The Durrant Case.

SAN FRANCISCO March 3.-The su-
prenie court this afternoon affirmed
the decision in the Durrant case, so
that the murderer Of Blanche Lamont
can now he sentenced to he hanged, by
the superior court as soon as that tribu-
nal desires.
When Durrant was informed that
the supreme court refused to grs Mt him
a new trial, he burst into tears and
said "this is IA very cruel wOrld.n He
said that some day truth would pre-
vail, and he would be vindicated. He
seemed TO take some comfort from the
report that Chief Justice Beatty would,
in few days, file dissenting opinion.
THINKS DURRANT WILL HANG.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 4.-District
Attorney Barnes, who conducted the
prosecution sgainst Theodore Durrant,
for the murder Of Blanche Lamont in
Emanuel church, thinks the murderer
will be hanged within 12O days. He
says the remit,ur will be handed down
Within 80 days. Then Durrant will be
taken before the superior court for SELL
tence. The defense will probably ask
rehearing before the supreme court,
hut the motion will likely be denied.
The defense will then be compelled to
go to the governor as the court Of last
resort. 1t is considered unlikely that
the governor will interfere with the ex-
'ecution Of the sentence. Durrant's
attorneys have threatened to carry the
case into the federal courts, but upon
what grounds cannot be guessed.

Secure a Good Library.

Our people have now the opportu.
mly to secure an excellent library. A.
5. Mcdonald, agent for the II. Parme-
lee Travelling Library System, is in
ouI city with view to establishing a
section Of this system here, The plan
is certainly commendable one.
A l000-voume library of standard
books is divided into twenty sections
Of fifty volumes each. These sections
are shipped In iron bound boxes, one
to each Of twenty different towns on
system of railway. After the sections
have remained three months they are
forwarded to the next towns, the sec
tions being thus in,erchanged in such
u manner as to give each the 1000 vol
umes IN five years.
The 1000 volumes comprising each
series are in every way desirable books.
They are the outgrowth OF ten years
experience, devoted exclusively to the
library business. Each fifty.vOlume
section is composed proportionately of
biography, literature, history, historic
fiction, general fiction, poetry, travel,
religion, physical science, wit and
humor, translation, and juvenile. AS
to the style of binding and quality of
paper, we can safely assert that the
books are sufficiently attractive for the
largest libraries, being mostly bound
in leather backs
The company contracts to furnish
the 1000 books, keep them bound and
in good shape, replace any that may be
destroyed by fire or accident, provide
a librarian and keep the books circu-
lating for period of five years,
The company is thoroughly reliable,
being highly endorsed by ex-governor
Larrabee, of Iowa, and u large number
of well known educators. There is
nothing to fear from this source.
Takin. it all in all, we believe this
to be the very best plan of providing
libraries for the smaller towns that has
ever before been gotten up. Our clti,
zens should not miss this opportunity
of securing an excellent library at a
very small cost,

A Verdict for sixty-Eight Cents,

A case was tried Munuay before Judge
Burnett which had ludicrous side to
it. The title Of the ease was Martin
johnson vs. John Anderson, being an
appeal from Justice Hawkins court on
suit 10 recover money. Before Judge
Hawkins johnson was awarded S8.
Anderson appealed the case, aud th'
jury yesterday awarded Anderson 6S
cents. The suit was over dispute on
an account for farm work performed by
Mr.. johnson for Mr., Anderson. They
could not agree and went 10 law.
When the case came up before Judge
Burnett there were seven attorneys en-
gagged, II. C. Watson and Elkins d
Cannon for tlle plaintiff and Kelley l.
Curl aud Wealherford y Wyatt for the
defendant. As Judge Burnett noted
this array Of legal talent he SAID he was
not quite sure but he should fine the
attorneys to cover the amount involved
and not try it, but the case was tried
before a jury, resulting in verdict, as
stated, for the defendant in the sum OF
IS cents. Heiald.

GOOD BALL TODAY.
Stars and St. Louis to Contest on
the Diamond

The ball game between the Star and
st. Louis teams this afternoon prom
Uses to be one of unusual interest.
While there is absolutely no ill-feeling
between the teams the ST. Louis boys
will make a decided effort to show the
public what they can do to make up
for the unpleasant episode of last Mon
day.
The absence of Hansman, Simerson
and Woods from the team makes it
weaker than at the beginning of the
season, though Holt makes a very
good out-fielder.
The Stars, it is said, have a surprise
up their sleeve, which they will spring

ment, and he will occupy the pitchers

and it is said that he plays the game
so close to his belt that the st. Louis
boys will have to treat him to chloro-
form before he will give one of them
a base on balls.
If this report is true, then look out
for a good game between the Stars and

Tiff, ranging from 81 a word to India ur
to 1926 to Queensland, $2.66 to Japan
and 1922 to British Guiana, costing the
merchants over 100000 and the Gov
eminent 100000 per annum. He said
experts had estimated that cables could
be constructed equal in every respect
to those existing, and operated by the
State at one-tenth of present prices,
and advocated the appointment of a
Royal Commission to consider the
question. The matter is pending.

does not want any misunderstanding
about the protested game. AS the pro-
test was not entered until after the
game was over, he claims the right to
have his team finish their half of the
ninth inning before the regular game
this afternoon. If this is denied him
the disputed game will have to stand
as a draw, as he will not allow the
team to play the full game over. If ii
does not rain this afternoon, the spec
tators will get their moneys worth.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES
To Pay Witness Fees Which E. E
Good Collects as Proxy.

