CON CHUMOS1 RETURNS.
Thrifty Topeka Greek Brings Wife
From Native Land

Con Chumos returned Saturday
from a ten months visit in his native
land, Greece. The proper way to ad-
dress Mr. Chumos now is Colonel"
He was drafted into the Greek army
while home, and required to pay 5000
to escape serving his allotted time in
the ranks.
The title of colonel was not the
only thing that Mr.. Chumos brought
back with him. He has a wife and
sist&r in his care now, and Will PROB
ably build a house here in Topeka
and make himself a home Speaking
of his matrimonial venture, Mr.
Chumos says:
II did not have any intention of
getting married when 1 went over to
Greece, but after 1 had been there a
while my relatives got after me and
told me 1 ought to get married and
settle down. Well, 1 looked around
some. and decided to take their advice
My wife's name is Maria we nave
been married about two months
Miss CordeIia Chumos is the name
of the sister who has come to Amer
lea to make her home with her
brother.
s.Greece is a nice place to visit. =
says Mr.. Chumos, but this is the only
country to live in. 1 have lived in To-
peka for sixteen years now, ana II
suits me all right"
incidentally it might be mentioned
that Mr.. Chumos came here to Topeka
with barely capital enough to start a
banana stand on the corner, and now
owns several fruit and confectionery
stores, a lot of real estate, and has a
fat bank account besides.

BIG DRUG swINDLE
Has Been Broken Up by the New
York Police.

New York. Oct. 10--The New York
police are convinced that they have
broken up a gigantic drug swindle by
the arrest of several men in this city
The arrests were made on informa-
ton that we'll known proprietary med
icines were being counterfeited and
sold as genuine and the authorities
assert that the investigation is not
complete
Drugs seized at the apartment of
Howard Z. Wocten today it is said, are
valued at $4,000. Wooten IS one of
the men under arrest. The others
are S B. Minden, Manville Thomas,
Charles $ Horn. Charles E. Risley
and Walter :. Hockey. 1t is asserted
BY local detectives that lists were
found in the places raided giving the
names of 5000 druggists throughout
the country TO whom dangerous mix
lures made in New York were sold.
II is said that the most important
ind in the raids was the circulars sent
out to druggists and containing the
code by which they could order the
preparations. 1t IS alleged by the
police that preparations made by the
best known chemical firms in Europe
were counterfeited. In circulars dis
covered was the statement: 'All these
goods are genuine, in original pack
ages and unopened" The price list
showed that the drugs in the list were
being sold at from Is to so per cent
below the usual selling price.

C1GARMAKERs HEARD FROM.
Call on City Council to Close Water.
works Deal.

The Cigarmakers' union at it's last
meeting unanimously elected a commit
tee to draft an address for publication
calling on the city council to immed-
lately consummate the deal with the
water company by purchasing the wa
ter plant. Following is the address:
We view with alarm the dilatory tao
tics of some of our councilmen.
In this country the people are the
court of last resort and the people by
their ballots have spoken in two cleo
tions. The majority has said buy the
water plant The edict has been issued;
the command has been given; why this
back talk and pickering at this time?
Certain councilmen ON account of the
poor condition of the plant, inadequate
pressure for fire protection etc, advo-
cate the policy of not buying the plant
at all; and with the very next breath
they advocate the granting of new
franchise to the company. Think of this
cratic reasoning on the part of our
councilmen. For the last fifteen years
or more the water company has stead
lastly refused to comply with its fran
chise contract in the way of extending
the water mains and is right now re-
fusing to furnish adequate pressure
These erratic councilmen would con-
tinue this company with its short mains

MAY BUILD SIDE TRACK
Adams Street Property Owners Lose
Their Fight.

