JUDGE FIELDS LONG TERM

he VIII Have Been on the Supreme Bench
81 Years Monday.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Justice Field
will next Monday celebrate the grand
anniversary of his entering upon his
duties as member of the United States
supreme court. He was appointed to
the office on March 10, 1868, by President
Lincoln, but did not assume the duties
of the position until the Goth of May
following
He was at the time of his appointment
chief justice of the supreme court of
the state Of California, and he desired to
finish the business which had been be =
gun in the court before transferring his
labors to a new field
The eighty-second anniversary of his
+ fathers birthday also fell on the
Goth of May, which was another
reason for selecting that date for
beginning his services in the national
supreme court Counting from the date
of his appointment only three justices
have been longer on the supreme bench
than Mr.. Field. These were Justice
Marshall. Justice Story and Justice
Wayne.
|. Chief Justice Marshall's term covered
thirty-four years, five months and five
days; Justice Story's, thirty-three years
and nine months, and Justice Wayne s
thlrty-three years and five months When
Justice Field went on the bench Judge
fancy was chief justice.
It is said to be Mr.. Fields ambition to
extend his term SO as to make it the
longest on record and he bids fair to be
able to accomplish that result, notwith-
standing he is now almost 70 years old.

DIR. MURPHY'S BUTTON.

Doctors of Kansas,

The Noted Chicago Surgeon Talks to the
Doctors of Kansas.
DR.. J. B. Murphy of Chicago, the
doctor who has recently awakened to
find himself SO famous as the originator
of the appendicitis operation that has
saved SO many lives and as the
inventor of the Murphy anasti-
mosis button that has revolution
lied the matter of intestinal surgery, was
in Topeka for very short time yester-
day, and delivered thirty minute ad-
dress before the Kansas State Medical
society at Representative hall in the
afternoon.
DR.. Murphy is comparatively a young
man and distinctively a very handsome
one. He is little more than six feet
in height, is light of complexion and
strong of feature. His eyes are of deep
blue and his hair is light brown. His
speech was technical, and was on the
subject of "Cen the Mortality in Surgi-
cal Lessons Of the Intestines be Reduced.
and How?" He is good speaker.
With the Murphy button, which is
a little steel contrivance that looks
like two tin whistles put to-
gether, section of the intestine
can be removed, the two ends snapped
together with the button inside in a very
few minutes without the tedious and
dangerous process of sewing. The two
ends grow together, and when it is COM
pleted the button will pass on out and
the trouble is all over.
DR.. Murphy returned to Chicago i'm
msdiately that he had finished. DR..
Alex. Hugh Ferguson, of Chicago.
a noted surgeon, was also expected, but
telegraphed DR.. Black that he could not
come on account of his brothers illness
in Winnipeg.

We can expect SOC wheat in a few

promptly in order TO get in the market
on this rapid advance Everything
points to 81 wheat before another
crop The buying fever is on in
everything, and no one willing
to sell except to take big profits. The big
bears and professional traders have work
ed hard to prevent this advance and have
opened the market off a cent occasional
ly, in order to try and intimidate
holders, but every decline has
been met with wave of buy
ing orders that swept them off their
feet and they finally had to give up the
fight and are out of the market now,
knocked out completely. There is not
single feature left to bear wheat on
and nothing can prevent it sell
ing much higher before another
crop. Cash demand is excellent and
foreign markets are advancing in
sympathy with ours. Crop damage re-
ports of serious nature are coming in
thick and fast and are being confirmed.
There is only one thing to do and that is
to shut your eyes and buy anything

Corn and oats were rather tame on ac-
count of the heavy receipts, but the clos
ing was firm, and we look for higher
prices.
Provisions quiet but firm; not much
doing. We think pork will soon catch
the fever from wheat and twenty foar
hours will add 81 barrel to the price.

HORNPIPE GOES LAME.
Winner of the Brooklyn Will Proba-
bly, Never Race Again.

