tiff that same were not used to slander
plaintiff in any way whatever, but if said
words. as stated in plaintiffs petition,
were used by this defendant was from
the fact that on or about the
first day of February, 1890,
this defendant had a public sale of his
stock; that plaintiff applied to this de-
fendant to clerk said sale free of charge,
for the purpose of getting the notes
arising from such sale for collections;
that this defendant did SO employ this
plaintiff to clerk said sale; that a few
DAYS prior to said sale numerous good
people. neighbors of this plaintiff and
defendant, came to this defendant and
stated that they had heard that de-
fendant had employed Jobes, mean
ing this plaintiff, to clerk said
sale, and stated if defendant had employ
ed Jobes, meaning plaintiff, to clerk said
sale and collect the notes arising from
said public sale of this defendant that
they, the people, would have nothing to
do with defendants said sale, and would
not attend to same or bid on any of the
defendants property if Jobes, meaning
this plaintiff. had anything to do with
the sale or the collection of the notes, for
Jobes, meaning the plaintiff, was not
honest.
"Thereupon this defendant for the
purpose of protecting his rights In the
promises and to get the people to come
out to his sale and bid on his property
offered for sale at that time, went to
plaintiff and said to plaintiff that he,
plaintiff, could not clerk his sale and
that plaintiff pressed this defendant to
know why defendant did not want plain
tiff to clerk his sale. as a reason for dis
charging this plaintiff for clerking his
sale stated to plaintiff what the people
said about him, plaintiff, and plaintiff
thereupon got mad and brought this suit
against this defendent for telling to
plaintiff the truth"

STIRs UP A FUSS.
The appointment of Mr.. Lescher as Sti
Architect

The appointment of NIr. Lescher as State
Architect
The state board of public works late
yesterday afternoon elected a new state
architect to succeed Seymour Davis
T. Fl. Lescher of Topeka was tbs man
selected out of thirteen candidates for
the place, and he today succeeded Mr.
Davis
The place is worth $4,000 year and
actual travelling expenses. There is a
great deal of dissatis action over the ap-
polntment of Mr. Lescher, as he is said
to be a Populist.
Captain John Seaton, president of the
state board of public works. said to a
STATE JOURNAL reporter today that Dir.
1. Ii. Lescher was elected state architect
because Of his fitness for the place.
Mr. Seaton said, as contractor, he had
had considerable experience with Mr..
Lescher's plans, and had always found
them most satisfactory.
Mike Heery. the Democratic member
of the board, who is also contractor,
said he had had the same experience.
Mr Seaton referred to the fact that
some of Mr. Lescher's opponents had
circulated the story that he had never
built anything but barns, and gave list
OF some of the buildings in Topeka Mr.
Lescher's plans have been used in.
In this list were Judge Horizons resi-
dence, Washburn college chapel, the
Knowles building corner of Sixth and
Quincy, Hamilton hall, Metropoli-
tan hall, The Real Estate build
ing corner of Seventh and jackson,
the Branner block, between Fifth and
Sixth streets on Kansas avenue, with a
solid iron and glass front; the Ettlinger
and Forbes buildings and the new Kel-
lam residence on Topeka avenue, which
is not yet completed.
Mr.. Lescher denies that he is a Popu-
list, but says he did apply for the posi-
ti0n of state architect under the Populist
administration two years ago, but that
almost every man in the state who could
draw a straight line also applied.
Mr. Lescher says he advertised his
business in the Advocate and in State
Printer Shows paper, the Ottawa Jour
nal. which cost him about SO. This is
the only way he ever made Ii contrlbu-
ton to the Populist campaign committee
He says he voted the Republican ticket
straight last fall.
Notwithstanding the members of the
board of public works are standing
squarely behind Mr.. Lescher, it is said
today that he will not be allowed to
make or superintend the plans for the
completion of the state house. The
state house appropriation will be ex-
pended by the executive council and ii
is said that the executive council will
positively refuse to allow Mr. Lescher to
do its work, but will employ some other
man.

VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCES.
WilIiam MeKelvey Bound GuiIty of Cas-

William MeKeIvey Found Guilty of Cat
tie Stealing-His Confederates Escape.
The district court jury, after being out
several hours, returned d verdict OF
guilty in the McKelvey cattle stealing
case. The trial has been long and Bit
terly contested, and almost the entire
population OF Silver Lake was interested
in the case. William McKelvey seems
to be creature of i'll luck to the extent
that there were three men in the con-
spiracy to steal a carload of cattle. One
of them, Woolford Faulkner, skipped
the country. The other, Harry Neis-
wender, turned states evidence, and con-
victed McKelvey, and will send him to
the penitentiary, whereas he appears to
be the least guilty of the three. Nickel
vsy is what his neighbors call mot over
ly smart" and he was led into the crime.
There is however 10 doubt as to his
guilt

Silver Platform.
Aspecial dispatch from this city to the
ST. Louis Republic ia relation to ex-
Senator Martin candidacy for re- election
quotes him as saying:
The next Kansas legislature will be
anti-Republican. l VIII be candidate
for the senate aud expect to be elected"
THE Democratic masses are for free
silver" he said, "and the platform will SO
declare. The south and west are solid for
such declaration, while nearly all the
great central region will be with us. The
leaders of the east. where the influences
of Wall street are felt,will acquiesce and
permit the party to express the convic-
tions of the great masses of the people.
The Democratic party will not take this
stand after other parties have spoken.
The national convention will be called
early and it will therefore be the first
to express itself on this most i'm mportant
question before the people"

HILL GRATIFIED.
The Decision on the Income Tax Suits
him Partly.

NEW YORK, April Referring to
the decision of the United States supreme
court in relation to the income tax Sena-
tor Hill says: II ventilated my views
concerning that tax pretty thoroughly.
l was gratifed with the finding of the
court as far as it went, but believe that
the whole tax, instead of a part, should
be declared unconstitutional.
THE tax is manifestly a direct tax and
as such is unconstitutional The tax is
not a Democratic measure from any
point of view. 1t is more of Populistic
law than anything else 1t seems to be
compromise measure to secure votes of
an element in the country that is antago-
nistic to all existing conditions.
