1t was a noticeable fact that at the
the Shawnee Fire c., at Seventh and
Jackson street yesterday evening to
take some action in pushing the com
mission plan of city government that
all of those opposed to the PROPOSE
tion were candidates for office or
closely connected with the said can
didates. Mayor Green is openly in
favor of the plan.
There is no doubt whatever that II
an election were held here to decide
the matter that the vote would be
largely in favor of the plan, but the
trouble is to get the business men OF
the city behind the scheme and place
1t before the people.
Said a gentleman today who has
served three years on the city council:
There is no doubt at all in my mind
but the commission plan of city gov
eminent offers many advantages over
the present plan. 1t would be cheap
er for the people in the long run and
much more efficient work could. be
done for the city at large by commits
sioners. Then there would be individ-
uaI responsibility for mistakes and
bad management and graft
THE plan could yet be brought be-
fore the people for a vote if a few
business men would get behind it. But
the trouble is you can hardly get
Topeka business man away from his
business long enough to vote, to say
nothing of getting him interested in

STUDY THE TARIFF.
j. l.. Bristow Will Devote Attention
to New Schedules.

J. L. Bristow, of Salina, who will be
the next United States senator from
Kansas, was in Topeka today. Mr..
Bristow is confident that there will
be no trouble about his election when
the legislature meets.
II do not think that my opponents
will try to make any fight" said Mr..
Bristow. 1.-THE Republican majority
is too large, and it would cause too
much Of an overturning in the Re-
publican party to attempt anything of
the Sort
Mr.. Bristow says that he expects to
put in most of his time between now
and March in studying the tariff ques-
ton.
''I have never made study of the
tariff said Mr.. Bristow today. MY
knowledge of it is about that of the
average citizen. 1t will now be
necessary for me to go into this
question as deeply as possible. I am
protectionist, but 1 believe that
there are some things upon which
the tariff should be removed or re-
duced. The tariff should be removed
from lumber, for one thing.
81 am opposed to the removal of
the tariff from sugar. Kansas has
stood loyalty by the protectionists all
these years when she had no industry
to protect and now that she has
something to protect 1 think there

Peter Van VIissingen, Most Colossal
Forger in Criminal History of the
West.

A deliberate plan to swindle extend
ing over a period of nearly 20 years,
and involving frauds of 100000, was
calmly admitted by the prisoner. He
described in detail the plans by which
he operated and said without evident
feeling that his closest friends had been
his heaviest victims.
The forgeries were accomplished by
the tracing method, according to the
testimony of the prisoner and he had
a unique plan for making his work per-
feet and at the same time easy.
Il had a hole in my office table, he
said on the witness stand. cover this
aperture 1 had piece of glass inlaid
and just beneath it there was an in
candescent light. When I was making
these tracings 1 did so at night and
alone. I turned out all the other lights,
turned on the light under the table, laid
the genuine document over the glass,
fitted another form just above it, and
traced every signature and every fig
ure on it. Therefore the work was per-
feet in every detail.''

UEAGAN BOUND OVER.
Russian Who Hit Prospective Relative
With an Axe Held.

John Deagan, the wild and woolly
Cossack of Little Russia" who, while
saturated with the Topeka-made
vodka, assaulted a countryman, his
prospective father-in-law, with a axe,
was bound over to stand trial in dis
trict court.
The trial of Deagan occupied a
major portion of two days, closing at
5 o'clock last evening. All the wit
nesses in the case were Russians, and
there were many of them. H. P. Mil
Ter, the versatile councilman from the
Second ward, acted as interpreter, and
put in a hard days work. The wit
nesses seemed not only averse to the
English language, but to the court
rules which require a witness to an
swer questions on the stand. 1t was
CLEANED that, on the evening of Octo-
Der rs, which, of course, was Sunday,
as the Little Russias'' fight on Sunday
only, the defendant, Deagan, armed
with an axe, applied the blunt end of
the tool to the Uranium of John
Strack, an elderly Russian of recent
importation. That the assault was
made in the kitchen of Ignatz Bright's
house. It appeared also, from the
testimony of Mike Rabe, that after
knocking Strack down with the axe,
Deagan drew a knife and talked seri-
ously of finishing well started job OF
homicide.
It might be gathered from the testi-
mony of old man Strack himself, that
the favorite pastime of the evening
had been that in-and-out-door sport,
soak the old man." Strack was well
soused, but remembers that even be-
fore the assault made by Deagan,
some one "slagt' him a couple of
sIagts on the ear, and kicked him off
a porch. tossed him over a low fence
ct cetera. He did not take this seri-
ously, considering this treatment mere
iy a neighborly pleasantly, but was
really provoked at Deagan for hit
ting him with an axe.
The testimony of all the principal
witnesses was hazy, but this is easily
explained. The party had consumed
an assortment of booze, estimated all
the way from ten to nineteen quarts.

beautiful music, the local jokes, the
new acts, the work of the immense
orchestra and the admirable stage
management, has been said and there
is nothing more to do but wait for
the verdict of the public.

STATE WINS CHAMBERS SUIT.
Affected Horses Have No Value, Says
the Court.

The state won its CHAMBERS suit at
E1Dorado yesterday. This was an ac-
ton brought by Ruckel Brothers
against the state veterinarian and state
live stock sanitary commissioner to
get $1,000 damages because the Off
GERS ordered the Ruckels to kill a
bunch of glandered horses. After the
plaintiff found that the state was go
ing to make a fight. he laid down"
and dismissed his action.
It is rather an interesting fact that
George w. Freerks, Democtltic can
didate for attorney general, represent
ed the Ruckels. while Assistant Attor-
new General John Dawson represented
the state officers who were sued.

FINED UNDER SUNDAY LAW.
CofTeyvilIe Barber Had to Pay SO for
Cutting Friends Hair.

Coffeyville, Nov. 20.-It is unlawful to
cut a mans hair in Coffeyville on Sun
day. This was established Wednesday
morning when Judge Powell in the po-
lice court fined Glen Stark SO for the
offense Stark had pleaded guilty and
paid the fine without protest.
Stark runs the barber shop under
the Junction drug store at Eighth and
Walnut While he was in the shop
Sunday morning an old friend of his
who lives in Oklahoma came in and
wanted a hair cut. Stark told him that
he had no right to do the job but the
friend insisted, saying he was going
right back to the new state stark
