SO CENTS PER week
LOTS SELL WITH RUSH.

Yesterdays Journal announced for
the first time the remarkable offer of
Groves and Laynan to sell high, de-
sirable, standard sized lots in MelFose
Subdivision at fifty cents a week with
out interest, taxes or extras of any
kind The rush of buyers began as
soon as the papers reached the public
and during the evening the firm office
was crowded. Twenty-Five lots were
sold before nine o'clock. This morn
ing a large force of statesmen has been
kept busy on the property, and the
rush has hardly commenced. Never
before in the history of Topeka has
there been so liberal an offer of really
high class lots. The tract lies be-
tween Sixth and Tenth avenues and
only one block west Of Morris avenue,
and is directly in line of the best
growth of the city which is already
built soIidly on three sides of Melrose
with handsome homes. Sixth avenue
is macadamized past it and brick side
walks, electric lights, sewerage and
all city conveniences surround it. The
remarkable liberaIity of the plan rem
ders it possible for people of small
incomes to get the start Of home in
a first class neighborhood on payments
so small as not to be missed Then
too the fact that no interest whatever
is charged, and that there are no
taxes to pay until after the lot is fully
paid for, are powerful inducements.
The prices are very .reasOnab bic, rang
ing from $50 to $195. Melrose lies on
a beautiful elevation overlooking the
city and every lot is perfectly drained
Every lot is for sale at plainly marked
prices. The buyers are all of de-
sirable thrifty class. In order to ac-
commodate people employed during
the week a double force of statesmen
will be on the property all day tomor-
row Sunday, and if the weather IS
pleasant the local real estate record is
apt to be broken for all time. The
terms on all the lots are the same,
one dollar down. then fifty cents week
" thereafter. To reach Melrose Sub
division take Asylum car to corner CT
Willow and ElmWood streets and walk
west one block. Or take the Lowman
Hill car to Brooks avenue and walk
one block north and you are at Mel
rose Subdivision.

FAMILY QUARREL IS AIRED.
Trouble Over Davis Estate Gets Into
Supreme Court.

J. B. Davis, son OF A. ]. Davis, who
died in Nebraska City. March 4. 1904.
won suit in Jewell county for the
possession of a Jewell county farm
which his father had decided to NJ. B.
Davis. NJ. B. Davis is a brother of
A. ]. Davis and uncle of J. B. Davis;
but to make the plot thick and inter-
esting, Uncle NJ. B. Davis is younger
than Nephew J. B. Davis.
J. B. Davis, the son, claims that his
father was crazy, and that M. B. Da-
Wis gave A. ]. Davis $1,000 in payment
for a farm worth $4,000. J. 3. Davis
asks to have this deed set aside on
the ground that his father was not
mentally capable of making a deed.
The jury decided that J. B. Davis
contention about it is right, but it
also decided that since NJ. B. Davis
had paid A. J. Davis LII altogether
J. B. Davis should take the farm sub
jeot to lien for the s1,111. NJ. B.
Davis today appealed the case to the
supreme court.
