Test Case at TT. Scott as to
Sheriffs' Fees.

ARKANSAS CITY, April 6.-The city
council has passed three ordinances
that are exceedingly novel in their con-
tent and far reaching in their application.
The first ordinance fixes a license of
500 for selling, bartering, or giving
away cigarettes or cigarette papers. The
licenses expire the first days of June and
Decem Der, in each year and penalty of
not more than 800 fine, or three months
Imprisonment in the city jail, or both, is
affixed.
The next ordinance prohibits the use of
tobacco in any form upon the street or in
the public places Of Arkansas City, by
minors below the age of 16, under a PEN
atty of not more than $50 fine, One-half
OF which goes to the infOrmer.
The last ordinance prohibits the loiter-
ing upon the streets, or in public places,
of minors under the age of IS, during
the hours from p. ~. to 6 a. m, from
October to March, inclusive and during
the hours from p. m. to 5 a. N. for the
other months in the year. The penalty
for violation of this ordinance is $25 fine
and cost of prosecution. These Ordi-'
nances take effect upon the 1st of May.
WONT GIVE UP HIS FEES.
Sheriff Allen of Bourbon. Says Law Re-
ducing His Salary Won't Hold.
FORT SCOTT, April 6.-Last Saturday
was the end of the first quarter after the
special law regulating the salaries of the
county officers had taken effect with the
sheriff and register of deeds. According
to the provisions of the law. Register of.
Deeds Try and Sheriff Allen should have
on that day filed with the county clerk
report of the business of their Offices and
turned into the county treasury the
amount of receipts over and above what
was allowed them under the reduced
salaries. Mr.. Try filed his report, and
delivered to the county treasurer 1916
which amount he had collected in excess
of his salary.
Sheriff Allen failed to do so, and he
today said that he proposed not to COM
ply with the law on the ground that it
was unconstitutional. He has arrived at
this determination after consulting emf
nent legal authority. The section of the
law which affects his salary reads as fol-
lows:
THE sheriff of Bourbon county shall
receive as full compensation for his SER
vices eighty per centum OF the amount
allowed him under the general law, and
which shall be by him collected"
This is a reduction of 20 per cent in
the salary of the sheriff, which has here
tofore consisted of all the fees by him
collected. Mr.. Allen sets up that the law
is unconstitutional in that it, in an indi-
rect way, levies a direct tax of 20 per
cent upon litigants in court.
Upon his refusal to file his report or to
deliver to the treasurer 20 per cent of the
receipts of his office, it will be the duty
of the county commissioners to take
steps towards forcing him to do SO, and
test case will result.

THE CHINESE TREATY.

Of course party feeling VIII have
its influence in discussing the pro-
posed Chinese treaty; but we do not
think any one, after reading over the
document, will fail to see the dan
gereus breaches it would make in the
exclusion wall, if he knows anything
of the methods of the Chinese or of
the manner in which they have
eluded the provisions of and worked
up to undermine every existing and
preceding law bearing upon their
immigration. We hope the Pacific
Coast delegation in Congress will
make determined opposition to the
joint production of Gresham and
Yang Yu. They will have a hard
battle, for the interests that the
Chinese have on their side are very
influential; but they should be
nerved to their task by TIE thought
that if they fail and the treaty be
confirmed, the Pacific Coast will
perhaps have to take choice between
surrendering to the Asiatic hordes
or resisting their Judgement on its
own account and in the best way it
can. The hands of our representa-
tives in Congress would be greatly
strengthened, if the people of the
coast would show, by wholesale
discharge of Chinese employees and a
universal refusal to buy of or deal
with them. what their true opinion
on the Mongolian question is. OF
course the Southern Pacific will con-
tinue to employ Chinese; but if any
other Pacific Coast people continue
to do SO, they may know that they
are, in so doing, practically voting
for the confirmation of treaty that
would be disastrous.

CO1ey's Answer.

Louisville, O., March 2S.-CoXey
did not join the army until late in
the day. He saw Senator Stewards
letter in the papers and sent out the
following reply over his signature.
The document shows traces of
Browne. Condensed it is as follows:
l have seen your letter in the
newspapers addressed to General
Coxey. Allow me to inform you
that | am hot General. ;" | would
respectfully announce that L am
simply President of the Coxey Good
Roads Association of the United
States and ex>officio of the Common
wealth Of Christ. / am not leading
an army, no matter what subsidized
press at the command of money
power tries to make it appear, and
all the epithets hurled at us as being
anarchists or "a mob" get more
weight by i'll admissions of our
friends. The warfare of the silver
men against the gold power under
your leadership is magnificent. The
morning papers say that even the
President of the United States is ell
gagged in conspiracy with Wall
street and he has vetoed the Bland
Seioniorage bill in the sole interest
of gold. So the die is cast. We
shall march peaceful and depend on
the outpo uring of a peaceful public
to defend US against Pinkertcns,
either in policemen, militiamen or
petty party politicians.

Strange Cause OF Failure.

A firm in Cedar Rapids doing a
fruit and egg business has made an
assignment. The cause of the failure
was rather unusual Almost hun
dred carloads Of eggs were stored in
one room and a large number of
lemons in the other. Between the
rooms was an iron partition, but the
flavor of the lemons nevertheless,
carried through and contaminated
the eggs. The loss on the eggs
amounted to about $50, 900, and the
firm was forced 70 suspend.
1t must have been rather a large
room to have contained 100 car loads
of eggs

WAsuls9foN. April 7-Nestcrday
the stream Of testimony in tho Pol
lard Breckinridge litigation, which
had grown to be exceedingly weari-
some. was brought to its close after
five continuous weeks of sensational
ism. The final rebuttal and surrebut-
tai consisted of more denials by the
plaintiff and defendant, leaving the
final status of the case what IL has
largely been throughout--a question
of veracity between the man and the
woman.
Madeline Pollard took the stand to
purge herself from the stain of the
mock marriage with blind Alec Julian,
as well as to repeat with dramatic
emphasis peculiarly her own, the de-
nial that the agreement to marry be-
tween herself ind Colonel Brecl1in
ridge had been anything but n
contract made in good faith, on her
pert at least. She also talked of the
utth of her children with freedom
which would have seemed astonishing
but for the matter OF tact way in
which all manner Of unusual things
have been discussed throughout this
unusual case.

the various keys of negation in which
