NEW TERM OF COURT.
It Will Open Week From Next Mon
daY.

The September term of the district
court will open one week from Monday
and Judge Hazen will reverse the US
ual custom by hearing the court cases
first. This is done on account of the
number of attorneys who want to get
out in the campaign and also on ac-
count of the excitement incident to the
Fall Festival.
The first week will be devoted to the
usual revision of the docket. The mo-
ton docket will be called on Monday
and the rest of the week will be devot-
ed to clearing it up with the exception
of Tuesday which will be devoted to
calling through the entire trial docket
and the dead cases will be stricken off
1t is doubtful Judge Hazen says, if
the jury cases will be reached before
after election time Very few crimi-
nails are waiting trial.
The grave rObbing cases, of which
there are Is or 20 against five or six
men, will be tried before Judge Thomp-
son at Alma. whose court does not con-
vene till October.
The city water works cases will be
tried here by Judge Thompson, begin

EQUESTRIAN CLUB PARADE

A feature of the Fall Festival pa

part in the big Thursday night parade
While the rest of the Committee of
Fifteen has been busy with the inside
Topeka things he has been hustIing in
his spare moments and has already
organized clubs at Mission township,
Dover and Pauline and has his eye on
Tecumseh, Silver Lake, Menoken, Au-
burn and the other places, too.
There will probably be 300 of these
men in all, Col. He'll thinks, and they
will, of course, be mounted. Missions

The uniform that will be worn con-
sists of a gray helmet with a yellow
plume, blue blouse with brass buttons
and light blue trousers with a broad
gold stripe down the legs.
They are agitating the idea of chang
ing the yellow plume to a glass globe
in which can be burned a tallow can
die as means of showing off better at
night.
Each neighborhood of the club will
be drilled separately and when all to-

ANOTHER COLORADO STORY.
"Goldbug" is an Epithet There That
Carries Many Meanings.

Judge Hazen, who is Republican
himself. came back from Colorado the
other day and brought with him
Democratic story.
1t was at Colorado Springs and seat
ed by him on street car was judge
Jackson of the Cowley county court.
who is a free silver Democrat and was
chairman of the late Hutchinson con
vention.
In = short time a man got on the car
and with him were half a dozen small
children.
The children We're restless as children
Will be and disturbed the conversation
OF the two judicial gentlemen very ma
rerlally with their babble and their
crowding.
Judge Jackson in particular was an
noyed and finally said to the man who
was with the children:
Cant you take those children TO
some other seat? They annoy me"
The man with the children scowled
but said nothing
IN a block or two he stopped the oar
and got off with his charges.
As he put the last one on the ground
he turned to Judge Jackson with a
scowl and said:
Now, you - old goldbug. I hope
you are satisfied -
, Having called Judge Jackson the
very worst name Colorado man is
capable of he went his way with the
children.

MORE COMPRESSED AIR.
Tt is Now Used at the Shops to Run a
Rotary Saw.

If discoveries for the use of COM
pressed air, by which both time and
labor are materially reduced, continue
to be made, the mechanical geniuses
at the Santa Fe shops in this city will
completely revOlutiOniZe railroad shop
work. The latest discovery has re
suited in the invention of a rotary
pneumatic saw for saving car roofs.
The ordinary box and stock car is "a
feet long, and the time required for
one man to saw the ends of the roof
boards on both sides with a common
hand saw varies from 40 minutes to
one hour With the newly invented
rotary saw this work can be done in
exactly four minutes, and the labor Of
the operator is practically nothing.
The saw rotates in circular iron
covering, and has a handle exactly
similar to a lawn mower. A hose con-
veying the air from the motor is at
tached. and the operator simply stands
at full height on the roof of the car
and guides it along the ends of the
boards. The saving of labor is cOnsid-
cradle and the work is done in fully
one-tenth the time necessary by the
common method.
Master Mechanic George w. Smith
and Boilermaker Foreman A. NJ.
Baird are the inventors of the saw.

Two Silver Republicans Desert the
Bryan Club at Larn ed.

Larned, Kan, Aug. 29.-F. H. Baxter,
one of the six free silver Republicans
who joined the Bryan club when it was
organized in this city, has renOunced
his membership in the club and has
joined the Mckinley club.
c. D. Beeth, who was the first vice
president of the Bryan club, had re-
signed his office and membership in the
club at the second meeting, and he also
has joined the Mckinley club. The
reasons given by Baxter and Beeth
for the action they have taken
is that they have changed their minds
on the financial question.
J. c. Rabbit is the only Republican
who now belongs to the Bryan club and
he has been elected president. Rabbit
is the ablest expounder of the free sill

Hamoud Bin Hamed Bin Said is ex-

it is expected that Khalid will be hand

as the German consul receives the nee

Republican Committee at Holton
Claim Their Ranks are Unbroken.

HoIton, Kan, Aug. %.
To the Editor of The State Journal.
Your paper of the 9th contained
communication from Holton alleging
that John s. Hopkins and 80 other Re
publicans had united with the Bryan
Silver league. A careful investigation
reveals the fact that not to exceed eight
or ten known Republicans in the. entire
city have united with the Free Silver
club Until our opponents furnish the
names of the new converts we shall
positively deny that there has been any
such stampede from the Republican
party as claimed by your Holton cor
respondent. On the other hand a num-
Der Of Democrats have expressed their
intention of voting for Mckinley and
Hobart.
A careful poll of this city has been
made and we feel confident that Nc
kinIey will receive the largest majority
given a Republican candidate at any
state election during the last six years.
Jackson county is in good shape and
will roll up the usual majority for the
entire Republican ticket.
