Upheld.
PRUDENTLY.

COLUMBUS, O., March 9.-The Ohio
National Guard military commission APP
pointed by Governor Mckinley to inquire
Washington Court House by Ohio troops
under command of Col Alonzo B. Colt,
while defending a negro prisoner from
being lynched, sustains Colt Governor
Mckinley has endorsed the report.
The governor in his endorsement of
the court of inquiry: 1.-The crime which
was the preteXI for the unlawful assem-
blage and the riotous conduct which fol-
lowed was revolving in the extreme and
merited, as it did the condemnation of
law, the court and all good citizens.
1.-The crime horrible as it was, how
ever, was no justification for the acts of
lawlessness and violence which were
permitted by those who in passion,
sought to add to one crime still another,
and whose plain duty as citizens was to
preserve, not to break the peace of the
country"
The governor then outlines the affair
at Washington Court House, October II,
in which the prisoner was being taken
from the Jail to the court room to enter a
plea of guilty when the mob interfered.
Having reached the court room with
their prisoner, and then having
been sentenced to twenty years,
the full extent of the law, the
officers of the county and the military
remained there. beseiged by the mob
until the shooting followed, on account
of an attempt of the mob to break into
the building, she unlawful assemblage, -
says the governor, neither needed the
warnings of the officers nor of the citi-
zens which were repeatedly given.
Under this grave prOvocation," con-
tinues the governor, Colonel Colt and
his command behaved with rare pru lence
and forbearance."
1t is further stated by the governor
that the troops were present at the re-
quest of the sheriff. and that it was clear
ly the duty of the sheriff and the troops
to protect the prisoner.
The law" says the governor, "was
upheld as it should have been and as
believe, always will be in Ohio, but in
this case at fearful cost
1 3'Lynching,'' says the governor, ''cannot
| be tolerated in Ohio. The law of the
state must be supreme over all, and the
agents of the law, acting within the
| law, must be sustained
| The endorsement closed with a strong
testimonial to the presence, and judg-
ment of Col. Colt and his men,"

DON'T WANT TAYLOR.
Objections to Judge Clark Going Outside
the District for His Clerk.


the District for His Clerk.
There is lively scramble for the posi-
ton of clerk to Judge Clark of the new
appellate court 1t has been rumored
that the place is to be given to C. A. Tay-
lor, the assistant superintendent OF in
surance under Judge Snider, and the re-
port has caused CONSERVATION among the
other applicants
They think that Judge Clark has no
business to go out of this division to ap-
point his clerk. Mr.. Taylor has always
claimed his residence in Rice county,
and said that he intended to return to
that county when he left the Insurance
commissioners Office. Rice county is
not in this division, but that county was
formerly the home of Judge Clark.
Some of the other candidates for the
place are W. A. Shook of Kansas City,
who was the clerk in the attorney gen.
erals Office during the Populist admins
tration, ex Police Judge s S. King of
Kansas City, Councilman s. B. Bradford
of Topeka, and J. B Chapman of Topeka.
The salary is 500 per month.

MARKET LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange. Real Estate Building.
Wheat opened strong at SIC advance
over last night, caused by firmer cables
and large cIearances for the week.
There seems to be a better feeling all
around since congress adjourned. Every
thing seems to be on rock bottom on ac-
count of the financial depression that
has prevailed, but now the outlook is
more encouraging and we think conf
dence will soon be restored and that we
are to see much higher prices on wheat.
The market has been depressed so long
that it is figured the rebound will be
great. and is sure to come sooner or later.
Partridge, the long time bear. has
grown horns and admits that it is like
finding money to buy wheat at these
prices.
The Cincinnati Price Current is very
bullish, and the crowd is afraid to go
short at these ridiculously low prices, and
run to cover every time the market looks
little strong. We advise buying on all
breaks.
Corn opened strong with lee advance
over night, and although trading was
light the market gradually advanced aud
closed at the top never losing any of its
strength.
Everybody is waiting for corn to de-
cline little in order to purchase some,
and are standing by and watching the
market gradually advance, slow but
sure. We are firm believers in higher
prices for corn and have been advising
purchasers ever since it touched 43
| cents few weeks ago. Think we will
see rs cent corn before another crop.
Oats are firm; trade small.
Provisions-Quiet but firm; market
has been narrow and trade light. Re-
ceipts of hogs are still heavy, but the
cash market is higher and we look for
better prices on provisions as soon as the
| heavy run of hogs is over.

A Case of Spontaneous Ignition.

The fact is we'll known that petro-
1eum spirit, or benzine, is largely
used in the silk and wool industries
and in chemical cleaning works as a
solvent for greasy impurities 1t is
extremely volatile and infamma BILE,
and has often been suspected of being
the cause of those mysterious fires
which occasionally break out in
works and factories where it is much
used. One who has studied this phe-
nomenon declares that the ignition
of this spirit is spontaneous, and is
caused by electrical excitation-that
is in certain states of the atmosphere.
particularly when it is cold and dry,
the spirit becomes excited and ex-
hiblts sparks and flashes of light, to
the accompaniment of cracking
sounds, and the ignition of the spirit
may take place at any moment

A Colorado Dog Is Matched Against
George GouId's Wolf Hounds
DENVER, March 9.-Charles F.
Hoeckel, whose greyhounds have been
noted coursers in this region for de-
cade, several years ago took fancy to
the Barzois and secured the thorough
bred puppy Wake, which he desired to
use both as racer and to attempt to
cross with his greyhound stock to i'm
prove coursing qualities.
The dog proved to be a wonderful
racer and MIR. Hoeckel, having heard a
great deal of the dogs owned by George
Gould, is desirious of giving them an
insight into Jack Rabbit tricks. He ac-
cordingly issued the following challenge:
"Watke, the only thoroughbred Rus
sian wolf hound that has grown up in
Colorado. This dog is entered in the
coming bench show to compete with
George Gould's pair of wolf hounds.
Wake is open to run any wolf dog in
America for money, marbles or chalk.
Colorado wolves are barred.
