The publisher Of the Ottawa Journal
ought to find some way of getting even
with the Abilene Reflector for credit
ing one Of Joe Bristow's idiotie roasts
of the POpulist party to the Journal.
The Ness County Fair Association
made its fair this year pay expenses
and has a nice balance in the treasury.
A pretty good showing considering the
condition of financial matters gener-
ally.
The New York Voice prints q table
showing that 5,95l gallons of beer were
sold in Kansas during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1895. It is evident
that the Voice has not overestimated
the amount.
Somebody has nominated Gen. Csld'
well for United States Senator again.
This nomination has been regularly
made every Senatorial election since he
came to the State. He never got any
votes, however.
Ex-County Clerk Fishback, of Win
field, got into a political argument the
other day. The other fellow developed
a weighty argument, it seems, as Fish.
back felt scale weight collide with his
face as it closed.
F. G. Brooks, Populist candidate for
Clerk of Rush county, was beaten.
COMMANDMENTS Chief Russell, of the
Sons Of Veterans, who lives in that
county, spent most of his time election
eering against him.
The Wichita Beacon says that the
redeemer Police Commissioners have
changed conditions down there to the
extent that the city now has fifty or
sixty unlicensed joints where it pre-
viously had thirty saloons.

A Colorado man has filed an spplica-
tion with Governor Morrill, for posi-
tion as State hsngmsn provided he is
allowed fee of $40 per victim. AS a
special inducement he states that he
would make no extra charge for hang
ing State officers.
Morrill, says some of his appointees
ride on passes and swear to and collect
railroad fare. That seems to be terri
BILE crime in the eyes of our Governor,
who, as member of the Board of
Managers of the National Soldiers
Home, did the same thing.
The commissioners appointed to at
tend to the erection of suitable monu-
ments to Kansas veterans on the battle
fields of Chicksmaugs and Chattanooga
have made their report. OF the $1,000
appropriated 81, ,472.63 was expended.
The monuments cost $1,000.
Sol Miller says the Populist admin.

The bids for the erection of the i'm.
provements at the Soldiers Orphans
Home at Atchison were all rejected,
The lowest was $4,000, while the sp,
preparation is but $4,000. The re-
deemer architect is great guesser on
the cost of buildings and will be in'
Vited to make new plans for less ex'
pensiVe buildings.
A week or two before election it was
given out that no passes would be given
State House employees to enable them
to go home to vote. The result was
that r. H. Semple, of the Bank Com.
missioner's Office, was the only State
House employe who paid his fare to
his home. Every other employe, from
janitor up, went home to vote and rode
on passes.
There was an election held out in
Scott county the other day, and the
fellows who were figuring on carrying
the county for Republicanism sc
strong that it would preclude any pos
sibility of the re election of "Old Man"
Pancake to the Legislature next year,
are not talking for publication. The
returns don't put great deal OF "sun'

The Lawrence Journal intimateI
that Lingenfelter, whom Morrill, hal
just appointed on the Hutchinson Re
fOrmatoFy Board, is Democrat. II
such is the case, Morrill, has again vic
lated the law. The statute creating
that institution provides that no two

Mrs. Emma B. Aldrich, of CsWkeI
City, Department Commander of the

amazed at the amount of work being
done in all departments. She highly
complimented the officers. 1t might
be well to call attention to the fact thai
this institution is still under the con

Kansas newspapers have had the cit

credit for the magnificent fight he

the good, live local Populist papers are
largely responsible for the result and
should be given due credit.

LOUIS STERN CASE.
A BERLIN NEWSPAPER RATHER
SEVERE on THE NEW YORKER.
Developments in the Matter nave

p.tbv lie Mt First EnJoyed-Pro-
ccedings Against Him.

BERLIN. August 3.-The Tageblatt
publishes an editorial article to-day upon
the case of Mr.. Louis Stern. of New
York. who was arrested at kissingen
short time ago for insulting Frelherr Won
Thuenger, Deputy Commissioners Oh the
Spa. In It's expression OF the opinion
concerning the case, the paper is ra'heT
severe upon Mr.. Stern. who. through
the later developments of the matter mas
lost much Of the sympathy which was
at first bestowed upon him.
"The tiresome Stern case" the rage
blatt says, "is beginning TO assume
political coloring. The fact that the
Americans sojournIng at kissirgen VINO
were not acquainted with the clrcuh-
stances. espoused Sterns cause, does
honor to the esprit du corps among them'
but We shall be surprised II the American
Embassy Identifies itself with Stern
case. Stern did not act properly ana
Americans cannot expect to be treated
differently from Germans at German
watering places.
Upon reading this article, the cores
pondent OF the United Press sought an
Kofering. the Bavarian Minister 10 Prus-
STA. who said that the case had no politi-
cal importance whatever. adding: The
American charge daifairs recognizes this
fact, and has very properly refrained
from troubling the German Foreign once
with representations but relying upon his
personal and friendly relations with the
Bavarian Legation. he has obtained that
Offices support. which was alone given
him from motives of courtesy towards tho
Embassy of the United States. Neither
The Bavarian Minister nor the
Bavarian Court can interfere with the

him that the government had used It's
good offices to cause Baron Won Thuengen
TO withdraw the libel suit he had insti-
tuted against Stern, or plead for IMPOSE
ton upon Stern on the smallest possible
fine.
But the Criminal Court at Schweinfurst
has begun proceedings against Stern, on
the charge of resisting an officer under
paragraph rs, OF the criminal law, and
punishment upon conviction OF this Of
fence must follow. Stern has obtained
the advantage, however. that he VIII be

THE PUBLIC BATH-HOUSE.

fore the Council TO-MOrrow.

One OF the interesting subjects to come
before the Common Council tomorrow
evening will be the resolution of Mr..

ton of a public bath-house.
1t is understood that the Finance Com
mittee will report adversely on the sub
iect. but Mr.. Branch VIII make fight
10 get the scheme endorsed.
He has gotten the city Engineer to
make a drawing for such an establish
ment. and the latter estimates that the

persons. and built on piles. viii cost
s.. 3si 32. IL fioated, like the Westman pool,
off Mayo'ss Island, 1t would cost about
500 less.

eineer Bates is for n structure %X52 IL
feet with 100 dressing-rooms, two toilet
rooms. and an Office. II is proposed for
the depth of the water to range from liz
TO 10 feet. 1t would require only one man
for six months In the year to manage
the pool and the cost or maintenance
would. therefore. be trifiing.
