W. Stiirges r.f Concur d a in Topeka. Preparing Papers in the Cald- weJl-Moore Contest. SEAT IN THE SENATE. Issue to Be Checked Up to Con test Court. N. A. Yeager Will Try to Proye He Was Elected Judge. Judge K. W. Sturges of Concordia is In Topeka preparing the papers to be filed in the contest case of W. W. Caldwell against William M. Moore for the Job of state senator from the Thirty-second district composed of Cloud and Republic counties. On the face of the returns, Moore was elected by 20 votes, and was given the certifi cate. The method of procedure will be for Mr. Caldwell to file a formal notice on Mr. Moore stating that he expects to contest the election. He will file a similar notice with the secretary of state. "When the legislature convenes, the secretary of state will communicate to the senate the fact that Mr. Moore's seat is contested, and the senate will appoint a committee to take up the case. The contest will involve a re count of all the votes cast in the dis trict ; ." . Judge Sturges said today: "When there about 8.000 votes cast, a. majority of 20 is very small, and there are quite likely to have been enough mistakes in counting ballots to turn the election the other way. We simply say that Mr. Caldwell has a good chance to win on a recount. We think that there may have been a good many railroad votes miscounted, and a good many Caldwell votes thrown out which should nave been counted. We do not charge any fraud, but simply hold that the possi bility of error is so great that a con test is Justifiable. I do not think that Mr. Caldwell is especially anxious to make a contest, but the people of Cloud county will back him in the fight. We think that we ought to have the sena tor from that district if he was legally elected. 'No contest has yet been started by Mr. Caldwell, but I am free to state that I think there may be one in due time. I am here simply posting myself on the forms of procedure in such cases." James Malone, the Democratic member of the house recently elected to represent Rawlins county, is a can didate for the job of "baby of the house" held at the last session by Edgar G. Fisher of Chautauqua .Tampa Malone. Newly Elected Ieino- cratic Member of the legislature From Rawlins County. county, and at the 1905 session by Ed Kerns of Logan county. Malone is said to be 32 years old, which is rather well along in years for anvone to hold the Job to which he aspires. Fisher will not give up the place without a contest. Mr. Malone is in partnership with Peter Wenzel in the ownership of the Beaver Valley Roller Mills at Hern don. They also own an elevator, and are said to be making money hand over fist. Wenzel is the brother of tbe Catholic priest at Herndon, and both Wenzel and Malone are popular and rising young men. It is reported here that N. A. Yea ger of Aususta, Butler county, who was beaten for. judge of the Thirteenth judicial district by G. P. Aikman, the Republican candidate, will contest the election. The official count shows that Yeager was defeated by only 18 votes- This brings to light a peculiar fact concerning Mr. Yeager's political ex perience. Mr. Yeager was a candidate fof the office of county attorney of Butler coun ty some years ago, and was defeated by 15 votes. He was not discouraged. He became the Democratic candidate for representative from Butler county, and was defeated by 19 votes. Thinking that the third time might be the charm he tried to get the job of district Judge, and lost it by only 18 votes. C. H. Brilhart, of Elk county, who was assistant chief clerk of the house at the 1907 session, and chief clerk at the special session of 1908, is in Topeka starting his boom for chief clerk of the house at the coming ses sion. Thus far Mr. Brilhart has no opposition, and the old members of the house will probably line up pretty strongly for him. as he was well liked by everyone. He made an excellent record as chief clerk, and thoroughly understands the duties of the office. HE REMEMBERS THE GIRIjS. Rich Man Leaves a Number of Lega cies to Young Women. Chicago. Nov. 26.

After his recovery he showed his gratitude by sending presents to each of the nurses at Christmas and other times, but none of them expected to be remembered In his will.

