Kansas ex-Secretary of State to Supply
st. Louis Market With Fish.
Ex- Secretary of State R S. Osborn has
returned from st. Louis and will visit
with his family few days before be re-
turns
The little fire eating captain has aban
doned politics for good, and he will de-
vote his entire time to the catching and
marketing of fish. The finny tribe inhab.
iting the Mississippi river must suffer as
a result of the captains efforts.
Mr.. Osborn is the captain and sole
owner of q steamboat; or rather, of q
steam fishing boat Ever since the cap
tain has been in St. Louis he has been
engaged in the building of the boat II
is equipped with boilers and will be pro-
PEELED by a wheel, and will be loaded
only with the fishing tackle, nets, and
the results of the catch.
The boat will ply the waters above and
below the city of St Louis, and in fact il
will be found in whatever waters offer
the best inducement for a practical fish
erman. ST. Louis will be the base of op-
erations. The boat has been christened
s'Lettie," for the captains daughter.

CAN NOT BE APPEALED.
So Declared Concerning Probate Judges
Refusal To Issue Permits.

So Declared Concerning Probate Judges
Refusal To Issue Permits.
To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:
1 notice that Judge Wood OF Shawnee
county has refused to grant druggist
permit and that an appeal would be
9aken therefrom to the district court.
Having been employed in this kind of
case several years ago by the temperance
people OF my county, l then made care
full examination of the power of appeal
from the decision of the probate Judge,
not probate court.
took the position before the district
court of Butler county, that the decision
of the probate judge on the question of
granting or refusing druggist permit
Notwithstanding the attempt to give the
right of appeals final and not appeal
able, and my position was sustained by
the court The supreme court of Kansas
in the case of Martin g Milliken vs. the
Probate Judge of Rocks coun-
ty, reported in thirty second Kansas,
page 146, holds the law to be
as follows: "The refusal by a probate
judge to grant an applicant a druggist
permit, under the provision of paragraph
2, chapter 1913, of the act to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors, except for specific purposes, is
not the exercise of judicial functions,
and is not appealable or reviewa bIe."
This is simply one of several similar de-
cisions.
This decision was rendered under the
prohibitory law of 1881, chapter
1913, paragraph 2, and which did
not contain the provisions undertaking
to make it an appealable matter; but tn e
subsequent amendments did not change
the wording of that portion of the law
under which the decision above referred
n w
permit is by the probate Judge, not by
the probate court, and is not the exercise
of Judicial function, is certainly not ap-
| pealable or renewable, and the decision
of the probate judge is final

President Kruger evidently has no

social gathering given in his honor some
time ago one of Bloemfontein's sweet

house, turning to the president, who
was probably pining for pipe, asked,
'How did your honor like that?'' The

variations are making for the shipment OF
