THROAT TICKLED WITH A RAZZER
While Teeth We're J0Stied Somewhat
As Well.

Allen Lampkin, black sheep of
usual Iamblihe proclivities, looked like
ne had butted into slaughter house
when the police found him yesterday.
Another ram of sable hue had collided
head on with Lampkin, butting out a
handful of teeth and at the same time
cutting his initials with a razor upon
Lampkin's classic brow The raz-
sorial carving was handsomely execut-
ed, rejecting the handiwork of the
true artist. Lampkin is in the round
house for repairs while the other coon
is sprinting in front of the cops.

T0SSES GOLD INTO RIVER.
St. Louis Capitalist Throws $1,000

ST. Louis Capitalist Throws $1,000
Away to Keep From Drowning.
Somewhere in the bottom of the Mo
jave river in California lie two sacks
containing $500 in gold each. George
H Durham, a ST. Louis capitalist
tossed the money into the river to save
himself from drowning.
Durham had been on the desert with
Paul Biddle, a mining promoter, to
look at a group of claims. Samples Of
ore from the group had SO pleased him
that he promised to pay Biddle $1,000
in gold for an interest in the claims
if they proved satisfactory after he
had made a personal inspection Of
them.
Durham had the money in sacks and
buckled the sacks into the inside peck
cts of heavily lined khaki coat AS
the men were fording the Mojave river
their wagon was overturned, and Dun
ham was swept downstream.
While struggling against the current
the weight of the gold handicapped
him, and after a desperate effort to
reach shore with it he finally released
the treasure.
Biddle and the team easily gained
shore. He was much disturbed over
the loss of the money, and he and
Durham spent half a day dragging the
river bottom, but without result. 1t is
Biddle's belief that the money will
never be recovered, for the sands, he
says, will completely bury it.

they CAN'T AGREE
Merger of Central and Capital
Bank Falls Through.
]. R, BurrOW Will Likely Be
President Of Central.

The merger of the Capital and Gen.
trail National banks has been aban-
doned as it appears that the directors
of the two institutions were unable to
agree upon the terms of the consolida'
ton. The officers of the institutions
refuse to discuss their differences fur
Their than to say that they were or
such a nature there is no likelihood
that they can be overcome. This peing
the case the banks will continue as
they have in the past, though the ran
ure to consolidate will not be liable to
affect changes which have been con-
templated for some time, one of them
being the resignation of r. I. Bone
brake as president and the election or
J. r. Burrow as his successor.
There is nothing to say at this
time about the matter" said Mr.. OFT,
cashier of the Central National bank,
this morning, "other than that the deal
has fallen through owing to the in
ability of the officers OF the two lnstltu>
tions to get together.
will this affect the proposed
changes in the bank? ?" was asked.
Il am unable to say about that at
this time" replied Mr.. OFT. Ihat
matter will not come up Tor consIae "a
ton until at a meeting to be held the
first of the year and until then we VIII
know nothing of the action or the
board one way or the other.
When asked about the failure or tne
banks to agree on consolidation,
President Edwin Knowles of the Capt.
tai bank said: 1.-THE directors OF the
two banks were unable to agree upon
vital points and for that reason the
consolida ton was abandoned ana we
will conduct this bank in the future
lust as we have in the past"
P. 1. Bonebrake of the Central Ma
+fonaI hank said: 1.-THE two banks
simply can't get together on the terms
of the merger and it does not TOOK at
tbis time like there would be any mer-
ger. Some of the terms proposed by
our bank were not acceptable to the
Capital National and some of the terms
they proposed were not acceptaple 10
rs Just like two men making at
trade. Neither institution is willing tot
alter it's proposition, therefore it looks
as though there would be no merger.

CLAIM IT'S A TRUST.
Trades Council to Take Action About
Commission Men.

The Topeka Trades Council will hold
a meeting this evening, and it is said
will take action against the alleged
commission house combine" which 1t is
claimed exists in Topeka. The Trades
Council is planning to have apples snip
ned in to the members from Arkansas
at the rate of $3.50 a barrel, which Is
about half of the ruling price in this
market The labor union people think
that the commission men have force1
UP the price of apples to a fictitious ng-
ure. ,,
Secretary Curry Of the Trades Council
said today: II have no statement TO
make concerning what the Trades
Council will do Personally know that
the commission men of Topeka are in
combine, and the grocers of the town
know the same"
s. E. Lux of the Lux Commission
company, said this morning: There Is
no combine of commission men here,
and nobody is getting rich selling ap-
pies These apples from Arkansas are
Just about what should be used Tor
making cider. We won't handle that
kind as box apples. I had chance to
buy some from a man this morning
and refused. 1 told him to sell them to
Kuehne or Wolff for mince meat. l
have been making about so. cents bar
rel profit on apples. and am trying to

