GAS IN THE CITY JAIL.
New Plan of Heating VIII Be Tried on
Police and Prisoners.

The stoves in the city jail are being
piped with gas much to the relief Of
the jail authorities who have formerly
had to struggle along with stoves,
tended BY the TRUSTEES.
This will the first winter that the
naughty people and their keepers have
been able to keep warm. In the pre-
vious winters the work of tending the
stoves has been given to a trusty. The
man was seldom an individual with an
over developed sense OF duty. Some
times after the authorities around the
Jail and the people shut up in their
cells had begun to feel like Polar
bears, the trusty would appear with
the kindling, start the blaze and then
depart innocent of the first thought Of
bringing the coal. Now with the in
stallation of the southern Kansas pro-
duct, it is hoped that the city jail can
be kept at Il comfortable temperature.
The gas is being piped into all the
stoves in the offices and to those IN the
upper rooms where dwell the breakers
of the law. At best the city's strong
hold Is not a place which would tend
to produce beautiful thoughts for a
better life on the part Of its inmates
and to half freeze the poor creatures
together with the objectionable feat
ures of their surroundings would make
an angel mean.
Whether there will be any marked

LIVED IN Topeka.
Father Of Captain Salberg Of
Colorado Football Team
Built the First d. E. Church
Here.
HAS MANY RELATIVES.
Belonged to the Swedish Colony
in Topeka.
Adds Interest to Meeting With
Washburn.

A peculiar interest on the part Of To-
peka people attaches itself to the ap-
pearance of the Colorado football team
in this city week from Saturday and
cenrers especially in the appearance OF.
John Salberg, the popular captain OF
the Colorado team.
About twenty-five or thirty years ago
when Topeka was but small town
Salberg's father was stone mason in
Topeka and had the contract for the
building Of the Methodist church. A
large number OF the old time residents
of the city remember him as he was
one OF the most prominent of Topeka's
citizens at that time. 4 short time af-
ter the completion of the Methodist
church he moved to Boulder, Colo, then
a small town. Here he was ma Stied to
Topeka girl and their home has been
at Boulder ever since. They are of
Swedish parentage and have many rela-
tives in Topeka at the present time,
among the Swedish people Of the city.
Captain John Salberg is a native of
Colorado and was born at Boulder,
where his whole life has been spent.
He IS one of a large family which has
necessitated his living a simple and
strenuous life. He has been accustom-
ed to hard work and like all Swedish
people he likes to work early and late.
He has been taught from boyhood to
scorn rain, heat, cold and even hun
ger. His habits have always been ex-
enplary having INDUCED IN nothing
but the plain and wholesome Swedish
food and indulging in luxurious living
not in the least. Young Salberg is now
at the prime of his life and is in the
finest physical condition for the exact
ing duties which fall to his lot as cap
tain Of the mountafneers
Salberg IS popular in Boulder and his
exemplary habits have attracted the at
tention Of many prominent business men
and bankers. who have watched him
grow from boyhOod. He has been offered
many positions of honor and trust. but
has refused them all. preferring to en-
gage in the more rugged outdoor work,
which develops bone and muscle. For
two summers he has found employment
on an ice wagon, loading and unloading
many tons daily. A familiar scene on the
streets of Boulder Is to. see Salberg MAX
ing ice deliveries of from one hundred to
two hundred pounds on a bicycle. He is
an expert wheelman and has engaged in
many long distance rides.
Captain Salberg lives with his parents
on a beautiful fruit farm in the suburbs
of Boulder. where they have an elegant
home modern in all respects. His home
is the center Of many. of the social events
of the university where he is q social
favorite. He comes from a musical fam

THE POOR GIRL DIDN'T KNOW
Ellie Fay Thought st. Joe in Another
Country.

'tElfie Fay and Maid Is the name
found on one. line of the register at
the National hotel today.
EIfte Fay is the girl who appears in
the part Of ''the chorus girl" in The
Land of Nod tonight at the New
Grand opera house, and she is truly a
remarkable person. She is said to be
getting salary ten times larger than
that paid the girl who played the part
when the piece was first presented here
last year. And it is all on account of
a legal controversy which is being
waged over her.
For four years prior to last season
Ellie Fay was playing in Europe. Last
season she made contract with Al
H. Woods, it is said covering a period
of i've years, during which time she
was to be starred in America Miss
Fay claims that she was to play only
first-class houses and she was appear
ing in The Belle OF Avenue A.
During the latter part of the season
she was booked in several second-rate
houses. She protested and Jumped
her contract" She was then engaged By
William J. Block to star in the opera
Coming Thro the Rye" and she be-
gan a tour in that piece. Woods brought
suit to have her en3oined from playing
in the piece and the Injunction was
granted, The injunction did not apply
to any other attraction and Ar Block

TRUST AND BETRAYED.
These Are Features In the CebaIIos &
Co. Failure.

New York. oct. 12.=For the first
time since the announcement of fail
ure, Juan NJ. Ceballos, senior member
of the firm of J. NJ. Ceballos & Co..
broke his silence regarding Silveira
and the failure. OF Silveira, he said
'AlI he was in the world I made
him. I trusted him and he betrayed
my confidence"
MI Ceballos denied the stories cir
culated that his firm had bought war
rants for claims in the last Cuban war.
for from six to 10 cents on the dollar.
He said that all he had purchased
from Silveira he had paid 80. IS and IS
cents on the dollar for.
Mr.. Ceballos gave as his opinion
that Silveira. was in Venezuela or on
his way to that country.
The first intimation of the trouble
which led TO an investigation and the
consequent assignment of J. NJ. Cebal-
los & Co, came through q letter which
Silveira wrote to his friends IN the
Cuban capital, according to informa-
ton given out here today. 1t is said
Silveira left the letter with friends Of
his in Havana. saying frankly that he
did not intend to come to New York.
This letter WAS not made public until
October Z, five DAYS after Silveira and
his family had sailed from Havana on
the steamer Carmelina.

Trisky and troublesome ones or whether
the rumored tightening OF the lid is hav-

other time visited at the Cliff home
