a,r,n.o.., n. Court.

In the discharge Of duties as q
newspaper reporter at sundry times
and in divers places, the writer Of
these lines has often been called up
on 10 testify in police courts, but 1t
was an entirely new experience to
him on last Thursday, Immediately
after dinner, when City Marshal
Jerry Williams informed him that
he was under arrest. We at once
remembered every watermelon
patch we had ever raided, and tried
to conjure up something that could
be the cause Of apprehension. We
gave IL up, and with tears In our
eyes, and innocence In our hearts
begged Jerry to inform US what we
had ever done. Jerry wiped his
streaming eyes, and between sobs,
we CLEANED the information that
Uncle George Sherman had IL i'm for
US because our poll tax on his book
was still marked unpaid, and he
thought we did not intend to pay 1t.
Innocent? OF course we were. 1t
was the first intimation we had that
anything was owing by US to the
city. Uncle George held up his
right hand and afterward solemniy
declared that he had mailed us two
postal cards. Then we had an inn
ing, and we swore that we never came
into possession Of those cards. Aud
We didn't, either. Then the Judge
discharged US, and we went over and
squared it with Uncle Sherman, by
plsnking down three dollars, and
taking his receipt.
But that isn't all. Seventeen
others met the same experience as
we did in the course Of the day, some
OF them did not fare 80 we'll as
We did, and some of them Jared bet
ter. Some plead guilty, and paid a
hne, with attachme nts,
while others exhibited receipts for
the work done or cash paid. Now it
may be all right for a man to be |
hauled up before our august aud
handsome police judge for non-pay-
ment of his poll tax, but il seems
that when a man has a receipt in his
pocket for his poll tax il is carrying
the matter little too far, and either
Uncle George should improve his
bookkeeping, or else the city should
get another street commissioner.

The Commercial Club of this city,
and the people who live on the Solo,
mon branch Of the Union Pacific are
working to secure the passenger
train service of that branch extended
to Salina. At Ellsworth Tuesday in
conversation with several people
who live on the branch, a JOURNAL
representative was informed that
the people up there demanded the
change because Salina IL their nat
ural headquarters, and they want
more direct facilities of communities
ton. The change would bring US
into daily local connection with Ben
nington, Minneapolis, Delphos and
Beloit, besides giving US more local
service east to Solomon. Every
body seems confident that the
change will soon be made.

erred in saying a new trial had been

new trial, and a hearing on the mo-

WESTERN KANSAS SUFFERING.

The Railroad COtnmtssIOners Address Gov
ernor Humphrey on the subject
TOPEKA, Kan. Jan 2O--A great deal
has been said about restitution in West
ern Kansas and the state of affairs has
perhaps in some cases been overCirayvn-
There is no doubt, however, that in
many of the counties there Is suffering
and much restitution. Last year no
crops whatever were raised in many To-
calities and the people who were de-
pendent entirely upon the products OF
the season (as many OF them yvere) are
now left with absolutely nothing upon
which to depend for sustenance. And
without money and without food they
must either be relieved or Starve-
The Railroad Commissioners have re-
ceived many letters and have done what
they could for the sufferers, but their
power is limited and the necessity for
immediate steps for relief are set forth
in the following letter to the Governor;
We feel it TO be our imperative duty to in
form you that this ONCE is in almost daily re-
ceiPt OF incOntestible evidence that great
restitution ana suffering exists upon our
frontier.
As You are aware the measures for afford
ing relief have been carefully unaturcd and
every precaution and safeguard which pru-
dence ana regard for suffering humanity
could suggest have been carefully con-
sidered- We have taken particular pains C
possess ourselves at the earliest possible mo-
ment OF authentic Information in regard e
the more urgent cases of need, that
supplies might be forwarded without
delay. Much has been done, but more
evidently remains to be accomplished
! The situation is painful Many people
! are absolutely destitute and helpless. They
/ are cold and hungry and deep snow covers
/ the ground. To days mail brings "A mos
| pitiful appeal from the aid cOmmi ssione al
/ of Rawlins County He says: THE snow
] covers the ground to "A depth OF twelve tnche;
/ on level and many families are burn inl
/ their household furniture to keep themseive ct
] from freezing. We need coal right nov
! worse than any thing"
This is one of the many letters of the sam,

! In view OF this condition of facts, sug
! gest that you make appeal 20 the Legis

mine at Lansing put under contribution a

/ tainly can be no moro Legitimate use of TN
