City Assessor.

A special meeting Of the city coun-
Gil was held Wednesday for the purpose
OF doing something toward straight
ening out some awkward cOmplica-
tiOns arising out Of an act passed by
the special session Of the legislature
making the cffice OF city assessor
elective instead Of appOintiye.
The new law provides that the old
assessor shall hold until his successor
is duly elected and qualified. At an
adjourned meeting OF the council
February 10Th, Mayor Brown ignored
the act and appointed Mace Kirk to
be assessor to succeed Carnes. Attor.
Dey General GODDARD was called upon
for an opinion, in which he held that
the city assessors appointed 10 1898
must hold over until their successors
qualify at the spring election. Thus
the appointment OF Kirk as city
assessor was unwarranted and illegal,
as Carnes' term does not expire until
his successor qualities.
The city assessor must meet with
the county assessors the first Monday
in March to agree on basis OF yalua-
tion, and it is necessary to go to work
at once thereafter 10 order 10 CON-
plete the work by the 10th Of May.
AS the situation stood in Wellington,
it would be Carnes' duty to meet with
the county assessors next Monday and
20 on with the work until his success
sor qualities 10 April, when bis sue
cesssOr would take the job of his
hands.
ITO GET around thIo complication. .
People's voice. [volume] (Wellington, Sumner County, Kansas) 1890-1917, 1899-03-03

1t was arranged that Carnes should
resign and Kirk be appointed his
successor and make the race for the
Office of assessor at the April election.
ut is not plain TO the average citizen
why matters will be less complicated
with a new assessor than they would
be II Carnes should succeed HIMSELF J
Ii Kirk is elected to succeed himself
the work of the Office will 20 on unin.
terrupted until April, 1900, when the
same complications will arise again
and must be met 10 the same manner
as they were met this year.
As the thing looks upon its face,
the only way to avoid complications
over the city assessnrship is to re.
elect the same man to the office as
long as he lives or will run. In 9th.
er words, give him a life tenure on
the office.

Asylum Bill Passes.

The house Of representatives passed
the senate bill providing for the es-
tabishment and maintenance of a
new insane asylum in the state, Tues
day afternoon by vote Of 70 to 10.
The bill authorizes the senate to
select the appointment of a commits
sion Of nine, fOur from the senate and
five from the house, to select site.
The sum of 100000 is appropriated
to lay the foundation for the institu-
ti0n.
The bill requires a campus" of not
less than 640 acres.
After the selection of site is made
the state board Of charities will pro-
ceed to build as much as possible for
the rest of the 100000.
The commission is to be selected
from senatorial districts other than
those wherein it is sought to locate
such asylum.
The senate bill went through the
house without any material amend
ment,

which greeted him. The High school
male chorus furnished splendid music,
which added interest TO the services.
The society convened again at 10
O'Clock Thursday morning. Devotional
services were conducted by Rev. c. B.
Pdrkhurst. On roll call all the socie-
ties except two were represented.
The reports of the delegates from the
different societies provoked consider
able discussion.
The Rev. Geo. Robinson seemed to
doubt the wisdom OF the west building
churches IN the wealthy centers OF
the east. Rev. NJ. S. Mayse held that
no society could fill its Godgiveu mis-.
sion who coul2 MT see beyond the
limits OF their own local society; that
the spirit Of missions is the spirit of
Christ.

Of paper read by Miss Cora Lindsay

from those present. Society then ad-
journed until o'clock this afternoon.

SITUATION is CRITICAL.

Real Danger Of Foreign Intervention at
acknowledgements Needed.
Despite the strict censorship of all
telegraphic dispatches from Manila,
it is now dn open secret that the sit
uatiOn there is most critical. On ad-
vice of President Mckinley reinfore.
ments of both men and ships have
been ordered with all possible speed
to the assistance Of Admiral Dewey
and General Otis.
The danger is Of a double character.
There is threat Of foreign interfer.
ence, and there is danger of concert.
ed attack upon the FilipinOs within
and without the city. The opening
of the unhealthy season and the bush.
whacking tactics Of the natives have
increased the difficulty of dealing
with the rebels, but the president is
less worried by that than the threats
Of foreign interference. d.
The real status OF affairs has been
quietly impaired to the more discreet
members of congress and has had a
notable effect. The Billy Mason style
oil talk has been abandoned, and even
the strongest opponents of perman-
entincrease Of the standing army have
announced openly that they consider
the present time for patriotism, not
factious opposition.
Five thousand troops will be put
aboard transports at New York as
soon as they can be brought there.