NEW YORK, May ia local paper
says: Turfmen will regret to hear that
Hornpipe, the winner of the Brooklyn
handicap, on Wednesday last, at Graves
end, has run his last race in the opinion
of such clever judge as his trainer,
William Lakeland
The day after the race when the lad
whose duty it is to care for Hornpipe
went to the horses box to open it and
prepare his morning meal he noticed the
horse was very lame. Trainer Lakeland
examined him and found it was impossi :
BILE for him to walk.
Horppipe had what is called by turf
men a reel or club foot, one of the hoofs
being crooked. The strain of such a
contest as the Brooklyn handicap and
running through the mud was too great
and it is almost too much to hope that
the horse will ever go to the post again.

The Strange Conduct of Local Sentime MT

HoLroN, May 17-This city furnishes
an illustration of the fact that public
sentiment may flop" almost as readily
as many politicians.
For year past the joints of Holton have
been doing q fourishing business with
little molestation, and the city authori-
ties seemed unable to close them. But
the recent election resulted in the ap-
pointment of Sidney Hayden, a stalwart
Democrat, city attorney. Attorney Hay
den, with the marshal made a personal
call on all the jointists and ordered them
to quit. AS result, thev did so.
Mr.. Hayden's new method is to compel
the partners or most intimate friends of
the jointists to testify against them. 1t
has the desired effect-a sure conviction.

NO DEMAND FOR GOLD SOON.

The Bond Syndicate Has Been Guarding
Against Such a Danger, IT'S Said.
NEW YORK, May ia Wall street
news agency says: evidences point to
cleaning up process having been begun
by the bond syndicate. The recent re-
turn to the members of 40 per cent of
their subscription money was first step
in this direction. 1t is uncertain when
the balance will be returned, but there
are those who think that it will be in a
short time.
The calling up from number of the
syndicate members of the extra gold is
another step in the same direction. There
is authority for the statement that the
progress of events in the desired direc-
ton has been good deal faster than the
syndicate expected or even hoped would
be the case.
The development of foreign invest
ment buying on large scale which has
been SO noticeable in the last month has
practically assured the country against
any large demand for gold for a good
many months to come. Most of the
syndicate's preparations were made
against this danger"

He Wouldn't BE Surprised to See Break
up in Old Parties.
NEWTON, May Ex-senator Roger O.
Mills of Texas. was in the city yesterday
The senator talked for awhile on the
present condition of affairs throughout
the country. In response to interroga-
tions MIR. Mills said that he was out
of politics at present and was going to
California to visit a married daughter.
Ia reference to the financial question
Senator Mills asked, "How do you all
feel about the silver agitation in this
state? Down in our state of Texas
forces seem to be about equally divid ed
between the sixteen-to-on men and the
ants
'It seems strange, but it is nevertheless
true that nation of thinking people
win become more thoroughly befuddled
over its finance than over any other ques-
ton thought of by the human brain.
This agitation for or against the unlim-
tied free coinage Of silver has produced
Il very chaotic state of affairs whereof no
man knows the outcome.
cit would not surprise me to see q
break in both of the old parties, to see
the national convention split up and re-
suit in the placing of four tickets in the
field instead of two. AS to the part the
POpulist party will play in the coming
struggle, in my opinion it will have very
little influence There seems to be a
growing belief throughout the country
on the part of conservative thinkers to
the effect that this third party is revolu-
tionary in its aims and principles.
''As for myself, touching the financial
question | am anxious to see the coun-
try settle upon some fixed basis which
will be just and equitable both to the
debtor and creditor.
with egard to the coming conflict be-
tween silver men and anti-silver men the
storm is surely gathering. and no one can
tell what direction it will take. In fact
it is very similar to those cyclones you all
have in Kansas, and which we have in
northern Texas They are seen gather
ing, but no one can tell just where they
will strike. l feel certain. however, that
correct solution of the question will be
found and things will once more come tc
prosperous basis"
Senator Mills is a man possessing the
warm hearted cordially SO indicative OF
the southerner, and in personal appear
ance bears some resem blance to Henry
Watterson. He is decidedly unpreten-
tious in dress and is an easy and agree
