The Milwaukee Sentin q he's lately rem
dered a public service which deserves
recognition. The city of Milwaukee Dur

Gus law. The last legislature made few
changes in the law and made IL applica-
BILE to all the other cities and towns in

COLLEY SENT TO THE PEN
Bets Year and Half at Lansing for Levy
ing BIackmail.

Perry. o. T., May 1.-THE trial OF
Frank Colley was concluded in the dis
:r'ct ros,rt and the jury, after being OFT
O few hours, returned verdict of gull
~. Yesterday motion for new trial
was argued before the court and the
same was refused, whereupon he was
sentenced 70 the Territorial perftent'a-
~ at Lansing, Kansas, for one and one
half years.
The crime for which Colley was convic-
ted was peculiar one. On April last
:ncst estimable married lady OF this
CITY received letter through tie post
Office demanding ten dollars, or certain
reports derogatory TO her character
would be Fable to be circulated and
make trouble A decoy letter was placed
In this city, as suggested in the letter,
snd the place was watched most of the
cay, hut the letter disappeared without
the finder being caught. In few days
the lady received another communities
ton, wherein the writer stated that he
had watched her movements, that it
was no use TO watch him, that he was
Bn old detective and understood his
BUSINESS, and told her he would give her
until Thursday, April Is, al 2 p. m, to
deposit another letter a. the same place
with the money enclosed, and that If it
was not Gone, Humiliation and a shoot
ing scrape would follow. The husband
who all along managed the matter by
tins time saw he had no fool to deal
with, and at O'Clock on Thursday mora
Ing on the 18th Of April. while it was
yet dark, he secreted two policemen in
house hard by, where the post could be
watched.
AT O'Clock in the afternoon, as per
order, another Letter was placed under a
stone at the point designated. People
passed and repassed, bur not Until D. m.
when Colley came along, was the letter
disturbed.
Colley lived within plain view of tn
place i'll question and az o'clock p. m.
Re was seen TO saunter along TO the
post, kick the stone away, place the let
Ter hastily m his pocket and go on to
his residence.
Colley was arrested The evidence a.
the trial proved that the letters were in
his handwriting, and it was also shown
that he had served a term N the pen'ten-
iiary in Missouri for rif1ing the United
States mails Of money.
Mr.. Galley had been highly respected
here, stood high N the councils of the
Populist party, was for time the editor
OF the Patriot of this county, and leaves
wife and three children to mourn his
departure.

Demoexsts al ut Sea How to Meet the
Tariff BILL


Washington, May 14.-There Is some
difference Of opinion among the Demo-
cratic members OF the senate COMMITTEES
on finance as to The policy to be pursu-
ed in regard TO the tariff bin, Some OF
hem. notably Senator German. are OF
the opinion that the Democrats should
prepare a substitute bill and introduce
L. They suggest that this substitute
should em5ody the Democratic idea as
20 the tariff. giving uniformly lower
rates than the Republican BILL either as
prepared in the house. or as amended by
the senate committee on finance There
is. however, quite pronounced opposi-
ton TO this program on the. part or
many Democratic senators, including
several members OF the COMMITTEES on
finance. They TAXI the position that the
safes. course for the party is TO stand
by the Wilson sin, which,. while II is
not perfect. is Still, democratic n1ea-
sure. The party. they say. has taken the
position that no tariff legislation is nee
essary. The campaign was fought on
another issue and they hold that 10
raise the tariff question on their own
motion would be inconsistent and IN
wise. Those who hold to this idea are
willing that amendments should De Of
:ered covering all the schedules and II
seems probable tina. this course will be
pursued.

COURT HOUSE CONSUMED
Lexington, Ky Loses a Valuable Building
and Priceless Art Works.

Lexington, KY, May 14.-Fire broke
out in an attic OF the court house here
at 9;45 a. m. and in a few minutes the
upper story and dome were all in flames.
The fire department was unable to
make an impression and the court house
was doomed. Harris statue Woman
Triumph" bought by Lexington women
for 5000. was in the rotunda.
The court house was almost complete
iy burnt and in an hour little remained
but the walls. Harris beautiful master
piece was destroyed in an attempt to
move X. Many of the loose records were
carried out and others are in a steel
vault in the basement. The court house
was built ten years ago at a cost Of
500, 900. The fire started in the jury
,oom, which was vacant. The county
school superintendent was conducting
an examination Of fifty school children
in the court room and they were all res
cued
The fremen were helpless in the be-
ginning and soon deserted the court
house 20 save surrounding buildings. A
nigh wind prevailed and for a time the
~ the luNcSl NGlS III
danger from flying embers. bucket and
garden hose brigades put out many Incl
pient fires. The Central and FRS; ma
tionai banks and the offices of the Lead
er and the Herald were in the line Of
the fire and were quickly emptied of
books and records.
When the fire was under control 4
was found that the first floor and base
ment were partly saved but deiuged with
water. In addition 10 the total destruc-
ton Of the Hart statue. many valuable
paintings in the court rooms were lost.
There were portraits OF Henry Clay,
Richard Menefee. William T. Barry and
other famous Kentuckians. painted by
Healy, Suly and other noted artists. The
loss on the building is $4,000; insurance
si0 600
