FOR HIS own GOOD.
Victor HIurdock Explains Why He
Raped Senator Long.

Victor Murdock, congressman from the
old Eighth district. is in Topeka today.
He says he came to attend the rate hear
ing before the state board of railroad
commissioners.
will Senator Long get right?' was
asked of him.
"Sure he will" replied Murdoch.
you raped him pretty hard down
there at Wichita" was suggested.
Il had to for his own good' said Mr..
Murdock.
Speaking of political candidates Bfr.
Murdock said:
"There is sort Of a boss buster move
ment all over the country. 1t is growing
up among the farmers, and is due, in
my opinion, to the rural routes and the
delivery of daily papers to farmers.
Farmers think for themselves. They
don't ask the politicians to think for
them. If they find out that the boss of
some gang has been doing wrong, they
simply take a crack at Mr.. Boss, and
show him that he isn't the whole thing. p"

Ultimatum Concerning Mace
dOnia Is Turned Down.
REPLIES WITH THREAT
Holds Up Prospect of an Upris-
ing of MUsselmans.
Indications of Secret Backing BIZ
German Emperor.

Constantinople, Nov. 23.-The sui
tan today issued an trade approving
the decision of the council of min
listers to reject the demands OF the
powers for international control Of the
finances of Macedonia. Whether the
rejection is absolute or conditional
has not been definitely ascertained.
Vice Admiral Husni Pasha has
started on a special steamer for the
Dardanelles, presumably with instruc-
tions for the commander Of the forts
regarding the commanders conduct
in the event of the appearance Of the
international fleet. Similar intructions
have been sent to the governors OF the
Turkish islands in the archipelago.
Reply Is a Threat.
Paris. Nov. 23.-Turkey's note in
reply to the ultimatum or the powers
contains a warning that the action of
the powers in resorting to naval
demonstration may precipitate an in
ternal uprising Of Mussulmans against
the Christian population of Turkey.
This is considered to be q threat as It
is known that no demonstration Of
Mussulmans against Christians can oc-
cur unless it has the silent acqufescence
of the Turkish authorities.
The answer of the porte as a whole
is entirely unsatisfactory since it does
not respond to the demand for the ex-
tension of the authorities of the
financial agents of the powers for two
years and is evasive upon the question
of the general control by the powers
of the financial affairs of Macedonia
All the ministers except the minister
of war favored yielding to the ulti-
matum, but the palace influences led
the sultan to overrule the favorabl
attitude of the porte. These Influences
are regarded as the outgrowth of Ger
many abstaining from taking an ac-
tive part in the naval demonstration.
The Turkish reply gives a serious
turn to the negotiations.

GOT DEvLlN INSURANCE
Reported That Widow Turned Over
100000 to w. e. Thomas.

DIR. Russell Phillips and Dr. Miege
Thomas announce that w. z. Thomas
will recover without question. He was
entirely rational all night, was able to
Thomas is completely prostrated and
confined to her bed. She is not as well
today as yesterday"
The above message was received
shortly before noon today by P J.
Monaghan of the Southwestern Fuel
company relative to the condition of
W. E. Thomas Of LeavenWOrth who
night before last came near dying as a
result of taking carbolic acid. The re-
port at first stated that it was with
suicidal intent, while now it is be-
heved that the act was accidental and
that he took the acid While searching
for bromides. He has, however, been
under the continual watch of a trained
nurse and this has led Hne people to
suspect that he may have been liable
to do something rash while under his
great mental strain.
Arrangements had been made for the
entire family to leave for Hot Springs
in company with Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Hagan of Topeka. Mr.. Hagan is Mr..
Thomas attorney.
The word received today by Mr.. Mon
Afghan came from James Shire, broth
eT-in-laW of Mr.. Thomas, who has been
with the sick man ever since the
tragedy of night before last. He states
emphatfcally that the doctors declare
that Mr.. Thomas will now get well
without question.
Mrs. Thomas condition causes more
worry now I suppose" said Mr. Mon
Afghan, 'fthan that of Mr.. Thomas. She
is completely prostrated and the mes
sage says that she is not so well today.
This word came from Mr.. Shire and is
absolutely authentic"
Considerable interest Immediately
sprung up in regard to the amount of
life insurance which Mr.. ThOma~ car
ried. It is thought that he had at least
$125,00 with $50, 600 paid up. But these
figures are only estimates. When
Frank Lewis, receiver in the af-
fairs of Mr.. Thomas involuntary bank
ruptcy proceeding made a report 10
the creditors in Topeka on Tuesday at
the federal court, he said that he un-
derstood that Mrs. Devlin had turned
over $50, 900 of the insurance on her hus-
band to Mr.. Thomas.
what do you know about that?" was
asked of Mr. Lewis today.
Just what I said in the report the
other day he replied, that I under
stood So"
You have no proof?" he was asked.
Don't know ANYTHING further about
the matter" he answered shortly.
DO you know how much life insur-
ance Thomas carries ?' was asked.
THAT is a private matter with the
Thomas family" said Mr.. Lewis, "and
the receiver has nothing to do with the
matter. I know nothir~ about it."

HEAVY Rain FALLS.
Amounts to Nearly an Inch in
Topeka.

That unusual spell of fine weather
which has prevailed for the last ten
days has been broken at last and to-
day was about as disagreeable a one
as could be experienced. Clouds hung
low and threatening during the early
morning hours and around o'clock
there was a slight fall of rain. Things
cleared up a bit after this and the sun
broke through the clouds for a half
hour or so and gave promise that the
rest of the day would be clear. But
along about II o'clock a heavy rain
set in and has continued with inter-
mitting intensity. For stretches of a
few minutes at a time torrents of
water literally poured from the clouds.
nasty southeast wind accompanied
the rain. It blew with great force at
times and those who had umbrellas
had hard work in handling them. The
rainfall up to 2 o'clock amounted to
50 of an inch.
