cut into substantial chunks about six
inches square, the back Of each piece
consisting of the crust, thus allowing

systematically attacked with strokes

cleaning them, nor does the operation
take as long as one would imagine.
The crumps are swept up and burned.

sprinkled with five per cent. carbolic
acid solution. The floor is washed

for Washington I was informed that
would find him there. When l reached
Washington I was informed he was IN
Kansas. So far as my information
goes. he is in neither place.
What do we want him for? Well,
you will remember that the Democrat
ic state central committee met last
spring for the purpose OF considering
the nomination of a candidate for cn:ef
justice. A committee OF lawyers was
appointed at that meeting to decide
whether it was necessary to elect a
chief justice this year, and the meeting
adjourned to reassemble at the call Of
the chairman, whenever the srb-con-
mittee was ready with its report mat
report has been ready for two mon his
now, and We have been waiting Tor the
chairman TO call US together. Want
a convention Of the Democratic OF
Kansas for the purpose of securing an
honest expression of sentiment On the
question Of silver. am convinced that
the party in Kansas is practically unan
imous in its support Of the white metal,
and we want an opportunity 70 eS-
press that sentiment. 1t is in my opin-
ion a more important consideration
than the nomination Of CHIEF justice.
I believe the election of David Martin
is a foregone conclusion.
For myself do not know but hat IL
would be a wise and patriotic thing TO
make his election unanimous and set
tie in Kansas the theory of non -r7rti-
san judiciary. But on the question Of
finance 1 believe that the Democracy
of Kansas should fearIessly take a
stand in convention, right now, On the
question of silver.
Hon. Eugene Hagen, another member
of the Democratic central committee
but one who antagonizes Mr.. Overmcv-
ers free silver opinions. said to report
er today that he really did not know
where Mr.. Richardson was, but had
an idea that he was in Chicago or
Quincy. Why the state chairman was
hiding out from his ciamorous Kansas
constituency Mr. Hagan did not under
take to say, but he was not willing
to consent to the reasons advanced by
the free silver wing of the party.
Another member Of the state centrol
committee put it to the reporter in this
wise:
"You see Johnny Richardson has just
received an appointment from Pr"si
dent Cleveland which nets lin the
spendthrift sum of s45 a month. That
has made an administration nan CT
Johnny. He has become a gol 1bug CT
the yellowest hue and is now staying
away from Kansas with the idea thai
his absence will prevent a me- ling If
the committee and subsequent con-
vention, which would be certain IL
adopt a free-silver platform.
Another prominent Dem ocratic FOL
itician gave the reporter the wise nudge
beneath his fifth rib today, and said:
Johnny Richardson is all right.
He'll turn up o. K, but don't you be-
lieve that he has been captured bvthe
administration with the bait cf s45 4
month job. 1t is an insult to the Gem
ocracy Of Kansas that its state chair
man should be put off with a place so
insignificant as that, and John ought
to Indignantly decline il. No. you may
wager John is hot enough at the admin
istra ton
But all this talk does not answer the
all-absorbing question of Where IL

PROHIBS FALLDOWN
CAN'T GET A CONVICTION IN THE

Cases are Dismissed-Political Kings

Kansas.
Topeka, Sep. 7.-(Special)-S Slowly
but surely the political magnates who
rule Kansas from Topeka are having
their eyes opened on the prohibitory
sentiment in Kansas. Their eyes op-
end wider than ever today when a
dispatch from Abilene was printed
in the Capital. the Prohibition organ.
Abilene is one Of the prize prohibit
ton towns of Kansas. The newspa-
pers there are all prohibition to the
core and talk little else. They up
braid Wichita and Leavenworth, TT
Scott and Atchison for their viola tons
of the prohibitory law just as the
Hutchinson papers do, when as a mat
ter Of fact the law is violated in Hutch
inSon and Abilene and in all towns
in Kansas just as openly as It IS IN
Wichita
And what is more they cannot secure
convictions as the dispatch in the Cap
ital from Abilene shows. Two men
were acquitted, the jury disagreeing
sed. This looks very much as though
prohibition was bowling success. The
dispatch is as follows.
Abilene, Kan. Sep. 6.-District court
has this week been almost entirely
occupied with the liquor indictments of
the late grand jury. William Shook,
was tried and the jury disagreed. John
Barrett was tried and acquitted Frank
Sias was on trial today. The jury
found him not guilty. The cases
against George Roher and NJ. J. Null
lin were dismissed.
In the Shook case Judge Humphrey
made this ruling on evidence that is
interesting as a new phase in liquor
law prosecutors:
The jury is not bound by the
mere statement of the witnesses that
the article was beer or whisky. The
mere fact that the beverage or medicine
contained whisky as one of its ingce1i-
entS would not be sufficient to warrant
a conviction. The test is: Did il con-
tain enough whiskey so that it was sub
stantially whisky or did il contain
whisky enough to make it intoxicat-
ing?
