Mrs. Lease Triumphs.

Topeka, Feb. S.-The court holds
that Governor Lewelling had no
right to remove Mrs. Lease or ap-
point a successor, as she was appoint
ed for one year and confirmed by Il 9
Senate unless charges are preferred
and sustained, and that Freebord,
who has been acting as her successor
is a usurper.
Mrs. Lease says she intended 10 re
sign, as the salary was no object, Du'
she learns that the Governor has
plan to charge her with bribery IN
letting contracts for supplies to State
institutions. These, she says, are
false and she proposes to remain IL
office and fight them.
The Court was unanimous, the
Poplist members concurrlng with the
two Republicans.

Incandescent Day Current.

The San Antonio Gas and Elec-
trio company has at last estab-
lished the long promised day cur
rent, so necessary for small power
machinery. This has been ex-
pected for the past Is months. The
company has been delayed through
their inability to get their new and
very necessary switch board ear
lier. This switch board is Of
slate, OF a very peculiar and rare
formation, very close grained and
almost entirely impervious to mois-
ture. There is only one quarry so
far known in the world where this
quality of slate can be found. 1t is
in Vermont and so many orders
from electrical dealers are on the
books of the proprietor that he is
two years behind in his supply and
customers, consequently, have to
bide their time.
