The Grand Piano Is the
Musician's Cherished Ideal Possession
Here is presented the opportunity to give a lasting delight
this Christmas at an incommensurately small out lay.
What music loving wife or daughter is there who
does not secretly or openly cherish the fond hope that
she will one day possess a grand piano. It is a tacit ac
knowledgement that to have such an instrument in the
home is the Ultima Tlmle of musical delight.
Tmrtossible of fruition as this desire might have
been a few years ago, two things have happened to
bring fulfillment within reach of many a family today. First, the development of
the KRANICH & tBACH GRAND piano, second, the advent of the GUILD holi
day terms. The one has admitted the grand piano into the household from which
space conditions would have formerly barred it. The other makes it possible so to
regulate the purchase price no mean sum as to make the slightest possible de
mand on the Christmas purse, while insuring an immediate possession of the piano
with the first payment and so it comes that you can have sent home to your family
for Christmas day
The Beautiful Kranich & Bach Grand
for only $25 of Your Christmas Money
The balance to be paid in easy monthly sums ,after the burden of -holiday buy
ing is past. . .
The KRANICH & BACH GRAND is a magnificent instrument from every
point of view. It is the. most artistic product of the most honored concern in Amer
ica. From the creation of the first piano, more than half a century ago, every in
strument'coming from the Kranich & Bach factory has been the finest that brains
and skill could produce.
Of all the "little grands" that have followed in its steps, not one approaches
the Kranich- &Baeh miniature grand in purity and sweetness of tone, with its won
derful power and volume.
Nor is any other so exquisite in its lines of architecture.
And only $25 is required to place it in your home for Christmas.
We have provided an exceptionally fine group of delightful pianos for the holi
days. And of these others to which the Special Holiday Terms apply as follows:

MAY LOSE HOMESTEADS.
Lands Bearing Coal Deposits Can Not
Receive Final Titles.
. Washington. Dec. 21. Thousands of
settles on western public lands, will
have trouble in completing their
claims in the United States general
land office. Many of them, through
no fault or neglect of their own. will
lose their farms entirely, together with
the improvements they have made on
them. The reason for-this situation is
found in the recent classification by
the government geologists of large
areas of public lairds as coal lands.
Lands which contain deposits of coal,
and which are classified as coal lands,
under the law can not be entered as
homesteads. Settlers occupying ' such
land, having not completed their titles,
will be denied final papers.
This surprising information is con
tained in a paper submitted to the na
tional conservation commission by
Timothy J. Butler of Kansas of the
law division of the general land office.
Mr. Butler's paper, which has the ap
proval of Commissioner Dennet of the
land office, will be made a pare of the
Inventory of the natural resources of
the country, which is to be included in
a report to be sent to the president
early in January by the conservation
commission.
Mr. Butler explains that under the
present law it is not necessary that the
coal despot on public lands be of
sufficient quantity and of merchant
able quality to render the land more
valuable for coal than for other pur
poses in order to make it not subject
to entry under the homestead or other
agricultural laws. But. he says. If the
land contains a deposit of coal possess
ing a commercial value, it is sufficient
to prevent agricultural entry.
At the present time there are pend
ing before the general land office,, ac
cording to Mr. Butler, approximately
5.000 homestead entries in support of
which final proof has been submitted
and which embrace lands fhat have
been' classified by the geological sur
vey as coal lands. It is estimated that
there Is an equal number of home
stead entries where proof has not been
made which will come under the coal
land classification.
In an Interview with the correspond
ent of the State Journal, Mr. Butler
said:
. "While the Issuance of patents pro
tects the Interests of the individual in
his improvements upon the land, his
right to the use of the land and the
coal it contains, unless fraud is shown,
still the fact remains that the govern
ment has divested itself of all title to
or Interest in or control over the valu
able deposits of coal which underlie
the patented land. In neither of these
Instances can the settler be charged
with actual knowledge of the coal
character of the lands which he has
selected. There are no outward ap
pearances upon the land or in the im
mediate vicinity which would charge
one not a geologist or without consid
erable knowledge of "geological forma
tion with the knowledge of the pres
ence of coal upon such lands.
