ing store of J. Ko5ecker & Co., who
made an assignment here the other day.

counter between the officers who were
in possession for her and Judge Biddle,
attorney for the assignee.
Biddle entered the store with pistol
drawn and elected one of the officers.
The other constable met him with
drawn pistol and compelled him to
drop his gun. Then Biddle threw him
forcibly into the street. The court de-
MED the assignee an injunction against
Miss Cohen and advised him to pay her
claim of 81, $780, which he did.

J. 3. Chapman Says Democrats Will
Endorse Whole Populist Ticket

Joseph B. Chapman, once editor of
the Topeka Press and now county at
torney of Franklin county, was in To-
peka Saturday afternoon.
In discussing politics from a Demo-
cratic standpoint he said: ST believe
the Democratic convention at Atchison
will nominate the entire Populist ticket
There has never been a time when there
was so little dissatisfaction as there is
now and there is no reason why the en-
tire ticket should not be endorsed.
1.-The Democrats will be given the
place of lieutenant governor and 1
think that we should nominate some
big man for that place. 1t should be
some one who will add strength to the
ticket I wish that Overmyer would
consent to take the place. He would
add more to the ticket than any one
know"

LITIGATION ENDS.
Burlington Waterworks Controversy
Closed After Ten Years.

Burlington, June 13.-The case of A.
S. Race against the city of Burlington
was compromised and settled Wednes-
day by the payment to c. H. Race by
the city of $500, each side paying it's own
costs. The suit was brought in Wood
son county and the claim was for by
drant rental the first six months of 1888
under the old waterWOrkS contract,
which was in some way not included in
the assignment made by the Burlington
WaterworkS company, and was there
fore not included when the final settle
ment was made with N. w. Harris &
Co., by the city in March, 1897. With

HORSES HAVE CHAMBERS.
Sanitary Commission Makes Investi
cation in Harvey County.

Newton. June 13.-Frank Weinshank,
of Kingman, a member of the state live
stock sanitary commission investigated
reported cases of CHAMBERS among
horses in this vicinity. He found five
longing to ]. Y. Shelly were afflicted
with the disease, as we'll as two belong
ing to Joe Brenanman. Mr.. Weinshank
found that fourteen other horses be-
longing to these two men had been ex-
posed to the disease. Shelly and Bren-
amman have promised to kill the horses
that have developed the CHAMBERS. The
horses which were exposed to the dis
ease have been Quarantined and will be
held until DR.. Fisher, the state Veter-
mary examines them.
Mr.. Weinshank says that these are all
the cases in the county and that there
is no danger of the disease spreading.

out doubt the city could have fought
the case and won it, but to have done
so would have cost the city several
times the amount paid. There would
have been lawyers and experts and
chemists to pay at fancy prices, and
bills of expense to and from places to
meet, and all the high-priced incidents
of a lawsuit of which our people got so
very tired during the long years the
old original waterworkS suit was pend
ing. Under such circumstances the
cheapest and best way was to pay up
and get out of it, even if the claim were
unjust, and the council acted wisely in
compromising AS it is now all claims
are paid and the city is rid of all law
suits for the first time in over ten years.

RAILROADS LIABLE.
Supreme Court Af6rms the Linwood
Wreck Cases.

The supreme court has affirmed two
of the Linwood wreck cases appealed
from Clay county and held that both
the Union Pacific and Rock Island COM
panies are liabble for damages.
Both roads claimed that they were
not responsible. The Union Pacific
placed the blame on the Rock Island
and the Rock Island blamed the Union
Pacific. The lower court held that both
companies are liable and that conten-
ton is sustained.
This decision settles the famous con-
troversy. The railroads have been
beaten at every turn. The wreck was
caused by a Rock Island train running
into the rear of Union Pacific stock
train.

OFF TO GREENLAND.
Naval Cadets Will Study Life of Esqui-
maux

Washington, June 13.-The school ship
st. Mary's, stationed at New York, will
make an unusual cruise this year, car
rying the boys to Greenland and within
the arctic circle, in order to give them
an insight into the life of the Esqui-
maux and the geography of their coun-
try. Lieut.. Howard Patterson is in
command OF the vessel and there are
now about 70 boys on the ship under
going a course of instruction in navi-
cation and seamanship.
For over 20 years past it has been
the custom for the school ship to make
an annual visit to the Mediterranean
but, in view of the war, it was thought
best to select another destination for
this years cruise. It is expected that
the vessel will start on her trip to the
frozen north this afternoon or tomor-
row.
