6 over it's registration for 1900.
Women are eligible to vote in the
city of Topeka on the two bond prop
ositions which will be submitted, but
they have no vote in the general cleo
ton. In 1900 there were no bond
propositions submitted, so no record
was kept of the women's registration.
Inere mas not Deen mucn OF any
change in the female registration since
the city election last April. Even in
the First ward, where the people are
all trying to get out a big vote for
the Melan bridge proposition, the reg
istration of women is very light in
proportion to the population.
Election Commissioner L. S. Will
liams denies the report that a voting
machine is to be tried in the fourth
precinct of the Fourth ward. He says
that this story had no foundation in
fact, and it was probably printed as an
advertisement for a certain kind of
voting machines. Mr.. Williams was
asked to inspect this machine, and
found on investigation that it was not
at all suitable for this election.
1t did not provide enough places for
candidates, and neither did it give any
place for submitting the two bond
propositions. The hopes of the manu-
facturer that it would be given a test
in the election were therefore shat
tered.
The polls will open at 6 O'Clock
Tuesday morning, in order to give Ia
boring men a chance to vote before
going to their work.
The following is the complete regis
tration of the city by precincts

TRAVIS DIDN'T WANT OFFICE.
Frank l.. Travis Writes Letter to
LaCySne Editor.

Bruce Dennis, editor of the LaCygue
Journal. in an editorial in support of
Bowersock charged Frank L. Travis of
lola, one of the anti-Bowersock Re-
publicans, with being against Bower
sock because Bowersock did not get
him job. To this Travis has written
an open letter to Dennis in which he
says:
If you will get Mr.. Bowersock to
say 1 or any of my friends ever asked
him for an appointment of any kind
wherein 1 would be the beneficiary, I
will gladly take off my coat and work
for his reelection on November s.
I'm the event of your failure to get
Mr.. Bowersock to make this statement,
you are to stand charged with having
wilIfully and maliciously manufaetur-
ed that part of the article relating 20
myself out of whole cloth. for cam
paign purposes.
THAT part of the article wherein you
charge me with being a Leland man, 1
plead guilty to, for the reason that up
to this time, Cyrus Leland has not
been charged with discovering Kelly or
Burton. have carefully looked
through my repertoire of Leland
dances. and 1 have failed to find sim

BETTING ON ELECTION,
Kelly and His Supporters Put Up
Much Money.

Betting seems to be one of the nee
essary evils accompanying an cleo
ton.
About $500 has been bet at Ea-
giles cigar store. at odds of 3 to /,
that T. T. Kelly will be elected state
treasurer. This money has been grad
uaIly posted. from time to time during
the past week, and it has been snapped
UP as fast as it has been posted. This
afternoon about $500 more was post
ed on the same terms. and it is being
taken very rapidly. Which indicates
that Topeka people are quite thor
oughly conversant with the sentiment
against Kelly which permeates the
state.
1t is believed that all the money on
Kelly which has been posted at odds
himself and a crowd of his friends,
among whom may be numbered Frank
Grimes, Harry Trivolli, Dave Mulvane
and Eugene Hagen. The State Journal
tried to verify this report at Eagles
cigar store, but it was impossible to
gain information as to who put up
money with them.
Quite a lot of money has also been
bet on Charles Curtis election. DOC"
Newman, one of the Curtis managers,
said today that there was three or four
thousand to bet that Curtis would be
elected.
At Eagles this money is posted at
odds of three to one that Curtis will be
elected and even money that he will
get $500 plurality
In addition to the bets on Kelly and
Curtis quite a number of bets on the
of the contest for president have been
posted. The interest however, centers
in the result of the election for state
treasurer and governor.
