NOT A GOOD BILL.

The distance between the bill this
week and last week at the Novelty is
too great to be measured by miles. It
is drop that takes ones breath
away Last week was one of the best
shows that has ever been seen at the
theater; this week is one of the poor
est.
With the exception of Mantell's
Marionettes, the whole bill is a bore.
Grace Armand, featured SO proni-
nently as the Liz of Vaudeville" is
decidedly ,middlescla Moreover, she
commits the vital sin of cracking a
joke that was cracked a couple of
weeks before on the self-same stage.

Republican voters were present and
an enthusiastic meeting was held
After considerable discussion, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
THAT we, the Republican League of
Illinois Township, pledge ourselves to
work and vote for the election of Will
liam Howard Taft and to make every
effort to see that the tried and true
Republicans of Kansas have an OPP
p ortunity to so express themselves at
the election in November. But we
hereby declare that no Republican is
under any obligation whatever to sup
p ort by his voice or vote any candi-
date who is not an avowed supporter
of the Chicago nominee, William How
ard Taft. and we further declare that
we consider it our duty to rid the
party of the aforementioned political
hypocrites'' A meeting of the club will
be held each Friday evening until the
election.

HANGED HERSELF.
Mrs. Margaret Traps Mind Affected
by Ill Health.

Suspended by piece of clothes line the
Ifeless body of Mrs. Margaret c. Trapr,
aged 81 was found late Tuesday after
noon in an upper room at sos East Fourth
street. M. E. Laycock, justice OF the
peace and acting coroner, who was sulre-
moned, pronounced it case of suleIde,
and stated that no inquest would be
necessary.
The body was cold when found by Mr..
Minnie Henry, who lives in front flat
In the same building, and evidently the
deed had been committed eight or ten
hours previously. "A lady came to IN
quire about room that Mrs Trapp had
to rent said Mrs. Henry who discovered
the body. Her knocking at the door
brought forth no response so she came II
me to make inquiries as to the where
abouts of Mrs. Trap. The result was
that discovered the body.
When I first saw her." said W. H.
Wilt of the police force who was called
Immediately, IT found that she had tied
rope around the hinge of door. Her
feet were on the floor; in fact she was
almost sitting down-she must have
strangled.''
Nobody had ever head Mrs. Trap ex-
press desire to kill herself, and no rea-
son could be given for the act except that
she was in i'll health She has been in
i'll health ever since she was removed
from Chicago hospital two years ago.
Charles Trap the only surviving menu
Der of her family, was summoned to tina
scene of the tragedy Immediately. Mrs
Traps husband died in 1873. Her body
was taken to Leavenworth today.

WATCH THE CHIMNEYS
Gas Makes Them CFumble and In
creaseS Danger of Fire.

Persons whob urn coal this season
in place of gas should have all CHM
ney flues carefully examined" is the
warning of Charles E. Eldridge, state
insurance inspector.
The experience in the Indiana gas
field years ago,1 said Mr.. Eldridge,
disclosed that the chemical action Of
natural gas on the old style lime NOR
tar used in the erection of chimneys,
so disintegrated the same as t.
create cracks and openings in flues.
where sparks from the kindling and
burning out of SCOT in chimneys caus-
ed many fires Many of the Topeka
homes were constructed years ago,
when chimneys were built with lime
mortar. Today the use of cement
mortar. Today the use of cement NOR
tar is more prevalent, and possibly
not so affected. However, it seems
to me that it WOULD be a wise pre-
caution to haves chimney flues thor
oughly examiped before firing up your
heating STOVES and furnaces for the
winter. AN ounce of precaution is
worth a pound of cure :"
