ARE BONDS WORTHLESS {?
Topeka Lawyer Says Abstracters Should
Give New Bonds.

A Topeka Lawyer Says Abstrhcters Should
Give New Bonds.
H. c. Root is after the Topeka abstract
ers. He asked the county commissioners
today to order all the abstracters in To-
peka to give new bonds. He says
that nearly all the old bonds are
worthless, as they are signed by
men who have no financial standing, and
some of the signatures are of men who
have been dead several years
The law compels an aDstracter to give
$4,000 bond to the county against any
damage the county or individuals may
sustain, and the bonds which were given
say nothing about the liability to indivi-
duals.
The commissioners took no action,

in Iowa.
JEFFERSON. Iowa, Feb. 19-Judge
Church has rendered an important de-
cision here touching the saloon business
in connection with the Mulct law. Some
time ago F. H. Stepphun and ]. NJ.
AIders of Carroll, engaged in the saloon
business. After few weeks they quar-
relied and Stepphun brought suit in court
for dissolution.
Alders demurred, claiming that the sa-
loon business was illegal and that the
court could not take cognizance of an
illegal business.
Judge Church has sustained the de-
murrer and the case was thrown out of
court, practically making the saloon
business in Iowa, even if operating un-
der the Mulct law, legal outcast, yet
amenable to the law

a Dark Horse.
CHICAGO, May 31.-The ninth annual
Chicago road race, covering course of a
fraction over eighteen miles, from the
Grant monument in Lincoln Park to
South Evanston and return, was run yes
terday, and resulted in victory for Homer
Fairmon, of the Chicago Cycling club.
There were 52S entries Fairmon started
from the min. 40 sec. mark in the handi-
cap, and made the run in the riding time
Of "a min. and 36 secs. Last year he rode
in the same event, but fell before COM
pleting the circuit AS he has not been a
factor in any other races, he must be put
down as a winning dark horse.
The most remarkable work OF any Of
the riders was that of George l.. Emerson,
of the Englewood Cycling club, who
started from the 23O mark and finished
second in 90. IA, securing tine $500 prize for
best time. He was not thought capable
of the ride he accomplished yesterday. In
1893 he secured third time in the Pullman
road race, but since that time he has not
figured prominently, excepting some fast
work on the track at Rockford Ills, in

No, dear Record, we are not opposing the
interests of the borough of Shenandoah
when we show up Richard Morgan, your
Shenandoah correspondent. The fact is
the boot is on Dickey's foot. For three
years we exposed the shortcomings OF the
Borough Council in the interest of the
taxpayers, but during the whole period
Dickey either defended the acts, or con.
doned them by his silence. At that time
his tongue and hands were tied by pick.
ings on contracts for supplying police
helmets, ETC., and the membership of his
father.in-law in the Borough Council.
AS soon as the old gentlemen's term ex-
pired and when some one else got the con-
tract for the helmets Dickey commenced
to kick. The HERALD opposed with all
its power the plunging of the borough
into unlimited debt while Dickey sane
toned it and the sentiment of the people
today is the best evidence as to who has
been opposing the interests of the Dor
ough's taxpayers" The HERALD had no
father-in law to curb its moral courage.
