DR.. Stakebrake's Place Near the Chester
field Closed Last Night.
DR.. Stakebrake's drug store on Kansas
avenue near the Chesterfield hotel was
raided by the police last evening. DR..
Stakebrake was found and he imme-
diately gave $500 bond, with DR.. Bailey
and Frank Thomas as securities The
papers did not include a search and seiz-
ure warrant and the premises were not
searched.
DIR. Stakebrake's partner in business,
DR.. Tulles. is also wanted by the officers
on the same charge-of selling liquor.
The police visited the drug store several
weeks ago in search of Tulles, but he
was out of the city and hasn't been back.
A search at that time showed that a
larger stock of liquor was kept on hand
than in any other drug store in town, so
far as is known.
Notwithstanding this. it is said the
drug store has no permit to sell liquor.

SEEMS TO BE TRUE
The Story About the State House
Official
WHO IHSULTED A YOUNG GIRL.

Editor OF tho Wellington Mail Adds
Others.
The editor of the Wellington Mail re-
publishes the story of Editor Ewing
Herbert of the Hiawatha World con-
corning the state officer who made the
shameful proposition to a young girl
who had secured a place as legislative
employe and adds:
An ex-lieutenant governor of Kansas
told this story to the editor of the Mail
during the state league meeting, using
almost the exact words that Mr.. Herbert
uses, so far as he goes. But our in
formant went further. He said that the
gentleman who found this young lady
weeping in the hallway, after learning
what had occurred, went with her TO the
executive office and she told the whole
occurrence to Governor Morrill, Our ex-
lieutenant governors friend being IN
Topeka, Governor Morrill, sent for
him, related the incident to him and ask
ed his advice. "Kick him out Force
him to resign" was the advice given and
insisted upon. 1t was not followed.
We scarcely know how to express our
self upon this subject. No man in the
state did more, according to his ability.
to bring about the nomination of h N.
Morrill, for governor than the editor Of
the Mail; no man worked harder for the
election of the Republican ticket We
knew that the Republican party, as a
party, represented the very best element
of the state. We had unbounded conf
dence in the honor, probity and sta bility
of Governor Morrill, and the several can
didates for state offices. We considered
hocf fi<lrn tod hxyf hn q
publicans for years. We have kept
pretty we'll posted on state house affairs
since the inauguration. Several revela-
tions have come to US. We have been
astounded, shocked, disguised, with just
such discoveries as the above Our idols
have turned to clay and some of them
mighty rotten clay at that.
Now what is to be done. We know of
no legal methods to compel the governor
or any other officer to act in the premi-
ses. But there is no question that the
policy thus far pursued along this line
will not meet the approval
of the Republican party at
large when the facts are known. The
Republican party stands as the repre-
sentative of honesty, morality, and de-
cency in official as we'll as in private
life.
We cannot afford to follow the Popu-
list theory of attempting to cover over or
hush up scandals that have their founda-
tions in facts. The permanent success
of the publican party is far more i'm
pOrtant than the fate of any state officer
all of them combined. The only
course left to every true Republican and
loyal citizen is to expose and condemn
wrong doing, within the party as we'll as
outside of it, in high places as we'll as in
the lower strata.

How He Hired Out to Drive a Team When
He Came West.
Chancellor Garfield, who spent q part
of yesterday in Topeka, in a very ready
conversationalist. As he sat is the Office
of his old friend John MacDonald, chat
ting about incidents in his life, he re-
lated the following story:
"When l came west twenty seven
years ago" said he. 81 was just fresh from
college. got as far as the little town
of Calmar, Iowa. where was stranded.
l heard a man wanted some one to drive
team and hunted him up.
"'I understand said l, that you want
a man to drive and take care of team.
He glanced at my silk hat in rather
suspicious way and then replied: Yes
do want a man.'
"'Well, won't do?' I asked, Il surren-
der to no one when it comes to taking
care of pair of horsea'
"Again he looked at me with an in
credulous smile on his face and said,
well, if you hire to me you will have to
get off those clothes
"'Oh never mind these Clothes 1 re-
piled, 1 have some up stairs in my trunk
just as bad as those you have on
"The remark did not offend him and
he hired me on the spot and we were
good friends from that time.'

