LEE JONES, OWNER.
Says He Owns His Drug Store and Wants
New Permit.

Says He Owns His Drug Store and Wants
New Permit.
The case of Lee Jones, who has made
application for a fresh permit to sell in
toxicating liquors, was heard in the pro-
bate court this morning, but was not fin
ished The decision will be announced
by Judge Wood Wednesday morning at
o'clock.
Mr.. Jones seems to have complied
with the law in every instance in his
new application. Judge Woods reason
for revoking the former permit was that
the Smith Drug company of ST. Joseph
owned the stock. Mr.. Jones explained
that in this way. Some time last sum-
mer, he says, he got behind with his
payments and the Smith company be-
came nervous about the payments
and took a mortgage on the
stock. It was this mortgage that Judge
Wood construed as ownership. All that
has since been arranged, Mr.. Jones ex-
planned today, by the release of the
mortgage and the acceptance of num-
Der of personal notes in lieu of the debt
If Judge Wood rules against Mr..
Jones, it is likely he will give up the at
tempt to get a permit. for the present at
least He will not appeal the case to the
district court as Mr.. Kennady did.

WILL NOT BE CONFIRMED.
The Sub-EmpIoyes of the City May B,
Removed at Will.

The Sub Employees of the City May Be
Removed at VIII.
The present city administration has
made a rule which will make the posi-
tions of the city employees under the
heads of departments anything but Sc
cure. The ordinance provides that when
the appointee is confirmed he cannot be
removed except by the joint action of
the mayor and council This makes a
great deal of trouble in case a reduction
in any of the city departments is desired
or an employe is not satisfactory.
The mayor and council have adopted a
way of getting around such difficulty.
The plan was first tried by Mayor Har
rison and the council did not like it but
they have concluded now that it is the
best thing to do. None of the appointees
are confirmed by the council though it is
understood that they are appointed with
their concurrence. Since they are not
confirmed the mayor can remove them at
pleasure. The rule applies particularly
to the sanitary force as the mayor says
that there are times of the year when
fewer officers are needed on the force
than at others.
The weighmasters and helpers in the city
engineers and electric light department
have not and will not be confirmed by
the council

MANY EVADE THE LAW.
One-FOurth of Income Taxpayers Refuse

One-FOurth of Income Taxpayers Refuse
to Give in Returns.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The officials
having charge of the income tax for
some days past have had little to do but
contemplate the rush of work that is ex-
pected to begin next Wednesday. On
that day collectors of customs have been
instructed to send in all income tax re-
turns that have at that time been exam
ined and tabulated, and that on May 10
all the remaining returns be sent in.
Late information from collectors is to
the effect that 8 per cent of the heavy
taxpayers have failed to make any re-
turns whatever In some cases the rea-
sons for this is undoubtedly carelessness,
but the action of the greater number is
believed to have been deliberate. The
percentage of this latter class is estima
ted as high as one-f fourth Of the whole
The officials are hopeful of favorable
change in ruling of the supreme court
as a result of the rehearing and are
especially so as to the main proposition.

Ed. HOoh Comments on the Success
Orship to PETER.
The Marion Record says:
One of the many distinguished gentle
men who aspire to succeed Senator PEI
fer, has announced that he will ask the
various county conventions to instruct
their Legislative candidates for the man
of their choice for United States sena-
tor.
Now, what does this mean? 1t means
not only to make the election of United
States senator the supreme issue in Kan
sas next year, but it means to make the
election of some one man the issue It
means to make personality paramount to
principle in the campaign. 1t means that
party interests must be sacrificed on
the altar of mere personal interests 1t
means menace to Republican success.
Now the Record comedies the right of
any and every man to aspire to this ex-
allied Office, but it cannot concede their
right to jeopardize party success for pure
ly personal considerations. To make one
man. any man, the issue, not in the
state at large, but in every county, is
to court defeat in many counties. Fell

FROG IN A MONUMENT.