Captain Frederick I. Dean, former resident of Kansas and Missouri, died here Tues day. His remains were Interred at Arlington National cemetery today with military honors and the cere mony of the Grand Army of the Re public. In 1857, Captain Dean engaged in newspaper work as city editor of the Daily Express of St. Louis. While in St. Louis he connected himself with the Missouri militia, becoming a mem ber of Company A, Second regiment, Missouri state infantry. In 1860 he went with his company into a brigade of state troops under Brigadier gen eral Bowen, the command proceeding tr the Kansas border, ostensibly to suppress General Lane and Dr. Jami son in their attacks on the borders or Missouri and Kansas. Later he served in the civil war, and finally located in eastern Kansas, where he lived until 1S93. when he came to wa&ningion and since remained. Here he was prominently identified with the Grand Army organization. "What is the Kansas legislature go ng to do this winter?" was asked of Samuel G. Harris or Kansas city; Kan., who is in the city. "Most anything." was the brief and comprehensive reply of the son of the Sunflower state. His reply not being sufficiently elucidating, in his opinion, he added that Representative Mitchell would trv to secure an enactment or law prohibiting the drinking or liquor on railroad trains; "Conductors on trains are very much in favor of a law against drink ing liquor on trains," said Mr. Harris. Thev sav that drinking on tne trains is often the cause of loud and boister ous language, sometimes amounting to the disturbance or tne peace or tne passengers, but the conductors are powerless to prevent it. " I think also tnat Kansas snouin have a law providing for the taxation of inheritances. Taxes upon inherit ances are becoming very general throughout the state, and are provid ing for by nearly all of them." H. M. Johnson, a former Kansas educator; has been appointed super vising principal of the eighth division of the public schools of the District of Columbia. This division comprises eight of the schools in Washington. For seven years Mr. Johnson was connected with the Holton schools, a part of the time being in charge of the high school and four years was superintendent. He was second presi dent of the Northeast Kansas Teach ers' association. He engaged in insti tute work for a. number of years in the state, conducting -" the Jackson county institute the year before com ing to Washington: Kansas postmasters appointed: Homer Follett at Wheeler, Cheyenne county, vice I.

DINNER FOR ALL Provident ' Association, Schools and Churches Make Poor Happy. To the Editor of the State Journal: This is one day of the year when those whose pathway is strewn with many thorns and whose greatest prob lem is to keep the table supplied with the necessaries of life can forget their many heartaches and other aches and "eat, drink and be merry" with the other and larger class of humanity. The Topeka Provident association makes no grand stand play on such a day by a big public dinner, but in a quiet, systematic- way sees to it that every deserving familv in the city is supplied with a large basket fuli of good eatables. The First Christian and Central Congregational churches and the Philo Reading club have greatly assisted by taking several families to care for. Various Sunday school and Bible classes have done the same. Several contributions in cash have been re ceived from individuals to be used in bringing joy to some sad hearthstone. Special mention should be made of the Wanamaker . school, located five miles west of the city, the Seabrook school and the school near the Boys' Industrial school, each of which sent in a large wagon loaded with pump kins, potatoes, apples, canned fruit, fresh meat, live chickens, and clothing to be given to the poor. The teachers of these schools have caught the spirit of the age. that of consideration and thought for our brother in distress, the spirit of the good Samaritan. They are teaching their pupils to become strong, useful citizens, true Americans. May other teachers catch the spirit by next year. Million Turkeys for New York. New York. Nov. 26.

Royce went to Des Moines la., yesterday to spend Thanksgiving day with his mother, who is 74 years of use. Most of the smaller football teams of tne city are playing football todav games being pulled off on almost every corner lot. The city schools are closed until next Monday, and the school population of tne city is enjoying the temporary re lief from books. A new fire alarm box has been in stalled on the east side of Van Bureri street between Sixth and Seventh streets. It is No. 46. Several of the Washburn students whose homes are in nearby towns left last night for their homes and a big Thanksgiving dinner. The Santa Fe ran a special train to Kansas City this morning for the Mis souri-Kansas game. Several hundred people went from Topeka. The state board of railroad commis sioners will next week resume their work of inspecting the Missouri Pacific railway tracks in Kansas.

Deacon, the statis tician for the state board of health. The state convention will be held Dec. 3 in representative hall. A beautiful country town effect was produced when two cement sidewalks were built across Tenth and Jackson sts. to the southeast corner of the state house grounds. When a city has to build sidewalks over its pavements it means that the pavements are inade quate to say the least. There was a big celebration at Wash burn last night. It was not to gain en thusiasm for the football game today but because of the new owl car which the street railway railway is running to the college. It used to be a hard ship for the students to take a 11:30 car back to the college or else make the two mile walk. J. F. Snyder, George E. Joss, George T. Mattingly and David Funston have called a meeting at the Central Park Christian church for Friday night at which all residents on Lincoln and va cinity who are opposed to the change of the name of that street to Burl ingame street as proposed by the spe cial committee of the council, are urged to be present. Inspector Keyes, recently appointed by the mayor and council to take charge of all work of excavating and filling the pavements of the city, is stiU on the lob. After working on the rough places on East Eighth street he has turned his attention to the depres sions on South Kansas avenue where the gas company did a lot or work tnis year laying pipes for gas service. From the beginning Inspector Keyes has made there is hope of a smooth pave ment in Topeka by next summer. It is not likely that the council will take action this winter in the matter of another arch for the Melan bridge, but there is a plan on foot to organize a drainage district for the south side of the river that will take steps to widen the channel of the Kaw at this point. It Is stated that both the Rock Island and the Santa Fe are willing to widen their-' bridges as recommended by the recent report of the war department. Engineer . Rodgers is figuring on a plaa to cut out the banks on the south side without adding another arch. Carnegie Is 71. New York. Nov. 26.
