TROUBLE ABOUT FOWLS.
The Polios Say People are Allowing Their
Chickens to Run at Large.

The Police Say People Allowing Their
Chickens to Run at Large.
All the men on the police force could
now be conveniently used to respond to
complaints received from people about
chickens. There is an ordinance which
provides that chickens shall not be al
lowed to run at large in Topeka, but
very little attention is paid to it.
AS spring approaches and people think
of flower beds and gardens they also re-
member their neighbors' chickens and
Jailer Hopkins is kept busy answering
telephone calls from people who want
someone arrested for allowing their
fowls to trespass
The police have made no arrests but
they are now warning the people who
own chickens and arrests will be made.
The penalty is from one to $40 fine.

AFTER EATABLES.
Three Tramps Found in n ROCK As

Thomas Baird, Bert Wellsard Charles
Edwards were in police court this morn
ing on complaint of Special Agent Watts
of the Rock Island, charged with being
found in car containing meochandlse-
Watts arrested the men Saturday night
He said they broke the seal of the car
and they say they did not If Watts had
been able to prove his charge the men
would have been accused of burglary
and sent to the penitentiary.
Wells is not over 81 years old. He had
on clean collar and his black curly hair
was carefully combed when he appeared
in police court this morning. The other

They pleaded guilty to being found in
a car and Judge Ferry fined them SIC
each. Detective Watts says that the
railroad company is being greatly an
noyed by men who break open cars and
pilfer the bundles containing canned
goods and crackers.

WANTED A MILLION.
Evidently a Malicious Juryman Was Or
This Jury.

Evidently a Malicious Juryman Was On
This Jury.
By combination of circumstances
John III. Wukerson, formerly chief of
police escaped having verdict for
100000 rendered against him the
other day. If he knew this it is doubt
less what caused him to resign.
One may cease wondering at the IN =
accountable actions of juries in general
and the 10 men in the Pickett damage
case in particular if a peep into the jury
room in the latter case is taken. One man,
sworn to do his duty, actually wanted
to give judgment against the policemen
for one million dollars. It took a long
time to argue him out of the notion.
There was no doubt righteousness in
this; an old grudge to settle, perhaps.
Another thought the colored man had
been damaged $4,000 worth, another
$4,000, and SO on down the list. Two
men alone wanted to give verdict for l
cent and costs. Finally, after being out
a day, rather than put the expense of
another trial upon the county, they
agreed to $500.
The jurors agreed, as usual, not to
talk afterwards about their delibera-
tions. Yet, scarcely had the verdict been
returned before Picketts lawyers ap-
preached some of them and said they
were posted all the time as to who was
hanging the jury.
The arrest of Pickett and his wife was
without a warrant, and was technical
violation of the law. Under Judge
Hazen's instructions verdict for Pickett
must be found. Being but technical
error, it was expected that the damages
would be technical.

HAD DOWN FINE.

Murderer AsbeII of OsWeEO Had His
AIibi Story Written and Com mi tied.
Among the convicts that were taken to
the state penitentiary last week was
Marion Asbell of Oswego, who murdered
his wife in cold blood on the evening Of
January 90.
AsbelPs defense was very clever. He
was able to go back two days before the
murder and account for every minute of
his time. His alibi seemed almost per-
feet and nothing could shake him from
his story. The evidence on the other
side appeared to be sufficient to convict
him, however.
Asbell and his story went to the peni-
Tertiary together and so impressed the
tender hearted chaplain that he was a
friend of Asbell's in half an hour and
was ready to swear almost that Asbelf
was an innocent man.
few days later AsbelPs story of de-
Tense. ford for word as he had given il,
was found under the mattress of his cell

Has Few Visitors at the JaiI--A Year Be
fore He Will BIO Hung.
SAN Francisco, March 9.-On April
6 next, tyear will have passed since
the murder of Blanche Lamont and yet
Theodore Durrant, who was convicted of
her murder las: November, is still in the
county Jail awaiting the final action of
the supreme court in the case.
Durrant was sentenced to be hanged
on February 81, but the slow manner in
which justice is melted out to murderers
in this state, makes it plain he will not
meet his death much before the close of
this year.
Meanwhile the prisoner is spending
his time at the county Jail much the
same as the rest of the inmates He
has few visitors and devotes much of his
time to reading and writing. He has
written history of his life and lately he
is said to have begun the study of law.

