that Office. Mr.. Bigham recalled some
representative elections during the past
fifteen years. H. E. Richter had but
majority, he said. in 1893; Repre-
sentative j. NJ. Miller, a candidate for
the legislature in 1894, had been de-

small majorities in 1898 and 1900. Two

of the United States, from Kansas, and
has been for some years, with an office
of considerable standing and dignity.

that the transfer of the lola club and

consummated. 1t is true that negotia-

places will succeed lola and Fort Scott.

Mr.. Neal at Guthrie assured me that he

and that he was satisfied that Barnes

The story emanated entirely from
Oklahoma City. Since that time the
other interested parties have been de-

is evident from Barnes letter that he at

HAzEN TO DECIDE 1T.
Has the Search and Seizure Question
Under Amusement.

In the district court the right of the po-
lice to seize liquor under search and
seizure warrant has been raised in the. re-
plevin suit brought by z. 8. Lee against
Chief of Police Stahl and Judge Hazen
has the question under advisement.
Lees drug store was raided by Stahl
and liquor was seized on search and seiz-
ure warrant Lee replevined the liquor
and the point raised is that the police
court has no right to issue such a war
rant. The contention is made on the
ground that the supreme court has decid-
ed that a police court has no civil juris-
diction, and another supreme court decis-
ion that liquor is property and not con-
traband and that in Selling liquor on a
search and seizure warrant from a police
court the police court is exceeding its
powers.
Should Judge Hazen sustain the conten-
ton the question will undoubtedly go to
the supreme court. Should the right of

DOES TOPEKA NEED AN AUDITOR
Councilman S. A. Swendson Thinks
1t Does.

S. A. Swendson, councilman from the
Sixth ward, believes that Topeka needs
a city auditor, and he is thinking of
presenting to the council a resolution
instructing the city clerk to assume the
duties of that Office. Mr.. Swendson
thinks that the city clerk has plenty of
time and that he might as well make
it his business to carefully inspect and
audit every bill which comes before the
council for consideration.
There IL no doubt that the bills
which the city pays would bear lot
more investigation without injury to
the city. The claims and accounts COM
mittee is supposed to investigate all
bills, but 1t does not have time to do
this thoroughly. So Mr.. Swendson
thinks that the council should hold the
city clerk responsible for the accuracy
of all claims.

THOLEN HASN'T SOLD.
lola Baseball Franchise Is Still Owned
In Kansas.

Two weeks ago story was sent
broadcast through the Western asso-
citation territory that the lola fran
chise had been sold to Oklahoma City.
latter place.
Numerous contrary reports have
been flying around concerning the
deal. President Shiveley said in an
statement was not true, although
negotiations were pending. To find
out the exact conditions, a letter was
addressed to Herman Tholen. sole
owner of the lola franchise.
He returned an answer to the State
Journal today, short, terse and to the
point. 1t follows:
Topeka State Journal. Topeka, Kan.
Sfrs-We have not sold out to
Oklahoma City. Respectfully yours,
H. THOLEN.
And that seems to be the situation.
Yet President Shiveley is laying plans
for next year just as If Oklahoma City
and Guthrie were both in the league.
Either for the sake of diplomacy the
sale has not yet been concluded, or the
participants are still haggling over
lister announced the sale price as $500.
That seems ridiculous. If only $500
can be obtained for franchise and
for a crack pennant winning aggrega-
ton like last years lola team, there is
not the money in baseball which there
is ordinarily believed to be.
To further arrive at the exact con-
dition of the Oklahoma City-Iola deal
a letter was addressed to z. A. Barnes,
to whom it was reported the Lamp
lighter franchise had been sold. He
was asked to say something about his
deal. His letter is somewhat vague,
but would practically lead anyone to
believe that the sale had been entirely
concluded. His answer follows in
part:

