The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1896-02-14

THE esteemed STATE JOURNAL is
righteously indignant over the fact that
Senator Baker has located himself snugly
in the senatorial camp of the gold bugs.
Let's see; wouldn't it be appropriate for
the editor of the JOURNAL to NIX grain
of remorse in with his indignation? 1t
was that paper which opened the fight
on Ralph Burton in the senatorial cam
paign, and instead of raising the ques-
ton of the candidates standing on the
money question, made the question of
morality" the issue. By concentrating
all the anti Burton forces, the legisla-
ture and the JOURNAL succeeded in get
ting 'nice man" for senator-so nice
that he has no use for western ideas nor
western interests. He didn't know any
thing to start with, and he has persist
emily refused to learn. In plain words,
he is a chump. His name is Lucien
Baker.-Topeka Advocate.
Misguided as Senator Baker is, we still
believe he is above the influence of cor
porations and monopolies; this is some
thing that we could not always have been
sure of, had Mr.. Burton been made the
senator from Kansas. Lucien Baker
was an accident. The people could not
have whom they wanted, and they would
not have Burton. 1t is the fault of our
clumsy political system. United States
senators should be elected by the people.

THE COUNTY COURT HOUSE.
A. II. Vance Consents to Act as
Judge
IN TIE MODEL STORE CASE

Items of Interest About the Court
HOuse-PersOnaIs and M1sce1lAne-
GUS.
A. Fl. Vance has RECONSTRUCTED his re-
fusal TO act as judge pro tenn in the Model
Supply store receivership case. He has
consented to decide the matter, and his
law office is at present court house.
This means that everything will have
to be done over again. The parties went
back to the very beginning of the affair
last evening and argued the demurrer of
the defendants to the petition for re-
ceiver. This morning tho lawyers On
both sides cited their authorities on the
law points involved and Judge Vance
took the matter under ADJUSTMENT
Sam Radges is supposed to not be
receiver yet. If Judge Vance sus-
tains the demurrer no receiver can
be appointed, but if he over
rules it Radges will, of course, be ap-
pointed over again. But of course, the
attorneys for ". II. Davis and the others
will not stop there. They have a course
which they will follow if the decisions
should go against them.
1t seems hardly likely that Mr.. Vance
will reverse Judge Hazen and the So :
preme court, although lawyers agree
while the appointment of the receiver
was the best thing to be done they think
it was. perhaps. somewhat out of the
ordinary to appoint a receiver over the
protest of the first mortgage holder, Mr..

sTRAIGHr GOODS WANTED.

The Arizona Republican, in a recent
editorial, outlines its idea Of what should
be done by the approaching Republican
national convention. That the nominee
will be an eastern man, with eastern
ideas on the money question, the Repub-
lican considers a certainty, and it urges
therefore that the western and southern
delegates sheald make fight for plat
form which will pledge the nominee not
to veto any free coinage measure which
may be passed by congress, or bride the
peoples representatives by patronage to
vote against such a measure. This, says
the Republican, would transfer the whole
silver question to the congressional dis
tricts, where it properly belongs, and
concludes as follows:
An eastern man for president. with a
western man for vice president, on a
platform leaving the financial question
entirely to congress and pledging the
president to not interfere, either by veto
or official patronage, is an honest and
just solution of the whole ques-
ton that the east should concede in
the national convention; but the west
and the south should be prepared 10 fight
for if necessary. There is not much In
but there is great and vital principle
involved in the platform.
1t is extremely doubtful if such a
course would satisfy the people. The
Democratic party has had some recent
experience in nominating an eastern
man on a western platform and the
whole country is familiar with the re-
suit The platform was wholly ignored
after election.
Might there not be a Grover Cleve-
land in the Republican party able to Sc
cure the nomination? Suppose John
Sherman should be nominated; does any
one suppose that he would have any re-
gard for the party platform? Men like
Sherman and Cleveland are platforms in
themselves. Il will be found safer to
nominate a man whose convictions are
known to be in harmony with the party's
declaration of principles
This is not a good year for straddles or
compromises There are too many men
who. if they do not find what they want
in their own party, are disposed to look
for it in another. A gold standard can
didate on silver platform or on a nom
committal platform will be a poor vote
winner this year.
There is pretty certain to be a gold
ticket aud a silver ticket in the field and
there the line of battle will be drawn.
The party which attempts to compromise
will more than likely be third in the race

THE STATE JOURNAL is hard to please.
It's managing editor seems determined TO
carry on a bitter fight in the Republican
party over the financial question. Col
feyville Journal.
No, indeed. The STATE JOURNAL is
not carrying on any fight The whole
state, the whole country, is carrying on
the fight No citizen and no voter, no
faction or party can dodge it or straddle
it. The Republican party of Kansas
must get on one side or the other of it;
and it is foregone conclusion that nine
tenths of the Republicans of Kansas
are on the silver side. The gold men
who are standing out against their party
are making the fight.

The statement has been sent out
from Reno county that criminal prosecu-
tions in that county last year cost the
people $4,935.53. A STATE JOURNAL
subscriber in Jackson county writes that
his county paid out for the single quarter
ending January IS, $3,621.90 for the
same purpose, or nearly as much as
Reno expended in a year. Both sums
are excessive and the people get very
little in return for their money. 1t is
evident that some reform is needed in
the matter of court costs, and the most
important step that could be taken in
that direction would be the adjustment
of the fee system. The taxpayers might
be still further relieved by placing con-
victed criminals at some sort of preduc-
tive labor until the proceeds of their work
at fair wages amounted to enough to pay
the cost of their prosecution. A system
of excellent roads could be built up in
this way The people are now taxed for
the roads and are taxed for the criminals

Arfrona,s Stone Forest.

