WHAT ABOUT THE FRAU
The Committee Not Yet Getting at tn
RI al Facts Desired.

The Committee Not Yet Getting at the
RI al Facts Desired.
The Republican city central committee
commenced its work of Fecounting the
ballots cast at the Saturday primary, and
at .. m. had completed the third pre-
cinct of the First ward. The canvass
showed a gain of one vote each for
mayor, and Bird gained one vote for city
attorney, but there were no other
changes.
AT this rate the committee will hardly
complete the count this week, as there
are eighteen precincts to canvass The
result may show very few changes on
the faceof the returns.
1t appears that the recount is largely
waste of time as it will not assist in de-
termining whether or not there have
been frauds as charged Counting the
ballots will not show whether democrats
voted or whether there was repeating or
not.
An examination of the poll books
would show this and that should be the
special care of the committee, to deter
mine whether or not there is evidence
that the charges made are true. There
can be no objection to recount except
that it-consumes too much time.
What the public is anxious to know
promptly is: What about the fraudulent
voting?

A. o. Q. W. MUST MEET.
State Officers in Nebraska Play a Sharp
Game.

LINCOLN, Neh, March 19.-The district
court has ordered Grand Master Tate to
call a meeting of the Grand Lodge An
cient Order United Workmen on the
ground that the constitution of the order
requires such meeting. The lodges of
the state had voted to dispense with a
session in order that the money thus
saved might be used to relieve the dis
tress in western Nebraska.
This is a fight in the order in which
one side claims that the officers are try
ing to hold their positions longer than
the constitution permits.

CRossMAN DENIES THE STORY.

Makes Affidavit COntradicting the Conn
mander of the Spanish Cruiser.
NEW YORK, March 19.-The cable dis
patch from Havana published today to
the effect that the commander of the
Spanish cruiser Conde de Ven
dendito had reported that he
fired on a steamer March 9Th,
off Cape May after signalling her and
was replied to by the hosting of the
British flag on the steamer, has brought
forth an affidavit from Capt. Crossman of
the AIlianca The affidavit is corrobo-
rated by a number of his officers, who
also make sworn statements that the
American, and not the British ensign,
was flying from the staff of the Alliance.
These atBdavits will be forwarded at
once to Washington by the company.
Regarding another cable dispatch from
Havana, which stated that report WAS
current that the Alliance carried rifles
on her south bound trip, the statement
was also emphatically denied by the
representatives of the Panama Railroad
company.

andito. This fact became public today
when the captain of the cruiser reported
that he had tried to stop a strange
steamer and had opened fire on her when
she persisted in proceeding on her
course.
According to the story of the Conde de
Venandito's commander while cruising
off the eastern coast of Cuba on March
9Th he sighted a steamer heading for
Maysi point and shaping her
course to the northeast.
The cruiser hoisted a flag, and the
steamer replied by raising the English
flag. The cruiser again signaled the
steamer proceeded at full speed. The
cruiser first fired two blank shots and
then two solid shots
The.commander claims that he did not
desire to hit the steamer, but that he
fired the shots merely to cause her to
heave to. He asserts that tbs steamer
was but one and one half mile off the
coast when the firing occurred The
authorities here have ordered full in
Quiry to be made into the commander )
/ acts.
1t is reported here that the Alliance
carried 24,U00 rifles south on the trip on
which she was fired at. 1t is also re-
| ported here that they were landed on the
eastern end of the island, also some men
who were passengers on the Alliance.
Those men, it is reported, were taken off
the Allianca in fishing smacks the nlgh
preceding the firing.

RAIN Is GENERAL.
Indications that the Whole State Wi
BE Well Soaked.


