ALL FOR $40.
Litigation That Seems Endless, and a
Good Exercise for the Brain.

Good Exercise for the Brain.
James summey attached $40 in Justice
Guys court that was to be paid Syl-
, vanus Thompson by G. c. Gordon and
the attachment was allowed.
This was the end of several Itigations
which have kept the small sum of $40
changing hands for several weeks.
Last winter Sylvanus Thompson took
a mare from G. c. Gordon to use
through the winter and summer and in
pay was to feed and care for the ami
NAL While in Thompson's care the
animal was sick and Thompson took
her to James Summey who treated her
and when she was cured returned her
to Thompson. The mare was again sick
and the second time was taken by
Thompson to a man by the name of
DeLong for treatment. While in De
Longs charge a colt was born. This
summer Thompson returned the animal
to Gordon and belong sued Gordon for
his services in doctoring the horse dur
ing its sickness. During the trial it
was decided that Gordon was not re-
sponsibie for the bills and that Thomp-
son was. The bill was for so and
Thompson was ordered by Justice Nc
Clintock to pay the bill. Then Thomp-
son sued Gordon for damages and to
sort Of even the matter Justice McClin-
took allowed Thompson SO damages.
Before Gordon could pay the damages
Summey attached the SO damages
which was the amount of his bill and
Justice Guy ordered Gordon to pay the
SO to Summey. Now Gordon has the
mare and colt, Summey and DeLong
have SO each and Thompson wonders
where he comes in He has the costs
to pay.

WILD DOGS
Attacked an Old Woman in the Noun
tains and Almost Killed Her.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Oct. 21.-On
Patterson's creek, in Kanawha county,
encounter with wild dogs, from which
she only escaped with her life.
Accompanied by her pet dog, she was
picking up coal out of a dark ravine in
the mountains, when suddenly two dogs
rushed out from a ledge OF rocks and
attacked the old woman and her dog.
The two fought the dogs desperately for
some time, but were finally compelled to
fee for their lives. The woman was
terribly bitten about the face and hands,
and her dog was almost killed. When
she arrived home, faint and bleeding,
her sons secured guns and went in
search of the dogs. When they arrived
at the scene of the fight they were at
tackled by the dogs, but the latter were
shot and killed. Hid in the ledge of the
rocks were several more young dogs,
and they were also promptly killed.

AN EMPORIA CASE
OF Interest in Educational Circles is
in the Supreme Court.

A few weeks ago the board Of educa-
ton of Emporia got at loggerheads with
the city council because the council re-
fused to approve the levy made by the
board for educational purposes, and an
action was brought in the supreme court
in behalf Of the board of education ask
ing for a. " rit of mandamus to compel
the city council to approve the levy.
The law states that the board shall
make the levy for school purposes and
that the council shall approve it. Judge
G. B. Graves, who is president of the
board of education, argued that the
council has no discretion in the matter,
but must approve the boards levy,
whatever it may be.
The supreme court holds otherwise
and the writ was denied yesterday No
opinion has been handed down as yet,
but the decision was made known in or
der that the parties might adjust their
differences as speedily as possible.
The decision is at variance with the
usual construction placed upon the stat
ute, as it has been supposed that a
board of education had full power in the
matter of making a tax levy for educa-
tionaI purposes in cities of the first and
second classes, and that the city coun-
ell had no alternative but to acquiesce.

WAR TAX CONDEMNED.
Wholesale Druggists Call It Crude
and Unfair.

st. Louis, Mo, Oct 21-New officers
of the National Wholesale Druggists
association in session here elected ex-
Mayor Cyrus Walbridge, of st. Louis,
president.
Reports of committee were then read.
Two important recommendations were
made by the board of control.
The first of these was that the new
committee on legislation ask of congress
g reduction and greater uniformity in
parcel postage.
The second recommendation was that
the enactment of laws be asked for
in the several states, prohibiting CO.
operation insurance.
The report of the committee on legis-
Iation declared the war tax law las
crude a piece of legislation as was ever
executed, and is, in addition, ambiguous
and unfair
The committee severely condemned
the law and especially that section of
it pertaining to the tax upon articles
handled in the drug business.
THE heavy burden of this section of
the law" the report says, falls upon
the shoulders of the retailer Congress
did not intend that the burden should
fall there did not fOresee that it would. !"

CENTRAL PARK sAURIA
Are Taken Out and Housed for the
Winter.

New York, Oct. 21.-The fifteen alli-
gators, big and little, in the Central
Park mena gerie were moved into their
winter quarters yesterday. Some OBJ
jected to the moving process and snap
ped their jaws when the keepers ap-
preached.
The biggest of the lot. an ugly fellow
about twelve feet long, snapped at
Keeper Peter Shannon's legs and took
a piece out of the keepers trousers as
he jumped to one side. The keepers
had a lively time in lassoing the big
saurian in the open air Enclosure, as he
seemed to know what was coming and
swung his head to one side when the
moose sailed through the air toward
him.
The moose was finally slipped over his
head, down upon his neck. The keepers
tried to take a blight in the rope over
the alligator's jaws so that he could
not bite them, but he fought against
this, and, getting the rope into his
mouth, held on like grim death. The
keepers tugged, and, finding this use
less, got an iron bar to pry open his
jaws.
Even then they were unable to open
it's mouth, but the gator suddenly
dropped the rope and tried to seize
Shannon by the leg. The keeper escaped
with a torn trousers leg, but with
whole skin.
After time the big fellows Jaws
were secured and he was dragged in
to the cold weather quarters in the lion
house.
The other medium-sized alligators
were Iassoed and pulled to their new

