The demand was refused" The Herald says Meader illegally" retalns possession of the office. If So, he does it at his peril The statutes prescribe a penalty of imprisonment for those who intrude themselves into any public office and unlawfully withhold it from the legally constituted official.

Sixty cities, in Kansas, on All Fools Day, April 1st, elected municipal of- fcerS. The chief interest was the ex- ercise of suffrage by women. At Leavenworth they elected their ticket; the reason of their success is attribu- table to the fact that husbands were necessarily engaged in domestic du- ties, washing dishes, cooking, baking and diseiplinlng the children. At Emporia the women were worked to the highest pitch and were successful in electing one of the strong minded of their sex a member of the school board, but beyond that the bucks scored a victory.

A TEACHER WINS.

The case of Mrs. c. E. Rembert, plaintiff, vs. School District No. 1, of Yuma county, defendant, was tired before Judge Kibbey in the district court at Yuma on the 25th ult., and resulted in judgment for Mrs. Rem bert of seven hundred and fifty dol lars.
 The facts in this case are briefly as follows: Mrs. Rembert, who IS now teaching in the public school in Tenn pc, was hired by the Yuma school board to teach the school term at Yuma, of ten months, for the year of 1888. She entered upon her duties as teacher and taught the school as prin- cipal, for about two months, when, without any reason given therefor, the board unceremoniously removed her from the school, and refused to pay her for the unexpired term, though they pald her for the actua! time she taught. Mrs. Rembert declined to submit to such treatment, and desir- ing to have a court decide whether a teacher could be treated in such a manner, brought the suit which ter mlnated Tn her favor. Mrs. Rembert, since the successful termination of her suit against the school dlstrictris about entering suit agalnst the trus- tees for exemplary damages tor as sault upon her character as teacher.
 We credit the foregoing to the Tem- pc News of March 18th.

An exchange remarks that the law providing for the removal by the Gov ernor of officers of counties, and also Territorial, had been in existence in Arizona for 20 years, at the time 1t was repealed March 10th, 1887-but three years ago. Under it Governor Zulick removed tie Insane Asylum Commissioners. The law can be found in the compiled lawssof Arizona, 1887, page 175, chapter 15. The law was approved Nov. Eth, 1866 and took eff feet Jan. 1st, 1867. Smith & Goodrich we belleve took the case ot the Cover nor when he sought to remove the asylum commissioners. The bill IS nothing new to Arizona.
 Nor indeed in other localities of this confederacy. Of recent date Governor Francis, of Missouri, summarlly re- moved Ed. Noland from the office of treasurer of that State. The Presl- dent of the United State exercises the right to remove officials, Tn all cases, except where the constitution pro- vldes trIals by impeachment.

THE COLD SNAP.
The Farmers Review Says 1t Is Responsible
For damage to Winter Wheat.

The Farmers Review Says 1t Is Responsible
For Damage to Winter Wheat.
CHICAGO, March 6.-The Farmers Re-
view says: The report of our correspond
ents indicate that the present cold snap
damaged winter wheat in many counties
in Central Illinois, Indiana, Missouri,
Kansas and Michigan from 10 to 80 per
cent. Wisconsin and a portion of the
counties in Northern Illinois are pro-
tected at present by blanket of snow.
Very few reports of damage by winter
killing have been received from Ohio
and none from Kentucky. In the Ohio
valley, however, embracing portions
of Ohio Indiana and Southern Illinois,
excessive rain has swelled the streams
and flooded the bottom lands, greatly
damaging wheat fields on low grounds.
With the exception of few counties in
Kansas and Central Illinois there are no
complaints of damage from Hessian fly.
The best all-around report comes from
Kentucky, all of our correspondents in
that State quoting the condition of
wheat as good to very good" and no
damage from any cause. The most dis
couraging reports come from Michigan.
Owing to fall droughts many fields be-
gan the winter in poor condition.
While few counties are covered with
snow many are bare, and wheat has suf-
fered greatly from the alternated freez-
ing and thawing experienced during the
past month.

