Looking out before he shut the door

CASE OF BADDERS
1t Is Set for Hearing in WASH
ingtOn February 81.
Illness of Chief Justice White
May Cause Delay.

Chief Justice White of the supreme
court of the United States is sick and
that fact may delay the hearing of
the criminal case pending against
George s. Badders, former president
of the BadderS Clothing company. The
hearing is set for February 21. Fol-
lowing the appeal of the Badders case
Fred Robertson, United States district
attorney, filed a motion to dismiss,
which was denied. If it is possible
to hold the hearing on the date set
either D. R. Hite of Topeka or J. H.
Hardness of Kansas City, both of
whom represent Badders, will go to
washington. The criminal charge
against Badders is that of using the
mails in the furtherance of a scheme
to defraud.
The bankruptcy case against
George S. BadderS now being heard
in Kansas City is against Badders
personally The involuntary bank
rnptey proceedings originally heard
were against the Badders Clothing
company of which Badders was presi-
dent. The present personal proceed
ings are also involuntary and Bad
ders is contending that he is not a
bankrupt. Federal officials here are
wondering what will happen if Bad
ders is able to prove that he is not
bankrupt; or whether he will attempt
to show that he has private funds

ruptcy against the Badders Clothing

IN DEBT 100000
Topeka Must Tuck Away $780,
900 a Year Until 1888.
Commissioner WATSON Points
Out Indebtedness.

Exclusive of paving, water and sew
er bonds Topeka is in the hole to the
extent of over half million dollars.
The bonded Indebtedness, exclusive of
the above is $500, 312.41 and it will be
necessary to stow away in the sinking
fund $4,000 a year for seventeen
years in order to meet it.
That is Topeka's financial standing
according to figures worked out today
by w. H. WATSON, commissioner of
finance BY laying away $4,000 a
year until 1882 the city will be able to
get out of debt. That is, the city
proper There will still be the water
works, paving and sewer bonds. The
waterworkS has bonded indebtedness
of 100000 but will take care of it's
own troubles, exclusive of the city
proper. The paving and sewer bonds
will also be taken care of through an
other source; through the taxation of
citizens whose property is affected.
Heretofore the city has been putting
between $4,000 and $4,000 in the
sinking fund each year but the ante
will have to be raised to 100000

MISS WOOSTER TO RUN
SaIina Woman Announces Candidacy
for State Superintendent.

Kansas Republicans will have an
opportunity to vote for a woman for
state office in the August primaries.
Miss Lizzie E Wooster of Salina has
announced her candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for superintend-
ent of public instruction and will make
a fight for the nomination.
In her campaign, Miss Wooster will
argue from the angle that the position
of state superintendent is the only
state job to which a woman may aspire
with hopes of success. OF the $4,000
Kansas school teachers, 10000 are
women. So, she argues, why shouldn't
a woman have the job? Further. she
points out that the present superin-
tendent is seeking a third term.
Miss Wooster has been active in
school work for q number of years
She is the author of a number of well
known school texts and is widely
known in the state. In Topeka today
she stated that she would make an
active campaign for the nomination.

your digestive organs assimilate the fat

What is needed is a means of gently

stomach and intestines to absorb the oils

blood, where they may reach the starved,
shrunken, rundown tissues and build
them up. The thin persons body is like
a dry sponge-eager and hungry for the
fatty materials of which it is being de
canal to take them from the food. A
splendid way of working to overcome this
sinful waste of flesh building elements

POLICE WANT
MORE MONEY
They Ask for an Increase of SIS
per Month.
Mayor House Would Grant the
Request, but Can't.
M pRnNISlnM IN RlIDGET
NO PROVISION IN BUDGET
Will See That They Are Re-
membered This Year.
Advance Will Be Checked Up to
His Successor.

There is a movement on among the
policemen and friends of the police
men to bring about a five-dollar-per-
month increase in police salaries. The
movement has reached the city hall
but for the present it will have to stop
where it is. There can be no increase
this year for the simple reason that the
budget for the police department,
made up last year, does not provide
sufficient money.
1.-THE police ought to have more
money" said Mayor J. E. House, this
morning. "They are underpaid. I ex
pect them TO get more money but L
imagine that about the best L can do
will be to arrange a buget and leave
matters in such shape at the end of
my term that my successor can grant
the increase"
Poor Old Policemen.
Policemen receive SIS a month and
out of that must buy their uniforms,
overcoats and other clothing required
by the police regulations. They are on
duty twelve hours a day and half of
the time work at night. Since the
double platoon system went into effect
in the fire department the firemen
have all the best of the policemen.
They are on duty twelve hours a day
but the greater portion of that time
they are at headquarters where it is

TWO MORE GUILTY
Fifty of Night Riders Gang Re-
main To Be Tried.
Detective Says Land Owners
Hired Him to Get Evidence.

New Madrid, Jan. 21.-John Elder
and Dick Gamble today were convicted
of participation in a night rider at
tack on NJ. R. Atkinson, a land owner
living near Gideon, Mo. Fifty alleged
night riders remain to be tried.
Scott Corr, a detective, was the chief
witness when the trials were resumed
today. He said that he had been en-
ployed by several wealthy land own
ers to get evidence against the night
riders. He told of the attack on him
self and five other detectives last No
vember.
The presiding judge today ruled that
the defense could introduce testimony
to show that the alleged night riders
were members of - labor union. but
that the prosecution could introduce
evidence to show that the union was
an unlawful organization.

warm and dry. The first class firemen
receive $50 month, just what the
police are asking for.
Five dollars more each month
would just about buy the clothes 1
must have as a policeman, said a To-
peka patrolman today.
Mayor House will have the oppor-
tunity to fix the police budget for next
year even though he should not serve
another term and his present attitude
indicates that he will provide in that
budget for an increase in the salaries
of Topeka policemen.
