| Coroner Rose was in at the office Of tns
probate judge yesterday stepping around

Of twenty seeking a marriage license
That, however, was rot his business. He
simply came in 20 tell his old friend
Judge McCanless that in his contest with
the county attorney and county commits
sioners he had won a most decisive vic
tory. He was feeling so good over his
triumph that he really became quite gay
and soortiye.

ty attorney protested vigorously and

invaded the coronor's court ard informed
him in person that an inquest was not
needed and insisted that IL should not be
held In addition the county commission
ers sent the coroner word that If he held
an inquest over their protest as well as

expenses ot such inquest. When Dr.. Rose
heard these threats ne became quite liz
dignant, and drawing himself up TO his
full height, he flashed a little Andrew
Jackson fire out Of his eyes and stated
that ne was coroner Of this county and
would not stand any Interference with
his business from the commissioners or
county attorney. He went ahead with
the inquest. saying the people elected him
coroner and he proposed 10 perform the
duties of his Office regardless Of the coun-
ty attorney and county commissioners.
After the inquest was over the coroner
sent in his bills as usual, and they met
with a cool reception until the coroner
started 10 bring suit in the district court
and then, it appears, the commissioners
concluded TO surrender and put up the
expenses of the inquest.
The coroner told reporter for the
Eagle that six able attorneys had tender

carrying the case through the district

tardy in realizing that the coroner is the

Coroner Rose thinks. and from now on
he proposes TO make them respect his az
thority.

ONLY THE KANSAS WAY
Chesterfield Cuts no Ice in the Windy
West

| Two prominent Wichita men met in the
postoffice building yesterday and got TO
talking about the wind, OF course. One
was a business man OF a rather lively
turn, the other a scholar, and 70 matter
about his profession. The latter was OF
philosophical turn of mind and believes
! in shaping his conversation with special
regard for the merit Of etiquette. In other
words, he lays special stress upon Ches-
terfield's third rule for conversirg:
Avoid the mention Of such commonplace
topics as the weather. your own health,
ETC." So when the scholar good natured-
ly jeered the business man for his IN
churchlike and frequent mention OF the
wind. the business man said:
III bet you a months supply of Gen.
eral Arthurs against 'swei beers a day
for the same length of time that You
can't 60 out here in town ard get in two
sentences each with the first twenty ac-
quaintances you meet and keep the wind
out in any single Instance"
The scholar accepted the challenge with
a chuckle, and the pair switched around
10 Douglas and started in the direction Of
the Carey. The scholar was TO do the
lead in al salutations and keep out any
mer don of the wind if ne could. The
first sentence (there were to be only two
each way) was good morning or how
dy,' or hello or something more dignihed
than How are you stacking?
The scholars first attempt was made
with Agent Delaney OF the Santa Fe.
Good morning. Mr.. Delaney"
Good morning. SIR
rs No. on timer"
Little late: 50 much wind. you see"
The business man smiled while the
scholar led the way across the stree, and
accosted City Treasurer Herman.
Mr.. Herman. what are the exact fig
ures Of your majority in the city cleo
tioc?"
What are you looking up election fig
ures on such windy day az this for?
Here, II tell you in a minute
In the next five minutes three other
friends came struggling along and sug-
gestei:
'Phew. Hello! Say. AIT she windy"
The scholar got long breath and
tackled George Locke.
M. Locke. your work in the postofice
is rather close, isn't it?''
''Oh. yes; but when It's windy like this
Ike II be inside, thank you
The next three went this way, the
scholar leading on:
Good morning. Mr.. s.
Good morning. Little windy. isn't l.7''
Good morning. Mr.. J. How are you?"