The Missouri State Treasurer Suddenly Ten
ders His Resignation Pending the Investi-
cation of His Books.
JEFFERSON CITY, NO., March Sat
four o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr.. Z.
7. holland entered the Treasury Depart
ment. Governor Francis was in the
private Office, and walking up to him,
Mr.. holland handed him an envelope.
'Here is my resignation, Governor" he
said, and turning, walked out.
7 His Excellency, David r Francis, Gov
ernor of Missouri:
JEFFERSON CITY, No., March 2, 1S90-Sir:
herewith hand you my resignation as State
Treasurer of the State of Missouri Very re-
spectfully, Il. i. NoLAND
What led Mr.. holland to tender his
resignation can only be surmised as he
declines most positively to talk. He
would only say last night that he was
preparing statement to give the press.
What the nature of this statement will
be can not be foreshadowed at present.
Mr.. holland was engaged last night
upon the statement he will make public
to-day. He counseled with friends and
there is an undercurrent of anxiety
about the capital as to what disclosures
may be forthcoming.
Governor Francis has not accepted the
resignation of Mr.. holland yet. He will
move very cautiously in order to avoid
complication.
The Acknowledgement Is looking up
all the points bearing upon the case in
order to decide what disposition should
be made of the resignation. Some hold
that it is a constitutional right Of a
State officer to resign at any time and
under any circumstances, while on the
other hand others contend that while
under suspicion Mr.. Noland's resigna-
tion can not be accepted. 1t is believe
that the action will only serve to COM
plicate matters and involve intricate
legal questions.

YOUNG LINCOLN DEAD.
The Unfortunate Youth succumbs TO Hi
Disease.

Dtaf1ses
LONDON, March 6.-Master Abraham
lincoln, son OF Mr.. Robert Lincoln, the
United States Minister, who has been
suffering for long time from blood
poisoning, arising from a malignant
carbuncle on the left side below the
armpit, died at seven minutes after
eleven o'clock yesterday morning.
During the morning the lad was in a
comatose condition. He refused to re-
tain nourishment and the doctor stated
definitely that his death was only a
question Of a few hours. He suffered no
pain. Mr.. Lincoln and his family were
at the bedside Of the dying boy from
early in the morning until he died. He
passed away quietly.
The following account of the lads ill
ness is authoritative:
He went to Versailles to study French,
and had been there about two months
when he began to feel vaguely indis-
posed. This feeling lasted for about a
week, when, on November 6, a large
carbuncle developed in few hours on
the left side under the arm, both left
arm and hand at the same time becom-
ing greatly swollen. His parents were
sent for, and on their arrival from Lon
don, twenty-fOur hours later, they found
his condition as above stated, except
that the arm swelling was somewhat di-
minished. Next morning the local ply
sicians made an incision in the carbun-
Gle, and it was thereafter treated with
great care with poultices and antiseptics
until November IS, when an alarming
infiamms pry and febrile condition set
in.
An operation was performed by dis
tinguished Paris physicians, and there
after the wound so made was carefully
treated. The patient continued to take
and digest nourishment perfectly we'll,
but notwithstanding this he began tc
lose flesh, and the wound, instead oi
healing at all, became unhealthy.
Finally, it was deemed expedient tc
remove the sufferer to London where he
might receive attention from the famous
surgeons of that city, and this was
accordingly done on January IT.
The patient was at once placed
in charge of DR.. Maclagan of Cad
ogan Place, London, assisted by DR.
| Jones and DR.. Thomas Smith, surgeon
The lads trouble was not limited to the
| outside of the chest wounds, but ex
tended inward, interfering materially
| with the movements of the ribs on that
| side and causing also an effusion within
| the chest, which effusion increased to
such an extent that on February 20 the
patient was in imminent danger of being
suffocated. By this time the emaciation
had greatly increased. Desperate op'
| erations were resorted to by the sur
geons but without success.

