SENATOR BAKERS POSITION.

Since Senator Baker has been sue
cessful in securing recognition from the
national administration and his right
to dispense the federal patronage in
Kansas has been admitted, he will
probably accede to the wishes of the
president on the important questions
pending before congress.
Senator Baker will probably now vote
for the annexation of Hawaii and for
the currency reforms suggested by the
president. He will not oppose the civ
il service policy of the administration
or offer objections to other measures
proposed. Since Senator Baker has
been conceded the prerogatives of his
Office in every particular, there is
scarcely any doubt that he will hereaf-
ter work in full accord and perfect har-
mony with the president

FIees to Escape a Damage Suit.

Leavenworth, Jan. 6.-EdWard Myers,
once a wealthy and highly respected
farmer, living near EaSton, this county,
has disappeared. Two law suits, one
for divorce and the other for 1000

of personal property.
The damage suit which was filed
against Myers was brought by Katie
Carson, an orphan girl, through Mrs.
Sarah Barlow, her guardian. The de-
PENDANT is charged with assaulting the
plaintiff when she was only 10 years old.
It is alleged that this practice was kept
up for two years before the guardian
of the child learned of the true cir
cumstances and took the girl from the
Myers home.
Myers is so years of age, wealthy and
has always been regarded as hOnOra BILE.
About 10 years ago Katie CarsOn's par
ents died in Brown county. Kas., Myers
made application to take Katie. Mrs.
Sarah Barlow, guardian of the child
rem, allowed him to take her upon his
promise to give the girl a good home
During the latter part of October last
the child's lawyer visited Myers with
view to securing a compromise, and a
date was specified for an answer Be
fore this time arrived Myers disposed
of $4,000 worth of his personal proper
ty and disappeared.
