c. s. Jobes. Esq, the new bank COM
missioner, was in the city last night
and a reporter for the Eagle showed
him the following clipping from a Tope-
ka paper that is in opposition 10 the
administration. The paper says:
Mr.. ]. D. Bradley. a Harper county
lawyer who lives at Attica, the home
town of Dir. c. s. Jobes, the newly ap-
pointed bank commissioner. has Just
sent a Topeka man a certified copy Of
some court records which do not show
the new bank commissioner up in an
enviable light.
Lawyer Bradley says that in March.
1890. Mr.. Jobes filed a suit in the district
court Of Harper county against q man
by the name of George II. Young for
$4,000 damages for defaming his .god
name and character because Young had
said that JObeS was thief and was
robbing TIE creditors of the N-tica
sugar mill and stealing from the Attica
Sugar company.
Soon after this suit was field Mr.
Young filed his answer. and when The
answer was field and before. the suit
came to trial Jobes dismissed his case
Lawyer Bradley has now sent a Tope-
ka man a certified copy of the answer
filed in this case which he says caused
Jobes TO dismiss his suit for damages.
in his answer after denying that ne
had used the words credited to him, iir.
Young said that if he did use them
he was justified in so doing, for the -ea-
son that said words were and are true
in substance and fact, and that said
plaintiff was guilty of systematically
robbing the Attica Sugar company and
the Kansas State Sugar company. by
virtue of i,is office of receiver of same.
And his unlawfully, willfully and inten-
ti0naliy so managed and conducted his
said trust as such receiver and had so
used and disposed of the moneys, funds
and property that had cone into his
hands as such receiver that the cred

justly and unlawfuliy deprived of the
benefits of the same in part and that the
plaintiff was not damaged by said words

Mr. Young then denied that he ever
knew or had cause to know that plain
tiff as such receiver or otherwiSes sus-
tanned good name, fame and character

In one section of his answer Mr..
Young tells what Mr.. JObes' neighbors
say about him. This section reads as
follows:

siderable attention as being the work Of an
organization Of 5000 students

New York,s Latest Hotel.

One of the most typical of American hotels those
palaces of luxury where every want and wish are
anticipated, is the Albemarle. Path street and
Broadway, which will be opened, after having
undergone extensive alterations and renovations
about August l. 1t is situated in the very heart Of
the city, facing what is, undoubtedly. the most
beautiful Of our minor parks Madison Square. The
principal theaters, shops and public places are
within short walking distance.
Its capacity has been increased by the addition
Of another story, and several ingenious devices have
been applied to its mail, telegraph and call sys-
TENS, making them singularly complete and eff
fectiye.
1t would be difficult to e1aggerate the beauty Of
the decorations, or the exquisite taste with which
they are adapted to the several apartments, from
the charmingy appointed cafe, restaurant, reading
and reception rooms to the living apartments whose
appointments convey mingled suggestion Of home
wood floors and rugs in a hoteE What cleanliness
they ouggest! Probably no other hotel anywhere
possesses this feature.
The cuisine will be the best the market Affords
The hotel b fitted with sanitary plumbing, and
every precaution of construction and arrangement
to prevent fire has beeen taken.
The proprietor Is Mr.. o. B. Libbey, for twenty
FIVE years the host of the famous BrevOort. a house
and man alike known to travellers from every civ
ilized country.

THE ELKS ADJOURN.
VIM. G. Meyers Elected Grand Exalted
Ruler.

Ruler.
In view of Wednesday nights accident,
yesterdays meeting Of the Elks was not
so largely attended as the previous ses-
sion. The first matter brought up for con-
sideration was the unfortunate affair, and
the Grand Lodge adopted a resolution ex-
tending sympathy to all members of the
order who were themselves or members Of
whose families were injured in the acct
dent, and instructing the grand trustees to
inquire into the condition, physical and
financial, of the injured Elks.
The committee on laws and appeals re-
ported adversely on the proposition to es-
tablish state grand lodges, and to make
the present Grand Lodge supreme lodge.
The new ritual of the order was presented
and adopted. 1t is said to be unlike that
of any other order, and distinctively Elk
ish in character. Reports of other commit
tees on routine business were also read.
The afternoon session was devoted to the
consideration of routine business, includ-
ing a number of unimportant amendments
to the constitution. The place Of the next
meeting was left to the grand trustees, who
subordinate lodges before January l next.
These officers were elected: Grand ex-
allied ruler, VIM. G. Meyers, Philadelphia !;
grand esteemed leading knight, George A.
Reynolds, Hartford, Conn.,: grand esteemed
loyal knight, B. NJ. Allen, Birmingham,
H. McDermith. Columbus, Ohio; grand
treasurer, Percy G. Williams, Brooklyn,
N. Y; grand secretary, George A. Rey-
nolds, Saginaw, Mich; board Of grand
trustees. W: c. Vanderbilt, Boston; Jos: B.
Loube. Richmond. Va. Edwin B. Hay,
Washir gton, D. c.; grand tyler, George w.
June, Indianapolis.
The convention then adjourned.

NoroRIETY SEEKING BusYBODIEs,

Senator Hill's Characterization of
New YOrk's Police Commissioners.
Senator David B. Hill has written two
letters in reply to requests for an opinion
as to the propriety Of requesting the gov
ernor to call an extra session of the legis-
lature for the enactment of more liberal
excise law in New York city. In one to
Theodore M. Roche, president of the Young
Mems Democratic Union. he says:
II should certainly favor a suggestion If
believed that it would result in any prac-
teal relief. I realize the arbitrary, harsh
now being enforced by the busybody and
notoriety-seeking police commissioners of
your city; but fail to discover any effect
ual remedy in the suggestion Of an appeal
to the governor and the present legislature.
1t is evident that Gov. Morton would not
grant the application, and If granted, the
present legislature would not afford the
relief desired Those who are urging a
legislative session seem to overlook the fact
that the Puritans are now in the saddle,
ton was born in Vermont, and apparently
inherits the illberal tendencies and the
prejudices on the excise question which
characterized the rabid republicans Of that
state.
"Relief can only be anticipated through
the action Of democratic legislature to be
chosen next fall, with a democratic major
ity sufficient to pass a liberal measure over
governors veto.''
The second letter written to BENJAMIN
Hoffman of New York is Of similar tenor.
