MIR. HALE WINS.

He Is the Legal City Assessor Says tho
Supreme Court.
Geo. d. Hale is now the legal assessor
of the city of Topeka. The state SUI
preme court today made an order GUST
ing Oscar Bischoff from that position.
An argument was made that Mr.. Bis
choffs acts if he made the assessment
would be void. The court holds that all
his acts as city assessor are legal until
he turns the office over to his successor.
Mr.. Bischoff was appointed by Mayor
Cofran under the impression that he was
to serve two years. When Mayor Har-
and held that the Bischoff's tenure of
office was one year instead of two. Mr..
Bischoff refused to turn over the books
and suit was brought in the supreme
court to GUST him.
While the order of the court gives the
office to Mr.. Hale the assessment has
been made and Mr.. Bischoff has Secured
the emoluments for the year in question.

Mrs Elizabeth Grannis, who seems
to be matron Of excellent Intentions
from the back districts, has begun, we
are interested to remark, a crusade on
the cOrsage. In tlzas course of her visit
to the metropolis she has attended the
performances at the Metropolitan Opera
House and has had her attention divert
ed from the stage to the boxes. The dis
play in these boxes she regards as i'm
moral and has submitted to an interview
three quarters of a column long to that
effect and lifts up her voice, like high
necked pelican in the wilderness, against
the depraving tendencies of the low
redistribution
When one arrives at or reverts to
Mrs Grannis' point Of view, one can
not help sympathizing with her But
everything depends upon the point of
view. The decollete in nature is in this
respect like the nude in art. There are
