Madam Emma Calve. the great
French singer. who will appear in con-

She had originally intended to take the
Santa Fe plug from Kansas City to To-

on to Topeka in one of the Santa Fe's
better trains. She refused to receive

PASSES 1900 MARK.
Senator George Hayden One of Those
to Lose Vote.

At O'Clock this afternoon the reg
istration in the city of Topeka passed
the 1000 mark. 1t is expected by
Captain Titus that 1880 names will
have been registered by the time the
books close at 10 o'clock tonight, over
1000 above the highest previous male
registration here. About 125 voters
registered this morning, bringing the
total of 1886 registered last night up
to 1891 at noon today. The COM
missioner and his assistants were kept
much buster this afternoon than they
were this morning and are expecting
a big rush tonight.
Captain Titus had a spirited debate
this afternoon with ex-senator George
Hayden, who desired to register, but
who, according to Captain Titus was
caught by the thirty day clause in the
election law which requires con-
tinuous residence in a ward for thirty
days prior to the date of election. The
difference between the captain and the
ex-state senator was as to what con-
stitutes a place of residence. The
senator claimed that the dining table
constitutes a home while the captain
held to the theory that no home was
complete without a bed. In other
words the dispute was over whether
or not a boarding house or sleeping
apartment comprised a home, or place
of residence. in the eyes of the law.
Captain Titus held the balance of
