A County Seat War.

TOPEKA, Kan, September 12.-Bitter
feeling between the citizens of Ravenna
and Eminence over the unsettled county
seat question was renewed yesterday
by the removal by w. T. Williams, Treas
ufer, of the county records of his office from
Ravenna to Eminence. A guard of Ra-
VIENNA citizens was detailed to watch the
Treasury to prevent this removal. Yes.
terday the guards attended the Judicial
Di trict Conventions and Williams: loaded
the records of his Office into wagon and
was about to drive off when the alarm
was given. The guards hurried from the
convention, and arming themselves,
hastily hitched up team and started in
pursuit of the treasurer. At a cross
road they mistook another wagon for
the Treasurer's and followed the wrong
trail. They were too slow for the team
in advance, and in their wrath, fired sew
eral shots at the supposed fugitive,
who finally escaped. In the meantime,
Williams had reached Eminence and put
the record in splace of safety. The
citizens of Eminence have armed them
selves in anticipation of an attempt by
the Ravenna people to capture the re.
cords and return them to their city.

THE Atlantic coast has been visited by
terrific and disastrous storm, in which
many lives have been lost. During the
storm the sea rose to tremendous
heights and dashed upon the Delaware,
New Jersey and Long Island shores, de-
stroying or greatly damaging nearly all
the principal watering places. Atlantic
City is badly wrecked. Long Branch and
the resorts at Coney Island are in sad
plight from the encroachments of the
breakers. But the most serious feature
of the bad news are the reports from all
points of vessels dashed to pieces and the
loss Of all on board, in some instances.
There seems to have been terrible hur-
ricane which started nom the Bermudas
and swept with Unprecedented fury
across the ocean to the American coast.
So severe storm has not visited the
Atlantic shores for twenty years, and
there is great anxiety felt for the safety
of all vessels that were in it's track.

WASHINGTON, September -. - The
President has made the following ap-

Scott Sweetland, Washington Ter.

doned the swcet s0ine business altogether
and they are now drying
their grapes to ship to foreign
country, Germany, governed on more
enlightened principles, and which does
not believe in crushing out important
and benefcent interests, either in their
infancy or at any stage of their growth.
The press of California should take up
this matter, and arouse our Senators and
Representatives in Congress to sense of
their duty. Indifference upon the part
of the people Of this State will soon result
in the permanent crippling of our vine
yardists. Once in the history of France,
through ignorant and bad laws, her
grape interests were ruined, but an en-
lightened policy soon prevailed. The
French lawmakers saw their folly and,
by substituting fostering for pernicious
laws, the wine industry of France was
soon restored to the proportions it had
attained in 1874, viz, $500, 1000, 900 gal
Ions.
Our wine makers, who are now en-
gagged in fighting nature-a hard battle
in which they are winning success
should not be obliged to feel the heavy
hand of the government in a struggle
which of itself involves enough of loss
and anxiety. The phylloxera, the mil
dew and the NAL nero are enemies enough
to meet in one bout. The success of
viniculture in California hangs upon the
action of the government Of the United
States and of our representatives in Con.
gress, upon our local representative
bodies and upon the press. All ought to
respond to the urgent need of memorial
izing, in all quarters in which a memo
rial may be effectual, in favor Of policy
upon the part OF the Internal Revenue
Bureau which shall foster instead of re.
press this splendid industry now
threatened by so many enemies.

ARKANSAS Cry, Kan, September - -
The formal opening of the annual reun-
ion of the old soldiers of the Southwest
took place today at Camp Logan. On
the platform were seated Governor
Humphreys, of Kansas, Governor Hovey,
OF Indiana, Senator ingalls, and ex-Gov-
ernor Anthony, of Kansas. President
Wilson, of the Soldiers Association, well
coined the visitors, and Governor Hum
phreys extended welcome to the veter-
ans on behalf of the State of Kansas.
Senator Ingalls, was given an ovation
when he was introduced and arose to
speak. In the course of his remarks he
said: "The wealth OF this nation has
increased 1920, 000,00 with every tick of
the watch, and the soldier has earned it
all. Without him there would be no
treasury and no nation, and he is emit
tied to his percentage of it,"
There were just three things that ought
to be done, said the Senator. First, the
limitations on pensions ought to be re-
moved; second, the Disability pensions
bill ought to become law, and third,
every soldier who received an honor.
able discharge ought also to receive a
pension.
These were the results that Commits
sioner Tanner sought to attain by his ad.
ministration Of the Office of Commits
sioner of Pensions, said the speaker, and
he Ungalls) honored him for his high
desires and brave efforts in behalf of the
veterans. ''The only fault 1 have to
find with Tanner" he continued, "is
that he did not have two feet while he
was in Office, 30 that he could have made
more rapid progress in the attainment of
his policy"
Several public camp fires we're held
this evening at which noted speakers
made addresses.

Racing Under Difficulties az

New YORK, September 1.-THE Coney
Island Jockey Club determined to hold
it's races at Sheepshead Bay today no
matter what the condition of the weather
was. The day was decidedly bad for
racing, the rain 30 binding the spec
tators that they could hardly see the
start, and only occasionally could they
distinguish the colors of the jockeys
on the track. The track was fet-
lock deep with mud. The event of
the day was the Great Eastern handicap,
for which twenty horses started. The
Hearst stable relied upon the $4,000
colt, King Thomas, but he was left at
the post, and the race was won by his
stable companion, Tournament, who was
so little thought of as winner that the
stable boy rode him. He started at odds

Los ANGELES asked for reduction of
her assessment of twenty per cent. She
got ten-just one-half. That would be
very gratifying if it were not that the
State Board at the same time granted
San Francisco, VIGOROUSLY under-as-
sessed city and county, a reduction of
five per cent. But perhaps We ought to
be thankful for small favors. With the
ten per cent off, our assessment roll will
reach about the same total it did last
