RAILROAD SAYS NO.

The board of county commission
ers are having little trouble with
the railroads, says the Commoner.
Several new county roads which
necessarily should be passable
throughout their length Tor the
convenience of the public have for
some time been almost useless, be-
cause the railroad over which they
lead can not be crossed. After
these roads were completed, except
the railroad crossings, the 0. h. d
y, management was notified to com
plete it's part of the construction as
soon as possible, but no attention
was yaid to these repeated admon-
itions. The board of county COM
missioners therefore concluded that
the ONLY alternative was to inStl-
tute legal proceedings, and at their
August meeting made an order
directing the prosecuting attorney
to commence action against the
company by which it would be COM
PEELED to put in a crossing at Glen
wood.
The matter again came up before
the board last Monday, and it was
found that the prosecuting attorney
had taken no action. AS his rea
son he stated that it is his belief
that the person at the head OF the
corporation must be cited to appear,
but as he is a receiver and under
the direction of the federal court it
becomes necessary, In order to sue
the receiver to obtain permission
from said court under which he
acts. This step, however, he had
not deemed advisa BILE to ia Ike with
out the commissioners consent be-
cause of the increased costs which
would result, and also because it
had been impossible for him alone
to attend properly to this matter
and also to the twenty-eight GRIM
inal cases on the docket for trial be-
fore the superior court.
The commissioners then offered
to overcome the latter difficulty by
the appointment of an assistant but
the prosecutor thought that with
hard work he will have all the cases
in such shape as to be aqle to make
an effective prosecution. 1t is there
fore highly probable that proceed
ings against the railroad company
in the matter herein set forth will
be postponed until the October
term of the superior court.

The Water at the New Well of the Water
Company is Clear and Clean.

The Water at the New Well of the Water
Company is Clear and Clean.
The new well at the Topeka water
works is completed and water has been
furnished from it for several days. The
well is forty sight feet in diameter and
extends sixteen and half feet below the
water line of the river. Its capacity is
100000 gallons a day.
The fltering process, which the water
goes through, is only the natural one
through the sand, but the results are said
to be SO satisfactory that go small an OBJ

resulted, it is stated, in an increase of the
pressure, the increase being ten pounds

A new engine of 100000 gallons ca
pacity per day has been ordered to take
the place of the 100000 engine. and
word has been received that it will be

Kansas Congreg ationalists- The general
association of ali the churches in Kansas

As the sect name implies, every Con-
gregational church is republic within

portance. Addresses will be deliv-
cred by leading Congregationalists
of Kansas. among them Governor E. N.
Morrill,, Rev. DR.. Cordley of Lawrence,
Rev. DR.. Dougherty of Kansas City, and

the church workers greatly, but they
have met with liberal response that in
sures place for each of them. Mem
bers of the three Topeka churches of
that denomination will entertain all of
the guests.

THE COURT IS NOW ON.
A Big Crowd and an interesting
Docket.
HORSE TRADERS HAPPY.

Judge Starbuck Presides, and the
Pleasant Impression Made Up.
on the People Of Orange County
During Former Visits Suffers
In no Way by His Rulings.
Court week, with its attendant
crowd Of defendants, witnesses,
horse jockeys and other outsiders,
which looms up three times a
year as an oasis in the lives Of
Hillsboro people, has come in all
its glory. A typical court it is,
too, with witnesses in the court
house swearing the whole truth
and horse traders in the back lots
swearing anything to make a
trade.
The regiment Of attendants,
who make it a point to come to
Hillsboro during court week, are
here, standing around on the
street corners swapping neighbor-
hood news and politics, and ex-
pressing their views on the curren-
cy question.
Judge Starbuck seems 10 be
giving pretty general satisfaction
so far as our information goes,
and Is causing law breakers to get
a hustle on themselves.
The lawyers from adjoining
towns are here, cussing and dis

Calvin had to whack up a $4,000

$500. -.

THAT Thcs. H. Martin, president
of the Tobacco Association and
A. A. Latta. foreman of his prize
room were there, charged
with planning and attempting to
execute the burning of Mr.. Mar
tins five story prize house oil
Thursday morning last.
The charge seemed so mons
trous and unreasonable that it
was hard to make people believe
it, and Monday much business
was neglected while trying to find
out facts. When Mayor Peay
took his seat on the Judges Stand
in the County Court house for. a
preliminary hearing, the room
was filled with the best citizens of
the town. Fred A. Green ap-
peared for the State and Judge
R. w. Winston and R. B. Boone
for the defense. After considera-
BILE time was spent by the discus
sion of the warrant, Latta was put
on trial.
The first witness put upon the
stand was Moses Irvine confden-
tial clerk and book-keeper for
Thos II. Martin. His testimony
was in effect that Latta said to
him that he, Eatta, had been
offered s250-to burn the prize
house, and advised him Irvine not
to sleep in the house. That he
thought he HAD dissuaded Latta
from doing so, and that in conse-
quence he said nothing to his en-
ployer about it, but did tell his |
friend, Arthur Lyon, ofthe CONVEX
sation, and asked him to watch
the house while he was gone. |
This testimony was coroborated
by Lyon. Testimony of all the
witnesses was that the house was
set on fire. IL was stated that
had the house been burned the
Insurance would not have covered |
the loss.
Messrs Boone and Winston spoke
strongly for the defense. They
were followed by Green for the
State, who made a ringing speech,
proving himself a match for both
opponents.
Mayor Peay bound Latta over
to the Superior Criminal Court
which meets in January, in the
sum of $1,000.
The entire town feels that a
has befallen il, but gen.
orally the people are disposed not