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
Seth Low Nominated.
On. Y. Press.l


The nomination of Seth Low to be
the candidate for mayor of the Citi-
zens Union brings the municipal cam
paign to an acute crisis. There is the
gravest danger that this action of the
union will split the anti-Tammany vote
of New York in half.
There is no doubt tht the sentiment
of those in control of the Republican
organization is overwhelmingly in ia
vor of running a Republican ticket in
opposition to that of the union If this
should be done, Tammany hall, which
does not and cannot hope to defeat IL
single union anti-Tammany candidate,
would have ample reason to expect vic
tory over two opposition tickets divid-
ing the reform and good government
ballots between them.
Mr.. Seth Low could prevent the ca
lamity of Tammany triumph achieved
by the division of the anti-Tammany
house against itself His fiat refusal
to accept nomination unless IL came
from the Republican party as well as
from the Citizens Union would compel
an alliance of these forces or would
destroy the Citizens Union. thus per-
again to unite. But will Mr. Low re-
fuse to accept the nomination in the
circumstances under which it was
made by the Citizens Union yester-
day? Our judgment is that he will not
refuse It, for had this been his inten-
ton he would have given warning to
the union and then have prevented its
action of yesterday. And If he does
accept this nomination that carries
with it no possibility of election UNI
supported by a Republican nomination,
what will the Republicans do?
Mr.. Thomas c. Plat. who is the alb
solute master OF the Republican or
ganzation of New York. will decide
this question. And because he will de-
eide it his present position is the most
delicate of his long and varied political
career.

to reach Portland he might have picked

was towed into Boothbay bottom up

deck load was just commencing to float

Golden Rule is over 40 years old and was
filled with water on several previous oc
casions the last time being in Boston
harbor last winter when she came very
near going to the bottom.

The Nicaragua Canal.

The Nicaragua canal, should be
built, owned and operated by the
United States" Undoubtedly many of
the Journal readers will recognize this
enunciation of belief as a plank in the
Republican platform adopted at st.
Louis last year. Up to this time the
party has had, left as unpleasant
legacies from the previous administra-
ton. enough to occupy its time and at
tention. With the tariff and revenue
question settled and other domestic
but natural to expect that the foreign
questions. Cuba and Hawaii and the
Nicaraguan canal will be taken up.
The two former are just now attract
ing more of consideration than the
canal but it is evident that IS not slum-
bering.
The pretensions of Minister Rodri-
guez. that the concession of Nicaragua
to the Maritime Canal Company hal
pteH loiltlteu ny HeSitCl u luilll CON
ditions were pretty effectually disposed
of by President Hitchcock of the COM
pany early in the year. He also called
attention to the evident fact that Eng
lish influence had been at work to the
end that the forfeiture might be de-
clared. Congress, however, appropri-
ated $l50,000 to complete the survey OF
this route and the commission has been
appointed by the President This much
is pretty conclusive evidence that the
administration believes in the principle
avowed in the Republican platform
that the canal should be built, if feast

as have the previous ones, will show
that it is. and should be owned by the

Don't waste Benefits OF Z Vacation.

1t is well recognized fact that many
who take vacations away from home
have put upwith such unsanitary condi-
lions as would horrify them if they were
called upon to endure them at home.
This, however, is more carefully looked
after than once until now there is per-
of.
There is, however, danger which
such vacationists often expose them
selves to without giving the matter a
thought. 1t consists in coming home
to a house that has been closed the
greater part of the summer months
and commencingto livein there without
first thoroughly airing it,
A moments reflection will recall to
mind instances where the family on
leaving the house, supposing the cellar
to be clean. has returned to find some
thing overlooked from the decay of
which there must have arisen harmful
gases. These are, of course, attracted
into the heated rooms above where
there is no outlet for them Then in
many instances the water in the traps
of the pipes leading to the sewers has
evaporated permitting the sewer gas
to pour out and fill the house. Coming
home IN live in that OoicopaI atmoc-
phere is squandering what benefits
may have been obtained from the va

Green Apple Time.

The small boy gaZeth at the tree,
Where, on a swaying limb,
The apple hangeth, small and green,
And oh. it tempteth him.
Forgotten are his mothers words
OF warning against sin:
He shieth first some rocks at it.
Then up the tree doth shin.
He reacheth finally the bough
And reacheth for the fruit,
1t taketh the small boy, indeed.
An apple tree to loot.
He eateth it, seed. core and all,
Without bit of fear
And doth it hurt him? Not bit,
He doth it every year.
