On account of the action of Stahl and
another patrolman who also killed
hoidup man, a city ordinance has been
prepared with the object of making 1t
possible to present medals for valorous
deeds to such men as Stahl.
Patrolman Stahl on the night of the
attempted holdup stepped into the
Last Chance" saloon on East Twenty
his hands and feet before starting out
on his beat again. He was dressed
in plain clothes, a heavy black over
coat protecting him from the rain.
He had been there but two minutes
when youth holding a revolver by
both hands, entered the front door with
the curt demand. Throw up your hands
and line up" Owing to the position
of the doors of the saloon as the man
entered he was in direct line with Stahl
who was farthest away from him
There were three others in the room.
The patrolman had just been looking
at his watch and had his hand inside
of his overcoat putting it away as the
man entered the door. 1t was but the
work of an instant for him to place his
hand on his revolver and cock it.
AS his hands started up the revol-
yer came with it, There was a report
and the highwayman staggered and
then dropped to the floor at the corner
of the bar. Throw up your nands,
tried to do so but his strength was
fast leaving him. Within two minutes
from the time the shot was fired the
man was dead
Afterwards StahI made the remark
that had the man been experienced IN

PEARS AGAIN IN TROUBLE.
He Is Arrested on Ten Counts for
Selling Liquor.

John Pears, who was convicted on
six liquor counts a fortnight ago, be-
cause his lawyer said, the rats in
Pears restaurant had eaten up all the
evidence was arrested on ten more
counts this morning. Rough" Ready
charged in the same complaint with
night and lodged in the county Jail.
The sheriff's force made the raid on
building at the corner of Seward
and Forest avenues near the Shun-
gangunga creek. The building is said
to belong to Pears while the business
of dispensing liquors was conducted
therein by Ready. A quart bottle of
whisky and 16 one gallon empty bot
ties were taken from the place.
Pears had not been sentenced on
his old counts, hence will be eligible
to bond. Ready it is thought will not
be able to give bond.

NORTH Side NEWS
Is Small Rock Meteor or Only
Nature Fake.
John Tice, Negro, Says He Saw
1t Light?
HIS NARROW ESCAPE.
Claims Stone Fell Very Near
Him.
And Was Hot Enough to Melt
Ice.
HIS NARROW ESCAPE.

rs it a sure enough meteor or only
a nature-f ake?''
This question is being asked by North
siders who have seen a small greyish
stone, which John ,Tice (colored) of
lib Jefferson street, says fell near him
instheF af1ey back Of S27 North Kansas
avenue, about 8 o'clock this morning.
Tice states that the stone narrowly
missed his head and fell into the
ground with the proverbial dull. sick
ening thud," and was so hot that it
melted the ice. This very spot he
shows to those interested in proof that
the rock really fell there. The place
is a sort of a rest room" for the de-
local store. The hole the driver points
to as being made by the meteor is about
five inches in diameter and about three
inches deep. Then he shows the young
rock itself. 1t is about three inches
long and two and one-half inches wide
weighing three-fourths of a pound.
It is smooth on one side and rough
on the other Unlike most of the heav-
emily bodies which have reached the
earth, the alleged heavenly visitor
has other indications of a noncelestial
origin, but Tice persists that he saw
it fall. or rather as soon as it fell.
He is even willing to submit proofs of
Copenhagen, as he brought no Esqui-
mau with him to back up his claims.
He is also willing to swear on a pos
sum hide. or the cross-bone of a chick
en- that what he says is true. And in
justice to him.. he is said to be truth
full and his veracity has never yet been
questioned.
He said that it is true that he saw
that stone just after it fell from the
sky to the ground as it is that Taft
likes 'possum, or that Bryan would run
again for president if forced to it, or
that Topeka needs a drinking water
reform.
1t nearly fell on his head. His rab-
bits foot was all that saved him. He
was driving into the alley and medi-
tating on the high cost of living, the
obstreperousness of the dirty city wa
ter and rejoicing that he lived in a
neighborhood of wells, and also wonder
ing when the comet was going to light
when suddenly he heard a noise like
something hitting the ground. He
thought that one of the baskets had
fallen out of the wagon or that the
present high prices of meat had drop
ped. Tice looked in the direction from
whence the sound came. There he saw
a stone on the ground where no stone

WHY. NOT topeka?
Plans on Foot to Start Convention
Fund.

The first definite action in connec-
ton with the securing of a permanent
convention fund has been taken. Five
hundred circular letters have been sent
out from the Commercial club to the
merchants of the city asking their CO.
operation towards the raising of
$4,000 fund for the purpose of Sc
curing conventions and the entertain
ment of the city's guests while they
are here.
1t was stated at the annual meet
ing of the Commercial club that it was
hoped that such fund could be Sc
cured, on account of the fact that the
merchants and people of Topeka are
beginning to realize that the holding
of conventions In a city which is self
advertising pays, and that Topeka
Kan. Topeka VIII show the delegates
a good city.
The letter which has been sent out
simply states the need for such a fund
the idea being to pave the way for a
second letter, which will set forth a
definite proposition. In the past it
has been comparatively but a few of
have paid the expense of entertaining
the city's guests. but by the new
scheme, it is hoped that every mer-
chant and business man will have a
The following is the communication
sent out to the business men. Secre-
tary Badders says:
do visitors to Topeka ever find
their way into your place of business
If they do, then this communication is
of interest to you.
Rochester, N. Y, entertains nearly
100000 visitors a year and spends 81
each on them; that is, they spend
81, 100000 per year in entertaining
conventions. Denver, Colo, entertains
several millions visitors annually and
spends about 10 cents each on them.
Lincoln, Neb. last year had in their
city nearly 100000 delegates to con-
ventions and spent close to $4,000 en-
tertaining them. Other cities in the
country raise and spend similar
amounts in this way.
Topeka can be made the convention
center of the state. We ought to have
| not less than two conventions a week,
with rs, 900 delegates during the year.
Last year we had about $4,000 visitors
| (not all delegates to conventions) in
| Topeka who left not less than half a
million dollars with our merchants.
The entertainment of these visitors cost
about $1,000, which was paid by the
| Commercial club and about sixty of
our merchants. Every merchant in
the city must have received his pro-
portion Of the trade these visitors
/ brought to Topeka.

chants and individuals should pay the
| entire expenses of entertaining our
visitors. Every business man in town
should do his part"
