Two Cases of Contempt.
Kansas City Journal.

The application Of the new Kansas
law governing the power of judges to
fine for contempt had two very funny
Illustrations within the present week.
The first occurred at KiOwa, where a
well known attorney, who has lone
been victim Of the flowing bowl. ap.
peared as defendants attorney in a
state case before a justice of the peace.
He was very much under The influence
of liquor and County Attorney Ellis
frequently called upon the Justice to
punish him for the outrageous breaks
which he persisted in making. Fin
ally the patience OF the Justice be-
came exhausted and he imposed a fine
Of $40 upon the obStreperOus attorney
The latter was pretty FULL but he had
Intelligence enough left to recollect
his rights under the new law; so, IN.
steadily rising TO his feet, he said:
Il standSh 'pOn my lhic) constut'naI
and stat'Ory right to trial by a jury OF
my (hic) peers, yer hOn'r; an demand
this suit be stopped till my case i.
heard.n
This rather nOnpluSsed the Justice
but, after consultation with the coun
ty attorney, he decided that the hear
ing of the state case should proceed
along, and in the meantime the fine
Of the attorney would be remitted.
The second incident occurred IN dis.
trict court at Wellington on Tuesday
AUNT Liza" an old cOlOred woman,
had been on trial on the charge OF
stealing chickens, and the court room
was crowded with her sympathetic
friends. When the jury returned a
verdict of not guilty, one of these,
woman, sprang to her feet In an ex-
uberance Of JOY and shouted: "Bres.
de LOri!' Judge Burnette sternly
admOnished her that such an out
break was unseemly in court, and she
acknowledged the cautioning by again
shouting, "Bress de LOrdr' louder
than ever; whereupOn his honor at
tached a fine of s. for contempt
Later some smart attorney put the
colored woman up to demanding a
trial by jury, and Judge Burnette
at once RENTED the fine.

Colonel E. j. Tully, who recently
died at Wellington, was a remarkable
character. For many years he had
been train dispatcher for the Santa
Fe at Wellington. He had very few,
if any, intimate associates, and was
very reserved In his relations with his
fellow man. Though industrious TO a
remarkable degree, he would at times
make long and expensive trips t. EL :
rope and other foreign countries, and
seemed never to begrudge the ex-
pense or loss Of wages. He left an
estate valued at $1,000 but not the
scratch of a pen to indicate to whom
it was to 90. He had stepmOther

in Ireland, but no kinfulkS Of closer

McNall Renews His Fight,

Nall, state superintendent Of insur-
ance, has renewed his fight On the
"Hillm0n" insurance companies, and
today he gives the newspapers the
following letter written by j. A.

nal, to ready print" publishing

Gentlemen: | am astoaished this
morning 10 see In the patent nearly a
twU-cOlumn article, in defense Of the
rOckieSt and rotteneSt Insurance out
fit that ever did business in Kansas.
Ii that article from the Kansas City,
kas., Gazette is not paid article, by
and for these monopoly insurance rob-
bers, then the man who wrote it has
gone to great deal Of trouble TO tell
tissue of falsehoodS from first to
last from purely patriotic motives,
and a desire to see justice done to a
trio Of poor down-trodden insurance
co npanies, who fleece Kansas out OF
millions every year.
ut is part OF your contract with
me that these paid corporation arti-
cles do not appear on the patent side
of the paper. This one article will
damage me twice, possibly five times,
the value OF this issue and / cannot
figure out how you expect to do bust
ness enough to pay you with these
paid Republican corporation articles
on the patent In direct opposition to
all the work of the home pages.
"This is a political article of the
very crankiesJ and meanest order,
and | shall claim violation OF con-
tract and refuse to pay for the issues
as often as they occur. Don't try to
make me believe that Geo. W. Martin
OF the Kansas City, Kans., Gazette, is
originating or publishing such howery
tales as that 10 defense OF insurance
companies just for his health; and
then l suppose it vas mere accident
that it got into the patent as a mat
ter Of news. Yours very respectfully.

reliable. The ideal standard is one
under which prices willremain stable.
The fall OF prices of products in
general indicates rise of price of the
standard Of value-at present gold.
This is a fatal objection to any stand
ard. Under double standard, silver and
g Id, If one should rise in comparison
to the value of products in general,
the burden Of exchange will be
transferred to the one that does not
rise. The increased use of this one
will tend to raise its value, and the
decreased use of the other one will
tend to decrease its relative value
until they approximate again.
Hence, an equilibrium is auto

In many PLACES, especially in the north
OF England, the old custom is followed of
preparing fer Lent at Shrovetide, the SAT-
urday preceding Ash Wednesday, This
day is called the feast of eggs" eggs be-
ing eaten at all meals and cooked in as
many ways as possible. The Succeeding
Monday is celebrated by the feasting of
the people, as IL 20 uphold and nourish
themselves for the coming six weeks of
self-denial. On Shrove Tuesday the rising
sun Is anxiously watched for. An old say
ing is that "as the sun shines upon Shrove
Tuesday, so shall 1t shine every day in
Lent Upon this day the people confess
their sins in the early part of the day, and
the remainder of the time is spent In
amusements and feasting, mainly upon
batter cakes, as the eating of flesh and
fowl is forbidden. Thus this day has gem
orally come TO DS knOWn as 'RanCake
Tuesday," and many persons keep up the
custom of serving old-fashioned Flap
Jacks" upon the day before Lent.
To make these old-fashioned pancakes
sour milk or cream, II it can be had is
used. The night before they are desired
one pint Of sour cream should be gradually
stirred into a pint of sifted -four; beat 1t
well together, cover the bowl, and stand
where it will not freeze When the cakes
are wanted the next day, If milk has beer
used, add a large tablespoonful of melted
butter, but If you have been fortunate
enough to have cream, half the amount of
butter is sufficient; add a saltspoonful of
salt and one egg, beat the mixture hard,
and last add a teaspoonful of soda dis
solved in little water, again beating the
mixture before commencing TO bake this
batter in large, round cakes upon a hot
griddle Butter each one as soon as it is
taken from the fire, and thickly cover with
grated maple sugar before the next cake is
put on top. Keep them hot and have five or
six cakes in the pile In serving them
cut as you would pie.

That this waste of raw material should
never, never be;
For they're one of the few articles in all

But full of sentiment and fire, inspired by
