NEGRO JANTroR DISAPPEARS.
State House Guardian Who Fought
Cyclists Can't Be Found

Fred Fauntroy, of Lawrence, the
state house janitor who achieved con-
siderable fame recently by his row
about the enforcement of the anti
bicycle law in the state house square,
is missing, and has not been seen
since December 81.
On December 81. Fauntroy was at
work with other janitors cleaning
some chandeliers. The word was
brought that the auditor was ready to
pay off the janitors for their Deem
Der work. Fauntroy climbed down
from the ladder, went to the auditors
office, got his warrant, went to the
treasurer's office and cashed it, and
has not been seen since. 1t is re-
ported that Fauntroy left because of
some personal trouble.
Through the influence of w. Y.
Morgan and C. A. Ryker, member of
the board Of railroad commissioners,
both of Hutchinson. Walter Evans has
been appointed to the job of janitor in
Fauntroy's place. Evans is from
Hutchinson, and is one of the active
colored politicians of that locality.
Evans was appointed by Secretary of
State Denton.
Walter Evans will be remembered
as the Janitor appointed by 1. L. Day
hoff, when Dayhoff was superinten-
dent OF education. Dayhoff in
sisted on using Evans as clerk in
his office, and Evans refused to obey
the floor scrubbing orders of J. c. Col
Inns, who was then custo dian. Col
Inns fired Evans, and Dayhoff rein
stated him. There was a big row, and
several efforts to patch the thing up,
but Evans was finally discharged. The
blame for the fuss was generally laid
at Dayh offs door.
Evans said today in speaking of his
reinstatement: I'm glad I'm back
here, and I'm glad I've got only one
boss now. 1 can get along all right
with one boss, but 1 can't get along
with two nohow."

HUGHES HAS A NEW BOOM.
It Is for Secretary of the National
Guard Association.

Adjutant General J. w. f. Hughes of
Kansas is being doomed" for the
office of secretary of the National
Guard Officers Association of America,
of which Senator Dick is president. The
boom for secretary was started some
where back east, and has been growing
SO fast that it looks as though General
Hughes might be elected without much
opposition. The association meets in
Boston week after next. and General
Hughes is planning to attend the meet
ing.
81 am not a candidate for this posi-
ton of secretary" said General Hughes,
but there seems to be quite a move
ment to give me the place"
The editor Of the National Guard
Magazine, in his January number, uses

General Hughes endorses the work of
the National Guard and speaks of it's

HOcH IS HEARING.
Large Numbers of Replies to His Tele-
grams Received.

Governor Hoch this morning received
from the wholesale dealers of Wichita
petition urging him to call special
session of the legislature for the enact
ment of a guaranty deposit law. The
petition is signed by 25 business houses.
The governor also has on file the
Geographic protest against the special
session from the banks of Wichita.
kilograms have been coming in to the
governors office in large blocks today.
Five and six at time is the usual
consignment brought by the messenger
boys. The replies, however, are not be-
ing made public.
There will be no announcement
made today of whether L will call a
special session. said Governor Hoch.
1t is likely that the governor will be
ready to settle the proposition by Sum-
day. Whether the decision will be for
or against seems to be entirely a mat
ter of guesswork. There are shrewd
politicians guessing each way.
The situation seems to be about as it
has been, which is this: Governor Hoch
wants to call the session, and will do
so If he can figure out that the mem
bers would perform If called. The
purpose of the session will be, if call
is issued, to pass a guaranty deposit
law, but anything else may be taken

There will be $4,000 persons who
will gain the floor and galleries. Each
of these persons to gain admiS sion
must hold both ticket and a badge.
The duplication of identification is re-
quired so that a person can not slip
in and then pass the ticket out for
some one else to use. The distrIbu-
ton of these badges and tickets is one
of the hardest things Mr.. Hechinger
has on his hands. When a conven-
ton was held in Philadelphia recently
some offers were made as high as 5000
per set of tickets.
Although he has been clerk for the
1908 convention less than week, Mr..
Hechinger has already received hun
dreds of applications for the coveted
slips. To all such letters one response
is returned-the only person who can
oblige is the national committeeman
from the state. These. the delegates
and the subscribers to the fund to de-
fray the expenses of the convention
in the city where it is held and a few
special guests are the only recipients.
None of these tickets are issued until
the day preceding the convention,
when they are sent in sealed packages
to the national committeeman. Be-
fore being sent out they must be
counted by three persons besides the
clerk. and the number checked. after
which they are delivered by hand and
once apparent that the fellow who
seeks to get inside the hall has his
hands full.
In addition to the obligation of
handling admission matters, the chier
confidential clerk is charged with
financial responsibility for the opera
ton of the gallery.

Geo. K. Bunce of Tecumseh has

FOR FREE ANTlTOxIN.
Golden Belt Medical Society Would
Have 1t Made at Manhattan.

The Golden Belt Medical society met
in Manhattan yesterday afternoon. The
Topeka physicians present were Drs.
Crumbine, Esterly, Bowen, Storrs and
J. E. Minney. The free distribution of
antitoxin was discussed and was re-
ferred to committee to report at the
next meeting of the society which will
be held in Abilene in April The So
ciety seemed to be almost unanimously
in favor of the plan.
AS the Agricultural college is prepar-
ing tubercolin for testing tuberculous
cattle, it seems that they might also
manufacture antitoxin. The manu-
facture of antoxtin at the college
would be an economic factor inasmuch
as these scientific teachers are in the
employ of the state and are engaged
in similar scientific research. DR..
Crumbine suggested as a public health
problem 1t would be worth all 1t cost.
Dr. Minney said that 1t should be fur
nished free to the poor because of their
inability to pay and that those who
could afford it paid the taxes and in
this way it would be Treating all fairly.
Dr. Crumbine also attended the meet
ing .of the veterinary surgeons which
met at the Agricultural college during
the week.

