MOVING OUT.
Last of the County Offices Leave the
Old Court House To-day.

Last of the County Offices Leave the
Old Court House Today.
The old court house was deserted to-
day by the county officers who have re-
manned in it up 10 this time. The dis
trict court, sherifFs Office, and clerk
of the district courts office are
now all in the new place ready to begin
business Monday.
Judge Hazen did not do any business
this afternoon, but devoted his time to
moving. Bailif Jno Coyne tried to pretend
that he was sorry to leave the old room
with its many pleasant memories, but he
couldn't succeed.
The bailiff says he will allow no crap
shooting, whiting of chairs or putting
of feet on the lawyers tables in the new
place.
The last time anyone "shot craps" in
the old room the bailiff captured the
"bones'' and now plays with the lawyers
himself
District Clerk Cockrell did no official
business today. He rummaged around
in the dusty files all day. Il won't do
anything today, but work." said he.
Sheriff Kepley kept up with the 9th
ers and his goods and chattels were
taken to his new office this afternoon.
you must stop at the jail and get your
shoes shined and your clothes brushed
every morning before you call on me at
my new Office" were his Instructions.

THAT COLD WAVE
Or Its Twin Brother is Promised u
For Tonight.

Or Its Twin Brother is Promised us
For Tonight.
The weather men are apparently in a
quandary. Yesterday they stated that
we would experience rain or snow in
Kansas last night, but though clouds
threatened neither rain or snow made an
appearance. This morning they sent out a
prediction saying that we would have
generally fair weather today and tomor-
row, which was correct in the southern
and estern parts of the state but did not
apply to the eastern portion.
Following this prediction they have
sent out a report stating that a cold wave
would strike Kansas tonight, and
that by tomorrow morning the
temperature will have fallen 20
degrees or more. Their last predic-
ton is apt to be correct as the weather is
growing gradually colder At noon the
standard thermometer registered 40 de-
grees above zero.
Along the lines of the Santa Fe in
eastern Kansas the weather is
reported cloudy and cool In western
and southern Kansas the weather is
clear and cold. Along the lines of the
Rock Island south of Harrington and
west of Phillipsburg, clear and cool
weather is reported. On all other lines
of the road cIoudiness exists.
In Colorado the weather is reported
clear and cold. In New Mexico the
weather is clear and pleasant, and in
Texas cloudy IN / warm.

CHICAGO MAR&Er LETTER

Furnished by Topeka Grain and stock Ex-
change. 526 Kansas Avenue.
The weakness at the opening of the
market caused by small aggregate week
ly exports and larger Argentine ship
ments was soon Offset by the good ship
ping demand which was experienced at
Minneapolis, New York and here. Cable
news was unimportant but the argentine
shortage was confirmed by reliable
party who places the crop at only one
half of last year. Colder weather pre-
dictsd in southwest and California adj
vices are bullish. stating that
there is much foreign inquiry for
wheat and stocks nearly exhausted
while prospects for the new crop are poor
on account of the extreme dry weather.
The close was steady and while great
part of the short interest has been COW
cred there has been fully as extensive
realizing on long wheat by parties who
will look for a chance to replace it on
break if possible. We think the outlook
for higher prices next week is very IA
vorable
Corn and oats extremely dull with lit
tie outside trade
Provisions--There was good buying OF
pork products by shorts, a leading pack
er being noted as a large buyer.

Fight in the Law Library
LAWRENCE, Feb. 29.-The state uni
versitv law school was the scene of a
rough and tumble fight yesterday. It
was tine old question OF race distinction.
The fight was between two senior law
students-one a white man and the other
q colored man. The white man got first
licks. but the colored man was about to
land one of those Fitz knock-ou blows
on the chin of the white man, when he
was intercepted by some students who
happened to be witnesses to the dis
graceful affair.
1t was the old story of a simple dispute
between the white man and the colored
man. A difference arose, the colored
man accused the white man of being a
base prevaricator, and the latter resented
the insult
To explain the true status of the case
1t IS necessary to state that McWilliams
a colored law senior, is now un-
der the ban of displeasure, owing
to the fact that a search war
rant was issued on Thursday author
izing the county officers to search
McWilliams' premises for stolen law
books. The search was in vain, no books
were to be found. Many law books
have been stolen in the past months, and
the students set about to find out the
guilty party. They finally decided that
McWiIliams was the man.
Yesterday civilians came into the
state university law library to read.
There he met Miller, the white man in
this case. Miller is the custodian of the
library
The Negro accused Miller of having
been instrumental in having had the
search warrant issued. To this Miller
answered that he was not Then Nc
Williams called him liar Right hsrs
the trouble began. Miller told the Negro
that If the Insult was repeated he would
Miller landed square in the Negro's face
After this there was a rough fight until
the men were parted
The students who are working On the
case claim to have evidence to prove that
MoWilliams stole the books.