BE Well Soaked.
It is raining today all over western
Kansas, and localities which have seen
no moisture for months are being soaked
with q steady drizzling rain which is be-
ing taken W by the parched ground as
fast as 1t falls.
At o'clock this morning it was cloudy
at Wellington and Arkansas City, but no
rain had fallen, but at noon there were
indications that it would rain soon.
AT Chanute, Lawrence, Nickerson,
Emporia. Hutchinson and Dodge City it
was still raining at noon.
The rain will be of incalculable value
as many farmers do not have water for
house use except as they haul it from
great distances and the rain will start the
springs and replenish the wells
The report at the Rock Island general
offices here today is that every mile of
the road in Kansas is covered by the
same rain and there was snow west of
Limon, Colo, which seems to have
drifted eastward after dinner for this
afternoon fakes have. been falling that
were as big as mittens. Over the south
west line the rain is the same and the
reports are that the extreme southwest
part of the state is well soaked.
The Union Pacific report is about the
same, rain all along the line in Kansas
and the jurisdiction of the Missouri
Pacific, which extends southeast as far
as Fort Scott is as wet as the rest and
still raining south of that

To put into the hands of boy or a
girl the two handsome bound volumes
of St. Nicholas which contain the num-
bers for the past year is equal TO GIT
of half dozen story books. In fact,
some of the most popular books Oh the
year for children have first seen the
light in these pages. Here one VIII
find Palmer Cox's irrepressible Brown

Napoleon's dashing page, in EIbr1dge 3:
Brooks "a Boy of the First Empire;
"The Quadrupeds of North America, OF
all sorts and conditions, described by
w. T. Hornaday; and number OF ia
nous horses historic and legendary,
that are very lovingly written about by
James Baldwin. One of the best OF
Rudyard Kipling's Jungle stories,
which have already been accepted as
classics in juvenile literature, is THE
Kings Ankus." In this tale, printed
in one of these volumes, Mowgli and his
companion, the Python Kaa, penetrate
to an underground cavern, where they
find a vast treasure guarded by mon
strous white cobra. c. T. Hill tells Of
the brave achievements OF the metro

BOUND VOLUME OF THE CENTURY
MAGAZINE.
The fftieth volume of The Century,
containing the numbers of the maya
zine for the past six months, has ap-
peared. History, biography, art and
science have adequate treatment, as well
as fiction and the lighter things. Per-
haps the most notable feature of the
volume is Professor William NJ. SlOane's
Life Of Napoleon" which reaches the
most exciting portion Of the great con-
queror's career. There is a profusiOn
of illustrations, including not only re-
productions Of famous masterpieces OF
painting, but also many drawings made
for the work by French, English and
American artists. A suggestive con-
trast in the character Of the two Ma
poleons is furnished by Miss Anna l..
Bicknell's interesting "reminiscences OF
Life in the Tuileries Under the Second
Empire" Max Nordau is represented
by a lively Answer to Ny Critics, "
while Professor Cesare Lombroso dis
cusses the value and the errors Of Nor
dau's Degeneration" which was dedi-
Gated to him. In the line Of fiction there
are the closing portions of Marion
CrawfOrd's Casa Braccio," the whole
of Julia Magruder's Princess Sonia, -
and many short stories by favorite
writers. There Is much in the volume
chat one needs in his library for per-
manent reference.

The business Of the Criminal Court

,erday and Court adjourned for the
term.
The business transacted was quite i'm
porrant. and additional interest attach
ed to the proceedings from the fact thar

ton for new trial in the case of in
dicment No. L, was OverrUled and a
fine Of twenty dollars and costs and
thirty days in jail was imposed. Col
Arnett. counsel for defendant, then
gave notice of an appeal to the Circuit
Court and asked for a stay OF ten days,
which was granted bond being given
fin 5000. Indictments Nos. l to II, in
elusive. were then tried TO the Court,
and there was verdict for defense.
This comes about from the fact that
the indictment No. u alleged that the
0ffense was committed within a year,
and no date being set, a CONVICTION IN
that case operated i'm its general effect,
as a bar 20 any further proceedings
within the time specified.
In the matter Of the application for a
new trial I'm the cases Of Jerry Evans,
ST.. Jerry Evans, Jr., ami Peter S0les,
the motion was granted. These three
parties were convicted at the present
