Wellington Did Not See Napoleon.

From the London Spectator.
There are some interesting stories in the
recently published "reminiscences of MIR.
Corbould, the drawing master to Queen
Fictoria's children. Here is enc of them:
"On reaching the palace one morning the
Prince of Wales showed me a drawing he
had just finished. Napoleon was depicted
on horseback, leveling a pistol at the Duke
OF Wellington, who WAS advancing to cut
down his great enemy. While was look
ing at the drawing. who should come in
but the duke himself! Why. the very man
who can best criticise my drawingv cried
the prince. Now, can you tell me who that
is on the LETT he went on. presenting the
sketch to the duke. Well, replied the lat
ter. deliberately. Judging from the waist
coat and the cooked hat, I should say il
was meant for Napoleon Right said the
prince. And who is the other figure? nv
the cut OF the jib.' returned the duke,
calmly, i should say 1t was myself Right
again. Well. now. is the drawing accur-
rate! That's what 1 want to know The
duke rose. put down the sketch, and thus
tmpressively addressed the Prince OF
Wales: My boy. I'm going to tell Won
something that the English people don't
seem to realize. I was sent out 10 keen
Napoleon In check, but never IN my life
have set eyes on him! Once In the midst
OF battle, some one cried: Look! there's
Napoleon but before I could get the glass
to my eye, the smoke from a Held gun had
enveloped him.

Seawel changed his vote for the pur-
pose of securing reconsideration, so the
official vote shows 26 ayes and II noes.
Dickinson refrained from voting, as he
was chairman of the committee of inves-
tigation, and Holloway and Toner were
absent.
Senator Morehouse withdrew tho reso-
luton providing for the punishment OF
AL Murphy, and the vote on the Levings
resolution was the same as on the first
one. except that Wolfe lodged the vote,
Dickinson and Stratton voted for the reso-
luton and Smith voted against 1t.
Seawell again changed his vote to aye
for the purpose of reconsideration, and
the official record of this vote also shows
26 ayes and II noes.
The matter of reconsideration cuts no
figure. as the motion to take up the mat
ter will be defeated incontinently should
it ever be made.
On motion of Senator Morehouse the
two prisoners were ordered into the Gus

Russell TALKS BACK.
Apologies to the Dickinson People
for Supporting Smith.

The raciest answer in foreclos-
ure case that has ever been filed was
put on record today by John A.
Russell. On July 7 J. 5. Smith
brought foreclosure suit on a 30-day
mortgage note for 1928 given Oct. 10,
1896, by }. A. and Emily l.. Russell,
foreclosing on lots 10, 81 in block q,
Kinney and Hodges addition. Mr..
Russel filed an answer that is inter-
esting reading coming from a popu-
list 1t denies the allegation of debt
and says that he took his team and
drove for 20 days campaigning for
Smith and that by reason thereof
Smith was elected sheriff "to his
great profit and owes him $50. Then
he adds, fright here | want to apollo
gize to the people of Dickinson county"
for having helped elect Smith. He
says he was willing to pay the $2S
but the prevailing business depres-
sion" made it impossible. However
he had responsible party guarantee
it II Smith would delay suit. But he
adds that Smith felt so bad over the
result Of the city election and held
him RusseD responsible for it and
took this means Of revenge. There
are whole lot Of other things in the
answer that would not look well in
print and indicate that Brother
Russell is not friendly to Brother
Smith. Our Populist friends should
not be so harsh on one another.

The Way to Do.

Herington Times; We see it crop
ping out around that Chris Hoffman
and his gang are trying to turn the
Dickinson county high school into
Populist training school the same as
he did with the Manhattan Industrial
College. The proper thing to do is to
beat Chris for a reelection this fall
and put in men who will keep that
school out of politics where every
educational institution should be
kept The way to prevent it is to
elect Republican nominees for high
school trustees.

A SUNDAY MAN.HUNT,
All Day Sport With Bloodhounds
Amuses the Town,

Amuses the Town.
Sunday was the liveliest day this
town has seen in long time. 1t is
not often that so much fun happens
in a given 10 hours as occurred then.
1t was combination of an Uncle
Toms Cabin show and horse race
all day long.
The starter was in the night. Over
at the United Brethren campmqeting
a miscreant entered the tent where
slept Revs. Stewart and Dessenberger
and took the formers vest wherein
was watch and pair of glasses.
Down town the old Bill Shook joint,
which was sold last week, was cleaned
out. This despoiling Of prominent
industries was a severe blow to the
town but II was not ALL Two chick
ems and couple sacks Of sugar were
taken from Nells n Brennamans and
the thief or thieves seemed to be
fitted out for jolly time.
The preachers awoke early and
missed the vest. Outside the tent
they found tracks-a peculiar shaped
shoe and nail in the heel. They
traced it to freight car in the Union
Pacific yards and looking in saw a
tramp. Dessenberger was left on
guard while Stewart went after the
sheriff. The tramp came to the door
and told the guard to get out. He
got. He says he gathered up two
rocks and prepared for an attack
but did not stop the tramp who
walked off, By the time the officers
appeared there was no sign Of "a
tramp in that vicinity and Rev. Mr..
Dessenberger was visibly nervous
yet.
Sheriff Robson telegraphed to
junction City for the famous blood
hounds that the sherifs Of Geary,
Clay and Dickinson have on hand for
such occasions. Sheriff Mackey
and the keeper drove up with two Of
the hounds. They let the dogs run
most of the way to warm them up
and about 10 o'clock put them on the
trail. Starting from the car and at
tended by a mob Of about 200 men
and boys they went to the Third
street bridge, then along the creek,
nosed into the chicken coops Of prom
lnent citizens and fooled around for
half an hour. But the trail was in
dry ground and everybody in town
had tramped over it and it is doubt