MAKES A FIND OF ASPHALT.
Street Commissioner Unearths Several

The city has discovered deposit of
asphalt and is now mining its product.
The mine is located within the city

particularly extensive, but there -

plant was taken away some of the
material was abandoned. Snyder
went to this location to get some
crushed rock that was left. While
experimenting the loading of the
rock he found pieces of asphalt lying
about and then studded his toe on
big piece. This led him to examine
more carefully and taking pick he
uncovered quite a mass of the asphalt.

KINGDOM FOR SALE.
Prince Ludwig NIenelik Is Looking for
Purchaser

Berlin, Jan. 3.-To sell kingdom
: Ia the purpose of a strange visit which
Prince Ludwig Menelik' of Abyssinla
is making to continental Europe, with
the probability that his crusade IN
search of a purchaser will reach
America, if unsuccessful in Europe.
Prince Ludwig is the nephew OF
A1enelik, present ruler of Abyssinia
He is a well-groomed frock-coateds
siik-hatted gentleman who speaks
faultIess English. At present he is
in Berlin. He came to Berlin from
Paris and he says he is on the look
out for an European or an American
capitalist who may be persuaded TO
acquire possession of his vast do
mains in northern Abyssinia, aggre-
eating 10000 acres. He says he De
ueves his lands contains incalcula bic
wealth in the form of diamond, coal
and gold mines, to say nothing OF for
ests of rubber trees and cotton planta-
tons.
Prince Ludwig says he really pre-
fers this purchase shall be developed
by American capital rather than Eng
fish, French or German. He COM
plains because the designs of the Eu-
ropean powers upon Abyssinia are not
altogether disinterested. He says, on
the other hand, that his properties
may be disposed of to an American
without endangering the safety Of his
uncle's throne.
The domain which Prince Ludwig
offers for sale is in northern Abys-
sinia in that portion nearest the Red
sea. No price has as yet been named,
but the prince finds himself facing a
dual necessity. First, the need for
cash, and secondly the need of north
ern Abyssinia of development.
Prince Menelik has been in cor
respondence with Booker T. Washing
ton already, and it Is possibly that the
Fri rnuo1ict visit American
shores If his kingdom is not purchased

DALTON UNDER KNIFE.
Submits to Second Operation to Save
His Injured Arm.

Emmett Dalton. who was paroled
from the state penitentiary by Cover
nor Hoch that he might undergo an
operation in the hopes of saving his
right arm which was shattered by a
rifle ball during the Coffeyville raid
fifteen years ago, was operated on the
second time at Bethesda hospital this
morning by DR.. John Outland. At the
time of the injury it was Improperly
treated though it afterwards apparent
" healed and gave Dalton no trouble
for about twelve years. Since that
time it has given him more or less
trouble and finally, just prior to his
release from the penitentiary, 1t be-
came entirely useless.
When he came to Topeka for treat
ment in July the flesh on his arm from
the elbow to the shoulder was as hard
as bone and almost devoid Of feeling
and his fingers and hand entirely use
less At the first operation which, fol-
lowed his release a few weeks several
inches of the disease ed bone were re-
moved and drainage tubes inserted.
There were grave doubts at the time
as to the possibility of saving the in
jured arm. The wounds healed read
lily and Dalton partially regained the
use of the arm as well as his hand and
fingers A slight touch of the old
trouble appeared several weeks ago
and it was for the purpose of eliminat-
ing this that the second operation was
performed this morning.
An examination made this morning
proved that there was a slight infec-
ton of the bona where three inches
of it had been cut away In the former
operation, but the real source of the
trouble was in the flesh through which
the rifle bullet had plowed it's course.
Dalton will in all probabilities be out
on the streets again within three or
four days and the doctors who ex-
amined the wounded arm are of the
opinion that the operation will prove
successful and that Dalton will
eventually regain the use of the MEM
Der. The flesh has taken on a healthy
glow and is as soft and pliable as It
was before the injury while the use of
the fingers and wrist is gradually re-
turning

HE DOES THE WORK.
The Man Who Arranges Details of the
Big Convention.

Chicago, JAN s.-The confidential
clerk OF the big Republican national
convention, to be held in Chicago in
1908, is L. c. Hechinger of East
Orange, IN j., who has occupied the
position for the lasts1two conventions.
Few people realize the responsibility
and burden of a position of this sort.
Arranging for a national convention Is
mighty undertaking. far different
from the handling of a ward caucus.
Probably the most important duty de-
volving upon Mr.. Hechinger is the re-

to the convention hall, a subject which
is already agitating thousands of peo-
pie from Maine to Oregon, who ara

Decides Federal Court Has No Juris-

Deciding that he had no Jurisdiction,
Judge Pollock in the United States dis
trtct court threw out the suit of Ack-
erman VS.. Trey from Osborne county in
which the constitutionality of a por-
ton of the law affecting the probate
court was Questioned.
r. H. Towne, attorney for Alderman,
claimed that the sale of 100 acres of
Osborne county land which was made
by the probate court a number of years
ago when the heirs of an estate were
minors was fraudulently conducted
The sale which netted 81 $50 at the time
was too cheap. After the elapse of
years the heirs became of age and this
suit resulted. The estimated value Of
the land is now said to be between 49,
600 and $1,000.

Phil Metsker of Pottawatomie county
who has been sued by the government

agent on the Pottawatomie reservation,
who claims that Metsker secured some
Indian ponies from one of the Indians
on the reservation at a price below the
real value of the ponies and then re-
fused to make restoration when COM

full amount that the ponies are said to
be worth was then instituted.
