You know Judge ThAyer has recently
been appointed, and that hereafter
the district judges must keep
within their respective districts
and not interfere with the
business of the circuit judges. All orders
in the Santa Fe receivership hereafter
must be madGeby Judge Caldwell 1t has
been the custom of the Santa Fe attor-
neys to prepare an order which affects
the interests of the road and then take it
to Judge Foster for his signature. In
this manner the receivers were author
lied to borrow over $1,0OO,000 on receiv-
ers' certificates After this Judge Cald-
well will look after everything which
pertains to the Santa Fe himself"

LIVE STOCK IN COURT.
Chickens, Pigs and white Horse in Police
Court This Morning

Chickens Pigs and White Horse in Police
Court This Morning
Police court opened bright and smiling
after the rain Of last night
Clark Gill and John Griffin are two
young men who are very much interested
in the races at the fair grounds-so much
so, IN fact that they became involved in
lively setto yesterday afternoon over the
merits Of one of the animals. Officers
Steele and Dagg were on the scene and
brought the boys to the station. They
pleaded guilty this morning and were
fined IS each, which they couldn't pay
and are now in the employ of the city.
Miss Hazel Delissa and Miss Mary
Thompson were entertaining themselves
with a white hoss" supper on Smoky
Row last evening and had become too
funny altogether for the dignity of the
community 50 they were arrested There
were broad smiles on their faces when
they appeared in court this morning and
pleaded guilty 10 the usual charge.
Their lines were placed at five dollars
Mary raised the necessary amount and
was released but Hazel still languishes
in the jaiE
Miss Minnie Sanders was also on a whiz
last night Minnie had sort of over esti-
mated her capacity for white horse. and
was elevating MephistOpheles, when the
police found it out. Minnie was soon
found in although she exerted her infiu-
ence to Keep out and eXerted more of it
10 get out. Inc nelg OOrS IN the Vicinl-
ty of the jail stayed awake last night to
listen to Minnie's earnest if not eloquent
pleadings- She was in better humor
this morning, and took her five -days-in-
the prison sentence gracefully.
After considerable argument among
the Russian settlement which was all. or
nearly all, in court this morning, the
judge concluded that Joseph Dechants
chickens were not guilty of trespassing
on Mr.. Werner's vegetables and the case
WAS dismissed.
There was another live stock case,
however, that demanded more Sc
rious consideration. 1t was a family
row, in which the brotherly feel
ing that should pervads the
household even unto the sister-in-
law was entirely disregarded Andy and
Edith Reeves were there to answer to
charge Of allowing their pigs to wander
around unmolssted over the bosom Of
Ella Reeves garden. There was good
chance for argument and the judge was
compelled to queI riot several times.
In the long run Edith was discharged
and Andy was fined one dollar which he
paid 'glad it WAS no wuss," and the
Reeves family took their quarrel out in
front of the station where they carried it
on till the police stopped it and sent the
parties home.
Once again there was peace at police
headq quarters.

since the surrender or Cornwallis certain

sharp iron spikes placed around it,
but the fiery patriots surmOunted this
obstacle and the stone was again dis

time until last Monday night The mists
and fogs Of Andre Hill searched in vain
for the peak of the monument which was
hidden from view in the rank grass and
weeds. Recently there was formal
declaration Of peace at Tappan, and to-
day the villagers themselves raised the
big stone to its pedestal.

NEW YORK. Sept 2O.-A special to
the World from Pittsburg says:
Senator Calvin s. Brice was interviewed
at the Union depot last night as he pass
% through on his way to New York from
the Ohio convention. Referring to his
Ohio experience. he said:
sThe insertion Of the free silver plank
in the platform of the Ohio state conven-
tion does not tie my hands.
81 do not wish to be construed as say
ing that the platform does not commit
the law makers Of the state who may be
elected under its provisions l am only
speaking for myself The convention
adopted a set of resolutions, one of which
favored free silver.
"a majority Of the people might unan-
imOusly say that they favored religion,
but that expression might commit one
man to Mohammedanism, while another
might haye.a tendency towards being
Baptist SO it is with the free silver plan
of the convention The vote by which il
WAS passed, a proportion of about five TO
three, shows how the people over there
feel about it.
sWhen we say free silver we may
mean a variety of things There was
the free silver law that we had up to
1878. Then there was the Bland law,
which continued in operation after a
lapse Of years until 1890. Then we had
the Sherman law. which existed from
that time until 1898. There is a free
silver coinage which allows a man to
take the metal to the mint and receive
his dollars therefor, less the amount for
seigniorage.
Another silver law allowed a man to
deposit gold or silver with the govern
ment and receive in return d sort
Of Nsarehopse reoIfpt for it. Still
third law gave IMAM CERTIFICATES for the
metal. 50, you see that free silver may

PARKHURsT on BYRNEs.

SAYS When Crusaders Want PhtIosophfz-
ing They'll Get a PhilosOPber Not Police
NEW York, Sept 21-Rev. Dr. Park
hurst last night paid his compliments TO
Superintendent Byrnes at meeting at
the Eighteenth Street Methodist church.
He said:
4 see that Mulberry street has made
statement that the social evil is ineradl-
cable, and must always exist What has
Mr. Byrnes got to do with that? 1t makes
me angry TO the last drop Of
my blood to hear them philosophize on
ethical questions. When we want phil
osophizing in Mulberry street. wo will
hire q philosopher. The police are paid
to enforce the law as it is made, not to
philosophize.
Now, just a word about Mr.. Byrnes
There has not been much said about him,
but / think it is time to begin, and
a conviction is ripening in the
minds of citizens that the time
has come to say something about him.
In his letter Of September 9TH, Mr.
Byrnes puts the responsibility for the
disability he discovers in the police de-
partlnent upon the shoulders Of every
one except those Of the superintendent.
I'm other words he puts the fault for
failures on execution everywhere ex-
cept the detective department The fact
is. and it should be emphasIzod, that
Mr.. Byrnes is the responsible executive
head of a department that has proved
intrinsically rotten
1.-TWO years ago Mr.. Byrnes told the
reporters that my so-called crusade was
started through motives of revenge be-
cause a certain policeman would not
give evidence which I aud some Of my
congre alton wanted him to give in

ly now. In his letter Of September z,

Rich to BE Accidental.
The coroner's jury in the case Of Bert
Rich returned a verdict of accidental
shooting this morning, instead Of suici-
dal.
The inquest was held at o'clock

found on the floor beside the boy.
with which he had evidently been trying
to take the rusty weapon to pieces.
The boys employer, William Sauer-
land, testified that the boy was not of a
moody or melancholy disposition. There
was no evidence on which to base an
assumption of suicide.
The body of the boy was buried in
Topeka cemetery this afternoon. The
funeral was brief and conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Irelan, their next door neighbor.
