Little Beatty Beckham. son Of the late
Alfred Beckham, died Thursday at the
home here Of his mother, Mrs. Hennie
Beckham, aged about years. The lad
was a grandson Of Mr.. Murrow Cauth-
en-. The remains were buried yester-
day morning in the West Side ceme-
terry. A very sad death also occur
red at Heath Springs this week. Har-
ry Hirshel, the little son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. B. c. Horton of that town, aged
about 2 years, died Thursday from the
effects of swallowing some carbolic
acid the day before. 1t seems that the
unfortunate little fellow climbed up on
a chair and got bottle Of the deadly
acid that was in side board. Inc
mother discovered him just is he turn
ed the bottle up to his month, but could
not reach him in time to prevent his
swallowing a portion of its contents.
Every effort was made to relieve the
child's suffering and to save its life,
but death ensued the next day as stat
ed. Thanksgiving day was quietly
observed in Lancaster. The banks and
other places Of business generally were
closed, Many citizens spent the day
in the fields, hunting. The union SER
vices at the Baptist church were well
attended. A sermon appropriate to the
occasion was preached by DR.. Bold
ridge. The collection, as heretofore
stated, was for the different orphan
ages. Chief Of Police Hunter, armed
with search warrant, seized keg or
beer Wednesday in the possession OF
Mr.. John w. Elliott, and had 1t placed
in the guard house. 1t had been ship
ped here by express. Mr.. Elliott insti-
tuted claim and delivery proceedings
for the recovery of the beer, before
Magistrate w. P. Caskey. A special
deputy. DR.. ]. E. Rutledge, went to the
guard house. forced open the door and
took possession Of the keg. There Will
likely be a lively fight over the matter
in the courts. A death under pecu-
liarly sad and distressing circumstances
occurred here Wednesday night, that
,of little Jennie Linn. the infant daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Stewman,
aged about IL months. The child sus-
tanned an injury of the head the day
before. at the home Of the parents. 1t
is thought that the little one, while
playing in the room with one or two
other small children, probably fell off
a lounge. its head striking the corner
Of a small box on the floor. The blow
did not seem to be serious at the time
however. and il was not until the next
day that any alarming symptoms de-
veloped, when the child began to have
convulsions. 1t was attended by sew
eral local physicians and by DR.. Pryor
If Chester, and everything possible
was done, but without avail, to save
the child's life. Jennie Linn was an
unusually sweet. bright child and was
admired for her striking beauty by all
who had ever seen her.

THE KELLY, BOND CASE.
Bonding Company Denies Its Respon-
sibility in Case.

Gu Saturday there will come up for
hearing in the Shawnee county district
court the demurrer filed by the little
Guaranty and Trust company of Scran-
ton, Pa, to the suit brought by the
state to recover on the bond, of T. T.
Kelly, ex-tate treasurer.
Today there was conference in the
office of Governor Hoch in regard to
who should be recognized as attorneys
in the case. When G. G. Coleman was
attorney general, Governor Hoch and
others employed J. w. Gleed and A. F.
Williams to assist the state in the
prosecution of Kelly. Attorney Gen
eral Jackson wanted to find out wheth-
er or not Gleed and Williams were to
be still considered in the case. 1t was
decided at the conference that Gleed
and Williams should be retained to
continue to assist in Kelly's prosecu-
ton.
Kelly's shortage on account Of the
Devlin failure was about $25, 900. Kelly
deposited $550,000 of the states money
in Devlin's bank to try to save the
bank from ruin, but the effort failed,
and the state holds Kelly's bondsman
liable.

BRYAN IN TOPEKA.
Famous Democrat Will Be Chief
Orator at Kansas Banquet.

| William Jennings Bryan, the far
famed Nebraskan and Democratic
| candidate for the presidency of the
United States. is to deliver a speech
| In this city just about three months
| from today.
He has accepted the invitation ex-
tended to him b.. the Kansas Demo
| cratic Club to b. the guest of honor
| of that organization at it's annual ban
| Quet. This affair will be held next
year on the same date as it has in
years past, or since the organization
was erected three years ago by Col.
w. +. Sapp, the anniversary of Wash
ington's birth. February %.
In times past these banouets have
been held in the dining room at the
Hotel Throop, which has always been
crowded to its limit. but the COM
lnlttee having charge of the arrange
that with Mr.. Bryan. who is exceed
ingly popular with the Democrats of
Kansas, as a drawing card the dining
room at the Throop. which is far and
away the largest in the city, will be all
too small! for the crowd that will
clamor to hear the twice defeated
candidate for the presidency and who
has announced his willingness to be a
candidate again If his party calls.
So the committee has secured the
Auditorium for the banquet this year
and 1t is the fond expectation of the
officers of the Democratic club that
at least fifteen hundred tried and true
Democrats will sit down to the feast
and that there will be as many more
in the galleries to hear Mr.. Bryan and
the other speakers who have not been
chosen as yet.
This annual banquet of the Demo-
cratic club is looked upon as the
great big rally of the year for the
members of the Democratic party in
the state. The membership of the
club is scattered all over the state
and during the day of the banquet and
the succeeding day the situation of
the party is talked over and prelimi-
nary plans are formed for the ap-
preaching campaigns.
The annual meeting of the Demo-
poses of any reorganization that may
be desired is held on the afternoon
preceding the banquet and it is likely
that at tbs meeting and also at the
banquet itself, resolutions will be
adopted endorsing Mr.. Bryan as the
Democratic candidate for president.
George F. Hodges, of Olathe, one
of the three Democratic state sena-
tors, is the president OF the club, w.
H. Kemper of this city is secretary
and Frank Thomas. of this city is
treasurer. These officers are on the
committee on arrangements for the
banquet and were responsible for get
ting Mr.. Bryan to accept the invita-
zion to be the guest of honor of the
club and. make the principal speech.

AFTER SEWER BUILDERS.
City Wants to Call Hanley & Richie
to Account.

The city is now after Hanley &
Richie, who under that firm name
constructed the Sixth ward sewer. The
city claims that the sewer has not been
properly maintained though the con-
tracing firm is under bond until Feb
ruary of 1908 to keep the sewer filled
up where the excavations have settled.
to smooth off and grade the surface
where needed and to repair all the
pavementS where they were damaged
by the sewer excavation machinery.
THE company has not done a lick
of work since they built the sewer"
said Mayor Green, in discussing the
situation with Frank Snyder, street
commissioner, who called the mayors
attention to the trouble. For that
matter they are not different from any
Of the other contractors. They very
seldom live up to their contracts be-
cause the city does not hold them
strictly to account. In the present in
stance Hanley & Richie have left the
sewer in the condition it was when thew
finished the contract. There is con-
siderable work to be done. I am in
formed. The only thing to do is to
notify the bondine company who are
gureties for the sewer contractors
