SCHOOL HOUSE JOINTS.
Lawrence Troubled With Liquor Sell
ers Too Near Children.
The Lawrence Journal comp1at

The Lawrence Journal complains of
joints running in that town in the
shadow of the school houses. 1t saws:
Some time ago attention was called
to several joints that were running in
Lawrence in the veryss shadows of diff
ferent school houses. s The joints were
closed temporarily, and some of the
men who were running them were put
in jail. AS usual putting in Jail did
not stop the Joints for good.
There is one of these joints that was
never closed. It was in operation dur
ing the entire time that the reputed
owner was in jail, and when he regain
ed his liberty he again took personal
charge of the place. This resort is not
only drinking dive where liquors of
all kinds can be obtained, but it is
gambling den of the worst sort; as q
matter of fact, it has gained wider no.
toriety as a gambling place than as
dive. But it is both. 1t is located
very near to one of the school houses
of the city, the children being able to
look out from the windows of their
school room upon the place. Its en-
frances are many Of them through the
school grounds, ana teachers and chill
dren look out upon the diSreputable
characters that are going to and from
the place at almost all hours of the
day.
The existence of this place is not
secret; its keepers and habitues are
we'll known police court characters.
1t is one of those places in town that
meets with the most vigorous condem-
nation, and the most vigorous measures
are necessary for it's complete suppress
sion, and the keeping of the place

STOCK YARDS WILL FIGHT.
Suit Brought to Defeat New Stock
Yards Law.

The battle between the state of Kan
sas and the Kansas City Stock Yards
company was opened this morning,
though but yesterday the company put
in force the rates prescribed by the
Kansas legislature, thereby acquiescing
in the law.
The battle will be fought out in the
federal court and a man named Charles
L. Getting of Boston opened the hos
tilities. He applied to United States
District Judge Foster for an injunction
to prevent the stock yards company
from putting the Kansas rate into eff
feet. Mr.. Getting claims to hold $40. 900
worth of stock in the stock yards com
pany and he claims that the rates
which are fixed by the legislature
would make his stock valueless
The cOnstitutiOnality of the act of the
legislature of Kansas is questioned on
the ground that the legislature has no
right to interfere with a private enter
prise. The attorney general is cited
to appear to defend the law. The case
will be heard on March %.
OF course the suit is the club with
which the stock yards company hopes
to beat the life out of the new bill. The
superintendent of the company, c. F.
Morse. and the individual officers are
made defendants in the suit but the
real defendant is the state of Kansas,
and that is the reason the attorney gen
eral has been requested to appear and
The Kansas City Times yesterday
claimed that it was the purpose of the
stock yards company to keep outside
the pale of the Kansas law by play
ing what is known as stag checkers
which means moving the stock from
one state to another to avoid the law.
The Times says:
The Legislature has been recently
posing as a HoyIe and has altered the
rules according to which stag check
erS' was formerly played. by recurring
the stock yards company to demand
smaller fOrfeits. This rule the COM
pany naturally resents as an ex parte
affair. 1t saw at once that the ruling
would initiate against the company,
and would handicap it in making future
plays, SO it is determined to appeal the
case to the national board of arbitra-
ton, if need be, in order to have the
odious decree set aside. But, in the
meantime, it sees the expediency of
making a show of acquiesence. So this
morning the order will go forth to take
smaller forfeits.
This. however, is only pending the
decisions of the higher authorities on
stag checkers Should the decision be
in favor of the company. well and
good If, on the other hand, the To-
peka Hoyle should be sustained then
the company Will resort to other tao
ties
The suit is but the beginning of what
promises to be a long legal fight. The
bill cuts the present yardage charges
of the company, and it is not surprising
that the company should throw down
the gauge of battle.

GUARDIAN IS shy $500.
a Wichita Man Claims to Have Been
Held Up and Robbed.

Wichita, March 13.-W. H. Cochran
of Greenwich claims to have been held
up and robbed seven miles out of Wich-
tia of $500 and his team stolen.
Cochran is administrator of the es-
tate of James Estee. deceased, and on
Wednesday received S964.4O from the
sale OF property, to be distributed among
the heirs of the estate according to
law.
He claims that while driving out in
the PlutOnian darkness two men
climbed into the rear of his wagon and
commanded him to hold up his hands.
He turned in his seat and dealt the
first intruder a blow, which caused the
stranger to stagger back and fall out
of the wagon. The team started to
run and Cochran finally refined them in.
Thinking he had probably caused the
death of the man, he turned the team
and drove back. On reaching the
spot of attack he was assaulted (while
out of his wagon making investiga-
tions) and in an encounter he received
an upper-cut lick on the chin which
put him to sleep. He lay from s D. m
till l o'clock in the morning before re-
gaining consciousness.

DOUBLE SANTA FE TRACK.
Six Miles to be Laid Between Cedar

NicKerSon Division.

1t comes from pretty good authority
the division point from Nickerson to
Newton, but owing to the absence of Cen
eral Manager Frey from the city full par
ticulars cannot be given at present writ
ing.
The company will also lay a double
track between Cedar Point and Florence.
This track will be laid on the north side
of the present main road bed and will
assist materially in the transportation of
freight on the main line at Cedar Point
to the branch road and main line at Flor
ence. Heretofore the necessity of waiting
at either end of this stretch of road for
clear track has been a source of great in
convenience to the company as well as to
its patrons. This new road will be con
Structed of the material already on hand
and will measure. in all, about six and
one-half miles. The work will be COM
menced in a few days and will be pushed
as rapidly as possible.
