JERRY SIMPSON HERE. .
Says Wichita Reunion Incident Was
Greatly Exaggerated

Jerry Simpson was in town last night
on his way from Indiana to speak at
the county convention at Troy this af-
ternoon. Speaking of the incident in
which ne was hooted off the stage for
delivering offensive hurrahs for Aguin-
aldo in his Wichita speech, Simpson
said:
THE reports of that incident have
been greatly exaggerated. The truth is
that a majority of that audience was
with me, but a crowd of tough boys and
some drunken old soldiers interrupted
me and quit"
Simpson says the people are with him
in that sentiment and expresses the
opinion that the Republicans who are
now so bitterly denouncing him viii
next year find that the sentiment Of the
voters in the United States is against
the principles that party now advo-

probably not be seen here again. as it
will be abandoned by Ware & Sackett
at the end of the present season. There
is but one particular objection that can
be found with Mr.. Stapleton's clever
production in itself and this concerns
a portion of the dialogue. At times the
lines lose all trace of prOpriety, and
border well on the vulgar. The farce
would be more wholesome and probably
better appreciated if these particular
lines had been left out.

LARGER COURT.
Constitutional Amend ment to
Be Submitted to People.
Shall Membership OF Supreme
Court Be Increased
FACTS ABOUT EXPENSE
Claimed That 1t Will Be Less
Than Appellate Courts.
News From Various State House
Departments.

At the election in November, 1900, the
people of the state of Kansas will vote
upon an amendment to the cOnstitu-
ton, which proposes to increase the
number OF judges of the supreme court
from three to seven. The adoption of
this amendment would do away with
the northern and southern department
courts of appeal andvptace all business
embracing appeals from lower courts
into the supreme court The appellate
courts go out of existence, however, by
statutory limitation in 1901.
1t is claimed the adoption of the pro-
posed amendment would effect a saw
ing Of S15.7oO annually to the taxpayers
Of the state and would produce more
effective mode of doing the legal bust
ness for the people of the state.
The most important saving in the ex-
penses of the courts would be in the
employment of help. Friends of the
proposed change claim that the present
force of a clerk and a deputy would be
able to do al the work of recording the
fees and looking after the cases which
come to the supreme court, which alone
would save annually $1,000.
The expenses of the court of appeals,
annually, are as follows:

There have been a number of lives

having been reported thus far.
The blizzard has inflicted great los
upon the cattle men, especially on tn
open ranges, where the loss of live ste G.
has been unprecedented. All along tn
coast the margins of the bays an
bayous are strewn with the cattle whic
have perished from cold. CONSERVATIVE
estimates placs the number of cattl
killed by the blizz ard at SO. 600 head; BIT
it is feared that latter reports will ir
: crease the total.
All the crops on the truck farms alor

Mckinley said all Spanish war soldiers
should be admitted to membership in

movement ought to originate within the

for the stars and stripes ought to be
welcome to the Grand Army organiza-

or deserted it.
