What the Chief Justice WIN Do.

What the Chief Justice Will Do.
1t is understood at Atchison that Judge
Horton, who has resigned as chief justice.
did SO that he might join the law firm OF
Waggener & Orr, from which firm he with
drew on his appointment as chief justice in
1877. As a member of the firm he would
be associated with Hon. Battle Waggener.
general attorney of the Missouri Pacific
road.
There was rumor current some time
ago to the effect that Justice Horton was
about to resign to become attorney for the
Union Pacific to succeed Senator John M.
Thurston, of Nebraska, the only foundation
for which seems to have been that Judge
Horton was even then entertaining a propo-
sitiOn from the Missouri Pacific. 1t is be-
lieved that if Judge Horton does not come
to Atchison be will go to the law depart
ment of the Missouri Pacific at St. Louis.
The salary of the chief justice is $1,000 per
year and it is said that Judge Horton
future business will yield him return of
about four times that amount annually.

Must Abide by Contract.

The Kansas supreme court in deciding a
case in which the binding effect of a con-
tract was in question uses this language:
A written contract with a railway COM
pany signed by the shipper of live stock
providing that such shipper, while being
carried upon the train Transporting his
stock, shall remain in the caboose car at
tached to the train while the same is NOV
ing, is valid and binding between the parties
thereto. Such a contract is a reasonable
one, intended for the safety and convenience
of the shipper, as we'll as for the protection
of the railway company carrying him. 1t
does not contravene any law or a sound
public policy.
2. The admitted facts and the special find
ings o. the jury examined and held thereon,
that S., shipper of live stock, who had
signed a written contract with the railway
company to remain in the caboose car at
-tached to the train carrying his stock, while
the same was moving, is not entitled to re-
cover for injuries received by him while
voluntarily standing or walking upon
moving car in violation of the terms of his
contract.
All the justices concurring.

Favorable crop Weather.

WASHINGTON. d. c. April 1.-THE weather
bureau, in its weekly review of the weather
crop conditions says:
Upon the whole the week has been very
favorable. Corn planting has. ogre-sed
rapidly under favorable conditions in the
southern states where a large proportion OF
the crop is in the ground and some has come
up. Preparations for corn planting has be-
gun in Missouri and Kansas.
Winter wheat has generally improved
during the week in Illinois and is in good
condition in Michigan, Missouri and east
ern Kansas, but less favorable reports are
received from Minnesota; in Nebraska the
crop has suffered from drouth and nigh winds
Spring wheat seeding is we'll advanced in
Minnesota and South Dakota, and while
rome seeding has bsen done in North Da-
kota the seeding has been retarded by dry
weather.
Oats seeding is progressing rapidly in
Ohio, and nearly the entire acreage of the
crop has been sown in Illinois, Iowa and
Missouri, and seeding is well advanced in
South Dakota.
The general outlook for fruit is very IA
vorable, no serious damage having yet been
done by frost. Rain Is badly needed IN Ok
lahoma and more would be beneficial IN
Missouri and North Dakota.

ExiTeS ,JubfFant,

New YORK, April 13.-A special dispatch
to the World from Kingston, Jamaica. says:
The Cuban exiIes are jubilant over news
they receive from Cuba.
Between ten and fifteen thousand insur-
gents were under arms at lat. st accounts,
tretting the SPANS forces with skirmshes
and not attem pting any military operations
They are we'll armed and we'll supplied with
money and provisions. As has been already
explained, the plans of the revolution for
the present are to have the forces so scat
tered all over the island as to keep the Span
lsh busy at widely distant points and be.
wilder them.
General Gomez. one of the real leaders, is
either now in Cuba or on the eve of getting
there. When he is ready the real war for
independence will begin. With his center
at Santa Clara and a province around that
readily lends itself to military preparations.
he will give the Spaniards all they want to
do, he holding the richest of the provinces,
while throughout the island insurgents will
be keeping the enemy busy in details.

President of Cuba.

HAVANA, CUBA, April 16.-Jose Marti,
who was elected as president of the new re-
public at the convention held at Guatanaro,
province of Puerto Principe, has been pro-
claimed by the insurgents as their chief ex-
ecutive. He lacks the popularity of Maceo
or Gomez. yet he is generally regarded as
the most learned man and statesman among
the bells. Maceo declined the honor in a
most positive manner, as he desired to be
in the field when the fighting begins. The
names of the officers of the government,
with the exception of president have not
been made public. The new president is
in the United States at present.

Chief Justice Martin.

