court asking for a decree requiring a
reorganization OF the Corn Products

the Glucose Sugar Refining company
and the officers of those companies
from selling or conveying to the Corn
PRODUCTS Refining company any prop

LICENSED LOOT.
Remarkable Book by I'll. b. Kelly. a
Topeka Man.

A Topeka man, H. B. Kelly. has writ
ten little book of 1900 words which
is more or less sensational from a po-
Htical standpoint He calls it Licensed
Loot and the subtitle is "A Story OF
Mathematical Greed and Graft"
The subtitle gives a better Idea OF
what the book contains. 1t is a
vigorous and convincing attack on the
tariff system, including a discussion Of
the money question.
To emphasize his points he uses IL
lustratfon with the result that what
are usually considered abstruse prob
lens may be readily grasped.
Here is one of them:

MARRIAGE is ANNULLED.
Mrs. w. w. Miller Freed From Hus-
band Who Got Her 800.


Judge Dana this afternoon granted
q divorce to Mrs. W. w. Miller on the
grounds that the marriage was con-
tracted through fraud. Several years
ago Mrs. Miller and her former hus-
band, w. C. Freeman, moved from a
farm near Coffeyyille to Topeka, hav-
ing during their lifetime accumulated
considerable property.
About a year ago Mr.. Freeman died
and she went to the farm near Cof-
feyvil1e on a trip to look after her
holdings in that part or the state.
While there about noon one day a
horse trader by the name of w. w.
Miller asked permission TO water and
feed his team and get dinner for him
self at the farm house, which was
granted
He tarried for a few hours after
the noon day meal and judging from the
events which have transpired since he
must have been a busy horse trader
though his energies were exerted along
other lines Late in the afternoon of
this day the widow of less than a year
hitched up one for the farm teams and
with the horse trader drove to Oswego
Where they were married
They then went to one Of the hotels
where Mr.. Miller borrowed 800 from
his bride and excusing himself for few
moments disappeared as mysteriously
as though the ground had swallowed
him.. From that day to this Mrs. Miller
claims that she has seen nothing of her
recreant husband. Finally firing of
her lonesome honeymoon she applied to
the court for relief with the result as
above stated.

Professional PicI<DOckets Were Busy
in Topeka.

The gang of pickpockets who came
IN from Kansas City to help open the
Baseball season. became busy Friday.
and picked some pockets on the ball
park cars James T. Bradley. receiver
OF the First National bank, was one
of the losers, and Norris L. Gage an
other.
Mr.. Bradley lost his pocketbook
containing some valuable papers and
IS in money, and the pocketbook was
later found in Shunganunga creek,
where 1t had been thrown by the thief.
The money had been removed. Mr..
Gage lost his pocketbook, but it con-
tanned no money. After changing a
small bill. the only money he had
taken with him, he put the change in
a vest pocket and saved it.
Several of the pickpockets have
been recognized by Topeka people, but
the new police force is not very well
posted on this class of visitors, and
there Is little chance of any of them
being caught. The light-fingered
gentry will stay over and collect the
portable property of the old soldiers
who are coming to the encampment.
