WASHINGTON, D. c.. February 28.-It IL
universally agreed by the friends of the Cher
okee strip bill that this has been an exasper-
ating week. They were almost sure they
would be able to throw the bill in confer
ence, but owing to the failure of Speaker
Crisp to keep his word, they were doomed to
q frightful disappointment.
All through the week it has been a success
sion of disappointments and nothing has
appeared to lend encouragement but the
scheme of Senator Perkins to add the bill to
the Indian appropriation bill when the meas
ure reaches the senate. The developments
along this line have been the favorable lndi-
cations of the week.
In discussing the matter Chairman Peel
stated he had about concluded that the only
way to get the bill passed was to rely on the
Perkins amendment. He made this state
ment Immediately after he held confer
ence with Speaker Crisp. He was given to
understand that he would not be allowed
time for the consideration of the bill until
the appropriation bills are disposed of.

THE CASE OPENED.
The Court Has Power to Enforce Its
Orders.


Orders.
When tho L. c. Gum habeas corpus case
came up for trial before tho Kansas supreme
court. and after the chief attorneys had
stated the case in dispute, Chief Justice
Horton announced that all the evidence In
the case would be heard before the argu-
ments we're made.
The attorneys then he'd controversy as to
which side the bur den of proof depended on.
The court said the burden of proof would
rest with the republicans.
This point was argued at length, but was
finally settled by Chief Justice Horton say
ing, 1.-THE court has unanimously agreed that
we will hear all the evidence of the case and
that the defendants must present their evi-
dence first" This p aced the burden OF
proof on the republicans.
The court ordered that all arguments on
objections to evidence would be heard after
the evidence is all in and the attorneys for
the Dunsmore house agreed that Mr.. Hagan
should state the objections they wished to
make during the Progress OF the trial.
At this point Attorney Clemens got hot.
evil this court" he said, pretend to say
that as a cour5 of record and as the court
where the original proceedings are brought,
that no objection shall be made to the intro
duction of evidence?" Then throwing his
hand out before him and staring at the floor
as Chief Justice Horton attempted to inter
rupt him. he raised his voice and said: ''Wlll
the court allow me moment! The court
has 20 right to make such a ruling. Will
this court pretend to elevate itself above all
authority in the state and hear evidence In
an indirect manner, it cannot hear directly.
Here Mr.. Clemens was cut short by Chief
Justice Horton, who, with unusual tirmneSs,
said:
1.-The court will be obeyed. The court has
the power to enforce its orders and it will
compel all persons, even the attorneys In the
case, to be respectful of it's orders"
Clemens went out, muttering.
Evidence was then commenced, Chief
Clerk Brown and Secretary of State Osborn
were examined before dinner. No facts
were brought out not already known all over
this continent.
When the court convened after dinner
Judge Frank Doster asked if the court in its
evidence intended to go into the merits of
the election of the members. Chief Justice
Horton replied that the court would not go
into the merits of who was elected.
J. K. Cubbison and Speaker Douglass were
examined during the afternoon session.
Nothing new brought out.
1t will require several days to reach an
end of the case.

T.olanl Wehh Dead

TOPEKA. February 23.-Leland J. Webb.
the we'll known lawyer of the city who was,
one term, at the head of the Sons of Voter

tIte for stimulants. He has, with the CO.
operation of his relatives and friends, been
making a desperate battle with his appetites
for several years: but he is dead from the
drugs he has gorged.
He took cocaine, or injec' ed it into his
arm, IN Immense doses, and sometimes, to
offset an overdose, would take its antidote,
strychnine. This last occurred at his office,
where ho died from the effects.

Representatives Of many of the big
city dailies of the east were in Topeka
during the scrap. Some remain and all
are still represented.
"The good order that was kept in the
city last week was something remark
able" said Charles Spencer, late men,
Der of the board of police commission
ers. "All during the week large pro-
portion of the citizens, and many OF
them undesirable citizens, have been
armed, and yet nobody was hurt. This
could not have been done had there
been saloon-in the town. A drunken
man with gun is always dangerous,
and some of the deputy sheriffs or else
a member of the militia would have
been certain to get drunk and make a
row, and a riot only needed such
start"
Rev. John D. Knox has deposited
with the State Historical society book
containing financial accounts of the
Kansas Freedman's Relief association,
1879-1881. This is a large account
book containing sixtv-ive pages, show
ing brief entries of receipts and dis
bursements. Mr.. Knox says there were
other books and many papers connected
with the transactions OF that relief
association which were in the hands OF
other persons and which should be
brought into the collections of the his
torical society, as containing full his

of Kansas took care of the colored ex-

business men smoking cigars after dim
ner at the Mercantile club the other
afternoon, the statement was made by.
q manufacturer that the city would
spend fully a quarter of million dol
lars in testing smoke-preventing de-
vices this year. He meant, of course,
the manufacturers of the city who have
the air of the smoke. This club got up
the bills organizing the city crusade
against the smoke nuisance, which the
Mayor has just signed. The laws es
tablish a bureau with inspectors, whose
duty it is to prosecute those who will
not use smoke preventing devices on
their furnaces. A popularity of the,
law that distinguishes it from those
proposed in other cities is that any in
ventor can have his device tested and
its merit decided upon by board OF.
experts paid by the city. The club
hopes to rid the city of half of its smoke
cloud by the beginning of summer.
Ever since the Merchants bridge
was completed it has been seen that
one to cross the Mississippi for the
special use of foot passengers and
vehicles. The Eads bridge built up
East ST. Louis, and the MerchantsN
bridge made Madison and Venice grow
into f1ourishing lows. The people OF
these two towns cannot get to St.,
Louis on foot or by vehicles. They
must use the regular trains of the Mer-
chants Terminal Company, or wait for
slow ferry-boats. They want bridge
over which electric cars can run, and
people can walk. The bill now before
Congress provides for this kind of a
bridge, which is to be built by ST.
Louis men at cost of about $500, Oo0i
Mayor Noonan has just signed bilr
that will give st. Louis another cleo
trio street railway before the crowds
begin to fill the city for the,
Fall Festivities. The road win
run along Grand Avenue, one
of the widest and most important resi-
dence throughfares of the city. 1t will
enable one to ride from the cemeteries,
to the Grand Avenue viaduct, and
across that to Tower Grove Park. The
road will cost half a million DOLLARS
and will be built entirely by st. Louis
capital.
The st. Louis Turner societies are
noted all over the United States for Their
gymnasts. There are six turn halls in
the city, and the membership of the
societies is over 10000. About FIVE
hundred of the best of these gymnasts
are being drilled for exhibitions at the
Worlds Fair. The corps will include
all the young athletes who participate
in the events on the Turner nights at
the ST. Louis exposition, and there will
be besides, specially drilled body of
a hundred men or so who are known
among the Turner's everywhere,
as prize-winners in the national
The corps will go to the.
Worlds Fair prepared to issue and re-
ceive challenges for all sorts of feats of
