FOR DICK THOMAS.
District Court Clerk Who Has Made
Brilliant Record Will Be Kept.

A movement has been started
among the lawyers in Topeka to keep
the office of clerk of the district court
from being used as political foot
ball. They would prefer to see that
only competent men are chosen for
this important position.
Naturally this movement centers
around Dick Thomas, the present
clerk whose term will expire in an
other year. 1t is the plan to have Mr..
Thomas accept the nomination for
another term. He has proved him
self particularly efficient and that is
the kind of man the lawyers, who
are the only ones directly concerned
in this Office, insist upon. Mr..
Thomas who will soon complete his
second term has not yet intimated
that he would accept another term
but there is little doubt that with the
kind of pressure which is being
exerted that he will ultimately con-
sent. He is a Republican has a
wide acquaintance and is deservedly
popular and what is best of all has
made a brilliant record by mastering
the details of the office and keeping
the dockets and records in such shape
that the people who have business
with the court can find what they
want.
No other candidates have ap-
peared and it is believed that none
will enter the contest for the office
IL Mr.. Thomas will consent to be-
come a candidate for denomination
before the Republican primary.

MAIL SACKS RIFLED.
Two Men Hold Up a Train on the
Northern Pacific.

Spokane, Wash, April 30.-Safely
ensconced in some hotel or lodging
house in Spokane. two bandits who
held up Northern Pacific passenger
train No. 8. near Rathdrum, Idaho,
last night are believed to have found
shelter shortly after midnight, wait
ing for the excitement to subside. Two
luckless hoboes, who were captured
by a freight crew last night as sus-
poets were turned loose this morning
but. there is still hope that the right
men may be landed by night
Six sacks of mall were opened by
the robbers who captured the engine
and mail car soon after the train left
Rathdrum about 1925 p. m. Driving
the trainmen with revolver shots and
cutting loose from the coaches they
ran the engine about two miles west
of Trent, where it was abandoned. 1t
is supposed one bandit ran the engine
while the other was searching the
mail sacks.
How much. booty they secured is
not yet known. 1t is suspected they
had an automobile in waiting near
Trent and rushed at once to Spokane
Indications are that the robbers are
experienced in the hold up business
and it is thought they may be the
same men who held up the same en-
gineer at almost the same spot la st
summer

Metropolitan Opera Co. Benefits
$15O,0O0 by His Death.

New York. April 30.--The Metropoli-
tan Opera company will benefit to the
amount of $150,000 by. the death of
Heinrich Conried. Needless to say,
the late director of the Metropolitan
did not leave this amount to the COM
pany in his will. his feelings towards
the opera company not having been
the pleasantest at the time of his re-
tirement. The $4,000 is the amount
of the insurance policy which mem
bers of the company had the fore
sight to take out on the directors. life
when he was selected by the Metro
politan Opera and Real Estate COM
pany to control the destinies of the
opera house. Several members of the
company have been changed since
then, but the premium always has
been paid, even during the last year
when Mr.. Conried had nothing to do
with the company.
The policy. it is said, was taken out
at a time when Conried's health was
perfectly good. 1t simply was pro-
lection in the case of Conried's death
to the new company which then had
been formed. Later when Mr.. Con-
ried's health became bad, when it was
decided the company should pass un-
der the control of Gatti-Casazza and

Holland is celebrating the happy event

The political significance of the oc-

now an heir to the throne of The
Netherlands, a circumstance which
greatly enhances the country's chances
for continued Independence. Every
town and village in Holland is today

The constant fear of the Dutch has
been that the house of Orange would

that Holland would pass under the

MERCURY'S Big DROP.
High Wind Prevents Severe Frost in
Topeka,

The cloudy condition and a stiff
breeze prevented a frost in this local
ity last night. The little dash of rain
early in the night, didn't amount to
much, and is not even credited by the
weather bureau as a trace" The
lowest temperature reached last night
was 80, and a wind from the north
west averaged 18 miles per hour all
night.
Had the wind fallen there would
have been severe frost, says the
weather observer.
The sky is still overcast at 2 o'clock.
but the temperature has risen two de-
grees within the last hour. The wind
is blowing at the rate of 20 miles per
hour from the northwest.
