DON'T STRAIN YOURSELF
But Work Individually to Bring Pros
perity.

Chicago. March 6.-The Journal pub
fishes a partisan proclamation
with three pages of fac smile sigma
lures of leading merchants, fnanciers,
etc. 1t contains the following:
We urge the necessity of setting
aside all rivalry and by combined eff
fort seeking to encourage the indus
trial, mercantile and financial pursuits
by awakening our people to a sense of
responsibility. Let every one on the
advent of the new administration unite
in efforts to bring back that degree of
prosperity which has in past years
characterized the United States, COM
mercial interests with life. While every
furnace is made to glow, every anvil to
resOund, let every mart reflect the i'm
proved condition. Let all emulate the
sturdy American pioneers, who needed
not the perils of environment, but con-
Stituted the vanguard of civilization
and refused to rest until victory was
theirs. AS the happiness of one is the
concern of all, we ask the cooperation
of our neighbOring cities of the agri-
cultural population and each individ-
ual American. >"

HARRY MOTE IN TROUBLE
Ex-Baseball Manager Draws Razor
and Tries to Carve His Wifa.

The Cottonwood Falls ReveilIe tells
the following story on Harry Mote, who
ran the Topeka ball club two years ago,
but is now barber in Emporia:
Monday afternoon Harry 7. Mote Wis
tied this city and called upon his di-
Vorced wife, Mrs. Eva KilgOre Mote and
child. He was allowed to see them and
treated politely. He demanded some of
ms persona! effects. which were given
him. Then he wanted some of her own
property She refused and he proceeded
TO raise racket and acted bad enough
so as to cause Judge KiIgore to swear
out warrant for his arrest.
Mote was arrested and gave bond for
$2oO FOR his appearance Monday, haV-
ing plead not guilty to the charge of
disturbing the peace. He said he was
president of the State BARRIERS associa-
ton.
But the high muck-a-muck position
did not seem to be enough nOtoriety for
him, so he went back to Mr.. KilgOre'S
house after supper. Through an outside
door he entered the cellar and from
trunk of Mrs. Notes took some papers
and letters, went out and into the room
where the folks were, opened the stove
door and threw the packages into the
fire.
Mrs Mote demonstrated. But he
seemed to be bent on a purpose. He
crushed pictures, curtains, etc, and then
taking up the child and drawing a razor
he said he had them and would"d do them
up
Mrs. Mote reached for her child, but
fell to the floor either from a blow or a
push from Mote. In falling she caught
at him and got the razor.
A warrant was sworn out against
Mote charging him with robbery and
assault with intent to kill. He was ar
rested at Emporia yesterday and
brought before Justice Mcdaniel and
his case was set for the June term. He
has not yet given bond and is being
held.

REFUSES TO BE BULLIED.
Judge Hazen Won't Grant Mr.. Hen
tig g Change of Venue.

Attorney F. G. Hentig appeared in the
district court today with the usual afH-
davit asking for a change of venue in
a case which was to be argued before
Judge Hazen-
The affidavit had one addition and
that covered the impeachment petition
filed before the legislature against
Judge Hazen by Mr.. Hentig and a re-
mark made by Judge Hazen in refer
ence to the mater.
Judge Hazen listened to the reading
of the affidavit without a change of
countenance, and then said:
LAS this is a question of law simply
1 think that I am competent to sit as
Judge, and 1 will override the motion
for a change of venue"

MRS. coURAcK WINS.
Important Decision in an Insurance
Case at Blue Rapids

Blue Rapids, March 6.-The K and L.
of s. case which attracted so much at
tention was decided by Judge Spillman
in the district court in favor of Mrs
Annie Courack, who gets $1,000 inSur-
ance on the life of her father, John Hay
dorf, who changed his beneficiary from
all of his children to Mrs. COurack the
night before his death. The judge held
that the failure of the local secretary
to report the change before Haydorf' $
death did not inyalidate the change,
the duty of the national secretary be-
ing only of a clerical nature.
The case has been appealed to the
supreme court.

THE WHITE HOUSE BABY.
Miss Marjorie Morse VIII FO1d That ONCE
Under President Mckinley.

Under President Mckinley.
An administration without a White
House baby would doubtless prove a
fat failure. The presidential infant has
come to be regarded as a national insti-
tuition by the great American public. It
is expected as much as the public recep-
tions and the inaugural ball. The nation
would feel lonesome without one. Pres
ident Mckinley is not going to ignore
any of the conventions. This one in par
ticular he has great regard for.
The Mckinley administration has al
ready selected a White House baby. She
is Miss Marjorie Morse and is destined
to go down in history as Baby Morse.