The regions of the Little Colorado
river in Arizona abound in wonderful
vegetable petrifactions-whole forests
being found in some places which are
hard as flint and which look as if but
recently stripped of their foliage.
Some Of these stone trees are standing
just as natural as life, while others are
piled across each other just like the
fallen monarchs of a real wood forest.
Biologists say that these stone trees
were once covered to the depth of 1000
feet with mari, which transformed
them from wood into solid rock. The
mari, after the lapse of ages, washed
cut, leaving some of the trees standing
in an upright position. The majority
of them, however, are piled helter-

John Harris Executed for the NJ urdier
of Matthew SpruelI.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-John alias
"Patsy" Harris, the negro murderer. was
hanged in the District of Columbia Jail
here at 1877 this morning.
The crime for wlic John alias PATSY"
Harris today paid the death penalty was
committed on the afternoon of July 4
last in that part of Georgetown known as
Boston" Matthey Spruell, the muir
dered man, and Harris, both colored,
lived in the same house together with
their families. On the day of the
murder Harris caue home under
the influence of liquor and under
standing that Spruell had refused to
speak to his wife, Immediately started
out looking for trouble. He found
Spruell in barber shop and fred at the
wall of the room, merely to scare him.
Spruell becoming frightened ran into
the street pursued by Harris, who fired
upon him with fatal effect.
There was little or no provocation for
the murder, although Harris claimed on
the witness stand that SprueH at first
made an assault upon him with a razor.
Harris was % years old and leaves a

tographic plate the rays cast a figure of
the concealed object on the plate. His
most sensational experiment has been
to photograph the skeleton of living
man, the rays passing through the
clothes and flesh and leaving on the
plate only the outline of the bony frame
work. One scientific enthusiast who Of
fered himself as subject is said to have
been so Mortified at seeing a picture of
his own grinning skull that he has hard
ly slept an hour since and has almost
become insane. A bullet imbedded in
the bone of a living man 8 leg has been
photographed and located by this pecul-
lar process. Photographs have been
made of objects Enclosed in wooden and
metal boxes and the most incredible
marvels performed. The scientific jour
mails all over the world have been specu-
lating on the possibilities and wonder
full results which this great discovery
may bring about.
Physicians have been especially inter
ested in the application of this new
Photographic medium to surgery and
predict that if it proves to be all that is
now claimed the science of medicine
will be revolutioniZed.
Professor Roentgen is a professor of
physics in the University of Wurzburg,
Bavaria, but since he has brought out
his new discovery he has been kept busy
explaining its marvels to an jpcredulous
world. Professor Roentgen has been at
Wul zburg since 1888. He studied at
Zurich and Strasburg. Since 1873 he
has been teacher at Strasburg, Wurt-

PROFESSOR ELLIOT. animals, but dead
ones, and many of his specimens will
be stuffed and perhaps mounted on the
spot. He is to start about March l and
may be gone a year or two. The project,
which will be quite expensive to carry
out and a hazardous one as we'll, is to be
undertaken because of the great difficulty
which the directors of the museum have
found in making a complete collection
of the rare and almost extinct animals
of the dark continent.
Professor Elliot is to be accompanied
only by Mr.. C. E. Ake1y, the taxiderm-
list of the museum. He is to have ample
means at his command, and the expedi-
ton will be one of the most important
that have ever been undertaken in the in
terests of zoology.
Professor Elliot is no novice at hunt
ing, having shot all kinds of game in
nearly all parts of the earth. This time
he proposes to bag some big specimens.
He will beard the barrel mouthed hippo
potamus in his native swamp and lay
low the mighty elephant in the forest.
He expects to kill giraffes, zebras, gnus,
lions, leopards and other strange ami
mails which are familiar only to the
men who draw the circus posters. Ac-
cording to the present plans, the pro-
fessor and Mr.. Akely will leave civili-
zation on the east coast about June 1,
establishing a permanent headquarters
at Fort Salisbury, British outpost, and
penetrate into the wilds of Mashona-
land. They are to travel by means of
OK carts and will be accompanied by a
big retinue of natives.
Professor Elliot is one Of the most
prominent biologists in the country. He
is a native of New York city and is
about SIS years of age. He has written
many books on his favorite science and
is a member of the Royal society of Ed
inhurgh and of various geological socie-
ties in Europe. Several foreign associa-
tions and governments have bestowed
upon him decorations and medals in
recognition of his scholarly achieve
ments.

DIR. SIMON A FAKER.
Edison Laughs at she Claims OF the
MAN Who Photographed His Brain

Edison Laughs at the Claims OF the
Man Who Photographed His Brain
NEW YORK, Feb 1@-When Thomas
A. Edison's attention was called to the
claims of DIR. Carleton Simon, that he
had succeeded in getting photograph
of his own brain, by system OF pro-
pulsion. and attraction and without the
use of the X rays, Or anything analogous
thereto, he smiled, and said that in his
opinion, there was nothing in it, He said
that no such result could have
been obtained by the use Of any
system that he knew OF. Whlie
he would not go so far Ms to say that the
statements of DR.. Simon were false, yet
he was very skepticai on the subject.
In concluding MIR. Edison said that De-
fore the results claimed by DR.. Simon
could be accepted by scientific men, they
would have to stand the test OF search :
ing and critical examin alton.
