THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.
Tho City Central Committee Wisely De-
cides to Use it at the Primary.

Tho City Central Committee Wisely De-
cides to Use it at the Primary.
There was large attendance at the
meeting of the city central committee
Saturday evening and there was abso-
lutely no evidence of partisan feeling.
If the members of the committee favored
any candidates the fact did not leak out
during the discussion.
W. A. s. Bird moved that the Craw-
ford county system and Australian ballot
be used in the city primary and there
was no opposition at the time, though
afterward, s. B. Hawkins, one of the
colored members of the committee, said
he did not believe that the committee
should be bound by the vote on the ques-
ton of using the Crawford county sys-
TEN and Australian ballot taken at the
vote was taken at a county election it
should not be binding on the city.
There was very close vote on the
question of holding the primary during
the entire day, but the proposition was
finally voted down and the hours fixed at
from 1 p. m. till Z.
D. C. Naylor thought that the call
should be worded so that none but those
who have been Republicans in the past
be allowed to vote at the primary. He
said that a Democrat should not be
allowed TO vote, even LnOugn ne sWOr0
that he would vote for the Republican
nominee. The place for a man to change
his faith is at the election, not the prim-
ary," said he.
The suggestion was voted down and
the call will read "known Republicans,
which is taken to mean any one who will
swear to support the Republican NOM
inee
The question of assessing the candi-
dates was left with the executive COM
mittee and all candidates were instructed
to leave their names with the chairman,
S. S. McFadden, before the next meet
ing.
L. A. Edwards of the Fifth ward, and
John Putnam of the Third, were named
to fill the vacancies on the committee.
March 16 was fixed as the date of hold
ing the primary.
The committee will meet next Satur-
| day evening.

M'DOWELL'S CHOICE.

G. r. Mcdowell Would Rather Be Po-
liceman Than Councilman.
The police commissioners spoiled
candidate for councilman at their meet
ing Saturday evening. They appointed
c. r. Mcdowell, of the Third ward, as
patrolman.
Mcdowell was the bridge inspector
while the recent repairs were being
made and is an expert carpenter. TWAS
generally understood that he would be a
Candidate for the position in the council
now held by S. Ettlinger, who has moved
to Kansas City. 1t was conceded that
Mcdowell would be strong candidate,
as he came near being elected two years
ago. Couneilmen receive $40 year and
policemen $50 month.
J. E Lucas was the other man ap-
pointed Saturday evening.
S. G. Owens, a member of the old
force, was re- elected.
Officer Jenkins was removed, and the
designations of Officers o. NJ. Capron
and B. f. Massie were accepted. Massie
was elected at a former meeting of the
board, but refused the position.

NO SANITARY OFFICER.
The Police Commissioners viii Probably
Not Appoint.

The Police Commissioners Will Probably
Not Appoint.
It has been surprise to many that the
police commissioners have not appointed
a sanitary sergeant as they are empow-
cred to do. There are no less than fifty
applicants for the place and the number
is increasing daily.
1t is queer provision OF the metro
politan police law which authorizes the
commissioners to elect sanitary officer,
as all the rest of the members of the
health board are appointed by the mayor
and council. He receives a salary of $50
a month and the duties of the position
have been anything but laborious. The
officer is practically independent, as he
does not report to the police after
he is appointed, but is supposed
to work under the direction of the city
board of health. During the Populist
administration that officer served princi-
pally as an ornament, though he never
failed to draw his salary, and this proba-
bly, accounts for the large number of
applicants.
The police commissioners will proba-
bly, turn the office over to the board OF
health and allow the mayor and council
to name the man as they should. He
works under the health department OF
the city and should of course be named
by the health officers.

He is attended daily by County Physi-

He is doing it for sympathy. If he was

JUDICIAL HINDSIGHT.