DIsobeys Her Husbands Command to

DIsObeys Her Husbands Command to
Quit the stage.
CHICAGO, May 10.-A morning paper
says
Lord Sholto Douglas, from his home
in Arizona, has tcalied upon his wife,
formerly Loretta Mooney, to quit the
vaudeville stage and return to him, but
the light-footed songstress has declined.
In an interview last night she said:
"Oh, yes, Lord Sholto wants me to
leave the stage and go back to Arizona,
but don't Gee it that way just now.
Pm going to New York next week to fill
an engagement with Tony Pastor, and
when have seen what there is to see in
New York we'll talk about Arizona. I've
never been East before, and they say
New York is quite town. After that,
of course, expect to go to Arizona and
leave the stage. Here's a letter from
Lord Sholto L just received today. He
wants to know why I don't answer his
letters and telegrams-he has sent me
two this week. Poor fellow, suppose
he is worrying. Have we quarrelled?
Well. perhaps L hadn't better cay any
thing about that. Some of these days
I'll go back and be good little wife,
but not until we seen New York"

THECzAR'S MANIFESTO.
Amnesty Will Be Granted
Siberian Prisoners.
SENTENCES ARE no BR REDUCED
Offenders Against Public Worship Laws
VIII Receive Pardon--ThO Cars
Arrival at Moscow.

LONDON, May 19.-The Chronicles
Berlin correspondent says that the Ber-
lin Tageblatt claims that the czar's man
ifesto will give amnesty, partial or
complete, to Russian prisoners in ST.
IBERIA. Those sentenced to life of
penal servitude Will receive mitigation
of the sentences, and offenders domi-
ciled IN Siberia will be permitted to re-
turn to any part of European Russia ex-
cept st. Petersburg and Moscow.
The sentences of those in Jail in Euro
pean Russia for serious offenses will be
reduced by one third. A large number
of minor offenders will be pardoned.
Numbers of those who left the country
for political relief will be pardoned, on
condition of their taking the oath of al
legiance.
Tie peasantry in certain poor districts
will be excused from arrears of crown
dues. Even the Jews will not be for
gotten, and the ill-starred Hebrew agri-
cultural colonies at Ekatreinslay will
also be excused from arrears.
The Rome correspondent of the Chron-
icle also hears that the vatican has re-
ceived information that the czar will
pardon all Catholic priests who have
been imprisoned or sent to Siberia for
breach of the public worship laws, and
that he also promises to grant gradually
a large measure of religious liberty to all
his subjects, including Catholics. Car
dinal Agliardi, the Vatican representa-
tive at the coronation. will hand to the
czar an autograph letter from the pope
urging an extension of religious liberty,
In the first draft of the coronation
manifesto, a paragraph provides for the
can = alton of warnings of the censors
standing against Russian newspapers,
which amount to 100000 of roubles,
and the suppression of the papers.
Most of the Russian papers have had a
couple of warnings hanging over their
heads for years past. This paragra phi
in the manifesto was omitted, at the
instigation of certain court ministers.
Russian pressmen are naturally dis
pleased, but it remains to be seen if the
paragraphs will be restored.
Criminals and debtors will doubtless
be favored and political prisoners will
not be forgotten. The impecunlous
mobiles, whose estates are heavily en-
numbered, viii probably be relieved by
reductions of the interest on their loans.
There is also talk of the CONS of mer-
chants and manufacturers receiving the
same rights regarding their movements
as the nobility.
