stole?"
"Well," replied DR.. Stubs, very
gravely, II think there would be bet

The subcommittee of five from each
city of the first-class in Kansas will meet

legislative changes in the charters and
prepare a report for submission to the

The committee for Topeka will recon-
mend several changes in the laws gov

cases.
They will also ask that the law gov

that the county clerk must certify to the
city the amount of erroneous tax assess
ments, false assessments and the proper
ty liable for city taxes bid in by the
county, SO that the city clerk may know
the exact amount of taxes which are not
collectable.

MATSON JURY SURPRISED.
Wouldn't Have Worked Hard, if it Had
Only Known, Says One


Only Known, Says One
The long drawn out session of the cor
oner's jury in the Matson case will not
prove very profitable to the jurymen.
The law evidently did not contemplate
that there would ever be necessity for
a session of more than one day, for it
prescribes that the jurors shall receive
81 for their services. This will give the
jurymen 10 cents a day for their ten
days detective work. The witnesses
summoned are allowed 81 each.
The coroner is the only one who will.
be fairly we'll paid for his time. The law
allows him 50 day and so cents for
each summons issued. SO Coroner Bailey
will make about 500 out of the inquest.
One of the jurymen said to JOURNAL
reporter after the jury had adjourned:
"If had known that we would only re-
ceive 81 l wouldn't have staid on that
jury. We worked hard on that case.
Why, we even worked on Sundays"
One of the jurymen, who offered to sell
his fees to fee buyer, was almost par
alyzed when he was offered rs cents for
his bill against the county. He hadn't
heard that he was only to be allowed 81.

Monday in their efforts to lay Up treas

against their days of adversely which be-
gan with the coming of the new year.
Most of the stocks about town were ex-
hausted early in the evening.
At one or two places the tends congre-
gated in large numbers and formed pools
for the purchase of cigarettes by whole
sale. They would make up a s'4ot" large
enough to buy box containing two or
three dozen packages, and then 1djv-
Wy" would be made, each Individual
fend filling his several pocketsI
As result there is probably not a
member of the fraternity in tDwn and
the smoking is going merrily On as the
buying did by the Wholesale. When
the present supply runs out other ''pots'
will be made up and someone will be
deputized to the 'joint" outside the city
limits and make another Wholesale pur-
chase. This will probably lead to per
manent organization.

lett Scott, the embezziing county treas :
urer, supposed to have been captured by
e mob and lynched on Monday.
They say they have no faith
in the lynching story. Scott
was convicted and sentenced to
five years in prison. He was out under
heavy bonds and it is their theory that
his abductofs were his friends.
They think the job was put up to get
him out of the country and at the same
time make it appear that he was lynched
SO as to relieve his bondsmen. At last
reports no trace of him had been found
although the country around O'Neill
has been secured for the past two days.
