 It is said the Town Plot school district is willing to come into the central district provided they are given just the same privileges as the city schools now have. But the voters of the district have no liking for consolidation which means noth- ing to them but more taxes.

INCUBATOR BABY
HAS BIRTHDAY

Topeka, KAN, Feb. 15.-The ia
NOUS incubator baby" of the st.
Louis Worlds Fair for the possess
sion of which the mother, Mrs. Char
lotte Bleakley, and the foster moth
or, Mrs. Stella Barclay, have been
lighting in the courts of Kansas and
illinois, Is today years old.
The baby was born in St. Louis
hospital on February Is, 1904, and
was so frail that it was sent to the
incubator BABY concession at the st.
Louis exposition. The child remain
ed at the exposition throughout the
summer. Mrs. Barclay and her hus-
band were in charge of that exhibit
and they decided to adopt the child.
They took out adoption papers and
took the baby to their home in I'LL
nois. They understood then that the
baby was the daughter of an actress.
After the child was adopted, Mrs
Bleakley, who had been informed
that her baby was dead, learned
where it was and claimed it. This
started litigation which has lasted
nearly four years.
The Illinois courts first decided in
favor of Mrs. Bleakley, but the court
of appeals reversed this decision and
ordered "a new trial. Then Mrs.
Bleakley returned to her former
home in Lawrence, Kan, and lived
there with the child for long time
before Mrs. Barclay found where
she was. Then the suit began In
Kansas. The supreme court here
has held in favor of Mrs. Bleakley.
Last summer an effort was made to
kidnap the child, but failed and Mrs.
Bleakley came to Topeka to live.
She is now here with the baby.
About two months ago Mrs. Bar
clay obtained writ OF habeas cor
pus in the United States circuit
court and this was recently argued.
TIE case was submitted on tho
agreed statement of facts. The
Barclays admit that Mrs. Bleakley
r. the mother of the child. The
entire case hinges ON che legality
Of the adoption papers, which the
Barclays produced In Missouri.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bleak1ey have been
divorced, and Mrs. Bleakley lives
with her mother, Mrs. Cora Thomp-
son.

Mrs. John A. Logan Writes
On The Doings Of Congress

, the Legislatures of Georgia and
Alabama.
Mississippi has not yet come into
inc but doubtless it is only a ques-
ton OF but ID brief time when she
VIII be in the lists of prohibition
Southern states.
The large coloreI population nj
'hese states makes it very neces-
sary Tor them 10 suppress the drink
habit as many Of the ignorant ne
Sroes are addicted to intemperance.
lt has been said that in times OF
overflows Of the Mississippi river the
only way the levecs could be
strengthened and protection given
to the cities, towns and country on
the shores of the river was by freely
distributing liquor among the ne
sroes. When under it's influence
they would go under the water al
most to the drowning point and
work until they were overcome.
Liquor and tobacco have, I'M
doubted1y, been the curse OF Ameri-
ca, and it behoves all aw-abiding
citizens who are interested in the
welfare of the nation to supplement
the work of the advocates of temper
ance with all the power they possess
In Germany the temperance ele-
ment Of that great empire has taken
hold of the matter in an earnest
way and is now retitioning for the
segregation Of intoxicated people on
passenger trains.
The most important steps, how
ever, are those taken by the Prus
sian Minister of Justice. who has
inaugurated movement for the alb
clifton of compulsory beer-drink-
ing among university students.
The excessive use of beer and
alcohol is doubtless responsible for
the duels and barbarous sword prac-
tees which are universal among
the students of Germany, 1t has
often excited disgust to see Officers
and scholars of Germany with thell
faces full of scars and disfigure-
ments from cuts received in duelinG
while students.
While this movement in the Kali
ser's empire should result in gen
eral suppression of the use of beer
by the population of Germany, it
would be a blessing to those SPLEEN
did people.
Sweden probably leads in fortui-
tous results in this line through
her famous Colt nburg system OF
controlling the liquor trade.
The Empress of China has also
been actively interested in the move
ment for the abolition of the opium
trade, the baneful use of which is
as d sastrous to the people of China
as the excessive use of alcoholic
beverages of other nations.
The steady increase of the army
of temperance advocates and the
marvellous reformation which they
have wrought argues well for the
future of temperance, morally and
the higher ambitions Of the nations
of the earth.
To have succeeded in enlsting the
men of the nation in the holy cause
of the abolition of w'hiskey and
tobacco is the greatest victory that
the women all the world over have
achieved, and they should be encour-
aged to more stupendous efforts in
the future than in the past.
