WANT THE CAPITOL.
Lawyers Favor Holding Appellate
Court at the State House.

There is a growing sentiment among
the lawyers of Kansas in favor of hav-
ing the two departments of the court of
appeals located in the state house.
Such change they elaine would bene-
fit both Iitigants and lawyers.
David Richie of Salina and John D.
Nilliken of Mcpherson who are trying
a case in the court of appeals today
are in favor of this idea. Mr.. Richie
said:
IF the court sessions were held at the
state house the lawyers would have
access to the state library which would
be one of the greatest accommodations
Imaginable. With the court in ses-
sion at the Shawnee county court
house the lawyers are compelled to
carry loads of books to and from the
state house and the judges themselves
are compelled to go to the state library
and hold their consultations practical
~ before the public. This is wrong and
should be changed. The location of the
two departments of the court in Topeka
would be blessing"
Mr.. Milliken endorsed the views Of
Mr.. Ritchie and suggested that the
state should provide for the accommo-
dation of the branches of the court in
the capitol.

AN EYE ON RUSSIA.
England is Urged by the Press to
Keep Pace With Her.

London, March 1.-THE morning pa
pers all urge the government to keep
pace with Russia in naval matters. but
no alarm is expressed, since it will take
Russia years to build her new yes
sells.
The Standard says: "Russia's action
is probably directed as much against
Germany and Japan as against Eng
land, and it might perhaps become nee
esSary for the government to assert It's
right of presumption over ships now
building in England for foreign govern
ments, but only as last resource. 1t
would be prudent, however. to fit out
the old battleships which are sound in
hull
The Times says: 1.-The speech of the
first lord of the admiralty (Mr- Cos
chem is not the sort of language Brit
ish ministers lightly use. We under
stand it at home, and hope it will be
understood abroad"
With reference to the Russian re
script, the Times says: THE whole
balance of free funds in the treasury
would not thus suddenly be appropriat-
ed, leaving the equilibrium of the bud
get to the chances of the uncertain fu-
ture, without serious cause"

PINGREE SPLITS THEM.
Middle of the Road Populists Would
Name Him for Governor.

Lansing Mich, March 1.-THE COM
mittee of two wings of the Populist
party in this state are having some
difficulty in getting together The
ddle-of-the-road men have a call
prepared for convention to be held in
Grand Rapids and which will nominate
Gov. Pingree for governor in advance
of the Repu blican state convention
Chairman Ewing of the fusion COM
rnittee said: IF these Grand Rapids
fellows think harmony means simply
getting over onto their plans and they
call an early convention to nominate
Pingree, they will find there won't be
any getting together. The force of
events will eventually drive him to the
reform forces, but he is not there yet. -
The conference committees being IN
able to come to an agreement. the
straightout faction finally issued an
ultin1atum to the fusiOnists to join with
them in issuing a call for a convention
to nominate a straight Populist ticket.
This was rejected by the fusionists. and
the anti-fusionists issued a call for a
convention to be held at Grand Rapids
June 81 The fusionists then appointed
a committee of fifteen to meet with
other committees to be appointed by
other parties who will meet in Detroit,
April 5, when it is expected a call will
be issued for a state fusion convention.

Wants to See BIS Ma.

Lewis L. Jones, a boy of Is years, was
taken into custody Thursday evening
by Patrolman Grosch and taken to pO-
lice station. He was held as a run
away. The boy has the usual tale of a
cruel stepfather, etc. Today he said:
My home is in Oskaloosa, Iowa My
father is dead and my mother is mar
ried again. I left home month ago
because my stepfather was mean to me
and drove me away from home. I was
down at Wichita and the folks sent me

very sick. I had started for home and
when 1 got to Topeka they arrested me.

WILL NOT HURT TOPEKA.
Addition to the Santa Fe Shops at
Fort Madison of a Local Nature.

Every time it is heard by Topeka peo-
pie that the Santa Fe win build at some
other point along the line the question
Immediately comes up whether that will
anect Topeka. The building of the Fort
Madison shops, as announced in the Jour
nal several days ago, has again brought
up that question. The building of the
shops at Fort Madison will in no way in
jure Topeka, or, it might be said, not
better Fort Madison materially.
The new shops are being built simply to
give the machinists al that point better

PASSING THEMAROUN
Poor Harmless Lunatic Drifts Into
Coffeyville From Where None
Knew

Independence. March 11-Yesterday Con-
stable Stuckey of CoffeyviIle brought up
and lodged in jail who gives his
name as james Frisby, and who appears
10 be insane. He dropped into Coffeyville
on Monday from nobody knows where and
he himself seems utterly unable to tell
where he came from and it is doubtful
whether he knows his own name. He APP
pears to be from 80 TO 40 years of age,
and apparently harmless.
1t is likely that he was shipped into
Coffeyville from some place that wanted
to get rid of him. The county attorney
and the probate judge have not yet de-
termined what to do with him. 1t is
not likely that he is a resident of this
county and he should not be a charge
upon it.

EX-TREASURER SUED.
Leavenworth Political Fight Comes
Up Again.

Leavenworth, March 11.-Baker, Hook
& Atwood, attorneys for City Treasur-
er o. c. Beeler, filed a suit in the dis
trict court this morning against Amos
A. Fem to recover $546 and interest.
It is claimed Mr.. Fem drew this
amount as salary for services as city
treasurer from April 16 to December
Is, 1897, when Mr.. Beeler was the city
treasurer and entitled to the salary.
This is a result of Mr.. Fenn's refusal
to turn the office of city treasurer over
to Mr.. BeeIer after he was elected to
the office last spring. Mr.. Beeler was
not given possession until a decision
was rendered by the supreme court
that he was entitled to it.
