THE title of ''watchdog of the trsasu-
ry." which chung to Congressman Hol-
yielded to Auditor of the Treasury Hol-
comb. Not content with holding up the
sugar bounty on account of it's alleged
unconstitutionality, he now declines to
pay Minister Matt Ransom's salary on
the ground that it was increased while
he was a senator, and his appointment is
therefore illegal. There is a suspicion
however that this action on the part of
Mr.. Holcomb is being taken for the pur-
pose of keeping enough money in the
treasury to see the Clevelend admins

HANDY WITH THE GUN.
SpOrtsmen Who Are Good Dove Shooters
1t Is q Good Table Bird.

Probably the most successful dove
shooters in Topeka are ]. C. Elliott and
Reid McCarter. These gentlemen have
made some magnificent bags this sum
mer, but aside from being experienced
hunters, they are both expert field shots,
and are thoroughly equipped for the
sport.
1t is not generally known that the
Carolina pigeon or turtle dove, which
may be found in great abundance on the
stubbles at this season of the year, is an
exceptionally fine table bird, and is con-
sidered by many to be inferior only to
the quail and jacksnipe
1t affords excellent sport to the gun
ner, and being very swift of wing and,
like its domestic cousin, tenacious of life,
it requires considerable skill to make a
score of 80 per cent
To hunt them successfully one should
be supplied with plenty of shells loaded
moderately, say three drains of powder
and one ounce of No shot for r.
bore gun.
If he intends flushing them, about 10
o'clock in the morning is the best time,
as they are then feeding in the stubble
and remain there until the heat of the
| day, when they leave for the shade of
the woods. The pleasantest method of
| shooting them, however, is to To-
| cate q uelO WA0r0 bn6y are III
the habit of feeding, freshly cut millet
patch preferred, and then station ones
self, about o'clock in the evening, near
the middle of the field, shooting them as
! they come in for their evening feed. The
shooting on the fight is much more diff
flcult than when the birds are flushed
! but the conditions are so much more
comfortable that the sportsman is amply
compensated for the extra number Of
birds he may miss.
One difficulty in dove shooting is tc
find the dead birds. They give out very
little scent, and owing to the hot weather
in which they are hunted, the best dogs
often fail to find them.

THE LAW AND THE WHEEL
Judge Gunster Says . Bicycle Has the
Same Rights as other Vehicles.

Judge Gunster Says q Bicycle Has the
Same Rights Other Vehicles.
Judge Gunster of Lackawanna county
has defined in an elaborate opinion the
legal status of the bicycle in Pennsy1-
vania This opinion establishes the fact
that the bicycle is vehicle and has the
same right on the highway as other We
hicles. Its proper place is upon the
street or driveway and not on the side
walk. If bicycle traveller has occasion
to stop on the way he may leave his We
hicle for a reasonable length of time on
the side of the highway or street placed
in proper manner SO as not uDduly to
interfere with the rights of others while
he is calling at the residence or place of
business of an abutting owner or occu-
pant, and the person who negligently
Injuries a vehicle SO left is liable for the
full amount of the damages caused by
his negligence.
This is rational law, and when under
stood by the drivers of horses will re-
| ieve bicycle riders of much annoyance.
The average driver considers the bicy-
| clst as an intruder and a nuisance, hay
| ing no rights to the road and no title to
| consideration. Many of them, so far
from trying to avoid collision with BIZ
cycle resting by the curb, will go out of
| their way to smash it. When they IN
derstand that fun Of this character
means the price of new bicycle out Of
their own pockets, they will take lit
! tie pains to drive around and not over
a resting bicycle. The bicycle men and
the horsemen have exactly the same
rights on the street, and each must ex-
ercise those rights SO as not to interfere
| with the other s.=PhiladeIphia Press.

So IT seems that the government can
use silver to meet it's obligations when it
suite a petty, childish, ignoramus of a
cabinet officer to order it There was no
refusal to pay out silver to the employees
in the department of agriculture because
it was needed to secure the outstanding
certificates, as was the case two years
ago, when Sherman notes were pre-
sented and silver demanded. Secretary
Morton ordered certain of his employees
paid in silver on the plea that they fav-
ored silver money, but in reality az a
punishment for holding opinions differ
ent from his. If they could be paid in
silver whether they wanted it not, why
could not the brokers be paid silver when
they asked for it. This action of the
secretary adds to his record of incompe-
tency and ignorance, the additional quail
ifcation of petty meanness. J. Sterling
Morton is pestiferous fool.

