MR.. BIRD OPENS 4 BOTTLE
Just as If He Didn't Know How, and
Spills the Beer.

SDiils the BSSr.
L Dumas IS a fine looking FreDchman.
He formerly ran the French hotel az 12J
Kansas avenue and it was there that the
police arrested him for selling liquor.
u appealed the case from police court
and It was tried in the district court.
"Confcund this cid town It's too dry
fer me. I'm going to Wichita where
everything is wide open" is the remark
attributed to a certain Smith by Mr.
Dumas. Smith said this to officer Bur
CESS in the Office of the hotel one day
last spring. Then they opened grip. took
out some beer and drank il il the office
"W hos got z corkscEew:" asked the
city attorney in the trial yesterday. a
Juror was the only one in the room 70
produce one. Then Mr.. Bird screwed
the instrument into beer cork like he
vas trying 10 open caisup bottle. The
jurors looked on aaxiously.
There WAS loud report, an artesiau-
well-iike spouting of foam, and the efer-
veseing beer went half way to the cell
ing. The bottle was then handed TO
Smith on the witness stand ard after
taking few good swallows. he gave
his expert opinion. He said il was beer.
Witnesses testified that it was custom
ary for Dumas 10 serve liquors at his ia
bles. Dumas tried to prove that the
liquor was always brought there By the
parties TO whom it was served. and that
he did not sell il 70 them.
The jury was cut five minutes, and Du-
mas was acquitted.

PLAY WAR COST $1,000
The K. N. G. Encampment Was
an Expensive Thing.
MILITIA FUND VAS DEPLETED.

Little Now Remains 60 ExpeEd On the
Militia asa case or Need
The state military eacampment which
was held at Emporia month ago, was
an expensive luxury. It cost the tax
payers &c. and if the Empcria papers
are to be believed the farmers about that
town wish there never had been an en-
campmeut.
Col Charles s. Elliott, paymaster gen
eral of the Kansas national guard has
almost finished paying state enc4mp-
meut claims. He told STATE JOURNAL
reporter that ne has already issued
warrants amounting 10 $le,60S. 10 and
there is one more outstanding claim OF
about $10Q for transportation over the
Union Pacific.
The greatest item of expenses in con-
nection with the state encampment was
that of TRANSPORTATION. The railroads re-
fused to carry the state troops for one
cent q mile as provided in special law
passed by the legislature last winter aud
the state ofbcers, attorney general and
auditor agreed to pay the railroads their
own rate for carrying the troops he
result of Ihis was the state paid out
4,6076 81 for railroad fare for the state
eucsmpment and this was taken from the
active service fund created by the leg
islature.
The next large item of expense was
the pay of officers and men. Il was
agreed BY the state military board that
the minimum amount fixed by law
should be paid on this account, but the
records Of the psymaster general show
that 81. 555.37 was pad to the militia for
going to the encampment.
When il was proposed to hold the
state encampment At Topeka 1t was un-
derstood that Topeka was to raise the
money for supplies in caring for the state
troops during the encaDpment
Emp0ris may have raised some money
for that purpose. but i mus. have been
only a drop il the bucket, as the stale
paid out ,645.12 for supplies
Altogether the state encsmpmeut was
an expensive luxury, and the active ser
vice fund of me Kansas national guard
was diminished thereby over $4,000
II trouble should arise, sucn as to de-
maud troops during this administration.
the presence of only a limited number OF
men could be obtained unless the gov
ern0r raised money from some outside
source 10 pay the expense.
The last report OF the state treasurer
shows that on September 3OEh there was
but S1,319.53 IN tue militia fund il the
treasury.

1t is a well known fact that horses
can hear sounds that are not per-
ceptible to humun ears. For days
previous to the great earthquake in
the Riviera the horses of that local
ity showed every symptom of abject
fear, which continued without
change OF character, unless it was in
the direction of greater frenzy, till
the fury of the great convulsion
broke forth. Not nntfl a few sec
onds, however, before the earth be-
gan to tremble did human beings
hear the subterranean rumblings.
One writer from the scene says in
his opinion the horses knew that the
great quake was on the way from 70
to 100 hours before their masters
heard or felt the jar.
However rich or elevated we
may be, nameless something is
always wanting to our imperfect
ne.-Horace.
