George Stanley Medlicott, the nely elected county treasurer, has a num
ber of features connected with his history which recommend him to the
story writers as well as the public. It: the ftr-.t rl-iee lie i-s net p na'ive born
American, having been bori :n l.i-bon, Portugal, of Irish parentage and is
ne rarticuiarly proud of the latter fact. He is barely thirty years of age
which makes him the youngest man who has ever been elected treasurer of
Shawnee county. Then again he led his ticket by several hundred and is
conceded to have made one of the best races of the camnaisn. He has lived
with his mother at SO ILineoln street for the past twenty" vears. having come
directly to Tojcki when he left the home of his birth. He has been assist
ant county treasurer for the past four and one-half years and has added to
the efficiency of the force, and his ability to direct the affairs of the office
is not questioned by those who are acquainted with him or know of his ser
vices to the county.
INSPECTION IS FINISHED
President Ripley and Santa Fe Officials
Ilet urn.
A party of the chief officials of the
'Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
company, including E. P. Ripley, its
president, are speeding eastward today
and will arrive in Chicago some time
this afternoon after an extensive trip
cf inspection over the lines of the com
pany in the southwest. The party is
traveling in a special train of six pri
vate cars and passed by, but not
through Topeka last night. The train
went on from Emporia to Kansas City
by way of the cutoff.
James E. Hurley, the general mana
ger of the company, and E.l L. Cope
land, the treasurer, met the party at
La Junta, Col., yesterday, and contin
ued on with them to Chicago.
Mr. Ripley has not been interviewed
much on this trip. The Evening Citi
en of Albuquerque, however, prints the
fkollowing:
Caught on the run. President Ripley
submitted to this very short interview:
'The Associated Press stated a few
days ago. Mr. Ripley, that the com
bined railroads of the United States

had offered to give a raise of 10 per
cent in wages to all their employes in
iieu of a settlement of all the present
uemanos or the employes. Is it
fact?"
"Yes, some fool telegraphed from Los
Angeies quoting me as saying so. The
companies may give their employes a
raise, generally."
The subject seemed to irritate the
"old man," (the railroad men refer to
him so generally), but the impenitra
table mask, which his countenance
wears, gave forth only a slight show
of annoyance.
"It has also been stated that the
reason that the railroads are going to
make this voluntary raise of wages is
that it will serve the purpose of stem
ming the wave of public sentiment,
which has been going over the country,
against high freight rates and alleged
rate discriminations?"
"Nonesense: thereis nothing in it."
With that Mr. Ripley made an in
quiry of tho hotel clerk and then gave
himself over to the general discussion
of things pertaining to the Santa Fe.
He said that the journey westward had
been an interesting one. The western
country interested him he said that he
grew up with it and had watched its
gradual development into the great
country it is today.
He said that the Beler cutoff was
nearlng completion fast. Through lo
cal service will be put on it by January
1 or shortly after. For the first sev
eral months the road will be given over
almost exclusively to freight traffic. The
heavy freight trains will settle the
trad:.
In the party with Mr. Riplev were J.
W. Kendrick. the second vice president;
George T. Nicholson, second vice pres
ident; W. B. Jans.en. fourth vice presi
dent: Gardner Lathrop, general solici
tor; M. Rice, general storekeeper;
J. E. Gorman, freight traffic manager:
W. E. Hodges. general purchasing
agent; James Dun, consulting engineer,
and W. B. Storey, chief engineer.
Imagined Herself RIcli Is Crazy.
Amy Brown, an old colored woman
living east of Parkdale, was adjudged
insane in probate court this morning.
She is laboring under the impression
that she is immensely wealthy, owning
property on Tenth avenue and other
portions of the city, and that whit-s
folks are robbing her of her rights.

