POLIGEJOJTINGS.
Dance in North Topeka Has an
Exciting Termination.
Invitation List Too Restricted
to Maintain Peace.
"SOUR GRAPES" PARTY
One Is Organized Which Brings
Out the Police.
Oakland Zouaves Caused Some
Excitement Last Night.
A social dance was being enjoyed by
L goodly crowd at the home of Fred
nd Nellie Smith Saturday night when
I crowd or men .wno naa not been invi
ted organized a "sour grapes" party
nd moved on the Smith home.
The sore heads were led by a .Mr.
Chesney, who arrived at the house of
Smith at 1017 North Van Buren and
forcing, himself into the room demand
ed that a young lady there go home
with him. Such accommodation being
refused Chesney proceeded to his trou
ble making. Going outside, where a
number followed, he drew forth a six
Bhooter, told them all where to "head
In" and punctured ( his remarks with
frequent 'shots. ; Attempts to quiet him
were in vain and the party became too I
riotous for the good people, who began
leaving.
At this juncture Officers Walker and
Finkerton appeared and took the men
left, who seem to be those invited and
not those who "butted in." .Those ar
rested and awaiting trial for being
drunk and disorderly are Fred Smith,
Henry Harrison, Dave Wilkerson, Fred
Fisher, J. M. Pendegrast. Warrants
will be issued for the real drunken dis
turbers who escaped.
Section 414 of ordinance No. 2623 of
the automobile chapter is fast becom
lng a byword with autoists. Since Chief
Eaton commenced his crusade against
the unreadable numbers a week ago
there have been over a dozen arrests.
Sunday. Officer Fribance arrested J. R
Burrow for a violation of said 414 and
he was fined S19 in Judge Urmy's court
this morning.
The Dupree brothers. Andy at 312, and
George, at 1007, it is claimed, have been
carefully watching both ends of Kan
sas avenue for, and stopping any
gamblers who might chance to pass
either way. They will be tried this ev
ening before Judge Urmy. H. Zeigman
and two others. Joe -Wless and Nudh
Meadows, are to be tried at the same
time for a. like offense.
A tent pitched in Garfield park by
dike men seemed to the officers on
patrol to be of uncommon Interest to
a bunch of graders Sunday. As a
consequence, an investigation was
started which resulted In the arrest of
Chas. Robinson, John O'Brien. A.
Majors, Jim Lane, Fred Miller, J. W.
Cfrrtis and A , Fowler charged with
gambling. , Some of them complained
that they were broke, one fellow had
dice, and another had money but suffi
cient evidence for conviction was
lacking and all were discharged.
However, Chas. Speedman, a night
watchman, who was arretted with the
same bunch for drunkness was fined
95. Officers Fribance and McGuire
were certain that he was drunk, while
Charles did not tank he had bane
full. The judge delivered the opinion
that men are liable to be mistaken as
to. their condition when they have
been drinking, as Charles admitted he
had.
About he worst jumble of names a
white man may find to deal with were
hauled Into the police station last
night after a raid at Kate Heitman's.
Ausatacio Ballanca, Alphonso Calder
on, Christo Luprez, Paul Jessup,
John P. Rossow and Ferdinand
Chocklock, all of whom bear some
relation to Mexico, and Mary Evans,
a northern brunette, were brought
with Mrs. Hcitman charged with par
taking of her hospitality. The ar
rests wore made by Detectives Hutton
and Sauls and Griffin who have
sources enough for evidence to make
the evening session of police court one
of interest.
Stephen Israel, a young German
tinner, who lives too near the river for
a careful bringing up was arrested
Sunday by Detective Pauls. Steve was
drunk" and very disorderly, quarreling
with somebody, he cannot just remem
ber who. He was fined $10 in court
this morning and admonished never to
get drunk again. This is his third or
fourth offence in the last two months.
The Oakland Zouaves are a'jain
heard from. - Their operations have
been carefuly covered lately but last
night they openly harassed a church
going couple and even stoned a deacon
A Word (roil Out-ef-Toi
Recently the sales superinten
dent of one of the largest, if not
the largest food producing plant
in the world had occasion to visit
our shop. On his return to his
home, he wrote un a personal letter
Trom which we take the liberty to
quote, since it may serve In a meas
ure to indicate what strangers may
think of our humble establishment.
After speaking at length of the
many good things he saw and, of
his kindly reception, he says: "I
trust that your place of business
was thronged with people on
Thursday last as a result of the
very pretty invitation you sent out
to your neighbors to come in
and see 'The Place That is Differ
ent;' and It Is that because the own
ers are different, and the owners
are different because they are orig
inal, and that Is a doctrine I preach
eternally to our representatives, but
then ycu know there are hundreds
of thousands who would rather be
back in the body of the company
shouting, 'I am coming," than at
the head of It as a leader, crying
for those behind to 'Come on.' Of
course it costs some money to do
things 'different,' but unless some
of us do things differently there is
no progress."
Keep your eye on us. we really
feel that w-e are in the "Come On"
class and we are going to try to
stav In the lead.

of the Church of Galilee on Emmett
street.
This organization Is maintained
ostensibly for the purpose of regulat-1
lng the conduct and company of
church going young ladies of the com
munity. The division In question has
headquarters at the grocery and bar
ber shop In the viclniiy of the Galilee
church.
There Is a very attractive young
lady living on Green street who has
charmed a younsr man who lives so
far away as Lake street. It is the
custom of this admirer to call upon
the lady Sunday nights and take her
to the evening service at the church.
Now Lake street is in a foreign
country so far as Green street is con
cerned and anyone from there Is an
invader and therefore liable to pursuit
by the Zouaves. Many times recently
has the lover from Lake street been
direly threatened by word and letter
that he must cease his visits into Gall
lean precincts. Tet he did not heed.