TOPEKA. April 16.-Judge David Martin,
who has been appointed to the chief Justice
ship, has been a resident of Atchison for
about twenty years. Judge Horton speaks
of him as a man of sterling integrity. He
is aged about so years. ard served honorably
in the war of the rebe lion. He has appeared
but twice in Kan~as as candidate. In 1880
be was elected judge of TIE Second judicial
district. com posed of Nemaha, Brown, Atch-
son and Doniphan counties, by a total of
13, $50 votes. without one vote against him.
Four years later he was re- elected by total
vote of 1882. with but one vote against
him. A parallel to this has never occurred
in the United States. Before his second
term expired he resigned to resume his law
practice in Atchison. The resignation and
appointment take effect on April 30. va
csncy caused by resignation can only be
filed by appointment until the next general
ecton, and so. in November next, Kan
sas will be call upon to EJECT new chief
justice. Judge Horizons term would have
expired on j nuary l, 1897. Judge Martin
was an applicant for one of the appellate
court judge~hips. but was refused by Gov
ernor Morrill,. who now has given him the
highest judicial position in the state.
1t is un er-tocd that Associate Justice
Johnston could have had the chief Justice
ship, but he did not feel disposed to go into
q new election before he had fairly settled
down from the election last fall.

that he had delivered four similar packages

No Combine

CHICAGO, ILL, April 13.-Colonel Favorite,
of the Armour company, when asked in re-
gard to the statements Of Secretary Morton
that an investigation would be made into
the cause Of the high meat prices, said:
''There is no com bne. Secretary Morton
knows as we'll as we do why it is As far as
we are concerned we hope he will invest-
gate the matter thoroughly.
He is now shipping grain to the destitute
farmers of Nebraska, and their condition is
about the same as the cattle feeding district
of the central west. The shipping has fallen
off one half from there, and a g ance at the

Non-Union Me- Surrender.

PoMERoY, O., April 12.-At 4 p. m. 400
strikers and sympathizers from Syracuse,
New Haven, Hartford City, Mason and
Pomeroy massed at Minersville to ''per-
suade" or force the non union men working
in the Williams mine to lay down their tools
and come out.
They formed in ranks four abreast and
marched up the street to the mine and
formed to wait the appearance of the miners
as they came out at the c ose of the day g
work, being forbidden by the operators to
trespass on private grounds. At 5 o'clock
the men came out and we're met by com
mittee of seven of the strikers, who used
persuasive means to induce them to join the
strikers.
For two hours the twenty-three men held
out stubbornly with the 400 men massed
about them. Trey were assured by Master
Workmen Eli Thomas that they would be
amply cared for if they joined the strikers.
Finally the non-union men surrendered
and agreed to join the strikers. This an
nouncemnet was greeted by cheers, followed
by volley of pistol shots into the air, show
ing that the strikers were determine to sue
coed by persuasion or force. All parties
we're armed and made no attempt to con-
ceaI the fact.

Wichita County Protests.

TOPEKA, April 1.-THE dispatch which
appeared in Associated Press and special
dispatches from this city recently. which
stated that the bonds of Wichita county, to
the amount of $34. 0OO, now in the stats
school fund, we're worthless, ia earn estly
protested against by the county officers OF
that county.
County Clerk w. S. Place has written a
letter to the Capital in which he says that
the amount of the interest on the bonds has
been sent to the fiscal agency in New York
and that the state treasurer has been notified
concerning the payment there.
This is where the discrepancy arises. No
notice of any such payment has ever been
received by the state treasurer, and the off,
GERS have not received any response TO the
letter sent out Novemb Der p, 1894 to Wich-
tia county officers containing the coupons
and the accompanying statement of the
amount Of $1,000 due as semi-annual inter-
est the above bonds and payable January
/, 1895.
The bonds are held by the state treasurer
and the fiscal agency Of the state in New
York has nothing to do W tn them or the
intere-t. The matter can now be easily adj
justed and the report Of repudiated bonds
in Wichita county will be etfectualiy dis
puted and proven to be error when the
officers of Wichita notify the fiscal agency
that they desire credit of the above amount
as interest on the bonds. The state treas
erer will then receive notice that the interest
has been paid, can make due entries of the
credit and remove the suspicion of repudia-

Unjust Discrimination.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 11.-Since the
delivery of the income tax decision. attor-
neys and others interested in overthrowing
the tax have been taking steps to test vari-
Gus parts of the law in further proceedings.
Attacks will be made both on those portions
that were sustained by tie vote and on
some fresh points not passed upon in the
particular cases decided.
Attorney j. M. Wilson, who represented
John G.. Moore in the court of appeals in
the recent cases, says further proceedings
will be begun Immediately. Several parts
principal one being the exemption from
taxation of incomes under $4,000 annually.
This will be attacked as an unjust discrim-
iuakiou ~
