of a half hour Mr.. Hunt declared posi-

Hunt had known Kimmel for years before
the latter disappeared. KimmeI boarded
at Hunts home in Omaha for a year. In

intimate friends.

While considerable talk is being
made regarding building new churches
by the Baptist and Christian congrega-
tions, at present no definite plans have
been formed. However, it is not un-
likely that something may be done to-
ward the project this year.
Mr. and Mrs E. Lirsh, who have
been visiting at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. 0. Wolf. left today for their
home in Ashland, o. This was their
first visit in Topeka or Kansas. They
were much pleased at Topeka and sur
prised at the progress and prosperity
of the city and state. Like many other
eastern people, they had thought all
OF Kansas in an unsettled and wild
condition yet.

Commercial Club Committee VIII
Work More Systematically.

The manufacturers committee of the
Commercial club will be reorganized
and the scope of the work of this COM
mittee enlarged so that the committee
may be a big factor in the growth and
development of Topeka. This can be
made the most important of all the
Commercial club committees, said
President J. Will Kelley, land an in
fluential force in the upbuilding of the
city.
Have a representation of lawyers,
bankers and manufacturers on the
committee and get them interested in
getting factories for Topeka and you
can do something.
"a man could be appointed to take
the management of the small factories
which the committee ass1sts-that IS
act as sort of a trustee.
N B. Burge, who is now member
of the committee, suggested that the
committee could recommend certain in
vestments in Topeka, so that the peo-
pie could investigate them
1t is the opinion of the present mem
bers of the committee that statistics
should be gathered relative to all the
manufacturing interests in Topeka, and
that a thorough investigation be made
of their finances. Having this knowl-
edge the committee will be able to give
material aid to new enterprises and
worthy old firms which are in need OF
help. 1t is hoped that a fund can be
raised for the purpose Of aiding fac
tories.

SIGNALS OF VICTORY.
If Laurier Wins, Lights Go Out; if
Borden, They Go Out Twice.

Montreal, Sept 21.-A Montreal
French newspaper has devised a novel
scheme for letting the people of this
city know the result of the election. It
has arranged with the public lighting
company to shut off all lights in the
city at 9 o'clock for an interval of ten
seconds if I4aurier wins and for two in
tervals of ten seconds each if Borden is
the victor.
Inasmuch as more than 80 per cent OF
the houses of Montreal are lighted with
electricity the citizens will be able to
know which way the country goes

LAWYERS NEAR FIGHT.
Marshal Quells Incipient Battle in
City Court.

Except for the prompt interference
of Marshal Tim Donovan, one of the
chapters of John G.. Cooper's matri-
monial troubles would have resulted
in a fist fight this morning among the
lawyers in the court of Topeka. H.
w. Euler of Topeka, and Attorney
Martin of Overlook, were the warning
counsel
Trouble arose when Euler refused
to consent to an indefinite continuance
OF a civil action against Cooper.
Euler had filed suit against Cooper for
$500 worth of legal advice. Twice the
case has been continued. When it
called this morning by J. E. Larimer
judge pro tenn, Martin urged an
other continuance.
While the argument was coming
fast from both sides. Martin said
something in an undertone. His re-
mark was addressed to Euler and the
Topeka lawyer jumped from his chair
with clenched fists. Martin advanced
to meet his opponent and both men
were waiting for an opening when big
Tim Donovan suddenly became a
peacemaker. In something like 20
seconds flat, he quelled the small riot
and the court proceeded with the
business of the day.
Cooper's case was continued until
October 5. At that time, the court
said, both sides must be ready for
trial