Last night when he entered the
church with his fond friend from Green
street, a band lay outside in waiting
for the end of the service and his
mutilation. As it happened, however,
they boasted of their Intentions and
the proposed victim- was warned to re-
main in the church.
The pastor of
the church himself trave the warning
ana interested himself in the outrage
ous condition of affairs, sending a
deacon to a neighboring house to
phone the police. As the deacon
emerged from the building he was be
sieged with a volley of stones as a
martyr of old. Neverthless, he reach
ed his destination and the gang dis
appeared. Today, the lover iad, his
father, and preferred one. are cam
paigning against their persecutors. A
week ago last night the same gang
went to a house where the couple
were visiting and tried to get the
young man to come' out and take his
penalty. The girl is pretty.
WHITELAW REID TO QUIT
Rumor of Recall of Gay Ambassador
In London.
London, Dec. 21. In diplomatic
circles of London it Is said that
Whitelaw Reid will leave the dip
lomatic service when ' the new ad
ministration comes into power in
Washington. Ambassador Reid has
caused it to be known that he is willing
to continue at his present post, but he
has been unable to obtain any intima
tion from Washington that Mr. Taft
would be pleased to permit him to re
main at the court of St. James.
Society will part with the Reids
reluctantly, and his departure will
be a grievous blow to London trades
men. The ambassador has been an
extravagant entertainer. He set such
a pace in the luxury and splendor of
ambassadorial receptions, dinners,
luncheons and balls that even the
Russian, French and German am
bassadors, who control huge govern
ment sums for purposes of entertain
ment, could not keep up with the am
bassador from America.
A story has reached London from
Washington to the effect that the ex
travagant splendor maintained by
Reid has displeased Mr. Roosevelt and
Mr. Taft. Not only has Reid eclipsed
all preceding ambassadors at the
court of St. James In the magnificent
state with which he maintains the
American embassy. but he has
aroused the enw .of the American am
bassadors at 'other capitals in Europe L
who have been unable to emulate
Reid.
The report from Washington Is that
Mr. Taft has expressed a desire that
the New American ambassador in
London, whoever he may be, shall re
vert to the simplicity and style of liv
ing characteristic of famous American
ambassadors of the past. Diplomatic
circles in London have not yet re
ceived a hint who Reld's successor
will be. He will have to be a mil
lionaire In order to maintain the title
and state characteristic of Dorchester
house.
KIT WRONG MAN.
Voting Negroes In Trouble for Assault
ing Special Delivery Carrier.
Some serious trouble awaits three
young negroes. In their gleesomeness,
they mistook an employe of the gov
ernment for a plain Topeka citizen,
and assaulted him.
Sunday night Courtney Klliott. a
special messenger of ihe Topeka post
office, was riding west, on Huntoon
street on his bicycle, minding his own
business, which at that time was to
deliver a special delivery letter in the
west part cf the city. At the corner
of Lincoln street half a dozen or more
young negroes were having a good
time by means of profanity, loud talk
and insulting passersby. The post
ottice messenger, intent on his busi
ness, paid no attention to them until
they pulled him from his bicycle and
pounded him almost into insensibility.
They were pounding him when Rich
ard Hightower. a colored man who
lives in -hat neighborhood, ran up and
interfered. The toughs immediate'y
attacked Hightower and were pound
ing him when Stephen Paskar, a col
ered sanitary officer, and H. I. Mon
roe, deputy sheriff, arrived on the
scene. The city officer and the county
officers hastily downed the belliger
ents, and arrested three of them
V'C Drain. Wesley Anderson and
"Muck" White. Elliott
the poslofflce !
messenger, was badly bruied but able
to go home. He appeared before the
county attorney 'his morning, and the
th'-ee colored men who had taken his
part were on hand to aid him in secur
ing a warrant for his assailants. They
were charged with assault and battery,
and Elliott was then sent to Unfed
States Attorney West to file another
complaint against the trio on a charge
of interfering with a governmen em
nloye in the discharge of his duty. This
is a serious offense, and the gang is
liable to suffer a penalty beyond the
jurisdiction of the civil court.
From the story told by Elliott and
the colored men who came to his as
sistance, the assault was- wholly un
provoked. DAI.TOX XOT IX IT
Fblse Report Aljont Reproduction of
Coffeyvllle Rnld.
Oorfeyville. Kan.. Dec. 21. A false
report Is current to- the effect that
Emmett Dalton participated In the
reproduction of the famous Dalton raid
here Saturday, when John Tacketr, the
enteroriFlne monaeer of the Audi
torium, had his "band of actors" out
posing for the pictures which are to
'o to make up his original film of the
daring Attack made upon Coffeyvllle
hv the Da'ton boys mmy years aero.
Emmet' Dalton was only a bystander,
invited by Mr. Tackett to witness the
"situations" to see- how near they
came to being correct and to avoid any
exasperations ouch as- eastern fakers
would be sure to interpolate without
the slightest impunity.

. From the Chanute Sun: A. G. Hoag,
a machinist at the Santa Fe round
house, was seriously Injured yesterday
morning in an accident which may cost
him his eyesight. Hoag was working
about an engine in the repair depart
ment when a heavy monkey wrench
fell from . overhead, striking him
squarely in the left eye. The point of
the wrench struck Just over the eyeball
and beneath the frontal bone, com
pressing the former and forcing It par
tially out of the socket. The injury
was Intensely painful and until a care
ful examination had been made by the
company surgeons It was feared that
the eyeball had been burst. The Injury
proved of a less serious nature than
this however, and it Is barely possible
that the sight can be saved. Hoag was
sent to the Santa Fe -hospital at To
peka where there are eye specialists.