OSBORN MAY BUILD.
Not Unlikely That He VIII Be Per-

1t is likely that w. L. Osborn viii.
after all. build his $1,000 crematory
in this city. He has offered to con-
cede the point in regard to the loca-
ton of the plant, which was the
stumbling block in the way of the
former negotiations, and it is likely
that at the council meeting Tuesday
night. he will have something definite
to present in the way OF a proposed
franchise.
There was a special meeting of the
board Of health and the health and
sanitation committee called for Thurs
day afternoon. at which Mr.. Osborn
submitted some propositions, and 10
was decided to resume negotiations
for the construction of the plant. Mr..
Osborn said he would be willing to
accede to the committees demand
that the plant be located at least half
a mile from the river. Heretofore he
has insisted that he could not afford to
change the location of the plant be-
cause the company has money tied up
in its present site.

BEHIND THE RECORD.
Six Day Cycle Riders Not Making
Best of Time.

New York, Dec 9.-Another team, the
Sulkin- Rockowitz combination, withdrew
from the six day bicycle race today, leav-
ing only ten teams of the eighteen who
started away on the long journey at mid
night on Sunday. They simply got tired
of the hopeless grind, and, as the day was
breaking, gave up the struggle. At the
time Sulkins and Rockowitz were nearly
100 miles behind the leaders, so that their
retirement will have no bearing on the
result.
The riding during the night was a.
steady pace with occasional sprints. At s
clock, after 104 rounds of riding, the
leading teams were 240 miles behind the
record established by Miller and Waller in
1899. The standing at that hour was as
follows.

THEY DON'T ATTEND CHAPEL.
Washburn Finds Fault With Members
of the Faculty.

The washburn Review this week
takes a shot at the faculty for not at
tending chapel with more regularity.
The criticism comes in the shape OF an
editorial, which follows:
The church colleges differ as insti-
tutions of learning from the state in
stitutions in requiring their student
1t is plausibly argued that daily at
tendance at chapel teaches the stu
dent to be more regular in his worship
and to take more interest in things
religious.
Washburn has always required her
students to attend her chapel exer-
cises each morning, and the influence
exerted by prominent divines, noted
lecturers and members of the faculty
who lead in the services has always
been great and important in moulding
the character of the student. The one
thing impressed on the young men and
young women striving week by week
to advance themselves and make
themselves better men md women is
the necessity of leaving the daily task
for a while and, Join for q few minutes
each day in songs of praise and serv-
ice to their Creator. This idea Is
urged frequently and they see within
year or two at the most after enter
ing college its very great benefit to
them.
However, though the student can
see it is right from. the standpoint
of the institution and beneficial to
them both intellectually and spiritual
ly to attend chapel each day and can
see that the laying aside of their work
for a few moments will help them In
every way, they rebel a little at the
thought of having anything compul-
sorry when it is so largely Impractical
by the faculty whose actions they are
supposed to emulate.
The attendance of the faculty body
at chapel is not large. A record taken
for fifteen days shows that the aver
age attendance of those in the habit of
attending more or less often exclusive
of those who rarely ever go) is less
than so per cent. Two of the instruc-
tors had an average of 100 per cent.
1t is a little Inconsistent for the in
stitution to ask those whom it is sup
posed to teach to attend morning ex-
ercises when the preceptors and pre-
ceptresses themselves remain in their
class room at their daily routine work.
What is good for the students ought
to be equally beneficial to the faculty.
or at least that body ought to be
mindful enough of its influence over
them to fill their chairs on the chapel
rostrum with a little more regularity.

Many Men Getting Sensible Habit.

In the last few days it has become
the popular thing to step in Stansfield' g
drug store and get q pocketful OF
wadsworth Bros "Chicos," a SC cigar
that has caused many men to get what
may be called the "Chicos'' habit.
It is far more sensible to smoke a
good SC cigar like the Chico (and
there is no other SC cigar like it) than
to pay double the price and get no bet
ter smoke. 1t is made with a clear, long
Havana filler. and is especially pleas
ing to the man who has been smoking
10c or two for quarter cigar. It
burns freely. and tastes good clear to
the stub.
Try a Chico and see if you, too. do
not get into the habit of frequenting
Stansf1eld's drug store for your supply
of cigars.