Two Mysterious Women View His Remains
and Probably Know His Antecedents.
TOPEKA, Kan, March 6.-Two women
of this city called at police headquarters
to see Chief Gardiner about the dead
bank robber. The chief was absent,
but description of the dead man was
furnished, and the women left atNonce
for Meriden. When they saw the dead
body one of them tainted, but said moth
ing about the identity of the dead man.
They returned to Topeka and were fol-
lowed by County Attorney Gephart, of JEFF
ferscn County, who came up on the same
train. The women got off at the North
Topeka junction depot, however, and
escaped Gephart. 1t is thought they
knew something about the case. The
picture of the robber in the sheriff's
office still attracts much attention.
Depotmaster Watts, of the Rock Island.
has seen it and says that the man loafed
about the Rock Island Second street
station for several hours one day last
week. At that time he had several
packages under his arm.

MERIDEN, Kan, March S.-Great ex-
element has prevailed in this little city
ever since the killing last Sunday morn
ing of the Valley Falls bank robber.
The authorities have been keeping his
body from day to day, hoping that some
one would come and identify the body
and give it burial. 1t has been almost
daily occurrence for some one to ar
rive who thought they could identify 1t,
but up to yesterday no one had been
able to do so.
Yesterday afternoon A. R. Shaw. Isaac
Shaw and FL. w. Lemon arrived from
Homewood, a small town near Ottawa,
Kan, and each identified the outlaw be-
yond question, his name being Shannon
Robson and his home at Homewood,
Kan, where he leaves an eighteen-year-
| old wife and one child.
Robson some two years ago married
a Miss Shaw, then sixteen years of age,
and engaged in the mercantile business
and was also the village postmaster. II
is said he had always been considered
honest and honorable and was. up tc
the time Of his bank robbery, considered
a constant church member, belonging ts
| the Baptist denomination.

STRUGGLE WITH A MANIAC.
Terrible Experience OF n Chicago Woman
with an Escaped Lunatfc.

with an Escaped Lunatic.
CHcA 90, March s.-Last evening Mrs
Mary Peterson, weary from her days
ork, sat by the kitchen fire to await
the coming of her husband, when the
front door opened. Supposingit IL to be
her husband, she got up to greet him,
but before she reached the hall door IL
was thrown violently open and strange
man with ferocious glare in his eyes
confronted her.
For a moment the two stood facing
each other, the woman almost paralyzed
from fear and the mailman gloating over
his intended victim with glittering eyes.
Then the maniac drew a revolver and
leveling it at the woman's head, fred
With a superhuman effort she sprang
to one side, and then, with a bound like
a tiger, clutched him by the throat
1t was fight for life, and even the
madman with his awful strength, could
not loosen the woman's grip. In vain
did he strike her with his revolver. He
tried to bring the muzzle in line with
her head that he might blow her brains
out, but she hugged him so closely that
he could not, and the weapon was again
discharged into the wall.
The woman clinched her hands the
tighter, and the mans eyes began to
start from their sockets, while his face
changed from red to livid purple and
his tongue rolled out as he gasped for
breath. The veins of his forehead
swelled almost to bursting, but she held
on, knowing that her life depended on
her grip.
Back and forth across the room they
struggled. Chairs were overturned and
the table, set for supper, was upset.
The madman had ceased to strike her
and all his efforts were to break her
grasp on his throat. He began to weak
en-. At last the blood spurted from his
nostrils and the sight of this was more
than the poor woman could stand. She
relaxed her hold and fed from the house
to the nearest neighbor's and the police
were called.
AS soon as he was freed from Mrs.
Peterson's grasp, the mailman skunk to
the attic of the house. In a short time
officers arrived and the maniac was
| found in the attic. He had lost his pis-
tol in his struggle with Mrs. Peterson,
but after another contest he was finally
overpowered.
Nothing could be learned from the
man, however, further than that his
name was Albert Jensen and that he
had escaped from Michigan insane
asylum. After closely examining him
he was taken to the detention hospital.

Mccabe on Oklahoma.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 6.-E. P. Nc
Cabe, the colored candidate for Gov
ernor of Oklahoma, says that he puts no
faith in the dispatches sent out from
Guthrie and Washington that the whites
will forcibly resist any effort to make
Oklahoma a negro State. He said
to-day: 'If appointed Governor !
will administer the laws of the United
States without fear or favor to white and
black alike. That character of balder-
dash may do south of Mason and Dixon's
line, but we go to re Territory to put
an end to that kind OF politics. Stuffed
ballot box and shotgun policy must be
relegated to the South. where it belongs.