The SeTere Storm Greatly De
layed Traffic.
THE SNOW IS MELTING.
Did Little Damage to Tracks or
lioadbed.
Snow Plows IJrought Out Early
From Retirement.
Passenger and freight traffic on the
lines of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific, the Atchison, Tcpeka & Santa Fe
and the Union Pacific, which iadiate
from Topeka, has assumed its norma!
condition within the past 18 hours, and
with the exception of a few transconti
nental trains from the west, the sche
dules are being maintained today ac
cording to the time cards.
The snow which has prevailed during
the last couple of days throughout the
western portions of the state and to the
southwest is rapidly disappearing ac
cording to the reports received at the
general offices of the railroad compan
ies here, and this snow did little or no
damage to the tracks of the railroads,
except to blockade them in many locali
ties and thereby delay the through
trains. These blockades have been lift
ed during the last li hours with snow
plows and the warm sun of yesterday
afternoon and today has done much
more to clear the snow from the tracks.
On the Rock Island lines the snow
storm of the last two days delayed traf
fic most on the El Paso division from
Pratt, Kan., clear down to Santa Rosa,
N. M., tho worst conditions prevailing
between Bucklln, Kan., and Dalhart.Tex.,
where a wind of thirty miles an hour
prevailed during the snow storms and
packed the cuts along the line with solid
drifts of snow. these drifts have been
broken and trains are now running reg
ularly along the line. The Rock Island
also experienced considerable, inconven
ience along the Choctaw division, with
its terminus at Memphis, Tenn.
There was no snow in this section, but
some unusually heavy rains, which re
sulted in a number of washouts and
slides, put sections of this line out of
commission for the time ' being. All of
these breaks have been repaired and the
line is in operation today.
Reports received at the Santa Fe offices
today were to the effect that the snow
storms in the west and in the southwest
had done little or no damage to the tracks
of the road and had merely hindered the
service by the delaying of trains, because
of drifts find slippery tracks. During the
last twenty-four hours conditions had im
proved greatly and the trams were run
ning about on time today. A similar state
of affairs was reported from the Union
Pacific offices.
1TIED MITCHELL WILL SPEAK.
Old Y. M. C. A. Worker to Be Here on
Sunday Afternoon.
Next Sunday afternoon Fred G.
Mitchell, for years religious work di
rector of the Central Y. M. C. A., but
now a missionary to the Navajo In
dians, will be the speaker at Gemmell
hall, in the association building. The
meeting will be at the customary
hour, 3:45.
Mr. Mitchell is well known in To
peka and it ia expected that many will
take the opportunity to meet him
again. For some time, past he has
been in Kansas City taking treatment
in an effort to recover from injuries
received in a runaway accident that
almost cost him his life. His spine re
ceived a racking that has made him
unable to pursue his chosen work
among the Indians, owing to the fact
that he cannot ride horseback to get
around, so he is taking a period of en
forced rest, and in the meantime re
ducing the Navajo language to a writ
ten form to aid him in learning it and
preaching to the people.
Mr. Mitchell will also lead the Sun
day morning meeting at 8:30 in the Y.
M. C. A. parlor.

A Landlord, His Wife and a Mexican
the Interested Parties.
Iola, Kan., Nov. 22. A Mexican whose
name could not be learned took two
shots at a boarding housekeeper on
North Fourth street yesterday. tne
wife cf the landlord snot once at me
Mexican and the proprietor threw a
rock at the Mexican which hit him in
the forehead, cutting a deep gash from
which blood flowed freely. It was the
only injury inflicted out of four shots
and one throw.
The Mexican had been boarding at
the place but ,.ht proprietor told him
he would have to find another boarding
house. In the warning " the Mexican
went down town presumably to look
after a new place to board, but return
ed at noon witnout having found one.
The proprietor told him to leave, but
as the Mexican iiai loaded up on .bad
whisky he concluded it wasn't time to
leave. The proprietor threw his truck
out of the door and then the Mexican
fired three times either at him or in the
air. The wife of the man fired one
shot and the proprietor ended matters
by felling the assailant with a brick.
No arieut were made.

At

Pressure Is Insufficient.
Gas
Fort Scott, Kan., Nov. 22. There Is
considerable complaint that the Ivy
school is not properly htited. The other
day it was necessary to dismiss the
classes because of the coltl weather and
the lack of heat. This is due largely
to the condition of the building, it is
thought, rather than the insufficiency
of gas.
At the high school Janitor Al Mna?
has commenced to burn coal altogether.
He says the gas was hardly strong
enough at times to insure the building
being kept comfortably warm and he
has lighted up the coal furnaces.

San Francisco Mayor Has Vot Heard of
Ills Indictment.
New Vork, Nov. 22. Mayor Schmltz
of San Francisco, who has been Indict
ed in that city for extortion, and who
sailed from Hamburg on November 10
on the Patricia, will probably arrive
here late this afternoon.
It is said that out of consideration
for Mrs. Schmitz. who is traveling with
her husband, Francis J. Heney and
Dietrirt Attorney Langdon of San
Francisco will spare the mayor the hu
miliation of arrest on his arrival.
Schmitz does not know that he his
been indicted, the findings of the grand
jury having been made while the Pa
tricia was in midocean. As the Patri
cia is not equipped with wireless teic
graph, the first news Schmltz will have V
of his indictment will probablv be fr'n
the newspapers taken aboard th
steamer by the pilot at Sandy iicon.
