Record Of County Surveyors.

The application for writ of man
damus brought by County Surveyor
Ruth against the auditor of Thurston
county, to compel the latter to turn
over certain road records for transcrib-
ing, was denied by Judge Reed, for the
reason that the act of the late legis-
lature does net authorize o county
auditor to part with. the records of
his Office. The Judge is of the opinion
that the intention of the law is that
the surveyor should compile his records
by collecting them from various sour
ces whence they are to be obtained.
The decision sustains the contention
of the surveyor as to what chould be
of record in the surveyors Office.
ceeded against by all the collectors of

Cabinet had under consideration the
advisability of suspending the collec-
ton of the tax until the Supreme
Court had passed upon its constitu-
tionality with full bench, and it is
said that it would have been suspend

upon the necessity of getting as much
money as possible out Of the tax, even
if some of it should have to be paid
back under later decision of the
Supreme Court. 1t is regarded as
certain that the case will in the near
future be reargued and decision
reached by full bench.
There is great relief in administra-
ton circles over the unofficial state
ment that Nicaragua had reached a
satisfactory settlement with England,
and hopes that it will soon be officially
confirmed. There was a dread that
Nicaragua might defy England and
call ON this country to live up to the
Monroe doctrine. That,as ex.Con-
gresham Everett would say, would
have deposited somebody in a cavity.

MANY GOING TO MEXICO.
Fever of Mexico and Canteral America rag
ing Here.

VIII Tague, city ticket agent of the
Santa F'e road in this city. says that
since the first day Of January he has
sold more tickets 30 Mexico than in all
the seven years D ring which he has
been connected with the Santa Fe sys-
tenn in Wichita. There seems to be Il
fever on for going to Mexico said he
and it is getting worse every day"
He is right. There are now fifteen or
twenty persons in this neighborhood
contemplating making their homes in
Mexico. Burt Nillison went yesterday
and the entire Millison family, except
Ralph, will follow soon. MIR. Millison
however, is going more for the benefit
of his wife's health than because he
likes the United States less. II does
not cost so very much to so to Mexico
as people generally think. A ticket to
the City of Mexico from Wichita can
be bought for SIS and a return ticket
fer s65.
There l. one thing. however. that peo-
pie do not generally understand abuot
Me xico. and that is IL You die there
you cannot come back. Under the
laws of Mexico corpse cannot he
shipped on a railroad train. and there
is no other way of being brought away
from there except by wagon. AS Mex

slider this carefully unless they prefer

GREAT TOWN FOR BABIES.
Assessors Have Found Over Sixty Pairs
of Twins in Wichita.

That electromagnetic element which
DR. Richardson has discovered in such
large quantities in Wichita, and to
which he attributes the great enter
prise of the Peerless Princess, caused
quite a good deal of discussion yeSter-
day. Judge Reed. who dabbles in all
kinds of philosophy, has thought of
the subject a good deal and he says he
sees no reason why the theory is not
a good one. Other thoughtful men
have also given their Endorsement 10
the theory.

yesterday. I'VE want him to explain to

highly interesting one. and reporter

them from Doug Caldwell. but that
gentleman was not in. As the Second
ward is the champion baby ward of the
city the reporter hunted UP Assessor
Francis who is taking the census over

MICKEY sLADE WAS CAUGHT.
Harry County Lawyers Wants Him Kept
Gus of the Penitentiary for a Season.

Out of the Penifentiary Tor a season.
Judge Wall was keeping the tele-
graph wire hot between here and Des-
Moines. Iowa, yesterday. He and I'D
O'Bryan are defending G.. w. Rogers
in the famous Harvey county record
burning case. What caused the tele-
graphing was the following from the
Des Moines Register of last Monday
under flaming headlines:
Ed Harris, one of the men now on
trial in the district court for attempted
burglary last Sunday night at 316 West
Ninth street, has a record. Yesterday
G. s. Bowman, a lawyer of Newton,
Kan. arrived to secure the release of
Harris so that he can appear as wit
ness in q sensational case at Newton.
March %, 1898. the county court house
at Newton was destroyed by fire, and
under peculiar circumstances. Suspi-
ciCn pointed to George w. Shirley and
George W. Rogers, the latter a local
abstractor.
Shirley admitted that the court
house was fired as q result of a con-
spiracy between Rogers and himself
and testified that he hired Harris TO do
the firing to enhance the value of Rog-
ers' abstract books. Rogers was con-
victed. The supreme court reversed
the decision of the lower court. and
Rogers second trial will commence at
Newton next week. As Shirley has dis
appeared, Harris is an indispensable
witness for the state. The Newton
lawyer was inclined to be doubtful as
TO the success Of his mission to Des
Moines. The question viii be argued
before Judge Spurrier Monday MORN
ing and Colonel Mackenzie viii assist
Mr.. Bowman"
The Registerpof the following day
contained this pardgra ph:
THE jury in the case of the state VS..
Harris and Raymond. returned a YER
dict last night finding the men guilty
as charged in the indictment. The
crime is burglary in the night time, and
the statute under which they We're in
dicted provides for a sentence of life
imprisonment or any term of years.
They Will be sentenced Friday"
Ed Harris, alias Mickey Slade. is the
important witness used against Rogers
in his first trial. He was held in Jail
pending a trial somewhere in the north
part Of this state and was released on
bail furnished by Harvey county and
never appeared for trial.
Judge Wall telegra phed the county
attorney that Harris had admitted on
the witness stand at Newton when he
testified against Rogers that he him
self. was a burglar and that he was an
all round thief.
Judge Wall is urging on the Iowa
authorities that Harris is "a dangerous
man and ought not To be liberated I'M
der any circumstances. That Harris
would testify against Rogers under
condition that his bond be forfeited
and he allowed to escape as was the
case in the first trial.
Rogers attorneys say that the Har-
vey county attorneys are trying to
have the sentece of Harris postponed
SO that he can be used as witness. as
he could not be so used if sentenced to
the penitentiary. An attorney in Des
Moines telegraphed Judge Wall last
night that the Harvey county author
tiles had offered to furnish bond for
Harris if the sentence is postponed.
