WellingtOn's Malt Ordinance.

Daily Mail.
The theoretical temperance element
OF this city for long time past has
raised great hue and cry over what
is known as the malt ordinance"
We have repeatedly expressed the
opinion that this ordinance was good
enough were it enforced, instead of
being used as Shield and cloak for
violations of law.
Allow us to call attention to a few
facts. The laws Of the state, as well
as the ordinances Of this city, includ-
ing this malt ordinance, require that
all occupation tax licenses shall expire
on the last days Of June and Deem
Der respectively. In other words, any
person desiring to sell malt must take
out license until June 3Oth or De-
bember 81. AS soon as July l arrives
no malt license that would afford any
protection whatever can be issued by
the city except that it expires Decem-
Der 81, 1895. This would cost the malt
dealer $3.50 spot cash in advance, as
the annual license tax is $500. Not
more than one outfit in the city could
or would pay the tax.
Suppose they don't pay, then what?
This malt ordinance provides that for
every day they do business without
first taking out a license, a fine of
from $40 to 800 a day shall be impos.
ed. Take the past six months as a
sample. There has not been a single
hour during that time when single,
solitary malt joint has had a lawful
right to sell malt or anything else,
and any man or woman or set Of men
and women who see fit to prosecute
them can convict them under this
malt ordinance for its violation on
each day for the past two years. 1t
need not be proved that they sold in
toxicants; it may be safely admitted
that they have not, but if they have
been engaged in the business of selling
notwithstanding malt, or of any other
drink, whether intoxicating or not,
every mothers son of them can be
fined from SO to 500 for each day
they have been in business, on the
charge of being engaged In the sale of
drinks without first having taken out
an occupation license. 1t is not nec-
eSsary to allege or prove that those
drinks were intoxicating in this sort
of prosecution.
The methods adopted by the city
clerk of collecting this particular &C.
cupation tax in installments and OF
issuing so-called licenses to expire at
the end Of each month, would afford
no protection from such prosecutions.
Such practices and the resolutions OF
motions passed by the council upon
which they may be based are clearly

Illegal Laws.

Among the blunderS made by the
recent legislature was the passage of
the multitudinous acts vacating nu-
merous townsites and portions of
townsites all over the state. AttOr-
ney-General Dawes has just rendered
decision stating that the acts passed
last winter by the Kansas legislature
vacating certain tOwnSites or parts
thereof are unconstitutional and void,
because they are strictly special legis-
latiOn and have no general application
to all tcwnsites. The session laws Of
1895 contain eighty-three pages Of
these laws, their object being to avoid
city taxes. Among the places inClud-
ed in these acts is Wellington. An
act was introduced by Hon. W. R.
Spicknall of this city and passed va
eating, first, all the vacant portions
of Central Park addition situated in
the northeast part Of the city and
known as the Staub land; second, the
two blocks lying east of A. Graft res
idenCe on East Harvey avenue, tract
known as Highland Park addition;
third, two blocks situated in Sylvan
Heights in the northwest portion of
the city and owned by Hon. W. J..
Lingenfelter. If these laws are void
and inapplicable, then the owners Of
these tracts are not exempt from pay
ment Of city taxes, and the legislative
griSt contains eighty-three pages Of
worthless stuff. At the time that
these bills were introduced, Hon. W.
R. Spicknall protested against any
and all such special legislation on the
ground that it was unconstitutional.
He was confronted by the assertion
that dozens of such laws had been
passed and were being enforced ard
hence they could grind out another
grist and satisfy the interested par
ties. He insisted that all the specific
bills should be incorporated in one
general bin that would be alike appli-
cable to all cities of a certain class,
the very thing which AttOrney-Gen-
eral Dawes now insists should have
been done. Despite the arguments of
Mr.. SpiCknall and few others, the
bills were passed In regular order and,
seeing that the grist must be ground,
Mr.. Spicknall stopped the clamOr here
BY tossing in one for this city.-Mail.

