NO WEDDING BELLS
A. b. Simlick Tells Story of I'm
reQuited Love.
ShOwered Presents on Rosa Gam
mon for Years.
SPENT ALL HIS MONEY.
Then She Calls Police and Has
Him Arrested.
This LIS Tale LOyelOrn Man Tells
to Police Judge.

When A. B. Simlick went to the nome
of his sweetheart, Rosa Cannon, at
412 East Seventh street, early thursday
evening and demanded the return OF
his ring, watch, money and mlscelane-
Gus property, an officer was called ana
SimIick was taken to the police station
on charge of disorderly conduct:
This morning Simlick told Judge
Urmy of a love affair BACK IN Candoa
several years ago.
Rosa and I lived in Winnipeg ana
were children in school together said
Simlick 1.-TWO years ago we were en-
gagged to be married. l had always
loved the girl and wanted to make ner
happy So I bought her a ring and
watch While I was in ontario sent
her presents every few days.
Zone day I decided to go to Duluth
to start a furniture store and wanted
my Rosa there too, SO sent the lam
lily enough money to get to Duluth
Instead of going to Duluth, the FAMILY
came to Topeka. 1 came here too, and
helped the family all l could. gave
them nearly all the money L mad ana
went to work.
"When nv money was gone, the girl
and her parents did not seem glad to
see me- learned the girl did not want
me to call on her. Last night went
to the house and demanded the pro-
perty that is mine. She was wearing
The watch I gave her. On her finger
was a ring. I bought that, too. Even
the pictures on the wall and the furnl-
ture in the rooms was bought with my
money. She said she could not return
my things and ran to the. home OF
neighbor and called the police. Then
was arrested and brought here Honest,
Judge, I have spent a thousand dollars
on that girl and now when l am near
ly broke, she turns me down. 1t isn't
right. Isn't there some way l can get
nv things back? If they would just
give me my money back, wouldn't
care SO much. :.
Il don't want to marry the girl II
she dosn't want me, but 1 do want
someone to help me get my money and
that ring
Simlick, who says he stays at s12
Kansas avenue. gave bond for his trial
in police court this afternoon.
The police were asked today to help
locate the men who Thursday nlgnt
stole a large amount of tools and gas
fittings from a house being built at Sl5
Garfield street. There has been num-
Der of these cases lately" said Chief
jenkins, land if people want their tools
protected, they should arrange to place
them under lock and key,

mated at Sill per day per capita. At
present there are six patients in the
camp.
The work. SO far, has been almost
wholly charitable, the camp having had
but one full pay patient. Nearly all
try to pay a little. One patient is cared
for by the U and I club
The work of the Provident Associa-
ton among the poor brought out the
necessity for some means of isolating
trbercular cases to prevent the spread
of the disease as well as to promote
its cure. AS an experiment the camp
was started in a small way last March
and a few months later, when the So
ciety for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis was organized, this soci-
ETY. took over the work. The purpose
of the local anti-tuberculosis associa-
ton is to join in the most practical way
possible the fight against the disease
which is going on all over the country.
Everybody should be interested in
helping it along. One way, a good way
and an easy way, is to buy as many
Red Cross Christmas seals as you can
afford. Every penny helps-and there
are 10000 seals in Topeka to be sold.

FOR REAL STATE FAIR.
Senator Cook Wants Permanent Build
ings and Institution.

Beloit, Kan, Dec. 9.-Senator Arson
s. Cook of Mitchell county is in favor
of a state fair. But he believes that
the city which gets the fair should do
nate the site He is willing to give To-
peka the first call.
He wants the state agricultural de-
partment and the agricultural college
to be represented in the fair manage
ment He also says that all appropri-
ations should be for permanent i'm
provements and that the state should
be placed at no expense for current ex-
penses or premiums.
ct believe that nine-tenths of the
people of Kansas think that the Mem
orial hall should have been built for
the original 100000 appropriation"
he said ct shall not vote for any bill
which carries more than S250,O00 for
that purpose"
The senator says he is in favor of
making a second conviction for selling
liquor penitentiary offense, that a
law should be passed to enable coun-
ties to work prisoners on the roads,
and that the state printing plant should
print all blank books, blanks and rec
ords for the various counties.

Good Work in Topeka Tubercu.
lOsis Camp.
Rigid Discipline and Careful
Diet Working Wonders.

There is a little camp colony on the
south bank of Soldier creek, in the
outskirts of North Topeka, so CHEEKY
and comfortable in it's winter aspect
that the uninitiated would never guess
its tenants to be victims of the great
white plague.
When the camp was opened last
spring for the benefit of tubercular
patients among the poor of the city,
care was taken in laying it out to make
it as attractive as possible. There's no
prettier stretch of woods around To-
peka.
A dozen tents were put up, includ-
ing an Office, kitchen and dining room
and individual sleeping tents for each
patient. Everything needful for the
best sanitation has been supplied and
rigid camp rules are enforced. Little
