Foster
QUIETLY INSPECTED THE POLICEMEN
When They Iid Sot Know It - To This
1 Dae the Discovery of Patrolman
Washburn's Actions Sir. Foster a
Firm Believer In Civil Service Re
form. Homer Washburn, whose misdoing
were described in last evening's Journal
wag dismissed from the police force last
night. He confessed being drunk while
on duty and accepting a bribe.
The man who is responsible for the
detection of Washburn is President
Frank Foster of the police commission.
It was he that found that Washburn was
neglecting his duty and he gave in
structions to Chief Wlllierson to make
an investigation. Chief Wilkeraon found
that President Fosters suspicions were
well founded.
President Foster believes that every
policeman should do his duty and when
he was appointed about the Srsc thing he
did was to make a tour to see whether
the patrolmen were about their business.
The policemen did not know the new
president and he had no trouble in watch
ing them closely without being sus
pected. The result of this trip was the news
of the downfall of Patrolman Washburn.
President Foster heard that AVashburn
had taken money from gamblers, and he
communicated the fact to Chief Wilker
Bon with instructions to run down the
matter. At the next meeting of the com
missioners Charles Dillard, one of the
patties who paid the money, was brought
hem- He loId hI" story, and
when Washburn was accused he con
fessed the crime.
This is only the forerunner to other
actions of the same kind. President
Foster says he is determined to weed out
all patrolmen who are guilty of derelic
tion of duty. He will not condone any
offense.
To a Journal reporter President Fos
ter said: I consider the plan of ap
pointing policemen on the recommenda
tion of some councilman or society as a
reward for political service the most
damnable that could Be devised. There
suit of such a rule Is that in many in

"That is not what the police commis
sion was created for. When the govern
ment of the police department was taken
out of the hands of the mayor and placed
inUhe control of men appointed by the
povernor it was intended that the police
should be made up of men outside the
influence of local politics. That was the
purpose of the law. It is a shame and
disgrace to make the police department
a part of the political machine.
'I favored reducing the clerk hire of
the commissioner of elections, because
he does not need an assistant except just
before the election, and $40 would pay
all the expenses then. I wanted it re
duced to $100, and that amount
would have been ample. This was the
hardest thing in the world for me
to da Such a move would cut cSf
the deputy, Sherman Williams, who is a
personal friend of mine. His supporters
are mine, and personally I would like to
see him keep a position, but my duty to
the public demanded that I vote to cut
him off because he is not needed. It is
diificult for an officer to rise above his
personal feelings in matters of this
kind."
DR. MITCHELL'S REPORT.
It Shows There Were 109 Caasa of Diph
tUnrla in September Hud October.
The report submitted to the city coun
cil last night by City Phvsician Mitchell,
covering a period from May 1, 1895, to
Jaonary 1, 18U6, contains interesting in
formation concerning the epidemic of
contagious diseases which thi3 city ex
perienced during the fall months.
During the eight months covered in
the report, 277 cases of contagious dis
eases were reported. Of this number
174 were diphtheria, 82 scarlet fever and
21 measles.
Of the 174 cases of diphtheria 109
cases occurred during the months of Sep
tember and October, fifty-four occurring
in September and fifty-five in October.
There were thirty-five deaths from
diphtheria, or about 20 per cent of the
total number of cases. (This is what Dr.
Mitchell called a mild outbreak).
Ko deaths occurrod from scarlet fever
or me isles.
On January 1, 1S96, there was but one
case of a contagious nature, diphtheria,
existing in the city.
Since May 1, 1895, 233 births were re
ported, and 313 deaths. There were twice
as many births not reported. During
that time 2,337 sanitary notices were
served on citizens of this "city.