The city council will probably be called
| upon soon to pass an ordinance which is
| designed to prevent the buying of witness
| fees.
This has been a question Of much i'm
! portance to county officials for several
/ years. Thousands of dollars are lost to
| the county every year because of the
| practice of fee buying. E. B. Good has
| practically a monopoly of the business
and it is safe to say that hve-siXths Of
all witness fees are paid to Mr.. Good in
stead of to the person who earns them
The witness sells his right to the fees to
Mr.. Good and the buyer secures a sub
stantiaI discount which amounts to
enough to at least furnish a good living
for two families. The usual discount is
from 10 to % per cent.
The manner in which the county loses
by this transaction is because there are
no fees left unclaimed under this method.
In former years hundreds of dollars We're
not claimed and the county therefore was
that much ahead. As each witness in
criminal cases is seen by Mr.. Good there
is no longer failure to claim fees on
the part of any witness.
The county commissioners have tried to
regulate this business. but to no purpose.
They issued order to keep Mr. Good
out of the clerks office, but he went on
buying just the same. The new rule with
reference to petty cases in justice courts
has cut into the fee buying business to
some extent and the measure which Will
be introduced in the city council will
probably put a stop TO it altogether.
The plan is to have an ordinance passed
1evvine a license on all fee buyers, and it
is nroDosed to make the license so large
as to make it prohibitive. By that means
a man might be arrested for buying fees
without a license and the license would
be so large that the business would not
be profitable.
The Taxpayers league is interested in
this measure, and it will come up for
,7ieo,,gsio,, at a future meeting and an
ordinance will be agreed upon for intro
duction in the city council as soon as pos

A. M'KTNLEY LOBBYIST.
The Presidents Brother Has Agreed
to Work Upon Congress This
Winter

WaShing gtOn. Nov. IA Abner McKin-
lev brother of the president, is to ap-
pear at the capitol as soon as congress
opens in the role of a professional lob
byist. The measure to which he viii de-
vote his attention, and for which, it IS
reported, he will be paid handsomely,
provides for a higher grade in the let
Ter carriers service. The bill was in
trOduced in the last house by Congress-
man Keifer of Minnesota and in the
senate by Senator Mitchell of Oregon.
1t esta blishes a 81 200 grade for long
and faithful service. The plan meant
the increased expenditure by the gov
eminent of a large amount annually,
and owing to the conditions of the
treasury at the time, certain legislators
who otherwise were in favor of the
measure, thought it would be better to
defer its passage to a time when finan-
ciaI conditions should be more favora-
ble.
The measure was handled in the last
congress with unusual skill ana was
pressed with such energy that had the
speaker allowed it to be reported by the
postal committee in the house nothing
could have prevented its passage. The
friends of the measure among the con-
gressnen and senators naturally have
supposed that the association of letter
carriers would place the bill in the same
hands as before, but recently it has
leaked out that they have made a new
deal. Abner Mckinley has contracted
to lobby for the bill before congress. A
well known Republican congressman
and a warm friend of the president said
today when commenting upon the ar
'.The Whisky Trust and the Star
Route scandals pale into insignificance
before the sight of a member of the
family of the chief executive lobbying
It would be interesting reading could
the world at large know what passes
when Abner Mckinley interviews
Speaker Reed on the subject of allow
ing the bill to come up
''I, ike many others, had favored the
passage of the measure, but hereafter
we prefer to fight this measure and it's
passage.
Two prominent congressman already
have signified their intention of ac-
quainting- the president with the deal
and asking him to request his brother
for the sake of the administration, to
withdraw from this transaction.

wAsHBURN VS. MANHATTAN.
The Two Football Teams to Meet at
Athletic Park Saturday.

The Washburn college foot ball team
will meet the team from the Agricultu-
raj college of Manhattan next Satur-
day afternoon at Athletic park. About
two weeks ago Washburn won from
the Agricultural team at Manhattan
by the small score of to 0.
Washburn'S team has been badly
crippled since their last game with
Manhattan, and the lineup can hardly
be recognized as the one that won
from the farmer boys before. Farror
has given way to Miller as right half
Brown takes StahIs place at right end
YOst has been forced to give his posi-
ton to Cell, who was center for the
team last year. Skinner at left tackle
was forced to resign in favor of VIII
liams. Bishop at left end has been
substituted by Newton. Captain Fin
lay has been forced to quit the game,
and Stahl has given up his place at
right end and gone behind the line.
Stahl is good in the new position, but
it leaves the right wing of the team
badly crippled. The Manhattan team
is probably as strong as when they
played WaShburn before.