A Story From Atchison That Is Absolutely
True, of Course.
Says the Atchison Champion: N. R.
Wells, the gravestone man on North
Fifth avenue, while dressing a marble
shaft for monument, one day last week,
discovered what at first appeared to be a
sand hole in the marble. A closer in
spection revealed the fact that a frog was
imbedded there. The orifice was made
larger and live frog the color of the
stone jumped out
After it had been under the influence
of the light and sun a few minutes it
turned green and looked like any other
frog. 1t hoped away and got out of
sight under the building. This story is
not intended as dull day item. It is
vouched for by Mr. Wells, who is a
grave man engaged in a grave business.

PAY is COMING DOWN.
Nearly All the City Officers to suf-
fer Reductions.
FIRE MARSHAL'S SALARY CUT

From $500 to $500 a Year-The
New Ordinance to Make Reductions
All Around.
The salary ordinance to be introduced
at the next meeting of the council ia not
so sweeping in its reductions as has been
supposed 1t makes several material
cuts but very few who receive less than
500 month will be molested.
The salary of the fire marshal will
lose $25 per month He now receives
| $3.50 or $1,000 per annum. The ordi-
nance will reduce this to 1925 per month
or 81, 500 a year
The city engineer now receives 800
per month by agreement and this will be
enacted into an ordinance. The ordin-
ance fixes the salary of the engineer at
$3.50 month or 81, 800 per annum.
Only one of the helpers in the engi-
neers Office, it is proposed, shall have
his salary reduced. de is W. s. Fulton,
who receives $50 a month as tapeman
The proposed ordinance will reduce this
to $50.
The city clerk may slip through with
out reduction, but the committee has
agreed to recommend a reduction of
$50 per month in his salary.
He now receives 1925 per
reduce that amount to 800. There will
be some opposition among the council to
this reduction and it may not be adopted.
The deputy in his office. who is Miss Hal
lie Holman, may be subjected to a re-
duction of So; she now receives $50 per
month, but there is also objection to this
reduction.
The city attorney will lose part of his
allowance. He receives 81, 300 per year
and is allowed $75 per month for help
and Office rent His allowance is to be
reduced to $50, and this will either re-
duce the pay of both of his deputies or
compel him to discharge one.
The superintendent of the city electric
light plant will have his compensation
fixed at 800 per month. He has been
receiving 1926, but by agreement since
his recent reappointment, he receives
but 800. The ordinance is simply to
conform to this agreement
The pay of the members of the sani-
tary force and members of the fire de-
partment will not be reduced and no pro-
visions have yet been made to reduce
the mayors salary of 5000 per year,
though there was some talk of such a re-
duCtiOn.

DR.. Fisher preached at the Kansas av-

He was talking about faith and said:
at is hard to have faith in humanity
with so many examples of faithIessness
in public life. These examples are not
confined to defauIting bank officers and
embezzlers, but even public officers
prove false to their trust, in which we
have recently had an example in our

ment 1t is their business to enforce the

Henning Landau returned Tues
day from WillistOn, N. D., u station
on the Great Northern at the first
crossing of the Missouri river by
that road, over 400 miles northwest
of Fargo. He says that in none OF
the district Travelled did the crops
look as we'll as in Morrison county.
In the Red river valley the grain
looked quite good, but it did not
stand as high or thick as here, and
the yield will not be as large.
From the valley to the DEVILS lake
country the crops were good. and
from that place west the industry
seemed to be mostly stock raising,
and cultivated fields were small and
scarce. At all places he visited crops
We're looking we'll, but his impress
sion was that North Dakota would
not have as excellent crop as north
ern Minnesota.
One thing he noticed about rail-
road travel was there were scarcely
a dozen passengers in the three Pull
man cars ON the Great Northern
through train from Williston to
Fargo. while the sleepers on the
Northern Pacific train (Which he
boarded at Fargo) were crowded.
1t would seem that the line that
captures the bulk of the through
business ought to pull along with
out the guardianship Of the other
road.
