The case was contested very vigo-

A JUROR I'LL"
About Z o'clock the jury met Ior
final deliberaation and one juror,
Humphrey, wanted further light on
the meaning Of "intent" and Judge
Burnett gave it.
Humphrey created a scene and
broke down and cried like child
when he reappeared and seemed to be
acting under a deep sense OF convlc-
tion. In reply Judge Burnett ex-
planned clearly,the character and re-
lation of intent to the act accompany
ing it and gave illustrations to empha-
size his instructions. These seemed
satisfactory to Mr.. Humphrey and the
jury was excused for the night, ad-
journing until 8 o'clock this morn
ing.
In the course of his explanation TO
Juror Humphrey, the court reiterated
the statement contained in his charge
upon the jury's presentation during
the afternoon, that "there was no
doubt their presentation established
a wrongful act in making a record OF
something the county court did not
do, but it rested solely with the jury
to determine the nature of the intent
prompting such wrongful act" Con-
tinuing, the court made use OF the
further statement that this bill, not
being public record within the
meaning Of the statute, was not sub
ject to forgery" declaration at va
rance with the instruction given in
the afternoon upon the same matter,

KANSAS LEGISLATURE.
House WreStleS With the judi
cial Appropriation.
Senate Finally Decides on
Amounts to Be Allowed
To the Educational Institutions -
Economy" and "Reduc.ion" Are
the Prevailing Watch
words.

The executive and judicial apportion-
ment bill prepared by the house ways
and means committee was taken up
yesterday and provoked an extended
discussion. A temporary fit of econ
omy struck the house, and the appro-
prations for the state board of health,
state board of pardons, state fish COM
missioner and the metropolitan police
commissioners were stricken from the
bill. The house spent nearly four
hours considering this bill. An effort
was made by Fairchild to reduce the
salary of the judges of the supreme
court from $4,000 to $4,000, but failed
The committee bill placed the salary of
judges of district courts at $4,000, but
these were restored to 81, 500.
The bill provides $500 per year as sal
airy for clerk and Stenographer, and
cuts from $1,000 to $720 appropriation
for incidental and travelling expenses
for the commissioner
The bill was made a special order for
o'clock last night, and the apprOpri-
ations which had been stricken from
the bill, except for the state board of
pardons and the fish commissioner,
were reinstated. A futile effort was
made to resurrect the board of par
dons appropriation. The sentiment is
that these appropriations will be rein
stated in the senate.
The total amount of the appropria
lions for the ensuing two years is $685.
700 This is a decrease of $39, 98S as
compared with the same appropriations
of two years ago.

AN ISSUE OF FUNDING BONDS.
State Bonds Falling Due in July to Be
Funded

The senate this morning passed the
ways and means committee bill pro-
viding for the issuance and sale of
bonds to the amount of $212, 600 to fund
the state bond due July 1, 1897. and
July l, 1898. Eighty-f1ve thousand dol
lars is due July 1, 1897, and $127,000 is
due July 1, 1898. The bonds issued
shall be in denominations of 81 coo each,
bearing interest at the rate of four per
cent, and shall become due 90 years
fro mdate of issue For the payment
of the interest, a sufficient tax shall be
lived and collected each year with
other taxes.
The bill appropriating $4,000 for
completing the waterworks plant at
the deaf and dumb asylum al Olathe
was also passed by the senate this
morning. This appropriation was rec
commended by the committee appointed
sometime agO to investigate the condi-
ton of the plant.
Mr.. McKeever's bill, appropriating
1,400 for the support of the Kansas
Children's Home society for the years
ending June 80, 1898, and June 80, 1899,
was also passed.
In addition to the above measure, the
state university and state normal
school appropriation bills, and the bill
making appropriation for the estab-
hshment of an industrial department at
the reform school, which were recon-
mended for passage by the senate as
committee of the whole yesterday aft
ernoOn, were also passed by that body
this morning.

