Judge Hazen Has Decided in the
Huron Habeas Corpus Case.

G. A. Huron must allow his deposit
ton to be taken in the De Boissiere
Odd Fellows case or go to Jail. That
is what District Judge Hazen decided
today in the Huron habeas corpus case.
This is a part of the legal battle over
the estate of De EoiSsiere, who gave his
estate, valued at over $780, 900, to the
Odd Fellows for a home for orphans.
The gift was refused by the organiza-
ton and il has since been held by the
trustees, Judge Huron being one of
them.
The heirs of the old Frenchman COM
menced suit to recover the property
and Troutman & Stone bought their IN
terest. They wanted to know what
was in the record held by the trustees,
SO Judge Huron, who holds the books,
was summoned before a notary public
and asked to testify. He refused to an
Swer the questions and the notary or
dered him committed to jail He was
taken out on a writ of habeas corpus
and the supreme court decided that a
notary public cannot send a man to
jail for contempt.
Troutman & Stone then summoned
Judge Huron before a justice of the
peace. Again he refused TO answer
and again he was ordered committed TO
Jail. This time David OveSmyer went
before Judge Hazen and made appli-
cation for a writ of habeas corpus on
the ground that the justice was not a
judicial officer and therefore could not
commit for contempt.
Judge Hazen decided today that a
justice of the peace is a judicial officer
and therefore has the power to COM
init for contempt. The case will be
appealed to the supreme court

Same Old Threat of the Colored
Brethren to the Republicans.

w. A. Belts, editor of the National
Reflector, the official organ of the col
ored Republicans of Kansas, who was
in the city today, is authority for the
statement that the colored Republicans
of Kansas intend at the next state con-
vention of the party to secure the nom
ination of w. B. Townsend of Leaven-
worth as a candidate for state auditor
or refuse to support the ticket.
81 have just been to Leavenworth,
where I had a. conference with Senator
Baker, said Mr. Belts this afternoon,
land 1 told him plainly that the ap
pointment of two colOred men as spit
toon cleaners at Washington is not
sufficient recognition for a party with a.
vote of 900 in Kansas.
1.-THE time has passed in Kansas" ex-
claimed Mr.. Belts with emphasis,
when the Republican campaigners can
wave the bloody shirt and thereby drive
the colored men into booths and vote
them like slaves. We will no longer
he slaves to the Republican par
ty. We will have recognition, or we
will leave the party. This sentiment
is general in Kansas, and we mean
what we say he concluded.

OVER A mILE A MINUTE.
Big Four Carries a Theatrical Compa-
ny 1913 Miles in 121 Minutes

ST. Louis, Sept. 1.-Yardmaster
Bridges, Engineer c. c. Reding and
Conductor Michael Mansfield of the Big
Four railway yesterday received the
congratulations of a large number of
friends, and are highly elated over the
successful run of engine No 100, pulling
train No IL.
The remarkable time made was 12s
miles in 121 minutes, over a mile a min
ute, including three stops.
1t seems that the company had a con-
tract to place a theatrical company in
st. Louis at p. m. on Sunday, and,
knowing that a large number of out
going trains would greatly interfere
with the progress of the incoming train
the fast run was decided upon. The
train was nearly 80 minutes late at
Bloomington, and, with seven coaches
and a baggage car, the superintendent
felt that it would be impossible to make
up the time and at the same time not
interfere with the outgoing regular
trains.
Engineer Reding and Conductor
Mansfield thought differently, and were
anxious to make the attempt. Orders
were finally received and the big en-
CINE started off on the flying trip. For
the first few miles, it is said, Reding
ity of the engine, but before he had
placed 20 miles behind him the tele-
graph poles began to glide by in quick
succession. and soon it was evident that
the big train was actually going at a
rate above a mile minute. The speed
attracted the attention of the farmers
and residents of small towns, where no
stops were made and surprise at such
speed was depicted on all counte-
nanceS.
The conductor had mapped out two
hours and eight minutes for the run,
and when the engineer whistled for
ahead of his fixed time, the train crew
were in high glee.

M'KINLEl WAS TRICKED.
Led to Endorse a Brand of Collars
While He was in Troy.

Troy, N. Y, Sept. 1.-The 10000 en-
ployes of the several big collar and cuff
factories in this city are somewhat ex-
ercised over what they declare is an in
suit offered to President Mckinley by a
member of a collar and cuff firm while
the president was here last week.
They say that, under pretense of get
ting President Mckinley to sign his
name in what purported to be a me-
mortal album, the firm obtained the
chief executives signature under an in
dorsement of a brand of collars manu-
featured by the concern. This indorse-
ment, it is said, is to be- Autographed
under a big head of the president and
mammoth posters printed, which will be
stuck up throughout the United States
as an advertising scheme.
