Resolution to Adjourn Next Thursday
Defeated in the Senate.
The only time the matter of the final
adjournment of this session of the legis-
lature has been mentioned was by con-
current resolution introduced by Senator
Reilly of Labette this morning. This
resolution provided for an adjournment
next Thursday, February %, at noon.

pires at that time 1t is possible that the
Legislators will magnanimously decide
not to "count" Sundays and hold over
another week. There is enough to keep
them busy for many weeks yet. Under a
suspension of the rules the resolution
was considered at once. 1t was defeated
with seven senators voting in it's favor,
eight against and about half not voting.

MORNING SENATE.
A Short Session of the Upper House
Held Before Noon.


Held Before Noon.
The house bill in relation to municipal
bonds, enabling cities of more than
$4,000 people to issue bonds on the
strength of benefits received from Open
ing street to pay the assessed damages
therefor, came near passing in the senate
this morning. 1t had nearly passed when
Senator Sterne appeared on the scene,
and made such strong protest that the
consideration of the bill was de-
ferred by unanimous consent. Senator
Sterne said he wanted to confer with the
city officers of Topeka about the bill, and
he had been unable to do so.
When street is opened in a CITY of the
first class the benefits must be equal to
the assessed damages The damages
must be paid before the street is opened,
and as the benefciaries must have time
the city must pay the damages out of its
own pocket and depend on the taxpayer
for eventual remuneration. In the case
of Kansas City, Kan, especially, there
is no money il the city's pocket
to advance, hence this bill to issue
bonds to pay the damages, based on the
benefits resulting. The bill was intro
duced by Representative Allen and
championed in the senate by Senator
Taylor. Mayor Barnes is up from
Kansas City lobbying for its pas
sage. The tit of the bill is:
''An act supplemental to an act pro-
viding for and regulating the manner OF
assessments of benefits and damages in
taking private property for public use,
and change of grade of any street or
alley, in cities of the first class having a
population of over 10000, with the addi-
tiOnal authority of said cities of the first
class of issuing bonds to pay damages
assessed as aforesaid"
At II o'clock the senate went into the
committee of the whole and considered
a number of local bills on the calendar
and after an uninteresting session of an
hour, adjourned.

some talk of whitecapping. aud the min

This condition was brought about by
an over Jealous minister and foolish
conste bic The parsOn IS known as Rev.

Bruce Davidson. During the past week
or ten DAYS a revival has been in progress
in Greenleaf, and things have been live
ly. Among other persons who belong to
the church of which Rev. Dir. Martin ID
pastor, is Mrs. VIM Thompson. Her hus-
band was formerly an Atchisou railroad
man, and was known here as 'Cupola

several years ago, and short time there
after he aud his wife separated, since
which time he has remained away from
that town Mrs. Thompson has been one
of the leading workers in the Method
list church, but recently story WAS
circulated to the effect that her morals
were flexible. 1t was claimed that she
was in the habit of receiving gentle
men callers at unusual hours OF the
night.
The story came to the ears of Rev. Mr..
Martin. and he decided to investigate the
matter for himself, and engaged Consta-
BILE Davidson to assist him. Several
nights ago the two men went to Mrs.
Thompson's home ana effected an en-
trance to the house by lSmoving screen
from one of the windows. They hoped
by this means to secrete themselves in
the house and find out what was going
on. After entering the house the men,
in passing through the bed room of Mrs.
Thompson, found her and her children
sleeping. The ministe stumbled over a
chair and awoke the sleepers Mrs.
Thompson set up 3 cry of burglars and
neighbors rushed TO her assistance, and
before the intruders could make their
exit they were recognized. Thew ex

Wheat-There was a strong opening
this morning. followed by a dull ahd
featureless market Cables were lower
and northwestern receipts larger than
expected, which frightened timid longs

is hard to bull wheat at this time of the
year when receipts are the heaviest, but
we think it is lowering around rock bot
tom. Cash stuff is going into good
strong hands, and as soon as the present
crop is safely stored in elevators there
will be.a higher range of prices all around
Wheat bought at these prices and
properly margined is a good safe invest

gin will hold safe through the worst, and
prove quickly profta BILE.

WICHITA, Sept 20.-The United States
of America took hand in the Jack Dav-
idsou liquor case yesterday aud Assistant
United States Attorney Mason appeared
in Judge Reeds court and filed his mo-
ton to quash the subpoena duces tecum
issued by the court to Colonel Huffman
and Henry Huffman to produce internal
revenue records as evidence against
Jack Dav' dson.
Mr. Mason asked for the discharge of
the Huttmans on the following grounds:
First-That said recoods are not re-
quired to be produced by them under
the said subpoena under laws of the
United States and the state of Kansas,
and it is against public policy for same
TO be produced.
Second-lt is a rule of the Internal
revenus department and the treasury de-
partment of the United States and said
w, E Huffman and Henry Huffman
have orders from the honorable commits
sioner of intern al revenue not to produce
any records of the internal revenue de-
partment in the courts of the different
states of the United States under a sub
poena as served in this case.
Third-Said records contain no evil
dence that is material to the trial for the
case in this court.
''If the court please" said Mr.. Mason,
81 will suggest as one reason why these
records connot be produced. The rec
ords are according TO the, laws Of the
United States aud if this court can bring
the officers into this court all the courts
in the district can do the same thing and
the revenue officers would be travelling
around all the time and they could not
attend TO their business and would be
compelled to close their Office.
''In the local option states it would be
worse and even wards of q city having
prohibition would have a right to the
books of the revenue officers. In such
cases it has always been held that the
revenue officers cannot be compelled TO
produce their books because such a
thing would be opposed to public
policy"
Judge Reed took the matter under ad-
visemeut and in decision today sus-
tanned the motion to quash the sum
mons. Revenue books, therefore. can
not be produced in court as evidence.
