DICK THOMAS a CANDIDATE.
He VIII Be in the Race for Clerk of
District Court

While it seems rather early to talk
county politics, as the election will not
be held until next year, there are al
ready active candidates in the field.
This may be because it is generally
supposed that the man who enters the
race early has the inside track.
There will be a new face in Shaw
nee county politics next year in the
person of Richard l. Thomas, who
will be a candidate for clerk of the
district court to succeed I. L. Curtis
who viii not be a candidate for re-
election he having served two terms.
Dick Thomas, as he is better known,
may have a clear field for this position
It is one in which the lawyers are Dri-
marily interested and they are respon-
sible for his candidacy. It may there
fore transpire that there will be no
other candidate for the Republican
nomination.
Mr.. Thomas has lived in Topeka
since he was four years old and his
large acquaintance and general popu-
larity are strong factors in his favor.
He is an expert bookkeeper and has
the necessary qualifications for the
position. For twenty years he was
connected with the Daily Capital as
bookkeeper and treasurer of the COM
pany.

CAST OFF BY HIS SONS.
Man so Years Old Applies to Employ
ment Agent for Work.

Cast off from the sheltering roof of
a son who refused to take care of him
any longer and with pride stung to the
quick. an old man of the Horace Gree
ley school, 81 years Of age, entered tim
idly the Office of the free employment
bureau this morning and applied for
work. Any kind of work, he wasn't a
bit particular. Just let me know if
you have anything. I would be glad to
get anything" he said Wistfully as he
turned to leave the Office. And then
hesitating, he added its either get
come work or go to the poor farm and
I would rather commit suicide than do
that"
Years ago the old gentleman had a
nice little property in North Topeka
and provided with parental solieitude
for his children, four sons. His eyes
cleaned with pride as he saw them
grow up into staIwart young manhood.
But that gleam fingers in his eyes no
longer His sons have fallen away
from him and the fostering care which
he had q right to expect in his old age
has been denied him. The westward
slope of life holds out to him no sur
cease from labor but that is not both
ering him-far more bitter is the gnaw-
ing anguish which he harbors as he
realizes that ingratitude in the heart of
the son can exist towards his own par
ent.
"There is not a lazy bone in that
mans body" said the agent in the free
employment Office. We have given
him several jobs. Last summer he
stacked hay on a hundred acre farm
out here and never fell down until the
last day. He also worked with the
brick gang a while back"
Well preserved and cleanly in every
respect, looking nearer 70 than so the
old gentleman represented a fine type
of old age Hesitatingly and with a pa
thetic droop in his shoulders the old
man passed over the threshold of the
employment office, looking for work.

distinctly understood that he is not a
candidate for attorney general of the

MAY BUILD ENGINES
FOR THE RUSSIANS
Davenport Locomotive Works Re-
ceiVes Rush Inquiry From
Cars Government

The Davenport Locomotive Works
is in receipt of a cablegram from the
Russian government, inquiring if the
local company can fill a contract for
the shipment of 100 locomotives of the
type known as "dinkys" within 80
days and in case they can fill such an
order. to submit their bids at once
The local concern has replied by
cablegram that they can supply 80
of the required engines within the
specified time and possibly the entire
100, the latter condition depending
upon whether they may be able to Oh
tain the material for their construc-
ton in so short space of time. They
also forwarded their bid as requested.
The locomotives are in demand by
the Russian government for use in
her navy yards in the transporting
of materials, etc. for the construction
of the mammoth warshipS that are
now under way there and which the
present war with Japan has made
their early completion so urgent.

new TRIAL OF CROFT CASE
Difficult to Get an Impartial Jury in
Muscatine.

The Rock Island railroad. according
TO advices from Muscatine, has asked
for change of venue for the retrial
of the Croft case in which jury gave
Mrs. Croft $4,000 and Judge Barker
decided that the railroad company was
entitled to- a new trial unless the Crofts
would allow the scaling of the verdict
to $4,000. Ii is now alleged that il is
difficult to get an impartial jury in
Muscatne owing to the several trials
of the Croft cases there and prejudice
against the defendant. In case the
change is granted the place of trial
would probably be Davenport, as the
nearest court in the district.

EFFECT ON FAR EAST WAR
Japanese Consul Talks of Disturbance
in Russia.

New York, jan 25.-S. Uchida, the
Japanese consul general, this morning
made the following statement regard
ing the Russian disturbance:
Before | could make any definite es-
innate as to what effect the present
disturbance in Russia will have on the
war in the far east. | will have To wait
for two or three days. If the Russian
imperial government succeeds in over
powering and putting down the insur-
rection in a few days. it Will have no
effect at all.
ION the other hand, if the disturb
ance is continued and the workingTnen
of Russia desert the shipyards, arseu-
ais. powder factories and all industries
that furnish the sinews of war, then IL
will prove a great factor.
Russia is in no condition to fight
two wars at once. She is not strong
enough TO fight Japan in Manchuria
and put down revolution within her
own borders"
Laughngiy. Mr. Uchida said that he
wondered II Kuropatkin and his sol
diers would have to return To Russia
He said that if they did so that would
leave the Japanese soldiers nothing to
do.
Americans" Mr.. Uchida continued.
do not realize what this revolution
means to Europeans. especially to the
French people, who are holding large
amounts of Russian bonds. l. think "A
panic is liable to follow, and the price
OF the bonds will drop rapidly. running
large numbers of small French trades
people. who have invested their say
ings in these bonds"
Mr. Uchida also said, in replying to
more questions:
Japan seems to be wanting for no
lack of allies. We have been offered
aid by the United States. Great Brit
ain and other countries. unasked, to
bring about peace negotiations. but
here in Russia we suddenly find that
We also have allies who have come for
ward without compensation"
