Cheer.

Impatiently were waiting for the Fourth of
March to come;
For the screaming of the trumpets and the
clamor of the drum;
For the serried ranks of soldiers all along
the avenue;
For the merry. tramping stragglers who
will there be gathered, too
What though the skies be stormy and the
clustering wind be chill?
'Mongst the many thoughts awakened, one
indeed will gaily thrill:
'Tis but step from that time to the gentle
rule OF May,
run the other way.
All, then We may expect to see our cher
ished land advance
In science. art and morals and especially
finance:
That day will be the threshold where we
leave gloomy past
And walk through golden portals to a place
where none may fast;
Ard the chimneys where the drifting
smoke is hung like sable plumes
Shall breathe an incense sweeter than the
orients perfumes.
And best of all,-to this at least no skeptic
shall cry nay"
The mercury will turn around and run the
other way.

Hawaii and Cubu.

The reports not credible that Presi-
dent-elect Mckinley has in advance of as
sCming office announced himself as COM
popular foreign policy of the present ad-
ninistrat ton. especially with regard to the
annexation of Hawaii and the indepen-
dence of Cuba. Any declaration of indi-
Tidual policy in these matters by the Presi-
nent-eiect would be at this time premature
and unexpected. and announcements of the
sort which run counter TO the drift of re-
publican sentiment and tend to create fric-
ton, disseDsion and dissatisfaction in the
ranks Of the party before the President
eject has even taken his seat would never
he made by so level-headed a man as Mr.
Mckinley.
In the case of Hawaii. NJ. Cleveland re-
vtTsed the republican policy toward the
Islands by Withdrawing the annexat ation
treaty. and constituting himself an up-
holder OF the monarchy which previously
existed there. The platform upon which
AIR. Mckinley was elected declares tha;
the Hawaiian Islands should be controlled
by the United States. AMI no foreign power
should he permitted TO interfere with
them" \ definite announcement by Nj
Mckinley at this time that he would be
hostile to the annexation for which the ex-
isting government of the Islands pleads
would probably render impossible any con-
tfol OF Hawaii by the United States and

COMMITTEE OF17 GIVES UP
Abandons Whisky Prosecutions Along
the Injunction Line.

Two Injunction suits against jOintiStS
and the owners of buildings where
joints have been run were dismissed
today in the district court at the in
stance of the Committee of Seventeen
and the dismissal of other suits of the
same kind will follow
The two cases dismissed today were
those against Mike Thompson and Geo.
Dupree and the men from whom they
rented the buildings.
One case was tried yesterday after
noon and it failed and this led to the
SUMMARY disposition of the other two
cases on the docket for today. Mrs.
Mary Seery- Owne6i$T The building in
which H. G. Oglesby had an o. NJ. 3.
joint. The court was asked to enjOin
her from renting her building for that
purpose. Judge HaZen submitted the
question to the jury of whether Mrs.
Seery knew that a drinking place was
being run in her building and the jury
found that she did not know of the fact
and the court therefore refused to make
the injunction apply to her but enjOin-
ed Oglesby from running a joint there.
He gave up the rooms in the building
long go so that the injunction does no
good. The building is just north of the
Shawnee mills.
A. H. Vance who was interested in
the application for injunction said to-
day after the Dupree and Thompson
cases had been dismissed: 1T is no use
to try these cases with a jury. The
cases are really court cases but Judge
HaZen decided to submit questions of
fact to the jury and there is no use eX-
pecting them to find for US. I am sat
isfed that under the same showing that
was made in the Seery case the court
would have granted an injunction but
the jury held that Mrs. SeeTy did not
know what the building was being used
for and that ended it.
I'VE have felt that if we could reach
the owners of these buildings and make
them pay part of the costs of an in
junction suit we could put a stop to
this liquor selling because owners
would quit renting their places for that
purpose. But we can do nothing under
the circumstances and there is no rea-
son why the cases should be tried. We
are helpless"

GOVERNOR TO THE RESCUE.
Wisconsin Case Which is Puzzling
the Attorneys

Milwaukee. Wis, Nov. 10.-AIrs. Rob
ert Louis SchOenbaum, nee Simpson,
whose strange case has been puzzling
the lawyers for a week past, will re-
gain her liberty this afternoon.
Mrs. Schoenbaum is the woman who
married while ION parole" from the in
dustrial school and was arrested before
she left the Justices Office where the
ceremony was performed and returned
to the school. Mr.. SchOen baum has
not seen his wife since she was taken
from him. The lawyers have been
puzZling their heads over the case and
have concluded that the industrial
school authorities are right and that
the girl could not marry without their
consent.
Flnolng ne had no recourse in law,
the husband appealed to Governor
SchOheld- The governor after hearing
the appeal said he would grant the
woman pardon. Before her release
however, the school authorities viii be
heard. The governor said the pardon
would establish a precedent in such
cases.

