GOV. DENEEN EXPLAINS
His Public Utilities Bill Differs From
the RawIelgh Measure.

Springfield, Ill, March Clover
nor Deneen has explained that the ad-
ministration public utility bill which
is to be introduced in the legislature
tomorrow, will differ from the Raw
leigh measure, which was submitted
two weeks ago in some particulars.
The new bill does not provide spe-
cial legal machinery for the admin
istration OF the public service COM
mission. IT makes no provision for
perpetual franchises and does not
mention municipal ownership. Gov
ernor Deneen said that he believed
will be restored by such
a body and that the University of
Illinois already had much apparatus
which the state need not duplicate.

Rev. Robert Norris newly elected vice

week, both in the sessions of the State
Temperance convention ard before the
governor with his declarations that he
has bought liquor in 40 places in To-
Deka. He charges Mayor Billiard with
failure to enforce the prohibitory law
and he says he is working in conjunc-
ton with County Attorney Simon. The
records in the state auditors Office show
that Rev. Mr.. Norris has not been
working for glory alone or for the high
cause He has drawn many vouchers
on the contin gent fund OF the governor.

against Topeka.

days in October they spent about $50
for beer and whisky in Wichita and
bought much of this beer in houses of
i'll repute and treated the girls in these
houses and tipped them and paid them

The Rev. EIr. Norris and LasurB's ex-
pensc account for October totals over
$50. They spent most of this money IN
Wichita On October IL Norris made
the trip from Topeka to Wichita and
bought nine bottles of beer that even

whisky and spent a dollar on tips.
Frank Las1re accompanied the Rev.

The Rev. Mr.. Norris voucher reads

You ask why there are three types
OF decorations for the Yuletide? That
is an easy question to answer. 1t
isn't generally known=but here is the
secret. The Christmas trees are for
the children. The mistletoe is for the
young people and the lovers. The
holly is for the elders.
1t is foolish to explain the application
of this Tule-but here goes anyway. The
children like the trees because they are
The old persons like the holly because it
is quiet dignified manner of observing
outwardly the holiday season. And the
young people like the mistletoe because
because-well because it gives them a
license to kiss-that'S all
The Christmas trees coming to Topeka
this week are shipped from the south
and from around the Great Lakes. Some
of the finest specimens come from near
the Green mountains. The Great Lakes
trees are of the larger variety and still
smell of the mist from the Michigan, the
Erie and the Ontario. The trees are the
several years and the prices vary from a
quarter to five dollars.
The holly is coming packed in immense
boxes. Some of it from Louisiana and
the south and the rest from it's old resid-
ing place in Delaware. The Delaware
holly is the best and sells at higher
price than that from the south. Holly
is selling by the wreath and in weight.
Dealers say the quality this year is not as
good as in some years but it is better
than last year. The branches are well
laden with bright red berries.

place, Prof F. W. Blackmar, admins
traitor of the estate of Governor Robin
son, told of the life Of Mrs. Robinson and
of her labors for Kansas. Professor
Rlackmar read extracts from her diary
and told of the estate that she had been
left by her mother, some $4,000, which
she at first intended for a girls dormi-
tory at the University of Kansas, but
later gave to Belchertown, Mass, for
town hall. Her object in doing this, he
said. was to perpetuate the family name,

which appear often. 1t is indeed poor year when

Portable balance to his credit in the bank; all of
which should teach not to take calamity predic-
lions too seriously.
No doubt Topeka viii some day lose natural gas,
but that day long time off, and while there may
be a few days each winter when the supply will not
equal the demand, whole the service will con-

ment everybody may enjoy the benefits OF natural
gas for good many years to come
We have always advised against depending entire
ly upon gas; if the supply were unlimited, no
one foreteH when accidents may happen, and
then you should be prepared to use some other fuel
with little delay and inconvenience as possible
Ii stoves used for heating at least one OF them
should be of the combination pattern which will
allow coal wood to be used without any change
being necessary. If you use furance we can equip
it with improved style of burner which does not
require the removal of the coal CRATES, and when
it might be desired to burn COAL the gas burn
ers can be removd in less than minute, without
tools of any kind And they are just as easily re-
placed when you want to resume burning An
other feature of this burner is that it is more
economical than other burner Of which we know,
and it can be used equally well in hot air. steam

We have installed great many of these burners
and they are giving universal satisfaction IL you

MRS. COPE OUSTED
Mrs. Beggs Succeeds Her in National
Women's Home Missionary Society

Bv the action of the business COM
mittee of the official board of the Ma
tional Women's Home Missionary soci-
ety, Carrie E Cope was officially GUS
ted from the leadership of the Kansas
Missionary society and succeeded by
Mrs. S. A Beggs, of 1434 Topeka ave
nue. Mrs. Beggs' office is, however, sub
ject to limitations. The operations OF
the missionary society are tied hand
and foot by injuncti1Cs and court or
ders and for six months it has been I'M
possible for the president of the society
to do any official business without an
order from Judge Dana.
The official ousting of Mrs. Cope, VINO

Cd David H. Moore and Mrs. George
o. Robinson, is recognized by Topeka
church workers as merely another move
for position in the fight which will fol-

which was in session this week in the

ted that the order of removal came
from the business committee of the Of
fetal board, acting for the national so
ciety. OF this business committee, Mrs.
George 0. Robinson is chairman.
Statements made today by Topeka
women who are interested in the mis-
sionary troubles, were to the effect that
the society had been idle for sometime
and that Mrs Cope has not shown the
proper enthusiasm in the work. For
this reason Mrs. Beggs was recommend
ed to the national committee as the
proper person to take over the affairs
of the Kansas society
At the present time, the warning fac
lions Of the Methodist missionary so
cieties are more eager in the outcome
of the half dozen lawsuits than in who
succeeds to the presidency of either OF
the societies. Both the Cope society
and the unincorportaed society headed
by Mrs. Edwin Locke, are bound and
gagged by court orders and each is
made party defendant in actions in the

WEEKLY MARKET SUMMARY.
Market Shows Heaviness and Weak
Spots as Congress Meets.

New York, Dec. 9.-The assembling OF
congress and the maintenance of relative
ly high money rates restricted speculation
in stocks for the long account this week,
and the market showed continual heavi-
ness. Bear operators made successful at
lacks, which lowered securities which
We're effected by reports that reorganiza-
ton of the finances of the corpora tons
concerned would be necessary. In two
instances-those of the Wabash and
llis-Chalmers-such action was decided
upon and the resultant weakness of the
securities directly affected was not with
out sympathetic influence upon the whole
market.
1t had been expected that call money
rates would relax after the first of this
month and the conclusion of the Decem-
