J.P. HARRIS HONE COMING
The Ottawa People Welcome Him
With a Brass Band.

Ottawa, KAN May 9.-Immediately
on receipt of news of the nomination
of j. p Harris for congress by the Law
renee convention several of his en-
thusiastic admirers who were not able
to attend the convention began prepar-
ations to give him and the victorious
delegation a royal reception. AS a re-
suit. when Mr. Harris stepped from the
Lawrence train at $50 he was confront
ed by a brass band and a drum corps
and several hundred of his toWnspeO-
pie. the band playing and the crowd
cheering or blowing tin horns of vari-
Gus sizes and tones.
a procession was formed, headed by
the brass band and followed by the
returned victOrs in carriages. The
drum corps was followed by a line of
carriages several blocks long. At the
intersection of Main and Second streets
Mr.. Harris alighted and mounted the
high step of the Peoples National bank
of which he is president and addressed
the crowd, thanking them for their
kindly reception.

There has never been q. time when
the law was more openly and noto-

now, and there is not a club man or
a jointist who does not feel compare

who are supposed to attend to its en-
forcement are as nearly in collusion
with the liquor sellers and law vio-
lators as they can be without coming
out openly and adopting the practice
in force at Wichita. Leavenworth and
AtchisOn.
The chief of police still makes his
rounds and serves notices to quit on
the bar tenders, and following his visit
there is a lightning change and a new
bartender walks in. This is now the

lit was suggested that in all propa-

would be a long and tedious one and
that it might become necessary for the

Consequently it was decided to ask the
senate for authority to sit elsewhere

sessions during the summer recess and
to employ stenographers and such
other clerical help as may be found
necessary.

London. May 9.-The prince of Wales
and the countess of Warwick have once
more succeeded in absorbing the Cos
sips of society for the best part of the
week. and many of the favorable
danes and blushing buds of the
world of society have not yet ceased
cIssttering or V5jsfesrilg over the do

tiful friend, sometimes referred to as

gether to meet the prince
The lively countess took the prince
of Wales up the Avon in an electric
launch and in the afternoon the party
enjoyed tea" on the lawn of the
courtyard, where the ladies and gentle
men also played tennis and cycled, and,
in short, enjoyed themselves greatly

to start the tongues of the gOssips off

followed the announcement on InurS-
day that the Countess of Warwick had
been practically presented to the queen
or her accession to the title at the
drawing room held at buckingham
Palace. 1t is true that Princess Chris
tiana Of Schles Wig Holstein (second
daughter of Her Majesty presided, but
it was lin behalf of Queen Victoria
that she did so. and a presentation to
the Princess upon that occasion was
equivalent to being presented to the
queen herself The Princess Of Wales,
who was to have presided a this func-
tion, was 'unavoidably' absent in the
south of France where she is visiting
her sister, the eX-Empress of Russia,
while the latter nurses her son, the long
suffering CzareWitch, said to be in the
last stages of consumption.
TO add to the triumph of the Countess
she was presented by no less a person
than the NarchiOness of Salisbury
wife of the Premier and was the cen

monds. over her shoulders were flat
bows with long ends of turquoise satin
edged with diamonds. her skirt was
richly hecked with diamonds and round
the hem of her train was pale blue vel
vet, embroidered with silver and dia-
mOnds. Her jewelry consisted of dia-
monds, turquOises and pearls.

DECISIONS OUT.
Supreme Court Hands Down
Important Decisions.
One Effecting Responsibility Of
Telegraph Companies
IN CERTAIN GASES,
Where Loss is Sustained by
NOn-DeIivery.
Other Decisions Including One
Appellate Court Case.

The supreme court has decided in the
case of the Western Union company
against Albert O. Woods that the COM
pany is liable for damages resulting
from negligence in the transmission
and delivery of messages.
The case was brought from Cowley
county on an appeal by the telegraph
company Woods brought action
against the Western Union to recover
damages alleging he had sustained
material loss through the failure OF the
company to deliver a certain message
on time. Woods had been feeding cat-
tie in COwley county which he had pre-
viOusly purchased through a Kansas
City commission house Having been
informed that Woods would make q
shipment soon, Jones and Bro, com-
mission merchants at the Union stock
yards, Kansas City. notified him
through the Western Union not to ship.
The telegram was delayed through neg
ligence and not delivered to Woods. The
cattle We're shipped and the loss sus-
tanned, the suit for damages brought
and the lower court found for Woods.
The case was appealed by the West
ern Union and the lower court decis-
ion affirmed.

There was no rain in the winter
wheat region this week until last night
when western and southern Kansas
was visited by from one-half to three
quarters of an inch of waterfall, which
extended into northern Oklahoma.
The outlook at this writing is for
heavy rains in Kansas and Oklahoma
today. On the whole, we cannot report

we admit that there is any important
