Justice to the Private Soldier.

Chicago, November 21-The court
martial of Captain Lowering, who or
dered Private Hammond dragged by the
heels from the guard house to the place
of his trial, has rendered verdict Of
guilty, and it states that the penalty
fixed Is merely reprimand. The de-
cirion, so far as 1t relates to the punish
mcnt, has not been made public.
In his address to the court Judge Ad-
vocate Hunter severely arraigned Low
ering. He said that unusual, unneces-
sary and unlawful punishment had been
inflicted on private Hammond. There
were enough men to have carried the
recalcitcant private, and there was no
excuse for kicking him or prodding him
with a sword while he was being dragged
b." his heels II such things were al
lowed the private became a slave, in the
Judge Advocates opinion, and was sub
ject to any abuse and indignity officers
might heap on him Men would not en-
list under such circumstances. The
reputation Of officers for good judgment
for command Of self, for humanity and
justice was involved in this case In
conclusion he observed that the de-
cislon meant much to the military arm
Of the government and that it would
live after the members Of the court
were dead.

Cook Charges Corrupt Practice.

In the contest case in Shawnee county
over the Office Of Sheriff, Porter S. Cook,
the Republican nominee, has filed his
answer He alleges that no illegal votes
were cast or counted for him and that
every legal vote cast for Kepley was
properly counted. Cook also alleges that
$50 votes cast for him were not counted
ana that 833 votes counted for Kepley
were not those Of legal voters and should
not have been counted. He also says
that 474 votes cast for Kepley should
not have been counted because the bal
lots contained distinguishing marks. All
OF the asylum and Reform school en-
ployes, who are supposed to have voted
for Kepley, are alleged to be illegal
voters.
1t is also charged that Kepley offered
voters bribes and rewards in money
and property and that he violated the
corruptions act and forfeited his right
to the Office by promising an appoint
ment at a salary OF SIS per month. Cook
alleges that beer and liquor were dis
tributed by Kepley and by his supporters
with his knowledge and consent, which
is undoubtedly true. The answer asks
that 225 votes cast in Rossville and LAG
cast In Tecumseh for Kepley be thrown
out because the trustees refused to ap-
point the Judge and clerk recommended
by the Republican committee. The case
| is under consideration by Probate Judge
! Dolman and two associates.

Those Difficult" Examinations.

The Minneapolis Messenger makes a
disturbance of small proportions over
what it calls the undue severity Of the
examination questions for teachers sub
mitted by Superintendent Stryker. The
Messenger says that of thirty-two appli-
cants for certificates in Ottawa county
at the last examination but six were
given certificates. The physiology ques-
tions are pointed to as the most severe
ones.
The Messenger is seriously in error in
this matter The facts are that but ten
applicants for certificates took the ex-
animation. OF this number six were
successful and four were not, OF the
questions covering twelve branches, Su-
perintendent Stryker wrote but two sets.
There is no mention Of any unusually
perplexing features in either set. The
physiology questions which are rated as
severe, were written by Chancellor Snow
of the University and Mr.. Stryker had
nothing to do with their preparation.
These questions are prepared by the
State board of education, of which Mr.,
Stryker is member

STATE FUNDS NOT FOR LOCAL USE.
Some County Officers May Suffer PrOseou-
tiOn.

State Treasurer Hehebower has had
his attention called to the fact that
Miami county officers are paying cur
rent local expenses out of money which
Is due and should have been remitted
to the State. His informant, banker,
says:
IF an order is drawn on the county
Treasurer for repairs on Jail the county
Treasurer must pay the order from the
State taxes, because this county has
no funds in the treasury belonging to
the county by about $4,000. The county
funds were exhausted last January, prac-
tically there never is any money in the
treasury; not for years"
Miami county owes the States large
amount of back taxes. II it pays local
expenses out of the money which should
go to the State, it's officers are violating
the law which prohibits the payment of
expenses chargeable to one fund out of
another Investigation may result in
some prosecutions. The counties Of
Kansas owe the State in back taxes
alone more than 100000.
