This Time the Prosecution Objects to

Proceeding With the Case.
Philadelphia, Feb. 2S.-The trial of
the Quay conspiracy case has been post.
poned until April 10. The announcement
was made in court before Judge Beitlcr
by District Attorney Rothermel. No
sooner had the change been made known
than it was asserted that the cause for
halting the case was an astounding dis
covery affecting the jury panel. Officials
In the district attorneys office declined
TO discuss this. beyond stating that there
was only reason why the trial should
not 60 on, the prosecution being entirely
in readiness to proceed. Rumor had it
that case of impcrsonation had been
detected, but concerning this no definite
information was obtainable.
After court adjourned Mr.. Rothermcl
said in reply to an Interrogation: while
I will say nothing whatever about the
cause which induced me to continue the
case, except what said in court. | can
state that the entire subject was submit
ted to Judge Bcitler and approved by
him before | made the application for
postponement."
Senator Quay's counsel hal this to
say: "'rhe fact of the matter is that
there is nothing whatever in the case.
Our experts have examined the books
and documents. They are mutilatcd,
false and fraud upon their face. We
are prepared to prove conclusively that
the entries duplicating Senator Quay and
his son were made six months after
the alleged conspiracy had been consum,
mated and the fruits, if any. had been
reaped. The commonwealth must ad-
nit this. Their own experts will testify
to it."
Mr. Rothermcl denies that the books
have been mutiatcd.

Dontes the Cznr's Reported III Health

London, Feb. 2S.-The Standards cor
respondent at Darmstadt, capital Of the
Grand Duchy of Hesse. says: II am
assured that the rumors that Emperor
Nicholas is so i'll as to he unable to at
tend to affairs are without foundation.
The fits from which he has suffered have
leading to the hope that they will event
ually cease. The chief reason why he
does not personally attend to state af
fairs il his anxiety regarding the ap-
preaching confinement of the czarina. 1t
is quite possible that the disquieting re-
ports emnnate from highly placed per-
sons in st. Petersburg whose plans
would be upset by the birth Of an heir.

test that will be memorable in the his

Mr.. German. OF Maryland, insisted that

beyond July l, 1901, be incorporated in

least would throw the bill over until
today, and perhaps defeat it. An agree
ment was reached finally, however, and
NJ Germans amendment in n slightly
modified form was accepted. The notable

only amendment of importance attached
to the army bill was one giving two

war with Spain. and one month $ extra

VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE.

We r pleased to be able to an
nounce that the cause of the people has
triumphed and that Wyoming will fall
in line with all progressive states in
the matter Of furnishing free text
books to all pupils Of the public school.
1t Is a state law, and will always be
such, despite the opposition of two or
three foolish trustees of the Cheyenne
school district, and their late efforts to
get this county omitted from the en-
actment.
II this legislature does no other good
it will always be favorably remem-
bered as the one which conferred the
blessing of free school books upon the
children Of the state.
The Sun-Leader has ~endeavored to
set forth the views of the educational
people upon this matter, our attention
being called to the subject by the ur-
gent recommendation of three state
superintendent of public instruction.
n as we proceeded to investigate we
found that all our county superintend-
ents OF h state and the teachers, quite
generally, were strongly in favor Of
free text books. The more we inquired
the nor facts and arguments were dis
covered on the same side OF the ques-
ton. In fact there was only one side
TO 1t. Not only is it almost the uni
versal custom in the northern states
to furnish the pupils with books, but
likewise in the old counties. States
that have tried the plan thirty years
are well pleased with it and do not find
IT expensive.
The legislature took the broad
grounds that the proposed law was
good for the state, and it would have
been absurd to have Gu. ut one little
corner because two or three narrow
minded men, who had Unfortunately
been placed on the school board could
not get in line with the march of edu-
cation. Nothing better pa ,es the need
of wide-awaKe, public-splrited citizens
as schol trustees hat the repressive
action of certain members of the Chey-
enne board. We want more trustees
who are earnest in the cause Of educa-
ton and who do not begrudge the ne
cessary means to that end We do not
say that the active lobbying of Frank
Bond and Gibson Clark against the
bill meets with entire approval of the
old members of the board. We very
much doubt il such is the case.
The keen interest shown by the press
OF Wyoming at the hearty and able
support with which every newspaper
in the state, worthy Of the name, has
championed the peoples cause, de-
serves more than passing recognition,
II shows that the Wyoming newspa-
per men are kept fully informed of the
progress that is being made In edu-
cational matters.-Sun-Leader.

DOCkERY'S START.

The Washington correspondent OF
the st. Louis Globe Democrat tells the
following good story of Mr.. Dockery's
start in politics:
Webster Davis tells an Interesting
story of Mr.. Dockery's start on a pub
lie career. Some twenty years ago Mr..
Dockery, after successful practice of
medicine in northwest Missouri, moved
to Gallatin and put his savings into a
new bank, of which he became cashier.
He went along several years, managing
the banking business with that care

which has since stood him well in his
service as a member Of the committee
on appropriations. Apparently there
was nothing in sight for himbutthef first
rank of successful business man of his
part Of the state. AT that time Mr..
Dockery wore a silk hat, black clothes
of fine texture, and the finest boots
known in northwest Missouri. Mr..
Dockery's boots we're a dream. The

The passage of the free text book bill
is a victory for the people. In the ag-
gregate it will save to the patrons Of
the schools many thousands Of dollars.
The request of Laramie county that it
should be excluded from the operation
OF the law was not deemed wise by the
members of the legislature and the
senate amendment to extend the pro-
visions of the law to all the counties
was finally concurred in by the house.