A Police Judge Who Ran Against
One of His Own Orders.
Charley Hatton. who is we'll known in
Topeka, and is the adjutant of the Kan
sas G. A. R., is the new Republican po-
lice judge of Wichita.
This is to be a redeeming, reform ad-
ministration, it is understood, and Char
ley as part of it, felt his great RESPONSE
bility. Something must be reformed i'm
mediately as starter, he thought, and
began casting about him for prey.
The we'll known morality of Wichita
lelf him but little room, but it was not
long before he found a city ordinance
that was being openly violated in the
face of the peace and dignity of the city
of Wichita as aforesaid.
1t was an opportunity, and on Satur-
day ordered the police to close and keep
closed every butcher shop that dared
violate the Sunday ordinance the next
day.
That night he went to bed at peace
with himself and true conviction that
he had done his duty.
| The next morning Mrs. Charley in
formed her husband that the family meat
receptacle was empty, entirely So
! Nobody but the family would be at
dinner and Mr.. Hatton concluded he
would have veal outlets His son didn't
know veal outlets when he saw them, he
said. and he himself would go and gel
them.
When he reached the butcher shop il
was locked tight
1t was early yet and he couldn't under
stand it.
He ratified the door. The butcher was
inside, but he wouldn't open it
A sour looking individual was stand
ing near with his hands in his pockets.
"What in Atehison's the matter here9
asked Mr.. Hatton.
Locked up" said the sour man.
$'Is Jones, in the next block, open?"
Nope"
"Well, that's. What's the matter
with the idiots, anyhow"
''The fact of the matter is" said the
man, ''We've got a - fool for police

1T WAS AT COOLIDGE

Where That Hamilton County Resubmis-
sion Petition Was Circulated.
To the Editor of the State journal.
l see a letter in the JOURNAL of the
23d from A B. Wagner of Syracuse, this
county. He says that diligent search
could not show that any resubmission
petition had even been circulated in this
county. The trouble with Mr.. Wagner
is that he thinks Syracuse is all of the
county. But Coolidge just happens to
be in the same county and the petition
was circulated here, and by me and nv
name heads the list, and l do not use
liquor in any form.
But 1 would like to get the drop on
the joints aud this is the only way to do
it. The prohibition fanatic and the
iointists are voting the same ticket. The
jointists make more money out of it
under prohibition than they possibly
could and pay a high license. Hence
we find them arraigned against the best
business interests of the state

ing on the senators the need of more
ground for the reform school, and he

House Notes,

Mr.. Eckstein's speech for the branch
normal at Wichita was forceful, logical
and elegant.
1t looked like the house was in an
alb normal condition Saturday.
'If the gentleman from Greeley makes
any more remarks of that kind 1 shall
make another speech" said Mr.. Miller of
Morris, Saturday, and the house trembled
at the threat.
Misses Mittie and Ida Beekman of Ar

Mr.. Beekman is the author of the
brightest gem of the session. Gentle
men," said he, speaking on the normal
bills, "we have been making fools of
ourselves"
Another truism from Mr. Beekman's
speech Saturday was: IF we keep on
in the way we've been going, when the
next election rolls around we will be all
back blowing corn"

Is Quite Within the Range of Possibili-
ties That Women May Soon Vote.
The special suffrage bill which Mr..
Gardenhire introduced on Saturday in
the house of representatives. has caused
no small amount of comment
There has been a somewhat prevalent
impression that all the ladies who petit
toned the legislature in this bill were
Populists, but such is not the case. On
the contrary they are equally divided in
their political beliefs in the two parties
The last suffrage compaign cost the
state $4,000. If this bill becomes law
and is declared to be constitutional by
the supreme court, it will settle the ques-
ton of woman suffrage without cost to
the state Many of the opponents of
woman suffrage claim that their reasons
for opposing woman's acknowledgment
are that large number of the women do
not wish to VOTE
If this bill is passed. the supreme
court will make its decision as to the
constitutionality of the act. 1t case it
declares it valid, then all women wishing
to vote may petition the legislature and
receive enfranchisement
Several prominent lawyers have signi-
fed their willingness to aid the ladies in
their novel undertaking.
The case is certainly an odd one, and
the action of the legislature will be
looked forward to with much interest.
The bill will come up for third reading
in the house this week.

KEARNEY COUNTY RECORDS.
The Bill Has Passed the House and il
dietary Committee Has It.

The Bill Has Passed the House and Ju-
dietary Committee Has 1t.
The people of Kearney county are
very much interested in bill which was
introduced in the house by Representa-
tive f. M. Kelly and is known as House
bill No SO.
This bill proposes to legalize a set of
abstract books belonging to E. R Thorpe.
1t seems that when the Kearney county
court house was destroyed by fire in Jan
uary, 1894, all the records of the Office of
the register of deeds were destroyed.
This set of abstract books in six vol
umes, was complete up to the date of the
fire and if the books are made the legal
records of the county it will be bonanza
for their owner.
The fees for making abstracts under
this bill are fixed at 81 for the first entry;
81 for each subsequent entry; so cents
for each affidavit and 50 for each entry
given to persons not taking a complete
abstract of title
This bill passed the house and is now
in the hands Of the senate judiciary COM
mittee.
Senator Milton Brown says that per-
sonally he is opposed to the bill, but that
most of the people of Kearney county
seem to want the abstracts legalized.