Drowned in Seeking Safety.
VICTORIA, B. c.. Feb. 29.-The last
week of January of this year will long
be remembered by residents of the Aus
tralian colonies by reason of the fact that
it witnessed the most terrible gales and
foods ever known on the Queensland
coast.
Townsville, small city on the north
east coast of Queensland, seemed to be
the center of the storm, not vessel in
the harbor escaping. Ross island, a
short distance away, was also flooded
and many lives were lost in attempts to
reach the mainland with small boats.
The furious wind upset a rescue boat
and Mrs. Hunt aud her infant, Mrs.
Guniman. Gertrude Rowe. the elder
Miss Rowe, and a boy named Willie
Wallace we're drowned. A housemaid
in Judge Chubbs employ, while wading
toward punt was washed off her feet by
the current and drowned. Sandy Walk
er was drowned while trying to cross
Victoria bridge where there was six feet
of water on the rails.

SANDY Hook, N. j., Feb 29-Capt.
Sullivan of the ordnance boat just came
down the bay and reports the steam
ship New York ashore about a
quarter of mile southwest from the
Quickstep buoy in the> west bank, and
that ,Chapmau's wrecking company
steamer is laying cable over her stern.
NEW YORK, Feb. S9-The Norweg-
ian steamer Yumuria arrived at
quarantine this afternoon, having
been six hours picking her way
from the bar through the fog. She re-
ports that after passing the southwest
spit the fog lifted somewhat and the
American line steamer New York, in
ward bound from Southampton was
sighted near the west bank.
She was laying well out of water and
apparently grounded near high water.
The west bank on which the New York
is ashore, is in the upper part of
the lower shore about two miles
from the south shore of Staten island.
The west bank bottom is hard, but as the
sea is smooth, it is not thought that the
steamer is in danger. If necessary, the
passengers could easily be transferred to
tugs

FAST LOT OF BIRDS.
T. A. A. Wins Over Y. NJ. C. A.
at Duck Pins,
ButY. C. A. Makes Best Single
Game Team Record.

The members of the West Side gun
club are getting to the point where they
should challenge some other club
to match at live birds. As their shoot
ing falls off on targets they seem to i'm
prove on the pigeons
The regular weekly shoot was held
yesterday afternoon. II. S. Montgomery
carried off the gold target medal for the
second time. He and P. J. Hindmarsh
are now tied for the trophy.
A four-cornered match at live birds
was arranged on the grounds. The shoot
ing was at ten birds per man. L. Biscoe
carried off the honors with straight
score and his performance was little
less than remarkable, as he used his sec
ond barrel but once-on his last bird.
He used his seven and one-half pound
I. G. Smith gun.
&c. Elliott surprised himself by his
work with Winchester "pump" gnD.
He killed nine of his ten birds, using his
second barrel twice.
The weather was cloudy and a strong
breeze blew across the traps. The birds
were a good lot and the conditions taken
altogether furnished difficult shooting.

house on "Resubmission" under the aus

The speaker said that he did not pro-
pose to lecture against morality, for he
believed that resu omission and morality
were not antagonistic. He was of the
opinion that the prohibitory amendment
was the cause of perjury and contempt
OF law, in general, and he argued from
the standpoint that the amendment
should be resubmitted, and he believed
that it would be voted down. This would

BIOUS IS CONVICTED.
One of the JointiSts Indicted by the Grand
Jury Gets 500 and so Days.

The grand jury has been indicated.
This noon in tbs district court jury
brought in a verdict convicting on one
count the aged jointist, Sam Bious, of
selling whisky illegally. There were
two indictments returned against him by
the grand jury.
Judge Hazen Immediately sentenced
Bious. He fined him 500 and sent him
to the county Jail for 80 days He will
probably not have to work out the entire
800, as the commissioners will release
him on account of his age and feeble
ness. Jailer Larry Sheshan says lie is
too feeble to smoke a pipe.
Bious made a living by buying pint
of whisky at time and selling it by the
drink. He ought TO be in the poorhouse.
