new DEAL CANDIDATES.
School Board Reform Petitions Will
Be Ready to File Tonight.

1t is expected that the petitions which
the women are circulating which call
for a new deal in the board of educa
ton will have had the required num-
Der of signatures attached to them by
night-560 on each petition. The mass
meeting which the women are planning
has been postponed until the latter part
of the month, not long prior to the
next monthly meeting of the school
board.
There are two reasons for this delay.
One is in order that it will be posi-
BILE to secure able speakers. and the
other is so that the action taken and
the things said at the big mass meet
ing will be fresh in the minds of the
members of the board of education
when the next meeting is held.
At the mass meeting the views of the
womer in regard to the needed changes
which they believe should be made in
the present system employed in our
schools will ne set forth clearly. 1t is
expected that this meeting also will be
teeming with surprises. Following arc

the school board: First ward, Chas. E.

WHEAT IS DAMAGED.
Secretary Smiley Says 1t Is Material
in Eastern Section.

The report of the wheat conditions
over the state as submitted before the
annual. meeting of the Kansas Grain
Dealers association shows the wheat
to be in much worse condition than
had been anticipated. For this reason
the report was not given out to the
newspapers for publication.
AT the meeting held in Kansas
City" said Secretary E. J. Smiley to-
day, reports from the dealers in at
tendance from the eastern third of the
state showed the wheat to be material
ly damaged; likewise the central por-
ton of the state, and reports from the
west showed that there has been some
damage done.
at was the general consensus of
opinion, however, that it is yet too
early to determine the extent of the
damage.
1.-The representatives of the railroads
present at the gathering of grain deal
ers promised TO give special attention
to the elevators during the germinat-
ing season in order to avoid loss
through deterioration in quality after
arrival.
''In the past there has been much
complaint of loss on account of de-
/ layed reinspection. The dealers are
asked to be prompt to report any case
place at the terminal markets to
! which the grain is shipped. The asso-
citation demanded that the Kansas City

topeka people who own diamonds
are shaking hands with themselves,
ana Well they may as the accompany
ing articles, taken from a recent issue
or the State Journal would indicate.
The last decade has seen a won
derfully increased demand for the
brilliant stones, said Mr.. Thomas of
the Santa Fe Watch Co., this morn
ing. Even people of moderate cir
pie find that it is no difficult matter
to pay dollar or two of each weeks
salary on stone: they are allowed
to wear the diamond while paying
Tor 1t and soon it is paid for and the
money is never missed A
number of the largest and most re-
putable concerns in the country have
adopted this easy payment plan and
it is probably, in no small way, re-
spons1ble for the increased demand
Mr.. Thomas also states that, AL
though the wholesale cost is consid-
erably increased, there will be no in
crease in prices at The Santa F'e
Watch Co., for several weeks at least,
as large stock had been purchased
in anticipation of the increase
Right now it would seem, there is
some real money to be made on dia-
monds. A purchase now on the pay
ment plan, really amounts to nothing
more than an option, which would
| cost the purchaser a dollar a week
until the advance reaches a high
enough stage to net the investor a
handsome profit.

all OF Topeka's dealers but will be

A jury in the district court awarded
$4,000 damages 10 Mrs. Stella B. Mar
pie, widow of NJ. S. Marble, who was
killed September 10. 1908, by a north
bound street car While crossing the
tracks at Kansas avenue and Laurent
street, North Topeka.
The jury spent the working hours OF
two days in arriving at a verdict The
company attorneys. Ferry, Doran &
Magaw had spent most of the two pre-
vious days in attempts to keep the jury
from having a hand in the case. On
three separate occasions on practically
the same argument they sought to have
the case disposed of before the jury
could get a chance in the awarding OF
damages. First they demurred upon
the opening statement of E. D. Mckee

ton had been overruled by the court
and the plaintiffs evidence heard. they

P0STPONED TEARS

A Topeka woman recently attended q
fearful drama at which her friends
wept copiously. She shed no tear at
the theater, or on the way home. How
ever, some time after she had retired
her sister who slept in the same room
heard her sobbing.
whats the matter?'' she asked
81 am crying about that play" was
the reply. IT didn't like to show emo
ton in public but it was all 1 could 90
to keep tears back until now-boo-
hoo" and she made up for lost time.
A Topeka husband always carries the
key to the back door with him when he
is out late at nights, so that his wife
may retire with front and back doors
locked. It's a substitute for a night
lock.
