ghoulish glee they indulge in over the
verdict against old Arbuckle, the cof-

he could not enter upon matrimony

In speaking of the burning of Sena
tor Ingalls, house at Atchison, of
which the NEWS gave an account the
other evening, the Patriot says:
The burglar theory is probably cor
rect. All that was saved of the con-
tents was the piano, some pictures and
few chairs, however in damaged con-
dition. The insurance was "a 600 in the
Etna company of Meade's agency. The
insurance is probably one-sixth of the
loss. The house was one of the hand
soonest in the city. While it was orig
inally an inexpensive house. it had
been changed and added to so many
times that its final cost ran into many
thousands. The contents Of the house
were of rare value. The furniture was
very handsome and some of it rare ard
curious The collection of brio
a-brac and other works of art as pro-
badly the finest and most valuable in
Kansas. The library was large and
extensive and covered nearly every
subject. The library itself was a
curiousity, and was known in the
family as Mr.. Ingalls, den" Here
he spent most of his time when at
home. Here also were stored, it is
believed, many valuable papers, public
documents, and manuscripts that can
not be replaced. The senator was APP
prised of the unfortunate circumstance
by wire to-day, and he will probably
return to Atchison at an early date to
arrange for rebuilding. 1t is a fact
we'll known that had not Senator
ingalls, been possessed of a singular
superstition he would have built a
handsome new residence long ago,
but he has always believed in the old
adage that a man who would build a
fine house and move into it to live
would lose some member of his family
by death.

AT a recent meeting of the board of
directors of the Emporia National
Bank, Major c. Hood was elected presi-
dent of that popular and solid financial
institution. He succeeds Senator
Plumb who since his election to the
United States Senate has been unable
to attend to the active duties of the
position which he so ably discharged
prior to that time. AS former vice
president, Major Hood acted in the
Senator's place. 1t was at Senator
Plumb's request that the change
was made. The Majors affable, pleas
ant and gentlemanly way of doing
business, his thorough, prompt and
methodical habits in the dispatch of
all matters requiring his attention, to-
gether with his scrupulous fidelity to
every trust, has popularized him with
the business community, and his cleo
ton to this position viii be generally
accepted as fitting recognition of his
splendid abilities.

Colonel HalloWell, has been very care
ful not to allow such a grand aggrega-
ton Of counts as appeared against
Stewart to be inserted in any indict-
ment- But in the case of Rode TWEEN
ty-six counts were filed in the COM
plant, and this morning his case was
called in the ldistrict court. It was
generally expected that Mr.. Rode would
make a fight in the case, and the
prosecution was not prepared toreceivs
the plea OF guilty when the defendant
entered it, as it is not likely that an
other Stewart episode would be relished
by the prohibitionists. When Mr.
Rode was asked to plead he did so
and surprised the court as well as Colo
mel Jeems by acknowledging his guilt
in each and every count. There was
no alternative for the court, and Judge
Reed was compelled to pass sentence.
He did so, which was that the defend
