NEW INDUSTRY COMING.
Upholstering Company Moves Here
from Abilene.

Another industry Will be added to the
string of new manufacturing enterprises
which have come to Topeka within the
past eight months. The Standard Uphol-
STEERING company will remove here from
Abilene and locate at $40 Kansas avenue.
The Standard Upholstering company man
ufactures lines of furniture in addition to
contra citing for large upholstering jobs.
The firm employs ten hands and the fam
lies of these employees will remove from
Abilene to Topeka.
At first it looked as If Topeka would
have to give up securing this new factory
for lack of proper building. The town was
searched high and low, but nothing suita-
BILE was discovered, but within the last
few days the building at $40 Kansas ave-
nue. was offered.
The first Commercial club meeting in
several months will be held Friday even
ing The most important item which will
come up will be the trade train which it
proposed to run, out of Topeka to a num-
Der of the surrounding towns The trade
train will boom and boost-for Topeka.

GASHED HIS WRISTS.
Fred Scraper Used Glass to Open
Arteries.

Fred P. Scraper, an insane man, OPP
ened the arteries of his wrist with glass
broken from window at the county
Jail this afternoon and may die.
Scraper has been in the insane asy-
lum twice and was discharged as cured.
He was again locked up yesterday.
Jailer Lawson had notified him to get
ready for his trial and had stepped out
in the office for a moment when he
heard the crash of glass and rushed into
the cell room. Before he could get the
cell door open Scraper had gashed his
wrist in several places Severing the ar
teries. Jailer Lawson called for help
and held the arteries to prevent the loss
of blood until the doctors arrived. Ex-
cepting for the loss of blood it is pro-
bable that the injuries will not prove
serious.
Scraper has been running a feather
renovating esta blishment on lower Kan
sas avenue for some time and has not
been acting sane. Yesterday he came to
the county Jail and asked Sheriff Lucas
to protect him from some of his enc
mics who were pursuing him with a
view of burning him alive. He said that
they had already caught his partner
and cremated him and that he had
to make his escape by crawling through
window. He also told Sheriff Lucas
he thought he was again becoming
crazy. siss-t -

ROOsEvELT'S LEAD.
1t Is Being Followed by the Gar i'll
Matter of Peace Conference.

Washington, Sept 19.-..It seems to
the president that the high task under
taken in seeking to bring about an
agreement of the powers to meet in a
second peace conference is virtually ac-
complished so far as it is, appropriate
for him tolact, and, that with the gen.
eral acceptance of his invitation in prin-
ciple, the future conduct of the affair
may fifty follow its normal channels. To
this end it is suggested that the further
and necessary Interchange of views be-
tween the signateries of the act of 1899
be effected through the international
bureau under the control of a perman-
ent administrative council of The
Hague"
These are the words of the late John
Hay written December 16 last as an
instruction to the representatives of the
United States accredited to the govern
ment signatories looking to a recon
vention of The Hague conference ac-
cording to the records of the state de-
partment. On October q, 1904, Secre-
tary Hay, by direction of the president,
conferred with the powers with a view
of fixing a date for these subjects to
be discussed.
1t was stated an invitation was desir-
ed to meet.
The replies of Japan and Russia
conveyed in like terms a friendly re-
cognition. of the spirit and purpose
of the invitation, but on the part of
Russia the reply was accompanied by
the statement that. in the existing con-
dition of things in the Far East. it
would not be practicable for the inn
perial government at this moment to
take part in such a conference.
Therefore the president turned over
to the administrative council the con-
duct of the further negotiations. ne
cessary to secure an unciation of the
views of the respective powers to clear
the way. - 80
The president looked to the govern
ment of the Netherlands to issue the
call of the conference and it is the
present understanding that would be
done. 1t is assumed that what has
happened in st. Petersburg is that the
Russian government which as above
noted caused the postponement of the
second conference on account of war,
is now about to remove the obstacle
and has either notified or is about to
notify the administrative council that
| it is now willing to, proceed to the sec
ond conference. The state department
SO far has not yet been informed of
this decision. The next step in order
if the normal course is followed, is a
definite acceptance by the powers
when the second conference at the
Hague will meet before the next calen-
dar year.

crate into q melodrama of the yellow sort
Fitch delicately skates about the edge OF

The story is built about an attempt to

Then Rolfe's wife steps in and without re-
Yealing her identity worms herself into the

secures her confession of her trumpet UP

CORN CARNIvAL's COST.


Atchison, Kan, Sept. 19.-Atchison's
celebration cost about $4,000; prob
ably these figures will overrun a lit
tie This does not include street deco
rating, or money spent on features.
The bad weather increased the ex-
penses and reduced the income, so that
the $1,000 saved from three years ago
will be wiped out. The expenses were
much greater than ever before, the
unusual expenses including moving
pictures, the military, the corn prize.
Ellery's band, etc.
Three years ago, the Banda Rosa
played two concerts for $3.50; this year
it was necessary to pay Ellery $3.50
for four concerts. as he has larger
band. The income from licenses was
reduced because of unfavorable wealth
er, and Chief Sullivan quotes the
mayor as saying that the 500 meal
tickets issued by the city to stranded
excursionists, must be paid out OF the
money collected for licenses. The ex-
penses of extra police, which was con-
siderable, was also paid out of the
license fund.

ARREST A COUNTY ATTORNEY.
E. Hedrich of stevens County Charged
With Assault.

Governor Hoch has instructed Attor-
ney General Coleman to sign an infor-
nation which has been issued against
E. Hedrick, county attorney of Stevens
county, charging him with assault with
intent to kill
1t is the first time in the history of
the state so far as known, when a
crime of this kind has been laid at the
door of a county attorney. OF course it
is hardly to be supposed that the coun-
ty attorney would sign an information
against himself.
The charge is that County Attorney
Hedrick tried to kill Eli Brewer. Judge
VIM E. Hutchinson appointed A w.
Lambkin as attorney to prosecute He'd
rick but in order to make the informa-
ton good, it was necessary for the att
torney general to sign the information.
Precedent for such action was found
in the Wyandotte county Doodle cases,
when the attorney general took a hand
in the county cases as prosecutor

HUTCHINSON PAVING ROW.
Controversy Gets Into the Supreme
Court Today

F. L. Martin and C. NJ. Williams,
Hutchinson attorneys, were in Topeka
today, and presented to the supreme
court their arguments in the mandamus
suit brought by the Carey Salt company
and others against the mayor and city
council os Hutchinson.
The suit was brought to compel the
city council to pave the main street
with brick instead of bitulithic pave
ment. The petition called for brick, but
as no satisfactory bids were received,
the council went ahead and decided to
lay bitulithic. The property owners
started fight on this, on the ground
of additional expense. The judges of
the court heard the arguments, and
will probably give their opinion in the
case with the list of opinions which will
be handed down on September Z.
