FRANK DUREIN'S BEER.
The Grand Jury is Now Investigating
the Policemen
WHO RAIDED DUREIN'S CELLAR
Other Matters of Interest at the COun-
ty Court House Today.

Other Matters of Interest at the COun-
ty Court House Today.
The doings of the Thirsty four are
being investigated today by the grand
jury. The policemen who stole Frank
Durein's beer are in some danger of
being indicted for larceny.
Ex-Special Officers George Matthews
and John Haisch were compelled to rep
resent the quartette today as ex-Police-
men Hobson and Johnston were not in the
city. Qobson is in the country to attend
his father-in-law, who is sick, and John
stOn is in Kansas City, where it is said he
has secured employment in a packing
house.
Frank Durein was first on the stand
this morning. He was followed this
afternoon by Charles Schnaibel, of Grad
dock and Schnaibel, cigar dealers, whose
place Of business is few doors south of
Fifth street, near the Durein wine cellar.
Schaaibel testified that his cellar was
accidentally left open the same night
Durein's cellar was robbed. He had
found it locked the next morning
with the key in the lock. Johnston and
Hobson called that evening and said
they had found the door open and locked
it and carried the key until early morn
ing, when they put it in the door again.
He had discussed the fact with Mr.. Du-
rein.
Elk Officer Haisch followed him. He
said he did not understand they were
robbing anyone, but went with Johnston
and Hobson because they said it was ''all
right" He thought they knew what
they were about.
Some of the policemen say that the in
vestigation was instigsted by Grand
Juror W. F. Niece, who is spoken of as a
jointist. and whose son, Ross Niece, was
arrested Saturday evening for selling
liquor
The jury went into session this morn
ing in the new court house. It occu-
pied the banquet hall of the Grand Army
rooms on the third floor. Indictments
are expected tomorrow

From a Finsncial Point of View.

81 beg your PARDON said the man
with the slightly bald head who sat in
a parquet seat near one of the boxes in a
down town theater the other evening.
II beg your pardon, he repeated, ''but
would you mind looking at the figures
on this check and telling me what they
are? I'm little nearsighted. -
The youngest member Of the noisy box
party, an amiabIe looking youth with
highly plastered hair, suspended his
conversation with the interesting blond
in the green dress a moment, leaned
over the front of the box, and in answer
to the questioner, who had risen to his
feet and was smilingly holding out for
his inspection the check end Of ticket,
he said
Certainly, sir. The figures are
$3.50"
"Well," rejoined the questioner,
CHATS exactly what paid 10 hear this
play tonight, and I'm going to get the
worth of my money, or I'll lift my
voice right now and raise a fuss and
make a scene. You'll oblige me by tell
ing the rest Of them. -
He was not disturbed again during
the evening. Chicago Tribune.

JUDGE HAzEN GETS APPLAUSE.

Says this Morning His Court Will Move in
Two Weeks-To Enforce New Rule.
Judge Hazen made speech to the at
torneys this morning in the district court
which called forth applause. It was
motion day and a great many lawyers
were present.
''Or Monday, March 2, two weeks
from today you will all come to court in
the new court house" said Judge Hazen,
and the attorneys clapped their hands
long and loud. "The commissioners have
notified me that the room will be ready
by next Monday. but after looking the
place over l think it will be better to
wait until the following week.
"There is a new rule which / want to
put into operation when the new room is
occupied, and that is about reinstating
cases which have been dismissed for
want of prosecution. l shall not rein
state them any more without good rea-
son. If attorneys are not present when
their cases are called for trial, they may
have to begin them over again"

WHO OWNS THE SCHOOL HOUSES.
Dispute to Who Are the PropriesOrs of
Those Taken Into the City.

Dispute to Who Are the Projectors of
Those Taken Into the City.
There ia something of disagreement
between the county aud city as to which
should pay the bonds on four school
buildings in Topeka. When the build
ings were erected they were not in the
city, but since then the council has ex-
tended the limits so as to take in the
school houses and part of the districts,
but not all of them.
State Attorney General Dawes. County
Attorney Stafford, County Superintend-
ent Stout and Jesse Shaw. president of
the board of education, held meeting
in the county attorneys office Saturday
to discuss the law in the case and bring
about settlement of the question.
The four districts are two west of the
city, one of them No. 3D. Walnut Grove,
and one east Those parts of these dis
tricts which were not taken into the city
by the council claim that the city should
pay the bonds which were issued by the
districts.

REFUSES TO PAY.
Science Healers Agitated Over the Con-
duct of a Farmer.

The Christian Science colony at Elk
Point, S. D.. is engaged in a curious
quarrel concerning the right of their heal
ers to demand compensation for alleged
cures. J. 3. Schreyer, over whose case the
difficulty arose, a farmer north of the
town, is not a believer in the doctrine,
but his wife, when he fell sick with fever,
arranged with a neighboring Christian
healer to give him treatment without his
knowledge, the doctrine requiring no faith
on the part Of the patient.
Strange to relate, the farmer recovered,
and, though a physician had attended
Schreyer, the Christian Scientist took full
credit for the cure and presented bill for
his services. Schreyer refused to settle, and
the healer threatened to take the matter
into the courts. The affair is the sensation
of the little community. Chicago Times