A SUBSCRIBER writes to the orAI--
JOURNAL asking if in the opinion of this
paper the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law has led to an
increase in crime. It would be extremely
difficult to trace any crime directly to
the repeal of the Sherman law. To the
extent that anything which cripples or
destroys the industries of a country pro-
duces enforced idIeness and poverty, and
idleness and poverty are both productive
OF crime it is possible that the repeal of
the Sherman law may be responsible for
some criminal acts in this indirect way.
The fault does not lie SO much with the
repeal of the Sherman law however as
it does with its enactment or rather its
execution. The law was recognized as
bad law soon after its passage by large
majority of the people of all political
faiths. 1t was a bad law as compared
with the one i. displaced and was rem
dered much worse in the manner of its
administration. It was never honestly
executed. When the law was passed the
people believed, and had a right to ex-
pect, that the notes issued under it would
be redeemed in silver Had that been
done it could not have worked very
serious injury in so short a time. But
this was not done so erybody agreed at
once that the law was a failure. The
fight against repeal was not because
anybody thought it a good law but be-
cause they saw in that act the death blow
to silver. They preferred the ills they
had to others that they knew not of.

MAD ON RECORD MAKING.
So Many Kinds of Records No One Can
Keep Track of Them.

Zone reason why l feel no great con-
Germ for racing said a cyclist recent
~, els that l am utterly unable to keep
track of the records. Almost every day
I read in the newspapers about some
new lowering of the mark. The different
kinds of records are SO numerous as to
be bewildering.
There are records for fractions Of a
mile and for every unit up to 25, and
for every five miles beyond; there are
unpaced records, and tandem paced rec
ords, and quad paced records; records
for standing start and for flying one.
records in competition and out of it =;
class A records and class B records; road
records and track records; club records
records at each track and over ever
course; state records and city record
records for the distance ridden in It
minutes, and so on up to six day
there are one legged records and OIL
armed records, and finally 1 see MAJ
has established a new record for riding
half mile backward.
''This opens a new field which may
duplicate the present one. Thus we
might have records for backward riding
at all the distances, paced and unpaced.
with flying or standing start, on road or
track, in competition or out of it, and
so on ad infnitum. Meantime l am 60
ing to continue riding as fast or as slow
as l please, and let the cracks smash
all the records they can think of. -

TOPEKANS WHO IRRIGATE.
Two Young Men Have "a 200 Acre Farm in
Graham County.

Two Young Men Have "a 200 Acre Farm in
Graham County.
Two Topeka young men, Messrs. j. II.
Burge and N. B. Burge have just com
pleted the construction of a 200 acre ir-
rigation plant on their farm west of Hill
City in Graham county.
Mr.. n. B. Burge is stenographer to
Judge George W. Clark of the appellate
court, but his brother is on their Graham
county farm and has been superintend-
ing the construction of their irrigation
plant.
Spring Creek flows through their farm,
which is but half a mile from Morland, a
station on the Union Pacific, and it is by
damming this creek that they have pre-
pared for irrigation.
The creek was condemned for irriga-
ton purposes, and it is supplied with
water in the dryest seasons, and has a
fall of seventeen feet to the mile 1t
furnishes all the water necessary for their
large plant
Mr.. N. B. Burdge says when the dam
gates are open the flow of water is from
$4,000 to 10000 gallons an hour.
Next year they expect to put their en-
tire farm in potatoes, cabbage and
onions, for the Kansas and Colorado
markets.

A Mystery in a Pond Near Ottawa
Kansas.

There is a pond in Ottawa that is a
mystery in that, notwithstanding the
fact that it contained no water during
the Drotracted dry weather of last sea-
son, it is now well supplied with sun
perch and mud catfish. 1t is claimed
that no fish have been planted there and
it is matter of conjecture where the
present supply came from.
1t is not at all unlikely that before the
pond went dry last season it contained
fish and that they had deposited their
spawn, which remained fertile until the
pond was again filed with water, when
the fish which now inhsbit it were hatch
ed Both the mud cat and the sun perch
are rapid growers, which fact would ac-
count for their being of medium size
