Yes, Kansas is in for it, and VIII catch
the arrows of sarcasm from every direc-
ton for some time to come. Here is a
bit of passing pleasantly @ that Repre-
sentative Rockwell of Massachusetts,
relieved himself of on the floor of con-
gress a day or two ago in discussing a
measure then pending:
Zone of my earliest recollections was
that the people of Kansas had agents all
through this country asking donations of
of Bibles and Sharp's rifles for the people
of Kansas. [Laughter.l And from that
day to this, whenever Kansas commun-
ity had an overplus of hay or oats or for
age of any kind that they did not know
how to dispose of, they went to work and
stirred up an Indian war, SO to get the
army out there and make market for the
sale of their product"

talking about removing the state capital
from Topeka to some farther interior

EX-CONVTOT MARSHALL
Now Supposed to Be the Murderer of
Messenger Tovey.

Now Supposed to Be the Murderer of
Messenger Tovey.
There now seems to be good reason to
believe that the highwayman who killed
Express Messenger Tovey near Jackson
few days ago was John w. Marshall,
the recently discharged stage robber.
Marshall was seen on the day of the
murder in the vicinity of where the lone
and Jackson stage was stopped. He was
armed with rifle at the time.
A gentleman in this vicinity, Nwho has
had much to do with the criminal ele-
ment Of late years, telephoned the REC
ORD UNION on the night of Tovey's muir
der that he was satisfied he could name
the man who killed him, but his theory
was knocked out when informed that the
robbers hight was given at five and one
half feet. He said in that case it could
not have been Marshall, who was some
inches taller. But for that he would have
staked his reputation as a detective that
the fellow was Marshall. In 1888 he was
convicted of stage robbery in Sierra
County, and was sentenced to San Quen-
tin for ten years. He was released last
April.
1t now turns out that the lone robber
and murderer was taller than the hight
first given, and the fact of Marshall hay
ing been seen in that locality at the time
makes it pretty certain that it was he who
did the JOB.
Following is a description of him:
John W. Marshall, age 10 years, hight
feet 81 inches, brown hair, florid COM
pleXion. slender build, thin features,
quick, active walker, slouchy appearance
and gray eyes. A reward of $500 IS offered
Ior his arrest.

Trustee Conklin said he believed in in
surance. He thought the deed of gift
contained a clause providing that the city
should keep it insured. and he would
prefer to see it still insured.
Mayor Steinman said that he wanted to
save the city's money, and as the matter
lay in his province he thought he was en-
titled TO his opinion, but the board could
do as it saw fit.
The board decided to drop the insur-
ance.
The Board Of Control of the gallery, at
its meeting the other night, decided on
TINS course, as they believed that, with a
hreproof building and Waterman, the
insurance was useless expense.
BID FOR BONDS REJECTED.
Sparrow Smith. for the Bonded Debt
Commissioners, reported that bid had
been received from the Anglo-California
Bank OF San Francisco Limited, in an
swer TO an advertisement, for bonds Of
1913 at 80 cents, and coupons OF 1898 at 50
cents
The commission rejected the bid, think
ing it too low.
On motion Of the Mayor, the action Of
the commission was approved.
MISC ELLANEOUS.
The City Attorney reported, in regard
to The assessment of e.. j. Schiller, that it
was the duty OF the Assessor to assess the
improvements found upon the lot,
whether completed or not, and to fix a
value on them; that Mr.. Schiller's remedy
was to appeal to the Board of Trustees,
sitting as a Board OF Equalization, and
his failure to do SO deprives him of his
legal recourse.

ton for appointment as Inspector Of the
