BECAUSE ROOSEVELT SAID so.
Why Kansas Thanksgiving Is on SOth
Instead of 23rd.

A large number of letters are being
received by Governor Hoch asking
why it is that in his proclamation he
sets Thanksgiving day for Nov. 80,
when some of the almanacs assert that
it is due to take place on Nov. %. In
response to these questions, the gov
ernor is replying that he set Thanks
giving day for Nov. 80 because Presi-
dent Roosevelt did.
Usually Thanksgiving day is the
fourth Thursday in Novemb Der. But
once in great while, when November
has five Thursdays, Thanksgiving is
the fifth Thursday. The rule for fix
ing Thanksgiving day is the last
Thursday in November, regardless of
whether it is the fourth or nth. This
is a fact which some Of the almanac
makers seem to have overlooked.

PROTECT THE CITY.
Charles EIdridge Wants Ordinance 70
Check Gas Explosions.

An ordinance regulating the laying OF
pipes for natural gas in the city has
been formulated by Chas- Eldrldge,
manager of the Kansas Fire Insurance
Inspection office and it is being mailed
to the city council and city officials OF
towns in the Kansas gas belt
The ordinance based on similar or
dinances in force and effect in the east
where natural gas is used.
The proposed ordinance contains some
very attractive features looking to the
regulation of the laying OF mains and
house connections and provides Tor a
pressure test
At present the Continental Oil and Gas
company franchise under which the gas
company is now opera ting has no pro-
visions of this character, which pro-
vide safety guards for the consumers
of natural gas.
Il think it highly important that To-
peka have something of this sort in or
der to protect the lives of our people,
said Eldridge 1.-THE city of Rlttspurg,
Pa, has an ordinance something on this
line and other cities throughout the east
where natural gas is used.
4 expect to present the matter to TIE
city council and also to the mayor ana
see if it cannot be taken up for passage
/ called on Mr.. Deilmann of the gas com
pany but he did not favor the idea He
said, Why, We have over 5000 connee-
tiOnS in the city and 1t would take all
kinds of work and trouble to comply
with the provisions of an ordinance OF
this kind
Il believe that large number OF these
installations in Topeka are from 70 II
years old and certainly are IN such
shape that they should be tested BEFORE
the natural gas is turned on. We don {
want to have cases of asphyxiatlon ana
explosions as have already occurred IN
southern Kansas"

HAYDEN IS PUZZLED.
Doesn't Know What Is Included in
Drug Stocks.

Leroy Williams, who was cited to
appear before the probate court last
week and show that his druggists per-
NIT should not be taken away on the
showing made by the board appointed
to place a value on his stock of drugs,
had final hearing Monday afternoon.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by Judge Hayden and the de-
cis1on Will not be handed down until
a thorough investigation is made as
there are number of complicated
points involved. For instance the law
when governs the granting of drug
gists' permits specifies that the stock
OF drugs must be worth $1,000 or
more In this particular instance a
committee consisting of w S. Miller
j. M. Brunt and Martin O'Donnell re-
ported that the Williams stock of
drugs invoiced but a little more than
5000, but this amount did not include
the cigar stock which is valued at
ABOUT the same amount. The question
which is now confronting the court is:
what IS stock of drugs? If the
cigars are not to be considered, where
is the matter to stop. On the same
reasoning the stock of paint must not
pc lnVolced' nor the soap, combs,
brushes and the thousand and one 9TH
er arucIes which the purchaser ex-
poets to find at a drug store. Then on
the other hand if drugs and the stock
usually carried at drug store are to
De lnPolced and carried as a drug
stock, what is to prevent a druggist
from securing a permit as far as the
value of his stock is concerned.
He might call his store a drug store
when the stock would be a nisceIlane-
Gus one and have no drugs on the
shelves at all save a bottle of quinine
| tinctures- The drug end of the stock
might be valued at $50 and the re-
mainder of the $1,000 required be
made up of baled hay or chop.
This is only one of the questions
that is puzzling the court as there are
a number of other points involved in
this case. From the questioning of the
assistant attorney general who is re-
sponsible for the action it is very
clear that he thinks that the store is
owned by other parties. He tried very
| hard to bring out the fact that the
store is owned by several of the well
known jointists of the city who are re-
sponsible for most of the joint drug
stores.
The Williams drug store is the one
located in the Nick Chiles building on
East Seventh street and is patronized
nearly exclusively by the colored popu-
/ lation of the city. While the matter
has been taken under advisement by
the probate judge there is little doubt
as TO what the decision will be as sew
Z eral charges against the place were
substantiated.

