about the wealth Of the Klondike coun-
try have little idea of the standing of
Kansas as a wealth producer Kansas
does not put forth great claims as
mining state, but the value OF her lead
and zinc output for 1897 footed up tho

total grows larger with each succeed

The Kansas state supreme court has
made decision on the rights of shcr-
ifs in making arrests. 1t says; LEX.
cept IN pursuance to the command OF a
warrant sheriff has no authority to
make an arrest for misdemeanor not

which induces the officer as reasona-

him after having effected his arrest, is
guilty OF either murder or manslaugh-

Ill over Kansas, after harvesting is
expensive machinery can be

irving over Ellis county picked up
