WORK NEARLY DONE.

Dr. Lincoln McConnell, Who lias Ac
cepted the Pastorate of the First
Baptist Church.
Dr. McConnell is a southerner by
birth and has always been possessed
with a great amount of energy which
has been spent in various spheres of
work. His past experience in dealing
in affairs of the world and his contact . an attorney for the insurance compan
wlth the varied men and women who i ! sai,j the insurance comnanies had
The November term of the United
States circuit court will probably ad
journ late this afternoon. If Judge
Pollock so decides, the remaining cases
on the docket will be carried over to
an adjourned session in Topeka in Jan
uary. It is also probable that some
of the cases on the docket for trial at
the Kansas City term will be brought
to Topeka, as the new postofflce build
ing in that city is not completed.
When Judge Pollock made up the
court calendar Monday morning, he
docketed cases only up to the close of
the Friday session. With the disposal
of the work today, the court session Is
completed in so far as the calendar is
concerned. There is no worked sche
duled for Saturday and the trial of
the Perkins cases next week is very
questionable, in fact lawyers who have
watched the progress of these suits,
say they will not be reached until the
January session In . Topeka.
George J. Barker, of Lawrence, one of
the attorneys for the' plaintiffs In the
eleven suits now pending, was In To
peka Thursday afternoon. He said his
visit to Topeka was hot connected with
the rumored motions in the . Perkins
cases, but that other matters brought
him to town. Mr. Satlfer advanced the
following theory why th cases should
be carried over'the November term:
"The defense "has been taking depo
sitions for nearly 70 days." said the
Lawrence lawyer, "and we have been
following along for the purpose of'cross
examination and are Just now . making
arrangements to takefa few depositions
of our own. .In the first place, service
in these depositions does not cease un
til December 15, and It will require all
of that time to complete the work.
"Depositions have been taken in al
most every part of the country. Re
cently lawyers in the case made a trip
to - Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Chicago.
New York, Buffalo and Springfield.
Mass., as well as to many western cit
ies and towns m Kansas.' The nature
of the deposition by the defense seems
to be to show that Perkins did not own
sufficient property to warrant him car
rying the amount of Insurance he had
at the time he was kilted. On the oth
er hand, we contend that the carrying
of life insurance does not constitute a
debt and that Perkins could carry all
the insurance he saw fit."
The attorneys for the defense seem
anxious for an early trial and if court
does not adjourn today, will probably
ask for trial at this term. J. S. Dean,
go to make up the population of our
great country fit him for coping with all
phases of the church work. ,
He is an eloquent speaker, and one
of the local Methodist ministers
made this remark to a mem
ber of the Baptist church: "If you
get Dr. McConnell as a preacher, you
will get a Jewel. Dr. F. L. Loveland,
on account of his eloquence has been
been ready for trial for six months and
were anxious to' have the cases dispos
ed of. - -
"It will require two weeks or more
to try these cases." said Mr. Dean, "and
we are very anxious to get at them
as we think the plaintiffs have had
plenty of time In which to prepare for
trial."
Tuesday afternoon a Jury was lm
First Methodist church, and if Dr. Mc
Connell comes here I predict that there
will be a sharp race between the two
men as to which one Is able to draw
the largest number of nonmembers."
Dr. McConnell will occupy the pulpit

alleges that these men damaged his rep
utation by arresting and detaining htm

descriptions the men held did not fit

session and is being argued this after
noon. Both sides were given 25 min
utes in which to review their testimony.
Judge Pollock convened court at 9
o'clock this morning and the afternoon
session opened at 1:30.

The Morehouse Diamonds will stand comparison with any jewels In
The Morehouse prices for Diamonds will stand a similar comparison.
Diamond purchasers will find in the Morehouse stock, the purest,
, whitest, truest stones obtainable. . - ' .
The lady or the gentleman who receives a Morehouse Diamond as a -Christmas
gift may feel assured of the true value of it.
Now Folks, Here's a Heart to Heart Talk; It's Business, But of Interest to You
No jeweler In Topeka or Kansas City or Wichita or Emporia can buy
diamonds a penny cheaper than we can.
Now. the price you pay for diamonds depends upon the expense the
dealer incurs. Rent on the avenue is higher than at 510 East Fourth.
We sweep our own store and work late at night.
WE DO SELL AT A SMALLER PROFIT
Our patrons get the benefit of the low prices.
, You realize the difference now.
If you are expecting to buy diamonds for Christmas Gifts, we invite
you to look at the Morehouse Diamonds. It's worth your while.

Reduction in Pullman Rates Nearly All
' " . That W as. Asked.
The four attorneys general for the
states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas
and Indiana who declined to accept the
i proposed reduction of 20 per cent in
! upper berths offered by the Pullman
I company at the Chicago hearing this
i week are explaining the refusal to the
I people at home. John Dawson, who
represented Kansas in this case. cam
! home today, and he declared that the
j reduction offered suited him and his
state, but that the others were not sat
ified and that as the case was brought
! jointly by the four states he would
j stick with the others and see it
through. It was. the strength of th
i union that brought forth the compro
mise offer, argued Dawson, and it was
only right to follow the example set
by the railroads in so many seccussful
cases and get a proposition that suited
everybody.
The proposed reduction affected To
peka as follows: Topeka to Chicago,
: upper berth reduced from $3 to $2.40.
Dawson asked for 12.50.. .
Topeka to Fort "Worth, upper reduced
from $3.50 to $2.80, Dawson asked for
i $2.50.
