STONE AND CONTRACTORS,

Councilmen Carson, Wight, Herrig,
Mercer, Downing and Schnitzler and Mr..
| r. Bennett made trip yesterday to To-
wanda to examine building stone for the
city building. They spent a few hours on
| the "rock pile" hammering away to try
| and learn something or the origin, date of
manufacture. who by and what the stone
was made out OF and touching upon Kin
dred topics. After the geologic cal effort
they returned to the city.
1t is said full council will leave on the
Frisco this morning for Augusta to take
another lesson in tue interesting subject
of rockology and may get back this even
ing in the event the subject does not prove
SO interesting as to rob the few at church
tomorrow. 1t is said number of other
trips have been planned and in due time
will be carried out provided always that
the selection of stone is not made at the
council meeting Monday evening.
About every contractor submitting bids
is interested in some KIND of stone as rep
resented and they are making things quite
lively. taking very active part in the
matter. OF course there is nothing about
it suggesting lobby business or anything
of that kind.
Among the contractors submitting bids
are Henry Bennett, of Topeka, who is
lover OF the Marion stone. w. c. Green, of
Wichita: Messrs. Rice, Rogers. Wood. of
Wichita; gentleman from Winfield and
St. St Louis contractor. Most of them
are in the battle and fighting for the job.
The combination feature by some is eX-
pected.

At session Of the probate court for the county

Present, Hon. Benjamin +. Heckert, Judge Of

In the matter Of the estate of Patrick T..

On reading and fling the petition, duly verified
OF Annis l. Stanley, widow of said deceased, pray
ing, for reasons therein set forth, that certain i'm
strument in writing file in said court, purporting
to be the last Will and testament of said deceased,

be assigned for the hearing of said petition, and all
persons interested in said estate required TO APP
pear at session of said court then TO be holden at

show cause, IL any there be, why the prayer of the
petitioner should not be granted.
And IL is further ordered, That said petitioner
give notice TO the persons interested I'm said estate
OF the tendency of said petition, and the hearing

This objection would be urged in the
United States against any tribunal
which could be selected among those
now i'm existence. But such an objec-
ton would not exist in practice. The
true safeguard against partsanship and
against the charge of IL would be the
openness and necessary publicity of all
the proceedings. Ii Is easy enough for
man To be partisan, surrounded,
supported and sustained by others who
act with him, but on the bench, alone
by himself, face To face with the COM
munity, Judge would be true To his
duty and true To his Office.
IL the supreme court judges could try
such cases, their high character and
sound learning would not only be "A safe
guard i'm themselves against injustice,
but would inspire that confidence which
is half the battle. But with the present
number of judges and the volume of
work imposed upon them such detail
would not be practicable, even il there
were no other objection. There remain
the circuit and the district judges. The
latter would have the advantage of be-
ing upon the spot of having familiarity
with the ways and manners of the peo-
pie Immediately concerned, and could,
perhaps, make needed examination into
the cases with less waste of time than
any one else. The objection would
arise from the possibility of undue local
influence. BY this is not meant, of
course, any influence of which the
Judge would be conscious But the de-
sire To be well with ones neighbors is
one of the most powerful controllers of
men. If the new bill to relieve the
Supreme Court, which has already
passed the House, should pass the Sen
ate and become law, there would be
large number of circuit judges, and
from that number three or six, or even
more, could be detailed To act rs Judges
of elections or members of Congress.
Each Judge could take testimony, make
investigations on the spot, and pro-
nounce his opinion which would GER
tainly be made prinld .fdcie, and which
the House would not be likely to dis
turb. Such tribunal, empowered to
make rules and regulations and to es-
tablish in the light of growing expert
ence rules of evidence which should be
applicable To contested-election cases,
would save much cost of money and
spare much time of the legislative body,
and give the country assurance of sound
and safe decisions on the vital question
as To who have been chosen to make
the laws and direct the fortunes of the

Camp Sheridan.

Among the many Comrades who have
passed away since our last reunion, no
one was more highly esteemed while
living, or more deeply lamented in his
death, than the brilliant, dashing and
intrepid hero, Philip H. Sheridan.
A son of the people, rising by his own
merit from obscurity To the height of
renown; beginning his military career
as Colonel of Michigan regiment, and
ending it rs General of the United
States army, it is fitting that his name
should be recalled and mentioned
whenever the occasion is appropriate,
in order that the memory of his heroic
patriotism may be kept green in the
hearts of his comrades. 1t has there
fore been determined that the place of
our encampment this year shall be
known as Camp Sheridan"
The grounds of this encampment
contain every reasonable convenience
for the purpose for which they have
been selected. They are conveniently
located, easy of access, and contain
abundant room. They will be provided
with an ample supply of pure, cold
water, sufficient wood for cooking.
and will be lighted at night. Street
cars run from all the railroad sta
tions TO the camp.
The mention of the fact that the ill.
ustrious soldier, Sheridan, and so
many of his and our comrades have
since our last reunion taken their
station ION Fame's eternal camping
ground" reminds us, comrades, that
we, too, are passing away Few, in
deed, will be the reunions which we
may attend this side the eternal
assembly above. Whatever of sacrifice
and effort may be needed TO accomplish
it, let us attend the reunion this year il