DEMOCRAT HOFFER

VIM. G. Hoffer OF Lincoln, Kas.. the

here with his sick wife and says that
he did not expect to have anything to
do with politicians while he is here.

is pleasant and he is a good talker. he

at will get as many votes as we got
two years ago which is ,440 and that
means that we are holding our own and
that is more than the Populists or Re
publicans are doing. 1t is difficult to tell
anything about the result Of the cleo
ton because the political meetings are
practically all failures. A short time
ago Boyle was advertised to speak in
our town and the meeting was well ad-
vertised, still there were not more than
$50 people there and tWo-thirdS of them
were women. A week or so later the
Republicans billed a meeting with J. R.
Burton and w. A. Reeder as the speak
ers and the crowd was about duplicated
as far as numbers are concerned.
81 think that this apathy Will help us
and will put us in good shape for the
future. If I were to bet I would put
my money on Reeder winning in the
Sixth. Things look that way now

JERE SIMPSONS MAJORITY
A Populist Opinion as to How Large
It VIII Be.

Lyman NaugIe, editor of the yelling
ton Voice, and chairman of the Repub-
Hcan congressional committee in the
Seventh district, is in Topeka today.
In speaking of the congressional out
look in the big Seventh - he said:
Jerry Simpsons majority this year
will run above what it was two years
ago. He will have something over
5000 this year against $500 in 1896. He
will run considerably ahead of the Pop
ulist state ticket, not so much on ac-
count of his own great popularity as on
account of Longs unpopularity.
Jerry is making the best campaign
speech in this campaign that I have ev-
er heard him make. He does not criti-
else AIcKinley's conduct Of the war, as
he is often reported as doing, but on the
contrary says that Mckinley has done
so well that he does not need the sup
port of Chester I. Long during the next
two years.

POOR BUT PROUD.
Undue Familiarity With Wait is In
dignantIy Resented.

He was ragged, pinched faced little
fellow and early in the morning he pre-
scented himself at police station and
asked for Mrs. Thorpe, the police
matrOn. The sergeant on duty sent him
up stairs and Mrs. Thorpe enquired into
his case. His father was dead and his
mother was too sick ia work They had
hardly enough to keep them warm and
this cold weather had found them with
out shoes to say nothing of an empty
cupboard. He was so hungry and the
shoes he had were so full Of holes that
his feet were cold. He had a dilapidated
basket on his arm and Mrs. Thorpe
gave him two pairs Of shoes, all she had,
and promised him more assistance if
she could find any clothes or food for
him.
The little fellow came down stairs
and as he passed a group in the hallway
one kind hearted man looked in the
basket and seeing nothing there but
shoes and thinking that perhaps the
boy was hungry, decided to aid him if
he could. He thought he might furnish
him with something to eat if he needed
it. He decided to ask the boy if he
could help him and by way of opening
the subject he said:
well what did Mrs. Thorpe do for
you, my lad?"
The boy stopped, rubbed his ragged
man over from head to feet and said:

What the - is it to you?

SHAKINGAMIGHTY CARPET
The One on the Senate Chamber is
Being busted.

The carpet on the floor Of the senate
chamber has been taken up and the
room seems to be in a fair way to be
thoroughly renovated, for the first time
since it was completed, some ten or
twelve years ago. A scafOlding is be-
ing erected today by the state house
carpenters in order that the ceiling may
be cleaned. The dirt which has accu-
INFLATED on the walls for a dozen years
is to be removed and the chamber will
again be something like 1t was once
when it gained the reputation Of being
the handsomest legislative hall in the
country. A new carpet is to be placed
on the floor and other improvements
made.
When the renovation of the senate
chamber is completed, representative
hall will be similarly treated. The walls
of the latter do not show the dirt, how
ever, as much as those Of the senate
chamber.

Sends Another Message to Karniva
Knights From San Francisco.

An1gnCS from Oan FRANCISCO.
In a letter received yesterday by
Charles K. Holiday, as president of the
Karnival Knights, from Miss Rose, she
says: My heart is heavy and sick
when I think of leaving all the dear
friends I have made during my visit
to this country. Nothing can erase from
my memory my visit to Kansas and the
many kindnesses received at the hands
of the dear people of Topeka It has
left an impression in my mind nothing
can blot out. I shall carry back to
Hawaii with me the memory of a visit
that, as I now look back upon it, seems
almost too good TO be true. I wish the
Karnival Knights and all the people Of
Topeka good cheer and aloha
The letter is written from Sacramento
and Mrs. Q. K. Holiday says:
when any mention is made of the
visit of Miss Rose to Topeka and of
her going away her eyes fill with tears
and she can not express the sorrow she
feels at leaving. The people here have
entertained Miss Rose in a most charm
ing manner. She has been the honored
guest at box parties; she has received
presents of every description and has
simply been shOwered with flowers. One
of the sights that Miss Rose will wit
ness in San Francisco will be q circus.
She has never seen anything of the kind
and she anticipates an enjoyable and
novel time. Miss Rose will sail from
Frisco Saturday the 22nd on the Aus

Nearly $4,000 of Wichita money is
tied up in bets on Stanley carrying
this county. The losers refuse to let
the money go, hoping vainly that the
vote of the colored boys in Santiago
will change the result Kansas Star.
Just as well, it will not change the
result. The returns are in Stanley's
favor. Only about 2S9 voted out of
about 600 $50 were sick and did not
vote; about 20 were under age and full
ly SO were not citizens Of Kansas. The
republicans have a majority out Of the
2s2, and crediting Sedgwick county
with 96, Stanley will still carry the
county by 60 majority.