good ones I am paying IS barrel for

COTTON GROWERS MEET
International Conference Assemblies in
Atlanta, Georgia.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. Men who grow
cotton and men who put it into clothes
and goods for the markets of the world
met in the state capitol today in the
international conference of cotton
growers and manufacturers. During
the three days sessions of the confer
ence questions of the utmost impor-
lance to growers and consumers will be
discussed and action is looked for that
will radically change for the better the
methods of handling and growing the
great staple Of the south.
Fully five hundred delegates were
present when President James r. Mac
Coll of Providence, R. L. called tho
meeting to order, former President
Arthur Kuffler of Vienna, Austria, and
delegates from Great Britain. Ger
many, Belgium, France and Spain be-
ing in the audience.
President MacColl in his opening ad-
dress said:
"One important object which those of
US who are Americans, whether growers
or spinners have in view, is to demon
strate to our European friends who con-
sumo two-thirds of the crop the Won
derful resources yet undeveloped in the
southern states for the production of
raw material. We want them to see
for themselves that America will grow
all the cotton that the world needs;- on
the other hand it is desirable for the
growers by personal contact. with the
spinners to realize that if they are to
maintain their supremacy there must be
a forward movement in that direction
for removal Of so-called abuses that
now exist in the growing, handling and
marketing of their product. The plant
er, If he wants to sell direct to the spin
ners, must III some way do the work OF
middle men and have the same financial
responsibility; he must grade, carry ano
finance the cotton as the merchant now
does.
"All admit that the time has now come
for definite suggestion and prompt ac-
| ton To effect needed reforms. To thai
! end we should discuss gin COMPRISING
which would effect an enormous saving

WIND FROM THE NORTH.
Sudden Change of the Weather at 5
O'Clock This Morning.

Topeka finds herself today in the
throes of weather which tinges highly
of the wintry variety. While most of
Topeka's population were peacefully
slumbering at the early hour of five
O'Clock this morning. the gentle warm
wind which had been blowing at the
rate of ten miles from the southwest
changed to the north accelerated to
triple its former velocity, and has
caused the inhabitants to garb them
selves in their winter apparel. The
change was quite general throughout
the entire state but will not be of long
duration The forecast for Kansas
calls for a general clearing up all over
the state with a warmer variety of
weather tomorrow. The thermometer
will drop to about forty degrees to-
night but will hardly go low enough
for frost.
The wind today has maintained a
velocity of about twenty miles an hour
and has been from the north.

woman sent a message informing her
parents that she had secretly married
the man she loved, and that when the
message reached Spring Lake they
would be on the water. Instantly the
search for the young woman, who is
said to be one of the richest heiresses

MURDER CASE IS ON.
Trial of Harry johnson for Killing
Dennis DumfOrd

When the case of the state against
Harry Johnson, charged with murder.
was called at 10 o'clock today, Galen
Nichols, attorney for the defendant,
opened the performance by exhaust.
ing his peremptory challenges on the
jury. The result left the venire in
such a condition that a special venire
of twenty was hastily drawn and the
sheriff sent out to collect the same.
Four of the new jurymen required on
the jury were sworn in this afternoon
to hear the case against Johnson. The

other eight, the remnant of the old
venire. are A. w. Garwood, A. Bal
man, r. z. Emerson, H. w. Brobst,
Trentz, 8. W. Lyman.
The prosecution began taking evil
dence in the murder case at O'Clock
this afternoon, before the above
named jury.
On the night of February %, of
this year, Dennis Dumford, a local
character noted as a disturbing ele-
ment and fighter, was shot in May
near the Santa Fe track. 1t was at
first reported that May Burns, keeper
of the house. which bore a bad repu-
tation, had killed Dumford. She con-
fessed to the police that she had shot
the man. saying it was in self defense.
1t was learned later that Harry john
son. her lover, had fired the shot from
which Dumford died half an hour Ia
ter and that the woman had CONFESS
ed to shield him. Johnson had been
arrested on suspicion before the truth
was learned. Johnson contends that
the shooting was done in self defense
and that Dumford had come to the
! house. armed with a knife, swearing
| that he would XIII tne Burns -"ohidh

Self defense will be the defense in
the case. Dumford bore worse repu-

who killed him, and the record OF
