1T WAS ALL A JOKE
COP Brought in Dark Skinned Woman
Before bridegroom.

Leo Horacek and Miss Clara Miller
were married Friday night at the hall
of the Sons of Herman by the Rev
Herbert ]. Corwine. 1t was one OF the
several local weddings delayed when
Uncle Sam needed men on the border
last spring. Horacek is a member OF
the Second Regiment band and re-
turned to Topeka only last week. The
bride is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Charles Miller of 3O1 Western avenue
After the ceremony had been per-
formed and while friends were extend
ing congratulations, the guests We're
astonished by the appearance of Pa
trolman Wonderly and fashionably
dressed, dark-skinned woman.
Friends said Wonderly, Il am
sorry to break in upon such apparent
happiness, but this woman says she
is the wife of Leo Horacek; that she
was. married to him while he was on
the border"
He produced a document of some
character and called it a license.
ut is my duty" he continued, ito
arrest Leo Horacek on the charge of
bigamy."
Before the bride had a chance to
faint, the Rev Mr.. Corwine pleaded
with the officer and eventually every
one mbled to the fact that it was all
a practical joke.

SERBS DRIVE ON REFUGEES ESCAPE
Credited With New Advance
Towards MOnastir Goal.
British Claim New Victories in
Ancre Offensive.

Paris, Nov 1S.-The allied advance
toward Monastir continues. The
French official statement today cred
tied the Serbian troops in this theatre
of the war with capturing 500 meters
of trenches from the Teuton defenders
and the taking of height 1912, north
west of Iven, with bloody losses to the
BulgarianS and Germans.
The French made progress in the
direction of Monastir reaching the out
skirts of Kanena.
The advance about Monastir is be-
ing made despite heavy floods, it was
stated.
The statement also detailed an easy
repulse by hand grenades of strong
enemy detachment which attempted to
reach French trenches at Biaches. Six
German aeroplanes were brought
down in air fights.
Advance More on Ancre.
London, Nov. 1S.-Further British
advances north of Beaumonthamel

ported by General Sir Douglas Haig

north Ypres he detailed a successful
raid by his forces of a German re-
doubt, wherein a number of prisoners
and a machine gun were captured.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Nov. 1s.-wHEAT-Downwa
swings continued in the wheat market to-
day influenced a good deal by the fact
that foreign purchasing had apparently
ceased. enewed gossip. about a possible
embargo on food stuffs tended also to
handicap the bulls. Reports of unfavor-
able weather in Argentina acted only as an
offset in part Opening prices which
ranged from the same yesterdays finish
to Use lower with December at $1.211a to
S1.S2 and May at $1.S6% to S1.S7A. were
followed by a material setback all around
and then something of a rally.
Subsequently rains in the southern half
of Argentina brought about fresh decline.
The close was heavy, 2s4c to &c net lower,
with December at SITS to $1-7sA and May
at $1.S3as to S1.S4.
CORN-Prospects of rain in Argentina
tended to weaken corn. Besides, there were
liberal offerings to arrive from Iowa. After
opening &c to lac lower, prices continued
to sag.
No important rallies took place. The
close was weak at 15sc to 17sc net decline
OATS-Oats gave way with other cereals.
About the only buying was on standing
orders.
PROvISIONS-Provisi lacked sup
port A decline in Liverpool lard quota
tions counted against the buying side.

ATTACK PAPER PRICES
Federation of Labor to Urge Ferret
ing Out Conspiracies.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 1S.-Dele-
gates to the American Federation of
Labor convention probably will launch
a movement to help the newspapers
thruout the country at one of its early
sessions. This help. naturally, will be
indirect, as the first aim of the feder-
alton is to help its own members.
The cost of news print paper, it is
pointed out, has advanced in price
since the first of the year from 100
per cent to, in some quantities, nearly
500 per cent.
This condition has brought about 81
reduction in the number of employees
in departments under the jurisdiction
of the international union represented
in the Allied Printing Tradt associa-
ton, and the American Federation of
Labor is asked to urge immediate and
thoro investigation by the department
of justice thru federal grand juries in
the larger cities in the United States
for the purpose of obtaining evidence
Of alleged illegal conspiracies.

FARM MACHINERY UP
ALI to Begin "Aviating' January Il
Also More Cash Down.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Farmers face
heavy increase in the prices of farm
implements, threshers and tractors,
effective the first of the year. This
became practically certain at the an
nual meeting of the manufacturers of
the farm machinery, now in session
here.
The system of long term payments
will probably be done away with, it
was learned, and what amounts to
cash prices-9O per cent down-may
be demanded. Big crop prices and
the new rural credits system make it
possible for the farmer to comply with
these changes, delegates said. They
cited increased cost of materials as
the reason for the proposed advance.
Talk Price in Closed Session.
The delegates went into secret ses-
sion. 1t was learned that most of the
delegates agreed advanced cost of ma
terials made higher prices for farm
machinery necessary.
Delegates denied a formal agree
ment was made or would be made to
increase prices, saying attorneys for
the companies had warned them that
this would violate the Sherman anti
trust law.

