WILL WORK FOR VOTE.
Kansas Suffragists to Have Head
quarters in Legislature.

The meeting of the Equal Suffrage
association at the Unity church last
night, proved very enthusiastic
meeting and a motion carried without
a voice of dissension to establish
headquarters in the state house dur
ing the coming winter. These head
quarters will be maintained until both
houses pass an equal suffrage bill IL

The meeting was not devoid of
politics Walter Roscoe Stubs, Re-
publican candidate for governor, was
given a great sendoff, for during the
last session of the legislature he used
his influence to work an equal suf-
frage measure through the house.
The fact that this measure was side
tracked in the senate brought forth
volumes of abuse upon the senate and
the senate lodge.
County Attorney John Schenck was
strongly Endorsed for his effective
work in cleaning up Shawnee county
w. F. Schock. candidate for probate
Judge, was present and assured the
women that he knew the difference
between a drug store and a joint. E.
B. Cowgirl, president of the State
Temperance union, was also present
and made a short address on law and
order and told the ladies that when
they got chance to vote that the
problem of closing the saloons would
be forever settled. Incidently there
were two other men present, while
the ladies numbered about a hundred.

SHE WANTED TO DIE.
Miss Josephine Butler Tries in Vain to
Take Own Life.

Word has reached Topeka through
friends, of the attempted suicide of
Miss Josephine Butler, which took
place in Denver two weeks ago. Miss
Buffers home is in Topeka and until
about a month ago she was employed
as waitress at the Fred Harvey eat
ing house in the Santa Fe depot.
1t is a case of the same old story
disappointment in love. Miss Butler
had become enamored of one Ralph
maker by trade, who was at that time
employed by H. L. Tromp. During her
stay at the Harvey house, Collins had
paid her almost constant attention
lover to whom she had been engaged.
So great was her infatuation for
Collins. that she left Topeka during
the summer to get away from her
other lover. She went to Ration, N.
NJ, but "the villain still pursued her"
and she eluded him only by coming
back to Topeka.
Collins left Topeka and went to
Denver to work about a month ago.
He called on Miss Butler at the Har-
vey house and. offered to take her on
a buggy ride, but it wasn't her after
noon off, and when refused special
leave for the afternoon, threw up her
job for spite.
Then she went to Kansas City and
worked there for awhile. A friend ac-
friends and relatives learned of their
whereabouts. a brother went to Kan
sas City and induced her TO return
home. Then Miss Butler returned to
Topeka, and borrowed enough money
to take her to Denver. She secured a
position in the Union Depot cafe.
But being with her lover didn't
prove one grand sweet dream. for he
tired of her and they quarreled.
Afterwards he was found in company
with another girl and Miss Butler was
heartbroken. She threw up her posi-
ton and went to a Denver rooming
house. moving all her effects there.
Then on the afternoon of October
16, two weeks ago Friday, she tried to
end her life. The chloroform. route
was selected She drank the poison.
but just as she put the fatal drops to
her lips, a friend, Gertrude Moulton,
entered the rom and wrested the bot
tie from her. The police were noti-
fed, and her life was saved through
the efforts of a police sergeant.
Before she was fully revived from
the effects of the poison. during her
delirium she repeatedly cried for
Ralph" The police were unable to
learn Ralph's identity. Miss Moulton
knew but refused to tell even after
being arrested.
Miss Butler is we'll again and is back
at her old position in Denver, but it
isn't known what effect her attempted
self destruction had on Ralph.

One of the big headline features will be
the celebrated Hawaiian quintet, which
is conceded to be one of the most en-
PERTAINING musical organizations In
vaudeville. This quintet is a favorite
wherever it appears and the announce
ment of it's coming to the Novelty next
week means that a treat is in store for
the patrons of that playhouse. Her
bert's famous troupe of highly trained
dogs is another of the star attractions
of next weeks bill at the Novelty. In
this act there will be presented the
sensational feature of a remarkably in
telligent dog looping the loop" in addi-
ton to other interesting feats. An
abundance of comedy is promised in
the acts of Clayton and Drew and the
Markee brothers. Clayton and Drew
are reputed to be one of the best trav-
esty teams in the business and their
act will keep the audience in roar
of laughter from start to finish, for
their travesties are fresh and really
funny. The Markee brothers also have
a sure cure for the blues" in their
musical comedy feature, which has
given them prominent place among
the fun-makers of vaudeville. Mr.. +.
B. Hamlin will sing illustrated ballads
and an entirely new series of moving
pictures will be shown by the viascope.
ladies' souvenir matinee will be
given next Friday, when every lady
present will receive a souvenir. The
crush at Yesterdays souvenir matinee
is evidence of the popularity of this in
stitution at the Novelty, and the man
agement states that If the patronage
justifies it an additional matinee will
be appointed when ladies will be given
presents. Attention is called to the
fact that two performances are given
at the Novelty each evening, the first
beginning at 7:45 and the second at

COULD NOT SCORE.
High School Holds washburn Scrubs
in a Fierce Game.

The feature of yesterdays game be-
tween the Washburn scrubs and the
Topeka high school teams was the
fierce and active playing of the Highs,
who while outweighed several pounds
to the man in both the line
and the back field, held their goal
line successfully against the assaults
of Millice's infants. The playing of
Walworth and Adams for Washburn
and Sears, Smiley and Schwalm for
High was impressive in the hard
fought game. The final score was o
to 0, or in other words, there was no
final score.
Washburn had the ball in High ter
ritory all through the first half and
three times an on-side kick went for a
touch back with less than twenty
yards to gain. On straight football
the Highs played like bull terriers and
Washburn failed in nearly every at
tempt to pierce thier line, making
their gains chiefly by the forward
pass, on-side kicks and the tendency
of the Highs to tumble.
The Highs reversed the field of

during the intermission, by rushing the
ball. down to the Highs fifteen yard
line. They were held for downs. High
took the ball and by straight line
bucking carried it to Washburn's
thirty yard line where they lost 1t on
a forward pass. Washburn punted to
the middle of the field and earle car
ried the ball back forty yards before
he was downed. High fought hard for
a touchdown at this point, but was
held on two attempts and Searles'
drop kick for goal went wide. Time
was called with the ball on Wash

minute of play Richardson, who had
caught punt, slipped and fell and his
