ct have been Informed that certain
office holders in your department are
proposing to go to the national con-
vention as delegates In favor of re-
nominating me for the presidency or
are preparing to procure my endorse
ment for such denomination by state
conventions. This must not be. I
wish you to inform such officers as

spirit of this instruction, that such

ATCHISON PEOPLE.
Famous Editor Will Bring Friends to
Topeka Lecturs

Besides the Topeka people who will
hear E. w. Howe's lecture, on his trip
around the world at the auditorium
Thursday evening there will be more
than a sprinkling of Atchison citizens
as arrangements have been made for a
special train which will bring the lee
turer and party of friends from
Atchison. The Atchison band will in
all probabilities accompany the party
and furnish music throughout the even
ing.
The lecture in itself is said to be most
interesting and the effect is aided ma
teriaIly by stereoptican views made by
Mr. Howe and his daughter from scenes
and places visited by the father and
daughter in foreign lands. The price
of admission has been placed at 25
cents so that no one may be barred
from the treat on account of the ad-
mission asked.

Commercial Travellers which has the

The city does not support a hospi-

charity of a handful of Topeka citi-

The existence of this institution
which means so much to the poor of
the city was made possible by the
generosity and charity of Norman L.
Gage who three years ago donated the
building valued at $4,000. Since then

modernized the building at a cost of
from eight to ten thousand dollars

Besides donating the building he
has contributed literally to its support
and made possible one of the greatest
charities of which the city can boast.

KAnowsKY NOT GAMLowsKI.
A Son of the Former Not the Latter
Arrested for Sunday Burglary.

The similarity of the names Gam
lowslSi and Kamlowsky which to an
ordinary mortal sound a great deal
alike. has been the source of a large
amount of embarra ssment to the for
mer. The Gamlowsl<i family con-
sists of the father. mother and a small
son who reside in North Topeka and
as far as the courts are concerned the
conduct of the son has always been
first class.
1t is different in the case of the
Kamlowsky family which consists Of
a father. mother and a number of lit
tie Kamlowsky's who seem to have a
natural inclination to break into police
circles. The reporters have a habit of
confounding the two names and when
ever the Kamlowsky youngsters find
their way into police court the Gam
lowski boy gets his name in the paper
in their stead. This happened yester-
day as 1t has in the past, and this item
is written as a correction and to in
form the public that it was little
KamlowslSv who was accused Of rob-
bling the New Era store Sunday night
and not the little Gamlowski.

STCESSEL ARRAIGNED.
Pleads Not Guilty to Charge OF
Throwing Away Port Arthur.

ST. Petersburg Dec. 10-Before bril-
liant assemblage of his old comrades in
arms, Lieutenant General Stoessel was
today placed on trial to answer with
his life and reputation for the loss OF
Port Arthur on the first of January,
1905, and in firm tones and with con-
fident manner the general pleaded not
guilty to the charge of needlessly sur
rendering the fortress and thereby hu-
initiating the Russian army.
The trial took place in the auditor
ium of the Army and Navy club. The
room resembled more a social gather
ing of officers of high rank than the
scene of a court martial. Among the
Judges, spectators and witnesses were
General Kuropatkin, General Linevitch.
General Rennenkampf, Vice Admiral
Wieren and scores of other prominent
leaders in the Russo Japanese war;
There were also present 200 officers and
soldiers who had been at Port arthur
and who today were clad in their full
dress uniforms blazing with stars and
decorations.
tire and this made him conspicuous. He
wore proudly around his neck the cor
don of the military order OF St George
which was conferred upon him by the
emperor during the siege, and on his
breast was pinned the cross of George
III, awarded for conspicuous bravery In
frontier fighting. This same coveted
decoration was worn by many or the
sleeves and crutches, especially among
the men who had been at Port Arthur,
showed that many of them had seen
hard service during the war.
The other accused officers, Generals
Fock, Reiss and Smirnoff, came to the
court clad in their uniforms. General
Smirnoff, who is a bitter enemy of Gen.
Stoessel, ostenstatiously seated himself
as far away as possible from the CEN
trail figure of the proceedings.
COnVOk6d
rniraI Doubassoff He declared it to be
the duty of the court to proceed with
the trial of the four officers charged
with the responsibility OF surrenderlng
the fortress on terms dishonorable to
the garrison and humiliating to the
prestige of Russia. He then called the
roll of 200 witnesses, including General
K11ropatkin and Vice Admiral Wieren,
several of the witnesses were absent,
but the court decided to proceed with
the trial. The entire afternoon was Ia
ken up with the reading of the volum
inous Indictment.