is A GOODNESS NOW.
Judges Horton and Thatcher DON'T
Speak to the Governor.
THE STORY COMES FROM ATCHISON.
1t is All Because Governor Morrill,

he is All Because Governor Morrill,
Entimated He Would Appoint Judge
TEACHER Chief Justice.
An interesting story about the recent
change in chief justices of the supreme
court comes back to Topeka via Atchison.
An Atchison man who says positively
that he knows what he is talking about,
says that when Chief Justice Horton
made up his mind to retire he went to
Governor Morrill, and told him he in
tended to resign.
After talking about the matter for some
time Governor Morrill, asked Judge
Horton if he had any suggestions to
make in regard to who his successor
should be.
Judge Horton said that he had been
thinking about it, and he had made up
his mind that there were two men in the
state who should be considered before
all others He then mentioned Judge
Scion o. Thacher of Lawrence and Judge
David Martin of Atchison.
Governor Morrill, seemed very much
pleased with the suggestion, and said
he was $50 glad" Judge Horton had
mentioned Judge Thacher's name first,
as he owed great deal TO Douglas coun-
ty, and this would afford him an oppor-
tunity to pay that debt
Judge Horton then went to Judge
Thacher and told him what had occurred
and proceeded to ingratiate himself with
his successor.
Nothing more was said to Governor
Morrill, about the appointment of Judge
Horizons successor until Judge Martin
appointment was announced.
The Atchison man says he has it
straight that the result of this affair is
that Judge Horton and Judge Thacher
do not speak to Governor Morrill, now.
Judge Horton and Judge Martin are of
course good friends aud the latter's APP
pointment was not unpleasing to Mr..
Horton, as was indicated in his sugges-
ton to Governor Morrill,, but Governor
MorrilPs action is said to be regarded in
the light of deception by Judge Hor-
ton Hence the GOODNESS.

REPUBLICANS DIsGUsTED

State House.

AT the Continuous Revelations at the
State House.
The Mcpherson Daily Republican, stall
wart Republican, says: The charges of
corruption and indecency in the state
house are getting too numerous to be ig-
nored. The STATE JOURNAL has affirmed
that state officer was seen on the streets
beastly drunk. The Hiawatha World
tells a story of state official making iu-
decent proposals to a young lady The
Humphrey administration was turned
down for its supposed rottonness, and
the Lewelling administration elected.
The change was of no advantage. The
scandals of the Populist administration
disguised their own party and a reac-
ton took place.
Morrill, was elected as a reformer. 1t
was argued for him that he was Sun
day school man and that he would give
US pure administration. But what have
we got?
Now the people are getting tired
They can see through the dust which is
thrown. The Rogers jag investigation
may deceive some people into the idea
that we have a highly moral administra-
ton, but they are few and far between
Let there be full and fair examina-
ton of these scandals and let the results
be followed up by appropriate action.
Let these scandals be exploded and
proven false and the World and the
JOURNAL branded az they deserve or else
let those guilty of the charges they make
be kicked out of the state house at once.

Alderman Donohue OF the Third ward OF
this city to-day put into practice a novel
on its first trial proved a great success,
the husband and wife now being fully re-
cOneiled, says a Wilkesbarre special 10
the Philadelphia Press.
This afternoon Charles Dorsey. a color

Donohue on complaint Of his wife, who
charged him with knocking her down and
kicking her. A black eye and sundry cuts
and bruises were sufficient evidence TO
convince the alderman of Dorsey's guilt.
but as there are several children in the
family ne did not like TO send the man 10
jail. as the wife was i'll and could not
support herself.
The alderman first tried what kindness
would do Calling Dorsey to one SIDE he
gave MIN 30 cents, and told him TO make
friends with his wife and promise not to
beat her any more Then he left them
alone. when he returned in half an hour
the settlement had not taken place and the
woman was crying. 1t seemed that Dorsey
preferred going 70 jail 10 staying free ana
working for his family This aroused the
ire Of DOnOhue and he called the negro
into his rear office. DOnohue IS large and
portly, but his handbsll play IS famous,
and despite his 30 pounds he is far from
cumbersome.
Take off your coat" thes alderman
shouted TO the negro
"Wha' 70, boss, queried Dorsey, be-
coming alarmed.
Take off that coat" again Numbered
Donohue. removing his own.
The negro compiled with some trepida-
ton and many doubtful looks.
He was not long kept IN suspense As soon
as DonOhue threw his coat aside he sprang
at Dorsey and knocked him down. AS he
arose he cuffed him right and left and
Knocked him down again. The negro was
shouting for mercy, but Donohue was deaf
and blind 10 all but his purpose and kept
at IL.
For over five minutes nothing was to be
heard by those outside but the sound of
heavy falls, resounding cuffs, and shrieks
for mercy. and when at the end of that
time DonOhue, hot and winded, but alder
manic despite his shirt sleeves and pers-
piration, emerged from his rear office,
dragging limp object behind him, there
was a cheer from the crowd.
Donohue said nothing until he had pick
ed up the so cent piece Dorsey had dropp-
ed. Then he said:
Get some court plaster and keep your
hands off your wife"
The feelings of the negro were expressed
in profound you jes bet l will boss" and
he and his wife went home.