"The settlers have gone upon the
land innocently, without intention of
violating the law. in pursuance of the
natural homemaking Instincts, and
after having performed all that the
government requires of them under
the homestead law. the government
has found itself unable to protect them
In their rights to their improvements
and to the use of the surface of the
land, as there is no provision of law
whereby a title to the surface of the
land may be granted without granting
title to all that lies beneath the sur
face. "When the government parts with
title to the land, as the law now
stands, the private parties may con
duct their operations in such manner
as they see fit, even to exhausting the
deposit. They may operate their mines
In such manner as to take out only the
heart of the vein, while large quantl
tities of coal possessing utility are
either permitted to remain in the
ground or to waste upon the dump at
the mine opening.
"It is a fact of common knowledge
that under present conditions this
great natural resources is simply a
subject of speculation, dependent upon
the present exigency of opportunity for
financial gain and with no concern for
the future."

POLICE RELIEF.
Society Organized in Topeka With
Clilcf Eaton President.
Since the siege of sickness at the police
station and the unfortunate circumstances
surrounding many of the officers in the
Topeka police department Chief R. W.
Eaton has started a Relief Association for
the benefit of his men and men on the
forces to come. An organization called
the "Policemen's Relief Association" was
started Saturday eveninjc with the follow
ing officers:
President. Chief of Police R. W. Eaton;
secretary. Sergeant T. J. Kenney; treas
urer. City Treasurer Miles M. Hale.
This association was organized for the
benefit of the members of the Topeka po
lice department. Only regularly commis
sioned men assigned to police duty within
the cltv of Topeka shall participate in the
benefits of this association. It is for the
purpose of assisting any member of the
department who, in the regular discharge
of his duties shall suffer physical injuries
resulting in the total or partial disability
which may prevent him from supporting
himself or family.
The relief association Is planning to re
ceive contributions from many sources. A
souvenir book is beinK printed which will
net the association about $200. The sou
venir book contains the nhotographs and
ihstory of offices and life of the police
department. It will be put on sale as soon
as it is finished. All of the proceeds go
toward the maintaining of the Policemen's
Relief association.
All of the sales of unclaimed property
shall go into the- treasury of the associa
tion. This Includes bicycles, and any
articles picked up by the police and not
claimed. The sale of unclaimed animals
do not come under this head.
It is expected that the city council will
make an annual donation to the fund and
this will be made a resrular relief for the
officers.

Chicago, Dec. 21. The American wife
of George Ah-Wong, a Chinese restau
ran proprietor of Piano, used desperate
and partly successful means of ending
the lives of herself and four children
early today. She gave her four chil
dren wood alcohol and one of them.
Ida, 3 years old, she stabbed. Ida died
today, and the mother said by the coro
ner to have been temporarily insane
after drinking some of the poison,
threw herself under a Burlington rail
road train. Her mangled body was
found shortly afterward. Further
search led to the discovery of the dead
child and her suffering but not fatally
drugged brothers and sisters. This
note was found: "Thank God it is over.
It was horrible. I can't go on with the
rest, but no one will lead my girl the
life of misery I nave led. I shall not
depend on the poison. The way must
be sure."
"I can't go on" is supposed to have
referred to her Inability to undergo the
horror of executing all her children as
she had little Ida.
Mrs. Ah Wong is said to have been
the daughter of reputable Chicago parents.
TEST HUNTERS' LAW.
Attorney General Sues Wyandotte
' Clerk to Recover Fees.
Attorney General Fred S. Jackson filed
mandamus proceedings in the supreme
court asainst F. M. Holcomb, county clerk
of Wyandotte county, today for the pur
pose of compelling that official to turn
$1,028.25 collected as fees for hunting
licenses over to the state. There has been
a Question In the minds of the county
clerks of the state since the hunting
license law went into effect as to -whether
the state is entitled to the entire sum col
lected. Many of them have held that as the Issu
ing a license consumes considerable time
which must be supplied by the county
clerk that the office is entitled to a fee
of 25 cents for services. Although the
matter has been thoroughly discussed at
various times no action has been taken
by the clerks to bring about a test case,
unless the refusal of the county clerk of
Wyandotte county can be so construed.
A meetine of the county clerks of the
state was held at Hutchinson last week
and considerable secret work and dis
cussion was indulged In by the members
of the oreanization and it may be that the
action of Mr. Holcomb is taken for the
purpose of bringing about a test case.
The fees which are collected for hunting
licenses are turned Into the state treasury
and used to defray the expenses of the
state game warden and his department. .
SOLD BAD EGGS.
Farmer Pleads Guilty and Receives a
Fine.
