Council.

Council met IN adjourned session
last Monday night. IL was quite a

were introduced, Others passed to
third reading and others considered
on final passage. The temperance
ordinance was finally tabled.
The councilmen generally ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to a
strong temperance ordinance to con-
form strictly to the state law.
They instructed the city attorney
to draw an ordinance of that kind
with less verbiage and circumlocution
and they would all support 1t.

FOR WIFE'S AFFECTIONS.
Wyandotte Farmer Sues Capitalist T.
b. Brown for $4,000.

Kansas City, Jan. 13-The affection
Of Mrs. Julia A. Harris. the only wo-
man lawyer in Kansas City, Kan. is
valued at $4,000, according to the petit
ton of her husband, Albert Harris. who
has filed suit in the district court
against Thomas B. Brown, a capitalist
of Westminster, Pa, asking $4,000 dam
ages for the alienation of his wife's af-
fections. In connection with the filing
of the suit for damages, an attachment
was run on the Wyandotte building at
the corner of Fifth street and Mime
sofa. avenue, Kansas City. Kan. This
Life building, is valued at something
like $4,000, and is owned by the de-
PENDANT. Thomas B. Brown.
a peculiar phase of the situation is
the fact that there is now pending in
the federal court in Kansas City. Kan,
suit in which Mrs. Julia A Harris is
asking $1,4O0 for services rendered
while in the employ of Thomas B.
Brown, and acting as his agent in TAX
ing care of the Wyandotte building.
Mrs. Harris is well known in Kansas
City, Kan. She has been a practicing
lawyer for several years and has also
been engaged in the real estate bust
ness. Her husband Albert Harris is a
farmer, living in Leavenworth county,
Kan In his petition he says the affec-
lions of his wife, Julia A. Harris, have
been permanently alienated by Thomas
B. Brown and that by reason of
Browns influence over Mrs Harris, her
husband has been deprived of her com
partnership and love.
When seen last night Mr. Brown was
emphatic in his denial of the charges
In the suit. He said he knew Mrs.
Harris quite well and that she for some
time acted as his agent in looking after
his property in Kansas City, Kan. He
said his relations with her had never
been other than strictly business rela-
tions.
why. I have not spoken to the wo-
man for two years." he said. 'It is
rather a peculiar thing to have a wo-
man bring suit against a person for 81, 400
and have her use every effort to col
lect that amount and then in the face
of that have her husband file suit for
damages for alternating her affections.
Certainly it is an unusual way for her
to display any affection for me. The
fact of the matter is that there is alb
solutely not a word of truth in the
charges"

METSKER TRACT SOLD.
w. E. Sterne Disposes of 1t to Syndi-
cate for 100000

A deal was closed Tuesday afternoon
by which a syndicate headed by n. B.
Burge becomes the owner of the 60 acre
piece of land near Lowman Hill known
as the Metsker tract. Five thousand dol
lars of the purchase price of $4,000 was
paid down to bind the bargain and the
transfer of the property will be completed
this week. The syndicate which pur-
chased the property is composed of six
men, five of them residents of Topeka
and the other an easterner. The names
of the purchasers will not be made public
until the details of the transfer have been
arranged.
The tract lies north of Huntoon street
and southeast of Lowman Hill and has
been the property of Mrs. w. F. Sterne
since the death of her father, D. G..
Metsker, a number of years ago. .Numer-
Gus attempts have been made by real
estate men to get possession of the land
so that it could be plated. for it has
never been a portion of the city, although
surrounded by residences.
Mr. Sterne has held the land at $1,000
per acre and had hoped some day to plat
the tract and place it on the market him
self but business enterprises on the Pa
ciflc coast have prevented the completion
of his plans. The tract which was sold
Tuesday was one of four purchased near
" forty years ago by D. C. Metsker, the
others having been plated by Metsker
before his death The other tracts which
were plated are In the Second ward and
are known as MetSkers first, second and
third additions to the city of Topeka.

Negro Editor Was Complaining
of Unfair Treatment.

Claimed Members of His Race
Should Have More Offices.
Republican Leader Said He Had
Not Disseminated.

That j. n. Dolley, the new speaker
| of the house. is a man of action as
well as convictions. none will deny
when they learn of his manner of
dealing with obstreperous office seek
ers. Just before the opening of the
session this morning Mr. DolIey put
Mick" -Chiles, the well known negro
politician and editor of the Topeka
Plaindealer, out of his office, with the
| parting injunction, eff you come in
here again l will kick your backbone
out of the top of your head"
The facts leading up to the in
cldent appear to make Mr.. DO1ley' s
position a case of. where patience
ceased to be a virtue.
A cloud of negro voters and politi-
clans has darkened the horizon of the
begun yesterday morning. All these
brethren wanted job. There were
not enough to begin to go around, so
there was trouble in the air.
AT the close of the deliberations of
the house committee on employees last
night the dissatisfaction of the negro
office seekers dubbed over. and upon
Mick" Chiles developed the task of
bringing the white folks to their
senses.
Anyway, whether as delegate or
volunteer, "Nick" appeared in the
office of the speaker at the rear Of
representative hall this morning when
he had better have been elsewhere.
Mr.. Dolley listened patiently to
the "kick' of the politician over the
small number of jobs parceled out
among the members of his race, and
in answer to the charge that he,
(Dolley). had given the negroes the
worst of it. said:
''Now,i look here, Nick. I went be-
fore the employees committee and
asked them to give the negroes from
fifteen to twenty per cent of the jobs.
That is about twice representation in
house employees that you deserve, as
the negroes cast only between six and
seven per cent of the votes of the
state"
Chiles paid no heed to the sup
pressed anger of the speaker that was
apparent toward the close of his re-
ply, and kept on storming about Dol
ley's alleged unfairness.
Suddenly Dolley sprang to his feet
and seized Chiles by the shoulders and
showed him out of the room.
Chiles made no resistance. Indeed
he was on the outside looking in, be-
fore he realized it. He left the hall
muttering something about big head
since you was elected speaker
Joe Dolley has always been re-
garded as a man of nerve and com
mon sense and this incident will only
strengthen that regard. Chiles got too
fresh and was called down. He rep
resented disgruntled office seekers
and not "the negro race of Kansas
as he claimed in his dialogue with the
speaker. ar

THAT SHERMAN LOVING CUP.
Members of the House Think They
Were Worked.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The members
of the house are having a good deal
of fun poked at them these days. For
some time past there has been going
the rounds of the chamber a sub
scription list pledging contributions
for the purchase of a loving cup for
Representative James S. Sherman of
New York. the vice president-elect-
Each member willingly parted with
$40 as his share of the fund and
looked forward to a pleasant cere-
mony in connection with the
presentation. 1t now turns out that
the cup was given to Mr.. Sherman at
the time of his notification last sum-
mer. a self constituted committee hav-
ing purchased and presented the tes-
timonial. counting confidently of be-
ing reimbursed by their colleagues.
The members who have supplied
the deficiency have not gone so far
as to charge that a trick was perpe-
trated upon them, but in several cases
they have expressed the opinion that
the proceeding was irregular, to say
the least.
