Those Doubtful Scott County School

county bond case. His motion was over
ruled and the legality of the bonds will
be tried at the next term of the district
court =
This is one of the outrages arising
from set of school commissioners who
were either corrupt or men of very poor
Judgment. They bought for the state
school fund as an investment $4,000 of
these bonds which could not have been
sold on the market. The county is now
trying to repudiate them. The bonds
were bought in 1892 under Governor
Humphreys last administration.

HUMBERT NEARLY FELL.
The Riots In Italy Were Really Demon
stratiOns Against the Monarchy.

The Riots In Italy Were Really Demon
stratiOns Against the Monarchy.
ROME, March 19.-The full Significance
and extent of the rioting in Italian cities
is now clearly apparent.
The newspaper reports were toned
down by the Press censors to the extent
of making them appear to be little more
than popular demonstrations of disap-
proval with the colonial policy of the
government and of opposition to the con-
tin ing of the campaign in Africa.
But it is an open secret that the rioting
had much greater significance. 1t con :
stituted a series of clear demonstrations
against King Humbert If not against the
monarchy itself. The troops in several
instances were with difficulty restrained
from joining the masses in their express
sions of rage and indignation at the
course events had taken, and there is no
denying that the king contemplated alb
dicating in favor of the crown prince,
Victor Emanuel, the prince of Naples, a
really brilliant and capable man. In
fact it is believed that the cabinets of
Berlin, Vienna and London were sounded
on this subject.

THIS Is SOCIALISM.

WARRINGTON, March 19.-The secre-

all known reputs BILE growers and dealers

asking them to furnish at reasona BILE
prices to the department ten million
packets of garden, field and flower seeds
beginning with asparagus and ending
with wheat.
This number of packets will give to

BRITAIN IN THE SOUDAN.
Expected She Will Annex Terri tory
as Large as the United States.


as Large the United States.
ROME. March 19.-The Italia today
commenting upon the British Egyptian
advance up the Nile says: The Egyptian
advance on Dongola is great advantage
to Italy.
1t will check the swarming of the der
wishes toward the Italian territory, it
may prevent the fall of Cassala and it
will enable the Italian army in Africa to
recover from the shock and disorder
which followed the battle of Adowa; it
will enable the Italians to relieve and
reinforce their garrisons and obtain much
better terms from King Menelik should
it be found in the long run advisable to
bring about "peace with honor"
The British advance has also solidifed
the dreibund even if it has not formed a
quadruple alliance (Which is most seri-
ously discussed here.)
The Italia admits that Great Britain
has won every neat game of cards in the
political tournament which has been in
progress since the accession of Nicholas
II. to the throne of Russia. 1t is pointed
out that all danger of any serious objec-
ton upon the part of France at least, to
her indefinitely continued occupation of
Egypt, is rapidly vanishing beneath the
influence of the dreibund now her open
ally, and that the advance up the
Nile is probably only the first
move in another game which will
possibly result in the reconquest of the
Soudan. the crushing of the Mahdists for
all time. and the annexation of an i'm
mense. and in places fertile. region to
Egypt, and apparently to Great Britain,
which, while Strengthening and enrich
ing that country also increases the power
OF the hold which Great Britain already
has over the Suez canal, the most inn
portant route to her Indian possessions.

GRAVE ROBBERY CASES
May Not Be Tried in Shawnee County
at All.
EFFORTS TO GET CHANGE OF VENUE

The Defendants Have Hopes That the
''Law's DeIay'' Will Save Them
From Any Trial at AII-COurt
House News.
Those indicted by the grand jury for
completely in the grave robberies will
not be tried at the April term of the dis
trict court if they can prevent it
An application will be made in a few
days for a change of venue from the
county. The change will be asked for on
the grounds of the bias and prejudice of
the people of Shawnee county-which
they consider so great as to make it i'm
possible to secure twelve unprejudiced
men in the county to try the case.
The application will be made for DR..
J. E Minney, dean of the medical col
lege, and the result of his application
will govern the other cases. Ferry &
Doran are collecting great number of
afidavits for DR.. Minney, in which the
signers swear to the prejudice among the
people az ainst the dean. They also have
large scrap book flied with the clip
pings of everything that has ever been
published about the robberies. This
book will be fled with the affidavits.
In connection with this a remark made
by member of the medical college fac
ulty day or two ago is significant.
THESE cases will never come up" said
he. "Those indicted will get change
of venue at the next term. That will
take them over the summer and the cases
can be continued in the fall. By that
time a new county attorney will be in
Office, and as he won't know anything
about them. the prosecutions will never
amount to anything"
The application for the change must
be on file before the next term of the
district court begins, April 16.

A NEW KIND OF FLOUR.

Kafar Germ Being Ground In Kansas with
Factoring Success.
Secretary Coburn of the state board of
agriculture is interested in some Kansas
mills which are making flour of kafir
corn. This crop has heretofore been
planted only for forage purposes and
though the yield of grain is always
enormous, it has been practically useless.
Tests made at the state agricultural coll
lege show the average to be 90 bushels
per acre and the price is now twenty
cents per bushel. This will make the
-four much cheaper than wheat dour.
Secretary Coburn baked some biscuits
from samples of the -four and he SAYS
the bread is of superior quality some
what like the Ralston bread

4 n1scouR4G1NG THICK.

There are many tricks in trade, but one of the meanest ones is that which has just come to light in London where the judge of the police court of the Thames rendered judgment in a case insignificant in itself, but in which, there was some valuable information to consumers of canned goods. A driver was charged with having inflicted cruel treatment on horses, an offense which is severely punished by English law The charges having been proven, he was rather heavily fined. The interest centered upon the employer of the brute, who, of course, appeared in be- half of his man and testified to the kind disposition of the latter. As he was explaining that the driver was daily intrusted with the care of driving to the docks and putting on board horses bound for Rotterdam, the mag istrate remarked that the ill-treated horses were so old they could hardly stand up, and asked the employer to what use the Dutch put such animals In reply, the employer explained, in the most unconcerned manner, that there existed in Rotterdam and Ant werp large and important factories where the invalid omnibus horses of London were converted into excellent canned beef and retailed in sealed box es throughout Europe with the Ameri- , can labels. This industry absorbs, 1t is said, more than 26,ooo horses every year.
 No wonder American canned meats have suffered in reputation. Canned horse may be good, but it is certainly not as good as good canned beef.