Five ParraI Americans Ride Is
Days Thru Mountains.
Mining Engineers Run Gaunt-
let of Bandits and Indians.

Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 1S.-After ride
of fifteen days over the widest part
of the Sierra Madre thru a re-
gion infested by savage Yaqui In
dams, five Americans who fled for
their lives from Parra1 before the at
tack of Villa on the town, reached
Culiacan, Sinaloa, on the west coast
of Mexico, late yesterday. In a mes
sage from T. G. Hawkins, Superinten-
dent of the Alvarado mines in the Par
raj district, the news came during the
night to the offices of the mining COM
pany here.
Numerous reports of massacre and
lack of Information for two weeks had
stirred anxiety on the border. Upon
receipt of the message last night tele-
grams were dispatched at once to anx-
ious relatives and friends of the five
men. The message from Hawkins said
simply:
I'VE arrived here safely today"
Travel 200 Miles Horseback
At the offices of the mining COM
pany here it was assumed Hawkins
meant only the five American en-
ployes of the Alvarado company. They
were T. G. Hawkins, A. W. Morris,
Howard Graves, Leslie Webb and Ber-
nard Mcdonald. OF the rate of the
other five Americans in Parra1 who
did not leave with the A1varado men,
nothing is yet known.
To reach Culiacan, the little party
had to travel on horseback more than
200 miles across the highest part of
the backbone of the continent and
thru part of the country INFESTED by
barbarous Yaquis. All were mounted
and armed in anticipation of such an
emergency. Some of the men are min
ing engineers and eastern college men.
Their journey must have been one
of incredible hardship and danger"
said an official of the Alvarado Mining
and Milling company, here today. Il
! is expected that the five will proceed
to the coast of Mazatlau and come
north by sea-

WEEDS ARE DEAD
But Still e. A Austin and City Quarrel
Over Ordinance.

The county loaned it's title to E. A.
Austin today, in an application for a
temporary injunction against the city
of Topeka and E A. Campbell county
treasurer, to enjoin the enforcement
of the weed ordinance the APP
plication was filed in the district court.
The city commissioners passed an
ordinance providing for the levy of a
special assessment upon vacant lots
to nav the cost of cutting the weeds,
on such property. The levy was made
last summer and under the law must
be collected by E. A. Campbell, coun-
tv treasurer. If the property owner
fail to pay the tax by the goth of this
month, a penalty will be added and II
the tax is not paid at all the property
will be sold for delinquent taxes.
E. A. Austin is agent for lots on
College avenue from which the weeds
were cut by the city and the special
assessment to pay for the cutting has
been levied
Mr. Austin attacks the ordinance
He declares in his application that the
ordinance is void, that the special as
sessment is void, that it was enacted
contrary to law, that the special as
sessment is exorbitant, that the city
commissioners passed the ordinance
without authority and that it was
passed without notice to the property
owners.
The special assessment levied in
Topeka beca use of the new ordinance,
for the year 1916, amounts to ST.
4O7 so, according to Mr.. Austin He
states that the actual amount paid
out by the city for cutting weeds un-
der the ordinance this year was only
$900.15.
Even at that, says Mr.. Austin, the
city charged up more than the actual
cost of the weed cutting He charges
hat of cutting weeds
each single lot was so cents and that
the city charged 81 for it.
The application, after citing these
reasons, asks that the court hold the
ordinance to be null and void and that
it restrain the city commissioners and
the county treas ger from collecting
the special assessment
The application was filed in the
name Of W. E. Atehison, county at
torney.

Not Deadlock.
For this reason, the Americans will

the past has proven efficacious and
probably will be successful this time,
it is believed here.
The administration is far from con-

The situation is such, tho, that the
administration is anxious to come to

of the conference has never been
overlooked and military plans have
been made accordingly but on the
whole, administration men believe
that the conference will be forced into
satisfactory conclusion.

discovered his wife was dying on re-
turning home after having been called

The threatening letter received by
Mcdaniel a week before the murder
the statement declared, was exhibited
and shown at every opportunity IN
order to have it understood when the
murder was accomplished, that
threatening letters had been received.
The theories that a burglar might
have killed Mrs. Mcdaniel or that she
was slain by some one Tor spite
against her husband were secuted by
Mr.. Lockwood.
The testimony will show that at
1890 O'Clock to 1O:45 that night ter

speaker declared, land the evidence

BORDER FEUD FATAL
United States Regular Held for killing
of Guard in 'Red Light" District.

Ell Paso. Tex, Nov. 1s.-William
Carr of Pittsburg, private in the Eigh-
teenth Pennsylvania National Guard,
was shot and killed in a brawl here
last night between guardsmen and
regulars in which many shots were
exchanged. John Sanderson, of the
Fifth field artillery, regulars, is held
by the military police. Many others
have been placed under arrest by the
provost guard.
The brawl occurred downtown in the
segregated district and is believed to
be the result of a feud between the
guardsmen and regulars
