ISOLATION began its annual meeting at
the Savoy hotel on Thursday after
noon. A trip was taken over the city
as a starter after which a social
time was had and matters were dis
cussed informally. The members are
here more to talk over matters relat-
ing to their work and get acquainted
with one another, than anything else.

COUNTY CLERKS GO HOME.
No Definite Action Is Taken Concern
ing Assessment Reforms.

The County Clerks association adj
journed last night after a two days
session discussing proposed tax legisla-
ton.
I'VE have not decided what bill we
will support" said John Chain, the
president. What we want is some
thing simple and easy to understand.
We want the counties all assessed alike.
There will be five or six bills intro
duced and we want the county clerks
to look over all the bills and suggest
which can be adopted. The county
clerks know more about this matter
than any one else and, while we do not
want to dictate legislation, we think
that the legislative committee can give
some good pointers to the members of
the legislature regarding what should
be done.'

TO PUSH THE VIADUCT.
City Railway Hasn't Given Up Pro-
posed Improvement.

The street railway will endeavor to
build the proposed viaGuct over the
Santa Fe tracks on Branner street. The
whole question of building to all in
tents has hinged on the attitude of the
people in that vicinity. By a vigorous
campaign among these people the
street railway company has overcome
the principal objections and with the
exception of party has satisfied the
people who have hitherto INSTRUCTED
the work.
How the council feels on the subject
Is something which the railway COM
pany has not yet definitely ascertained.
Vice President Myers of the Topeka
street railway will arrive in the city
tomorrow noon and the matter will
be discussed with him and some solu-
ton arrived at. However, the COM
pany does not expect to bring it before
the council at next weeks session.

AS a matter of fact there are but

southern Kansas get for a dollar each

leading role of 1.-THE Tenderfoot" and
who also wrote the book has been

the same play at Boston.
Topeka people are asked to pay the

the entire original production was

Through a typographical error in

PRINCIPALS ARE POOR,
Those in the Tenderfoot Are Far Be-
low the Standard.

Atchison, Kan, Dec S0.-"The
Tenderfoot' was seen at the Atchison
theater last night. The production
this year is not up to the standard set
by the original company which pre-
scented this play throughout this sec
ton a year or so ago. While the
chorus may be considered nearly as
good as that of the original company,
the principals are far inferior to the
principals seen here first in the orig
inal production. The company num-
bers about As people.
The above dispatch from Atchison
to the State Journal proves the state

tended argument, backed by half a
dozen law books, to show, in the Ian
guage of the common citizen, that
what a husband owns is his and that
what his wife owns is his also and that
therefore a husband could not steal
from his wife. Judge McCabe took no
stock in the legal contention, but he
decided that Robbins was not guilty
of anY theft and discharged him.
