LOst-.-A Milk Bottle.

The fearfully and wonderfully
managed presentation of 1.-The
Midnight Flyer" at Garrett's opera
house last Saturday evening threw
some weak minded person in the
audience into fit of mental aber-
ration, during which he surrep-
tiously extracted from the coat
pocket of Usher ]. F. Dulin a
baby's milk bottle, presumably in
the hope that it's contents might
deaden the baneful influence of the
play. Mr.. Dulin at first accused
he writer of committing the heinov s
crime while escaping from the play
house after the second act, but the
fact that we have absolutely no use
for an article of that kind, and the
fur ther fact that we never indulge
in anything stronger than water,
should absolve us from cruel and
unjust suspicion. Our wife, who
marvelously survived four of the tive
acts, rudely awakened us out of q
sound and blissful sleep and COM
PEELED us to don our garments anc
demonstrate our innocence to Mr..
Dulin. The bottle has not ye'
materialized, and the owner says
that its return to the Idaho Com
mercial company's store will be re-
warded by gift of five yards o
baby ribbon-any color.

Louis Gould and Volney Baldwin,
aged respectively twelve and eleven
years, left their homes in this city
Tuesday noon without making their
destination known and without
anything except the. clothes on their
backs and about SIS in cash, sup
posed to be in the possession of
the Baldwin boy. The authorities
in a number of towns along the
Short line have been notified and
they will undoubtedly be appre-
hended ere long, as their extreme
youth will make it difficult for
them to get along after their
limited capital is exhausted. Our
exchanges will please copy and
any information as to their where
ahouts will be gratefully received
by their parents here.

also stated that he would shortly
take Mrs. Hayward into that Sec
tion for months stay and if at
the end of that time they were 10th
as favorably inclined to that part OF
the contry as he was at the present
time, it was very likely that they
would pull up stakes and emigrate.

fit to take unto themselves perma-
nent sweethearts and bring them
home about the same time, Local

Number nine hundred sixty-six
decided that a double reception was
about the proper thing, and their

last evening the scene of merry
gathering of members and invited
friends.
About half past nine the signal
was given and while the assemblage
sang the welcome ode of the or
der, the guests OF honor, properly
escorted, marched down the hall
and stopped before Acting Worthy

we'll chosen words praised the

al Injunction, complimented them
upon their choice of partners, and
on behalf of the order presented each
of them with handsome rocking
chair-an appropriate and accept
able gift.
A vocal and instrumental program
was then opened by Harry Watkins
who told several good stories in his

pounded the tenets and good points
of the order.

BLOWS OFF HIS HEAD
Manager of Bank Finds a Way Out
5-,r- .-ssit OF. His Troubles.

San Francisco, Dec. 11-Bloody
tragedy has developed from the crash
of the ACa!iforrlia1 Safe Deposit and
Trust company. T. Otway Sadlier,
the defunct Institution at 1881 Devisa-
dero street. blew out his brains last
night, while locked in his office. No
explanation has yet been made of
was heavily involved personally in the
failure. Ever since it was known that
the bank could not survive he has
been greatly depressed
Sadlier's method of suicide was
most gruesome. = He made his prepa-
rations for death deliberately and
used a sawed off Shot gun, which was
kept in the bank for protection
against robbers, Both barrels of this
weapon, loaded with buckshot, were
discharged and the whole top of the
suicides skull was blown aawy. Spe-
cial Policeman Pierce, according to
his custom, made a thorough exami-
nation of the premises, but few min
utes before o'clock. Looking
through a window he saw the body
of the manager sprawred on the floor
in a pool of blood and brains. The
victim was so badly mangled that he
could scarcely be identified even from
the lower part of the face. The body
was taken to the morgue.
Sadlier was a single man, aged so
years. He was one of J. DalZell
Browns most confidential employees
and had full executive authority at the
West End branch of which he was
de manager sometime ago. When
Brown was arrested Sadlier was pres
ent and tried vainly to prevent the po-
lice from taking his superior to pris-
on. So far in the investigation of the
depositors association, nothing i'm
proper has been discovered in Sad
lfer's direction of the banks affairs in
the western addition and no charges
have been made against him.

in the city prison. was informed that

DRUGGISTS no DECIDE.
Will Meet Thursday to Settle Sunday
Closing Question.

F. A. Snow, one of the leading drug
gists of Topeka and the last president
of the Topeka Retail Druggists asso-
citation, today issued a call for the re-
tail druggists to meet Thursday after
noon at 2:30 at George Stansfield's drug
store, for the purpose of taking some
action on the Sunday closing pro-
gramme inaugurated by Mayor William
Green.
In speaking of the call Mr.. Snow said !:
II decided to ask the druggists to meet
for the purpose of seing If We, as a
body of business men, could not get to-
gether and form some concerted plan
for opening two or three hours a day on
the sabbath. For my part I think it
would be nothing but what is due the
public that the drug stores of Topeka
open an hour on Sunday morning, an
hour in the afternoon and an hour in
the evening. We owe that much to the
public. At any rate favor that plan
and l think the people are entitled to
the privilege of getting their medicines
at practically any hour of the day or
night T-f
A number of other druggists were
seen and asked about their plans for
Sunday closing. Some of them, who
refused to allow their names to be
printed, said that they regarded the
closing ordinance as blue law and
that they were going to shut up shop
on Saturday night and keep it tight as
a wad in a rifle till Monday morning.
IL the DRUGGISTS WOuiQ 90 tnat Tor a
few Sundays" said one of them, the
people would soon have enough of the
mayors blue laws and that ordinance
which belongs back In the dark ages,
or at least to the days when the peo-
pie of Salem, Mass, burned witches
at the stake, would be torn root and
branch from the statutes of the city,
SANITY, thou are jewel, but many
'foohshnesses' are practiced in thy
name" said another druggist who said
he thought of moving his business to
Timbuctoo or some other place, where
the people are enlightened" In the
meantime there are more than dozen
druggists who favor Mr.. Shows plans
of keeping open to sell things not I'M
der the Sunday ban several hours each
Sunday.
From expressions heard today it looks
like the people of the city will be able
to buy necessities in the drug line,
whether there is concerted action In OPP
ening on Sunday or not. Tomorrow's
meeting promises to be a lively one.