The first case in which the pure food in
spectors have gone after a farmer for
niacin bad egKS on the market has been
filed in Nemaha county where Inspector
Harry Bell caused the arrest of a well
known farmer of that county on the
charee of bringing old esgs to town and
sellinsr them to retail dealers. The farmer
appeared in court and pleaded guilty to
the- charge and was assessed a fine and
costs. Heretofore It has always been tire
custom to ro after the dealer as being
responsible for ..the placing of bad egss
on the market but in this case the farmer
who sold the e?gs in the first place was
deemed the more culpable person.
The new bond proposition suggested
by City Attorney Drenning not long ago
has fallen through. The plan of the
city attorney was to pay off the new
$40,000 bonds recently authorized with
in the next ten years and thus save the
interest that piles up every year.
The matter has never received the
consideration of the council and never
will. Councilman Jordan was radically
In favor of the matter and intended1 to
bring it up before the council but he
has been disappointed by the recent re
port of the city treasurer and the non
support of his fellow councilmen. Coun
cilman Stanley was also in favor of the
bond Issue suggested by the city attor
ney but he received the same reception
as Mr. Jordan.
Naturally, there are two sides to the
question one that the immediate pay
ment of the $40,000 bonds will make the
interests of the city more business
like and decrease the interest payments
co the electric fight plant. The other
that the city has thousands of dollars
of outstanding bonds at the present
time and they are running at a higher
rate of interest. The city would save
money by paying off the older bonds.
The city attorney says that if the
bonds of the new electric light plant are
allowed to run for 20 years the plant
will in reality cost $75,000 instead of
$40,000 on account of the rate on inter
est. Mr. Drenning is right in one re
spect but his theory should be broad
ened. If Jim Dumps bought a cow for
$50 and did not pay for it until the in
terest had necessitated a deposit of $75
before the cow was his, it is not a
sign that the cow had increased in
value. The cow has really decreased
in value. The: pedigree of the animal
would not be flavored by the statement
that she had cost the .owner $75 when
she was on the market for $50.The elec
tric light plant will cost $40,000 wheth
er it is paid for tomorrow night or in
20 years. This argument does nof-hold
very much water. . ' '
Brainless Says Drenning.
When seen by a State Journal repor
ter this morning Mr. Drenning was dis
gusted with the actions of the city
council in passing over his proposition.
He said:
"The present city council is practical
ly brainless. They will spend days and
nights fighting ove'-.little OW street
naming proposition and when it comes
to paying $25,000 they will tarn up their
noses and pass it by. They don't pay
enough attention to the real vital is
sues of the city."
, There is undoubtedly a little differ
ence of opinion between the city coun
cil and their legal adyisor. Mr. Dren
ning said that he has given up trying
to tell them of the necessities of the
city and decided that he would let them
take their own course and see where
they would end.
Mayor Green is against the ten-year
payment as supported by the city at
torney. He said this morning that the
people of the city rose up in rebellion
a few years ago when he and Council
man Horn suggested an increase of 1
mill in the taxes. The purpose of this
raise was to meet the; oncoming bonds
of the city and put into the regular
sinking fund. The mayor was optimis
tic as to the outcome of the bonds.. He
said that at the present, time the city
by a slight assessment can meet the
1910 bonds and pay off part of them.
It is the plan of the city to pay as
much of the bonds as possible when
they come due and refund the remain
ing amounts. In this manner, after an
extra levy or so. the city will be able
to pay off all of the outstanding bonds.
It would be impossible to pay off the
bonds at this time. The city could not
do it under the provisions of the law.
But they are required to pay a certain
amount enough to meet the bonds in
a few years and pay enough of them
to cut down the yearly drain.
However the bonds have been sent
to the printers, engravers and all the
necessary arrangements have been
made to issue them in due form. In
other words the city has issued $40,
000 worth of bonds to construct a new
electric light plant and at a rate of
4J4 per cent for 20 years. If there
is a loss on account of refunding or
otherwise it is in accordance with the
custom of the city and nothing can
change them .
An adjourned meeting of the city
council is scheduled for tonight at 7:30.
There is considerable business left over
from the last meeting together with the
new business and the reports of four
important commitees. The street nam
ing question comes up again and it is
the fondest hopes of the councilmen
that this will be the final appearance
of the useless fight. They have decided
that if the people of the city of Topeka
do not want the names of their streets
changed and if they desire to enjoy th
unlimited and disagreeable tangle, it is
up to them. It is unnecessary to say
that the people In the city as a whole
are desirous of changing the names
and straightening the atngle. But the
people who desire this, stay at home
and sit around their fireplaces while
the kickers go to council meeting and
influence the "gallery speakers" and
others who have no vital interest.
