LOCAL MENTION.

Governor Hochlo has received as
souvenir of his trip to the national G.
A. r. encampment, a handsome badge
of silver, gold, bronze and enamel. The
badge is so big and elaborate it would
make the governor look like a foreign
potentate if he should wear it.
Attorney Strouther, of Galena, was in
Topeka today to secure the release from
the penitentiary of Orlando Stevenson.
whose parole has been recommended
by the state pardon board.

peka today. He is well known in the
politics of his locality.
Governor Hoch today ordered the
forfeiture of the parole of Lee Bow
man, a penitentiary convict who was
released on good behavior by Governor
Bailey. Bowman was sent up for ten
years for burglary, but was paroled in
1905. He has frequently violated his
parole, and is now under arrest in wy
andotte for larceny from the person.
He will be taken back to Lansing to
serve out his sentence, which expires in
1906. 80

VERY NEARLY a SAINT.
Judge Dana Declares That Mrs. Heit-
man Must Be.

Judge Dana handed down de-
cision in the divorce case of Hoffman
VS.. Hoffman late Wednesday after
noon, in which he gave the custody of
the three minor children to Mrs.
Hoffman as we'll as the bulk of the
property. By the decision of the court
the hotel property on First street and
five small houses located near there
and all of the furniture and fixtures of
the hotel as well as Al II acres of land
east of the shops and three lots in
North Topeka become the property of
Mrs Hoffman. Hoffman was given the
home place on First street, the butch
er shop and an account of 5000 which
he has in one of the banks
In making his rulings as to the dis
position of the property Judge Dana
took occasion to score the defendant
in manner which shows that he IS

which are filed in the district court

INNER SEAL CADETS ARE HERE.
National Biscuit Company Soldiers
Descend on Topeka.

The Inner Seal Cadets You proba-
bly, have never heard of them before.
But you will make their acquaintance
before long. There are just u of them,
they have been sent out by the Ma
tional Biscuit company, to make
house to house canvass of the resi-
denees in the city in the interests of
their company. These cadets don't
come in cartons, though you would
think so from the name. They come in
grey road suits with purple ties, each
cadet dressed exactly like his comrade.
They are under discipline too, military,
just like other cadets. They are not
allowed to smoke, drink or chew or in
dulge in other vices-while on duty.
The cadets in charge of Mr.. Graves of
the National Biscuit company have ar
rived in Topeka and are stopping at the
Throop hotel. These cadets are not
boys, but young men, college bred.
They are not allowed to loaf about in
the corridors of the hotel and they are
not permitted to leave the hotel with
out permission. Each day they go out
on their house to house campaign of
instruction with packages of the prod
ucts of the National Biscuit company
and acquaint the housewives with the
National Biscuit company's cookery.
On Saturday they give demonstrations
in the grocery stores in the city. They
also build very attractive displays in
the grocery stores illustrating the vari-
Gus form of architecture, utilizing car
tons in their celver work The cadets
will be in Topeka for about month
and from here will visit other towns
in the state, visiting every principal
city in the United States. The COM
pany has set aside $2,000,00 to cover
the expense involved in forming a COM
pany of cadets and sending them about
in this manner. Primarily it is a sys-
tenn of training some likely looking ma
terial into successful statesmen for the
company. A. Seguin of 1918 Polk street
is the local representative and will
make his home in Topeka.

HOCH he DID IT..
For Second Time Helps Examine
State Treasury.
Discrepancy in Bookkeeping
Delays Work.

Governor Hoch left town today to be
gone the rest of the week Before leav-
ing he participated in the second ex-
animation of the state treasury since
he became governor. 1t was the last
chance the governor would have had to
make the examination this month, as
he will not return to Topeka until Oc-
tober 2.
The examination was not completed
this morning. because the examiners
ran uD against a discrepancy in the
books in the treasurer's office. The
books of the assistant and the chief
clerk did not agree exactly on the
amount Of the balance. Consequently
the board adjourned to give the treas
urer time to find out the location of
the mistake. The board will complete
its work when the mistake is found,
and John Smith, the governors execu-
tive clerk, will represent Governor 1och
in the subsequent sessions.
1t seems likely that Governor Hoch
would have forgotten all about the ex-
animation if he had not been reminded
of it by one of the other members of
the board. State Auditor Seth Wells
has several times of late declared that
he would go ahead and make the treas
ury examination alone unless Governor
Hoch showed an inclination to carry
out the law. When Governor Hoch
learned that Sdr. Wells was planning to
go ahead and make the examination,
he summoned Secretary of State Bur
row. and the board went to the state
treasurer's office at II o'clock.
The examination revealed the fact
that the state treasurer has commenced
to place the state money in the deposit
tory banks under the new law 1t also
showed that there is still in the state
treasury So, 064. II in uncancelled war
rants These warrants were all counted
and the cash on hand also counted. 1t
amounted to $2,692.49. The cash items
were 81, 363.82. and the cash in the fiscal
agency was $29, 276.49.
The balance in the general revenue
fund was shown to be $76S 203.12, but
this includes the $40, 900 of the general
revenue fund which is tied up in the
First National. The real amount of the
general revenue fund is therefore about
$343, 600 and there is an item of $8T,OOO
in uncancelled warrants standing
against this fund, and other funds. The
real amount of cash for the payment
of bills will therefore be about enough
to carry the state through the month
of September ard part of October with
out the mot paid stamp
State Auditor Wells says that the dis
crepaney in the books in the treasurer's
office, which caused the board of treas
ury examiners to leave their work in
complete. is not a matter of signlh-
cance as it is merely due to clerical
mistake somewhere. The two clerks in
the office for some reason failed to get
the same amount for the balance on
hand

CHECK JAP ADVANCE
RUSSIANS ALSO slEzE TWO Po-

Mukden, March 1.-The Russians
have seized the head of the bridge
across the Shakhe river In the center
Of the Japanese lines, assisted by ar.
tillery firing of particular energy from
Putiloff hill and Novogorod hill.
The seizure of the railway bridge
across the shakhe river was the occa-
sion Of sharp combat. The Russians
succeeded In surprising the Japanese
bridge guards and, reinforced, beat or
Ill attempts Of the japanese to regain
possession Of It. The Japanese are

bardment Of Putilof hill and Novogo-
rod hill and this II believed to be pre-
liminary to IN attempt to storm them.
The losses to the defending forces
are insignincant.