Won't Report Without Paw,

Topeka Capital.
The legislative committee which
had charge Of the investigation of
the Topeka asylum muddle is threat
ening not to convene again in this
city for the purpose Of hearing the
arguments and making report to the
governor unless some means are de-
yiSed whereby the members of the
committee will secure pay for services
already rendered.
Should the committee take such
action the reports in the case against
Householder and Waite as members
OF the state board of charities will
not be made. Stenographer Wick has
said that he will not turn over the
transcripts Of the evidence unless he
receives some assurance that the
money for the work is to be forth
coming. The committee has already
reported 70 the governor recommend
ing that no further action be taken in
the cases against Mrs. DR.. Kniberg,
assistant superintendent Mrs. Emma
D. Pack, matrOn and James Butler.
steward. This recommendation was
made when the three persons resigned.
The governor liquidated a large
amount Of the expenses already in
CURED in the asylum Investigations
by the use Of his contingent fund. In
fact the contingent fund for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1895, was con-
sumed by the payment Of the ex-
penseS of the three Investigations.
Some of the members Of the commit
tee, the officers and the employees and
the witnesses have been laboring
under the impression that the COVER
nor would continue to pay them out
of the contingent fund which is avail
able July l. The amount is $1,000 for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896.
Acknowledgement F. B. Dawes has
rendered an opinion IN which he says
that the governor can not use the
contingent fund to pay expenses
which we're incurred prior to the
time the appropriation was available.
This makes it impossible for the gov
ernor, after July l, to use his contin-
gent fund to pay the expenses of the
asylum or any other investigations
which were conducted before the
money was available.
There is no alternative and it seems
at this time that the members of the
investigation committee who have
not been paid, together with the wit
neSses and employees will be compelled
to wait an appropriation by the legis-
lature to secure remuneration for
their services.
A Republican said yesterday that
some of the members of the commit
tee would not care to take chances on
the legislature; appropriating money
to pay expenses incurred in these in
VestigatiOnS.

Occupation Taxes.

Daily Nail.
Today's papers inform US that the
city of Atchison has abolished its
occupation tax on merchants and the
professions. The mayor claimed that
the tax was a necessity from areyenue
point of view, but an occupation tax
is so universally detested that the
council abolished it. Moreover, there
is a very serious question whether any
occupation tax, levied for revenue
purposes, can be enforced under the

A Romance of the Border,

About two years ago Bill Dalton,
Bill DoOland and their gang held up
a train near GAINESVILLE, Texas. While
the members of the band were rifling
the express car DOOlin held The pass
engers in their seats by the persuasive
use of Winchester. On the car back
OF the smoker was pretty girl who
was going to the ChickaSaw country to
teach school, and her face seemed to
attract the outlaw, for he inquired
where she was going and her business.
A few months later good looking
fellow began to be seen in the
vicinity of Purcell, where the girl,
Belle Bailey taught school. The two
became friends and then lovers.
People warned the girl against Bal
lard, as the man called himself, but
the young lady paid no attention to
them. About a year ago Deputy
Marshal Spears happened to ride into
the place where Miss Bailey taught
school and found there a man Ballard.
The recognition was mutual. Both
went for their guns, but the stranger
was the quicker of the two.
Get down off your horse" he COM
manded when he saw he had the drop
on the officer, Spears obeyed.
Il won't kill you" said Ballard. "be-
cause | want to reform if you'll let
me, but l don't propose to be shot in
the back. Unbuckle your belt and
throw it away. Be careful how you
do it or you are dead man"
The deputy Obeyed and was left
bound with his own handouts. Dur
ing the melee the girl stood as if pet
rifed. As she saw her lover about to
turn away she said: "who and what
are you?"
bill DoOlin," replied the man. l
want to reform but they wont let
me-"
Common rumor had it that Miss
Bailey did not give up her lover even
after she knew who he was. She lost
her school and six months ago she dis.
appeared. No one knows just where
the pretty school teacher drifted to.
but it is fact that for the past year
DOOlin has been very quiet and for
four months no one has seen him in
the territory. Sensational telegraph
icreports sent outin regard to the fight
with the notorious Bill Doolanr
have proved fakes in every instance.
Judge Foster of the United States
district court Thursday filed suit in
the Shawnee district court against
Maj J.K. Hudson of the Topeka Cap
ital for libel. The cause of the
trouble was an editorial in the Capi-
tai recently, charging Foster with in
terfering in the contest between pres
ent State Printer Snow ana Hudson.
The paper referred to Foster as
legal tyrant," judicial cadayer,"
accusing him of drawing a salary as
district United States Judge for SER
vice he was not able to perform. The
Two men have long been enemies.

Indicate as surelya as any physical symp-
tom shows anything. that the organs
and tissues of the body r not satisfied
with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from the
blood, and if the blood is thin, impure,
or insufficient, they are in a state of re-
volt. Their complaints r made to
the brain, the king of the body, through
the system, and the result of
the general dissatisfaction is what we
call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable explana-
ton of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have the
healthful nourishment they crave. Ner-
vousness and Weakness will then give
way to strength and health,
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.