A good evmple of the fight the peo
ple in the southwest part of the city
are putting up is an instance that hap
pened in the mayor's office this morn
ing. A resident of the ever trouble
some Douthitt avenue came in the of
fice a ndcommenced talking about the
street naming question as It looked to
the people living out there.
"By the way, Mr. Mayor," he said,
"what is the idea in changing the
names of those streets?"
Mayor Green explained that it was
Tor the purpose of extending the cut
off streets and making the system legi
ble to people who had something else to
do besides live there. He told the resi
dent that It was was for the good of
the city that Fifteenth and Sixteenth
streets be extended . .on through and
that theparallel streets' in the remain
ing part of the city be slraightened.
The interested resident looked puzzled
for a minute and then said:
"Oh, well, that's different. Vv e
thought you wanted to change it Just
to satisfy your change of mind, vve
did not know that it would complete
the street naming system. We thought

This resident expressed the sentiment
of the majority of the residents. In
fact they do not know of the real pur
pose of the council in- changing the
street names. As Councilman Tandy
said this morning:'
"Every argument proposed by th
kickers at the last meeting of the coun
cil was thin. They had a very scant
idea of the good the council was do
ing." It is an admitted fact that if some of
the people whefpprove of the plans by
the street naming committee would
come to council meeting instead' of all
the kickers the sentiment would be
changed quickly. As an addition it
might change the ideas of the "gallery
Whatever happens the whole matter
will receive a final blow tonight. After
this evening the council will have
nothing to do with the matter. It is a
case of future good or future trouble
for the city at large.
The council will take up the proposi
tion of paving Tenth street between
Kansas avenue and Jackson. This
block was left out of the original reso
lution and is a bad mistake because it
leaves this block a detriment to the
good paving in this district. It is un
doubtedly the worst piece of terra
flrma in the city. The old car barn
cobble stones have caused many an
auto to groan with agony and as far
as the looks are concerned the least
said the better.
Since the long scarey article in the
State Journal concerning the prob
able penalty affixed to the ordinance
requiring physicians to report births
to the city physician, the births have
been coming into the sanitary ser
geant thick and fast It looks as
though a prosperous period and an
advance in posterity has suddenly ap
peared above the horizon. There were
nine births at the office this morning
when the reporter made his rounds.
The lucky parents are Mr. and Mrs. C.
L Benton, 2401 Buchanan, a boy;
Mr. and Mrs. Perry Law, 615 Morse,

The assistant city engineer was over
on the St. John street macadam this
morning measuring up the thickness
and amount of Rochester gravel
dumped on this driveway not long
ago. The city is under-the impres
sion that the contractors came with
underloaded wagons and the sub
scribers deny it. If all Is satisfactory
the council will allow the necessary
money tonight but if not, there will
be another squabble on hand. Nothing
dull in the life of a city official.
Four building permits today. To
Frank M. Welton for a frame car
penter shop at 1634; Harrison to cost
$200. To C. E. Jewell for a new glass
front on business building at 518
Kansas avenue, the same to cost
$1,000. To William Brown for a
frame dwelling at 601 Topeka avenue
to cost $4,000.
Automobile licenses are coming in as
fast as the numbers can be made. This
morning Jonathan Thomas took out No.
210 for an electric. His daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Charles Brooks Thomas, took out
211 for another electric. The electrics are
takincr the city by storm. They are get
ting ready for the new city electric liKht
plant where a "chanter" will be installed
and conducted at cost.
This fine weather is a boon to the street
force. Street Commissioner Snyder has
every man on his force working overtime,
giving the city a final house cleaning be
fore the winter sets in. The pavement
contractors are working their men to the
limit finishing up their contracts Delore
they take up others and the general city
conditions are being improved. A few
more days like this and the North To
peka dikes will look like a mountain ridge
in the northern sky.
City Engineer John P. Rodgors finished
up the cross sectioning of the Soldier
creek bridge on Central avenue Saturday
evening. The new bridge to be placed at
this crossing will be of the latest and
most modern construction and will be
without the inverted trusses which have
been servins: a dam ever since the con
struction of the old bridge. The old style
plank floor will be a thing of the past.
The Central avenue paving will extend
right over the bridtse. The bridge paving
system is bound to save the city and
county money as the constant renewing
of planks costs a small fortune.

Columbian building who wai struck
by a street car at the corner of Sixth
avenue and Lincoln street Sunday
morning, has been removed from the
hospital to the home of relatives at
