BARNETT is DEAD.
The Suicide Who Took Morphine Ex-
pired Before Nightfall

Charles 2. Barnett, the man who yes
terday was found at Mrs. A H Coch-
rams lodging house, unconscious from
lies dead at DeMoss & PenwelPs
mOrgue. He died at a little past three
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
For some time he had been despOnd-
ent, and friends of his deny that there
took the Saxton gold cure for the liquor
habit. He had been hard drinker and
had tried to stop using it. The gold
treatment had only a temporary effect
and he was soon back in his old habits
of dissipation. R. J. Barnett a cousin
who used to be in business with the de-
ceased, says that after he got to drink
opiates to conteract the effects of a pro-
tracted spree. Often he would disap-
pear for week.
Coroner WesterfieId held an inquest
at the morgue this morning and the
verdict of the jury was: That Chas
2. Barnett, 43 years old came to his
death by an overdose of an opiate IN
known to US, and the purpose to US un-
known"
Barnett was a man who was reserved
in manners when sober, and exceeding
ly gruf when intoxicated. No one
knew anything about his affairs There
is considerable doubt as to whether he
took the morphine with suicidal intent
or to relieve pain. He has not been on
a spree for some time it is said, and
this gives color to the theory that the
op1ate was taken with a view to end
ing his life
The funeral services over the remains
will be held at the Third Presbyterian
church tomorrow afternoon at o clock

IT WILL BE COOLER.
For There was Six Inches of Snow at
Helena, Last Night

'HThe weather will be much cooler
this week" said WeatherObserver Jen-
nings this afternoon as he closed one
eye in a knowing way and looked far
away off to the northwest. six inch
es of snow fell at Helena, Mont, yes
terday afternoon and last night, and
the high which occasioned that snow
will pay US a visit before it gives up
its ghost And as he turned from his
inspection of the meteorological con-
ditiOns and prepared to brew his Gus
tOmary afternoon tea, the look on the
face of the veteran sheik of the wealth
er department proclaimed that the
statement was made in all seriousness
and that he knew what he was talking G
about. And so the people of Kansas
may prepare to don their overcOats
hours.
At O'Clock this afternoon the ther-
mOmeter on the top of the Columbian
building registered Sc degrees, and the
temperature registered on the street
level was 2 degrees higher. At that
hour the wind was blowing from the
southeast at the rate of IS miles an
hour. The rate of speed varies from
16 to "a miles an hour.
Showers this afternoon, showers and
cooler tonight, clearing and cooler to-
morrow, is the prediction sent out to-
day. Showers were falling in the vi
cinity of Topeka at 2 o'clock this after
noon, and it is probable that Topeka
will be similarly visited before night.
The general indications throughout
the state today favor showers. The
temperature ranges from 80 to SO de-
grees with strong southeast winds. In
of the state good showers fell early
this morning.

GOVERNOR IN A QUANDARY.
The Wyandotte Feud Causing Him
More Trouble Than a Little.

The war in Wyandotte county be
tween the Trickett and anti-Trickett
factions of Republicans has broken out
with renewed strength. The state cen
traI committee have had a sub-commit-
tee at work on the case ever since the
state convention and thought they had
the matter solved and an smicable ar
rangement of the trouble, the commit
coming primaries to be held on Sat
urday, recommended to the governor
that he make a change in the board of
police commissioners. The governor
followed the advice of the committee
and removed o. Q. CIaflin and appoint
ed o. J. Peterson in his place.
This action on the part of the gov
ernor famed the embers into flame and
Sterrett and Worthington, the other
members of the board Immediately
wired their designations to the gov
ernor.
The governor was seen by a Journal
reporter this morning and said:
I don't know what action I shall
take" Here the governor laughed. Il
made the change supposing that it
would settle the matter and that it
was agreed to by all parties. I don't
the papers say that it has caused
fresh trouble. I can't say what action
I shall take in regard to filling the

signed. have no names under advise
ment and will probably have to wait

Young Colored Boys Arrested for
Stealing Watches.

