A Minister'S Promotion.

The many Abilene acquaintance Of
Rev. +. D. Altman OF Kansas City
will be interested in the fact that he
has accepted the presidency Of the
Lutheran Theological seminary, stu.
ated temporarily at Atchlson, Kas.,
to which he was appointed few days
since. The position is one Of consid.
cradle Importance and dignity, as the
Lutheran church proposes soon to
plant a large seminary in the West,
probably at Omaha, and make it a
notable institution. Just at present
the only seminary course the denom-
nation is able to furnish here is that
connected with Midland college, at
Atchison, and Of which he will have
charge.

The anti-joint war which Is sweep
ing over Kansas has a side-line Of its
attacking force in the person Of
County Attorney Smith who today
made movement that caused consid-
cradle pain and grief. Quickly yet
with a stern and uncompromising
presence calculated to send terror to
the hearts Of wrong-doers, he served
notice on all alleged joint-keepers
that this thing must stop and at once,
or sooner. Furthermore he init
mated that unless this order was
obeyed there would be trouble ahead
trouble Of a deep red hue and
with stings in its claws. The
hint was taken at once and over
the one-time places Of refreshment
there broods silence broken only by
the faint "tap-tap" Of knackles on
the door. Somebody wants to get in
and can't. Sam Smith has spoken
and his word goes. How long it will
last time only can demonstrate.

WILL NOT JOIN IT.
xorri, County Opposes the Judicial
Convention.


When the judicial committee OIL
1891 met at Junction City last Satur'
day Morris county was not represent
ed. Its committee members did not
appear. The call for the non-parti.
san convention was issued by the
Geary and Dickinson members,
Marion having no one present. The
Council Grove Republican thus serves
notice that Morris will not join the
convention: There is no occasion
for any call for convention at this
time. The question Of the constitu-
tionality Of the act adding Marion
county to this Judicial district has
been presented TO the supreme court
and in all probability will be decided
at the September term OF tnat COURT
90 that there will be two months in
which to call a convention and nomi-
nate candidate for Judge and then
Marion county will know its fate. II
compelled to remain part Of this
district surely the people Of that
county will be entitled to take part in
naming the man who is to be judge
Of their district for the next four
years. We want to assure the people
Of Marion that so far as Morris coun-
ty is concerned no action Of any COM
mittee will be endorsed by our people
that does not give to every county in
the district a fair deal"

WE TOLD YOU 50,
The Court House Surrenders to the
printArs.

xAAu0l0s
The press again demonstrated its
mighty power yesterday afternoon
when the newspapermen did up the
court house baseball players by a
pretty little score Of 10 to IS. The
guardians Of the peoples records
have been feeling little ilossy ever
since they wiped up the lawyers and
have been walking around with a
chip, so to speak, on their shoulders.
But the guardians Of the peoples
rights took it upon themselves to
knock the aforesaid chip of and did
it too.
The newspaper men don't play ball
very often but when they do their
practice in mailing campaign lies and
and similar exercise comes in good
good stead by giving them hard
muscle, while as for wind--well, that
is another matter.
Levi Humbargar staked all his hope

ment Of disputed points.
1t would be perhaps too much to
say that the printers played fault
less game-for they didn't, but they
got there just the same. W. D. Stru-
bleof the Monitor who has an Old
Sleuth lightning detective way of be-
ing a lawyer one day and editor the
next was Of course the catcher. His
experience in catching on to political
pointers fitted him for that. Sher-
wood Strother was pitcher, the News
skill in pitching into various matters
made that appropriate. The REFLEc-
TOR was represented at various points

parts Of this mundane sphere with its
Incompatible news service (Only 10

The court house players were at
some disadvantage. They had too
many substitutes. OF course some
ill-natured people said that they
would have played better II they had
had more substitutes, but we won't
say that. Their mimeograph daily
did not appear and they have no
means Of defending themselves. Jim
Smiths son Claude played for him.
Ward Davis represented A. G. Romig
and Arthur Young, deputy supern-
tendent, was there for that office.
The other players were Matteson,
Pattison, Kielfer, Halleck, Leemastcr
$. 5. Smith. Matteson pitched for
awhile and Pastison and Kieiler took
turns trying to catch the balls that
he sent past the home plate with
force. Then Ward Davis pitched and
Matteson caught with the delectable
result that the printers made s tallics'
The progress Of the game hardly

was done in the first inning. After
that 1t was straight business. The
printers had innings and made 10
runs; the court house, 8 innings and
