by some man whose name has not been
dlvulged Tor the erection of a two story
building, 65x4O feet in size at the Topeka

ungent upon the raising of 81, 900 to be
added to this amount by the citizens of
Topeka.
It has been eight years since the people
OF Topeka have been asked to contribute
towards a Topeka Industrial institute
1und and it is felt by the management
that on account Of the excellent work this
school of instruction for colored boys and
girls has been doing, it will not be asking,
too much of the citizens of this city to
urge them to contribute the 81, 900 which
is necessary to the erection of the new
building which will be used for industrial
training purposes. campaign will be
waged Immediately.

Chicago, June 29.-WHEAT-With the

tory character, wheat today was inclined
to be rather easy. There were good rains
again in the northwest, and the tempera-

the probable yield in that section appear

influence.

scarce. September opened &c to &c high

Subsequently dispatches about torrid

May EXTEND VIADUCT.
Plans Under Way to Lengthen Bran
ner Street Structure.

1t is probable that the Topeka city
officials and the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa FTe Railway company will get
together on a proposition to build an
extension to the Branner street viaducI.
The extension would be built from the
south end of the main structure south
west to Second street. This would make
the viaduct accessible to streets that
are easily traversed by pedestrians in
wet weather.
The matter came up at a meeting
between the city board Of commission
ers and General Manager Kouns of the
Santa Fe this morning. The city had
planned to build a sidewalk over the
Santa Fe tracks under the viaduct. The
Santa Fe objected saying that the old
agreement made it possible for the
Santa Fe to have full use of the street
beneath the overhead structure.
Then the city and railway officials put
their heads together and worked out
the viaduct extension scheme. The en-
gineers of the Santa Fe and the city
will go over the matter and report the
cost to their respective boards.

BRIDGES ATTACKS SEE.
Following a Reconciliation With His
Daughter, Mildred.

Chicago. June 29.-The most impor-
tant ruling thus far in the trial OF
Evelyn Arthur See was made by Judge
HonOre, when he decided that admls-
sions alleged to have been made by
See, Mildred Bridges and Mona Rees to
the police were not made under duress
and that the testimony of Police Cap
tain Danner and the reporters, who
claim to have heard the confessions Of
morality, is admissible.
Mildren Bridges became recOnciled to
her father, Stephen Bridges in court
late yesterday afternoon and the latter
twice attempted to attack See. The
first attack took place in a corridor
outside the court room when Bridges,
calling the defendant a vile name
attempted to strike him, but was re-
strained by two bailiffs.
The second attempted attack was a
repetition of the first, except that See
disappeared so suddenly that Bridges
had to vent his wrath on the empty air.
The founder of absolute life'' jumped
into a witness room and leaned against
the door with so much fervor that the
bailiffs had difficulty in reaching him
to tell him that Bridges was being held
in another room. Both attacks took
place during recesses.
A half score of letters said to have
been written by See while in Jail to
Mrs. Bridges, mother of Mildred, and
ments, probably will be placed in evil
dence by the prosecution. These letters
are said to ask Mrs. Bridges to instruct
Mildred that all questions put to her IL
court must be answered according to
the truth as that word is understood
by believers in the absolute life"
According to Assistant States Attor-
ney Futhmann, the letters show that
Mildred was carefully coached as to
her replies in court. A handwriting
expert WILL it is said, testify that the
author of the letters and of the Book
of Truth" are the same person-See.
Captain Danner and several reporters
testified that See and the two girls had
admitted that their relations went far
beyond the bounds of conventionality
and morality.
Danner said that See and the girls
when arrested were booked" on
charges usually lodged against women
Of the street only. This. he said. was
because Of the admissions they them
selves made.

COMING BACK TO KANSAS.
Farmers Who Leave for Greencl
Fields Learn Mistake.

Atehison, Kan, June 29.-Many
farmers who sold their possessions in
northeastern Kansas several years ago
and responded to the call of new land
in southern and southwestern states
are returning and buying back their
old homesteads In the south they
encountered drought or peculiar sea-
sons with which they were unfamiliar
and some of them lost nearly all the
money they owned before migrating.
According to the last census re-
turns, many country districts of this
part of the state lost in population
during the last five years, but the
present trend indicates that all that
was lost is about to be regained.

Attorney General Hears Complaint
From Nom Union Agents.

A delegation Of Kansas insurance men
interested Attorney General John Dawson
in their charges against union insurance
companies and the state official will in
vestigate the matter. The insurance
agents had a story to tell about the union
companies trying to put the agents repre-
senting non union companies out of bust
ness a la the Harvester Trust. There are
forty-seven union companies in the state,
according to the evidence Of the insurance
men.
Mr.. Dawson and the state superintend-
ent of insurance had been of the opinion
that antitrust litigation now pending
against the companies would cover this
case, but the insurance men want relief
before July 1, the date when the union
companies new order and schedule go
into effect.
