RIOT IN THE COURTROOM.
Litigant Takes Exception to Re
marks of Opposing Counsel


Larned, Kan, Aug. PA riot almost
occurred in the Pawnee county district
court room yesterday afternoon. One
of the celebrated Rush-Vandivert cases
was on trial and the litigants on both
sides and the attorneys who had been
arguing a demurrer for two days, dur
ing which many offensive charges and
counter charges had been made, were
in the most belligerent mood
Charlie Butcher of Newton, in closing
the argument for the defense, was par
ticularly severe in his criticisms, and
finally referred to Joe Waters of To-
peka as a dirty dog" Mr. Waters
sprang to his feet and, with the excla-
nation that if the court wouldn't pro-
tect him he would protect himself, pick
ed up an ink stand and attempted to
strike Mr.. Butcher. Several of the liti-
giants pulled off their coats, and the
crowd in the court room surged up to
the front of the bar in a general mixup,
which threatened to terminate in a riot,
and it required the combined efforts of
the sheriff and several hastily summon
ed deputies to separate the parties.

MAN AND HIS BATH.
Statistics from a New England City
show One Tub to Nine Persons.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
The interesting section of the recent
reports of the superintendent of schools,
which deals with the necessity of baths
in the public schools, contains some
statistics which have been gathered on
the subject in other cities, showing
what proportion of the families are
provided with bathtubs in their homes
Fortunately IL is possible to obtain
similar figures from the water depart
ment in this city The table of statis-
tics gotten up every year by the de-
partment in connection with it's annu-
al report has contained informa ton on
this point since 1874 These tables form
very interesting study in themselves
as showing how this hand-maiden of
civilization, the bathtub, has forced an
appreciation of its humble but refining
offices into the minds of the people.
In 1874 less than one-eighth of the
families who were served by the water
works, which means practically the
whole population, We're equipped with
bathtubs; in 1880. a little more than a
sixth; IN 1890 something more than
fourth, while for the past three years
the proportion has stood still at Just
about one-half. In the table for 1897
which is just being made out, there are
6,595 out of 1875 families who are
supplied with soaking facilities. As
there are 4.39 people in each family
in the city, according to the census Of
1885,, we have about one tub to every
nine people. Unfortunately the tables
made out here do not contain tabula-
tions OF this matter by districts, but,
of course. the percentage of families
supplied must vary largely In the dif-
ferert sections Of the city. 1t is
thought, however, that the proportion
of this convenience to the population
is much larger here than is common,
as would naturally be expected, both
by the nature Of our inhabitants and
by the fact that a very large propor-
lation lives are modern.
1t will be seen hy the Springfield
table, however, that the statistics of
Dr. Rche made ten years ago, which
were quoted by Dr. Ballet, do not real
ly represent the conditions of today,
from the fact that such an enormous
increase in the use of this convenience
has come about since that time. Some
sample figures from the water report
include, of course, all the bathtubs In
the city, some of which are in public
places, but these are not enough to
alter the proportion to any degree
