SOCIALISTS WANT TO KNOW
How Many There Are of Them and
Will Have an Independent
Ticket.

G. c. Clemens, supreme court reporter
and general organizer of the Social De-
mocracy in Kansas, says that if there is
fusion in Kansas this year with free sill
yer as the dominant ISSUE it will result in
an Independent Socialist ticket.
Mr. Clemens said today:
THE socialists in the state, and they
compose respectable portion of the Pop
list party will not take free silver as the
dominant issue While there will be
socialist ticket in any event in the next
election to count the socialist vote of the
state, it will not be an independent one
unless the fusion forces set up free silver
as the principal issue. In that event the
ticket will be Independent, and while our
forces are not strong enough as yet to
elect a ticket, they are growing right
strength will be felt. If the fusion forces
want the socialist vote they will have to
sidetrack free silver as one of the minor
issues
Mr.. Clemens says he will take an active
part in the next campaign.

ATCHIsoN WATER CASE.
District Court Renders a Judgment
Favorable to the City

AtchisOn, Feb. 2S.-For several years
past Atchison has been running behind
on it's rentals of water hydrants, the
two mills, which it is allowed to levy
for water purposes under the laws,
agreed to pay annually to the Atchison
Water company. Several months ago
the water company sued the city for
SIS, $40, which represents the deficiency.
A decision has been rendered in the
district court which. if it stands, will
knock out the claim of the water COM
pany. 1t is to the effect that Atchison
had no authority to contract to pay
more than a levy of two mills would
raise, and that if it has turned over to
the water company the full amount
raised under such a levy it had per-
formed its full duty. The case has been
appealed.

time in many years the students Of Mon

the time-honored banquet without moles-

The commendable innovation is attrib-
uted to the recent visit of Evangelist Will

into the new course when ClawsOn took Ban

stretch Handbal came with a rush and had
nearly caught the leader when he drew away
under the whip, HandbGll getting the place.
In spite of the fact that George Keene has
had a lot Of racing lately. he was faVorite
for the FOrdham handicap, while Irish Reel
closed a shade behind Bendoran for second

dict, formally charging him with muir
der, without the slightest indication
that he realized what it meant. While
the testimony was being taken he
glanced fUrtiVely about the room, when
a witness changed seats, but while the
facts about his killing the woman we. e
being brought out he was apparently
without the slightest interest in the
proceedings. That the young fellow
knows something of the gravity Of the
charge against him, however, despite
MS seeming stOlidity, developed from
the testimony of PatrOlman Bernard
Ryan, who arrested Steenerson after
the shooting. The policeman testified
that when he took the revolver away
from Stevenson the young man begged
HIM to give back the weapon so that he
could kill himself. SIEVE al times VIII l.
waiting for the patrol wagon Officer
Ryan said Stevenson had asked for the
pistol declaring he wanted to end his
life. Officer Ryan testified that Steen-
ersOn did not in any way seem to be
under the influence Of liquor.
DR.. RothroclI testified that he had
performed an autopsy on the body. He
found that the bullet had entered the
left breast, about an inch above and
to the left Of the nipple The bullet
took an inward and downward course,
passing through the apex Of the heart,
and then passing through the stomach,
lodging in the kidney. The resultant
hemorrhage Of the heart was the i'm
mediate cause of death. Dr.. R0throck
said that from the nature of the wound,
it was likely the woman was sitting on
the bed and was shot by some one
standing up, several feet distant from
her.
o. L. Hale, at whose house the murder
took place, told practically the same
story as appeared in The C o e the
morning after the shooting. He heard
the shot and went to the Parish w0m-
ans room. Coming out of the door he
ran against Stevenson. He grappled
with the murderer, but was pushed
aside and Stevenson ran down stairs.
He said SteenersOn was the same man
whom Officer Ryan had afterward TAX
Ell to the Parish WOman's room.
Mrs. Hale cOrrobOrated her husbands
story. She said the Parish woman used
| a great deal of morphine and Identified
| two hypodermic syringes found in the
WOman's room. Mrs. Hale said she
knew nothing Of the woman's char
acter.
According to the testimony of Offic5r
Ryan the Parish woman was known to
| the police as a dissolute character. He
told of her arrest some time ago for
