BERRY GETS $4,000.
At Least That Is What Federal Court
Allowed Him.

The verdict of the federal court jury on
Friday afternoon awarded judgment of
$4,000 to J. J. Berry of Marion county
against Charles Hapgood, the millionaire
pillow maker of Alton, Ill. The latter,
through his attorneys, Carver and Lari-
mer md Charles Blood Smith filed a re-
quest with the court for argument in ia
vor of having the verdict set aside be-
cause the evidence did not warrant the
decision. This will probably be heard
next Monday.
The case was a complicated one, in
volving the terms of the contract between
the two parties litigant. Berry was en-
ployed by Hapgood to look after the lat
ter's extensive cattle ranches and farms
in the central part of the state. Accord
ing to the terms of the original contract
Hapgood agreed to give Berry half of the
earnings of the land after it paid an in
terest on the invested capital of per
cent. Several years ago the contract was
made over again. The words half of the
profits was omitted by mistake in part of
the papers, but inserted again before
signed. according to the statement of the
plaintiff. The jury was convinced that
the plaintiffs statement was true and re-
turned a verdict in his favor.
The farms earned during the IA years in
which they were in Mr.. Berry's control a
sum over $4,000: Mr.. Berry .stsAed this
morning that his share would be in the
neighbOrhood of $4,000

MRS. NATIONS Def.
She Wants to Debate With Some One
in Topeka
ssResoIved, That the Republican
party is the bftterest foe to Kansas"

@-ReSOlved. That the RepuDHcdAA
party is the bftterest foe to Kansas"
The staunch Republican party lead
ers and orators no doubt resent the
intimation that the Republican party
IS the bitterest foe to the stare OF
Kansas, but nevertheless Mrs. Carrie
Nation boldly declares such to be the
case.
Mrs Carrie Nation is in Topeka to-
day. She is here to speak at a PUBIC
meeting tonight at the tabernacle OF
the First Baptist church at the corner
of Tenth avenue and Jackson street
Mrs. Nation says she will be fair
with the Republicans of Kansas, and
she will give them an opportunity to
prove that the Republican party is not
the bitterest foe to the state, if they
desire to do SO.
Mrs. Nation wants to meet a. repre-
sentative Republican, one of the cam
paign orators or one of the party lead
ers, in public debate at the Auditorium
in Topeka in a discussion of the reso-
luton quoted above.
AS an incentive for the Republican
party to put forward it's brightest
speaker to meet Mrs. Nation. the Kan
sas joint smasher has announced that
she will pay the sum of $50 to the
person who will meet her in the de-
bate
IT will place $50 on deposit in any
bank in Topeka to be paid to the man
who consents to discuss this question
with me at the Auditorium said Mrs.
Nation to a reporter for the State
Journal today.
Mrs. Nation has already arranged
for a debate on this subject to take
place at Wichita, Kansas. She made
the challenge recently at Wichita and
S. c. Rooch, a prominent man of that
city, has decided to debate the queS-
ton with her.
Mrs. Nation is in earnest in her wish
TO debate this question with a repre-
sentative Republican in Topeka.
She is also in earnest in her belief
that the Republican party is the bitter
est foe to the state.
She has had a big sign painted and
placed on the walls of her building at
Twelfth and Kansas avenues teaching

TO GO TO A JURY.
Judge Pollock Decides to Submit
WaterworI1s Fire Case.

Judge Pollock of the United States
circuit court this afternoon ordered
the trial of the damage suits against
the Topeka Waterworks company by
Parkhurst-DaviS Mercantile company,
for failure to supply sufficient water
pressure on the night of the destruc-
ton of the latter by fire last February,
before a jury at the January term of
the federal court. The question to be
solved is whether the water company
is liable for the damages. If the
latter is held in the affirmative then an
other suit will have to be instituted
to settle whether the judgment can
be collected before the mortgages
which are now held on the water
company by easter trust concernes
are collected.
The order of the c)urt came up
UP IN the motion Of charles Blood
Smith, the water oon'pa,,ys repre-
sentative, to have II master in
chancery appointed to settle the ques-
ton Of liability. n. H. Loomis ad-
vanced an appeal court decision, which
declared the question one for jury.
Judge Pollock accepted this view.

display of revolvers frightened the
crowd back and the robbers turned and

Friday in a Santa Fe box car and
taken out to the Topeka pest house

soon.

Mrs. Nations second edition of her
book will number $4,000 copies.
Mrs. Nation had a sign painted
which bore the words, mo smoking
allowed on these premises and it was
placed on her building at Twelfth and
Kansas avenues.
The mischievous boys of the neigh

cordingly a few nights ago a gang ap-
peared on the corner and while one of
the number beat a big bass drum to
drown the noise made by taking down
the sign, the deed was done.
Mrs. Nation announces that another
sign will be made and placed where
the stolen sign formerly appeared.