BY the unanimous vote Of the
streets and walks committee, taken
Saturday afternoon after the commit
tee had made a patrol wagon trip
to inspect the situation, it was de-
cided to recommend favOrably the APP
plicatiOn of the Santa Fe for permits
sion to build a sidetrack on Adamz
street from Fifth to Tenth
The committee decided that the con-
struction of the sidetrack would not
in any way interfere with the peace
and safety of the residents on the west
side of Adams street. nor would it
in any way reduce the width of the
roadway in front of their premises The
only objection was that there would be
more cars passing by their premises.
and possibly more cars standing in
front of their dooryards- The COM
nitteo did not consider this objection
to be of sufficient weight TO prevent
the construction of the sidetrack.
The committee also visited the pro-
posed site of the Branner street via
duct. and also the place where the
Rock Island wants TO build a sideurack.
but no action was taken on either of
these matters. They were laid over
until the next meeting on Friday,

TO STOP sCoRCHING.
Chicago Is Aroused Over Reckless
Automobile Driving.

Chicago, Oct. 1o.-Reckless auto
mobile driving is to be stopped by
the authorities of Chicago. Warned
by the appalling increase in accidents,
many of them fatalities, City Electro
clan Elliott will take up with the West
Park commissioners the matter of en-
forcing the speed limit ordinance, and
after securing their cooperation, will
draft fifty policemen as a scorch-
ing squad" to arrest the drivers of all
machines that run faster than ten ten
miles an hour on the west side.
All the park boards have been asked
to cooperate. The south park COM
missioners have agreed to work in
cola bora ton with the city authorities
in the suppression of mad driving. The
west park board has decided to take
up the matter at its next meeting when
it will confer with the city officials.
The Lincoln park commissioners are
expected to come in later. though the
police of the north shore boulevard
system alone have been extremely ac-
tive in stopping the evil.
A list of accidents compiled by Mr..
Elliott shows that since January 1,
1904, eighty mishaps have occurred in
Chicago. Nearly every one is attrib-
uted to reckless scorching- In some
aseS the machines that manned or
injured persons In their course were
speeding at the rate of thirty and
forty miles an hour.
Three fatalities are included in the
list

cases on the docket, but most of them will
be settled without jury trial or will be
continued.
There are no cases of particular inter
est on the criminal docket. All of the
Baldwin cases, fourteen, will come before
the court. These are cases where the de-
PENDANTS are charged with selling liquor
without government license. There are
several cases under the charge of selling
liquor to the Indians. Cleveland and Ely
Licklyter are among the noted ones who
sell liquor to the Pottawatomies who will
be tried this term Enos Perkins, who
passed a counterfeit so gold piece in
Hiawatha. and Samuel j. Kennedy, who
passed a counterfeit so bills in Hutchin-
son, will be before the court.

search of his wife. He found her
on Jackson street near the corner of
Sixth avenue, but alas, she was not
alone. She was escorted by a person
unknown to her husband. So, in &C
cordance with the rules of Kentucky
etiquette, Mr.. Robbins drew a revolver
of very dinkey style and quality, and
took a couple of shots at the stranger
At the second shot the stranger was
half a block away, and before Rob
bins could get out a monkey wrench
and prepare the weapon for another
shot, was out in the suburbs and rap

ualty was a window. Mrs. Robbins
turned and fed toward the Masonic
building, and Robbins was prevented
by people who came out of Stein

with his hand. Then the coppers blew
in and took Mr.. Robbins hence. The
lady went along to the station, but

The police are getting deadly tired
of the system used by the Crawford
show company. These people order
policemen to arrest patrons of the the
alter gallery, and then refuse to come
down and make complaint against
them. This morning the Jail was half
full of small boys who were brought
down last night at the order of the
theater managers. Their offenseS con-
sisted of making audible remarks
about the quality of the show, and
throwing peanuts, wadS of paper and
other debris at the players They had
not come properly equipped, and there
were no dead cats or over-ripe fruit
| available. All the offenders against
the dignity of the Crawford syndicate
were let go this morning. and the
court issued a manifesto. Hereafter
no police officer shall arrest any per-
son at the Crawford opera house I'M
less he sees an offense committed. The
complaints of the management will be
honored only when they appear before
the court and make sworn complaint.

For this trivial theft Gilkey was fined
