erwise great record. Mary seems to

A dramatic scene was enacted in the
police station this morning when
Charles Baker, a plumber who works
on the city rock pile most of the time
and who is a whisky drinker. was lee
tured in good old fashioned Methodist
style by Chief of Police Eaton. Baker
was caught in a barn by Bob Palmer
and Al Hopkins who had been watch
ing him this morning. He was found
feigning sleep but with big bottle of
whisky under his hay pillow. When
brought in the station he was laughing
and jollying with the officers and see
ing the chief he hellered out. We'll.

and the, old plumber with tears in his
eyes watched the ofiame slowly die
down and thep-buHn out. Looking up
at Mr. Eaton, who was closely Wa.ehi-

chief, let me tell you-1 will be mighty
glad when die and SO will all of you.
He had touched the heart of Chief
Eaton and with the quiet, calm voice
and clear blue eye that has made him
so well liked by the prisoners he took
Baker to the side and told him OF the
many evils of drink and the reasons
he should stop it, Bakers stern old
heart was softened by the appeals of
the chief and with tears in his eyes he
followed the jailer to the cell where he
said he would gladly stay in order TO
keep away from drink.
Baker has never been a bad charac-
ter at the police station. as he never
causes trouble, but he always had that
weakness for drink and he is locked
up on the same old charges. Chief
Eaton said this morning that there
were not many hopes for the plum Der
and he had almost given him up as a
ruined drinker.

For Disability of Woman Who Sued
a Trolley Company.

New York, Oct. 7.-Corsets worn
steadily by women are likely to re-
suit in reducing the ability of the
wearer to perform work, according to
DR.. George b. Gale and DR.. John Nc
Gill, of Jersey City, who testified for
the defense at Newark, n. J., in the
suit of Miss Katherine McKenna,
against the North Jersey Street Rail-
way company, a subsidiary corpora
ton of the Public Service corpora
ton.
Miss McKenna asked for $4,000
damages for injuries sustained in a
trolley collision. The jury awarded
$500. Her claim was that she was
unable to carry on her work as a
saleswoman and could not sleep be-
cause of her injuries.
Counsel for the trolley company
asked the physicians what the effect
of corset wearing would be upon a
saleswoman. Both doctors declared
that in their opinion the corsets would
be likely to cause weakness.

fund.
Mr.. McNalrs son was operated on at
Concordia yesterday for appendicitis,
and Mr.. McNall came to Topeka from
Concordia.
There is very little talk about poll
tics in Smith county" said Mr.. Nc
Nall. Everybody is satisfied with the
way things are going. and there is
nothing to indicate that there is going
to be any great political unheaval."
Same down with u.s." said Mr.
Lamb. Ten years ago it was impos-
sible for two men to get together and
talk without talking politics. Now
there isn't any of that. I take it that
is simply means that everybody is sat

to run the government"
A. P. Riddle said: Ottawa county
will go just about as usual in the <iec-

terest on both Sides
Mr. McNall stated that Smith county

crop, and that it would bring in more
money than any corn crop in the his
tory of the county.
