AN OUTRAGE.
Tho Allowances for the L. S. District Court
Grossly Inadequate.

The appropriations for the United States
been, grossly inadequate Without doubt
it is one of the most important federal
courts in the United States, yet but ten
thousand dollars were appropriated for its
business, a sum not One-half sufficient to
pay its expenses. Instead of two terms a
year but one is provided and the appro-
priation or allowance for this term has
already been exhausted with the docket
hardly touched. The grand jury has re-
turned over seventy indictments and are
discharged. This leaves over four
hundred cases on the docket for
the next term. Judge Foster
IS utterly helpless. and prisoners are
compelled to be in jail from year to year
without a hearing. The Fort Smith
court is allowed over one hundred thous-
and dollars per year. What are our sena-
tors and congressman doing that such a
state of affairs is permitted to exist.
Scores of witnesses must be sent back
home to be returned here year hence,
doubling the expense of milage, adding
greatly tothe expenses in other directions.
But for political and local reasons Kansas
would have long since been divided into
two districts, which now ought TO be done
at the earliest day possible to the end that
all those charged with crime may be al
forded the speedy trial which the constitu-
ton guarantees.
LATER-A telegram was received last
evening by the court officials that
further allowance of money was on its
way to this city and court will finish the
most impOrtaut cases,

OTHER BUILDINGS

In all portions of the city where fire has

of the builder replacing new for old. In
every instance the new far exceeds the old
structure and the individuals loss has
been a gain TO the general appearance of
the city. While the business portion of
the city is improving the residence portion
is by no means being sighted and on every
hand buildings may be seen from the
modest frame cottage to the elegant stone
and brick residences. Present space will
not permit even the enumeration OF the
residences contemplated and in course of
construction nor even the most meagre

the third story. Both the Main and Pine
street fronts of this building are stone and
the construction shows much neat and ar

weeks.