A gang of four 11-year-Old coIored
boys, who have been running around

of them admitted having taken the
watches and confessed everything.
The boys names are Webb Bell Bert

A week ago today Bert Davis, who is

OAKLAND SCHOOL MIDDLE.
Oakland Schools Won't Open Monday
For Good Reasons.

Oakland is mixed up in another school
agitation and it has even gone so far
that one of the members of the school
board has left town and it is charged
that the mixture is the cause of it.
George L. Stone, a. Santa Fe switch
man, filed suit in the district court ask
ing that Geo. Brindle, clerk of the
school board there, be required by
mandamus to approve his bond as
treasurer.
The writ has been secured but Brindle
can't be found to serve it on
1t is openly charged that he is hiding.
b. P. Williams was formerly the
treasurer of the district and was re-
elected at the late school meeting in
July. He refused to qualify, however,
and early in August County Superin-
tendent Stout appointed Stone to sue
ceed him.
The first thing the board did was to
split on a teacher. It is said Brindle
insisted on giving his brOther-in-law
a place but that Stone and the other
member of the board We're not in favor
of employing Brindle's relation.
This made Brindle so mad it is said
that he refused to accept the bond Of
fered by Stone, though it was signed by
ten men whose responsibility in law ag-
gregates at least goo and of whom
DR.. L. H. Mum is one.
School was to have begun Monday
but as the situation now stands no
teacher can be hired in that place.
Stone won't come back because If he
does he will be compelled to make Will
Hams, who will vote against him, with
the other member, a member of the
board and while he is away Williams,
who would probably vote with Brindle,
is still member until Stone qualities
and is simply a pair for the director.
In speaking of Brindle this morning
c. M. StOckham, who is much inter
ested in the case, said: I am fully
satisfied that he is right on the state
line ready to push over out of the way
as soon as he sees some of US coming
He knows the officers here and knows
all our teams

WE WANT A
GOOD BRIDGE.
The Dispute About Quality OF
The Stone
That Is to Be Used For Com
crete
is MAKING TROUBLE.
Mr.. Hinckley and Mr.. Tweed
dale Differ Widely.
Topeka Only Interested In HaY-
ing the Best.

Much has been said and printed
about the selection of stone to be used
in making the concrete for the new
bridge across the Kansas river but the
question is no nearer solution than it
was a month ago.
superintendent Hinckley, who was
appointed by the county commissioners
made some tests and submitted a re-
port that the stone from Weaver in
Douglas county. is better than any
that could be found in this county for
the manufacture of the concrete.
This did not satisfy the board, who
want Shawnee county stone used if
possible, and Col. TweeddaIe. ex-city
engineer, was instructed to make some
tests. According to his report which
has been filed with the county commits
sioners the Weaver stone is the least
available of any. He showed the board
that concrete made with the Weaver
stone would break at a pressure Of go
pounds, while the stone from the fair
grounds quarries resisted more than
twice that weight. In fact, he found
that what superintendent HinckIey
calls mud stone" at the fair grounds
made the strongest concrete.
Col Tweeddale claims that the fact
that the stone is softer and conse-
quently the cohesive properties are
greater makes it more suitable. The
report was filed but the commissioners
took no action.
Superintendent HinckIey is some
what exercised over the report of the
tests made by Col. Tweeddale. He
thinks that some duplicity was prac-
ticed in mixing the ceLnents.
4 made about 800 tests" said he
land a result selected the Weaver
stone as the best concrete stone in this
section of the state. The tests made by
Col. TWeeddale speak for themselves
It don't take an engineer, an expert or
even a. tricRster, to establish the fact
that the yellow fair grounds mud
stone does not make the best concrete
There is some trick. 1 do not say Col.
TweeddaIe did it but he must have had
knowledge of it.

Neither Of the contractors are here
now but w. H. Keepers is expected on
Friday of next week Until then the
matter will stand where it is now, in
an unsettled condition Col Tweed
dale was the original Melan bridge
man in Topeka and it was he who in
duced the county commissioners to
adopt that style of bridge.
1t was supposed that the old bridge
would be moved over to the temporary
pile foundation but it will not be NOV
ed until a week from next Sunday.

pendous.

St Louis, Mo, Sept. "a special to

for Powers and Clifford, representing
the sound money contingent, will be
