GAS MEN GO HOMEWORK
May Have TO Do With Plans for Re
construction of Plant.

Charles K Holiday and Eugene Ha-
gan went to New York Wednesday ev-
ening; P. J. Diehlmann went to Cha
mute. These moves are believed to have
some significance in connection with
the extensive reconstruction operations
which have been undertaken by the Elk
celsior Coke & Gas company.
Mr. Holiday is president and Mr.. Ha-
gan general counsel for the Excelsior
Coke & Gas company. P. J. Diehlmann
is superintendent. It is SAID that some
important move is, on foot. aF-z
1t is regarded as probable that the
owner of the gas company, A. N. Brady
of New York, may be planning to take
an interest in the gas and oil fields in
this state. Nothing would be more
natural than that he should plan to own
and control his own supply of oil, to
be used in the operation of his propos-
ed water gas plants here and else
where. Superintendent Diehlmann's
trip to Chanute may have to do with
the company's oil supply.

NJ. Jaurez, today made public the
text of manifesto of the revolution
airy, socialist and other opposition par
ties in Russia. which he says,
was issued simultaneously throughout
Europe. The manifesto is signed by
representatives of the various revolu-
tionary and socialist parties of the en-
pire, particularly in European Russia,
Poland and Finland, who recently
have been holding secret meetings
The manifesto leaves the individual
parties free to pursue their own meth
DDS of opposition to the government,
but pledges the union of all the ele-
ments of the opposition to secure the
abolition of autocracy and the substi-
tuition of democratic system based
upon universal suffrage, the revocation
of the measures destructive of the
constitution of Finland and the sup
preston of the violence of the central
government against various sections
of the empire"
The manifesto closes as follows:
THE parties represented here will
unite their efforts for the purpose of
Fastening the inevitable fall of alb
solutism.''
NJ. Jaurez says that the uniting of
the opposition parties is part of the
movement for the adoption of demo-
cratic institution in Russia which he
declares will be the most important
historical achievement since the
French revolution.

did not return, he went to his room,
leaving his dinner untouched on the
table. That was the last seen of him

lawyer of this city. He graduated
from Princeton in the class of 1890.

Guilty in having insane persons taken
into custody by the sheriff, the
county authorities will not allow the
officers fees for such work.
Some time ago word was sent to the
sheriff's Office that an insane man in
the southern part of the county was
threatening people and a request was
made that the sheriff take him in
charge. Sheriff Lucas made a long
drive and captured the man and placed
him in the county jail. Later a war
rant was issued and the man was tried
on an insanity charge in the probate
court. When Sheriff Lucas presented
his bill for fees In capturing the man
County Auditor Cav refused to allow
the bill on the ground that the sheriff
is not entitled to fees for any work
performed before the issuance of a
warrant In most of the insanity cases
the officers are called to arrest the in
sane persons before a warrant is is
sued, as there is delay in issuing war
rant and the protection of the people
in the neighborhood demands the i'm
mediate taking into custody of the in
sane persons. Now Sheriff Lucas will
refuse to go after any insane persons
until the warrant is issued.

MAY USE 1T FOR A HOME.
b. NJ. Davies VIII Reft Topeka Club
Property as a Residence.

Mr.. B. NJ. Davies, accompanied by
Mrs. Davies, left today for California
where they expect to remain until May.
IN the meantime 1t will be finally de-
termined what he will do with the pro-
perty now occupied by the Topeka club
which he has just purchased. 1t is Mr..
Davies present intention to have the
building srefitted for use as his resi-
dence after May 1, says Albert Park
err. who is Mr.. Davies agent.
The price paid by Mr.. Davies for the
property was So, 500. 1t belonged to Mrs.
Harriet D. Shepard of New Hamp-
shire, a daughter of the late James NJ
Davies. The building was erected by
Mr.. Davies and has never been out OF
the family and has never even been In
numbered in any way.
Secretary Lewis says the Topeka
club has a lease on the Davies prop
erty which does not expire until No
vember, 1905, and it is likely that the
club will make use of the lease un-
less the members decide to build or
lease other quarters before the ex-
piration of the lease.
It may be that the Topeka club Will
build. Before Mr.. Davies bought the
property the club contemplated buy
ing the property and would have done
so had not Mr.. Davies bought the
property.
