SHAWNEE co. LOOTED.
How Every Taxpayer Pays for
the Quarrels of Worth
less Characters.

A case was tried in the district court
yesterday which illustrates the methods
employed by officers to make costs.
Some time in August Mr. and Mrs
Tom johnson who ran a restaurant on
lower Kansas avenue had an aIterca-
ton and Johnson was arrested by the
police. Instead of being tried in that
court where there are no costs a war
rant was issued by Justice McClintock
and he was turned over to the state and
tried. Johnson was found guilty and
the case was appealed.
Today in the district court Mrs. John
son said that she did not wish to swear
out the warrant against her husband
but was induced to do so by Deputy
County Attorney Guy. She said that
he went to her house on two occasions
and when she insisted on the case be-
ing dismissed he said that he would
drop it if she paid him SIS which was
the amount of the costs, he said. Mrs
johnson testified that when she SWOre
tot ne complaint it was in the belief that
a woman who had caused the trouble
between her and her husband would be
arrested.
Deputy Guy took the stand and testi-
fed that Mrs. Johnson knew what she
was doing when she swOre to the COM
pIaint and told him that she wanted
her husband arrested.
If it were not for the costs which the
county has to pay these numerous pet
ty quarrels would never be heard of in
court.
The next legislature should annihi-
late this system of robbing the people
and the Topeka TaXpayers' league
members in order to bring pressure to
bear to secure legislation on this sub

GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
Senator Cahery Will Endeavor to
Have all Quarantine Regulation
Administered from Wash

Washington, Oct. Ex-senator CaTery
of Louisiana, who has just come to Wash
ington with his family to remain during
the winter. had quite an interesting ex-
perience on his journey. He came from
the Pacific coast and passed through New
Orleans, although he stopped but q short
time in that city. His trip from that
city north until he reached Atlanta was
interrupted frequently by state agents
who inspected his bill of health and asked
him many questions.
He will confer with Surgeon General
Wyman and endeavor to prepare a bill
which will place under federal control all
quarantine regulations and the manage
meiIt of epidemic diseases. He speaks
very highly of the management OF the
present epidemic by the United States
marine hospital service and says that
the local regulations as to the quarantine
are different in the various towns and
that even towns differ from counties, re-
sulting in much confusion.

be. People say that he has " a fnicky

reached. This century of deaths has oc-
CURED among less than 800 cases that
have been reported to the board since
early in September when the first case
made its appearance in New Orleans. AS
usual, however, the record has been
swelled by the terrible criminal neglect of
the poorer classes. The new cases ex-
ceeded thirty and the deaths reached
seven. The greatest number of deaths
in single day has been nine. The cases,
as on other days, have bObbed up in all
directions The quarantine system is still
in effect, but it does not seem to restrain
the spread of infection and the opinion
seems to be borne out that yellow fever
is not contagious. but infectious.

that the man had died from a genuine

The body was Immediately buried.
Later on during the day the coroner
was called to view the body of Antonio

of these cases had been absolutely con-

Had TO Pay $4,000
Of Republican Debts Say Popu-
lists, Accounts for Part of Deficit.

It develops that during the last
campaign, the Republican state ad-
ministration contracted debts to the
amount of $22, ,221-36, to pay Whlch there
was not money in the treasury to the
credit of the state house fund DuU TINS
fact was not made public during the
campaign for reelection and the pubic
was not aware that state warrants
were then, as there are today taken up
by the banks, not being paid by the
state treasurer for want OF FUNDS
The debts were contracted by the
executive council on state house inn
prOvements, and were paid February
II, 1897, by the POpulist executive coun-
Gil the members of which now declare
that they have been worked by their
predecessors.
''That is to say said Secretary w. E.
Bush today, there was no money to
pay for the improvements contracted
for by the Republicans and they left
US q legacy of unpaid bills.
''The law provides" continued Mr..
Bush that where the council contracts
debts when there is no money to pay
them, the members become liable for
the same.
''The action of the council was man
ifestly wrong as the warrants were
registered in the treasurer's office, and
in some instances months elapsed be
fore they were paid, because of the lack
of funds"
The bills which the Populist council
paid in February soon after their in
auguration, and the dates upon which
the vouchers InefeIOF were TeBlSIeEGd
