BOTH MUST FACE JURY.
Mrs. Evans and Stamey Held on Sc
riouS Charges.

Mrs. d. E. Evans and G. ". Stamey
were bound over to the district court
for trial on both the charges of arson
and attempt to defraud an insurance
company at their preliminary hearing
before Matt Campbell, judge pro tenn.
of the city court last evening.
Hearing which has been postponed
from time to time on account of the
condition of Mrs. Evans, and was ex-
pected to take place yesterday morn
ing, was again continued until after
noon because doctors who had exam
ined her failed to appear with re-
port. Mrs. Evans maintained her
state of semi-coma and sat, during
the hearing, with eyes riveted on the
floor, apparently hearing nothing.
County Physician D. T. Nicol1 and DR..
c. B. Van Horn, who composed the
examining committee were unable to
enlighten the county attorney in re-
gard to her sensibilities and Mr..
Schenck, took the responsibility of
stating that she knew what was going
on. The court allowed the hearing
to proceed.
Testimony taken was in effect a re-
cital of the known facts of the insur-
ance of furniture at 906 Buchanan
street for $4,000 by Mrs. Evans, it's
subsequent removal to the Bates
house at 1929 Laurel avenue, and the
burning of the house and the claim
of insurance. 1t was also shown that
Stamey had hauled the valuable fur
niture out of the house before the
fire and stored it. He is alleged to
have substituted some old sofas, an
old grand piano and some chairs to
make a showing of furniture having
been in the house when inspectors
should examine the ruins.
Bonds of the couple were fixed at
$1,000 each on the charge of arson
and $500 each on the charge of at
tempting to obtain money under false
pretenses. Neither of the prisoners
were able to furnish the amount or
obtain security and will remain in
the county Jail.

For Mayor.

The commission form of government
may do away with all old time politics
and policies but the candidates running
for office this spring are forming some
of the prettiest combinations and
clicks that have ever been known
in the history of Topeka city politics.
During the last week, there have
been at least four combinations formed
among the candidates. In some cases
these combinations are weak and will
cut little ice in the campaign. The
very fact that there are some candi-
dates in a click spoil the chances
for the rest.
The men running for office have it
figured out this way. If they can get
two or three men in their Click they
will start out on their personal cam
paign. No. 1 commences his meek to
neck talk. The victim in the course
of the conversation will ask him VINO

2. No. and No. are really the strong
and capable men,
1t is just simply a case of trading
man works for three or four men when
he campaigns instead of one man.
There is one combination of note. 1t is
composed of the insurgents" against
the administration and they are doing
great work. Their territory covers
most of the First, Second and Third
wards and they are making hot1oOu
campaigns.
The scheme is a general one among
the candidates and it is but question
- a short time until practically all of
them will "tie up in some candidate
rust. The candidates who show the
best form and display the best chances
of gaining a place on the first ticket
are especially valuable to the combina-
tions and are in demand.
First and Second Ward Hub.
The First and Second wards continue
to be the political bee hives of the city
and the hub from which all hopes and
aspirations radiate. 1t seems that all
of the campaigners turn their atten-
tion to these wards and the field has

a politician or a book agent.
1t is well known fact that the First
and Second wards have decided and
turned many an election. On the other
hand the candidates who have had
stronghold in these sections have lost
out in other parts of the city
For instance. last year Mayor Green
lost out in practically every precinct

the rest of the city he won out with
