MIR. HOLZ HAD TO GO
Col Artz Told Tales About Him to
the Governor.
TIE ARSENAL JOB is VACANT.
Other Matters OfHnterest at the state
house and in Statehouse Circles

Other Matters OF Interest at the state
house and in StatehOuse Circles
There is more trouble at the statehouse
and it is the personal military staff Of
Governor LeweIling, that is involved this
time.
When Col II. H Artz. was removed
from the office of adjutant general, he
swore vengeance on the individual who
was responsible for the exposure of his
management of the Office and the dis
crepancy in his accounts.
This Individual was Frank HOlz. the
ordnance sergeant who has had charge
of the arsenal since the advent of the
POpulist administration, and who was
during the legislative war and after the
departure of the state troops known as
"Artz' army"
Col. Artz asked Governor Lewelling to
remove Holz soon after he (Artz) was re-
moved, but this the governor at that
time refused to do. Artz was deter
mined to get even with Holz and he has
at last accomplished his purpose for
Holz is no longer in the e mploy of the
state.
Artz returned from trip to Leaven-
worth and Atchison last week and soon
after his return obtained an interview
with the governor. What was said dur
ing this interview is not known, but i'm
mediately after Artz's departure from
the executive office Sergeant HOlz was
called in and notified that his services
would be dispensed with from that time.
Holz demonstrated but the governor told
him it was final and he was paid what
was due him and discharged on the spot
1t is said that Artz has been looking up
the governors record and threatened to
make public some Information which had
come into his possession, if Holz was not
removed forthwith. Whether this is
true or not, Governor Lewelling and Col
Artz alone know. but it is certain that
Holz has been discharged and the posi-
ton of Ordinance Sergeant paying $40 a
month is vacant This position is directly
under the governors control and the
salary is paid out of the governors con-
tingent fund.
Holz when seen this morning admitted
that he had been discharged but declined
to talk about the affair for publication.
He said: 81 am Populist for reform
and not for Doodle and l think the re-
form should begin in our own party
Col Artz could not be found today and
Governor Lewelling is at Kansas City as
witness in the Joe Smith libel case

committee, submitted the following re-
port:
We-find the dump in working order
and being used without any immediate
danger of damage to property. We would
recommend however that the extra cable
be fastened and stretched from the der
rick in the middle of the river to the
west shore and made secure and at the
same time take up all the slack in the
cable now being used. These repairs in
our judgment should be made at an
early date.

MUST PAY THE TAX.

Judge Riner Refuses an jun ction to the
Burlington Road.
Judge ]. A Riner today refused to
grant the petition of the G. B. & @. rail-
way for an injunction to prevent Sheriff
Betterton, of Norton county, from levy
ing on the engines and rolling
stock of the company to satisfy
delinquent taxes. The decision is one
of great Importance and is practically a
ruling not only against the Burlington
but many other roads that have been
fighting the tax assessment on the
ground it is excessive. The sheriff of
Norton county was about SO attach
the rolling stock of the company to
satisfy unpaid taxes. Judge Riner set
aside the restraining order, which pre-
vented it, and refused the injunction.
This means the railroad must pay taxes
or suffer the consequences. Cases in
volving the same points, also brought by
the Burlington railroad from Washing
ton and Republic counties, were not
passed on today and may not be this
term. W. F. Guthrie of Atchison, ap-
peared for the Darlington.

WOULD BETTER RESIGN.
Boliard Cannot Run the Vallejo
School Department.

VALLEJO, Dec. 1S.-At the last city election
William Bollard was elected Superintendent OF
the city schools, and Walter Saunders. william
Brownie j. IL. FOLEY and o. S. Cooper were
elected School Directors. Bollard is also rec
tor of the Episcopal church here and mas a
reputation for being pugnaeious and eOntro-
versial. When the schOOlhOuse burned down
last J1ly BOllard endeaVored to conduct mat
ters In his own way. This brought on a con-
troVersy with the School Directors and tied up
the whole School Department for months. TIE
plans Tor new school building had TO be
abandoned; all payments OF money were
stopped and teachers salaries have been
fastened up In The county treasury. Bollard
commenced an action TO remove The Directors
from office, charging them jointly aud sever
ally with breaking the law and acting II legally.
AS the Directors are leading citizens this
caused much stir. The matter was tried before
Judge Buckles at Fairfield and he gave his de-
cision to-day. The decision is in favor of the
Directors at every point and Bollard's action
is strongly condemned. There Is now universal
demand for Bollard's resignation. The teach
ers have employed attorneys TO remove the in
functions secured by Bolard so that they NAV
draw their long delayed salaries.