AN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
Senate Introduces a Measure for One
at the Reform School

Acting on the advice of the COVER
nor's message the senate, as a commit
tee of the whole, yesterday afternoon
unanimously recommended that an ap-
preparation of So, 900 be made for the es-
adjustment of an industrial department
a the state reform school. The bill
will be placed on final passage today,
will then go to the house, and will I'M
doubtedly pass that body before ad-
journment.
Noah Allen, the well-known Populist
of Jefferson county, is really the author
of the measure. Some time ago he had
a bill prepared and introduced in the
senate asking that an appropriation of
5000 be made for the esta blishment of
a canning factory at the reform school.
This bill went to the committee ON ways
and means, and that committee de-
cided that a canning factory would be
impracticable, but that an industrial
department should be established, and
recommended the appropriation of
s., 1000.
The state board of charities will have
charge of the new department.

FATHER AND MOTHER
Of Little Emma Lempke, Minneapolis, Tell of
Terrible Suffering Endured by Their Daugh-
ter and How Quickly Health and Vigor
were Restored by DR.. Charcots Kola
NerVine Tablets.
Every HeedfuI Parent should Read

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 1, 1885,
Eureka Chemical & Mfg. Co., La
Crosse, Wis.
Gentlemen: wish to make a brief
statement regarding DR.. Charcot's
Kola Nervine Tablets and what good
they have done for our little daughter,
Emma, eleven years of age. About
year ago we were compelled to call in a
doctor; he examined her and called her
trouble Nervous Prostration, but he
could do very little for her. We had
to keep her out of school, and she was
80 nervous that she could not be quiet
a minute would twitch her arms and
feet all the time, with no self control
over them. Finally it got so bad with
our little Emma that it was dangerous
for her to eat with a fork, for fear she
would jab herself in the eyes with it,
for she had no control over herself and;
in short, our daughters case became
very alarming. We did all we could to
relieve her suffering, but to no avail
But at last kind providence sent us a
friend who recommended DR.. Charcot'S
Kola Nervine Tablets. I went immedi-
ately to John Denek's drug store,
corner washington and Plymouth ave,
and procured a box; after taking one
box we noticed a change for the better;
we kept right on using them with EN-
ma. and with four one dollar boxes she
was completely restored to good health
again. The unnatural tWitching has
entirely left her; she eats and sleeps
well and is getting red cheeks again.

The house special committee appoint
ed to investigate Taylor's record today
submitted a report, which was adopt
ed, recommending that the attorney
general begin legal proceedings.
The report says:
1T is a notorious fact, accessible to
anyone who may inquire, that during
1893 and 1894 no funds were covered
into the state treasury by the coal oil
inspector, while during the two years
succeeding, when monthly reports were
made as by law required, $6SOS.O1 was
turned into the treasury, which would
seem to lead to but one conclusion, and
that is that the management of that
office during the time stated should
have the attention of the law depart
ment of the state, which in the judg-
ment of your committee is amply en-
powered to ascertain the facts and take
such legal proceedings as may be nee
essary for the full protection of the in
terests of your state in the premises"
The committee is: c. w. Fairchild,
chairman; Lambert of Lincoln, c. E.

IT HAD FALSE FRIENDS.
School Book Bill Backed Till it is Use
less

On motion of Senator Titus, the SEN
ate yesterday afternoon, recalled the
text book bill from the enrolling COM
mittee. recinded the action of Monday
by which the house amendments were
cOncurred in, and referred the bill to
conference committee. Senator Jumper
and Titus were appointed on this COM
mittee on the part of the senate.
Senator Titus said this afternoon:
I'VE recalled the bill because we
found on thorough examination that
number of amendments had been in
corpOrated in the bill by enemies in the
house which were absolutely fatal to
the measure. For instance, two differ
ent penalties were fixed for the same
offense the first meeting of the com
mission was set for the first Monday in
April while the commencement of the
terms of office of members of the COM
mission was fixed in May, and for a
child to use a first reader under GER
tain circumstances was made a peni-
tertiary OffenSe.
These amendments were the result of
sharp practice on the part Of the enc
mics of the bill.
II have no idea what action the con-
ference committee will take but if a
number fhouse amendments cannot be
corrected. L am in favor of dropping the
bill entirely"
