She Is Kept From Getting to Work by
the InactiOn of the House.
Mrs L c. Hughes, the chief enrolling
clerk of the house, is just now the most
sought after person around the state
house. II Legislators are bothered by
people soliciting places, Mrs. Hughes
lot Is ten times more unenviable, for she
is beset with legislators She cannot ap-
pear on the floor of the house. but she is
at once espied and hemmed in by a
swarm of members each anxious to gain
her ear, and Mrs. Hughes is clever
enough TO make every member go away
with the self-satisfed feeling that he has
fixed things all right. In adrOitness and
skillful political fencing there is no rea-
son to fear the chief enrolling clerk
would suffer in comparison with senate
rial managers.
But just now Mrs Hughes is pro-
voked- She wants to so ahead with her
appointments and is delayed by the in.
action of the house on the disputed CUES
ton of whether her clerks are to be
paid by the folio or So per
day. All those who feel sure
their proteges are on the list want
the pay to be 50 a day SO the number ap-
pointed will be large. while those mem
bers who are not in the position to gain
favors are permeated through and
through with an all possessing sense OF
economy and a love for the poor tax
payer
If you members who want clerks ap.
pointed don't get this thing settled in the
house" Mrs. Hughes says Il am going tc
settle the matter myself" Mrs Hughes

No WORK No PAY.
Representative AIeCarthy's Bill to Pre-
vent the Laws Delay.


Representative C. C. Mccarthy of JEFF
ferson county, has EN- bodied happy idea
in bill, and has not made it undiscov-
cradle by hiding it in a labyrinth of
words, and surrounding it with a luxu-
rance of impenetrable verbiage. The
bill is to expedite the transaction of bus
mess in the courts, and prevent the long
delays that so often occur in the trying
of cases. The laity have for years
sent up cry for some remedy for the
laws delay, but this bill states the case
so directly, in such Ineligible Englis h
and in such a clear. straightforward
commonsense way, that it is perhaps
doubtful if it has much chance of its be-
ing made into a law. The gist of the
bill simply is, if judge doesn't tran
sact the business of the court he can't
draw his pay. That is something
even a judge can understand without
taking it under Advisement. 1t is some
thing indeed that he probably wo uldn't
have to look up authorities on.
The bill reads: mo judge of any court
of record in the state of Kansas shall be
allowed to draw or receive any monthly
salary unless and until he shall
take and subscribe before an officer en-
office of the secretary of state an affida-
Wit that no cause, motion or matter in his
court remains undecided that has been
submitted for decision for the period of
ninetytdays."
A similar law is in force in California,
which proves that it is practical.

INCIDENT SENATOR BAKERS LIF
Shot Through the Body With a Bull
Meant for D. r. Anthony.

Meant for D. r. Anthony.
In 1880 Lucien Baker was shot through
the body by Tom Thurston, notorious
character of Leavenworth, who had
aimed a 45-calibre bullet at his enemy,
D. R Anthony, and missing him. hit his
lawyer friend, Lucien Baker, over 400
feet distance The shooting occurred al
the corner of Fourth and Delaware
streets, in Leavenworth, where Thurston
and Anthony CHANGED to meet
Thurston had killed his former friend,
". w. Embree, also a desperate charac-
ter. Embree was an eighth blood negro,
but the Caucasian in him forced him to
the front in politics, and he kept the
town in a stew of excitement. He early
aroused the anger of D. r. Anthony, and
finally their quarrel eliminated
in a shooting scrape, in which
Emhree shot Col. Anthony through
the body. Afterward Thurston and
Embree fell out and in the inevitable
shooting Embres was killed, and, de
Tended by Lucien Baker, Thurston was
acquitted.
In his troubles with Embree, Anthony
had incurred the anger of Thurston, and
although he had killed Embree, Thurs
ton kept up his warfare, resulting in the
attempt to kill Anthony as stated, at the
corner of Fourth and Delaware streets
The bullet went wide of its mark. anC
went whistling down the street, frs
taking off the ear of a man and ther
passing through Mr.. Bakers body from
left to right Dir. Baker was confined t
his bed sixty days, but is now sound il
body as ever.
Thurston was convicted and sent to the
| penitentiary for a term of years. Gov
ernor Humphrey pardoned him. and b.
went to Washington where he began (;
war upon ex-Gov. Click who had re
| fused to pardon him. He also obtained
q government position at Washington
and year or two ago died there.
