WHO IS GOVERNOR NOW?
If Mr.. TrOutman Is, VIII He Enforce th'
LaW2

If Mr.. Troutman Is, VIII He Enforce the
LaW2
The question that is agitating the pso-
pie around the state house now is, who
is governor? Charles s. Martin says that
Lieutenant Governor Troutman is acting
governor with full executive power
Attorney General Dawes says that he is
not, but refused to give formal opinion
He said that the same rule applies as in
the National government, and that the
vice president cannot act except IN case
Of the death or disability of the presi-
dent.
The question is, if Lieutenant Gov
ernor 1routman should, during the
governors absence, remove the Leaven-
worth, Atchison and Kansas City police
commissioners and appoint boards IN
favor of the enforcement of the law,
what would be the RESULT 1t would be
exceedingly interesting, to say the least,
if such action would be taken.

LOST ON PIXIES PEAK.
A Big Scare Over -Four Young Ladies

A Big Scare Over -Four Young Ladies'
who Ascend the Peak Alone.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug. 8-The
great alarm entertained for the safety of
four eastern young ladies, supposed to
be lost on Pixies Peak, has been allayed
by a telegram announcing their safe
arrival at the summit. The Misses Park
or, sisters, of st. Louis, Ida N. Wright of
Fulton, n. Y, and Auna Wagner of
Currie Grove, Iowa, started to drive up
the peak.
At the Seven Lakes they left their
team and driver and started to ascend
the remainder of the distance on foot,
being deceived by the wonderfully clear
air as to the actual distance. On the
way they encountered a binding snow
storm and nearly persisted before reach
ing a section house q mile from the sum-
NIT.
There they rested, and they then
started back to where they had left their
driver. He in the meantime concluded
from the length of time they were gone
that they had reached the sum nit
and concluded to remain there
until the storm was over. He had there
fore started back toward Manitou when
they reached Seven Lakes
Although fearfully exhausted, the
four ladies' realized that their only hope
was in reaching the station at the top of
the Peak, and again they began the
ascent with many difficulties, often fall
ing exhausted on the rocks They
finally succeeded in reaching the sum-
nit, where they were cared for, remain
ing there until morning.
When the driver reported at Manitou
that he had left them on the mountain
wild excitement prevailed, and half a
dozen parties were at once organized to
go in search of them. There was great
rejoicing when the news of their safety
was received.

FOUR COUNTIES OBJECT.

Tax.

Tax.
So far there are four counties which
object to the university tax levy, Frank
lin, Reno, Sedgwjck, and Smith The
clerk of Reno county has decided to
place it on the books, and it is thought
that the other counties will follow suit
Attorney General Dawes says that the
trouble is that his opinion was misunder-
stood. He decided that the levy had
been made by the legislature when it
was reported that he said that the levy
should be made by the county commits
sioners or clerk. The attorney general
saws that the only mistake made by the
LEGISLATURE was that they attempted to
make the levy perpetual and that can not
be done. He says it is good only for
two Years