claims to have been instrumental in

twenty-eight states of the union which
he has traversed-
Though claiming to have received no

He claims that his gift in this line
was a God-given one and that it came
suddenly to him while but five years
of age in looking at the pictures of
Rev. Dewitt Talmage's book, From
Manager to Throne" To the great as
constituent of his father he COM
menced to read what previous to then
had been to him unknown characters.
BY tracing the writing of others he
managed to acquire his knowledge of
writing. But mathematics he asserts
is a stumbling block which he can not
overcome. He can count from / to

OWNERS SHOULD PAY.
For Kansas Avenue Pavement, Says
JOab MuIyane.

ct believe that Kansas avenue should
be paved with brick and that the
property owners on Kansas avenue
should pay for the improvement" said
Joab Mulvane today Mr.. Mulvane is
one of the principal owners of the big
brick kilns west of town.
st believe" said he, that if these
property owners would get right down
and figure it out with a pencil they
would ind that it is great deal
cheaper for them in the end to stand
for the cost of repaving Kansas ave-
nue. than to have it paid for out of the
general improvement fund.
by doing the latter they set a pre-
cedent which must be followed in
other cases of repaying and since the
Kansas avenue property pays the
greater proportion of the general in-
provement tax they win pay the great
er proportion of the cost OF repaVing
some of these other streets. It is go
ing to cost them more in the long
run to set a precedent of that kind
than if they get right down and sim
ply pay for the repaving of Kansas
avenue out of their own pockets
There can't help but seem to be a
feeling of equity in such an act. It
does not seem right to tax some of
these small property owners over the
city who have no paved streets, who
can't afford to have them for years to
come, to tax them to repave Kansas
avenue. They are paying q tax to SUD-
port the waterworks and they have no
extensions and now to force them to
pay for repaving Kansas avenue when
they themselves have no pavement
does not seem right. In addition it's
the trade which we give these mere
chants which gives an added value to
Feir property on Kansas avenue. I
nave signed a petition to repave Kan
SaS avenue"

Ignorance of the Law May Make
Trouble for Jack London.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-Because of his
ignot ance OF q new law governing the
marriage OF divorced persons in the
state OF Illinois, Jack London, the au-
thor, his paced himself IN a some
what embarrassing position ana II may
Dr necessary AOr illIn 70 remafry MISS
Charmion kituredge to whom he was
welded yesterday.
The last legislature of Illinois passed
law forblduing the marriage OF d.
Vorced peOple IN this state under one
year after the divorce had been in full
effect.
The same law is in effect in Cali
fOrnia, in which state Mr.. London was
divorced from his first wife. The in
itial decree in this case was issued
November IS, 1905. Mr.. London, as
Stunning that the year commenced from
the issue of the preliminary decree,
considered himself free to marry as
soon as one year had elapsed. It is de-
clared by lawyers in this city, how
ever. that divorce is not effective until
the final decree is granted and that the
one year probation must elapse after
that time.
When the situation was brought
home to the author today he said:
Il win get married in every state
in the union just as fast as can get
from one to another If it is necessary.
that a divorced person may not marry
within year and to encompass this
end the court grants divorce and one
year later a decree and il was the de-
cree which was granted last Saturday.
AS to whether this divorce is amen
able to the laws of Illinois is some
thing I do not know, but it seems that
until last July and it can not affect
my case"