liS A TEARFUL SUBJECT.
The Council Says Horseradish Shall
Be Sold
WITHOUT PAYING A LICEH3E
And It Doesn't Care Who Gets It Up
His BTose Other Council Matters.
The city council had a very serious
question up for discussion last night
Shall the horseradish industry be al
lowed to live in Topeka?"
The council spent an hour considering
the question and settled it by a unani
mous vote in the affirmative.
J. H. Frantz asked the council for per
mission to sell horseradish without being
compelled to pay a license.
There was some question about grant
ing the request and in an instant Col.
Burgess, the stalwart Fourth ward rep
resentative was on his feet.
"Why gentlemen," said he, "is it pos
sible that you would refuse to give this
man a license? It has been the custom
10 allow any man who manufactures
anything in Topeka the right to sell it.
This is an outrage."
"We should foster home enterprises,"
said Councilman Bradford. "If we can
have our own horseradish manufactured
in Topeka there is something gained.
Let us not be parsimonious; let us en
courage home institutions.
Councilman Drew said he did not
think the license ordinance was of much
account anyway, and City Attorney Bird
corroborated him.
It was plain to be seen that the horse
radish industry in Topeka should not be
allowed to die.
If we can't have a woolen mill, a cot
ton mill or a dam, we can have a horse
radish factory to supply the home trade,
and the council did not propose to let
the opportunity slip.
So the council rose up as one man and
voted to allow Mr. Frantz to sell horse
radish of his own manufacture, by the
spoonful or in gallon lots.
FOR TUEIK FATHER.
Ilia Three Children A 1c That Harrison
Kennedy Be R.luauted.
Clifford Kennedy, Blanche Kennedy
and Mabel Kennedy, son and daughters
of Harrison Kennedy, ex-ni?ht watch
man at the Jefferson street fire station,
who was dismissed for failing to respond
on account of drunkenness, petitioned
the council to have their father reinsta
ted. The children say that their father was
not drunk; that he was suffering from a
bad cold and drank some "hot whisky
stews." He then went on duty and fell
asleep. He was reported as being drunk,
and after being suspended sixty days was
discharged. They say: "He is abso
lutely disabled to do work and make a
living for us."
The communication was referred to the
committee on fire department.
TO LIGHT TiiK CITY.
The EdUoD Company Proposes to Fat-In
Now Street Lights.
The Edison Electric Illuminating
company presented a proposition to
place 250 lamps in place to light the
streets in place of those now belonging
to the city. The company agreed to . do
the lighting for $83.25 per light per an
num, or $20,812.50 a year for the entire
city lighting.
The communication was referred to
the committee on lights without action or
debate.
A9K RELIEF.
Property Owners Do Not Wna: Xorth K.au -
as Avenue Widened.
C. L. Haywood and twenty-four others
petitioned the council not to adopt the
report of the appraisers for the condem
nation of a part of the Rol Nichols tract
in North Topeka to widen Kansas ave
nue. The petitioners say that the assess
ment is excessive and that it is not neces
sary to make the improvement now.
The petition was referred to the com
mittee on streets and walks and the re
port of the appraisers was not presented.
Botliaay Park.
The ordinance naming and opening
'Holliday park" at Twelfth and Western
avenues was passed. The ordinance was
amended by striking out the provision
providing for the appointment of park
commissioners because it is said the
council has no right to authorize such
appointments.
Minor Mention.
W. J. Stagg's bill of $75 for making
examination of the books of the county
treasurer was cut in two and he was al
lowed $37.50. He gave "judicial notice"
that he would sue the city.
J. J. Haisch presented a bill for $60.96
for disposing of dead animals. The
amount allowed was $l!3.96.
Councilman Bradford introduced an
ordinance providing that all companies
who have water mains or conduits of

engineer. The ordinance was referred
to the committee on sewers aud water
works.
O. Swanson was allowed $151.67 as

furnishing meals to prisoners at the city
jail.

SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP.
General Guthrie as Strong Opponent of
Cyras Lelsnd.
General W. W. Guthrie, of Atchison,
has written an open letter to Col. D. R.
Anthony denouncing Cy Leland aud
urging the Republicans of Kansas to
turn him down by refusing to send him
to the Republican national convention as
delegate.
General Gnthrie says if Leland wins
in this fight it means that he is to be the
political boss of Kansas in both state
and national politics, and will then be a
candidate for United States senator if he
sees any show of being elected.
GETTING IT BEFORE CONGRESS.
The Initiative and Referendum Leajae
Guts Up a Resolution.
The Kansas referendum league has been
heard from. The following resolu
tion was adopted by the Kansas
league at a meeting Saturday nigh::
"The Initiative and Referendum
league of the state of Kansas, believing
in the principles of self-government,
hereby petition your most honorable
body, as the servants of the people, to ap
point a special committee to inquire into
the feasibility of applying the principle of
direct legislation, through the initia
tive and referendum to the legislation of
the federal government, and report at
this session of congress, by bill or other
wise, the result of their inquiry.
W. H. Bennington, Pres'r.
Ed C Cokning, Sec'y.
The resolution is one of many that are
to be presented to congress with a reso
lution asking for the appointment of a
committee to inquire into the principle
of direct legislation through the initia
tive and referendum. Thomas McEwan,
member of congress from New Jersey,
is to present the resolution.
FITS HUNDRED DOLLARS
Reported, in the Treasury of the State
Temperance Union for Uiw Esforce
Masnli The managers of the State Temperance
union feel encouraged in the work they
have planned because of the liberality
with which the people of Topeka have
responded to appeal for funds to carry
on the work of law enforcement.
During the last thirty days an agent
of the union has raised $500 in cash in
Topeka to start the law enforcement
campaign, and it is expected that at the
meeting today plans will be formed to
make the prohibitory law effective where
it ia now openly violated.
ED HOCH AND HOBHILL.
In the Same Issue He Criticises Morrill He
Hooma Potter.
Ed Hoch in his paper, the Marion Rec
ord, goes after Governor Morrill in "A
Few Remarks" to the extent of four col
umns of double leaded matter on the first
page.
In concluding his remarks he says:
"When the Pop Attorney General Lit
tle, in exemplification of his name, de
clared the laws a failure and incapable of
enforcement, every Republican in the
state denounced him. The same senti
ment is no less reprehensible when psr
eistently uttered by a Republican gov
ernor. "Let us have no moro of this encour
agement of lawlessness. ,
"Let the law be enforced."
Editor Hoch is not only against the re
nomination of Governor Morrill, but he
Srtems to be for the nomination of Tom
Potter of Peabody as his successor. Oa
the editorial page of the same issue of
his paper in which he censures Governor
Morrill, he publishes a column of press
comments on the proposed candidacy of
Mr. Potter, which is taken as an indica
tion that Hoch is for Potter for governor.
NOT SATISFIED WITH POP PART V
But Wants to Hold Fast to Its Declara
tion of Faith.
Judge Cyrns Heren, of Osborne, judge
of the Fifteenth judicial district court,
has written a long letter to Chairman
John W. Breidenthal, of the Populist
state central committee, concerning the
recent letter sent out by Walter N. Allen
advocating the formation of a new party.
Judge Heren favors a conference of
party leaders for the purpose of forming
a union of some kind along reform lrftes
which will not force the party to sacri
fice any of its principles. He says the
members of the Peoples Party are not
willing to sacrifice any of the principles
laid down in the Omaha platform.
Bristow for Harris for Delegate.
Private Secretary 3. L Bristow says he
is for Department Commander J. P. Har
ris of the G. A. R for delegate-at-large
to the Republican national convention.
Mr. Bristow says he is for Harris be
cause he lives in his town. It is under
stood that Commander Harris prefers to
go as a delegate-at-large rather than
from the second district, because the
chances are better and it will aid him in
his ambition to be governor.
Now It's Juskin Who Is Lone'a Opponnat.
Editor J. E. Junkin, of the Sterling
Bulletin, who has been talked about as a
possible caedidate for the Repuolican
nomination for state senator in the 30th
district, is now said to be the man select
ed by one crowd of the Seventh district
Republicans as the man to take the con
gressional nomination away from Chester
L Long.
Ex.GoTprnor Hnmphrey Mentioned.
Ex-Governor Lyman U. Humphrey has
been suggested by the Cherryvalo Re
publican as one of the delegates to the
national convention from the Third dis
trict. The Republican says Montgomery
county has not had any honors of that
kind and is entitled to something this
time.

STABBED BY MRS. CARTER.
Too Mncla Realism in a Serne in "TilP
Heart of Maryland."
New York, Jan. 7. In the third act
of "The Heart of Maryland," being
played at the Herald Square theatre,
the villain is supposed to be stabbed by
the heroine. Last night he was really
stabbed.
In this scene Jack Kellerd, who plays
the villain. Col. Thorpe, a confederate
spy, tries to steal a kiss from Maryland
(Mrs. Leslie Carter) in the presence of
her lover, Col. Kendrick (Maurice Barry
more.) A struggle ensue3 and Mrs.
Carter takes a bayouet used as a candle
stick and stabs Kellerd through the
heart. To prevent accident Kellerd
usually wears a pad over the heart. Last
eight either the pad shifted or he nge
lected to wear it, and when the fake
stabbing took place he felt the cold steel
enter his breast. He turned pale and
fell to the stage. As he 13 suppposed to
do this, the audience applauded what
they thought was an unusually good
piece of acting. The act was cut and
the curtain rung down ahead of time.
Kellerd was taken to his dressingroom.
Dr. S. B. Battie, of No. 124 West Thirty
sixth street, was sent for. He found
that Kellerd had received quite a gash
in the left breast, ju3t over the heart.
The wound was dressed, and he was sent
home in a cab. An understudy finished
his part,
LOTS OF POULTRY.