DEATH OF R H. DELAHAY
Travelling Auditor Of the Rock
Island Dies Suddenly at
Smith Center.

Robert H. Delahay travelling auditor
of the Rock Island railway, died sud
denly at o'clock this morning in his
room at a hotel in Smith Center, Kan.
Hemorrhage of the stomach was re-
sponsible for his death.
Mr.. .Delahay left this city Monday and
went to Formosa, a small station IA
miles east Of Smith Center to check up
the accounts of the agent there. He
finished the work yesterday afternoon
and went to Smith Center last night,
where he met Mr.. George J. Bishop,
foreman of the bridge and building de-
partment. Nj. Bishop wired this morn
ing that Mr.. Delahay was apparently
in the best of health last night. and
several letters written by him late in
the evening were received in this city
this morning.
Mr.. Delahay has suffered from stom-
ach trouble for several years and on
arising this morning complained of Sc
we're pain in the region of his stomach.
Shortly before o'clock he was sudden
1y attacked with a hemorrhage, and
before medical aid could be procured he
died
Mr.. Delahay was a man between 40
and 80 years of age, and was well
known in Topeka and over the state
generally. Up to three weeks ago he
made his home in this city but at that
time moved to Kansas City. He leaves
widow but no children.
The remains will probably be taken to
IeaVenwOrth for interment, as Mr. Del
ahay's mother resides at that place

SEVEN PLACES TO FILL.
And New County officers are Besieg
cd ogtAppIicants.

The question of who will get the few
places which are at the disposal of the
officers elected in Shawnee county is
agitating the politicians There are
seven places to be filed and so far as is
now known but one has positively been
provided for.
John NJ. Wright, county clerk elect.
has announced that he will appoint O.
X. Swayze as deputy county clerk.
Swayze was not an applicant for the
place IN the general meaning of the
term but he is cOnVersant with the
work and is an intimate friend of Mr.
Wright as we'll as County Clerk Nc
Cabe and the place will be given him on
the grounds of competency and friend
ship. Mr. SWayze was an applicant for
the position of deputy postmaster but
it has been fixed to give that place to
A X. Rodgers and he will be free to
accept the place in the county clerks
office. Mr.. Swayze is now secretary of
the Committee of Fifteen. The position
to which he will succeed next January
pays $75 a month.
Frank L. Stevens who was elected
register of deeds by an overwhelming
majority has not announced who will
have the place of deputy in his office
but it is generally supposed bv those
who stand close to Mr.. Stevens that it
viii be Miss Heron, who has been con-
nected with the office for eight years
Miss Heron is cOnversant with every
thing connected with the office and her
services are really indiSpenSa Bile to the
incoming officer. She is an excellent
titiOn is now being circulated asking
that she be reappointed. Miss Gertrude
Wyatt is the other prominent appli-
cant.
Porter Cook has not yet selected his
deputies. He says that he prefers to
await the result of the threatened con
test, but he has a drawer full of ap-
plicatiOns.
One man who will probably be given
q position in the sheriffs office is
Fletcher Helm of Silver Lake the man
letter. The Republican central com
mittee is behind Helm and there is ev-
cry reason to believe that he will eth
er be undersheriff or have one of the
places.
Among the other candidates who
stand a good chance, are Hal Williams
ex-constable, and Al Hopkins, who was
Jailer at the city prison under the Nor
rill administration and who is an ex-
cellent officer. Other prominent appli-
cants for minor places are Carl Law
son, who is employed in the Santa Fe
shops, and Frank Beach and Charles
Smith, who are cOlOred men.
From the list given above it is pro-
bable that Mr. Cook will select two or
more deputies. but there are many OH
er applications to be considered and if
may be that Mr.. Cook will not listen to
the recommendation of prominent pol
iticians and officers of the Republican
county central committee in making his
appointments.
H. NJ. Phillips, treasurer-eIect, will not
take his office until a year from this
fall, and he says positively that he has
not made up his mind who his deputy
viii be, and that he has had no appli-
cations for the place.
